It was another average day for the young Uzumaki Naruto. He woke up starving, since he hadn't eaten in
days, so he tried to go out and find some food. All that was in his kitchen was old sour milk and
jungle bread. He would have some instant ramen, but the last time some one broke into his apartment
they pissed in all his cups of instant ramen.

After his futile search for food around his house Naruto resorted to plan B. Plan B was scrounging
around the alleyways and dumpsters for edible food. After around an hour of searching the best spots
Naruto got lucky, he found a half eaten protein meal, and a barely drank bottle of water. Both were
probably thrown away by a spoiled child. While eating his heaven sent meal Naruto started on the next
part of his day's schedule.

He started pranking. Naruto loved pranking mean people of the village, for a few different reasons. 1.
As a means of trainings, and. 2. As a way to vent and give his meaningless life a bit of happiness. He
usually pranked the drunk ninja and the elderly, because they were the ones who made his life the most
miserable. Both of those groups would abuse Naruto physically and psychologically. Middle aged folk
and most people sixteen and under simply ignored Naruto. Though some of the kids did try to bully
Naruto.

For that day's pranks Naruto didn't do anything special, he replaced a certain bar's alcohol stores
with piss infused water. One wouldn't think that would work on trained ninja, but when someone is
drunk enough they don't notice the difference in smell. Against the elderly Naruto didn't do something
quite as hateful, no matter what Naruto did like Elderly people, and truthfully he didn't like being
mean to them. However, Naruto was a prideful boy, he didn't appreciate being mentally abused, so
Naruto would do some pranks on particularly mean oldies. That day Naruto took a bunch of Granny's
panties and spread them through out the village, he figured it was innocent enough while still being
embarrassing.

After getting his daily dose of " trapping " and " stealth " training, Naruto returned to his home.
Once home Naruto picked a book out of his secret stache. His stache consisted entirely of books given
to him by his surrogate grandfather, Hiruzen Sarutobi, also known as The Hokage. There were twenty or
so in the the stache and they all had to be hidden away otherwise they would be destroyed when someone
broke into his house. For the most part the books were stories of legendary ninja, some real, some
not, there were also some beginner ninja books. Naruto's favorite of the story books was the one of
the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Naruto's favorite part of the man though was funnily enough his
wife. She was also an Uzumaki, she loved ramen, she was drop dead gorgeous, and she had Kage level
strength. Honestly if she around his age, or alive, Naruto would definitely try to befriend her.

That day Naruto didn't pick up one of his story books however, instead he picked up one of the
beginner ninja books. Specifically he chose the book " Beginner Chakra Theory and Chakra Control ".
Catchy. Obviously the book featured a couple different chakra control exercises such as leaf sticking
and tree walking, but the book also talked about chakra theory. Naruto already knew every detail of
the chakra control chapters, so he skipped straight to the chakra theory.

Naruto read through the worn pages intently, making sure he hadn't missed something from the dozen
other times he'd read those very words.

' Since being spread the Sage of Six Paths, chakra has become a form of life energy that all living
beings produce to some degree; those who run out of chakra will die. Produced within the "chakra
coils" that mainly surround and connect to each chakra-producing organ, the energy circulates
throughout the body in a network called the "Chakra Pathway System", which is similar to the
cardiovascular system. Certain groups, such as shinobi, have learned to generate more chakra and
release it outside their bodies through pressure points called tenketsu in order to perform jutsu.

Chakra is created when two other forms of energy, known collectively as one's "stamina", are molded
together. Physical energy is collected from each and every one of the body's cells and can be
increased through training, stimulants, and exercise. Spiritual energy, is derived from the mind's
consciousness and can be increased through studying, meditation, and experience. These two energies
becoming more powerful will in turn make the created chakra more powerful. Therefore, practicing a
technique repeatedly will build up experience, increasing one's spiritual energy, and thus allowing
more chakra to be created. As a result, the ninja is able to do that same technique with more power.
This same cycle applies for physical energy, except the ninja needs to increase their endurance
instead. Some unique individuals have substantial potential that enable them to exponentially increase
their chakra reserves in a relatively short amount of time.

At any given time, a ninja will have a "maximum" amount of chakra that they can form and use before it
runs out and they need to rest to replenish it. With practice this maximum can be increased, but to a
certain extent as they are limited to the quantity and strength of chakra that their genetics grants
them.

Each person's chakra is different and as such gives off a unique chakra signature, which sensor type
ninja are able to detect. Chakra signatures are passed genetically, allowing a person's clan to be
identified by their chakra; over time, entire populations can have perceptibly different chakra. One's
chakra signature can be altered by absorbing DNA from multiple people, mixing various chakra
signatures together to become a whole new one. Each person's chakra also has a unique "color" that can
be seen by those with dōjutsu. Even if they are separated, changes made in the chakra signature of the
original will result in the separated chakra mimicking those changes.

While practically all types of jutsu require chakra to be performed, taijutsu does not; stamina is all
that is needed. While the ninja still needs a set amount of chakra to live, regular taijutsu doesn't
require any active molding or manipulation of chakra, with few exceptions. A standard attack like a
punch or kick falls into this technique category.

After re-reading the chapters for the umpteenth time Naruto went onto the next part of his daily
schedule. That being physical training. The young blond had picked up physical training after reading
his chakra theory book, and another book about the benefits of physical training. Naruto had always
had a fairly strong physique being able to match people multiple years older then him, and being able
to easily out last adults in stamina.

To start his physical training Naruto went to the roof of his apartment and stripped down to his
underwear. He wasn't scared of being seen since nobody else lived in the building. Naruto's training
usually consisted of stretching and yoga before moving onto strength training. He would also increase
his mental energy by meditating and connecting with nature. He would often combine both, meditating
while doing yoga. That day he did just that.

Through out his stretches and yoga Naruto oh so slowly entered a meditative state. He felt nothing, he
thought nothing, he was nothing. Least that was his mind, his body was still moving. Specifically it
was doing push-ups. After his push-ups was sit-ups after push-ups was squats and then last but not
least was strength training using boulders. When Naruto was about to start running in place he was
awoken from his state by rumblings in the air. While he was working out he hadn't noticed dark clouds
flying in.

Naruto excitedly grinned and lied down on a piece of wood. The wood was a bench to do bench presses.

While still breathing heavily Naruto awaited the impending rain fall. A few minutes was all it took
for Naruto's wish to come true. The rain came down and embraced the Earth like the cold soft embrace
of Mother Death embracing a new soul.

Feeling the soft rain Naruto feel into a depressing delusion of a mother lightly reprimanding her son.
Naruto would often fall into such happy fantasies of a loving family. Rain often made him think of a
mother. A hot summer made him think of an older brother or sister, and darkness a father. One of the
reasons Naruto started meditating was because being in nature made him fall into such fantasies.

In his dream he was fantasizing of a woman no younger then twenty no older than thirty; she was
reprimanding likely for him pulling a prank; in the background was an indistinct figure who was
clearly a man, even though he was indistinct one could see him barely holding in laughter. The rain
was his mother, while the indistinct father figure was represented by the impending night.

While dreaming Naruto didn't notice lightning flowing in the clouds above similar to a snake in grass.
The lightning didn't disperse instead flowing around as though looking for a target somewhere on the
Earth. After a few minutes it seemed to have found one in a certain blond haired orphan.

The strike of lightning came down fast and unexpectedly, it was like a guillotine baring down on a
neck. The bolt striked down directly on the seal that had a certain demon fox captive. It didn't do
any damage, it did however insert a strange force into Naruto's body. In the outside world time had
stopped it, inside of the young man's mental space it flowed quickly and evenly however.

Inside young Naruto's a voice spoke out that could have made war veterans shiver in fear.

" Hmm, oh, a soul, I haven't had one in years. "

At that moment a nine tailed demon fox showed it self. It suddenly swallowed up the previously unknown
energy. The fox then spoke up again.

" Yum! Send me another, hehehe. "

Before it could laugh anymore a voice spoke out. It sounded like an amused grandfather watching his
playing grandchildren.

" Ho, ho, what an unusual situation. "

The Kyuubi instantly became defensive. Hair bristled, ears pulled back, swishing tails, the whole nine
yards.

" Who are you‽ Show your self! "

" Oh settle down fox. If I was going to do something I would of already done it. "

The Kyuubi realized that he was truthful so it settled down and said.

" Then at least show yourself, please. "

At that moment the young Naruto who had been laying on the floor knocked out from the influx of
memories, from the soul; spoke up.

" Where am I? What's going on? "

The young bot was surprisingly calm considering the situation he was in. Unknown place, giant demon
fox, disembodied voice, you know, things that would make children freak out normally. The Kyuubi spoke
out in a soft voice.

" I am the kyuubi, I am the reason that you are so hated. "

Naruto didn't say anything just staring at the massive demon fox. His stare was so impassive and
emotionless that the fox became slightly unnerved. No child should have such a stare. Eventually
Naruto sighed an said.

" And? "

" And, what? "

" And, why am I here, where am I, why are you the reason I am hated. "

" Oh, alright hehehe. I guess I'll start from the beginning. So four years ago I was minding my own
business laying around in my den at that time. All of a sudden some dastardly villain came and tried
to trick me. After I beat on him a little bit he tricked me into looking at his eye's. His eye's known
as Sharingan were able to just barely put me in a Genjutsu, only because I was so leisurely. Anyway
long story short I was forced to attack your village where your father fought me. After a real battle
he used an extremely powerful Seal that called upon the Shinigami. In return for me being sealed
inside of you your father had his soul taken by the Shinigami. Since then I have been watching your
memories like they were a television. And I'd like to say I'm truly sorry Naruto. I should have never
let down my guard, but over the years I became arrogant. I . . . "

During the entire explanation neither Naruto or the disembodied voice spoke, but when he heard the fox
start to apologize he stuck his hand up.

" No need to apologize, it's clearly not your fault. I don't blame either you or my father for my
rough life. If anything I blame the villagers or that " Dastardly Villain. ". So please don't
apologize. "

" . . . "

" . . . "

Naruto, the fox, and the disembodied voice had a staring contest, though neither Naruto or the Kyuubi
didn't know they were battling the voice. Eventually Naruto broke and said.

" Alright what? Nobody's speaking. "

" It's just, I don't know, I expected you you to be angrier. Maybe cry, I don't know I just didn't
think you would be so calm and accepting. "

" Would you rather I run around screaming and freaking out. "

" It would make sense. "

" Whatever. "

The Kyuubi was surprised by her host's teenager like attitude. It seemed his recently gained memories
were already influencing him. At that moment the disembodied voice spoke out.

" Then I guess it's my turn to explain. I am a God, and I am playing, basically I am using your
universe. You see many Gods will entertain themselves by taking souls from Type B universes. We will
then insert that soul in a Type A universe, usually with a special power of some sort. "

" Type A? Type B? "

" Type B universe are universes without any special type of energy. Your universe is a Type A universe
because it has Chakra. There are also Type C universes, but those are basically uninhabitable
wastelands. Last but not least are God universes, those are basically the universes where Gods like
myself live. "

" Why do you play the game then, shouldn't Gods be omni-potent? "

" No, we're definitely not omni-potent. God's are basically beings who have a certain amount of power
while also having control over a certain aspect of the universes. I personally control reincarnation,
one of the more complicated aspects. That little fox you have sealed away is a Demi-God, she controls
rage and destruction. Both are extremely powerful aspects. Might I add that it is very rare two have
control over two aspects of the universes. Once she reaches the God level she'll easily be one of the
strongest. Oh before I forget you can just call me GoR. "

While the fox was busy looking arrogant, Naruto had shining stars in his eyes. It seemed that no
matter what type of life he lived nothing could suppress his true nature.

" THAT IS SO COOL! I HAVE A GOD TRAPPED IN MY STOMACH! "

" Settle down Naruto, I'm not done yet. "

Naruto took a few deep breaths to return to his previously calm state.

" ' Sigh ' Alright, alright, I'm settle. "

The Kyuubi and the God of Reincarntion were clearly amused by Naruto barely restraining his
excitement.

" Anyway you should have been posseseed by the soul I summoned. He would have gained all of you
memories, then using the power I gave him he would excel in your world. However that has backfired, I
didn't account for the demon fox in your gut. So now you have gained his memories and the power I gave
him. I'll tell you now that I will take most of those memories, however I will allow you to choose two
sets to keep. You can keep any set of his memories, whether they be about his universe or your own.
Maths, agriculture, anything I don't really care. I will also allow you to keep the power. "

Hearing all of that Naruto pouted at the Kyuubi, not that she was the one that broke the bad news:
just that she was the only one he could use his Puppy Dog Eye's Jutsu on. The Kyuubi who had been
minding her own business instantly stiffened up, she tried looking away, but the eyes drew her in. It
seemed ever a being of pure rage and destruction couldn't handle the legendary jutsu.

" ALRIGHT! STOP! Please? GoR is there anyway you could concede something? "

" Hhmmm, I guess I will give you a Max Level Skill. I'll have the skill inserted in your system. "

" Sweet! . . . What's a system. "

" Systems are an up-and-coming power in the game. They are unique, diverse, and plain entertaining.
You'll be able to learn more about them from your new memories, if you choose to keep them. The system
I have given you is called the Hardwork System. The harder you work the more benefits you'll get. The
system despite being basic has the potential to be extremely OP ( Over Powered ). While I'm at it I
guess I can explain your skill to you. The skill is called meditation and it can help you in a variety
of ways. It can help build chakra, better you chakra control, and even train your elemental affinity.
Anyway get to work Boy-o take all the time you need since time is stopped. "

Naruto didn't even react to the fact that time had stopped. Instead he quickly started to immerse
himself in the memories of his invader. The soul that had invaded his own was that of a young man who
was around 30 years old, twenty-eight to be exact. He was something of a recluse, preferring to stay
home and read than to spend time with other people. He had always been quite the reader growing up,
able to read fairly well at the age of six. Well into his adult life he had would read instead of
spending time with other people. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed money to live he would have
been content being a non-religious hermit. His repetitive daily life was, wake up, read, eat, shower,
go to work, come home, eat, read, sleep. The only thing the young soul could use to try and relate
with other people was his love of music. While Naruto was going over the memories he couldn't for the
life of him understand why GoR had decided on that young man.

One thing that did surprise Naruto was when he came across an anime describing what could have been
his life story. When he came across it he instantly spent days watching the anime. Not needing to eat
or sleep really helped him binge. He would laugh and cry while watching, he also heckled himself
considerably over his " love " of that Sakura bitch. What confused the young boy was how watered down
the anime seemed to be of his life. When he asked GoR the old man explained the how there were likely
an infinite number of universes each one different. After having finished the anime Naruto still in a
bingy mood scrounged for anything to satiate his needs. Right when he was about to despair he
discovered FanFiction, glorious beautiful FanFictions.

Naruto instantly devolved into a mindless zombie that read whatever he could get his hands on. He
probably could of made his invader cringe from his no-lifeness. Naruto fell in love with the different
universes that were written down in a book format. He especially loved the harem fanfictions since
they really stroked his ego. Though unfortunately for him he wasn't allowed to read any Lemons or he
would get punished by the Kyuubi. He couldn't even sneak any since they were in his mental space,
meaning she or GoR could know what he was going over at anytime.

It was like that that Naruto spent years going over all of the memories his invader had had to offer.
And while his body didn't show any growth, his mind did. Naruto had turned from a mature young man
into a hermit of a pre-teen. Just a really short one. Honestly even with the entertainment Naruto
would have become insane if it wasn't for the Kyuubi and GoR always keeping him company.

" So why was this guy so obsessed with boobs? Personally I prefer butts or the beaver. "

" NARUTO! I told you to stay away from those memories. "

" I know Kyuubi, it's just, I've already gone over all of the other memories. '

" . . . Does that mean you are ready to choose your memories? "

" ' Sigh ' I take it you can't count all of memories as one group? "

" Sorry son, I tried everything, but there was nothing to be done. Maybe if I had a different God's
Domain instead of Reincarnation. "

" It's cool, I've made my decision. The memories I want are . . . "
