*Story is told through MC's perspective, also '=thoughts "=speech, however they can be used in other ways, blame me for being inconsistent as a writer, but I'll leave context clues.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of it's characters, except the OC(s)(for now there's one), the OC is mine.
I wanted to reset the world, it had wronged and hurt me too much. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy, got sent overseas, and suddenly, soldier after soldier deserted, they were tired, too. I take pride that I was the one who assassinated the British Prime Minister and the American President, as well as the Russian Oligarch. I almost single handedly started World War Three, during which I dealt with five more leaders. The world once again fell into anarchy, my goal had been achieved, I'd go to Hell for it, but I died happy, sitting upon my throne, a so called throne of bones, I died Lucifer upon a throne of bones, how ironic. I wish I had been born in a different world, a just one, where luck and wealth don't determine worth, and I hope my old world turns out to be just.
'Where am I?' I looked down at myself, or at least tried to, 'Why can't I move?' I tried to talk but couldn't, 'So I can't talk either, at least I can see, and I'm in a crib?' 'Who's that?' I saw a white-haired man with a scar across his left eye and a brown-haired woman with purple marks on her cheeks, named Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara respectively (They're both slightly older than canon). They were my parents in this life.
'I wonder what the, uhm, entity, was talking about when it said "here, have this, you'll need it"' I thought, when suddenly, a screen popped up in front of me, it read, "No need to look, I gave you a gift called [system]. For your unanswered questions, yes I can read your thoughts, and yes, [reader] this is a ninja with a game system story, deal with it, I'm not creative."
'Reader, story, so, I'm in a story, who's this reader? They can probably read my thoughts too. Here's what I can conclude, I'm in a story, I reincarnated and there's a chance I'm not the only one who did, there's at least two people who can read my thoughts, those being entity and [reader], I have 'game system' to help me grow stronger, this 'game system' is most likely unique to me and other reincarnations' suddenly another screen popped up, it read, "Congrats, a lot of that was right, also +1 Intelligence(Int.) and+1 Wisdom(Wis.) for thinking so hard" 'That doesn't tell me anything, the system could be commonplace, other reincarnations could or not exist. Could you answer my questions instead of saying, good for you, thinking so hard, some of what you think might be true.' Not telling you keeps the story interesting, goodbye for now, I've got things to attend to.
'Whatever, let's check out this game system thing, start.. show... uh, game system open, help, I can't work the game thing'
What are you, a Boomer? Just think 'activate'
'Thanks. [System] activate. It's not working.'
Get pranked, if you want it to open it will, same with closing it.
Why didn't it work earlier?
Because I stopped it. Get double pranked.
You're annoying. System, open.
(System is taken from War Dog(my favorite fanfic.) by Kaiimei, however I will change a few things)

'5 out of these 26 choices, tough decision, anyone I can have for free?'
Loner, feel free to look into why, but I think you already know.

Spot on!
'I've got to pick up Prodigy, Adventurous seems pretty good, other than that, I don't know, got any recommendations?'
The stat skills would help your growth a lot, Lazy fits you, Extraverted would give you benefits all around, although I know you won't choose it, Genjutsu and Fuinjutsu are pretty strong, and you have someone who'd definitely train you in them.
'Seriously, I'm lazy, OK. What's more powerful Genjutsu or Fuinjutsu?'
Fuinjutsu is much harder to learn and takes longer than Genjutsu, but is more powerful, however Genjutsu is very useful in a variety of scenarios.
'I'll take Smart, Perplexing Seals, and Athletic because I don't want to be slow.'
