Naruto : Shadow King

Ever felt that the reality in which we live is not real? Like we are living in a Matrix or a Simulation. Like your existence is nothing but a concept and one day the man sitting up there will get bored of you and you will no longer gonna exist. 

I Have!

Becuase right now I feel just like that. 

I jolted up with confusion all over my face, heavy breathing like a mountain was pressing down on me as I gasped for air. 

The light almost blinded me as soon as I opened my eyes, quickly making me cover them with my hands-on instincts.

I slowly tried to keep my breathing under control as I heard many noises around me. Those noises were undoubtedly people, my best guess, children. The only species in the world who can giggle and laugh when someone farts. 

How do I know!

Becuase I have a nose.

It took some time for me to get used to the information overload from my newly found senses before, once again I was bombarded with knowledge which out of nowhere appeared inside my head. 

Those were Memories. Though not mine, it was ... Hmm. 

I was confused even more now.

Ain't those are the characters in one of the anime I watch?

The information overload was too much, making my head hurt and making me dizzy. I just wanted to keep my head down to suffer through this irritating info dump when it comes to the memories in my brain. 

Thankfully, no one was pointing me out on this and maybe I knew the reason. 

Taking a deep breath, I looked up at the person who was doing most of the talking. And immediately recognized him as the person I remembered from the anime. 

This was none other than Iruka from Naruto. 

I look around and notice characters I know from Naruto sitting around the classroom. 

Hinata, Choji, Ino, Kiba, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru and more. 

They all were here. And I...

Well, I was none other than the cousin of the Lazy Genius of Konoha, Shika Nara. 

This particular Character never existed in Naruto or at least never has been mentioned before Boruto. And even in Boruto, the face of the character I bear right now was named Shikaidai, who was none other than Shikamaru's and Temari's son. Almost a carbon copy of Shikamaru. 

But here I am, almost looking similar to Shikamaru to the point that people might even fooled into believing that we are Twins. 

Well, at least blood brothers, not twins but still very similar. And honestly, if the name wasn't different then I might have even considered the original owner of this boy Shikamaru's son who came from the future or something. I remember that that being possible in Boruto.

But that is not the case, not only do I have all the memories of Nara Shika from his childhood in my head, but even others around him acknowledge him as Shikamaru's cousin. 

And the original owner was very similar to Shikamaru, lazy as hell. Which is fine to some degree, that he and I are now me. But...

The only problem is, that I am not a Genius, unlike Shikamaru. He can be lazy because he has his mind, but me? 

Let alone Shikamaru who is considered to be the smartest person in the Entirety of Konoha, I don't even have the basic Nara-level intelligence here, which for others knowledge, is obviously higher than the rest thanks to their naturally higher level of Yin Chakra. 

Why? 

Because I am me... Sigh.

Having no idea why I am here in an anime and inside a Shikamaru 'like' body with memories of the past owner of this body, it was surprising that I wasn't freaking out already. Maybe because I was busy freaking out is why I can't remember who I was previously before coming here. 

It's very strange. Besides having the memories of animes, Movies, Comics and books, even normal things like what is nuclear fusion, something which shouldn't even exist in this world, I can't remember anything else, aka my previous life. Everything else was in there. It's like whoever sent me didn't want me to bring anything from my world, especially my own memories. 

Now not knowing what I was supposed to do, I just decided to keep my head down, pretending to sleep and go through Shika's memories. Good thing I have them. Otherwise, I would have been visiting Yamanaka sooner than I liked.

As soon as the class was over, I bolted out of the class. Well, more like a sneak-out as I didn't want to talk with anyone. Later I realized that I was giving too much credit to Shika's popularity. 

Good in a way. 

As I walk out of the academy. I came to see the world of Ninja which I always wanted to live. At least I can remember that much. 

But that ain't what I should do right now. I needed a plan. How I am supposed to go from here and knowing what going to happen to me in this world. 

Yeah, I need a really fucking good plan.

Just as I was about to keep walking, suddenly I heard a sound. 

A screen appeared in front of me and apparently only I could see it, at least many others around me didn't react. 

I kept on walking, not giving up that something was wrong here. Walking and reading weren't that hard anyway.

Main Mission: Become A Genin.

Reward: World Beginning Pack (S level)

I blink at that. 

'Well that was way too little information than I was honestly expecting but at least now I know that I have one of those systems to survive in this world. 

One minute, become a Genin? Isn't that like tomorrow?

Yeah, the test is tomorrow...

Today is literally the start of the cannon. If I remember correctly than soon Naruto will paint the Hokage monument. 

And that was the day when the exam was supposed to take place. 

Shit...

Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu and Replacement Jutsu. 

How the hell I'm supposed to master all these three in just one night? 

Original Shika learnt this but I haven't... 

Just my luck...
