1 +Prologue Reborn In the Narutoverse
Standing before the young man was nothing but darkness, he stood there for what felt like an entirety when he heard a chime.
"The last thing I can remember is sitting on a bus after being diagnosed with a brain tumor that could take my life at any time. Where am I?"
"Hello Young Mortal. Due to your selfless action of saving those people on the bus, you have amassed a large amount of Karma points." The mysterious voice that sounded neither male nor female, rang in the young boy's soul.
"That's right! My name is Aron Welks Smith! I was born in America and was 22 when I died. A terrorist attempted to hijack the bus while it was driving over a bridge. I remember pulling the door open and tackling the terrorist off the bus. As we hit the water, I'm sure he detonated the explosives killing us both," Aron said with a stunned expression.
Although it took a while to recall, once Aron did, he wished he hadn't. Thanks to the fact he was born with an edict memory, he remembered everything down to the littlest detail, including some of the feeling of having his body being blown into pieces.
"The people that you saved, chose to live better lives because of your selfless action. In honor of your sacrifice, they went on to perform many deeds in your name through random acts of kindness and charity. Thirty years later in your timeline, one of the survivor's children was inspired by your tale and became the future president of the U.S.A."
Aron gasped as the voice continued, "Following his leadership peace soon began to spread to the rest of the world, leading mankind to a far more prosperous future than what was destined to happen."
The strange voice continued."Due to the massive amounts of Karmic points you've amassed, you can choose to be reincarnated on Earth, sent to a Heaven realm to live out the rest of eternity in peace, or you can be reincarnated into a Fabricated-Realm world with your memories intact."
"Fabricated Realm Word, what's that?" Aron asked.
"Every known story imagined creates a pocket reality that further stabilizes the rest of the universe. The imaginations of humans are the most important thing in existence! The more creative your species is, the more stable the universe becomes."
"So things like the Dragon Ball universe and the Naruto Universe are real? And I get to keep my memories?" Aron questioned with excitement in his voice.
"In a manner of speaking, yes." The voice from the void responded.
"I want to be born into the Naruto Universe!"Aron shouted as he pumped his fists.
Aron loved that series, although he didn't like how Naruto became a side character and a bad father in the Boruto saga. But if he was going there, he could change all that by helping the economy become more self-sufficient. Which meant less paper work and giving Naruto more time to spend with his family.
Aron wanted to be a scientist of many studies, so he had taken many different classes at his university and because of his 190 IQ he had no problem acing every class; this included economics and engineering. If he could give Konoha the world's first advanced CPU, then they could kiss goodbye to the last paper ever needed to be filed.
"What clan, region, and bloodline do you wish to be born in to?" The voice asked.
Aron thought hard, "I want to be born in the land of the Bears. At the Village Hidden amongst the Stars. As for clan, can I be born with a new bloodline that's suitable for absorbing Star Chakra?"
"Yes. I'll make you the son of the Aka Hoshi, and Niwa Hoshi. You will be born one year before the Kyuubi attacks the village."
The voice then gave out a warning, "By doing this, I've altered the timeline slightly so you could be born, you should know that there will be some small differences in the world you're joining. There is also much about the Naruto Universe that Kishimoto did not reveal, so there is a great deal of information pertaining to the secrets of this world."
"Does this mean that the whole timeline is different than what Kishimoto wrote?" Aron asked earnestly.
"No, the main plot points are destined to happen, it is little stuff like the movies, games, and other material that have really changed the main timeline, the actualized Naruto Universe is far more expansive than you realize. This is why I ask if you are sure you want to reincarnate there?"
Aron laughed as he said, "What fun would I have if I knew everything? At least this way there will be some surprise."
The voice seemed to have chuckled before saying, "As a bonus gift I will give you a system to help promote your strength in that realm and assist with your life."
Before he could ask what kind of System, Aron was snapped into a new reality.
He couldn't see or hear that god's voice anymore so he assumed he was already reborn, what the god didn't tell him was that it would be as a fetus.
He wanted to yell but had no vocal cords to shout. Luckily he could still think, "Damn that god, couldn't he have warned me I'd have to spend up to nine months as this?!"
The young unborn version of him let out a mental sigh, the reason he had chosen this place, was because it was from the filler arc, and he didn't want to mess up Naruto's origin.
Although he wished he could do something for his parents, guessing from how little time he had to train he didn't think it would be possible.
"Hey System; are you there?" A chime ringed in his head, "Reading Host's Data!" the mechanic voice spoke as a screen appeared in his mind.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
"Ohh! There's a pack. But before I open, hey System? What else can you do?"
"Most of my functions are sealed at the moment, however when I can be of help I will let you know."
"So you don't know yet."
"Correct! I am the multipurpose system, given to one who has a chance to become a God. I have many functions to guide you on this path."
"Okay then, open the starter pack!" Aron declared.
"Opening starter pack." The mechanic voice chimed.
•Star God's Chakra Cultivation Manual; •10x Full Healing Pills; •10x Full Chakra Recovery Pills; •Map of the World; •Portable Training Room; •Profession Relic
"Whoa, not a bad starting pack! Wait, Cultivation Manual? Like from the Wuxia Novels?" Aron thought for a second before thinking "I guess it makes sense, after all a lot of characters in Naruto were based on the Chinese story Journey to the West; a Wuixa style world history isn't too farfetched. System, can you display the information in the manual? Since I can't touch it yet, it would be really helpful."
Responding to his order, a glowing set of scrolls were hovering in the System's Item Storage suddenly activated.
A wave of information surged into his consciousness as he began to instantly comprehend the scrolls.
"This cultivation method is insane!" Aron thought that if he practiced it to mastery he could draw and store massive amounts of Natural Energies and Chakra from every star in the sky, including the sun.
Not only was Natural Essence gained from stars powerful; it was also extremely pure and a neutral-type of energy. The first step forming his lower Dantian!
Unlike Naruto who had to use Natural Energy contaminated with Earth Essence, the MC wouldn't have to worry about turning into stone.
Everything in Nature carries its own elemental force, such as Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. If one used Wind natural energy to achieve the Sage State, they risk turning to dust and gasses.
If they try it with water they could end up as sludge or fall apart into a puddle of liquid.
Fire burns you to a crisp and earth turns you to stone.
Star energy is neutral in its nature, and the most suited for humans to train with. Even the great sage of the six paths used the natural energy from the stars to power his body.
Think of Star Chakra like a blank canvas, it can fit every color on it without disturbing the other elements.
"If I continued to practice this cultivation technique, I could even rival the Tailed Beasts' in Chakra levels someday." Aron felt giddy as he thought of the power he would wield someday.
The Fetus started to practice the technique and began gathering the Star Essence leftover in his mother's body. In return, the poisonous radiation that had soaked throughout his mother's body began to recede, and her health slowly began to improve.
His parents were baffled. Mostly his Father; because Aka Hoshi knew what extreme exposure from the radiation did to the human body. Having a child should be impossible in his wife's advanced condition.
His grandfather the current Hoshikage learned of this and put aside his feud with his son-in-law.
The idea of appealing the use of the Star of Hoshi took a back seat, having a child that could be immune to the star's radiation, could be the answer to so many issues the village was experiencing, but all he cared about was his daughter and the baby's well being.
So, for the young hero of the story, the next nine months passed by slowly. Thanks to Aron's hard work he had mastered the cultivation manual by the time his body had mostly formed.
His screen now read...

"Three more days until I'm born? Well then, I wonder what my name's gonna be?" These next few days were unimaginably slow, and his anticipation constantly got the better of him.
Finally, the day had come. Thankfully, the birth had passed without any problems.
Seeing that he was finally out, the baby tried to shout, "I'M FREE!" but instead, all that came out was "WA WAAA!"
His body didn't have fully developed vocal cords, so no matter how he tried to speak only jumbled 'ahhs' and 'oohs' could be heard.
After his mother took him into her arms she cried happily while cradling the newborn close to her breast.
Seeing her for the first time, our newly born hero thought she was very beautiful, at least comparable to the goddesses of Konoha.
She had fair pink skin, long brown hair, and gorgeous blue pupil-less eyes. Her smile right at the moment was akin to an angle that could melt the hearts of millions.
"My little hopeful star, I want to name him Kibo, Kibo Hoshi will be his full name," Niwa said with tears of joy spilling from her eyes.
The Father stood next to them and was crying as well when followed up by saying, "Yes, what a great name."
His father had long blue-grey hair and dark-blue eyes. and was fairly handsome and appeared quite young. If it wasn't for his pale complexion he would be far more appealing to the eyes.
Aka's tall thin body appeared to be under a lot of suffering, the radiation in his body was slowly, but surely it was killing him. Right now, there aren't any immediate effects because Aka Hoshi had mastered the Mysterious Peacock Technique, giving him at least another 20 years before his organs turned to dust.
The first year was simple enough. Kibo had already begun to walk and even managed to make out a few words like mom and dad.
In his previous life he pretty much lived alone, his mother died giving birth to him, and his father ran out on him when he was an infant.
Kibo had never experienced such love and care before, and with the caring family he was born into, he learned that he rather enjoyed it.
Since Kibo was born a few months before the attack of the Kyuubi, Naruto was born shortly after Kibo.
The Clan Kibo was born into, had a unique tradition. After the children born in the Hoshi Clan, they would be given a birth constellation based on the season and month they were born on.
He was born during the fall and ninth month of the year, giving him the Star Wolf constellation. On one's birthday, they make a wish on that constellation similar to how Earthlings' wish on random falling stars or blowing out candles.
Even though the event of Naruto's birth was done and over with for more than a year, Kibo couldn't help it. He made a wish on his constellation; he wished that that Naruto's parents could have somehow survived.
Unknown to him when he turned his back to enjoy his birthday cake, his constellation began to brighten for only a brief moment.
In his second year, Kibo had begun speaking full sentences and could even begin his Ninja training earlier than normal kids.
Although this would be considered strange on earth, the Chakra in this realm accelerated the brain and body's development at a much greater pace. This is why even though Naruto was only three he could remember how he was treated as a child so vividly, and why the children in the show seemed so much more mature than should be possible.
In the world of Shinobi, Kibo's mental development was rare, but not unheard of. Of course, his parents were ecstatic to have such a genius child.
Usually, one would have to wait until they were 4 to begin training, yet Kibo showed such incredible talent, that to allow him to start in half the time.
When he turned two and a half, his father had given him the Mysterious Peacock Technique to train in.
When the young boy's eyes scanned the document, suddenly, Kibo's system proceeded to freak out.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! The cultivation technique is damaged and can cause serious harm to the individual practicing such a technique. Side effects include, organ failure, accelerated aging, Chakra contamination, and mental hazards such as tumors, and personality altering effects."
"Whoa, no wonder so many of our people are dying! This technique is worthless." Kibo thought to himself.
Before he could advise his father to stop training in the Mysterious Peacock Style, the System continued to act out.
"Ding! Quest Activated! Repair and Remake the Mysterious Peacock Technique! Reward: 100 System Points and unlock shop option."
"Oh, so you give out quests? What can I purchase with the system shop?" Kibo responded internally.
"Common to Forgotten Jutsus, weapons, armor, Chakra recovery pills, magical herbs and resources that only belong to this universe, and much more."
"Okay then!" Kibo thought as he turned to his father, and said "Thanks, Dad! I make sure to study it well."
His father rustled his hair and laughed before saying, "Alright, you train I have to go speak to your Grandfather."
Kibo smiled at his father while he left, all while frowning on the inside.
"My Grandfather would have killed by you if not for my birth." Kibo kept these thoughts to himself. He didn't want to admit it, but his father was the main antagonist for the Village hidden amongst the Stars Filler-Saga.
"Right now, he is still my Father, and he hasn't done anything bad yet. Reflecting on my situation in this life, if not for me being born, Aka Hoshi would have lost his wife and child. So, it was no wonder he became such a cruel person. I won't hate him for something he hasn't done. After all, he is my father now." Kibo monologed as he turned back to his desk and began to look over the technique.
After 10 arduous hours without rest, he had finally discovered the crux of the problem.
Thanks to his understanding of his own physique and his Star God's Cultivation Technique; which was a far more advanced, and complex technique compared to the Peacock Technique; altering and improving this technique was a simple matter for him. Kibo even borrowed some direct passages from the Star God's Chakra Cultivation Technique and merged it together with the Mysterious Peacock Technique.
"So because of the pathways they send the Star Essence through is of poor understanding, it ends up clashing with the practitioner's Internal Chakra, damaging the internal organs and rotting them from the inside out. If they cycled the energy repeatedly like these channels and in this pattern before they merge it into their Chakra pool, then the radiation would no longer harm their bodies. In fact, it can fill their Dantian with an entirely new Chakra Pool, improving their health and giving them a somewhat quasi sage body. As a bonus, it should make them perfectly suitable for absorbing the Stars' Natural Energy, and improve the odds of achieving Sage Forms."
"Congratulations to host for creating an S ranked Cultivation Technique. Please name it." The System rang out.
"It's an S Rank Technique?!" Kibo shouted, almost alerting his parents.
"Yes, the technique was first created by the first Hoshikage," The System answered.
Although he was rather unknown, according to the records Kibo read through, his ancestor could even give Madara a run for his money.
"How else could one boast enough power to start a hidden village on his own? The first Hoshikage left something of great importance," Kibo thought.
"Although the technique was heavily damaged it could still allow talented Ninja to have Bijuu levels of Chakra. That, in it of itself, made the skill an A-Rank level Technique. You've corrected the problems and even managed to improve the technique's effectiveness by twice its original amount; thus making it an S Ranked Cultivation Technique." The System finished its explanation.
Kibo thought long and hard before he said, "The name will be Great Starheart Technique."
"Congratulations to host for completing the quest! Since The Great Starheart Technique is an S ranked ability the Host is awarded an additional 1,000 Sys Points and the Shop has been opened."
Being elated for the bonus points, Kibo now had 1,100 Sys Pts.
He scanned over the menu when he asked, "What else can I use the System Points for?"
"The host can use it to increase my storage space or your skill points for job-related skills, such as blacksmithing, medicine, stealth, etc, etc."
"What like a gamer in an RPG?" Kibo blurted out.
"Similar, yes. The Host has to unlock skills before he can use points though."
"How do I unlock them?" Kibo questioned with eagerness in his tone.
"Host can achieve this by gaining the basic understanding and proficiency with the skills. The more the Host learns the more skills will be created."
"This system is still a Cheat, yet at least it's somewhat balanced. I think this life is gonna be a lot of fun." Kibo smiled as he thought to himself.
He then got up from his desk and headed to his father's study. When he was near the door, Young Kibo heard his Grandparent and his Father arguing.
"No father, I'm not appealing to lift the ban completely. I just want to see if there are any negative effects on his body. If the slightest thing goes wrong I'll pull him out immediately." Aka shouted in frustration.
"This is your own son, have you no heart! His body is far too young to go near that damned stone, and you've been using it for too long a time! Look what it's done to you! Did you know this place used to be without the miasma that surrounds it? And now, because of overexposure to the toxic star radiation, the plants and animals are dying? Food and water are becoming scarcer by the day, children are dying from starvation!" The Hoshikage Fumed as he stood up and slammed his hands on his desk.
"That thing is cursed! We should have taken up the offer of Konohagakure's Yondaime to seal that infernal thing!"
"Please father just let him see it!" Aka Hoshi pleaded.
Interrupting the conversation the Hoshikage placed his hand up, "Hold on. Kibo, how long are you going to eavesdrop?"
Aka Hoshi turned red, his son had just heard everything he said, and it filled him with embarrassment and remorse.
Knowing he'd been caught, Kibo opened the door, carrying in two scrolls in his hand.
When the Hoshikage saw one of the scrolls, he blew up in his son-in-law's face, "You gave him that technique already? Are you trying to kill my Grandson?"
The Hoshikage was seconds away from choking the life out of Aka, when Kibo spoke out in his defense, "Grandfather, please calm down. I haven't used the Mysterious Peacock technique. It's damaged goods, after all. Here I fixed the problems!" Kibo declared as he held out the old and new scrolls.
"With this new Starheart Technique, the radiation from the Star Essence shouldn't be a problem anymore."
His Grandfather shook his head and sighed before calming down and saying, "Alright let me look at this Starheart Technique and grade it for you."
His grandpa chuckled, thinking that Kibo's new technique would be like how a parent views a child's drawing. He took back the two scrolls and gave a soft chuckle.
When he opened the Kibo's scroll and read a few lines, his facial expression quickly began to change to one of surprise. He sat down crossed legged and began circulating his Chakra according to his Grandson's methods.
As he followed the instructions, his complexion began to change for the better. After an hour of waiting, Kibo finally saw the reaction he was expecting, his grandfather began to cough.
A worried expression came across Aka Hoshi's face as he watched the Hoshikage's face become increasingly pale. Seconds later, Kibo's Grandfather spat out a dark glob of blood.
The bile excreted from inside the Hoshikage was almost entirely black in color, and it let off a foul odor, like rotting flesh.
Kibo's grandfather's stature suddenly improved as he looked to his grandson in amazement and asked, "How did you make this?"
"Mom says I'm blessed! I never forget what I learn, or see. Once she taught me to read, I went through our Clan's library and spent the last year reading all 10,000 of the books on Chakra training methods. I know where every Chakra point is and what its function is for; after looking at the technique dad gave me I realized it was good but full of imperfections. Mainly involving the incorrect Chakra passages being stressed and overused. The original technique was fine up until the Star Chakra tries to merge with our own. I had to resend the energy into a constant cycle and then little by little change our natural Chakra's base into a single pure type of Chakra. Once this happens, a new pool of Chakra will replace and form inside our Dantian, instead of the two different Chakras that are always clashing with each other. The reformed Dantian will act as our new Star Chakra Pool, and become our base Chakra type."
His father and grandfather stood speechless, when Aka Hoshi finally read The Great Starheart Technique he shouted, "My son's a genius!"
"What was it that was so dangerous I can't see till I'm older?" Kibo asked, knowing it was the meteorite that fell to earth so long ago.
His grandfather smiled, and responded as he gently patted Kibo's head, "When you turn four, I will allow you to see our clan's treasure."
Aka Hoshi went wide-eyed as he shouted, "Father! Then you agree?"
"Yes. I will agree to your terms. With this new technique, the radiation from the object will no longer be a problem. However, according to the Great Starheart methods, it takes a while to completely change the Chakra Type. Not to mention, the higher levels of Chakra, the longer it will take to convert. If he practices for at least 2 years in this technique, I'll allow him to inspect it."
"Thank you! Thank you, father-in-law!" Aka Hoshi bowed when he turned to Kibo and said, "So Kibo do you mind if I spread this technique to our clansmen?"
Kibo nodded before saying, "Yes, it shall be our clan's property from now on. Any of those from the main or branch family should be allowed to use it as well. I don't want anyone else suffering from that rotten Jutsu anymore."
The two Shinobi were proud to hear that their scion was such a gentle-hearted boy.
Kibo then began to grow curious as he quietly asked, "Hey, Grandpa, I was wondering how would you rate my technique?"
Aka Hoshi looked to him in anticipation before hearing his father in law's opinion "If I had to say S rank; border lining on Sage Art Level."
Aka Hoshi's hand nearly dropped the scroll, his hands then began to shake as if he were afraid of putting too much pressure on it.
"My son is an absolute genius!" Aka Hoshi shouted, alerting everyone inside the household.
