"Hm, where am I?!" said a voice after waking up from a slumber
"Hey, you're up, perfect, let's start the presentation, I'm what you people call God, or Rob, and you are Akashi Shinji." Hearing the voice, Akashi quickly got up to see who was talking to him, but the only thing he saw was a bright orb floating above him
"Huh, yes, I am Akashi, huh God!" Addressing the orb with respect and prudence, Akashi made his brain work at maximum capacity as he observed the situation around him, only to see that everything was pitch black
"Am I…"
"Dead, yes, young man, you are very much dead. This is what I want to talk to you about, your death is unnatural," said the voice coming out of the orb
"Unnatural, you mean…"
"Yes, you shouldn't have died, your death was due to oversight on my part, a dispute with some…" but he stopped before ending the sentence.
"Anyway, I would like to compensate for my oversight," said the god
Immediately, a wheel appears in front of him
He instantly understood what was happening; he had seen that in some novel
'Is what I saw in those novels true?! Who wrote those novels? Were they inspired by a god of something?!"
While he was lost in his mind, the voice resounded again
"No, I just saw it in your head while looking in it, and thought that you would love it with your penchant for anime. Tt seemed fitting," he explains
"Ohh,"
"Turn the wheel, you will be sent into the universe pointed by the arrow," the orb said
"Do I get some gift and perks with that, you know, like a system?" he asked excitedly
"No system, you get to keep your memories. This is good enough as a perk," the god said
"But there are a lot of overcheated characters in anime, they are made by the creator of the anime to be fucking strong, and they are protected by the power of the plot, they have plot armor."
"I-I wouldn't want to die too fast after going into an anime, it would be unfortunate."
Akashi said, trying to appeal to the god sense of duty
"You will have the talent necessary to make your mark in the world; there will be no system and no plot armor, including for you. This might look like an anime, but this is the real world. If you make one mistake, you are dead."
The atmosphere suddenly seemed to turn tense as Akashi realized that the future would not be as rosy as he had thought
Feeling the seriousness in the voice of the god, Akashi turned serious
"I understand!"
In the novel, the protagonist had heavy plot armor guiding the story, but it was no matter where he arrived, it would no longer be just an anime but real life, where every action could cost him his life.
"Good, now turn the wheel,"
After a few steps, he arrived at the massive wheel that bore the name of all the anime he had seen in his life, and with all his strength, he turned it.
He started praying, seeing the wheel turn.
"I expected you to be upset about your death, but you don't seem that bothered."
"Well, I don't have much of a social life, you know. After the bullying that I suffered when I was at the orphanage, I became quite introverted. My life is pretty much centered on studying so that I do not lose my scholarship, part-time job, no parents, no girlfriend, and no real friendship, so," he explains his situation.
"I won't miss it too much, I just hope the next will be better,…" After saying that, he turned the wheel of fate with all his strength
"..."
Silence reigned in the empty space; only the sounds of the will turning could be heard
"Trying to make me feel some kind of sympathy for you, I see, you are ten thousand years too young,"
The sound coming from the orb sounded... amused,
"You are opportunistic and a selfish manipulator. I like that."
As the wheel stopped, the arrow was pointed at Naruto
"Naruto, huh, not a bad choice," Akashi said, looking at the wheels. He liked the anime and the power system, plus he had seen all the episodes, even though it was a long time ago, so he had a good advantage
"Your attempt to manipulate me was entertaining, to reward you, I will send you to someone similar to you, you will get along well," faded slowly as he felt his body and consciousness fade away.
------
Konoha
Uchiha compound
Residence of the third elder
In a massive and luxurious manor, a little red-haired boy abruptly opened his eyes
"Argh, ah... my head, argh." Grabbing his head, Akashi Uzumaki groaned in pain as a massive amount of information flooded his brain all at once
"Damn it"
In a few seconds, his body was covered with sweat due to the pain.
And in another instant, his immature face was filled with protruding veins reminiscent of the Byakugan of the Huyga
"Argh, damn it."
Rolling on the ground, he screamed in pain, unable to contain himself
'What the fuck is that?' he thought
'In the novel I read, the character doesn't feel that level of pain.'
He had not even completely regained his previous memories, but he immediately and unconsciously compared himself to the main character of the anime of his previous world
"Bang"
Akashi, are you alright?"
An old red-haired woman in traditional clothing appeared in the room with a body flicker
"Akashi, what is happening to you?" She asked, lifting him up, only to freeze in astonishment seeing his veins filled face and blood red eye with one tomoe spinning in them,
"What is happening to him? What is happening to my grandson?" A black-haired middle-aged man asked the old woman
"I don't know, maybe it is an aftereffect of... he seemed to have awakened the Sharingan!"
The old woman said, circulating her chakra in Akashi's body,
"It's impossible, he is only four years old," The man shouted
"Shut up, I need calm to examine him,"
"It's cold, cool, it's, it's better!"
The chakra of the woman as it entered his body soothes the pain he was feeling. In a few seconds, the veins maring his face, disappeared at the same time as his sharinagn
After he finally feel asleep once more the man, Tetsuma Uchiha knelt beside him and examined him his eyes while the old woman continue her treatment
"What happened to him? It was like..." he had never met with a situation like that in the past, so it took a few seconds for Tetsuna to find the answer, but he did
"It was like the activation of the curse seal of the Hyuga, but it is impossible; his forehead is clean," he said, looking at his grandson's forehead
"It was not that, it was more like some kind of mind-based attack, or maybe it is a side effect of the awakening of the Sharingan so soon,"
"I'm going to bring the books from the library, stay with him, Mikado san," Tetsuma said before disappearing
After waking up his grandparents, Akashi slept the whole night, while everyone else stayed on high alert
The next day
"Mhm, Ugh, Damnit, my head," Akashi groaned while getting up
"What the hell?"
The first thing he saw was the close-up face of his grandma, who was looking at him unblinkingly
"Are you alright?" She asked in all seriousness
"Huh, yes, Grandma, and grandpa?" he said, somewhat weakly looking at the worried-filled faces of his grandparents.
One of them, his grandma Uzumaki Mikado, looked indeed like a grandma with a wrinkled face and a mix of white and red hair, but his grandfather looked to be in his thirties.
"Yes, yes, I am fine. What are you both doing, looking at me like that? And why are there so many books here? Did someone move the entire library here while I was asleep?" he asked
The question dissipated the worry that the two were feeling. He knew that he was fine and that the event of last night didn't leave any impact on his mind.
What they didn't know was that his entire mind had undergone an entire transformation and that he now had eighteen years of mental energy and knowledge in his mind.
"Oh, oh yes, I remember, I had the strangest dream," he said
"What was that dream? Tell us," Mikado asked
Akashi took a deep breath and a few seconds to put his mind in order
He had just regained his past memories, he was the grandson of the third elder of the Uchiha, and his grandmother was also an elder of the Uzimaki clan before she come her to help raise him after his parents died a year ago.
Yes, Akashi was a big shot
'I need to do something so that the Uzumaki are not destroyed, they are my backers after all, with them behind me, plus the Uchiha, I could walk sideways everywhere in Konoha.
"I dreamt that Uzushiogakure was destroyed!"
"What?"
Mikado and Tetsuna exclaimed at the same time.
"Yes, it felt like I was there living it," he exclaimed
"Ah!" The old woman let out a sigh before comforting him
"Don't worry, it was just a dream, nothing will arrive at Uzushiogakure, and even if something happened, we can defend ourselves, plus we have Konoha as an ally."
She explained to calm him down
Now that they had heard what had caused his problem, they were more relieved
"Yes, but in my dream, Konoha didn't help and let the other nation destroy it... and then they took all the sealing secrets of Uzushio and brought someone named Kushina in the village to host a monster inside her."
"..."
Akashi's words had the effect of a bomb in the room
