Starting As Sukuna In Naruto
Power decides everything.
Kris Ives learned that lesson the hard way. Born into a broken life and killed by forces far beyond his control, his final wish was not justice, peace, or redemption. It was strength.
Reborn as Ren, an orphan in the Hidden Leaf Village during the years before the Nine-Tails incident reshaped history, he awakens to a world of shinobi, chakra, and blood-soaked ambition. Alongside his second life comes a mysterious System, granting him the ability to draw and synchronize with powerful templates from other worlds.
His first and most dangerous inheritance is Ryomen Sukuna.
Through gradual synchronization, Ren begins to adapt cursed techniques into the chakra-based world of Naruto, walking a razor’s edge between overwhelming power and losing himself to the philosophy that birthed it. Strength, hierarchy, inevitability. The very principles that once destroyed him now threaten to define him.
Cold, calculating, and deeply distrustful, Ren pursues power with singular focus. Yet the world around him refuses to remain simple. Bonds form despite his resistance, and figures like Itachi Uchiha challenge his belief that strength alone is enough to bring peace.
As canon bends and fractures under his influence, Ren must confront a question no amount of power can easily answer:
Is strength a tool to protect the world… or a throne meant to stand above it?
In a village built on sacrifice and lies, a boy carrying the shadow of a curse walks a path that may either save the future or carve it apart.
