As I walked through the rain alone, trying to find the meaning of life and asking God to give me a sign, I noticed a little girl looking around happily as her mother was glued to the phone. It was still the red light for the passerby, but the little girl didn't seem to care she started skipping towards the other end of the lane.
*Peeeeep*
My eyes widened in panic as I noticed a car coming with fast speeds. My body reacted on its own accord and I started running towards the girl and pushed her out of the way.
The blinding lights of the car were nearing me at fast speeds. There was no memories flashing before my eyes, but death.. I accepted it and closed my eyes as I waited for impact.
*Peeeee—-*
….
I opened my eyes, confused as to why I was alive. I looked around but I couldn't see anything , or more like everything was white and my body was standing on a white platform.
"So I really died…" I mumbled, smiling wryly.
"That might have been my fault.."
A voice entered my ears and I turned around. An old man entered my sight, covered with a white robe.
"Are you a god?" I asked. As an atheist, I didn't believe that a god existed.
"Hahahah, I am a god indeed." God laughed.
"Why am I here?"
Hell was definitely a possibility right now for me, since I was looking at a being I didn't believe existed.
God waved his hand and spoke with a gentle tone, "Don't worry, you're not going to hell. You see, you died because I made a mistake, and as a fair God, I'm giving you the opportunity to reincarnate. Of course if you want, I can also send you to heaven."
'He can read my mind' My eyes widened in disbelief. Never have I thought it was possible for such a scenario to happen outside of the novels I've read.
"All of my years of living, I've never found the meaning of life. Do you think I can in my next one?" I asked the God infront of me.
"That depends on you, your goals and desires. The meaning of life can change depending on the person." God looked deeply into my eyes.
"Can I go to other worlds?" I definitely didn't want to go back to that boring and meaningless world.
The old man rubbed his goatee in amusement, "Sure, you can also have two wishes."
My heart got excited as it started beating extremely fast.
Without me having to ask, I already knew I couldn't just wish for more wishes or write wishes on a letter and say 'my wish is to have everything on the letter.'
I pondered for a second, "I'll keep my memories right?" I asked.
God nodded, and I went back pondering about my wishes.
"Can I think about them for a few minutes?" I wanted to choose wisely and not choose a shitty wish.
"Don't take too much time. I'm an extremely busy man." God responded.
I sat down on the white platform and made myself comfortable as I searched through my brain, without caring that a god was looking at me.
After a few minutes, I made my mind and stood up.
"What is your first wish?"
I took a deep breath and strengthened my resolve.
"My first wish is the ability to can absorb a person's skills, power and bloodlines.."
God rubbed his goatee as he pondered a bit before speaking, "That can be done, but I'll place some conditions first. Continue on your second wish."
"As for my second wish, I want an advanced mind capable of evolving infinitely as I grow stronger."
For a moment, there was silence before I heard God laughing.
"So you're going to a supernatural world huh? Okay then, What's the world you want to go to." God asked as he stopped laughing.
"The world of Shinobi." I said confidently.
God nodded in acknowledgement, "There are many strong beings there that have the potential to rival me, your wishes are very good for your choice."
I nodded in understanding. In the era of Boruto, it's revealed that there are many Ōtsutsuki roaming in that universe that have reality bending powers.
"You'll be reincarnated in Naruto's era. I hope you find the meaning of life you so crave. Anyways, good luck." God spoke and waved his hand. My eyesight seemed to disappear at that moment and darkness enveloped me.
….
A splitting headache attacked me, forcing me to open my eyes up. I looked around and noticed that I was no longer inside that white room. The headache dissipated and foreign memories made themselves clear.
Kirogami? Uchiha? Enyo…
That's my name in this life. Apparently my father, Uchiha Sakazuki, a nobody judging from my past life memories had an affair with my mother and then left her after people started to suspect them. They were never caught, as I looked nothing like my father. My hair was white with the tinienst tint of sky blue that would be unrecognizable unless you are an inch away, while my eyes were blue my eyes, inheriting them from my mother. Contradictory to the black Uchiha style.
My mother died two weeks ago and I was left alone inside a tiny apartment that was given to me by the village. My mother didn't have much so all she left behind was a bit of money, enough to survive only for about a year and trouble. I say trouble because before she died, she told everyone that I was the child of an Uchiha and had proof of it. I don't understand why she did that, but that's troublesome.
The memories weren't much considering that I'm only eight years old. I began thinking if it was a transmigration, or if it was a body prepared for me and I only regained my past life memories when I reached a certain age. But considering there was no mention of a half bastard in canon, it's probably reincarnation.
Three days later, I'm supposed to enter the academy. However judging by my body's thinness, I was very weak.
[Congratulations on reincarnating successfully. I left a gift for you to make things easier. Good Luck.]
I looked around to see who was talking, but there was no one. I calmed down a bit after looking at the screen that appeared before me.

I looked at the screen in amazement. For the next moments, I experimented with the white screen and found out that it doesn't do anything else. I tried to say every word that came to mind and every function that a system could have in my previous life but nothing worked. It seems it's only a status screen where I can see my strength and ability.
I was a bit disappointed there was no AI, otherwise it could explain the screen way better.
I should get to training as quickly as possible..
….
For three days, I managed to successfully do 7 pushups without a break, which was amazing considering my fickle body. I also ate a lot, not caring about the limited money I have. I could earn money easily with my knowledge so I didn't really care much about that and only cared about getting my body to shape.
I looked at the mirror infront of me and was satisfied with the progress. Although my body still looked fickle, it was starting to regain color due to the nutrients. I would say I'm very cute. My white hair, when combined with dazzling star-like blue eyes made a fatal strike in woman's hearts.
I wore a black shirt with black shorts and I wore a simple necklace that had a moon design. It was my mother's before she died. And me having both memories and having the same thought process, I loved and cherished her, making me wear it.
I picked up a kunai from my drawer and headed out for the academy.
I was interested to see where would I be placed. Whether would I be placed inside the Civilian classes or in the class where the heirs of the ninja clans are going to be, the elite.
I made my way to the ninja academy while humming, ignoring the stares of others. My mother's scandal has been in the mouths of the gossipers, the whole village has heard about it.
I arrived infront of the academy building and sighed, "Here goes nothing."
