I’m Kisuke

In a modest bedroom filled with darkness, a young man lay nestled within the folds of his blankets.

His eyes were fixed intently on the glowing device in his hand, fingers moving across the screen with practiced ease as he played his favorite game, Anime Clash.

The game, a beloved pastime for many, offered players the chance to immerse themselves in the rich multiverse of all anime. From the bustling streets of the Leaf Village, to the chaotic waters of One Piece, every corner of the multiverse was theirs to explore.

And for our protagonist, it was more than just a game—it was an escape, a way to lose himself in a world of adventure and possibility.

Anime Clash was unlike any other mobile game; it granted players the freedom to choose their favorite character from any anime, then select their starting origin, and explore different timelines in various shows. With each decision, the player's journey would unfold in unique and unexpected ways, shaping the course of their destiny.

The man reminisced on his previous choices, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, Kisuke Urahara had been his character of choice, and for good reason. His intriguing powers, coupled with his sharp intellect, made him a captivating character. And of course, one couldn't overlook his cool character design. It had been an easy decision indeed.

As for the timeline/location, he had decided the universe of Naruto, specifically starting before the Uchiha Massacre. It was a time of tragedy, and one of the darker plotlines of Naruto.

After a year of dedicated play, the man had honed Kisuke's abilities to near-perfection, and his character's stats were practically maxed out, allowing him to become a hell of an overpowered character, with various perks.

But as the man was playing the game, a sudden notification popped up.

[If you were given the opportunity to awaken in the universe of 'Naruto', would you accept?]

The man raised an interested brow, before simply pressing yes.

'What's there to lose? Either it's real or fake.' He shrugged, but his eyes widened as he suddenly felt his vision contort.

[Then please enjoy your journey as, Kisuke Urahara, The Intellect.]

Before he could speak, everything went black.

In another part of the cosmos, deep within the Land of Fire, their was the Hidden Leaf Village. It's streets were busy as usual, filled with shinobi and regular folks going about their day.

But their eyes were drawn to the man adorned in a green/black haori, his eyes covered by the shadow of his bucket hat with a cane in hand, as he mysteriously strode forward.

For some, admiration glimmered in their gaze, captivated by the enigmatic presence. Yet, others couldn't suppress the flicker of unease that stirred within them at his sight.

This man was Kisuke Urahara.

Despite being born as an ordinary citizen, his status rose as he showcased his prodigious talents from a young age. Graduating from the ninja academy at just five years old on the first day, he then quickly ascended to become a Jonin by the age of 6 in a single year, earning a reputation as the village's Greatest Genius.

And not just as a fighter but as an innovator too, he has bore creation to varying technologies, most notable being, televisions and cellphones. However that wasn't all he could create, he's also experienced in the making of jutsus and technological ninja tools too.

Now, at sixteen, he was hailed as one of the strongest Leaf Shinobi for his unknown means.

As he basked in his past achievements, Kisuke's figure abruptly halted, his head tilting in confusion when memories of two lives converged and assimilated into one.

'I'm Kisuke?'

It felt natural, as if he had seamlessly slipped into this new identity. His memories of his previous life remained intact, yet now he inhabited the body and mind of Kisuke Urahara.

Memories slowly flooded his mind at a calm pace, allowing him to come to an understanding of his situation.

'To think that notification was serious, I'm actually in the world of Naruto as Kisuke... Isn't this a turn of events?' He chuckled softly.

Surprisingly it all felt normal, as if this was always how it was.

Shrugging his shoulders, a calm smile curled onto his lips, 'Oh well, might as well enjoy it.'

Kisuke then remembered he was currently heading to the Hokage Building, because he was summoned by the 3rd Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Taking a step forward, he vanished under everyones eyes, causing them to be surprised by his speed.

A few moments later, he reappeared in front of the Hokage's Office, without hesitation, entering. 

Inside, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced up from his paperwork as the door to his office swung open, revealing a man in a unique bucket hat.

Kisuke also took note of another figure in the room, wearing an orange/black styled body suit, the women had long purple hair, and bright golden eyes.

His eyes slightly narrowed at the familar face, 'Yoruichi Shihouin...'

Kisuke instantly deduced that this encounter was a result of the game's mechanics.

At the beginning, one had the option to choose a love interest in that world, but their was also a special option depending on each character, and for Kisuke Urahara, you could choose Yoruichi, which is what he did, and this seemed to be the outcome.

He recalled how in this world the Shihouin Clan already existed as part of the Leaf since the beginning, similar to the Uchiha/Senju, and the head of the clan was always the leader of Anbu, Black Ops.

Not to mention, just like in the Bleach Verse, him and her were inseparable friends.

Lost in thought, he was brought back to reality.

"Hey Kisuke, what's on your mind?" Yoruichi's voice cut through his reverie, her raised eyebrow betraying her curiosity at his serious demeanor.

Kisuke responded with a playful smile, forgetting about his previous thoughts as he pulled out a Japanese-styled fan, and covered half of his face, "My, my, your getting far too beautiful Yoruichi! Making even someone like me lost in thought and blushing!" He teased, standing beside her in front of the Hokage's desk as his eyes trailed her body from bottom to top.

At his actions, she sent out a brisk punch toward his face, but Kisuke slightly tilted his head back, and watched as the punch passed by him harmlessly.

With a disappointed shake of his head, he had an amused expression, "Tsk, tsk, violence isn't always the answer."

However, Yoruichi seemed more suspicious than annoyed, her narrowed eyes indicating that she sensed something amiss, 'There's more to this than he's letting on... I'll have to talk to him about it later.'

Hiruzen interrupted their banter with a sigh, "If you two are finished, I have a mission that requires your attention."

At his words, both Yoruichi and Kisuke turned their focus toward the Hokage.

Hiruzen's gaze hardened as he addressed them, his tone grave.

"From now on, both of you will be personally surveilling the Uchiha Clan. Initially, I had only dispatched a few ANBU under Yoruichi's supervision, but some have been apprehended. Additionally, based on our intel, it appears that the Uchiha are planning an attack imminently. You two are the strongest assets the village has, and I trust you implicitly."

Yoruichi and Kisuke exchanged knowing glances, fully understanding the gravity of the situation. They had been aware of the rising tensions surrounding the Uchiha Clan, but until now, they had been ordered to refrain from taking action.

Hiruzen continued, his voice firm, "Your mission is to observe the Uchiha closely. If you detect any signs of hostility or rebellion, you are authorized to intervene and neutralize the threat. Be vigilant of Danzo and his Root operatives as well. Their activities have been increasingly suspicious."

Kisuke tilted his bucket hat, his thoughts shrouded in mystery, while Yoruichi nodded solemnly, her resolve unwavering.

Taking the lead, Kisuke decided to speak up, his voice confident, "Don't worry much sir. We'll do everything in our power to prevent a civil war from erupting."

Hiruzen nodded, a sense of reassurance washing over him.

With a swift movement, both Kisuke and Yoruichi disappeared from the room, leaving behind no trace of their presence.

...

..

Both reappeared atop the Hokage Statues, as Kisuke gazed down upon the village, with Yoruichi next to him.

"You have a plan?" She questioned with crossed arms, seemingly already expecting it.

Kisuke maintained his signature smile as he glanced over his shoulder at her,

"Of course, I always have a plan."

His eyes sparkled with mischief.
