Naruto: Reborn with Kaguya Powers

Brian was not a man who thrived on danger or sought out thrilling adventures. In fact, he was known amongst his friends as a cautious and somewhat timid office worker.

He preferred the safety of his desk job over any kind of dangerous adventure. However, today was different his friends through relentless convincing made him join them and get out of his comfort zone—A parachute Jump.

At the sky diving center Brian stood at the open door of the plane, his heart pounding with a mix of anxiety and fear.

"Brian, you got this" Sam said with an excited grin. "Just remember to pull the parachute cord at the right time."

Brian's already trembling hands started sweating at the last part "I'm not sure, maybe I'm not cut out for this, I should just watch from the ground."

Anna, the avid thrill seeker and his crush, rolled her eyes at his timid tendencies, "Come on Brian, you cannot back out now, we've already paid for the jump. You'll be fine."

Despite the company's repeated reassurance and encouragement Brian's fear only grew. He was never to embrace risk the thought of jumping out of the plane was overwhelming.

Amidst his worries and urges to resist going down the plane, it took off.

He felt intense pressure, maybe due to repeated insurances. he felt like he had to follow through a determination was sprouting in his heart to not let fear control him.

As the plane reached higher Brian's anxiety reached its peak. He took in deep breaths, trying hard to steady his breathing. It was then the moment arrived the instructors signaled for the jump.

Brian hesitated, his thoughts filled with doubts and his mind racing a marathon, sweat trickled down his forehead.

"Brian you can do this" Sam shouted over the roar of the wind "It's now or never!"

Brian finally found the courage to step forward. He could feel the wind pushing him backward, but he pushed himself forward.

He froze as he reached the door, fear overwhelmed his mind. He no longer had any thoughts of jumping but at that moment he felt a hand holding his, turning his head he saw Anna with a face blooming like a chrysanthemum.

"Let's go," before he could react Anna jumped pulling him along.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" Brian's scream was louder than he ever thought possible, a sound from the depth of his fear. For a while all he could do was scream, every fiber of his being was reacting to the sudden fall.

But at the same time, a strange sense of exhilaration mixed with his fear. Anna's grip on his hand was firm. For the first time, he felt like he could do it.

"I LOVE YOU", Anna shouted with all her might and let loose of her grip. The next moment she moved her arms and dove down like a fish as if running away.

Sudden confession left him stunned; his mind struggled to process those words. Then a grin slowly formed on his face. A few moments later he saw a parachute opening below and swaying gracefully with the wind.

This observation hit him with the realization, 'I'm still midair, the grin faded, replaced by a surge of panic.

"I can't die now. Not after this… not after she just…"

His mind raced, clinging to Anna's words. The thought of leaving this world, of never seeing her again, filled him with a desperation he had never felt before.

He quickly grabbed the parachute's cord, but his expression changed as it didn't work.

"NO… This can't be happening! I have to survive… for her."

Not letting panic take him, he tried the backup parachute, and even that refused to open.

Fear and panic now overwhelmed his mind and his hands did not stop trying to pull it crazily again and again. The ground rushed towards him at terrifying speed, and at that moment Brian finally realized.

"I'm dead."

His heart sank, not just from fear of death, but from the cruel twist of fate that brought him to this moment.

"It's not fair… I just got the reason to live"

His mind screamed in protest, unwilling to accept it at all.

But as his life flashed before his eyes —moments of joy, sorrow, love, and regret, all blending into one final montage—a strange calm took over.

Perhaps, the death wasn't as scary as he thought. But leaving so much unsaid and undone, was unbearable.

Then, everything went black.

His consciousness wandered through the darkness for what felt like an eternity. The memories of Anna's confession clung to him refusing to let go. He couldn't die—not now, not after what she said.

Just as despair was about to consume him a light as if at the end of the tunnel appeared in his vision, reaching out instinctively he found himself in a white room.

A room with no corners, no sign of previous darkness, and no end in sight maybe the conjecture about it being one was an illusion.

"Welcome, Brian." Before he could analyze further an aged but ancient voice called him.

"Gh.. gh.. ghost?" looking at the ethereal figure Brian called out making the old man chuckle.

"Don't worry child, I am neither a ghost or a spirit. I am what humans call GOD" the being proclaims his identity.

"Really?" Brian is doubtful but decides to trust the entity anyway.

"Am I dead?"

GOD is startled to hear this question from Brian.

"Yes, child! You are dead."

"So, I really died?" Brian's expression turned solemn and he sulked in a corner.

GOD stared at Brian's soul with extreme pity and sighed to himself.

'Reaper picked the wrong soul again. Lately, he's making too many blunders. Looks like, I have to replace him.'

"Child don't lose hope." GOD consoles Brian, "you still have a chance."

"What really? Can really return back to life?" Brian felt ecstatic and stared at GOD with starry eyes.

"Although you cannot return to your previous life, there is still the next one."

"Why Anna just confessed to me, I have to reciprocate her feelings and tell her I love her too" his eyes turned red he questioned the being in front.

"Child" GOD with an extremely kind face continues "Do not worry, for you have already blessed her with a life. It was her that was supposed to die not you. That is the reason you are getting this chance."

"Your death set her free, she will remember you, but she will live a rich and fulfilled life."

"Reaper got you by mistake, it was Anna's turn, not yours."

"This does not make me feel any better," Brian sulks in the corner again. "But I can accept my death although reluctantly."

After thinking for a while he returns to the ever-patient deity.

"So, I can reincarnate?" Brian was still sad thinking about Anna when it hit him. "So, what kind of world will I reincarnate into?"

He stared curiously stared at GOD.

GOD ponders a bit then turns to Brian.

"Initially you would reincarnate on earth and live a successful next life with the amount of karma you have amassed in this life. But I will give you the choice of the world."

Hmm…

Brian thinks for a while as memories of various anime, cartoons, novels, comics, and stories cycle through his brain—especially Naruto. He had spent countless hours discussing every detail, analyzing every character, and dreaming about living in that world.

"Then I will choose Naruto World!" Brian said without any hesitation.

"Naruto World?"

GOD raises an eyebrow, not expecting such a choice from ever cowardly Brian.

"Are you sure?"

"YES," Brian shouts back as if he was a soldier in Scout's regime.

"Since you choose such a dangerous world, I can't allow you to die there again. Let's convert your karma into 3 rolls of a spin wheel"

"First spin will give you the character template, you can tell me 4 characters you want abilities of I can put them in as jackpots."

"Your second spin will grant you a random ability related to your eyes, think of this as a just in case you don't gain a character template with a dojutsu."

"Your 3rd spin will be a safety guard, could be anything from complete protection to just a normal defensive technique."

"Damn, are you sure you did not work at the casino before ascension?" he feels a surge of excitement "Really?"

"Yes, now child, tell me the 4 characters you wish to put in as jackpot," GOD answered.

Brian was a little excited, but his mind was still thinking about Anna, so he chose the best character he had in mind as the first option, whose abilities could later grant him a way back.

"First character: Rimuru Tempest from Slime Tensei,

2nd Character: Whis from Dragon Ball,

3rd Character: Yhawach,

4th Character: Shibai Otsutsuki."

GOD was surprised at how 3 of his 4 choices were characters with almost no limitations, except for Whis who cannot function without a God of Destruction, but he added them to the wheel.

"Now spin and see what you get."

Brian was excited and went to the enormous spin wheel, The wheel had almost every anime character in his knowledge.

The characters he named had their area expanded so to increase his chance of acquiring them, Brian could even spot some characters he forgot like Anti-Spiral, Zeno or Anos Voldigoad on the wheel.

Brian raised his hand and pressed the button saying 'SPIN'.

The wheel rotated like there was no tomorrow, it rotated so fast that all colors mixed in to create a glowing flash that forced Brian to close his eyes.

Brian opened his eyes as the light dimmed. He could see the wheel had slowed down and his heart jumped as he noticed the pointer coming to 'Rimuru Tempest.'

"YES, GIVE ME RIMURU" He shouted in excitement only for it to wane as the wheel did not stop spinning.

"Come on please give me something good" Brian started praying in the presence of GOD, maybe that would bless him.

The wheel finally stopped at Kaguya Otsutsuki, Brian was a little disappointed but it wasn't a bad roll.

Of course, against what he wanted i.e. Rimuru Tempest, any other template would look insignificant.

"I can do with Kaguya, hope is not lost, I'll farm her spatial ability to travel back." Brian calmed himself and something clicked in him, "I won't turn into a woman in my next life would I?"

A thought that scared him out of his wits surfaced in his mind, so he inquired.

"No, we respect gender here," GOD replied and with a pause he continued, "But if you want, I could grant that wish."

Brian sighed in relief at the first statement and reacted to the second, "No thanks, I'm good as a man."

"Time for the 2nd spin" Brian pressed the button once more.

This time abilities ranged from manipulating time to a normal punch (Saitama). Some unique and interesting talents like the ability to open any locks.

Wheel once again glowed like a sun, but Brian already had his eyes closed so it didn't matter.

Brian opened his eyes to a stopped wheel, regaining his vision much faster than last time, he saw the pin was pointing to something called "Dojutsu Switching."

Brian didn't get what this meant, could this be the ability to switch between the dojutsu he already has or it could switch between everything?

won't that be a bit too OP. "What is this?" Brian asked just to be sure, but GOD did not answer, instead asked him to spin again.

Brian did as he was told and pressed the button without looking at the options on the wheel.

The wheel stopped at "Anti-Theft(passive): the ability to stop any form of theft."

Brian saw the ability and got a bit annoyed, "I'd already be as strong as Kaguya, who exactly would have the ability to steal from me?"

"I don't like when the blessed ones question the wheel of fate, you are getting a chance only a select few get, and yet you complain more than those who do not," GOD said in a furious tone.

"So to teach you a lesson in humility, I'll be putting in a little restriction.

1:) Kekkei Mora will all be locked initially except for Byakugan.

2:) You have to unlock these powers (Kekkei Mora).

3:) Third eye aka Rinne-Sharringan would require you to reach Hashirama's level of chakra control.

4:) All others require special conditions you must explore yourself."

The GOD told each rule with a playful expression. feeling lazy to explain all conditions he added the 4th rule.

"Thank you," Brian said with reverence and satisfaction.

"Off you go", GOD gestured as if chasing a fly.

Light enveloped the entire room and Brian disappeared from the room.

"Is that... a baby?"

A stout man wearing metallic armguards squinted through the misty air. His eyes widened in disbelief as he took in the sight before him.

The peak of the Hidden Cloud Village, usually reserved for strategic meetings and solitary contemplation, now bore an unusual sight... a baby wrapped in a towel.
