…
"Welcome!"
I heard it say. I don't know where I am, nor what is going on. It's like I just woke up in some stranger's place after drinking so much I can't remember what I did the night before.
"You are confused, understandably so, after all that happened to you. Give it some time and your memories will come into place."
"Who- what are you?" I ask, looking at it. Not for long as it has no form, just a giant ball of light, too bright for my eyes to keep up with. I look around, but all I see is a boundless white space. Reminds me of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
"It doesn't matter what I am, what matter is what you are. And currently, you are dead."
It's not like I didn't expect that answer, but it's quite shocking to hear it nonetheless. Either way, I must be dreaming.
"You are not dreaming. It's taking longer than I expected, I guess I will have to force your memories back a little. Don't worry, it will just hurt a little."
Wait, can you even feel pain in dreams?
…
My question is immediately answered by a sharp pain in my head. It doesn't last long, but I suddenly remember what happened.
I was going to the supermarket, about to cross the street, when a mad man in a truck came from out of nowhere and completely ignored the red light. I was relatively safe where I was, but a kid in front of me was wearing earphones and listening to music. Calling to him was useless, so I ran and pushed him with all my power. It was a broad street, but I was able to get him far enough so the truck wouldn't hit him. Sadly, I placed myself right in front of the truck. This is where it would normally end, but there's more. Oddly enough, perhaps the kid was destined to die, but the truck turned at the same time I pushed the kid, and in the same direction I pushed him. It turned so abruptly, as if the driver was trying to avert the obvious outcome of his reckless driving, that the truck tipped over and the container fell right on me.
"So, does that mean i'm in a coma?"
"No, as I already told you, you are dead."
This must be one of those dreams you have while being in a coma. Next I will probably have to uptake tasks and if I fail, I die, if I succeed in all of them, I will wake up in a hospital bed.
"No, you are not in a coma, this is no dream, and no amount of telling yourself that will change anything. Now, do you want to hear what I have to say?"
"Sure, go ahead." I'm unconvinced, but I should at least hear what this thing has to say.
"Sigh. This is why I hate dealing with your kind. You see, that kid you tried to save was destined to die that day. He is needed in a distant land, a different world as you would call it. I sent my servant, the Truck, to get him, but he ended up killing both of you. Be-"
"Wait a minute, the truck is your servant?"
"Yes." It responded, a little annoyed at my interruption.
"Just to be clear, not the driver, but the truck itself?" I really need to make this detail clear, as this is the biggest nonsense this ball of light said ever since it started to speak.
"Yes, can I continue? Be thankful though, for my servant saw valor in you, as you were willing to die to protect someone else. A hero's spirit. So I will grant you the ability to go to a new world, completely different from your current one. A world of magic, dragons, elves, and adventurers. Or perhaps you would prefer a world of space travel, with aliens and extremely advanced technology. As the Jumping Lord I can give you the choice to go to any world you wish to. Perhaps even a fictional world from your universe. I heard people there love superheroes, what do you think about becoming the new Avenger? Pretty good, huh?"
"It is, really. But something is bothering me, what do you get from doing that?" I find it a little suspicious how this guy will appear from nowhere and send me to other fantastical worlds without getting anything in return. Really fishy.
"I gain nothing, and I need not gain anything. I am a being of almost unlimited power. Do you really think I would need something? And even if I did, do you think it would be something you would be able to provide me? It's laughable to even think of something like this."
There is no need to say it like that, right?
"Okay then, you said you can send me to any universe right? I choose the Narutoverse." I announce as a proud weeaboo. Might as well go along with it, as I have nothing to do till I wake up. "But can you give me some powers? Going there as I am now is just asking to be killed or even experimented on. Even worse, be a normal guy working on a normal job."
"Yes, I actually was planning on doing so. Here, this is the file for Jumping into the Naruto world."
Reading through the "file" I find that I only have 1000 points to choose from a list of abilities and perks. Not much, though I can get more by making my life harder by getting some drawbacks.
"Now, you should know that any origin aside from Drop-in will make it so you are born as a baby in your life. As a Drop-in you will arrive there as a 12 years old version of yourself. Spend your points now, in 30 minutes I will send you, if you haven't finished by then...well, too bad for you I guess."
A time limit of 30 minutes to read this massive thing? Well, gotta be fast.
…
"Okay, I chose everything already."
"Oh, quite fast, it's only been 20 minutes." True, but after reading some options, it was obvious which I should take. I spent most of the time thinking about the drawbacks, which ones are worth it, and how they are completely unbalanced. "I will be sending you there now. Ready?"
"Yes." Suddenly, the ball of light began shining even brighter, so much so that I couldn't even look anywhere without hurting my eyes. Even closing and covering them was not enough to protect them from the light. But If I wake up now, I will get mad.

Name: Hagenin, Saitama
Age: 12
Origin: Drop-in
Village: Konoha
Initial CP: 1000
Drawbacks:
Reviled(+100) Your home village, by and large, hates you. Perhaps it's for your family, your personality, or maybe it's just a coincidence of your birth. Expect rising through the ranks and getting the good missions to be all but impossible. It's possible to put an end to this, but you'll have to have a major Rudolph the red nosed reindeer moment. Saving the vast majority of the village, or destroying one of it's greatest enemies is the minimum to quell their ire. Mandatory for me.
Hunted by all villages except my own(+300) Congratulations, a village hates you enough to place a bounty on your head! Mandatory for me.
Verbal tick(+100)BELIEVE IT! You have an annoying verbal tick that you can't help but shouting nearly every time you open your mouth. Expect this to grate on absolutely anybody you spend more than a few moments around. This is a bunch of points for something really small. Anyway, always hated characters who finish their sentences with something stupid like "-de gozaru", so I can see it getting annoying really fast. I hope it's not something stupid though.
Before my eyes...(+100) You've suffered terribly. One of those you loved best was killed before you, and you were powerless to protect them. You couldn't tear your eyes away as they died in pain. You can't help but alter some of your habits in their honor; perhaps you always arrive late as they once did, or you've taken on one of their hobbies or philosophy, or else spend at least an hour everyday praying at their grave. It's affected you badly though. You're broken inside, and while you maybe happy again, it's going to take time and the effort of your other loved ones to bring you back from the brink. And even then, you'll frequently relapse into depression. You will never be the same again. Mandatory for me. Also, really stupid how something like this is worth 100 points like the verbal tick. Meanwhile:
Low Priority(+200) Your sensei, for whatever reason, has put your training on the back burner. Maybe another of your teammates needs it more, maybe your sensei just doesn't like you, or perhaps they're just lazy. Something minor like this is worth 200 points. Guess a being with unlimited power wouldn't know how it feels to lose someone you love.
Out of control(+200) You have difficulty manipulating chakra both inside and outside your body. This can be improved somewhat, but you will never be a medic-nin. It will be more taxing to use your jutsu, more difficult to learn new jutsu, and more difficult to escape illusions. Some techniques requiring excellent control such as high level genjutsu are now beyond your reach. Mandatory as well.
Dysfunction Junction (+200 CP) You and your team... don't really get along. Your teammates are in someway mentally damaged, whether it's from their older brother murdering their family, being molested, or just being ignored by the village at large there is something wrong with them. This negatively affects your teamwork, and may well end up getting you all killed. You can eventually overcome this but it's going to take a lot of work. Seeing who my teammates are, this is a given. I would have to face it even without taking the drawback.
Boiling Blood (+200 CP): You're pretty loud for a ninja; stealth is usually option 'B' if not further down the list. You are also easily provoked and have a hard time giving respect to your superiors before they've proved themselves to you. Please note that personal strength is necessary to get promotions as a ninja, so pissing of your sensei, or perhaps even your kage isn't something that will go well for you.
THE CHOSEN ONE (+300 CP): You don't have the ability to flip out and murder people like a ninja should; you're not a pacifist but you won't purposefully kill anyone either. Everyone always needs you to do everything for them, and you'll do it because your a damn push over. And you'll do it for free too. You'll still get paid for missions at least. I have nothing against helping people, and I can just beat the bad guys and tell my teammates to kill them.
MC-KUN/MC-CHAN (+500 CP): Congratulations, you are now now a main character! Your starting location is set to Konoha and you now take Sakura's spot on Team Seven. You will have to go through all the plot right next to Naruto or Sasuke. As a bonus their plot armor is degraded. You will only need to help the one you side with while they are separated; the other will have the full force of his canon plot armor to rely upon while they are apart. Yes, you are considered just as important to the plot as either of them; you will need to pitch in during the major battles they face if you wish to claim victory as the enemies you face have grown much stronger.
CP from Drawbacks: 2200
Total CP: 3200
Perks:
Chakra Enhancement Specialization (-100 for both): Every Ninja enhances their body with chakra, but you have focused on a particular area to great effect. The only problem is that it's a temporary and can be exhausting to use. You have two choices:
o Strength
o Speed
You Have Reserves (-100): All ninja can increase their reserves with training, but you've won the chakra lottery. Even now at the start of you journey some ninja with years or even decades of experience on you still have less chakra than you do naturally. This effectively enhances your stamina as well as letting you use more powerful ninjutsu than others.
Singular Reality (-300):You won't be fooled, not by such petty tricks. You can barely tell when an illusion is taking place, and certainly can't be bothered to actually be affected by it. Genjutsu, lies, body language; you see the truth behind all of it.
True Jinchuriki (-500): Instead of having some of a Bijuu's chakra sealed with in you, you have the whole package. You now have a bijuu appropriate to your location sealed with in you.
-Kurama, the nine tailed fox of Konoha. Kurama grants it's wielder the ability to sense negative emotions. If you have the Nine tails sealed within you you instead have the Yin half of it's chakra which would have normally been sealed inside of Minato.
Bloodline limit:
Uzumaki (-400): You are a member of the scattered and decimated Uzumaki clan, you are naturally inclined to fuinjutsu and sensory techniques and have an incredibly strong life force, giving you great endurance, longevity, and increased chakra reserves. With training, you might be able to create chakra chains from your body which you can manipulate at will. You may now change your hair color to red at no cost, reflecting your lineage. As this clan is nearly extinct, if you select this to be the clan you've been born into only your immediate family is alive and well.
Senju (-600): Konohagakure based. You possess an almost supernatural life force, stamina and physical energy, and are a generally talented ninja. You gain a lesser form of the specialization in each and every ninja discipline and increased chakra reserves. As a bonus, if you start in Konoha you are considered the next best thing to royalty. As this clan is nearly extinct, if you select this to be the clan you've been born into only your immediate family is alive and well.
Uchiha (-800): Konohagakure based. You possess the Sharnigan in it's beginning stage, an eye based Bloodline-Limit that allows you to see chakra, gives you a photographic memory of anything you see with them, and alters your perception of time making things seem like they are moving much more slowly. Once your Sharingan has fully matured it will manifest to more abilities. The first is less well known around the elemental nations: the ability to cast your genjutsu through nothing more than eye contact. The second is the most famous: the ability to copy anything with somatic components you see the entirety of. Your copy ability will let you instantly learn whatever you see with your Sharingan, so long as it is a thing you could feasibly learn with training, but it will only be technical proficiency and you'll still need practice to truly master what you've seen.
Mangekyo Sharingan (-400): Do you really desire power that badly? ... It's your choice, but it will cost you something even more valuable than CP. To receive the Mangekyo Sharingan you must watch someone you truly love die. The power you received from this terrible act is impressive, and there are some who would argue it's worth it. You have gained three abilities that are all very costly chakra wise, quickly exhausting your reserves. You will, of course, need training to use them effectively.
-The first is Susanoo, a giant, durable, but also unmaneuverable suit of transparent armor that surrounds you. It has a powerful blade and nigh invulnerable shield. This technique is vulnerable from techniques originating below it though, at least until you've fully mastered it.
-Amaterasu, a fire based ninjutsu of terrible power. You can bathe a target in chakra by glaring at them and ignite them in black flames of incredible temperature that will burn for seven days and nights. You will also receive Kagutsuchi, a technique that allows you to shape and manipulate the flames Amterasu creates. Using this causes the eye that cast it to bleed.
-Kamui, a space time ninjustsu that allows it's user to become intangible and teleport themselves and others. It does this by shifting the affected thing into a pocket dimension, and allowing the caster to remove them back into their original dimension as well to other locations of their choosing. It can be used at range as an attack, but it's very difficult to aim and requires set up. Things in Kamui's dimension are held in stasis, so storing people is possible.
Rinnegan: (-0): The lineage of the Sage of Six Paths been reunited through you, and both of your bloodlines are enhanced. The gifts of the Senju are retained and increased with even larger chakra reserves, which are now equal to You Have Reserves, increased physical ability, and all of the basic elemental affinities though you haven't received training in any of them. Your Uchiha blood is enhanced by allowing you access to the Six Paths, though it will take you decades to master them all. When using any of these abilities your iris swallows your sclera, turns a color of your choosing, and becomes divided by five thin black rings surrounding your pupil.
Notes:
For anyone that doesn't know, this is based on the concept of Jumpchains. To see the actual jumpchain this is based on, go to: .
Or better yet, google "Naruto Jumpchain" and you will find it. The version i'm using is a little newer than this one, but it shouldn't be that different.
Of course, the rules are a bit different also. Since i will stay here forever, the concept of leaving after ten years is completely ignored. Also, the jump limits certain abilities and makes them weaker than they are in cannon. The Rinnegan, for example, is a little nerfed. I will limit myself to canon only, so in the story i will be able to use the Outer path and bring people back to life if i sucessfully master the Rinnegan. And since i have Out of Control because of the bijuu, when i tame Kurama, the drawback is nullified.
