1 New World

What a great day it was... not. I am dead. It all started with me just chilling outside after finishing Naruto and I needed some fresh air. So, as I was walking on the street, having my headphones on listening to some music ignoring the people running around me I felt a sudden pain in my chest area. Guiding my hand to where I felt the pain, I realised I could barely move it. When I touched my chest, the pain intesified and as I looked at my hand I saw red.

I wobbled a couple of times and then I fell on the hard concrete. My headphones fell from my ears

and I could hear people screaming and gunshots. It turned out that I was caught in a crossfire and the cause of the pain in my chest was a stray bullet.

As I was bleeding out I kept thinking about my life and my accomplishments and I realised I had none. I was just a simple guy of 21 years old with nothing but a loving family which supported my worthless ass. I had many dreams but no drive to work for them and when I think about it I felt like it's better for it to end now even if I would miss my family.

My conscience was fading away and I could feel nothing anymore, no pain, no emotion, nothing.

Suddenly I could feel something, pain, hatred. It felt like my skin was burning, not like it happened before but if it did, I think this is what it would be like.

I barely had any control over my body, barely could see anything, just some figures I could not distinguish. But I could feel them being agitated, they were screaming and something fell onto one of the figures, the ceiling I guess because now I could 'see' outside. And what I 'saw' terrified me. A huge thing with nine tails?, roaring.

Was this a nightmare? Did I fall asleep in front of my computer? It seemed unreal. I hope it was! Then, shock! The monster disappeared and all it left behind was the wailling and screaming of people.

After a while, someone picked me up and I could feel my tiredness pilling up and I let myself being pulled in the darkness.

As I woke up I felt hungry, I tried to get up and go eat something but surprise, I could not. I lifted my hand to grab something and guess what... it wasn't my hand. I mean, it probably was but it was too small to be mine, it looked just like a baby's hand.

I looked at my hand and then it came to me, I reincarnated! After being shot in the chest and dying I woke up in a baby's body in a different world, I think, considering the huge monster I've seen. That huge monster looked just like Kurama, the nine-tailed chakra fox. But that would be impossible, unless... I am in a fictional world, I am in Naruto! No no no, that sounds so wrong~ I am in the Shinobi World!

Well, I was still hungry and I did the best thing a newborn? could do, cry.

"Wah, Wah, Wah!" I kept crying until I heard a woman's voice.

"Oh, the baby woke up~ Shush there little one. I guess you're hungry.I'll bring you something to eat." Said the woman in what sounded like Japanese, lucky me~ I knew Japanese. She sounds a little old, still can't see properly. So, she's probably not my mother?

After a while she came with a baby bottle filled with milk, I guess? Weird, if she was my mother she would've breastfed me. Who knows, I am probably an orphan if that was Kurama's attack. Or Obito's? Yeah, that makes sense.

After she fed me, she moved me in a room filled with children and put me in a bed, I closed my eyes and I thought about what happened lately. I died, reincarnated in a fictional world and I was an orphan. Great! Once she left the room I relaxed and I fell asleep.

-One week later-

I was depressed, I was in the same generation as Naruto and thats quite bad. After all, Madara is going to start a war in less than two decades. The worst thing here was that I would probably die. I had no power to protect myself.

Should I just be a civilian? A random nobody who could die any day as a collateral victim? That would be way worse than dying in a war or in a mission. At least as a shinobi I could have a chance and my best bet to survive here was chakra.

How could I not grab this chance to use this wondrous energy that could give me superhuman powers, shoot fireballs, jump over trees and houses, and cut the moon in half? Yeah, I am not giving up this chance. I was a lazy bum in my previous life but in this one I want to rise to the top, somehow. I just hope I have some talent in anything, if not, I could always become like Rock Lee and Might Guy~ I'll think about that later.

And then something that I felt way too often lately hit me again. Pain. This time in my brain, soul or whatever it was, my head was hurting and spinning as I gained new information. I was happy, excited even, hehehe, finally my cheat was here! With this I could survive and more.

If you're wondering what my cheat was, don't worry~ I am telling you right now, I don't care from whom they came from but thank you so much for these gifts. Let's start with the least impressive and that was Rokushiki, the marine combat style from One Piece! I bet I could use this way better than those in One Piece since this world had chakra. More impressive than that was Haki, mhm, that Haki, I felt I could use it as long as I became strong enough, it gave me great defense and attack, a sixth sense that would allow me to better combat my enemies and also a way to suppress them.

And the most impressive of them was the Devil Fruit power, Yes! I did not have to eat the fruit, I did not have the Sea Curse and it's a Logia! I gained the Earth Earth Devil Fruit power. I don't know if this one existed in One Piece and I can't think of it as too powerful but it's a Logia, even though I would probably need lots of training to be able to transform in said element.

I couldn't help but think about the strength I would gain after training these gifts to their utmost limits, I could finally become someone in this world, I could survive and I would be free!

As I was thinking about my future, someone else was doing the same.
