Chapter 1: Reincarnation

Chapter 1: Reincarnation

[Author Note: This is my first fanfiction. English is not my native language and I'm using google translator, so I'll be happy with comments about grammatical errors]

=====================================================================

[Welcome to 'The Gamer']

[His soul after his death passed into the cycle of reincarnation, to continue, complete all of the following]

[Do you want to proceed?] [ yes ] / [ no ]

=====================================================================

"Which?" at that moment, it was the only thing that managed to come out of my mouth.

When I woke up, those words were floating in front of me amidst the void that surrounded me.

Until I realized I'm probably dead. Oh really? How did this happen? I was 28 years old and a true ninja! Well, technically in the 21st century there wasn't much use for ninjas and it was mostly practiced as a hobby.

But my abilities had over 1000 years of history, so I should have had a much healthier body than a normal person, nothing supernatural, but still, it was something to be proud of.

Well, maybe I had some disease that could have silently killed me, but that's a question I can't find out.

Anyway, I'm glad that my training helped me keep a clear mind in difficult situations, or I can't even imagine how I would be at that time.

'Sigh', with nothing better to do, I decided to focus on the only thing in this endless void, besides myself of course.

I looked at the words in front of me that were on a half-transparent white screen, "really interesting!" I exclaimed while squinting.

"Alright", after a quick reading of what was written in front of me, I took a deep breath before selecting the option to continue.

Soon after, a white screen appears larger than the previous one with several options for customization along with a small description of what I should do.

=====================================================================

[To start with, you must create your character, but be aware, upon your rebirth you will receive a body generated based on your choices during character creation, so make your choices wisely]

[genre]

[Height]

[Hair color]

[skin color]

[Eye color]

…

========================================================== ================

"Muahahahaha, I became a video game character!!"

"cough" "cough",

I grimaced before a chilling fear rippled through my body 'damn it, I'm turning into a little shit that acts like a third-rate villain. As a great ninja I should act like a great villain!'

'Wait! Becoming a villain is also a bad idea, who would want to live in a hole while all the heroes are after you?'

In addition, a hero is not the best of ideas either, after all, living on good deeds is not my thing.

Getting back to the point, my gender is obviously male while my height was about 1.82m before I died, but in this new life I think it's worth increasing a little, let's go with 1.85m.

As for the other options, I'm going to follow a different path to my appearance, first I'm going to replace my black hair with a light blonde, while I change my jet black eyes to a violet on the inside with a transition to a blue one near the edges, already with the skin, a clear tone...

After a long process, I let out a sigh as I looked through all the modifications to my character, 'hell!, I think it took me over 14 hours to make all the modifications, although I can't tell the time, I'm sure it's been a long time'.

Letting out a sigh once more, I look more carefully to see if everything is ok before confirming, 'with this look I'm sure I'll be among the most beautiful people in my new world', a small smile appeared on my face followed by a sign of approval.

"Let's go to the next option!", I yelled before confirming.

=====================================================================

[After character creation you must select the birthplace. First your hidden village and then your clan, which will be limited to the previous choice. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, as well as possible limitations, so choose your birthplace wisely]

[Village Hidden in the Leaf]

[Village Hidden in the Leaf]

[Village Hidden in the Mist]

[Village Hidden in the Stone]

[Village Hidden in the Cloud]

…

=====================================================================

Faced with so many options, I notice that they are all related to Naruto's world and I let out a happy sigh, 'I'm honestly relieved to be born in a known world'. After all, Naruto's story was very popular in my old one, so I'm aware of the possible dangers I should watch out for.

But the surprising thing is the amount of hidden villages available, according to my memories there shouldn't be that many,'hell! Who am I trying to fool? there are more than 50 hidden villages'.

Well, I'll discard most of them anyway, after all I don't have any information on the general situation of the village, so it's better to go safe and choose the Hidden Leaf Village.

Now continuing with the list of clans, I choose to be born in the Yamanaka clan. I opted for this option over clan like Uchiha, Senju or even Uzumaki due to the following factors.

1: The Senju clan had almost no members in the series and it was never explained what happened to them. They were probably killed due to the power they carried or kidnapped by people like Orochimaru and Danzou. As for the Uzumaki, it was confirmed that their village was attacked, with few surviving members.

2: Although the Uchiha clan has many members, this changed after Itachi and Obito killed all the members leaving only Sasuke. So I'd have to be lucky enough to be born before the massacre and have time to get stronger.

And even if I was that lucky, I might not be able to harness the full potential of the sharingan, as unlocking the mangekyou sharingan would make me blind as I used it. It could be fixed by transplanting the mangekyo sharingan from an Uchiha with strong blood ties to the recipient, but again, that takes luck.

3: The Hyuuga clan has many members and the byakugan presents no problems, and can even evolve into the tenseigan given the right conditions. But family is a big problem and I don't intend to spend my whole life serving the main family.

4: Between Yamanaka, Nara, Aburame and Akimichi, I'm biased towards the Yamanaka clan and their mind techniques, there was also the option of civilian and smaller clans, but I didn't even give it a second look.

With a smile on my face, I press on.

[Congratulations on completing all the steps. Now the reincarnation process will begin, please keep your arms and legs all the way and enjoy the journey]

" Hang on!!" I screamed as I closed my eyes due to the sudden flash of light and before I knew it the darkness took over my entire being.
