Life had been terrible since birth and I had seen hope for once in my life as things seemed t be getting better but then everything went down the drain.

I regret being weak and I regret ever stepping out of my home, it would have been better if I had been smart enough to know that or just smart enough to end it before I could cause harm to someone else but I was not and I could only wish everything was okay as I died with regrets.

It all went downhill on that day, it was a month since I left with Jiraiya on the training trip but I had learned nothing new. I pestered him but he did not take it seriously, I don't know why but he was not the teacher type was what I had concluded in the long time.

Even then I was happy with him unlike with Kakashi as he spent time with me like a family would that is what I assumed and I was pacified with just that simple thing. We did many things that I had wished from childhood when we passed a town and I acted like a child but I had forgotten in my innocent demeanor that the world was cruel and that it never cared for what we wanted.

The Akatsuki attacked when I was doing taijutsu training with Jiraiya, they took me down in one hit and I watched as the one with Uchiha eyes easily brought down my master. I watched in disbelief as any move done just passed through him and he mocked my master for being weak, in less than 1 minute we had been taken down.

I was then chained in some cave or some place that I have no idea of, for many months and I passed the days alone as I stared at my master who was chained on the other wall. I had wished to go berserk and borrow the power of the Kyuubi but they had sealed my chakra and they had my only family, I could bring myself to do it as they would kill him.

The only consolation of such a tragedy was that I learned of my heritage and we talked like nothing was wrong. Master tried his best to make me forget what kind of situation we were in and made the best of the situation, he hadn't given up but the enemy was stronger than he could have imagined.

I don't know how long had passed but Master said I was 13 now, so I guess 4 months since that day. I was brought to in front of a giant statue and I knew I would die as Kurama had told me what was happening. He had come clean and talked to me and told me about his regrets, though he still never acknowledged me and called me weak but he did say I was a nice guy.

I died in a really painful manner as the gates of the seal were ripped open and Kurama was dragged by chains from the ugly beast's mouth. I fell to the floor, powerless and my vision went dark fast as my soul had been weakened and my vitality had been drained completely.

The only thing I hoped was that nothing will go wrong but even If I was stupid in many matters, I still had common sense and I knew that the world was doomed. I felt responsible and guilty for it but nothing I could do but wish for a miracle to happen.

Naruto opened his eyes expecting to be with his parents or something but all he could see was disgusting insects around him.

'Why am I surrounding by centipedes?'

'No, why is my body not human?' Naruto questioned as he realized that he was also similar to the rest of the insects

'Is this the punishment for my mistake or a chance to fix it all?' Naruto thought and decided it was a chance to fix it all

'Now, where am I? I can feel my chakra but it is miniscule but at least better than nothing. Even If this is a second chance, how am I supposed to win with such a weak body?'

'This is worse than my original by a long shot.' Naruto mused as he suppressed his disgust but it was unbearable once one of the centipedes in this hole climbed over him

'Shit, this is so wrong.' Naruto screamed inside his head as he shook it off and attacked it with his tail enhanced by his chakra

The centipede was sliced it two from the attack but it made the situation really bad for Naruto as the others noticed, it seems they were a swarm that didn't attack each other and he just broke the order.

Before they could do anything, Naruto enhanced his body with chakra and rushed out of the hole while blasting through any enemy that got in his way. Naruto stopped after a minute as he was far enough and he didn't want to exhaust his chakra but that wasn't what had his attention.

'Level up to 5'

'Pain resistance level 1'

'Strength LV 2'

'Agility LV 2'

'Is this a game?' Naruto questioned as he heard the announcement and decided to check but no screen opened

'Okay I might be going crazy or I just don't have that convenient screen so let me see if I get an announcement by killing more.' Naruto decided as he had nothing else to do and this might be the hope he was looking for.

Naruto decided to walk cautiously and look for easy foe's and finally came upon a lizard type thing. It was standing on two feet instead of using four and Naruto decided to go for the kill, he enhanced the body to an acceptable level and cut its head off with his scissor type mouth.

'Level 6'

'Assassin Title'

'Paralysis attack LV 4'

'Okay, so I am like a game character and my natural poison seems to be paralysis type. This is good, I can do this. I have a chance to fix it and I just need to kill more monsters.' Naruto thought and he felt his motivation soar while he looked away from the negative thoughts

'The skill levels up more I use it so let me just repeat my actions to level it up and thankfully my chakra control is now leagues better without Kurama's chakra mixing with mine.' Naruto said in his head as he decided to use the basic clone jutsu and just like that with one try it was done

"Finally I have done it." Naruto muttered as he heard the announcement of Illusion magic LV 1

Before he could continue, Naruto felt hungry and his chakra was already low now so he needed to recover.

'Do I have to eat this?' Naruto questioned as he looked at the lizard and forced himself to feat on it as he knew more sacrifices had to be made for his dream

After he was done, Naruto lay down in a hole he dug and tried to recover his chakra.

'Chakra recovery up LV1'
