1 Chapter 1 : Jin Namikage

It felt like an eternity, as I was finally able to feel a faint connection between my consciousness and my body.

I still remember that cursed day, when I last felt this connection, It was the day when I died due to the so-called coronavirus. Yeah, It was a cursed day for me, I was only 18 years old, I didn't even get to achieve my adulthood.

Maybe It was not that bad, as I was able to get rid of my browse history, beforehand.

Suddenly my thoughts were Interrupted as a series of unfamiliar memories, invaded my consciousness.

The memories of an orphan boy, of the Namikage clan... This world? Where have I seen this before? Ninja...War, Konoha, Jutsu, Chakra...Why can't I remember? It feels familiar but yet unfamiliar.

As the memories came to an end, I can't help but sympathize, with the 5 years old kid, who died due to hunger and loneliness.

It was sad..but why am I seeing these things? And is this some kind of fantasy world, where people can do things, that should be impossible, in reality.... wait What's happening.

My thoughts were shaken as my mind was in a sudden state of surprise. Somehow, I was able to feel my body, It feels weak but that's not what matters now. A dead person can feel his body again... What in the holy hell is going on?

I took quite some time calming myself, as I clenched my fist and cleared the unnecessary thought,

I was able to feel it again, the long-lost sensation of blood running through my veins, the sensation of cold air passing through my nostrils, and the once stopped heart started beating again.

I slowly opened my eyes, and a blinding bright light invaded through my eyelids, My eyes were quite sensitive at first as everything seems blurry.

But It only remained for a mere second as My vision cleared and I was greeted by a pale orange sky, with a satting sun.

I tried standing up, only to tremble a few steps and helplessly lean over to the nearby shop wall.

"Weak.. the body is too weak".

I mumbled as I looked at the surroundings while supporting myself on the wall.

As I looked at my surroundings, I saw many different Shops and architectural designs in a row, which I was familiar with, from the earlier memories that invaded my mind.

I remember myself dieing, So It's quite impossible for me to return to my original body, huh?.. Don't tell me.. Did I transmigrate to the boy's body from the fantasy world?

Meanwhile, my thoughts were Interrupted as I heard a feminine voice invade my mind.

" First template has arrived....".

" Template name: Shadow Monarch. Sung Jin-woo ".

" Host body is not well nourished.... Starting Body modification ".

As the words ended, I again felt my consciousness fading as I fall to the ground like a lifeless body.

**********

Waking up the next morning, I again found myself in the same place, sleeping on the street...

But this time something felt different, My previously weak body felt full of energy.

I stood up and dusted my clothes, I was wearing a brown oversized loose t-shirt with many small holes in it, ankle reaching black pants, and a pair of worn-down sandals.

I felt energized as I jumped a few times...

" Host's Chakra has been unlocked..".

" Sung Jin-woo template ( Progress 0.1% )"

The feminine voice rang again, as I subconsciously move my head and scan my surrounding. It was still early morning and the streets was rather quiet.

Jin-woo? Shadow Monarch... Wait is it talking about solo Leveling... I have also read and watched a fair share of manhwas, novels and animes.

Doesn't this template thing grant the protagonist power from all over different anime characters. And wait...Am I in Naruto world...

Finally, my previously messed-up memories started clearing out, as I remember the world I am in... Why this one out of all the world?.

I fall to the ground on my butt, as I was in utter disbelief. Why this world, where killing is common as education?

Although I was happy to be reincarnated, I cursed my luck for sending me here.

After a few moments of luck cursing, I finally got up, as I realized that it was of no use.

I don't want to die, and crying over my luck is not gonna save me from this cruel world, As in this world it's all about kill or be killed.

I even had a cheat, I am not going down this easily, Either I shall become the strongest or live as a Cannon fodder.

I will take the first option. I steeled my determination as I was about to walk forward but was stopped by certain someone...

" Hey are you alone here", I heard a voice from behind, making me sturdled and stumbled to the ground on my butt.

"Shit", I cursed as I looked at the figure, It was a blonde hair kid, blonde hair... Wait that's the same goggles.. orange T-shirt and blue pants reaching the knees.

"Hahaha... Didn't expect this one coming", I laughed as seeing this kid here, made me realize the timeline I am in.

"What?", The boy, Naruto asked as he looked at me in confusion.

" Nah..", I shocked my head as I stood up, slap off the dust from my back and continued, " My name is Jin Namikage, and I am 5 years old ".

I reached out my right hand for a handshake, as I smiled at the boy. Naruto seems to be taken a back from my sudden introduction as he waited and looked at me in disbelief for a while .

" huh... Naruto... Naruto Uzumaki, I am also 5 years old", Naruto responsded as he shaked my hands with a cheerful smile.
