Beginning

'I hope this quarantine never ends' - thought Zain Mullins as he woke up at 3 PM. His room was a mess, Plates, and bowls on every open space, the only place without them is the bed and the manga on the dresser. Due to the global pandemic of Covid-19, many countries were on quarantine, causing many normal citizens problems, but Zain was a Neet.

Zain felt like this quarantine was a gift from God to him because now he can just use the excuse of Covid-19 when he wants to sit at home reading manga or watching anime. He had just recently become a Neet, he had just finished high school, and his mom instantly made him move out.

Zain did not care very much for his family. His older brother and Mom were the only people in his family because his Dad was a train inspector, and got in a work accident when Zain was only three. He never really remembered his Dad, apparently, he was basically like a maid around our house, So he just grew up in this mess of a house. His Mom and elder brother knew basically no life skills even though they were both adults.

Zain never found a real passion for life. He had just drifted through school, he never was good at any sports and was only slightly above average academically. From childhood, he was a quiet one. He never cared about socializing. When he was young he did have a few friends, but they were never close. He did not miss anyone because of social-distancing. The only problem for him was that some anime was delayed. All in all, Zain was fine with this quarantine.

He always wanted to go to fantasy worlds of anime, and manga. This life never really meant anything super important to him, but that didn't mean he wanted death. Zain always found death scary. He was an atheist and thought the afterlife was just a black void, except he wasn't just there, he also didn't exist, couldn't think, couldn't do anything, he just couldn't imagine that. He hoped that if he ever died it was painless and that he doesn't notice that he actually died.

He decided to watch some Naruto, he always liked Naruto. When he first saw Maito Guy activate the eighth gate against Madara, he had cried because Guy couldn't learn any ninjutsu but he still almost defeated Madara! Zain went to clips of Sasuke vs Itachi. The only thing he hated about this fight is that Itachi had to die, Itachi was one of Zain's favorite characters.

Then as soon as Kirin came down on Itachi. Zain couldn't move, he just fell off his chair. He tried to go into his pocket to grab his phone, but he couldn't. He was there on the floor. He tried to call for help, but no one came. He wished that he had more friends or at least someone who would come into his house. After a while he couldn't even scream for help, his mouth felt dry, he wanted to drink something… anything.

Zain didn't want to end this way. The only important thing he did was donate most of his money to single mothers because he didn't want anyone else to live like him. He wondered if this life had any purpose. What was the point, he didn't do anything important. Zain saw the room darken slightly and thought that it was night now. His head started to sting. He wanted water, no he needed water. He just wanted to get up and get water off his desk, but he couldn't. He wondered why he couldn't move. He may be eating poorly, but he should still be able to move.

Then his room brightened slightly, 'It must be day now' - Zain thought. He felt this extreme pain, what did he do to deserve this pain. He knew this would be the end of his life. Zain's vision started to turn black, he could see vague surroundings. Then It went completely black.

After an unknown amount of time he started to regain consciousness

'Huh what is happening' - Zain thought.

Everything around him was black, he couldn't see or feel.'

'Am I in a coma? No that isn't possible who would save me from my room. I must be dead' - Zain thought

'Is this the afterlife, do I just sit around waiting for an eternity, is there any way to escape'. - Zain thought

After waiting for what felt like forever.

A ball of light came to him and said - "You shouldn't have died that way."

Zain replied - "what do you mean?"

the ball of light said - "You had gifted money to the poor so you have good karma, and so you should have had a painless death, in return, I will give you the choice of reincarnation or going to Heaven."

"Wait you said reincarnation, do I get to choose the world, also am I still going to be human if I reincarnate." - Zain said

"Yes you will still be human and this is quite a big slip up so you can choose your world." - the ball of light said

"Then I choose to reincarnate into the naruto world, also do I get wishes like in fanfictions." - Zain said

"No, from reincarnation and being in this void long enough you will gain some abilities, well goodbye." - Said the ball of light

Then Zain suddenly felt he was in a different black void

'I must be a fetus right now, I wonder if I can cultivate chakra like in those fanfictions' - Zain thought.

Then he decided that in this world he would get strong so that he could never feel that pain he felt before.

'I wonder how can I think right now if I am a fetus, must be one of those abilities that ball of light talked about.' - Zain thought

Then he tried to do some meditation, he felt some force go through his body 'this must be chakra' - Zain thought, he hoped that this doesn't hurt his mom in some way. Then after a long time of meditating he could move slightly, he knew that this means his birth is soon. Then he could hear some laughter, and talking

'this must be the naruto world language, it seems like Japanese, hopefully, I can learn the language fast.' thought Zain

After a long time, he felt some shaking and rumbling, and then heard some yelling and screaming, the voice of a man who he thought was his dad and an old woman shouting encouragement to his mom. The enveloping membrane around the fetus was broken and he could feel that he was about to be born. He slightly moved his head so that there would be no birth complications. The pressure around him was pushing him out and he went with the flow and then he popped his head out of his mom's womb and into the world of naruto.
