Naruto : Reborn as a Hatake.

"So... I died?" asked the young man to what appeared to be a black screen-like box in front of him. He knew this was no god but something else entirely.

[Yes, from a heart attack after witnessing a bomb blast nearly a mile away from your location.]

The glitching effects faded as words started appearing inside the box. 'This looks like a system box,' he remembered from his previous life. He had read manga and watched anime that featured "Systems."

"So? What now?" he asked in a monotone voice. Because he had no one in his previous life, he couldn't care less that he had died, even though he was a little sad that he couldn't see the end of One Piece.

[Now, I will send you to another reality where you will spend your lifetime before the supreme one gets bored and decides to end the reality.]

Sighing at the grim fate, the young man asked the box, "What type of reality are you sending me to?"

[Universe #746483– Ninja world... No Otsutsuki...confirmed...altering the universe.... Successful.]

"What!? How can I survive in that world? Even if there are no Otsutsuki, assuming that you just erased them, I would still die at the hands of Madara or even Obito easily!"

The young man lost his composure for a second, which was enough for him to panic and start shouting. He was a normal man who worked in a supermarket before he had a heart attack and died.

He had read the manga of Naruto and watched the anime as well, so he was well aware of the dangers of that world. He had also read a ton of fanfiction that depicted the world as some kind of beautiful utopia. But he knew the truth – it was not a utopia at all. The world was riddled with ruthless wars where children and adults alike fought for their lives, and he didn't want to enter such a world without any advantages to ensure his safety.

[You will be allowed to choose three perks of your choice, but be warned that every perk comes with a side effect.]

The young man heaved a sigh, a small relieved smile gracing his face. He could choose some good perks for his life.

"Okay... I am ready."

[Before choosing your perk, the clan you would be born into will be chosen by spinning the lucky wheel.]

Seeing the screen in front of him turning into a spinning wheel with numerous clan names, he watched in astonishment as a red button appeared in his right hand.

On top of the red button, 'SPIN' was written in white letters. He prayed before pressing it, and the wheel in front of him began to spin at high speed.

A 'ding' sound was heard from the button, and the 'SPIN' on top of it became 'STOP.' He closed his eyes and prayed that he would get a good and powerful clan, hoping for the best as he pressed the button.

Looking at the slowly decreasing momentum of the wheel, he waited with anticipation as it slowly stopped at 'HATAKE,' his eyes watering at the sight of where the wheel had stopped.

He had hoped for it to stop at Senju, Uchiha, or Uzumaki. Even Sarutobi would've been better, as he knew they had good chakra pools. But all he knew about the Hatake clan was that they were exceptional at kenjutsu.

[Hatake: Stronger than average constitution, above-average chakra pools, and a higher likelihood of being a natural genius.]

"Whoa! That's good." The young man's eyes gleamed as he nodded in appreciation. He remembered that the Hatake clan had only two confirmed members, and both of them were geniuses.

[Now, onto choosing your desired perks. Once again, be warned that all perks have their own weaknesses.]

"Hit me," he said as he prepared himself to choose the most useful perks. He only had three of them, and he couldn't afford to waste them.

[Demon: You won't feel anything while killing—no pleasure, no pain, and no guilt. It may cause moral problems.]

[Chakra Sense: Passive sensing that cannot be traced back to the user. Maximum range of 50 meters, cannot be increased.]

[Jack of all trades, master of none: Provides you with all five chakra nature affinities. You can train with them, but you cannot fully master any of them.]

[Weaponmaster: Grants exceptional talent in all weapons. Reduces talent in ninjutsu and increases it in Bukijutsu.]

[Balance: Provides the user with exceptional balance, a crucial attribute for any Shinobi.]

[Manipulation: Provides the user with exceptional control over their chakra to the point of not needing hand signs while performing jutsu. May attract the attention of Danzo Shimura.]

[Eidetic Memory: As the name implies, provides the user with eidetic memories. They cannot forget traumatic events.]

[Survivor: Provides the user with low-level regeneration at the cost of chakra expenditure. Cannot heal fatal injuries or organs.]

[Chakra Demon: Provides the user with massive chakra reserves, enough to rival that of the first Hokage at the user's prime. Exceptional control required.]

[Status: A system-like screen that tracks the user's progress and abilities. Have no weakness.]

[Sage Body (Low): A body that naturally absorbs nature energy and transforms it into Senjutsu chakra. It grants extreme passive regeneration, the user will only acquire it at the age of 17.]

[Genjutsu Demon: Grants extreme genjutsu abilities, without the help of Dojutsu, as the user's clan doesn't possess one. Reduces talent in Taijutsu.]

[Luck: Requires the user to spin another wheel with varying luck attributes, ranging from low to extreme, and from good to bad.]

Looking at all the options, he felt his head spin. 'What the heck?' he thought as he gazed at the luck option. It was essentially a second gamble, but this time he had something at stake, even though he didn't know what kind of luck he possessed.

"Is this all the perks? Are there any other options aside from these 'Perks,' like skill options or anything else?"

[Congratulations...You have unlocked a secret option by inquiring about it. Skill slots are the hidden option...]

"Show me the skills that I can choose from..."
