Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Rebirth in the Shinobi World
The End of One Life… and the Beginning of Another
In the endless void, a strange sensation washed over Ren. There was no pain, no fear—just an empty abyss surrounding him.
"Did… I die?"
His last memories were of his ordinary life in the modern world. He wasn't special, just a regular young man living a simple life. But now… something was different.
Suddenly, a glowing blue screen appeared before him:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[AFK System Activated]
Searching for a new environment…
New world found: Naruto.
Reincarnation process in progress…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Wait, what? Naruto?!"
Before he could process the information, an unseen force pulled him downward. His very existence seemed to be reshaped.
Then, in an instant, his eyes opened. He found himself lying in a dark alley.
The air was cold, and the place seemed abandoned. His body felt small—like that of a ten-year-old child.
He looked at his trembling hands and then at his reflection in a small puddle of water. His new appearance: messy black hair and gray eyes. It wasn't a face he recognized, but it was definitely his now.
A new screen popped up:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[User Data]
Name: Ren
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Status: Orphan (Civilian)
Location: Konoha – Slums
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Great… this isn't ideal."
Being a civilian meant he wouldn't have access to ninja resources easily. But he wasn't discouraged—the system was his key to power.
A new notification appeared:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[AFK Feature Activated]
Earn experience points while resting or sleeping.
Every hour of inactivity grants 1% of the required EXP for the next level.
Growth rate depends on the surrounding environment.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"So I can grow stronger even while sleeping? That's insane!"
But there was more. Another system prompt appeared:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[Copy System]
Level 1: Can copy basic physical movements.
Level 2: Can copy basic taijutsu.
Level 3: Can copy low-level ninjutsu.
Level 4: Can copy chakra nature and elemental techniques.
Level 5: Can copy Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Abilities).
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"The ability to copy anything? This is broken!"
However, he noticed that his current abilities were extremely weak. He would have to start from the bottom and build up his strength slowly.
First Step – Survival
The first thing Ren did was look for shelter. He had no home, and hunger was already gnawing at him.
He recalled that Konoha had an orphanage system, so he made his way there. The conditions were harsh, but at least he had a roof over his head and food to survive.
That night, as he lay on his bed, another notification appeared:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[AFK Feature Activated]
Experience gained while sleeping: +2 Chakra Control, +1 Speed, +1 Intelligence.
