The battlefield was a chaotic symphony of clashing swords and explosive magic. Austin, the enigmatic leader of Vagabond, stood at the center, his blade gleaming with an otherworldly light. His comrades, the Swords, fought valiantly around him, their combined strength a testament to their unbreakable bond. But even their formidable power was not enough to withstand the overwhelming force of their enemies.
As the final blow struck, Austin felt a strange sensation wash over him. His vision blurred, and the sounds of battle faded into silence. He closed his eyes, accepting his fate with a sense of peace. Little did he know, this was not the end, but a new beginning.
Austin awoke to the sound of rustling leaves and the gentle chirping of birds. He opened his eyes to find himself lying in a dense forest, the sunlight filtering through the canopy above. Confusion washed over him as he tried to make sense of his surroundings. This was not the battlefield he had fallen on, nor was it any place he recognized.
As he sat up, he noticed a strange mark on his hand—a symbol of a crossed sword and a wandering star, the insignia of Vagabond. Memories of his past life flooded back, and with them, a sense of purpose. He had been given a second chance, a new life in an unfamiliar world.
[The Anime Summoning System]
A soft chime echoed in his mind, followed by a voice that seemed to come from nowhere.
[Welcome, Austin, to the world of Naruto. You have been granted the Anime Summoning System. Use it wisely to summon allies and gain new abilities. Note that each summon requires you to meet specific conditions.]
Austin's eyes widened in surprise. The Anime Summoning System? He had heard of such things in stories, but to experience it firsthand was beyond his wildest dreams. A translucent screen appeared before him, displaying various options and information.

Curiosity piqued, Austin selected the [Summon] option. A list of familiar names appeared, each one a powerful ally from his past life.

[Licht Bach]
[Alucard]
[Ulquiorra Cifer]
[Gilgamesh]
[Kuzan]
[Zeref Dragneel]

A sense of relief washed over him. He was not alone in this new world. His comrades, the Swords, could be summoned to aid him once more. But first, he needed to understand his own abilities and the rules of this world.
Austin stood up, feeling the weight of his sword at his side. He began to explore the forest, his senses heightened by the unfamiliar environment. As he walked, he encountered various creatures and plants, each one more exotic than the last. The forest seemed to be bustling with life, and yet, there was an underlying sense of danger.
He came across a small clearing and decided to take a moment to check his [Status].

Satisfied with the information, he closed the screen and continued his exploration. He needed to find a village or some form of civilization to gather more information about this world.
As he ventured deeper into the forest, Austin heard the sound of a struggle. He quickened his pace and soon came upon a group of bandits attacking a young boy. Without hesitation, Austin drew his sword and intervened.
The bandits, taken aback by his sudden appearance, quickly regrouped and attacked. "Interesting... No one has dared to face me this way in centuries, I like this give it your all!" Austin said with unwavering confidence. The bandits; surprised by his unnatural speech hesitated, but the bandit leader said, "Do not falter! Proceed!" Now with renewed confidence the bandits attacked Austin. 'So... Five bandits including the leader, not even a warm-up' Austin inwardly thought. One bandit armed with a kunai rushed Austin, only to get parried and consecutively hit in the stomach and chest, "Kuh! What the hell, I didn't even catch his movement!" The bandits thought then fell unconscious.
The bandit leader surprised said to his subordinates, "Sorround him!" The remaining three bandits sorrunded Austin in a well formated formation. Austin proceeded to say, "Is this a Ninja Formation... interesting very interesting" Austin was curious about all of this, so he let them sorrund him to see what will they do. "Attack!" Yelled the bandit leader, they all attacked him. But Austin did nothing but dodge them, "How!" "So strong!" Where the bandits thoughts.
"Welp, I think it's time to end this little... Facade" with that being said Austin formed his hand in a sword like manner and "Basic Kendo: Ryodan" Austin hand exuded a yellowish tint, then an almost untraceable slash came out and incapacitated the three bandits and the bandit leader. "Seems like I'm much weaker then me in the Divine Realm"
The boy, wide-eyed with fear and awe, looked up at Austin. "Thank you, sir. You saved my life."
Austin cleaned his hand and offered the boy a reassuring smile. "You're safe now. What's your name?"
"I'm Konohamaru," the boy replied, still trembling. "I'm from the Hidden Leaf Village."
Austin's interest was piqued. The Hidden Leaf Village—this was the first clue to understanding the world he had been reborn into. "Can you take me to your village, Konohamaru? I have much to learn about this place."
Konohamaru nodded eagerly. "Of course! Follow me."
As they made their way through the forest, Austin couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. This new world was filled with possibilities, and with the Anime Summoning System at his disposal, he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
