ULTIMATE MAELSTROM
Birth of The Maelstrom
White. The only thing I saw was white. It was like the world itself was swallowed by white. There was nothing. Not a damm thing. No elements, no gravity, no people no nothing. It was like I was trapped between life and death. Life is not letting me go while death is not welcoming me.
'Where am I?' I thought
…
…..
START
'Huh...?'
'Okay...'
Ping.
Your previous life's memory have been removed.
Necessary memories have been kept.
…
….
Memory alteration complete.
'What the hell is going on?' I thought
"Am I dreaming?" I said "wait...is this my voice….I can't remember"
I tried to remember my name, age, anything….but it's all blank, I can't remember.
I looked around, but there is nothing, just a black void.
I started to panic….but I somehow couldn't, Am I dead?
"My name….WHAT THE HELL IS MY NAME" I thought out loud. But still couldn't remember.
"Dam it. I could use some help." I said, and then suddenly a box appeared in front of my face.
Name: Arashi
Race: Human?
'What the fuck' I thought, as I was surprised by the sudden popup in front of my face.
Wait...is this my name?
Huh…. No last name, maybe I'm an orphan or something and what's with the question marks on my race part?
Synchronization Complete.

"Yeh, 'Naruto' was that shows name, wait I can remember an anime but I can't remember myself." I said to myself.
"What the fuck is going on?"
…
…
Well, I guess only one way to find out.
So I selected Konohagakure.
I blinked, I didn't understand what was going on, and then another box popped up.
You have selected Konohagakure, Here is your status page, and your new life will begin when you finish the next section.
New life huh… Maybe I died in my previous one.
Well, that sucks! The first thing I know about my previous life is that there is a high possibility I'm dead.
()…()
"Who the fuck I'm kidding, I'm definitely dead," I said to myself. "Ok, might as well enjoy the second chance."

Origins:
Arashi was found on the entrance of Konoha orphanage when he was six months old, on 7th January. No one knows where did he came from, and their many mysteries behind his origins. He is been known to be a quiet child, but he also has a larger than life personality. !
After seeing my status I came to the conclusion, I'm way OP for an average six-year-old, and my origin story is messed up too.
Who the fucks leaves a six months old child in an orphanage. Some Mom and Dad they were.
Wait there is more.
Think or press the "!" button for more information.
I did just that on the 'hidden Title' part.

Fan-fucking-tastic.
To start your new life please think or press accept.
Accept
'Uh-huh, just the one option' I thought.
I accepted, the moment I did the world around me started to illuminate brightly and my eyes were forced closed.
I blinked immediately and got up, 'finally' I thought after I felt ground under my feet. I looked around the room I was in, it was old and dusty, and the walls were in poor condition. There were not many furniture's around except a bed and a small shelf for clothes.
I blinked and suddenly a memory came to me…, this was my room, but I never stepped foot in this room in my life.
Then I suddenly realized, 'Oh yeh, new life and stuff' I thought.
So I started to think…. 'So let's sum this up, whoever I was back in my world I died and reincarnated in the Narutoverse, somehow have the gamer abilities, I don't know anything about myself, this one or the previous one, all the memories I have from my world is all about anime, manga, comics, movies, books and not just storybooks but other books like math, science, geography and all that, so that's good at least….huh, for some reason this kinda info should make anybody panic….but just like before I can't seems to panic like that.' "Something seems to affect my mind whenever I started to feel panic and also that same thing is probably letting me think calmly," I said whispered to myself.
"Hmm" I was just about to go to my status bar, just then suddenly my room's door opened and a woman walked in, looking at her features I could easily say this woman was in her mid to late thirties.
She was wearing a light brown kimono, after seeing me she gave a soft smile, "Good morning Arashi, slept well?"
I blinked, I looked over her head, to my shock a name floated above her;
Koime Eto, Matron of Konoha orphanage
Level: 12
REP: 57
I gawked at the image before me, Koime began to look at me with a worried expression, "Arashi, are you alright?" before I could say anything she came close to me and started to hug me rubbing my back. "Did last night's storm scared you?" she asked.
I blinked "I-I…no, I'm fine, it's just…." I didn't know what to say, names don't float above anybody's head like that, even if I can't remember my who I really was, I know this for a fact.
"Don't worry the storm has passed, it's scarred all of us actually, now come on get up and get ready" she let me out the hug and smiled "come, get ready quickly breakfast will be served soon." Without another word, she walked out of my room.
I knew what she told me and what I had to do, I had to go to take a bath. I began to do just that, I grabbed my towel which was on my room's shelf.
Walking outside I immediately realized, I was surrounded by children, and I was one of them, a six-year-old child.
'Oh my God, it happened again' I was about to panic, but that thing kicked in and now I'm calm again.
I walked on the hallway looking around seeing kids, one kid was heading towards me, with towel on her shoulder, kids name was Masako if the floating name on her head is to be believed, and she grated me with a smile and waved, "Hey Arashi" with that I waved back and she continued, "Are you excited for tomorrow? We start our ninja training."

I blinked 'ok so this is like the RPG game I had memories of playing in my previous life' I accepted and the screen vanished immediately, so this was new.
After talking to Masako I went to the bathroom for a shower.
I walked in the bathroom and looked myself in the mirror in the bathroom. It would seem like I had black spike hair and cerulean blue eyes, my body was of an average kids with no baby fat to be seen and for a six-year-old, I was somehow 4ft 3in. Pulling way form the mirror I went to shower.
After the shower I went back to my room to put on some new clothes, I wore a deep blue three-quarter pant with a light red full-length t-shirt. It felt weird to wear such small clothes again, the clothes weren't small for my body but at the same time, it almost felt nostalgic to wore a kid's clothes again.
I walked out of my room and followed everyone else into a large dining hall. There were kids around my age gathered at the table excited for tomorrow. Many of them were talking about becoming a ninja.
I took some food for myself and sat down, Masako decided to join me. She started talking about her dream of how she wanted to be a great kunoichi like Tsunade. I mostly got bored and started listing to others. Some old kids were giving advice to the younger ones.
"So is it very difficult?"
"It is, I heard only half of the kid's passes."
"I heard last year only three students passed"
"No idiot, it's a three men cell, at least twenty people graduate every year"
I listened to them talk as I ate. I thought chopsticks would be difficult to use but it came as very easy to me.
As I kept listening to them like before a box popped up.
New skill acquired!

Level: 1
Ability to listen to someone else's conversation without them being aware of it. A very useful skill for ninjas to possess for information gathering.

I blinked 'well that's new' I thought to myself. If what I understand correctly I have a very interesting power indeed and OP too.
But wait it said skill, so that means do I have other skills too? Growing curious about this I whispered, "Skill list" and then a box appeared making my eyes widen in surprise.
"Did you said something Arashi?" Masako asked.
I blinked, "N-no nothing," I said eating my meal hoping she would ignore me.
On the box before me, it showed a menu list with all the skill I had, apparently, I had quite a few, and most of them were active.

I blinked, ok I need to check somethings out first. 'Menu' I thought, and just like that, another box appeared.
Main Menu:
Profile
Status
Skill List
Inventory
Quest Log
Perk List (Locked)
Character Database
Dungeon Dex (Locked)
Ok let's see here;
'My profile' has my name, race, clan, age, gender, allegiance and rank; 'My Status' has my level, HP, SP, CP, EP, RP, MP, control and all that with my status points and money; 'Skill List' just checked; 'Inventory' is empty; 'Quest Log' has one quest; 'Perk List' is locked; 'Character Database' has three entry 'Koime'; 'Masako' and me with my back story and what do I know about them with REP scores; And 'Dungeon Dex' is Locked.
Not gonna lie for a six-year-old my status is pretty op, I started to check all of the other kid's status and compared to them my status is really great.
I got another notification after a while seeing everyone's status.
New skill acquired!
Observation (0%)
Level: 1
Ability to learn about objects or person by observing them.
But all of their 'Control' is higher than mine, I guess my control is related to my 'CC' which is my second lowest status, first is my luck; which is '1' my luck sucks. But if I remember correctly chakra control is important for anyone, it determines how much chakra is being wasted.
Can't do anything about luck until I level up so I guess have to practice chakra control for now; 'Control' is how much chakra I can use without being wasted; hmm…make sense.
Ping.
Your INT has gone up by 1 for logically thinking.
I blinked as I look into my status, and sure enough;
STR: 20
VIT: 25
DEX: 15
CH.E.R.M: 15
CC: 5
INT: 31
LUC: 1
My 'INT' gone up by one for logical thinking, if that's the case, then all of my statuses can be increased if I train with them individually.

Ok, this is great.
But many of my statuses were locked, like my EP, RP, and MP. Maybe they get unlocked during the main quest.
"Hey Arashi, let's go play ninja outside," Masako said with an excited smile "it's our last day before becoming actual ninja let's have some fun."
"Aaahh…ok," I said to her, 'better get to know outside before tomorrow' I thought.
I quickly finished breakfast and went with her and all the children.
We want to the park with everyone else, on my way I started to see many people on the street of Konoha, many people had weird hair colour like blue and green. Natural or not I don't have a clue.
We reached the park, were every one with us stated to play the 'ninja' game, which was apparently was plain 'hide and seek' and I was the seeker or in their terms 'enemy ninja'. After finding them easily, thanks to their name floating above their heads. I went to the swing and sat on one of them and started to think.
I figured it would be best to figure out the timeline because I could see the Hokage monument and all the four heads on it, 'Now just need to figure out is it after Kyuubi went 'Just Cause' on this village or before?' I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice someone coming my way.
"Hey, can I play on the swing with you?" a boy asked.
This boy had spikey dirty blonde hair, his eye was azure blue and the most noticeable was his three pair of whisker marks on his cheeks. He was wearing a white colour t-shirt with an orange swirling symbol on its front side and dark brown full-length pants.
I didn't need to look at his name, I knew who he was, and now I also had my answer to my last question.
Naruto Uzumaki, Kyuubi Jinchuuriki
Level: 3
REP: 0
HP: 200/200
SP: 75/75
CP: 600/600
Control: 3%
I blinked and smiled at him, "Sure you can." I said, "come on, that one is free."
"R-really…?" he asked with hope in his eyes.
"Yeh, really," I said to him with pointing my finger right next to my swing.
"Thanks." He said and got on the swing right next to me with a smile. "Hi, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, what's yours dattebayo?"
'Huh…he said his surname first' I thought 'maybe this is the people greet each other in this world….Oh yeh, they do greet each other like that, now I remember."
"Hellooooo" Naruto started to wave his hands in front of my face.
I blinked, "ah…sorry, my name is Arashi, nice to meet you Naruto." I extended my hand.
He shook my hand with a big smile "Nice to meet you too ttabayo."
"So Naruto what are you doing here and where are your parents?" I asked, I already knew his answer but wanted to test if this is like the show or different.
"I came here every day to play" he answered, "and I don't know who my parents are." He answered with a low voice looking down.
Great just fucking great I just had to ask a question like that. Dammit.
"Well, I guess that makes two of us," I told him "I don't know who my parents are either."
"Hey, Naruto want me to push your swing?"
After hearing my words he instantly cheered up "Sure, thanks Arashi."
'Hehehe, kids, always easy to cheer up' I thought to myself.
We started playing together all day around the park, I looked up at Naruto's REP score it went up to 10. Guess he likes me now. Though the other kid's stayed away from us, more specifically from Naruto, avoiding him. I mentally sighed 'can't blame them if their parents are assholes.'
"Hey Arashi, are you going to join the ninja school from tomorrow?" Naruto asked
I smiled "Yeh and what about you?"
"Cool, me too." He said
"Hey, Arashi…c…can we play again?" He asked in a low voice looking down on the ground.
"Sure we can," I told him with a smile "We are friends right."
He blinked "Fri…friends! Yeh, we are friends." He gave me the biggest smile of the day.
I looked at Naruto's REP again, it went from 10 to 25.
"So Naruto, want to head back to the orphanage, The Sun is beginning to set?" I asked wanting to know did I just missed him in the orphanage or was he already kicked out.
"Ooo…I don't live in the orphanage anymore, a few years ago the scary matron kicked me out, and my Jiji found me and gave me my own apartment." Naruto answered with a low voice.
"Sorry, I didn't know," I said in a low voice, which he waved off.
"So, you have your own apartment! That's really cool you know" I told him and sighed "Damm I wish I had my own place, it would be much better where I'm living right now."
Naruto chuckled nervously, "Yeh, my place is not that good either, it's kind of a dump and the place is kind of bad too."
I shrugged, "Maybe, but it's still yours" I hummed, I wonder, can I get Naruto to share his apartment with me? If it works out, I could get a much better place than the shit hole I live in right now.
And just as I had my thought a new box popped up;
Ping

Accept/Decline
I blinked, it looks like my personal can be made into a quest that can affect the real world. This is awesome! I immediately accepted all I have to do is get him like me enough to say yes, sounds easy. But first things first I need to ask him a few more questions.
"So anyways Naruto, if you don't mind me asking, do you remember anything about the woman who kicked you out of the orphanage?" I asked him, I really wanted to know was it Koime or not.
"Huh…why do you want to know?" he responded with a confused look.
"You know, sooooo….I could avoid her" I answered with a shrugged.
"Oh! Ok." Naruto said and started to think closing his eyes, "She was very scary, always angry, had a loud voice and she always used to scream a lot."
I sighed 'Ok man, you are dealing with a six-year-old and if the show is to believe, the most idiotic person on this planet. Ask for looks. Yeh.' I mentally told myself.
But from what he said I don't think its Koime, and I also don't have any memories of her behaving to anyone like that, but there is also a possibility maybe she only behaved to Naruto like this.
"I mean looks Naruto. Do you remember how she looked like?" I asked specifying this time.
"Hmm," he started to think again scratching the back of his head with his right hand, "well she was very old and had grey hair and black eyes, that's all I remember."
I listened to him and going by his description it's not Koime, because she is in her mid-thirties, has brown hair and lime green eyes. "Ok thanks Naruto, it's going to be dark very soon, we should go home now. See you tomorrow at the academy. Bye."
"See you tomorrow Arashi, Bye." With that said he left running out of the park.
I looked around and saw all of the children already left, leaving me alone. I walked at a normal pace towards the orphanage.
I came back to the orphanage and went to my room quietly to summarize what just happened with me today. Entering my room I got out of the t-shirt I was wearing and went to bead half naked only having my pants on. 'This is probably some old habit from my previous life, can't seem to remember from this one.' I thought
Let's start at summarizing.
'Menu' I mentally commanded and the 'Main Menu' box appeared in front of my face.
Alright, first is 'Profile'; in it, there is my name 'Arashi' not a bad name, in fact, its sounds pretty cool; next is my race which is 'Human' with question marks so maybe I'm part human and part something else…but what? Maybe it's also related to main quest gotta look into that later. 'Clan' is locked, hmm let's check, so it says my clan is a secret related to my origins by progressing in the main story I will unlock this part, it looks like most of this things are all related to my origins and to unlock it I have to go through the main story. The rest of the stuff is normal.
Ok, the second is 'Status'; in there is my level and the number beside it, is probably how much experience I need to level up, yup that's the experience bar. After that is my HP, SP, CP, EP, RP, and MP. The last three, however, is locked. This is interesting, each of them can be unlocked by going through the main quest but the interesting part is that if I can find someone mastered in those skills, they can help me unlock mine. Very interesting indeed. After that is my status point which I understand perfectly, and for money I have '0 Ryo' no wonder my luck is one.
The third is 'Skill List'; most of the thing is straight forward no issue here except for the 'Hidden' parts. One thing caught my eye. 'Hidden Heritage 2' skills description, according to it, high-speed regeneration, 100 % faster level up in fuinjutsu and 50% in kenjutsu. If I'm not wrong then I'm 95% sure this is 'Uzumaki Heritage'. But how….. I'm not Kushina's son that's for sure, so who are my parents? I only remember only eight Uzumaki's including Naruto appearing or being mentioned in the show. Kushina is out of the picture that leaves Karin's mother and she is also out of the pic…. so who?
…
…
Well, I can't possibly find my answers inside the village that's certain, which leaves the only option, I have to find my parents outside of the village. So my best choice is to become a ninja and quickly so I can have free access to roam around while I'm on mission or vacations. I sighed at this information.
…
…
Fourth is 'Inventory' which is empty.
The fifth is 'Quest Log' which currently has two quests in them. Seeing both of the entries, I found one thing very different from each other. One has '[M]' mark and the other one has '[S]' mark on them. Pressing on those buttons I found the first one is for the main quest and the second one is for a side quest. Main quests are unavoidable but the interesting part is side quests, it's says depending on my decisions and choices side quests ending can and will affect the real world. So basically it's like 'The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt' all of my choices will have consequences which will affect the world around me.
Sixth is 'Perk List' which is locked.
The seventh is 'Character Database' where I can see other characters info and their relationships with me. Ok so 'REP' positive means they like me, negative means they hate me, there is also a mark '[L]' it says in the information. If someone has '[L]' mark right beside their 'REP' bar that means they have a crush on you, the marks full form is '[LOVE]'; if the mark is complete on someone then that means she loves you deeply in a romantic sense. The higher the 'REP' score the easier is to fall in love with you.
…
…
…
…
…
I blinked at this information several times.
Eight is 'Dungeon Dex' which is also locked.
After seeing all this info few things were cleared and I had many mysteries to solve. But one thing for certain, if I have to live in this world how should I play out my new life? Like a selfish prick, a noble hero or just me?
I had lots to think about, but for now, I want some sleep.
So this is the first Fanfic I wrote.
Many of the aspects are inspired by "Yami The Gamer Kage" because it's one of my favourite fics out there if you haven't read go check it out.
Also, the second chapter is almost done will be out by next week, and this fanfic will follow it's the original story as well as cannon and few crossovers here and there.
Please read and enjoy. And don't forget to review this story and tell me what you think about it.
