Chapter 1: Chapter 1 :Prologue
Prologue: A New Life Begins
Darkness. Silence. Then, suddenly—pain.
It wasn't a dull ache or a simple headache. No, this was different—like his skull was being split open, his brain torn apart and stitched back together all at once. A wave of nausea hit him as flashes of unfamiliar memories surged through his mind.
His eyes snapped open.
A sharp gasp tore from his throat as he bolted upright, his breath ragged, chest heaving. His hands—smaller, softer—gripped the sheets beneath him as he tried to steady himself. The world around him felt too real, too solid. The faint scent of wood, the warmth of sunlight filtering through rice-paper windows, the distant chirping of birds—it was all real.
And yet, it shouldn't have been.
Because the last thing he remembered was lying in bed, in his old life, scrolling through fan theories about Naruto.
A shiver ran down his spine.
Slowly, he looked down at his hands—too small, too delicate. His body—short, youthful. His reflection in the polished wooden wall revealed golden-blond hair and piercing blue eyes—features that stood out starkly from the typically dark-haired Senju bloodline. But somehow, he knew—deep in his bones, in his very soul—who he was.
His name was Kiyoshi Senju.
And he had been reborn in the world of shinobi.
"Shit…" he muttered under his breath, flinching at the unfamiliar softness of his voice. He clenched his hands, feeling the warmth of his own skin, the undeniable reality of his existence. This wasn't a dream.
This was his new life.
And then—
[DING!]
A bright, translucent blue screen blinked into existence before his eyes.
---
[Welcome to the Daily Gacha System!]
Kiyoshi froze.
His brain, already struggling to process his reincarnation, nearly short-circuited.
---
[As a transmigrator, you have been blessed with a Gacha Machine! You may spin once per day for random rewards, ranging from common to god-tier!]
[Would you like to spin now?]
---
He blinked. Once. Twice.
Then, realization slammed into him like a Rasengan to the chest.
A system?!
A gacha system?!
A slow, almost disbelieving grin spread across his face.
He had hit the jackpot.
The Naruto world was dangerous—no, downright deadly. Monsters, wars, rogue shinobi, power-hungry clans—it was a place where the weak didn't survive. And yet, here he was, born into one of the strongest bloodlines, with a cheat-like system at his fingertips.
His heart pounded. If this system was as powerful as he hoped, he could change everything.
"…Spin," he whispered, his fingers tingling with anticipation.
At his command, a golden roulette wheel materialized in front of him. It spun rapidly, symbols of jutsu, weapons, bloodline abilities, and mysterious artifacts flashing by in a blur. The glow of the wheel reflected in his wide, eager eyes.
Then—slowly—it began to slow down.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick—
[Congratulations! You have obtained: Chakra Affinity Booster (Permanent) – Instantly grants the user a 5x boost in chakra growth rate!]
Kiyoshi's breath hitched.
Five times the chakra growth?!
That was insane. Chakra determined everything for a shinobi—stamina, power, longevity in battle. The larger the chakra reserves, the greater the potential. This wasn't just a good start. This was a game-breaking advantage.
A slow smirk stretched across his young face.
This world had no idea what was coming.
