2 Chapter 1
Sitting in this void was… uncomfortable, my body or at least soul felt as if pins and needles were constantly pricking every inch of my… soul body? Yeah, let's call it that. I'm pretty sure I died, either that or I'm having one hell of a lucid dream, or nightmare?
The pain, However, left as soon as it came and before I knew it, I found myself sitting in a rather comfortable office chair although the surroundings were pitch black. I could still see the chair I sat on as well as the floating screen that had appeared before me. Modeled standardly as if I was in some sort of PowerPoint presentation.
*Welcome to the reincarnation Center*
*Next*
So dead it is… it felt real, too real to be true. Reincarnation that is. The entire thought of it has always proved to be folly. No man or woman on earth truly believed such a thing other than Buddhist believers and perhaps Avid book readers who have indulged themselves in the idea of a fantasy world. Not that it's wrong, it's okay to believe in what you want even as unnatural as it may seem.
But why ME, I've never done something worthy of reincarnation. I've spent the first 15 years of my life indulging myself in the pleasure of childhood and immaturity. I've done what some will call foolish. Not only that but another 10 years of being emotionally detached to the world as reality hit hard and began to sink in. And deep it did, I've been to prison three times and have had multiple affairs on my wife. Drunken, emotionless ones at that but still affairs in the end. How I even managed to pull a wife was a wonder on its own.
I looked down upon my body, the currently translucent outlines of shape that formed what I presumed to be my soul and reached my see-through arm forward and pressed my finger on the Button presented to me.
*REJOICE or you out of 45.23 billion souls, you have been selected from the lottery! *
I wasn't given any time to think before a wheel Appeared before my face Showing me a large variety of familiar and unfamiliar terms.

When said words had come up, I had become stunned. Many that were on the list were familiar such as ATLA, a childhood favorite of mine and Pokémon. While many others on the list seemed blurry and un-recognizable. Most likely due to me not having any clue what they were in my last life. Feeling lucky i decided to spin the wheel

*Participant has only 60 minutes to decide. *
'Naruto world, eh? This was… cliche to say the least' pulling back from my muse, I began to seriously consider the options. At first glance I wanted to completely reject the idea of being either Hinata or Sakura, due to their gender being different from my previous life's experience. But that would just be biased. And that was something I couldn't afford in my situation.
Each character summary had a picture of them seemingly in their academy ages, maybe a year or a few months from canon giving me the chance to think of what I could do.
So, let's begin with the first on the list Naruto Uzumaki, as the main character he was subjected to a severe amount of plot Armour, like to no end. Like near death experience or the moment, he should have died he came out unscathed even before he was overpowered.
But that was then this is now, how could I know whether the plot Armour would even be there for me if I entered his body.
Another pressing matter is his status as a Jinchuriki. I don't think I would be able to bear the weight of every single person in the village I live in hating me. Not only that but being hunted down by multiple people far stronger than me point-blank is not going to happen.
He may have a great increase in chakra as well as the Uzumaki bloodline My chakra control however would be a hassle to go through. I would also have Danzo eying me. Probably wanting to make me a weapon at any sign of intelligence.
Next was Sasuke Uchiha, now he brought more Benefits, but his Problems were far worse than Naruto's, first he would have Not only Danzo, but he would also have Orochimaru problem Breathing down his neck and far sooner than Naruto's Akatsuki Problem.
And then comes the Uchiha's Curse of Hatred. I'm assuming it was some sort of enhanced mental change caused by grief.
I can't even remember much about it other than the fact it can cause a bright and fully functioning boy to become the world's enemy in no more than 20 years at most. And I don't really like the idea of my personality being changed over an ordeal every man and woman needs to go through in the Shinobi world.
So, although the Sharingan's ability to copy movements and memorize almost everything was tempting, I couldn't afford the possibility of a mental breakdown and the many therapists I'd be hiring if so.
The least troubling Character Hinata Hyūga was by far the most tempting. Besides the downside of the ever-brewing Internal Conflict within the Hyūga Clan that would get resolved after Naruto Beat some sense within Neji and Hiashi decides to man up and take matters into his own hands. Not only would I have a decent build with health and chakra, but I would also Have good chakra control thanks to the Hyūga Bloodline.
Which was a good thing, considering the extra bonus of having the Byakugan and Possibly tenseigan as the original Hinata did. I could confidently say this was a huge plus. Albeit a shit dad, Hiashi always worked his way around the Caged bird seal when it came to his daughters. The fact that Hinata actually had a family background to keep her safe from Danzo was also a plus in my eyes.
Now the biggest con would be Kumo, as far as i know Hinata has a moment when Kumo tries to steal and almost succeeds in stealing her eyes during the Chunin Exam.
That and the fact that Hinata is a girl, and it would take an indefinite amount of time to adjust to the sex change if he chose her yet other than that she is definitely a perfect candidate.
The last option was a little depression, Sakura Haruno. The least qualified to be a shinobi in the selection. The only reason she survived through the series was because she was a fan favorite, in fact during the chunin exams she was supposed to die.
But because of her fans she was kept in the series and given some cheats as well, but I Just hated her for that reason in particular. She was Useless to put it simply. Now that doesn't mean she does not have any potential, it just means she's a wild card. You would never know if it would benefit you or not until you use it.
Her chakra and health were disappointing despite her chakra control being good and she was civilian, right down Danzo's Alley. All it takes is one Genjutsu and a few assassinations and I'm dead, nothing but a puppet at any sight of genius I show. And that was not the route I wanted to take at all.

*Has the Participant chosen? *
"Yes, Hinata Hyūga" She was the most reasonable choice so far. She had good stats, a family to back her up, and the Byakugan. I just hope that my decision was right… typing in those words, I felt my soul body slump as I lost consciousness.
…

'Is that incense?' I thought, sitting up while holding my head. I raised my groggy eyes to meet my surroundings. The room was Ancient, Japanese-wise anyways. Tatami mats and sliding doors marked my surroundings. A small coffee table sat beside the futon I currently sleep in with small pillows that replaced the chairs surrounding it.
After getting used to my surroundings, a burst of memories appeared inside my head causing me to frown in discomfort. These were Hinata's memories and her emotions. Even though it was only eleven-twelve years of memories I could easily feel their weight.
My personality was shifting to fit hers and I don't like that. There was nothing wrong with Hinata's kind characteristic. But I couldn't afford to inherit her timidity from her memories.
*From thinking logically, you have gained 1 WIS*
Bang*
Jumping back at the sudden notification, my head slammed hard into the wall behind me causing me to gasp in awe.
'This was going to get some getting used to…' I thought, "Status" my lips parted as I gazed into my status screen.

So, this was The Gamer ability huh? I don't have much knowledge over how this will work, but I'm sure most of my stats will come from either Missions, leveling up and meeting certain Physical and mental conditions as I just have. I should be able to up my Int and Wis rather quickly because my mind has not changed but my Physical Stats will take some work.
*For thinking Logically, you have Gained 1+ Int*
'I don't have much time to continue thinking over this, judging by the time I've woken up it is at least an hour before the academy starts and I should be dressed by now' Scanning through my memories as Hinata, I felt pity for the girl. No wonder she never became the Top scorer even as the most focused kunoichi in the school. If I had a father like hers in my past life, I possibly would have quit the first day.
That brought up a major problem though, Hiashi, would he be able to recognize the changes in my attitude? Will I even be able to hold my act in front of this man? The answer is probably no if I had to guess. Hiashi Hyūga was a trained shinobi who's lived in this world of Deceit far longer than I have. Mere modern acting skills will not be able to compete with his deduction skills.
"Haa~" Glancing at my currently white hakama used for pajamas I sighed. This female body was going to take some getting used to… luckily, I have Hinata's memories which have helped me adapt quicker, but I still felt guilty in a way.
If I think about it, I didn't just possess Hinata, I am Hinata. It seems this reincarnation system merged my soul with hers. Causing me to have her memories which I am rather thankful for. Now I won't have the guilt of a twelve-year Olds life on my hands anymore.
Searching the closet for Hinata's Iconic baggy jacket, I skimmed through her memories looking for a clue to how close I am to the plot. And it seems I still have time to become part of team seven. With three months before Graduation, I had enough time to get my grades up to standard as well as perfect my Taijutsu skills.
I knew it would be far more peaceful if I went Hinata's original route, but I don't think I can afford running straight through the unknown. I honestly don't remember much about any of the mission's Hinata went over other than the Guren moment. I do know that she had a few minor missions with Naruto before Shippuden but not much after that. It's better to be prepared than to be unaware.
It was a risk, a huge risk, but one I am confident to take, I have three months to bring myself to an apt position against Orochimaru and many more people which w–
Knock*
Knock*
A knock on the door broke me out of my thoughts.
"Hinata-Sama, Hiashi-Sama is awaiting you in the dining room" Oh Crap! I was too busy thinking about the possible future I forgot about the pressing matters of the present.
"A-Ano I'll be right there!" My voice came out on its own as I rushed to put my socks on. Opening the door, what greeted me was the face of Ko Hyūga. Who had his usual smiling face on as he greeted me?
"No worries, Hiashi-Sama said to take your time." That wasn't good, he never said that unless he was Angry.
"Hmm?" On my way to the dining room a quest module appeared.

'A quest?' After arriving at my destination, I quietly sat down in my place across from my new father and sister. Next to Neji and his eyes full of hate and disgust.
"F-Forgive me for being a late Otou-San '' What is up with this stutter? Is it a status effect? Or perhaps Hinata's body preconditioned itself in her father's presence? This was weird too weird.
Whatever it was, I did not like the feeling, this whole ordeal was most likely the game menu's fault, after all it does mention something about my condition in task 3.
"I expect the results of today's test to go well" Glancing up at Hiashi in surprise I remembered that today was the monthly test, which includes Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and a paper test.
"I Won't disappoint" as far as I know Hinata could probably beat everyone in her class even Sasuke with her Taijutsu she was always just too kind to hurt anyone, so I should be able to ace Taijutsu. And I have no problems with Ninjutsu, the only thing I worry about is any sort of math subject. In my previous life I failed every class.
"Do not make the Hyūga clan look bad once again Hinata, do i make this clear" Hiashi's eyes narrowed as he glared down at his chopsticks.
Nodding in response I received the bento Ko had just given me and Hanabi, it was the usual rice and BBQ Chicken based on my diet the clan set up for me. Hanabi had more food than me though due to the elders favoring her.
Backing out of the room I ignored the look on Neji's face, in fact I was surprised he hasn't said anything so far. In my memories he usually said something, but that usually ended up in Hiashi Using the Caged bird seal on him and I couldn't imagine that feeling any good.
I have a long day ahead of me, and although it was exciting, I couldn't help but get the feeling it would be more troublesome to interact with rookie nine than I believed at first. Though I hope any interaction with Naruto won't cause any of Hinata's Hidden emotions to come up.
