Yup. Not dead, Anywho, sorry for such a long wait to those who still remember me haha. I don't really have an excuse, because lets face it, anyone could write if they wanted to at any point in time. Unless something incredibly drastic happens like losing their arm, being evicted from their home, losing their internet to have the ability to post or something along those lines.

Anyway, just letting you know, this is a prologue to "Ninja: The Game" and as you could have guessed it, the main character of the story is the Naruto I use within all my "Ninja" story varients.

So yeah, expect a full chapter not too long into the future revolving around Naruto being a game character.

Also, pre-warning. I will NOT be putting a party system in this story, it genuinely annoys the crap out of me when I read Naruto letting anyone else in on the gamer functions since it kind of derives the point of his world being a game character.

So yeah. If you wanted a party system to pop up sometime… Yeah no… Not happening, sorry.

Alongside that, there will be a few changes here and there throughout the story, so I hope you all enjoy it, at least the prologue at the moment, and I hope to hear some reviews of what people want and or expect within the story.

Note, this world will be different from the original "Ninja: Civilian shinobi" so it will be a variant, same Naruto, different world/circumstances.

So yep. Sit back and enjoy the very brief prologue that only spans of few hundred words. Which is incredibly short compared to my usual chapters being between 4000 – 7000 thousand words. Anyway, enjoy this peak into the new fanfic.

"No… This isn't happening… This shit is not happening… By kami this shit isn't happening." Muttered a voice full of dread and confusion, as the owner of said voice was simply staring directly ahead of himself, continuing the mantra revolving around "This isn't real" And "this is not happening." Over and over whilst he looked towards what appeared to be a single blue floating box floating directly in front of his face.

On the blue box, black letters had adorn the rectangular object, making the contrast between the box and text easily noticeable and viewable to the person who was staring directly at it.

Name: Naruto Hayabusa

Class: The Gamer

Title: Academy Student

Level: 1

HP: 1000

Chakra: 500

Gritting his teeth in annoyance, the black haired teen threw his arm across the floating blue object, before watching his admittedly small arm, something he noticed almost instantly, phase through the object.

"What the hell." Muttered the black haired shinobi as he finally looked around his surroundings before widening his eyes in shock.

"I'm… Back in the orphanage?" Muttered the teen, now child in a state of brief shock, before glancing down towards his blanket covered form.

"What's going on here?" Muttered Naruto in a look of both awe and curiosity as he slowly lifted his right arm up to his face, from which he then got a close up view of his now much smaller, and admittedly chubbier, arm.

Lowering his arm back down towards his bedding, the black haired shinobi grabbed the hem of his plain blue blanket, taking a brief moment to draw in a slight breathe of air, before giving it, the hem of the blanket, a massive tug, sending it flying over his form to reveal…

… A set of two small child like legs hidden beneath loose grey sleeping pants…

"No…" Muttered Naruto, now ignoring the blue screen as he flipped his legs over his bed in a hefty manner, before pushing himself down onto the cold hard wooden floor, wincing slightly as his bare feet touched onto the wooden surface, before looking all around the room he found himself in, before noting the rather blank and plain white coloured walls of his orphanage room.

"My what a pleasure it was to see hospital white walls for the majority of my life." Grumbled the teen dryly before continuing his observation of his location.

However, as he was looking around the room, he finally found what exactly he had been looking for during his brief search of the room. There, propped up in the corner of the room closest to the rooms entry, laid a full length mirror.

Slowly walking up towards the mirror, Naruto took in a slight breathe of air for a single moment once more, before moving himself in front of the mirror…

And when he did? He promptly passed out, his head smacking against the floor not moments after his eyes shut.
