1 Having died; Moving on and new life

A crash course in how to avoid dying: Don't get shot. Repeatedly.

He learned that the hard way. Being a rather big man, being a smith and all, he felt slightly awkward sitting in a small chair in front of the desk, in the white room he found himself in after being at the wrong place at the wrong time. You would assume correct that he was indeed hit by a stray bullet, though that did not kill him. After all, a bullet to the thigh does not kill a person, the blood loss would take care of that if it was not seen to in a timely fashion. No, he did not die to blood loss either though. Nay, it was the six other bullets that somehow ricocheted off bricks and the metal poles and found their way into his body. Truly, it would be seen as a miracle if not for the fact an innocent person died. A total of twelve were shot, and seven found their way into HIS body by accident. His thoughts gone out on a tangent, quickly refocused when a man appeared in front of him on the other side of the desk. He deduced that the man was a direct approach guy, no-nonsense and all that. How? Because the man directly spoke and asked him a question.

"Good evening. You died, congratulations. Why do I say congratulations? Simple, really. You see, I have read plenty of those isekai stories where the main character goes there and plows through the entire story, only fighting and stuff like that. Hence, you have been picked to go to another world and live a life there as you wish to. That brings us to the first thing of importance. You have a choice. One, decide what world to go to and get 3 wishes. Two, spin a wheel with some worlds on it and get 5 wishes instead. Which do you pick?"

Contemplating his options, he nodded to himself.

"I'll take the spin on the wheel and have the 5 wishes"

He had deduced that would be the best idea, simply because of one thing. He would get an additional wish.

"Very well, go ahead and spin the wheel then" the other man stated, pointing to the left and rightly so, there was a giant wheel, with several 'worlds' he knew of.

Walking over to the wheel, grabbing the side tightly, before giving it a good yank to spin it properly.

The wheel spun..

And spun...

..

It kept spinning.

Still going...

It slowly began to lose some speed, and slipped over a few named 'Lord of the Rings', 'Warcraft' and 'Fairy Tail' to name a few, it came to a stop on the one saying 'Naruto'.

Seeing where he would go, he simply slightly nodded, before turning to the man and raising a few questions.

"A few questions. Will I retain my memories? Can I decide when I arrive, where I arrive and how? Same with my appearance, can I decide on that as well, or do I need to 'waste' wishes on stuff like cosmetics and when or where?"

"Decent questions indeed. In that order it is then. Yes, you will retain your memories. Yes, you can decide where, when and how you arrive. No, you can't decide on your appearance. The last one is actually the trickiest, surprisingly enough, no? The fact is, you will need to wish for another appearance is that you already have an appearance as you are right now. There are loopholes in this though, so you just need to properly think about the wish"

"Very well, I can work with this I reckon. Let's have a looksie then, shall we?"

Scratching his chin a bit, before nodding and then starting.

"First wish, I would like the full powers, knowledge and experiences in combat of Muzaka from Noblesse with access to chakra, including his appearance, age 21, and the outfit to be his coat one, except the coat needs to be longer, like an Admiral coat from One Piece, and the pants to be in black, kept up by a blood red belt"

Nodding, the other man took note of the fact that he indeed did find a way to work a loophole in his favor.

"Second wish, I want a system. Not one of those sassy ones that constantly gives missions, give snappy remarks or anything like that. Nay, I just need a craftsman system to keep track of my craftman abilities, and their level of skill, as well as the observation ability to inspect the level of my craft, the materials I will be using. There shall be a shop where I can buy all kinds of materials from multiple worlds. A storage, or an inventory if you wish, which already contains 100.000.000 (100 million) ryo, and a giant hammer that will perfectly shift in weight and size according to my wish, appearance of the hammer is The Black Hand without the spikes on it, wielded by Blackhand from the Warcraft universe,"

Once again a nod was received in return.

"Third wish, I want the talent for the crafts: Blacksmithing, Sewing, Leatherworking, Fuinjutsu, Woodworking and Cooking. And a talent for wielding any kind of weapon. The talent shall be equal to the top 1.000 talents across all worlds in their individual field. In short, the top 1.000 Blacksmiths, my talent is equal to theirs if they were combined"

A nod. Again. Curious, really. It was after all a rather big wish.

"Fourth wish, a personal dimension with a variable timerate, all in between 1 day being 1 day to 1 day being 364 days. The dimension should contain work stations for all fields, and unlimited supplies for practice in all fields. Nothing can be taken out of the dimension, unless it entered with me, or were bought in the shop from the system"

A chuckle this time, and of course, the nod.

"Fifth wish, honestly I am running out of options here, so I just want to do some basic modifications to my body, therefore, a high affinity for fire and wind. My body has higher rate of adaptability, in short, if I set my body on fire, and regenerate, I will be less impacted by it"

A fifth and final nod, and another chuckle.

"Very well, when and where do you want to appear?"

"A small village slightly outside of Konoha. I want to arrive when Inuzuka Tsume is 16"

"Hehe, I see where you're going with that. If that is all, then I'll be sending you off"

"It is indeed all, thank you very much"

As soon as he finished, the world spun before him, and he stood slightly off a road near a small township.
