The first thing I remember is darkness, Yami in my new tongue, I was just floating in a strange void, listening to a steady beating sound coming from all around me, it was strange, but calming at the same time. Who am I? Where am I? I wanted to ask but I could only rest.
The next thing I remember is a green screen popping up from the middle of nowhere nearly blinding me.
Welcome to Shinobi: New Fate You have been selected for a new chance at life in a world unlike your own, would you like to accept?

'Huh, what's that?' the screen is odd, honestly, it reminded me of Fallout a little, the shades of green are right, it has the lined background even, it's actually a little suspicious how similar they are. Even as these thoughts ran through my head I could only answer 'yes' and that's all it took to change everything.

'It really is like Fallout' I thought as I looked over the stats, the special system is one I'm more familiar with than I would honestly like to admit but that just made the choices simple, Intelligence is a dump stat, Luck is only useful for caps but that doesn't really fit my playstyle, Charisma is my favourite stat being useful in so many situations, strength is good for carrying weight so keeping that the same, perception is needed for VATS so definitely taking a few points in that, endurance can take a small hit, and agility will be boosted. I'm probably going to be going for a sniper, safest bet for keeping myself safe from harm, well, direct harm at least.

My final statistics may not be the most 'optimal' or impressive but they should get me through the day, just need to worry about caps but selling things should be more than enough. My luck might be a pain and my intelligence might not be the greatest but I feel like I can manage it well enough, it's just a stat after all. 'yes'.

Something is wrong here, those aren't the fallout skills, Ninjutsu? Taijutsu? Genjutsu? Those are Naruto things, things that don't belong in a fallout game, 'wait, didn't this call itself Shinobi: New Fate', oh, my, God this is a Naruto world, that's horrible... What do I do? Madara, Pein, the nine tails, Orochimaru, all of them could kill me without a second thought, no scratch that they could kill me without even having to think, I'm little more than an ant to them. On the other hand, It's Naruto I can be a ninja, a real one! Idly I accept these skills, the tagged ones should be okay for what I want.
Please select your traits!
Built to Destroy- The Ninja that burns twice as bright lives half as long!
Ninjutsu does 10% extra damage but uses 25% more Chakra
Four eyes- Your eyes aren't quite up to snuff, luckily this can be fixed!
-1 to perception whilst not wearing glasses, +1 perception whilst wearing glasses.
Small Frame- Your small but your fast!
+1 to agility but your limbs become crippled 25% easier
Elemental solo act- Your great at your element of choice, who needs the others?
+15% to learning your element of choice, -15% to other elements.
Those traits are definitely different... But I honestly can't say they are useless, small frame and four eyes are from fallout games and I could choose them, they increase my stats by a fair amount but... I hate crippled limbs they are annoying and I've broken my wrist back before all this and it's horrible. Elemental solo act is a good choice if I want to specialise in a specific element and four eyes increases my perception a fair amount.
You have selected Elemental Solo Act and Four Eyes

This should be fine right? Yeah it will be fine, 'yes'.
Choose your elemental affinity! Fire Water Earth Wind Lightning
I can choose my affinity?That's surprising I thought it would be random if I'm being honest. Fire is what Konoha has and Sasuke does it with a bonus of lightning, Naruto has a wind affinity, earth and water isn't really shown the most but if I want to be unique or renowned for my Jutsu then I'll have choose one, earth seems like a defensive thing compared to others if common culture is to be believed so that leaves, 'water'
You have chosen Water, Now select your spawn point!
Kumo
Kiri
Iwa
Suna
Konoha
Mystery option
A mystery option? That's either really good or really bad, I could end up in Sound with Orochimaru for all I know. Mystery is cool and all but my luck isn't the best and I would probably end up in a place where I would die within my first week. Konoha, while I know what I would be getting into I don't want to cause any butterflies that would make my future knowledge useless, Iwa hates Konoha and focuses on earth jutsu which isn't really my style, Kiri focuses on water jutsu which would be good but they kill bloodline users and is in the middle of a civil war so that's a good chance at death, that leaves Kumo, they are one of the more militaristic and focus on lightning jutsu but they are my best chance at a safe life, I think.
You have selected Kumo, Character creation is complete, good luck in your new life Yuya Hamasaki!
Wait who? Is that my name now? It looks Japanese enough to fit in at least, no idea what it means, Japanese names have meanings don't they? It was about then that the pain began, I was being crushed and pulled, the safe void that I was in vanished in the blink of an eye, now I was too hot and too cold, cover in something I don't even want to think about as I was pulled from my safe space in the worst way imaginable, my existence was pain and suffering for those long hours and in the end, all I could hear were screams coming from mouths not my own.
I later learned that I had just been born but after a lot of screaming I fell into a deep sleep only hearing the faint titbits of hushed conversation every now then.
"...quiet... Mother?"
"...Gone..." there was a long pause
"he has..."
"Like... Father?" the voice seemed shocked, I wasn't quite sure why.
"...do with him?"
"...cant put him..."
"...no relatives..."
They seem to be talking about me, am I am orphan? I can't help but feel my luck has something to do with this, I wonder how my parents died. I wonder if they were ninja, maybe they died protecting a village from enemy ninja? With that final thought, I rested, maybe I would find out later.
A/N hello there this is my first venture into this style of fanfiction, I enjoy reading Gamer style fanfiction and whilst I do enjoy them I feel like the same state in every fanfiction gets stale after a while, so I chose to use the fallout system, I did actually create a draft using Skyrim logic but I feel this one works better. Please review or follow if you enjoy though if you don't that's fine :).
