The world shook.
Roars of the Nine-Tails echoed through the night sky, its chakra covering Konoha like a storm. Buildings collapsed, shinobi rushed through the streets, and cries filled the air.
And yet, in a small, quiet corner of the village—far away from the main battlefield—a newborn child opened his eyes.
> [Ding! Binding process complete. Welcome, User, to the Naruto World.]
The voice rang inside his head, mechanical and cold, yet reassuring in its clarity.
The infant blinked, his crystal-blue eyes shimmering like polished sapphire. His hair—white, almost glowing under the moonlight—fell in loose strands, far too striking for a normal baby.
"His hair… and those eyes…" the midwife whispered, staring at him in awe.
But inside that fragile body, the soul of an Earthling stirred.
—So it really worked… I reincarnated.
Memories of his previous life flooded in: the countless hours watching anime, Gojo Satoru being his favorite character, the wish he made before waking here…
The voice returned.
> You have been granted three wishes:
Wish 1 – Appearance of Gojo Satoru. ✅
Wish 2 – Same timeline as Naruto's birth. ✅
Wish 3 – Unique Sign-In System. ✅
Initialization complete. Day 1 Reward: Chakra Refining Technique (Basic).
Even as a baby, Gojo Kirato felt the sudden warmth flowing inside his body—an energy both foreign and familiar. Chakra. His tiny fingers clenched unconsciously.
Outside, the sounds of battle grew distant. The Nine-Tails' rampage was being sealed away.
Kirato remained silent, his infant face calm and oddly mature.
—So this is it. I'm here. And I need to survive.
He knew the dangers: Hiruzen's suspicion, Danzō's greed, Orochimaru's twisted curiosity, Obito lurking in the shadows, and the will of Black Zetsu spanning centuries. One wrong move, one reckless show of strength, and he'd become a pawn—or worse, eliminated.
The midwife wrapped him in cloth and handed him to his exhausted mother. She smiled weakly, brushing a finger over his white hair.
"Kirato… that will be your name," she whispered.
The boy, Gojo Kirato, closed his eyes.
And in the depths of his mind, the system interface glowed faintly.
> [Sign-in available at designated locations.]
[Host is advised: Strength must be hidden until the right moment.]
Kirato smirked inwardly.
—Don't worry. I know better than to show all my cards… This world eats geniuses alive.
As the cries of newborn Naruto echoed faintly in the distance, another child was born into Konoha's turbulent night—one who would walk alongside, yet apart, shaping his own destiny.
And unlike Naruto, he had no interest in becoming Hokage.
He only wanted freedom… and maybe, a shy girl with pale lavender eyes who needed saving.
