Born Again.

Jin was confused at his current predicament. The statue that he just collected had brought him into a space between dimensions to grant him his deepest desires? What nonsense was this? Did he have such a dream because he reads too much manga? These were the thoughts that were going through the head of Jin.

Jin: "Okay statue, send me back. I don't know what kind of illusion technique I was trapped in but when I get out of here I will kill the caster."

Jin was eerily calm as he spoke, his words laced with killing intent and his Chi raging around his body with every breath.

Statue: "Young one, I will tell you once more that I need you to be calm. Trying to attack me will not do anything. I am a concept, made for one sole purpose, and that is to grant your deepest desires after fulfilling a certain condition. So what are they?"

Jin was getting even more skeptical as this being was going on and on about granting wishes. He wasn't sure if it was an attack from the enemy or if luck truly was on his side tonight so he decided to test it.

Jin: "Earlier, you said that to get these wishes, I had to have fulfilled a certain condition. What was the condition?"

Statue: "You're a careful one young man. But the condition was simple, you needed to have the will of a dragon and the heart of a tiger."

Jin: "In simpler terms statue."

Statue: "Im saying that your will needed to be unbreakable and your heart filled with the courage and resolve to carry out whatever you set your mind on, no matter the lengths you had to go to for your task to be completed. That's what the condition was."

Jin didn't need to hear anything else as he knew exactly what the statue was talking about. It was speaking about how he had taken revenge in his past, the sacrifices, and the lengths that he had to go to.

Jin: "Oh, so you know about that secret. Interesting. I think I just thought of a wish."

The statue was surprised as he didn't think Jin would change his mind so fast. This young man in front of him seemed like quite the stubborn and shrewd man.

Statue: "What is your wish, young one?"

Jin: "To kill you."

Statue: "I'm afraid that request is impossible, young one. Choose another wish."

Jin: "Tch. Of course you can't grant me such a simple wish. Whatever, I'll play along. At least if you are indeed an enemy you can have some fun before I kill you."

The statue didn't even bat an eye as Jin was threatening him, but he was interested to hear Jin telling him he finally was going to tell him what his wish was.

After thinking for several seconds, Jin finally came up with an idea of what he wanted.

Jin: "Well, reincarnate me into the World of naruto just like how it's done in those novels. Also, I need a specialized system that allows me to purchase martial arts and items from the manwha Gosu/Yongbi. I don't need any leveling up function or anything like that, I just need a shop function."

Statue: Granted. But you still have a few more questions to answer. What Clan are you going to be born in? How will you look? What era would you be born in?"

Jin was amused at how thorough these questions were but it didn't take long before he came up with solutions to each one.

Jin: "I choose the uch- I mean Hyuga Clan. Their potential is too much to give up. As for my appearance, keep my white hair and give me the look of Okcheonbi, the Grand Prelate of the Asura Blood Sect from Gosu. Put me in the same era as naruto and the main cast, there are multiple people I want to fight in that era."

And with that, Jin was done. He was preparing for the enemy to spring out any time now and tell him this was all a big joke but a tiny part of him did hope that this was real.

Statue: "Granted. Now im obligated to give you two sets of martial arts so that you can train to protect yourself in this world. Although im sure that given your chosen profession, you don't need them. But the rules are the rules, so choose."

Jin: "Tch. I already have the Way of Heaven Style to train with and all those martial arts I hope to pick up in the future and now this? Maybe I need to be immortal in my next life?"

Jin was almost laughing out loud at the fact that he was starting to take this seriously.

Jin: "Alright, give me the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist. Those two and the Way Of Heaven Style would be my go-to beginning fighting styles in that world if I ever went there."

Statue: "Granted. Young one, know that your wishes will cause your current life to be forfeit. Meaning, right now you are already dead."

Jin looked at the statue like he was looking at a fool. He refused to believe that this statue held such powers.

Statue: "I will remove your soul from this world and send it to wherever you're being born in the new world. Young one, safe journey and have a good life."

And with that, the statue disappeared and Jin felt his consciousness fading rapidly with everything turning to black. He didn't even have time to say anything before he dropped down on the floor in a heap.

[A while later]

Jin woke up feeling extremely strange. He felt like he was moving around in some type of water and he felt a cord latched on to his navel area.

Jin: 'I tried talking but I can't even move my mouth! Where am I? Maybe they finally captured me in a test tube?"

These questions were being thrown around in Jin's mind as time went on. Eventually, he figured out exactly what was going on.

Jin: !I'm a baby in a pregnant woman's body right now. I didn't believe what that statue was saying but here I am, being born again!
