I opened my eyes to find myself in a black void, maybe opening my eyes would be a bad way to describe it, it's more like I've simply gained awareness of my current situation. I tried to remember how I ended up in this situation, flashes of a white room, beeping instruments and a number of faceless people donning white coats came to my mind but there seemed to be pieces…. Missing…. I then realized that I had no memory of who I am, I mean I have memories so I was someone right? I shook my head or at least attempted to. It then dawned on me that I had no head to shake, no eyes to open, no mouth to breathe through. Wait if I don't have a head then how am I ali….. I'm dead aren't I? Panic set over me which didn't amount to much as I could only scream inside my mind but hey, what's one to do when they're floating in an empty void with no means to express themselves? It took a while to come to terms with this discovery…. or maybe not, my sense of time was nonexistent. I started to comb through my memories as I had nothing else to do, stories were the most prevalent of these memories, tales of wizards saving the world, people fighting each other with stands, for whatever reason there were a shit load of trashy isekai with titles as long as the stories themselves, 'y=mx+b-c' and 'the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell' flashed through my mind for whatever reason, the more I looked through my memories the more I realized that whoever I was, I was a total fucking weeb who was either deeply engrained in anime culture and not much else, or whatever else I had liked to do was linked to me on a personal level and I had lost those other interests with the memories of who I was. It was a sobering thought to say the least. I felt a sudden pull and a rush of information about a story called Naruto flooded my mind. Plot, characters, locations, everything was there, stories called 'fanfics' also flashed through my mind, bringing with them even more information to the point where whatever I was at the moment started to hurt. Wait, I'm feeling pain, how can I feel pain if I'm dead?
"That is a good question indeed" a voice that came from all around me stated.
"Who's there?" I thought, wait I can hear someone, and they can apparently hear me, how is that possible? I don't have a way to communicate with whoever this is, they can also apparently see me when I don't have a body, this shouldn't be possible.
"Quite the observant one aren't you? Definitely going to give you a boost to INT and WIS at the beginning" the voice mussed to itself.
"Int? Wis? What are you even talking about? What am I doing here and what is even here?" I thought in a loud voice to try and express my frustrations.
"Well, you've already pieced together most of it yourself, you are in what we call 'The Void' and it acts as a waiting room between the living and the dead" the voice explained "as for who I am…. Well I guess you humans would see me as a type of angel I suppose, you however can call me 'The Administrator'"
"... Wait so that means that a god does exist… damn am I going to hell? because I really didn't buy into all that religious stuff…. At least I don't think I did" I thought "also administrator? Like the people who are in charge of running game servers and stuff?"
"HAHAHAHA Hell, no my friend, did you really believe that after all the time God puts into creating a single soul that he'd discard it into such a horrible existence for all of eternity?" the Administrator says "No it's easier to simply wipe the soul clean and repurpose it elsewhere but anyways I'm getting ahead of myself. To answer your question about why I'm called the administrator, it's simple really, I'm in charge of regulating where souls go after death and you my lucky friend are going to be a test run for a new idea that God has implemented"
"This… is a lot to take in" I said "wait I just spoke!" I looked around for the first time and noticed that my body had taken a humanoid shape that gave off a bluish glow
"Yes I've given you a temporary body, you wouldn't be able to choose stats, perks and the likes without hands now would you?" the administrator says
A blue rectangle suddenly appears in front of me, immediately it reminds me of stories like 'Solo Leveling' and 'The Gamer'
Welcome Gamer
You have been selected to participate in version 1.0 Beta of the new reincarnation system introduced by God in which the worlds of fiction will be brought to Life. Please select your new world based on existing memories. (Please note system will be prone to updates as bugs and issues are discovered)

"Wait but these are fictional worlds, how can I be reincarnated into a world that doesn't exist?"
"Ah you see that is the genius of this new system, humans have created numerous worlds and stories, basically when a story is written the groundworks are being laid for an entirely new world and with that comes an endless number of possibilities for god, creating a world that has already been established, even if only on ink and paper, is much easier than say building another world from scratch" the administrator explained
"So you're saying that God is going to copy/paste worlds of fiction and let people who have died reincarnate into a world of their choosing? Wait then how would that affect the memories of those who died? Will they keep them? What will happen to the world I came from if everyone doesn't return to it after they die? And what abou…"
"Woah woah woah, slow down there, like I said this is sort of a test run to see how the system works, keeping your memories will be a special privilege to you and only you because your sort of our beta tester and with that title comes a few special perks, like the gamer system for example, it's a tool to help you adjust to your new life as we can't just go dropping you somewhere unfamiliar with no help at all right? Anyway's I can't tell you everything but know that this option is only open to you" says the administrator
"But then why me? Why out of everyone that has ever lived and died have I been granted this privilege?"
"Well the short answer is that you got lucky, The more complicated answer is related to who you were, know that I'm not allowed to tell you anything related to who you used to be, just know that you contracted a disease that left you in the hospital for most of your life and you died young, God decided to take pity on your soul and make you the beta tester for this new system" the administrator says in a sullen tone
I thought over all the information that I'd been given. It was a sobering thought that not only had I died relatively young, but that my previous life had been so pathetic that God had taken pity on me. 'Well I suppose that there's no point in crying over spilt milk, so what if I died? This is a second chance where I can use what I know to better myself all while helping to offer this amazing chance to others as well' "Fuck it I'm in, let's do this shit!"
"That's the spirit!…. Hahaha spirit, get it? Because you're basically just a spirit right now? No? alright anyways go ahead and select your world, if you have questions just ask and I'll do my best to answer," said the administrator
Looking back at the box I looked at all the different worlds to choose from, That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime seemed like a good option… until I realized that I probably wouldn't reincarnate as said slime, JoJo's also looked promising but I realized that wouldn't be a good idea as I'm not gay… I looked at the Berserk world choice "Yo administrator, who the fuck would pick the world of Berserk if they were given a second chance at life?" I asked while raising an eyebrow
"Ah well you had Berserk in your memories and as such the world choice appeared, you humans can think up some pretty hellish ideas and worlds" the administrator said while shivering a bit
Ignoring the administrator, I looked back at the world choices and found myself looking at Naruto, 'Now this is a world I can get behind, everyone has chakra meaning it's guaranteed that I'll have the ability to use this world's power system. Add the Gamer system on top of that and I can become really strong' without a second thought I clicked on Naruto

Kiri would thrust me into a position like Haku, Suna is in the middle of a desert and is known as the weakest of the 5 great villages and Iwa is well…. Iwa I don't really remember anything outside of the small old guy that ran the village, and minor villages are a no go, I'm not going to be a shinobi in a village that can easily get pushed around' With that said I selected Konohagakure

'Wow I never really realized just how many clans there were in Naruto and these are just the clans in Konoha' looking over all the choices my gaze kept coming back to both the Senju and Uzumaki clans, while the Uchiha clan seems like the obvious choice, I'd have to first survive the massacre and then I'd have to deal with both Danzo and Orochimaru and I really want to interact with them as little as possible
The Senju clan looked like a really good option, but I then remembered that only Tsunade was left in cannon and she was unable to have children due to a toxin she and the other sannin were exposed to during the second great shinobi war, meaning that I probably wouldn't get into the 'Rookie 9' timeline
That left the Uzumaki Clan, and it seemed like the best choice, I would get a nice bonus to fuinjutsu, and with my preexisting knowledge I would probably be able to create some really insane seals, hell I might even be able to make a seal that allows flight! I would also get an excuse as to why I heal so quickly with the Uzumaki clan having strong life forces and all.
I made my decision and selected the Uzumaki clan

Perk Selection
Welcome to perk selection, perks are rare to come by, they can give passive buffs or other benefits to the user and will immediately be maxed out upon gaining them, (some perks will be forced on user)
Forced Perks
[Gamer's Body] LVL: Max- 'Grants a body that allows for the user to live the real world like a game. After sleeping in a bed, HP and CP is fully restored and status effects are cured, No permanent injuries (not counting the loss of a limb) will be taken from attacks'
[Gamer's Mind] LVL:Max- 'Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through, Allows for peaceful state of mind, Immune to mental disorders'
[Old Soul] LVL Max- 'Protects memories retained from past life from being seen or tampered with, prevents user from divulging information about God and the Gamer system'
[Luck of the Gods] LVL:Max- 'Gives the user a 50% multiplier to their luck stat, effects gambling, loot drops, and other activities or events where luck is involved'
[Raised eyebrow] LVL:Max- 'Upon raising an eyebrow when someone says something stupid a vine boom sound effect will be played, persons able to hear it will simply assume that this is normal'
Please select starting perks
'Holy shit the forced perks are amazing! I wonder what types of perks are available as starters if these are the forced ones… wait, seriously? What the fuck is this raised eyebrow perk?'
"Well it seemed pretty funny to me so now you're stuck with it" the administered chirped happily
I raised an eyebrow while looking at the administrator and a vine boom sound effect played… 'Alright that is pretty neat' I admitted, anyways let me get back to my starting perk choice
There were a lot of really good perks but I knew that I had to choose wisely, if what the system had to say about how rare they are was to be believed these choices could determine the entirety of how my new life will go
After looking through the list of available perks I decided on Eidetic memory and Smooth Talker
[Eidetic Memory] LVL:MAX 'The user is able to perfectly remember anything they learn'
[Smooth Talker] LVL:MAX- 'The user gains a 25% multiplier to all skills involving talking, lying or convincing person or persons to whatever you are trying to convince or explain to them, based on CHA stat of user and Rep with person or persons'
Eidetic Memory seemed extremely useful, the ability to perfectly remember anything that I learn will be great for areas such as medical ninjutsu and smooth talker because not only will I be able to better convince people to not only listen to me, but this perk could also possibly help me out of situations where I have information I shouldn't (not to mention pulling a 'talk no jutsu' out of my ass when needed, that was proven to be very effective in the original story)'
Confirm Perk selection (Y/N?)
'I hit the Y button so hard my glowing blue hand broke off from my body and floated away into the void'

"Well it looks like your all set to go, enjoy your new life and good luck, you're going to need it" said the administrator
I went to ask what the administrator meant by that when my vision suddenly went dark, I tried to cry out in surprise but I couldn't, suddenly I saw a light in the distance that I was moving towards, It was a slow process but I finally reached the light and passed through, Upon looking around everything was hazy and I heard the sounds of voices and a loud cry, 'Damn someone really needs to shut their baby up I thought, then I realized that the crying was coming from me, I was the baby that needed to be shut up' as my vision got clearer I looked up and saw 2 faces looking over me, one was a beautiful woman with red hair and red eyes, the other was handsome looking man with black hair and hazel eyes
"Look at him Lee, isn't this little guy just the cutest thing you've ever seen?" asked the woman
"Of course he Is Akane, he's our child after all" the man identified as Lee said "If he wasn't then what else would he be? average?"
I took great offense to this statement and began to cry even louder while trying and failing to flip my now identified parents off.
'Alright I know for a fact that I'm in the rookie 9 timeline, now I need to figure out if this is pre or post 9 tails attack and go from there' I thought while my parents continued to talk to me 'I'm getting a bad feeling about this, that last statement by the administrator is making me nervous, but he could be saying good luck for a multitude of reasons'
As I was thinking this to myself a sudden wave of malice and hate washed over me accompanied by an ear-piercing roar that ripped through the air
As my consciousness began fade from the overwhelming presence of what was most definitely the 9 Tailed Fox, I only had a single thought running through my mind
"That son of a bitch"
