1 Thanatos

With a *bzzt* I died and woke up in a black office. I say black office because all the furniture is black and the walls are painted in extremity dark shades of colours. In front of me is a man decked out in black from head to toe; black hair, black eyes, black three piece suit and he's holding a black iPad typing and swiping away frantically.

He stopped swiping before looking towards me and scanned me with his abyss like gaze. "Hmm? Oh I suppose it's my turn to get a mortal for starting a pantheon. Yay-" he said in a droll tone displaying a lack on enthusiasm.

He stood up and swirled around me with his tablet in hand. The camera scanned me before he read the results. "You died through electrocution because one of your co workers was incompetent. They had damaged one of the electrical sockets the night before and left without it without notifying anybody. When you arrived the next morning you went to plug in some equipment resulting in a fatal electrical shock.

Rather unlikely but I've seen for stranger deaths in your word. Anyway mortal, you spin three wheels to determine your next life. If you've done good you join my pantheon, my piers call me Thanatos"

Oh shit he's a god of death, at least he won't snap me. "I can in fact snap you out of existence mortal, please don't compare me to a grape like simp such as Thanos. Honestly who would fall in love with lady death, she's a stone cold bitch." He said before pushing a button on the wall.

Three wheels spawned from behind it and were littered with changing words in a language I don't understand. Thanatos then pointed them out individually. The first is the powers, knowledge and/or experience of someone from a fictional universe that I can receive. The second was the world I will be going to and the third was my means of arriving their such as a baby or by possessing someone.

I spun the first wheel making it rattle, the god began humming some strange gameshow theme whilst it spun. Eventually it landed on [Killua Zoldyck] which made me giddy. That kid was a badass in HXH and in some of the jump games I mained him.

Thanatos hums "a killer, depending on the world that might not be useful. Other worlds have their own energy so nen may not be accessible."

Dammit I wanted to make my own bullshit powers, no limitless rip offs or crafting a gamer system for me~. Seeing as Thanatos displayed a micro smirk he most likely heard my joke. He gestured for me to spin the second.

Que the spin and I received..... [Naruto]. Ah that's gonna suck. Thanatos chuckled grimly "cheer up mortal, your an assassin going to an assassins world. Worst case you fall upon your old profession as a butcher that is if you can make it to a secure enough village in time".

He's right, that world is littered with dangerous lands, bandits, missing nin, chakra beasts, a possible zetsu consuming you, a pedophilic snake and cults. If I'm not in a big village I would be crushed by them if I end up in the war times. If I'm in one then I could be subjected to *shiver* local politics. I don't wanna deal with root bullshit and young masters from clans.

I sighed in resignation and marched toward the third wheel and just slammed it downwards. Thanatos coughed after it stopped spinning making me look at the wheel. [Naruto}. I'm already going to the world why did it appear again.

"Mortal that means I'm planting you inside Naruto's body. So much for the butcher plan~"

Oh fuck you Thanatos! I'm the main character off a series that's about not giving up. Which means I'm gonna he faced with non stop bullshit that will make ME wanna give up on the spot. Discrimination and abuse from my surroundings with my only reprieve being ramen and possible affections from the leader of the village, that is if he wasn't manipulating Naruto. Oh who am I kidding of course he was, give an abuse victim a weapon and they'll use it on their abuser.

Naruto has enough chakra to crush most off their military, maybe that's why he wasn't armed to the teeth with ninjitsu in canon and instead giving only the bare minimum that was only useable with taijutsu..... which Naruto received flawed training in.

Thank fuck I'm getting Killua's memories, he has plenty of martial arts training to rely on. Hell hes already trained as a shinobi by their standards and I'll just need to learn chakra. Can I use Nen I thought.

"Why don't you find out mortal" Thanatos said before he smacked me with his IPad. The Shinigami better not be as much of an asshole as this guy I thought I fell into the void.

<Konoha>

A young blonde boy was running for his life with some loaves off bread in hand. He was moving much faster than a normal child should be capable off meaning he has ninja origins.

Every civilian knows who the fox demon brat is, he's been stealing food because he can't afford to pay for it. Because off his secret being leaked lots of people want him dead, they can't kill him under their Hokage's orders but then can bring him close according to the elders.

So they toss him out off their stores and jack up the prices. They sell him the damaged clothes they get from their suppliers every so often. They vandalise his home by smashing his stuff and breaking his windows so he lives in perpetual cold.

The life of a young Naruto uzumaki could only be perceived as hellish. Today though several genin were chasing after him for stealing some bread. One particular genin smirked.

"Check it out guys, I'm gonna use that new ninjitsu I bought. It'll teach the demon a lesson" he shouted making his two teammates smirk.

The last thing Naruto heard was "Lightning style- thunder ball" before an orb of lightning struck his back. He couldn't even scream as the electricity flowed through his body hitting everything within. His skeleton was even on display for a brief point of time to the civilians who grinned at his punishment.

When the jutsu ended Naruto fell on the ground releasing some smoke from his body. Even his eyes leaked a little mist from the electrocution. His blonde hair that was the shame of some of the yamanaka clan had turned white.

The genin walked up and kicked him lightly to see if he still lived. Watching Naruto's chest expand slowly before a pained wheeze leaked from his lips. The genin smirked "it's still alive, it's more durable than we thought. This will teach it to steal from Konoha" he said before spitting on Naruto and walking away.

The shop vendors decided to go about their business ignoring the smouldering boy left at the side of the road. Eventually a mask wearing anbu appeared before grunting as he lifted Naruto by his leg and vanished with him in tow.

Arriving at the Shit apartments at the far side of the night district the Anbu broke into Naruto's rancid apartment littered with trash from rappers and ramen bowls that he managed to scrounge up to feed himself. Frowning in disgust behind his mask the anbu wearing a gorilla mask just tossed Naruto onto his stained bed and left swiftly.

Hours went by before Naruto regained consciousness, but this Naruto will be nothing like before. The boy grabbed his head and grunted in pain from the influx of memories. He then growled at what he had seen.

"Seriously!? A fucking jutsu was blasted at a child and they don't give a fuck. Without the nine tails Naruto would be dead, I would be dead." The boy monologues to himself.

He looked down at his charred body and frowned more before looking around the apartment. First things first is washing all the grime and burned flesh off. I've already healed from all the other shit but I'm starving. You gotta eat to heal after all.

Naruto began kicking some off the trash towards one corner of his "apartment" if you could even call this shit hole that. The windows are shattered and there's a lingering smell of piss and shit.

Naruto looked out from one of the exposed windows and saw his surroundings. Looks just like the show he thought chuckling as he saw the four kage faces mimicking Mount Rushmore. The part of town he's in is near brothels and bars meaning that if he went out at night he'd be beaten by a drunk.

Naruto assumes their was no food because he died stealing bread. He went for a shower and found the water was ice cold, the hot water tap did nothing! Naruto left his shower and dried himself with a dirty rag. It's all he's got so he has to work with it.

He looked in a cracked bathroom mirror and saw that his normal sunshine blonde hair had turned white like Killua's was. Naruto smirked at that as he reviews Killua's memories. He has twelve years of memories from the young Zoldyck, nothing more from when he left with Gon to travel with Alluka.

Let's see; assassin training, survival training, nen stuff, body refinement training, sleep conditioning and a plethora off other skills that would make someone a killing machine.

Naruto went back to his bed and crossed his legs trying to open his aura nodes. From what he remembered he's five years old swiftly approaching six. He will be forced into attendance at the academy at 8 years old for a four year course. Yeah that's not happening! I've got two years to make something of myself and escape this dump.

Options? I'm a jinchuriki so a village will either want to extract that from me or keep me under their thumb. I could explain that as an uzumaki I'm the only one capable of containing the nine tails due to my clans inherent Vitality. If they still decided to kill me knowing that then they're retards not worth staying with.

So I have to pick a village; Kiri is in a civil war and is targeting bloodlines so that's out, Suna is going through an economic crisis because their leader is an asshole, Iwa will kill me for being a Namikaze and they would probably learn that method through some form of mind interrogation like the yamanaka. So that leaves Kumo, they openly recruit people with bloodlines and aren't biased as fuck towards jinchuriki.

So Kumo it is, I'll say I want to join a village that won't hate me for having a monster in my guts. Besides that I have to show some form of skill that makes me valuable besides being a stud horse for uzumaki. Being an amazing assassin should do it.

Now how to get there? Points of exit from the village are the gate and climbing the walls. Sensors would be placed at strategic points around the walls though so I'd have to study their patterns to find a blind spot or I could just boast through the gate.

I also have to determine how well they can track me, have they tracking seals on me? Probably not as they couldn't find Naruto when he was travelling with Killer B in shippuden. But I'm detectable in the village thanks to the crystal ball and the hyuga.

Can't smash the ball because it's under lock and key. So train up and make myself marketable to Kumo or any other village, learn about the local forces, unlock my energy source and train it to some degree, get some food.

Seems easy enough~ Naruto then began to try and expel his aura like Killua used to with Nen. His pours wouldn't open so he tried brute force only for him to feel several points in his body rattle.

Hmm so no Nen in naruto but I can feel my chakra. Those "points" that rattled are my Tenketsu, trying to open them again revealed exactly 361. This took three hours of internal examination for Naruto.

His next step was feeling the energy gathered in his gut, pulling from the Tenketsu in his brain down to the ones in his stomach made a chain reaction. A blue flame like energy formed in his belly. Next step was to guide that through each off his Tenketsu.

Moving it in the same direction of his hair flow made the energy more malleable. Pushing the flame though each point made Naruto jolt. Six hours later he pushed the flame through every point.

It was like a damn opened, the flame began pouring through the points in cycles constantly increasing. When Naruto opened his eyes he felt strength leaking from every point in his body.

He stood up slowly and tried to rain in his chakra like Killua did with his Nen. The chakra slowed down and became docile.

Holding up his arm Naruto started guiding the chakra to that limb, he felt it become stronger immediately. Naruto smirked as he tried applying it to his bare feet. After a few minutes his feet were stuck to the ground. So he cut the energy and moved onto scaling the wall by his bed.

He started with pushing chakra into his fingers and making that stick. It took more effort but he was able to figure that out. He began to scale the walls like Spider-Man. He even snag the theme tune before he dropped back onto the bed. The ancient springs in the ratty bed groaned when he landed down on them.

Naruto looked at his hands and smirked, Chakra is easier to manipulate than Nen is. Nen has to be blasted from every pore on the body which is something like five million. So controlling 361 points is much much easier in comparison.

Ten principle is easy to use, trying zetsu principle with chakra made him feel like he was pulling water into a balloon. He tried pushing all the water into his body. He accomplished that after twenty minutes, the volume of chakra is much higher than the amount of Nen that Killua has access to in his life. But chakra is easier to manipulate so he could control it.

This Naruto won't have control issues, he considered trying Ren principal but then thought better off it. If Naruto unleashed his chakra then every ninja in the village would be here.

His stomach rumbles loudly reminding him that he hadn't eaten in hours. Deciding to end training here Naruto moved towards a wooden plank in his room. Shaking his slightly it dislodged so Naruto pulled it back to reveal a fishing rod and Gama chan (his wallet).

Naruto learned to hide his valuable things, it's dark out but Naruto can see perfectly fine. He has night vision? Neat.

Naruto left the apartment without locking it. What would be the point? Someone would just break it and he would have to replace it. Naruto left his home dressed in a light blue vest and a pair of purple shorts. This was before Naruto bought the orange jacket it seems so he had normalish clothes. Though heavily worn and slightly damaged they'll do.

Naruto want towards one of the many training grounds to attempt to fish up some food for the night. Tomorrow he'll begin conditioning his body like a Zoldyck. With his healing factor the process can be accomplished much quicker.

He will also have to sneak into the library for books about the local training grounds. The forest of death had poisonous insects and plants. He could use those to condition his poison tolerance so he needs to know what's he's working with. The beasts can serve as combat training and food.

The other training grounds may have similar environments with animals and plants from regions all over the world. A fast way to acclimate to the world chuckled Naruto as he walked passed all the drunk patrons off the nearby bars.

Normally one would try and star something with Naruto but oddly enough they barely perceived him. The white hair he now adorns may have actually served to his is identity temporarily. His steps.... were much quieter than they usually are.
