chapter 3
Sasuke's voice barely rose above a whisper, resonating with desolation and solitude. "What about my revenge?" he murmured.
The system, devoid of emotion, responded matter-of-factly, "I'm not designed for revenge. I'm a goddess collector system intended to aid in attracting females." Upon hearing this, Sasuke felt a wave of disappointment. His focus shattered as conflicting emotions surged within him. How could he reconcile his thirst for revenge, Feeling lost and unsettled, Sasuke turned to the system , seeking answers for his agitated emotions. "Is there something wrong with my emotions?" he questioned; uncertainty palpable in his tone.
The system paused, considering its response. "Your spirit appears to be stable," it finally replied.
"Without a physical body, I cannot judge anything."
Observing Sasuke inspecting his hands and feet, the system added,
"You're just an incorporeal form.''
As the system provided its answer, Sasuke fell silent. Both of the options were not acceptable, so he didn't want to choose.
Looking at Sasuke, who was not choosing any of the options system suggested,
"I will attempt to reverse the timeline of the Naruto world, perhaps one or two years earlier," the system proposed. "You can start travelling to different worlds, complete missions, grow stronger, and achieve your goals.
Upon learning about time reversal, Sasuke questioned whether the system could specifically reverse time to the night of the genocide, seeking a pivotal change in events.
The system clarified, "The process of reversing time is already depleting a considerable portion of my energy reserves. Should I extend the reversal beyond three years, you would lose the memories you currently possess.'' 'Regaining those memories after returning to the night of the genocide doesn't make sense, as it would mean experiencing the same pain twice without any benefit.
Slightly disappointed, Sasuke inquired, "Will there be a way for me to safely reverse the time in the future?" The system's response was hard to swallow.
"It will become increasingly challenging with time. Even if you try, you might create a branch timeline, which you would not want.
"Immersed in thought, Sasuke then asked about the system's abilities.
"As I said, you get system points," the system clarified. "These points can be used in the system mall to exchange for daily necessities, weapons, knowledge, or training yourself or other girls. You can acquire system points by collecting girls, assisting them, or completing system missions."
Sasuke asked, "Is there any starter pack?"
"Besides this system space, you will receive a new Mangekyou Sharingan from the start," the system replied. "Additionally, your chakra will be improved to make it more compatible with multiple uses, and you'll also receive ten healing potion bottles."
Sasuke raised a concern: "Didn't I already have the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
"Upon reversing time, your current Mangekyou Sharingan will vanish, and a new one will be bestowed upon you, integrating with your body."
He inquired, ''Can you merge them after I awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan so I can achieve the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?''
The system clarified, "Host, fusing the same Sharingan to obtain the Eternal Kaleidoscope isn't possible." Sasuke questioned further, "Isn't it wasteful to fuse the Mangekyō Sharingan if they can't grant me the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?"
The system reassured him, "You'll receive a Mangekyō Sharingan, which is more durable and on the same level as Indra." If you want a different path from the original Sasuke, you have to stop thinking like the original Sasuke. You have already shown the potential of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Achieving the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is very easy for you, so you shouldn't be fixed on this, look for goals worth pursuing.
As Sasuke absorbed the system's advise and pondered his options, a sense of defiance stirred within him. Sasuke closed his eyes briefly, taking a deep breath. He was reborn in a different world, equipped with a system. Now, with time reversal, Sasuke knew that if this didn't solve his problems, no one else could fix them. For Sasuke, this marked the beginning of a new chapter, a chance to reshape his destiny.
