Death
I was sitting in front of the glass wall of my house on the 27th floor, wearing only a bathrobe, drinking one of the most expensive red wines in the world, against the magnificent view of New York, but I still did not feel satisfied.
I did everything I could to find a solution to this problem.
As I got up from my $10,000 recliner and watched the view of New York, I started thinking about my past life.
At first, I was an orphan born in an ordinary slum. After finishing primary school, I couldn't stand how dreamy and unreasonable my peers around me were compared to me, so I left school.
I got a job at a mechanic and worked for years. During my years working as a mechanic, I also learned what economics meant and faced the realities of the world.
The owner of the mechanic I worked at when I was about 12 died.
The owner of the mechanic I worked at was a very old man and had no relatives, that's why he took me with him, he said I looked like him when he was young.
Personally, I thought that what the mechanic said was just nonsense. There was a huge difference between him and me. While he had already given up on going further, I had only taken the first step.
After the mechanic shop was left to me, I quickly put the entire shop and all the materials in it up for sale.
For half a year, I followed the economy closely, constantly wandered around the city center and learned people's thoughts, and finally the opportunity I had been waiting for had arrived.
I managed to buy a car sold by a man who urgently needed money for 50% less than its original value, so I started buying and selling.
All the work I did was illegal, because problems arose due to my age and I was able to avoid paying huge amounts of taxes.
Although my property was confiscated by the police several times, each time I had a larger amount of money hidden in a corner.
While chasing years like this, I turned 18 and ended up in a government office.
I officially owned a company now, even though this company was a sole proprietorship, it was a good step to start investing.
My knowledge about economics was increasing every year with the online courses I took over the internet.
My whole life turned into money. After a while, I constantly think about how to earn more.
--------
When I turned 36, I founded an investment company and my first annual earnings were exactly 25 million dollars. Moreover, I was the only person working in the company I founded.
Later that year, I began growing my investment firm by hiring and training a number of enthusiastic employees.
In just four years, I owned one of the 10 largest companies in America and one of the 100 largest companies in the world, but I still felt the need to earn more money, remembering the garbage I ate because of hunger in my childhood.
20 years later, my company became America's largest investment company, with hundreds of subsidiaries, and even the presidents of the countries spoke cautiously in front of me.
The financial assets of my company had grown so much that after a while, I started investing not in other companies but in 3rd Class world countries.
But I still had this feeling that I wasn't perfect enough, and now I know exactly what that feeling is.
As I looked at the gun the assassin standing in front of me pointed to my forehead, I realized that I had never been strong enough since my childhood.
I didn't even know how he managed to bypass all the guards at the door and around the building to get into my room, but I was secretly jealous of him.
Holding a person's life in the palm of your hand was a feeling I was used to, but for the first time in a long time, I felt like I was in the palm of someone else's hand.
While looking at the assassin, who was covering her entire body with black clothes, I wanted to try my luck, even though I knew how assassins did their job. I decided that if I could survive now, in the future I would spend all my money on developing the super soldier serum that only exists in movies.
"If you lift up the 7th bottle in the refrigerator behind me, a secret safe will open. It contains approximately 50 million dollars of crypto money. You can just take the crypto money and run away. If you tell me the name of the person holding you, I will even help you to make sure you go abroad."
I was standing fearlessly in front of the assassin, smiling like a fox with my hands in my robe pocket.
While I was waiting for the mysterious assassin to take the money and leave, I saw his finger start to move slightly. Apparently, the person who sent the assassin here was holding someone important to the assassin hostage, or this assassin was generally too loyal to his job to be expected from an assassin. While I was cursing my luck, I wondered if I could have survived if I had considered the possibility of the assassin's rejection in the first place, and at that moment a loud explosion sounded.
As my consciousness sank into darkness, the last thing I thought about was why the assassin hadn't asked for the combination to the safe before killing me.
As I was dying, I felt like I was slowly being swallowed by a pitch black swamp. And then I fell asleep with a feeling of relief
I dreamed of my wife and 3 children, whose only reason I allowed them to continue to exist was to improve my public image.
It was the first time I saw them in my dreams because I didn't really care how they lived their lives. In fact, I haven't even seen any of them in the last year.
I gave my wife and my children a debit card with unlimited balance. What more could they want from me? Even though I loved money, I was so rich that unless what they decided to buy was a country, any major expenses they bought wouldn't even be included in my bill.
Actually, until the last few years, I was living with my wife and children, but as I started to get older, the stress on me increased and I left them in their country and moved to New York.
After a while, my whole life flashed before my eyes like a movie sheriff and I literally disappeared into nothingness.
----------
- 52nd anniversary of the founding of Konoha
-Western forests of konoha
In the middle of an area surrounded by dozens of ninjas were two stone beds with black markings engraved around them.
On one of the beds carved from stone stood an old woman with red hair almost fading.
On the other bed carved from stone, a 12-year-old girl with red hair was lying unconscious.
A massive purple barrier surrounded this area and the ninjas around it from a distance of approximately 100 meters
Some old ninjas were kneeling on the ground, touching the black writings stretching towards the stone beds and muttering something.
The hair of the old woman lying on the first stone bed was getting whiter and her skin was getting more wrinkled every second, while a red energy coming out of the old woman's belly was mystically flowing towards the belly of the girl lying on the stone bed next to her.
After about an hour, the jinchruki replacement was almost complete.
The three men standing on a high place outside the barrier were carefully watching the incident here, and when they saw that the transaction was completed without any problems, they all let out a sigh of relief.
The woman lying on the first stone bed, every part of her skin wrinkled, opened her eyes and looked at the young girl sleeping on the stone bed next to her.
In the eyes of the old woman, a few old ninjas came with rolls in their hands with sealed sealing techniques and wrapped them around the young girl, then opened the rolls in their hands.
Some red energy was still leaking from the girl's navel, the black seals coming out of these rolls quickly flowed towards the girl's body and sealed the red energy into the girl's navel.
While the old woman was watching this scene, the sealing technique was almost completed. At this moment, a black energy mass from the sky dived into the sealing technique that was about to be completed.
When the old woman saw that no one seemed to notice this situation, she wanted to shout to inform them, but the life energy in her body was leaking out every second from the gap in her belly, where her soul and body meet.
The ninjas surrounding the area thought that the old woman had died a long time ago, so no one paid attention to the old woman.
The old woman tried to warn people with the last remaining vitality in her body, but she failed and surrendered to the endless feeling of insomnia she felt throughout her body.
The reason why only Mito Uzumaki saw the energy entering the red-haired girl's body was that she was very close to death at this time. In the last moments before people die, their brains are subjected to such strong stress that they begin to see things they would not normally see.
----------
As my consciousness sank into black nothingness, suddenly the nothingness became much stronger and began to suck me in.
Even though I couldn't feel anything after I didn't know how long, I could see some things around me.
Right now, I was being pulled to one side in space and I was being pulled so fast that the stars were passing by me fast.
Considering how big the stars actually are, I was now seriously doubting that I was going faster than the speed of light, but I came up with the theory that someone going faster than the speed of light wouldn't be able to see anything, although this was just a made-up theory.
After a while, my naked body, which was rapidly being pulled to one side in space, started to slow down.
As my body floating in space slowed down, a screen appeared in front of me that moved with me.
[ Congratulations on obtaining the template system ]
[ Congratulations, you have been chosen to be reborn in the world of Naruto ]
[ Congratulations, you have a mission: destroy someone's soul essence and take that person's place to gain full standing in the world of Naruto
Note: if you choose to live without destroying anyone's soul essence, you will never be able to use chakra]
While I was reading the texts in front of me, I slowly started to get carried away by the gravity of a planet and move towards the planet, but I didn't care that much. What really caught my attention right now were the texts in front of me.
I had a few ideas about these articles, at least I had heard the name 'kurama' before. Before we separated, my wife and children used to make a program where we watched TV together once a week.
When I was in primary school, I would hear some kids talking about anime and having fun, and this topic was always a pain in my heart.
After my 30s, I no longer had to spend all day making money and I spent my free time watching anime on TV with my family.
Of course, since these movie nights didn't last long, we watched a few popular anime and half of the Naruto anime.
Meanwhile, a few more system notifications appeared in front of me
[You have a beginner gift package, please click here to use it]
When I clicked on the translucent screen in front of me, a new system window opened.
[ Congratulations, you have obtained the sukuna template ]
[ Congratulations, you have earned the right to change your appearance once ]
[Congratulations, your soul essence will be indestructible until the first mission is completed]
While a large amount of information was being transferred to my brain by the system, I had just entered the borders of the planet I had approached and was floating down from the clouds.
As my speed slowed down more and more every second, the information in my mind finally came into order.
First of all, the sukuna template was the template of a villain from an anime I watched before, but if I remember correctly, the villain was always sealed inside a child, even though he was a pretty powerful villain.
For every 24 hours I spent, the system would increase the progress of the sukuna template by 0.02%, as long as I made enough progress in the template, I would be able to gain the techniques and power that the sukuna had.
