INITITALLIZING....

Ping!!

Welcome to the Game!!

You have experienced selective amnesia. All memories of your previous life have been removed!!

Selective memories retained!!

Motor skills have been retained!!

Please create your character profile!!

Please select your name!!

I couldn't quite comprehend what exactly was happening at the moment. I looked around hoping for a clue to figure out where I am… surrounded by complete darkness, an eternal void, surrounded me from all sides with only a single blue box floating in front of me, a bizarre situation that i still can't comprehend. I could read the language, I could understand it, what it says but I had no memories related to how I might know It.

As I did not see anything around me other than the glimmering bluish window in front of me I read the message it displayed, 'so... I died?' was my conclusion as I could not recall my previous life. Realizing that I could not do anything else than proceed… 'My name is… Echo'. I thought It was fitting as it is (probably) my second chance.

Name: Hibiki (echo in the world's native language)

Please select Gaming World:

Naruto

Everything else was greyed out. There were no other options, and I recalled this name from my memory, it's an anime regarding ninja. I decided to go ahead and selected Naruto.

Please select Origin:

Fire

Water

Wind

Earth

Lightning

From what little memories that surfaced about the anime Naruto I remember that it was mainly based in fire country so I choose fire.

Select Playing Mode:

CANON- Play as a canon character and destroy the expectations of the timeline.

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE – From a list of different alternate universes select one and become the protagonist, save the world, blow up shit, be the God.

I blinked 'is the game advertising the second choice. Well, I already know canon timeline so let's see what see what AU has for me.'

Alternate Universe:

A duo of Tomato's

You are Uzumaki Kushina's twin brother. you were sent with her to Konoha. Forge your own destiny, fight alongside the Yellow Flash!

Uchiha Pride

You are the son of a clan head and the twin brother of Fugaku Uchiha, you can unlock Sharingan with all the resources available to you.

The mistake with potential

You are the illegitimate son of the fourth Hokage (your mother is of the Uchiha clan). You were born a day before Naruto and were hidden in the orphanage by the third Hokage when your mother died during the Kyuubi attack.

Identity crisis

You are a twin of any character of Konoha 12 (except sasuske).

'WOW!... that is a quite a variety of options and all look very interesting… maybe I'll be able to play all of them at a later date but, what to play first?'. The first two options are out because I don't want to go through the 3rd shinobi war without much information.

The illegitimate son of the fourth Hokage sounds cool because as I would be a normal orphan I will have the freedom to grind my skills, also having a Kekkei Genkai to fall back upon is basically a must in this world. So yeah, I chose the third option because it comes with the fucking Sharingan now who doesn't want that cheat code…

From which year would you like to control your character?

From Birth

1ST Birthday

2ND Birthday

3RD Birthday

4TH Birthday

5TH Birthday

6TH Birthday

7TH Birthday

8TH Birthday [ENTER ACADEMY]

'I guess I can thank the game to its versatility for giving so many options. I don't want to go through toddler day's because I might not come out with my sanity intact, and looking at the events from the anime if they resemble even a little bit by the canon story line then I need to be at least low-jounin level by the start of the Chunin exams'. So, I chose 4th birthday as it seemed like an appropriate time to start training and I should have the basic reserves to at least work upon something. Plus, Kakashi and Itachi were practically legends by the time they were 12 which is most likely the time I graduate.

What do you want your personality to have been like for the first 4 years?

Quiet and Curious (Gain skill Sneak, Level 5)

OR

Loud and Inspiring (Have +10 Charisma)

I blinked 'That's a lot to take in, 4 years' worth of memories accumulate in my head…okkkkay some of it is quite disturbing, particularly remembering the feeling of soiling yourself. Moving swiftly along my stats are quite impressive in some areas, even though I don't know much of a clue what they represent but I guess the higher the no the better it is right?' I chuckle weakly to myself. I am in a room …quite poor looking white wallpaper Japanese style doors, low rooftops, 5 old beds and according to my memories, it belongs to me and four other kids that are probably not worth mentioning.

'Now that I think about it this personality is a godsend because I really do not want Danzo and his private army to start investigating me because of a sudden change in personality.' I look around to find I was alone at the moment. The room was quite messy with different things lying all across the room the window that has all my details is glowing in front of me… after reading all the all of it again I realized that I need more information on the gaming system when suddenly…

PING!!

QUEST ALERT

Complete the Tutorial:

As you do not have complete knowledge of the system that possibly controls your life don't you think you should try to learn about it? What more do you want, the system to babysit you, to give you rewards to help your survival? Now say 'tutorial', you moron...

REWARDS- 50 EXP, Konoha symbol black tee, first skill.

My eyes twitched at that "right exactly what I wanted, a sarcastic gaming system" I mumbled to myself.

First things first, I need that sneak skill to escape matrons so I can get some training in, I selected QUITE AND CURIOUS. Now for that quest…

'Tutorial' I thought when a screen appeared in front of me

PING!!

The gamer ability allows you to do anything that you could do in an actual game. Every time you level up, you gain STAT points. You can spend these points to improve your stats.

Every 10 levels, the number of points gained increases by 1, for example; You start off with 4 every time you level up and it will increase to 5 when you are level 10. There are 7 stats, Strength (STR), Vitality (VIT), Dexterity (DEX), Intelligence (INT), Wisdom (WIS), Charisma (CHA) and Luck (LUK).

STR is your natural strength. It helps you lift and wield objects, and it gives an increase in physical attacks.

VIT increases your HP and CP. It also makes your body more fit and strong.

DEX is your general speed in everything. It also increases the rate at which your techniques level up.

INT helps you memorize things faster. As Chakra is made up of physical and spiritual energy, the more the intelligence you have the more the chakra.

WIS helps you understand concepts faster and you can use information quickly. You can also learn techniques quicker.

CHA is your charisma. It increases the chance of people listening to you and taking your advice.

LUK is your natural luck. It helps the increase the chances of getting critical hits or lucky loot.

HP (health points) =STR*VIT*5

CP (chakra points) =VIT*INT*5

Control (chakra control) = 10 + WIS/20 + control gained by skills.

Say "Status" to see your stats. You can also say "Observe" to see the stats of something or someone else. The more you level it up, the more information you get by observing someone you can also open the skill set menu by saying "Skills".

QUESTS

Quests, sometimes called missions, are tasks given to players by others or appear spontaneously. Completing a quest or mission will result in rewards such as experience points, items, and money. Most quests can be accepted or declined while others are mandatory and must be complete in order to proceed.

Sometimes a side quest will be giving alongside the main one, these are purely optional but completing them gives a boost of rewards. Some quests will allow you an unlimited amount of time to complete it while others need to be completed before a specific time and/or day or risk quest failure. A variation of a side quest known as hidden objectives will sometimes be posted, what these objectives are you needed to figure out on your own. Completion of quests also boosts one's reputation with the affiliated village, person or faction by a certain amount though sometimes it can decrease the reputation of something else such as an enemy village. Depending on the quest failure to complete it can result in penalties such as no rewards, negative reputation gain, lower experience points gained the crippling injury status or even death.

INVENTORY BOX

The inventory box, a personal space-time technique, is where the items you are currently holding go to when in use. This allows you to store a near infinite amount of items without having to carry them on your person and hamper your movement with the excess weight. To place an item inside just press it on the screen and vice versa when you want to pull it out.

ITEM QUALITY;

Simply put, item quality is a relative indicator of how good an item is compared to another. The quality indicator is most often seen with a rank beside the name of the item. There are five types of item qualities in the world.

Common Quality

These are common items of decent quality that many use every day. Most items that fit into this category are basic kunai, shuriken, and some other forms of weaponry and armor.

Uncommon Quality

These are the uncommon items, not everyone has them but have frequent enough usage. Most items that fit into this category are sealing scrolls, weaponry, and items that can be used for making other things such as clothing, medicine or weapons.

Rare Quality

These are the rare uncommon items. Items of this quality are either difficult or somewhat expensive to come by. Most usually grant a unique ability or a great stat booster for the user. Are made from materials that are difficult to acquire or buy, or require a great level of skill to create.

Epic Quality

These items are considered one of the rarest of the rare. Items of this quality are extremely difficult to come by and create; sometimes they can be considered one of a kind and irreplaceable. Items that can be considered a part of this category are some of the swords of the Seven Swordsmen or scrolls that contain dangerous or powerful A-S rank jutsu from any style.

Legendary Quality

These unique items are considered legendary in terms of power and one of a kind ability they possess or are capable of granting individuals or other items, many of these being one of a kind. Chances of coming across items of this quality are one million to one only those with incredible levels of luck are said to be able to find these. If you own one, many will call you a lucky bastard. Items that are considered to fall under this category are masterpieces or items used by legendary and ancient craftsmen or figures such as the Rikudo Sannin, Gorō Nyūdō Masamune, Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Minato Namikaze etc. Some of these items possess sentience and will only allow specific individuals to wield or summon them.

After going through all that information my head was spinning, the potential this gaming system along with my bloodline (which I would hopefully activate) in the world of Naruto is immense damn! 'I am going to make Itachi look like my shadow' were my traitorous thoughts at that moment as I accumulated all the info given to me by the system.

PING!!
