I do not own the characters (that are not my OCS), not the naruto show, since that is Kishimoto's.
Thank you.
Elijah was a young African-American man. Living the usual life of the 9 - 5. Known as giving and thoughtful, a great uncle, friend, brother, and many others. Because of that, the day that Elijah, unfortunately, died by saving someone's life was very grim. One filled with sadness.
Why don't we trace back to what happened?
Elijah was heading to the manga store to grab himself a new volume of the naruto manga, which he had reread for the millionth time by now.
"The next volume ey?" The man behind the desk said. He smiled, then stamped the library can't Elijah pulled out. "You know when to bring the volume back by now right?"
"Of course, I do dave," Elijah chuckled in speech. Proceeding to put the new volume in his book bag, he slowly stepped out while saying "Next week on Tuesday"
...
Dave never got that book.
The next day, Elijah had seen a young teenage kid, probably around 12 - 13, jaywalking. Oh so bad, in any case. A truck came speeding by, how cliché. But that didn't stop Elijah, as Elijah pushed the child out of the way the impact from the crash applied much pressure to his side, as everything disappeared and Elijah landed forward on hard ground. But not concrete, a white floor, not concrete, not granite, just white nothingness.
"You gonna get up from the ground or..?" a voice spoke from the side.
Elijah jumped up and looked to his left. To see a person with black hair and Japanese features, sitting down on a couch.
"Sit down, please. The person said.
Elijah reluctantly walked over and sat down on the couch.
"What is this? A therapy session?" Elijah chuckled worryingly,
The person chuckled,
"No, but you could say I'm important. It's nice to meet you." the person outstretched their hand for a handshake.
Elijah took the hand slowly and shook, feeling the soft but cold hand.
The person spoke loudly and clearly,
"I am Mr. Animanga." The man paused, " you can call me Mr. Ani for short."
Elijah pursed,
"I have a feeling I know where this is going. You're going to reincarnate/isekai to an anime world. Right?"
"..."
"Well your right, it was just a bit rude to interrupt me like that."
Elijah chuckled guiltily,
"Yeah, hah sorry I get excited about this type of thing."
Mr. Animanga also chuckled lightly,
"Understandable, who would reject being reincarnated into their favorite anime!"
"I know I wouldn't," Elijah smirked.
Mr. Animanga coughed to speak,
"Mhmm, okay, so I have to ask this series of questions, even if I can pretty much answer from guessing." Mr. Animanga paused, "Your fine with that I presume?" Elijah nodded.
"Alright, so question one, would you rather restart your life in Naruto, as Naruto's twin brother, and a fellow Jinchūriki, the other holder of the nine tails? I would also like to mention that there are quite a lot of differences in the story because of your appearance and things that do not include you."
"Yeah totally, fine by me. I don't want any spoilers, but uhm will any of these changes negatively affect me a lot?" Elijah questioned
"Heh, Nah. Most of the changes are how you were born, and something that I don't want to spoil." Me animanga said.
Elijah sighed in relief.
"Alright, question two," Mr. animanga started. "How strong do you want your game system to be? Do you want to be a literal game character, barely have it, or just be a bit in the middle?
Elijah thought for a moment, while he would like to be overpowered and be a full-game character, that might be a bit boring, and what's the point of having it if you're not choosing it?
"I'll choose in between," Elijah said, smiling
"...and alright. That's basically it then, wait actually, is there anything more you may want me to add?" Mr. Animanga said
Elijah went over to Mr. Animanga's ear and whispered something.
Mr. Animanga smiled and stood up. "I'll make sure the system has those features. If you can find out how to get into them. Heh," Mr. Animanga raised his hand "Bye-bye now!" Then snapped his fingers as Elijah disappeared before he could say something
"WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Elijah had heard the loudest, most powerful piercing cry uh his life. Although he could not comprehend it due to the sensory overload he was experiencing. His hearing was mumbled, only allowing him to hear buried sounds, and his sight was so blurry that all he could make out was color. His other senses were good, but he also felt super uncomfortable with the infant's brother. Instead of crying because of these emotions, Elijah held them back. Bad habit, it's very bad usually for children not to cry, but the sad truth is that the parents probably won't be around for long enough.
Elijah could make out the slightest speech,
"His name should be, Yamato," Said a motherly voice
"Naruto, and Yamato. My lovely sons." Said a masculine voice with short blond hair. Then a masked man had come into the room, and Yamato's (We are going via Yamato now.) vision unblurred. Yamato started to recognize this scene, it was the room where Tobi had taken Naruto, right before.
And then it happened, swoosh, Yamato was taken, but not Naruto, why though? Because Tobi had only two hands? But would this mean that Minato would leave his son to get his other? Then Minato had acted, throwing a kunai that slightly missed to the side, or Tobi had thought, as Minato came behind and right-hooked Tobi's mask so hard it cracked, in the shock, Tobi had slightly dropped the helpless Yamato, where then Minato grabbed him, put him back in bed with Naruto. And back to Tobi in quick succession, Right as Minato was going to teleport Tobi away by touching his shoulder, his hand phased through as Tobi disappeared, and reappeared next to Kushina, and grabbing Kushina this time, bringing her to Kami knows where. Minato had to leave his children behind, but not before sending a Message to all Anbu and ninjas, about this. To look for Kushina, and some to protect the children.
And then everything had gone the same as it does, Or Yamato presumed. He couldn't really see much from the position he was in, so he did take this chance to try to explore his game system.
He had started to repeatedly start thinking
'Menu'
'Menu'
'Menu'
'MENU'
A message pop-up came up on the screen
{Would you like to activate the thought-controlled game system? Y/N?}
'YES'
{Now loading new interface...}
A few seconds passed as the window disappeared,
'Menu,' A new window appeared with a few boxes with names and symbols, these were;
Status window
Skills
Map
Inventory
Shop
Logs
Settings
Pause
Elijah stared in awe, he was really in this situation, no dream no nothing- it was amazing. This was amazing. He started to press on the things to see the common things, Titles, stats, Profile inspection, a character customization all in the Status window, and in the Map option he saw a mostly empty map seeming similar to all the Naruto maps he saw online. In the Inventory, he was what he expected, though he had lots of testing to do with it later. The Shop heavily reminded him of Amazon, with a deals screen on the top and products lower, then he checked the Logs which were just a way of describing dialogue and certain important actions in the past if you miss them. He went to options, which he was excited to see. There were a lot of options, although the one that messed with him most was Graphics quality, which was set to auto, which at first he was going to set to max, then he realized a child can't handle that, as to why they have auto on such a low graphic quality number. Then he pressed pause, which stopped the area around him, bringing him to a paused state, he could think but not move, like everything else, although he still had access to his eyes, which could be useful later for analysis. They were three options in the pause menu,
FAQ
Main menu
Call for help (Mr. Animanga)
He could pretty much figure that the call for help option was out of the question unless extremely emergent circumstances. But the main menu probably just brought him to a jew game and continue menu, if he could move around in that space, maybe he could sleep there or something of the sort. Although, that was all on the menu. He should probably focus on the outside, which seemed like was passing by far too fast. He was already at the double pedestal with Kurama's nail impaling his soon-to-be late parents. Although, it seemed like the more red part of Kurama split into Yamato, most likely the yin part, which generally means generally no fox until way later. Great.

After a bit, the Third conveniently had come to see this gruesome scene and a crying blonde baby, and a quiet black-haired baby, both wrapped in a soft cloth, with the names, Naruto & Yamato
