Ren Takashi, bearer of the [Wish] Talent in the Spirit-Sealed Blue Star World.
In order to escape that forsaken, lifeless realm and step onto the path of transcendence and immortality, he made wishes persistently—every day, for ten consecutive years—until he finally nudged the fabric of reality itself.
At a specific location, through a rift in space and time, his body and soul were enveloped in the miracle power his decade of wishing had summoned, returning him to his origin and allowing him to leave the Spirit-Sealed Blue Star behind.
He had been reincarnated.
...
Year 28 of the Hidden Leaf calendar. Within the Uchiha clan grounds, inside a room in the patriarch's estate—
"Phew... I didn't expect to be reincarnated—and into the world of Naruto, no less? I'm now Uchiha Fugaku's younger brother? The second son of the clan leader?"
"Sure, it's not the cultivation world I originally wished for, but it's still a supernatural world."
Ren Takashi slowly processed the memories of his previous life that had just resurfaced. Rubbing his aching temples with his right hand, he muttered internally.
It turned out that, just moments ago, he had successfully extracted his first trace of chakra. As a result, it activated the dormant [Wish] talent from his past life, unlocking his former self's spiritual wisdom.
Even more astonishingly, his past soul had perfectly and completely merged with his new one—his mind felt clearer than ever, and both his spiritual power and comprehension had skyrocketed.
His thoughts were sharper, faster, more precise.
In his previous life, Ren had poured countless wishes into improving his innate perception and understanding, all in pursuit of immortality. Those investments had carried over into this life along with his soul.
"Unfortunately, it seems the old Attribute Panel didn't survive the reincarnation. Looks like I'll need to burn some wishes to make a new one."
He tried summoning the panel mentally—but failed. So he spoke to himself inwardly.
The good news was, after sensing his talent's activation, Ren learned that he'd already accumulated 1,827 wish opportunities since the moment he was reborn.
One additional wish per day.
"A nice little bonus."
Feeling a bit excited, Ren Takashi silently recited:
[I wish to obtain a simplified attribute panel—just to display basic stats and proficiency levels.]
The system responded right away: one wish wasn't nearly enough. He would need to spend 99 wishes to acquire such a function.
"Even more expensive than the one I had in my last life."
"Is it because this world is more extraordinary?"
Without hesitation, he consumed the required 99 wish tokens.
Immediately, something changed in his mindscape—a mysterious, intricate rune formed within his consciousness.
A stream of information poured into his mind, which he absorbed at lightning speed.
Then, with a thought, he mentally called out: "Open attribute panel."
A glowing screen appeared before his eyes—visible only to him.

"As expected, my comprehension aptitude from my previous life carried over—and it even improved a bit."
"My martial arts skill has reverted to basic insight. I'll have to retrain from scratch."
"But with that prior insight, it should go faster this time."
"Not a bad deal."
"Yin Release being tied to soul and mental strength explains why it's so high."
"Ninjutsu, Constitution, Swordsmanship, and Uchiha Bloodline are probably the result of this life's genetics."
"But this Space aptitude—I never had that before. It must've been affected by the cross-dimensional travel."
"That's a huge win."
Ren Takashi grinned inwardly.
He suspected his innate space-related abilities might even surpass the legendary Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
The best part? He could continue improving any aptitude using his wishes.
Yes—that's how versatile and overpowered the Wish talent truly was.
"The ninja world isn't exactly peaceful—especially since I'm born into the Uchiha clan as Fugaku's little brother."
"It's Year 28... the Second Great Ninja War is just a few years away."
"Priority one is boosting my strength as quickly as possible."
"Good thing I've got so many wish points banked. Time to upgrade my ninja aptitudes and accelerate my growth."
Of course, he could just wish to instantly gain power—but that had a poor return on investment.
He'd tested it in his last life.
Information-based wishes had the lowest cost.
Talent and power-related wishes were moderate.
Material object wishes were by far the most expensive and inefficient.
With that in mind, Uchiha Takashi began bulk-wishing:
[I wish to consume 78 wish points to permanently maximize my Ninjutsu aptitude.]
[I wish to consume 102 wish points to permanently maximize my Constitution aptitude.]
[I wish to consume 2 wish points to permanently maximize my Yin Release aptitude.]
[I wish to consume 78 wish points to permanently maximize my Swordsmanship aptitude.]
[I wish to consume 2 wish points to permanently maximize my Space aptitude.]
...
As each wish was made, waves of warmth surged through Takashi's body.
His physique grew stronger and more agile. His strength increased dramatically. His spiritual power soared, and his mind became razor-sharp.
Even the small amount of chakra he had just extracted multiplied more than tenfold.
His thinking, memory, and insight all improved dramatically.
His sensitivity to spatial phenomena underwent a qualitative transformation—he could now feel the fluctuations and nodes of the surrounding space. He could lock onto them with pinpoint accuracy.

"Wait... does boosting Yin Release also boost comprehension?"
"Since Yin deals with soul and mental strength... that actually makes sense."
Takashi rubbed his chin as he studied the attribute panel. The realization dawned on him.
It might have only increased his comprehension stat by 500 points, but in practice, his clarity of mind had more than doubled.
He could only imagine how powerful his insight would become once it reached Super-Kage level.
[I wish to permanently and comprehensively improve my ninja aptitudes.]
Immediately, he sensed subtle improvements across the board, even though his panel's numbers hadn't visibly changed.
So he repeated the wish three more times.
Now, checking the panel again, he found 1-point gains in Ninjutsu, Constitution, Yin Release, and Comprehension—everything except Space, Swordsmanship, and Uchiha Bloodline.
"So these four traits—Ninjutsu, Constitution, Yin, and Comprehension—are what make up a ninja's core aptitude?"
"That makes future upgrades easier to plan."
[I wish to learn the most optimal method to awaken my Sharingan.]
