1 Hiroki

My name is Hiroki Johnson, male, 15 years old and deathly allergic to cats even though I love cats. Now some of you might be thinking, why would my parents give me a Japanese name? Did they like anime so much that it affected their naming sense?

Sign, I wish it was like that instead but it's the opposite. Before I was born, my parents decided to move from Japan to the United States. When they got here, they were so fascinated with the cultures here that they changed their surname but for some reason, kept their first name as Japanese. I mean, why couldn't they change their first name to an English name like normal people, it makes more sense that way. Too bad my parents are as far from normal as people can get.

Now, why am I telling you all this? How do I know that someone is listening to me? The answer is... I don't, but considering where I am right now and how I got here, I can say that the chances of someone watching me or at least reading about me on some fanfiction website are high.

It all started with a blue screen. Not the blue screen of death from video game consoles or computer but a blue screen appearing in front of my vision. On the screen read 'Would you like a new life? One filled with adventures in a world where almost anything is possible.' Right below it is a [Yes] or [No] button. If I'm going to compare it to anything, I'd say it look like the screen that The Gamer, Han Jijan sees with his ability.

When I first saw it, I thought that all the shenanigans my parents did finally driven me crazy. What's even crazier is that I stop and consider what the blue screen is offering me. I mean, I love my parents as crazy as they are, but I always wanted to go out and explore the world. I wanted to go on adventures and create a harem like the characters I often read about in stories or watched in animes.

In the end, my curiosity and sense of adventure got the better of me and I clicked [Yes]. Nothing happened for a few seconds as if the screen is confirming my choice. When I pull my hand away from the screen, it starts to grow until it's bigger than me and slowly morphs into a door. For some reason, I wasn't scared of what's happening in front of me. Instead, I feel excited wanting to know what's on the other side.

When I grab the door handle, another blue screen pop up on the door. It read 'Are you sure? Once you step through there is no going back'. I hesitate for a second before remembering something that my dad told me. 'Life isn't fair so when you have the chance to do something you want, don't hesitate to go for it.'

I steel myself before pushing the door open. Beyond the door, all I see is white but I didn't hesitate any more and step through. Once I'm on the other side, I look back only to see a white wall there. Looking around, I see that I'm in a white room without anything at all.

As I was about to scream out into nothing, another blue screen pops up.

[Welcome to the Game of Life. Please choose what world you want to go to.]

Below the message is a list of worlds I can choose from.

[Bleach

DC

Fairy Tail

Marvel

Naruto

One Piece…]

Out of all the worlds I choose six that interested me the most. Picking a random number at the top of my head, I end up with the number 77. From there I start counting the worlds in order until I get to the number 77. It ends up on Naruto so that's what I picked.

When I click Naruto, another screen pops up.

[Are you sure. Once you picked a world, there is no changing it.]

[Yes][No]

I click yes again and the blue screen disappears. The room around me starts to change, surprising me. When everything stops, the room turns into what looks like a cheap apartment room… a cheap apartment room that looks similar to Naruto's room. After I was done looking around, another blue screen appears again.

[Character Creation: During character creation, you can customize your look and pick your background or choose to be a person that already exists.]

[Customize][People]

I click Customize. Another screen appears with a model that looks like me on it. Even though I wouldn't say I look handsome, I didn't change my look. I'm me and I don't want to be someone else.

I did see something interesting below my character model though. It says 'allergic to cats' with an 'x' next to it. I click the 'x' wondering what it does and the words 'allergic to cats' disappear. I got excited seeing it disappear and hope it meant what I thought it did.

I confirm my character causing the character screen to disappear and another to appear.

[Name yourself.]

Under the text is a white line without anything else. Since there's nothing else on it, I decided to do what all the MC I read about would do in this situation. I said "Hiroki" and as I suspected, the name Hiroki appear on the white line. I want a last name too but I don't want to use my current family name since it won't fit into the Narutoverse so I choose my previous family name.

"Name Hiroki, family name Sen," I said to the screen.

Hitting confirm another box appears.

[Do you want to be a [Boy] or [Girl]]

Of course, I choose boy. I have nothing against homosexual people out there but I'm not gay nor do I want to be a girl.

[Choose your background]

[Drop-in: Appear on the outskirts of one of the five major villages without any background.

Clan-Born: Choose to be born in one of the many clans in the Elemental Nations. The family name will be changed.

Orphan: Become one of the many orphans scattered throughout the world.

Civilian: Your family will come with you to the Elemental Nations but they won't have any of there memory on Earth and will instead have the memory of their new life in the Elemental Nations. Warning: parents will be normal civilians without any protection.]

Looking at the list of backgrounds, I'm tempted to choose Civilian but knowing my parents, they'll get themselves into trouble that will risk their life if I do take them with me. Reluctantly I choose Orphan. I don't want to be in a clan because of the responsibility I'll have to take if I become powerful or having to follow their rules if I didn't. I also didn't choose Drop-in because that is just asking for trouble.

[[Bloodline] or [Ability]]

Both of the options have a question mark next to it so I click the question marks.

[Bloodline - Choose a bloodline to inherit]

[Ability - Inherit an ability that is normally not available or not available at all in the Elemental Nations]

From the descriptions, I obviously chose Bloodline.

[[Canon Bloodline] or [Non-Canon Bloodline]. Warning: choosing a canon bloodline will influence where you'll live while choosing a non-canon bloodline will let you choose where you want to live.]

I chose Non-Canon because I want to see what it has. There is a lot of interesting bloodlines but the one that caught my attention is the Chakra Construct bloodline. Its description is

[Chakra Construct - Make a construction purely out of chakra and shape it however you like as long as you have the chakra for it. The construct can become stronger/tougher by having better Chakra Control or adding more Chakra into the construct]

I decide to chose it because I want to see if I can create a Susanoo without having to go through an emo phase like all the Uchiha. Besides, who wouldn't like to be able to conjure up a mountain size armor that can rekt shit. Still, I doubt I'll be able to create something like a Susanoo without at least Kage level chakra but even if I can't, being able to create a chakra construct will be useful.

[Choose your village.]

I choose Konoha because even with all its flaws, it's still the village that'll give me the most freedom. It'll also allow me to get stronger faster than other places if I use my knowledge. I click confirmed and another prompt pops up.

[Are you sure? Once you confirm, there is no changing anything.]

[Yes][No]

I click yes. As soon as I did, the window that was all white before shine brightly as the world outside seems to expand into a village.

[Thank you for choosing to play our Game of Life. Be aware that the world you are going to is real and all the choices you make will have an impact on the world whether it's good, bad, big, or small. You only have one chance at life. If you die, then it's game over.]

"..."

So the Naruto world is a real world after all… I guess I should treat this 'game' more seriously.
