Irony hurts worse than the death that killed me.
I wheezed, coughed, and laughed bitterly. The pain tore through my ribs like a badly animated Rasengan.
My fingers twitched over the plastic case of my phone, still lit up with the paused frame of Boruto Episode 290.
"Of… all the time to die," I rasped, "I die watching this garbage?"
My voice cracked like an old VHS tape.
"Retcons. Power scaling. Naruto got done dirty… and don't get me started on the alien Otsutsuki nonsense!" another cough, this one wetter, crueler.
I stared at the grey sky.
"I wish I could… just stop this sequel… rewrite it… make it better…"
The cold crept into his fingertips.
My final breath came not with dignity, but with venom and malice.
"Boruto is a mistake."
Suddenly, just as I was about to close my eyes, a bright light crashed before my eyes.
And then…
Ping!

[Desperation Index: 99.92%

[The System is giving you a chance to complete your wish. ]
[Do you accept the system's offer?]
[Yes | No]
Staring at the screen blankly, I couldn't believe what I'm seeing.
"Is this really happening? After reading so many fanfics? If this was really the afterlife…"
With intense emotions surging through me, I already know the answer to the system's question.
"I SHOULD HAVE KILL MY SELF SOONER!"
[Yes!]
Black suddenly engulfed my whole body.
Opening my eyes, in the empty field in the body of what seems to be like a four year old. The same bright screen welcomed me.
[SYSTEM UNLOCK!]
[Congratulations, Host!]
[You have successfully entered, World ID: #4951 – SHINOBI REALM [NARUTO]

'Wait what? Bloody mist… Is this before Boruto exists… This changes a lot of things!'
The endless possibilities…
'If this was the third, or the second or even Yagura's Reign of Terror! I could change a lot of things!'
'Doesn't the systems usually have unique functions and gifts??'
"Hey! System! Do you have any gifts for me? Like most systems have in fanfiction???"
['Starter Pack Gift For Newbies' has been received!]

Just imagining the creation of the tarot club in the Naruto world! No matter the generation, there will always be godlike organizations!
'I could create a faction in Kirigakure to oppose the bloody mist policy!'
[You have awakened a New Skill Set]

"Yes! The Second Mizukage! It should be Gengetsu Hozuki, he have a foolish death, I feel like I can save him and earn his favour by giving him insight!"
"Huh, Noragami Clan? System Description Noragami Clan."
[Noragami Clan (野神一族)]
[The Noragami Clan is a little-known shinobi lineage with origins tied to forbidden spiritual practices. According to legend, the clan descends from a man who attempted to seal a god within his own body. Though the attempt failed, fragments of that power were passed down through his bloodline.]
[The clan's unique hereditary trait is known as the Bakasenkansha (莫先感者), a rare chakra mutation affecting the mind and perception. It does not manifest in every descendant, but when it does, it grants the user heightened extrasensory awareness and altered states of perception that border on prophetic.]
[The Bakasenkansha awakens in childhood through a vision: the child sees a castle emerging from mist and hears a disembodied voice whisper a single command, "Ascend." This event marks the beginning of their abilities, though the extent and control over the power vary between individuals..]
'Huh, so an unknown clan then, is the bakasenkansha kekkei genkai the seer pathway? I didn't think the system would go so far as to edit the plot for me to fit in!'
'Bakasenkansha, the foolish seer… Fitting name I guess! Well now I don't have to worry about explaining my abilities, I can just blame it on my kekkei Genkai!'
Just as I was about to check my skills, a realization came before me in the sight of darkness, it's already night time, so I could continue this in my home.
'Wait… Where is my home?!?! SYSTEM!!!!
[The previous owner and your soul and memories have already been merged. You can find the answer to your question in the previous owner's memories.]
'Wait, did I just steal a kid's body?!?!'
[REMINDER: This is not body theft. Both souls coexist in balance, sharing equal influence (50/50). Your memories and identities have been harmonized, not overwritten.]
[SYSTEM TIP: Embrace this unity. You are not and will never be alone.]
[Good luck, Transmigrator.]
