Please read the synopsis auxiliary chapter :)
-------
As I was walking home, I see a bright light and hear honking. Then nothing. In an empty space with nothing but blackness a screen pops up in front of me.
[Hello. You have died and have been given the chance to reincarnate into the world of Naruto. You will be given a system with one skill and be born as a baby but will unlock your memories and what not when you're 6. The system features are: Status, Inventory, and Skills.]
[Would you like to reincarnate]
[Yes] [No]
'I died huh. At least I didn't feel any pain. I hope my family will be okay.'
[Your family mourned your loss, but are doing fine now and are living well.]
'That's good.' I think and click [Yes]. Then the screen flashes [Good Luck Randy] and then I'm gone. When I wake up again, I'm staring at the roof laying in my bed. Feeling a bit disoriented from getting an influx of memories I take a second to gain my footing. I'm in the end of the nine tails attack on Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village) and my parents have already fallen in battle. Feeling sad I take a second to mourn my parents.
After mourning I think 'By the time I graduate, if I don't graduate early, Naruto will be entering the academy. I'll be 24 by the time canon starts. Should be enough time to be at least jonin level no matter the system and skill I get unless it's really bad. On that note let's see what they are. Status.'
[Name- Ryohei Shin (first then last)
Age- 6
Chakra affinities- Fire
Kekkei Genkai- None]
'Pretty baren. I wonder if new things will get added to it or not. Next Skills.'
[Absorption- Allows you to absorb things. Example you can absorb a chunin and gain their jutsu, chakra amount, chakra affinities, kekkei genkai, etc.]
I'm stunned. That's just too good. I hit the jackpot for skills. Lastly, I look in the Inventory and see nothing, but thankfully it seems to have infinite storage space. With everything dealt with I think of a plan. With the Nine tails attack coming to an end, I could try to grab Kushina and Minatos body, but there should be a barrier around them and the Third Hokage will definitely have his ANBU around so even if I could get there, I wouldn't be able to swipe them. I could give it a try though. With the attack ending he shouldn't be too suspicious of me wandering around.
With my mind made up I head to where I saw the Nine Tails. Going that way, I'm shocked with the dead bodies, the overwhelming smell of blood and death, and feel sick to my stomach. Dropping to my knees I throw up, a lot. Coming to my senses, I persevere heading to where Minato and Kushina are. I think to myself if snagging some bodies is too much with it being done so soon. Coming to the realization that this is a dog-eat-dog world where if I don't get stronger and take advantage of the situation now then I will end up dying by the 4th ninja war. I steel my resolve and only take 5 corpses that are the most intact around me. I don't take more out of respect for their sacrifice. Hypocritical yeah but the 5 I took could only be called unlucky. Continuing onwards I finally make it to where the fight was.
All around are ANBU looking for Obito and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is carrying the newborn Naruto towards the village. Hiruzen spotting me looks confused probably wondering why I'm here. Now realizing this was a bad idea as this Hiruzen isn't the one from canon and hasn't softened yet.
"What are you doing here"
"I'm lost. Looking for my parents."
He gives me a skeptical glare. Sensing me and realizing I don't have much chakra he eases up a bit and says "They aren't around here. Let's go back to the village." He escorts me back to the village and assigns an ANBU to escort me home. After, getting back home I go straight to sleep not absorbing the bodies in case ANBU are watching me. The following days were the same. I absorbed the bodies a couple of days after the attack. Of the 5 bodies, 4 were chunin and one special jonin. Thinking of my status I call it up to see if anything was added.
[Name- Ryohei Shin (first then last)
Age- 6
Chakra affinities- Fire(x2), Water(x2), Earth, Lightning
Kekkei Genkai- None]
Seeing I gained more affinities and none of the jutsu showed up I called up the Skills.
[Taijutsu- jonin level
Ninjutsu- B rank Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, C rank Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique, Clone technique, Body Replacement Technique, Transformation Technique, etc]
'I could graduate early. Would be best honestly considering I need dead bodies to grow stronger.' Making up my mind I decide to graduate early when the academy starts again.
Well what do you think? With being a new athour im not that great at portrying the charaters he talks to so just htink it as au and they are a little different.
Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know.
