Life always played interesting games with people's lives. How often have people thought to themselves, "It can't get any worse," and in the end, something worse happened?

The strangest things always happen in life, whether within a year or a lifetime. Many strange miracles or mysteries accumulated, and many couldn't explain the results.

Why did lightning strike the ground even though there were high-rise buildings all around the area? Many things were unclear to people, even though they had already discovered and could explain many things.

Naruto had already seen a lot in his life, including people who could run up walls, walk on water, unleash fire from their mouths, and much more. Shattering a rock with a punch wasn't uncommon in the world he came from.

He had fought many battles as a shinobi, even in a great war that determined the world's fate. But everyone knew the story of Naruto Uzumaki, the 7th Hokage of Konohagakure. He was the hero of Konoha because, like his father, he achieved a decisive victory in the war and thus brought the village to fame.

At 30 years old, he was the strongest shinobi alive. Only his best friend, Sasuke Uchiha, could hold a candle to him. He was an excellent shinobi and had achieved everything he wanted. He had stopped his best friend from falling into darkness; he had become Hokage, the village had recognized him, and other things. He couldn't win over his true love. But that was fine with him because he had no time for a woman as the Hokage.

When he accepted the Kage's hat from Kakashi Hatake at 24, he promised himself one thing: he wouldn't make the same mistake and sit in the office. He would continue to train and have another job. He also accomplished this with his Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clones). The Kage's job was very time-consuming, but he had also learned another thing.

He didn't even know why he had learned this. He had learned blacksmithing from an old friend when he was a fresh genin. It was time-consuming, and he was sometimes away from the village for five days at a time. Of course, his Shadow Clones took care of everything, and since there were no big fights and peace between the five major nations, he had time to leave the village for a few days.

But in the winter of his 30th year, something happened that no one would have expected. While Naruto was sitting at his desk doing his regular work, he suddenly sensed something in the distance. Before he could do anything, Sasuke showed up in his office. It was immediately apparent that a great danger was approaching Konoha.

As it later turned out, two new Ōtsutsuki had come to earth. So that the village wouldn't get into trouble, Naruto and Sasuke left the village with clear instructions on situations like this. Only the two of them were able to deal with Ōtsutsuki members. After all, the two were partly Ōtsutsuki because they were the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura. The two were the strongest shinobi in the world, and if these two couldn't win, then no one could.

The fight was very long and hard, but Naruto and Sasuke were able to win together. But everything had its price. Naruto had to use a dangerous technique during his fight, using his chakra as fuel. At 30, he had just as many chakras as Kurama. To the average shinobi, Naruto was a god in human form. He was the third to be called the God of Shinobi, after Hiruzen and Hashirama.

At the end of the fight, Naruto's body lay on the ground and no longer showed any signs of life. Kurama was released at the exact moment, and unfortunately, Sasuke could no longer do anything for his best friend. The two were separated during the fight, and each had to take on an Ōtsutsuki themselves. He had fought Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, and Naruto had fought Isshiki Ōtsutsuki.

Sasuke lost his right eye in the fight against Momoshiki, so he only had his Rinnegan eye. He no longer had his normal Sharingan and was at the end of his strength.

By the time Sasuke got to Naruto, he was already dead. Kurama had tried to sacrifice himself, but Naruto wouldn't allow it. He had told him he would not allow anyone to sacrifice themselves for him again. Since Neji sacrificed himself for him in the war, he didn't allow something like that to happen again.

After Naruto died, he had no regrets and smiled. He was ready to see his family again on the other side, knowing that the village and the others were safe and sound.

When Naruto opened his eyes, he never expected to see his mother and father again. Of course, he had expected to see both his parents again, but not in the way he did.

He quickly understood that he was a baby again. He couldn't speak, his body didn't obey him as it should, and both of his parents did typical things with a baby. Within a few weeks, he realized he had somehow been reincarnated into an unknown world. It wasn't his old world, and neither of his parents seemed to remember anything. The two were called Minato and Kushina Uzumaki. They looked alike and had the same personalities but didn't seem to remember anything.

Was it possible that he was here in another dimension? He had studied a lot of fūinjutsu (Sealing Jutsu) in his old life after the war and space/time theory, too. After all, he wanted to master his father's famous Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique). The talk of alternative dimensions often came up.

He had also noticed that there was no chakra in this world. There was something different, and since the people of this world spoke the same language, he was able to find out a lot. While he was still a baby and his parents and maids looked after him, magic/mana was often mentioned.

The people who could use this magic/mana were called Blazers. Those were the warriors of this world who could use supernatural abilities like Naruto could use back in his world with chakra. As far as he understood, both of his parents were Blazers.

He could also feel something weird inside his body. He couldn't explain it, but his only guess was he would be one of those Blazers. He found it ironic that even in another world, he was given something normal humans didn't have.

In the past, Blazers were called Magicians and Witches, special people in one in a thousand capable of manifesting their soul as a weapon and wielding magic power. As time passed, all-natural militaries and local police forces required Blazers, resulting in the development of the Mage-Knight System, where such people were all required to graduate from Mage-Knight Schools approved by the League of Mage-Knight Nations to license and social status as Mage Knights, thus receiving full permission to use their powers without the usual limitations.

Because of the responsibilities that came with being a Blazer, even as Student Knights, they're recognized as being adults at the age of 15, allowing them to drink and get married, unlike regular people.

Although a Blazer could wield amazing powers, which could go against the natural law of the world, their magic power was fixed at the moment of their birth and couldn't be increased, no matter the training.

To evaluate and manage Blazers, their traits were determined and placed in the most appropriate spots in their hierarchical system to maintain balance. As such, their ranks and attributes were fixed and rarely changed unless the situation called for it.

The ranks are determined from six attributes:

Attack Power (攻擊力 Kōgeki-ryoku)

Defense Power (防御力 Bōgyo-ryoku)

Mana Quantity (魔力量 Maryoku-ryō)

Mana Control (魔力制御 Maryoku Seigyo)

Physical Ability (身体能力 Shintai Nōryoku)

Luck (運 Un)

Each Blazer's attribute was rated from A (the highest) to F (the lowest). These ratings were used to determine whether or not a Blazer would be ranked as either an A or F Rank.

C-rank Blazers and higher were considered "Rare," more so A-rank Blazers, who were considered geniuses. Among the 250 students, at least 5 C-Rank Students were present, and for at least one of the Mage-Knight Schools in Japan, having at least 1 B-Rank Student was considered lucky.

As per the introduction of the Desperado, B- and A-Rank Blazers were considered rather talented, born with greater fates, had great magic potential, and were quick learners.

The current system, however, didn't evaluated mundane skills, such as martial arts. Blazers were ranked based on their magic power and Noble Art, which could accomplish things like manipulating "Time" or "Fate."

A special person elaborated that such a hierarchal system existed to maintain and organize Blazers at a time when things needed to be united. Such people were Superhumans existing beyond normal Humans, requiring them to know their roles. It was situated to protect E-Rank Blazers, who could not endure gunfire because their magic power wasn't enough to act as a barrier that left at least.

While Naruto listened to stories of his parents, they also mentioned how Blazer used magical power.

Magical Power (魔力 Maryoku), also known as Mana and Magic, was the source of every Blazers' power.

Magical Power was a power that surpassed logic and was the power to change the world, though a person's magical power was determined and fixed at the moment of birth, and it couldn't be increased no matter the training a Blazer did in their life. Their limit in magical power was also explained as the potential that the world would permit them with, and Blazers who reached the peak of their potential wouldn't be able to get stronger than that. A number of them would even witness black chains holding them back.

However, some individuals ignored their fate, described as ignoring the warning of the gods and stepping outside of their fate, stepping into the domain of demonic beings through reaching their own Brute Soul or Awakening, becoming a Desperado, beings who exist outside of the fate and as such could increase the upper limits of their magical power based on their training.

Although normal Blazers couldn't increase their magical power, unlike Desperados, Blazers who were a part of the Natural Interference System (自然干渉系 Shizen kanshō-kei) were able to do so through amassing magical power from their respective elements turning it into pseudo-mana, allowing them to use more magical power, then they normally could.

Blazers were able to use their magical power in several ways, like increasing their physical attributes, such as their strength and speed, by applying their magical power based on the magical power they possess. Some could only double their physical attributes, but there were also Blazers who could boost their physical attributes by five or six times.

There were also two known basic techniques Blazers were able to use:

Mana Defense: A technique in which a Blazer could protect themselves from physical attacks, and its overall effectiveness and usage were based on the amount of magical power a person and their control. A Blazer, almost constantly shielded by their magical power, couldn't be harmed unless struck by someone with equal or greater magical power.

Mana Emission: A technique in which a Blazer releases their magical power to accelerate and improve themselves. This was a basic technique that Blazers used unconsciously.

While Naruto learned all this, he couldn't do much since he was a baby. But he didn't stress about it since he saw his parents daily… even when life as a baby was weird. He remembered every time he would "eat" from his mother. This was embarrassing and completely foreign for someone who was a 30-year-old man in his old life… this was embarrassing, and he would never tell someone about this.

He would endure this phase in his new life until he would get older to be able to do things normally again. But until then… he could do not much. He could somehow train his body by gaining his motor skills back. His body was still that of a baby, but he had all the knowledge from his past life. It wasn't long before he regained basic motor skills like standing, sitting up, walking, etc. It was an interesting scene when his mother came into his room one night to check up on Naruto and found him standing on both feet and walking around in his baby bed.

To say she was shocked, confused, happy, and overwhelmed was an understatement. Just like back in the elemental nations, Kushina Uzumaki had an energetic personality and couldn't contain her happiness, taking Naruto out of his baby bed and holding him up into the air, calling him a miracle.


Naruto opened his eyes and frowned slightly when he heard his alarm clock. Out of bad habit, he swung his arm to the side, destroying the annoying thing before raising himself into a sitting position. He raised his muscular arms over his head with golden-blond, spiky hair and stretched. He felt his lower spine crack before he sighed in relief. The tightness in his lower back was gone. 'I guess I have slept in an unfavorable position,' thought Naruto. His sky-blue eyes opened, and he swung his legs off the bed. He stood up, looking at the bed directly above his. 'It's strange not to see Ikki waking up with me,' thought Naruto.

Before, he had a roommate called Ikki Kurogane. However, his living situation changed for certain reasons, and it had been a week since he began living alone in his room. Naruto was now 16 years old and attending the Hagun Academy, one of the seven Mage-Knight academies located in Japan. The academy spanned an area more than ten times that of Tokyo Dome.

Unlike many other academies, Hagun had no intuition fees or other expenses the students must pay, making it ideal for poor students. However, Hagun was stricter on taking in students, as new students required at least a general level of abilities and capabilities.

Hagun Academy hadn't produced any strong assets in recent years compared to the other six academies. Hagun was on a losing streak in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, a competition sponsored once a year by the seven schools to select the strongest apprentice, Mage-Knight.

The school had its own living quarters where the students could live. Naruto lived in one of those huge buildings where many students lived in single-room apartments with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, and living area. It wasn't much, but enough for the Hagun Academy students. Commonly, two students used single-room apartments.

Naruto was living alone because of certain circumstances regarding new students beginning in the Hagun Academy this year. He would get a new roommate in the next few days… or today? He didn't remember.

For example, Ikki was also living alone in another single-room apartment until his sister… if Naruto remembered correctly, came to this school, and from there on, he would live with his little sister together. If Naruto remembered correctly, the Name of Ikki's little sister would be Shizuku Kurogane. He was curious about what the little sister of Naruto's good friend was like.

Naruto was the only friend Ikki had; he was also the only one who trained with him and even helped him. Ikki was a particular case because he was at the lowest rank a Blazer could get… the F-rank. He had almost no magical abilities; only his physical abilities could be improved by training. Naruto experienced déjà vu when he first met the good-natured boy. Rock Lee had no talent in Ninjutsu or Genjutsu back in Naruto's old world. What became of him? It is one of the strongest Shinobi ever produced in the hidden leaf village.

Ikki was much like Rock Lee regarding work ethic and the will never to give up. He constantly worked on himself and improved what he could, even when he was limited in his abilities as a blazer. He had other ways to fight others. He had to train more and a lot harder than others, but he managed to get strong on his terms, and with Naruto's help, he got even better. Naruto was the first human in Ikki's life who was willing actually to teach him something.

Naruto also didn't rely solely on his magical abilities. He trained his physical abilities more than his magical abilities since those were things he still knew from his old life. Martial Arts was a factor not used enough in this world by blazers. Most blazers mostly relied on their noble arts and magical powers. Naruto used everything he knew and even improved what he knew, created new things, and even taught Ikki some things he had created in his training. Since those things were not bound by magical power, they were the perfect addition to Ikki's skills.

Naruto walked into the bathroom and splattered cold water on his face. He shuddered slightly, feeling the cold water on his skin. It was refreshing. He looked into the mirror and saw his muscular and lean physique.

Naruto cracked his neck before leaving his bathroom, dressing up for his morning training. Before the academy started for the day and the sun rose, Naruto did intense morning training. Since he mostly used his physical abilities even when he was a B-rank Blazer overall, he trained his body and his ability to use his body more than everything else. There was also his swordsmanship, which he practiced every day. One thing new in this world was using a sword.

His device took the form of a Jian Sword, and thus, he had to make sure to be able to use it properly. He had hoped he would get something like Asuma's trench knives since he had used them before, but he had to say he understood why Sasuke liked to use a sword in battle. It was a trustworthy tool in battle to fight your opponent.

Before Naruto became a student at the Hagun Academy, he was a student of a very famous Blazer. He also learned things from this old master, the War God in Japan. Naruto took a bottle of water with him before leaving his apartment. The sun wasn't even on the horizon when Naruto stepped out of his apartment. He was used to it in his life in the elemental nations. Shinobi didn't have the luxury of sleeping long on missions outside the village.

It was normal for a Shinobi to only get 2 hours of sleep daily on a dangerous mission. Naruto began with his 30-kilometer run for the day. He ran 30 kilometers daily as part of his physical training. This was only the beginning since afterward, he would do full body exercises and, after this, train his swordsmanship. All this was done in 4 hours. There was a reason why Naruto also woke up at 3:30 a.m.

His daily training took some time. He trained with Ikki occasionally, but Ikki didn't wake up so early. He began training when the sun was rising. While Naruto did his 30-kilometer run, he remembered why he did all this, even when he first planned to sit back and relax in this life.

"Naruto, please promise me to take good care of yourself," said Kushina Uzumaki. She looked at her 5-year-old son and smiled gently.

"Mom!" said Naruto. He knew that his mother would die from her injuries. She was involved in an incident where she had to fight a strong blazer. She managed to win in the end but was injured so fatally that she couldn't survive this injury. Her opponent had the naughty ability to share his illness with others. Naruto's mother got end-stage cancer this way, and there was no way to cure her, even with magic.

Naruto's father was also dead already. He lost his life against the same guy, but unlike Kushina, he lost the battle and lost his life while he fought. Behind Naruto stood the man who would take him in because he was a good friend of Minato and Kushina.

"I promise you! I will become strong enough to defend myself and those I hold dear to me," said Naruto. Even when Naruto was already an adult in mind, seeing his mother on her deathbed took a lot to endure. "I will do anything to become strong enough!"

Naruto stopped to drink something while he looked up at the stars. He smiled when he thought about his time with his parents. Even when he was only five years old, he had experienced what it was like to be raised by them. He missed them but would honor his promise, become strong enough, and become a Blazer. Naruto placed his water bottle at his side again before continuing his run.

Naruto didn't have to use his abilities as Blazer yet since his physical abilities were always enough, but he knew he would soon reveal his abilities. The next Seven Stars Sword Art Festival was coming, and this year, the selection of the representative for the Hagun School wouldn't be decided by the old system. This year, there would be fights between the students to determine the best. Everyone had a chance to win his spot as a representative for this event. Naruto didn't plan to join this festival because he would manage to graduate no matter what. Naruto had magical powers and was a B-rank Blazer, unlike Ikki, who could only graduate if he participated in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival and won it. Sadly, the system in the school hindered him from graduating, but the new school director promised him that he would graduate if he managed to participate in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

He was still considering whether he would fight some students and then drop out or stay away from those fights from the get-go. He would like to help Ikki more since it was important to help his good friend achieve his dream. Rooting, helping, and training with Ikki was something Naruto would like to do more than participate in this entire thing.

Naruto met Ikki three hours later while he was practicing his swordsmanship. Ikki had just finished his 20-kilometer run and took a quick break before he joined Naruto in his practice.

Ikki was a young man of average height with spiky black hair and gray eyes. His lean but well-built, toned physique and cute face made him popular with younger girls and even older ladies. He was currently wearing a white sports jacket and pants. He had a towel over his head to dry off his sweaty forehead.

"Thanks again, Naruto," said Ikki while he watched Naruto swinging his Jian Sword. Naruto went through the different katas from the Whirlpool-style he inherited from his mother. Naruto knew many martial arts regarding hand-to-hand combat, but he learned only two styles of swordsmanship. The Whirlpool-Style was the original Sword Style from his mother. She created and honed it to perfection. He also learned another Sword Style from his master since this particular sword style synergized better with his magical abilities. But until he would need to use this sword style in combination with his magical powers, he would use the Whirlpool Style.

Ikki, for example, learned over 120 different martial art styles, whether for sword or hand-to-hand combat. He had this special ability called Blade Steal, where he could understand his opponent's technique while he fought him. He naturally gained it because he could only learn by watching others and replicating them before Naruto taught him things.

Naruto stopped after a circular slash. He chuckled while he relaxed his muscles and stood up straight. He looked toward Ikki and said, "I already said it often enough, Ikki. You don't need to thank me. We are friends, and friends help each other." Because of Ikki's past, he had some traumas he hadn't overcome. One side-effect of those things was him saying thank you more than once, even when Naruto told him it was enough.

"Why don't we get some wooden swords for a little battle? It's been a while since he fought with each other," said Naruto. Ikki's eyes lit up on the chance to fight Naruto again. So far, he couldn't defeat Naruto even though he knew more martial arts than Naruto. When it came down to pure swordsmanship, Ikki was better than Naruto, but Naruto had 30 years of life experience unknown to Ikki in a world where war was a constant factor.

Naruto's battles in the elemental nations gave him an unrivaled sense of battle experience. He fought more battles than most Blazers ever will in their entire life. There would also be the fact that the world of the Shinobi was just way more dangerous.

An hour later, Ikki lay on the ground with bruises. Naruto stood beside him and loomed over him with a sympathetic gaze. "Are you alright?" asked Naruto. He may or may not hit Ikki a few times during their sword fight. Ikki had great endurance but couldn't even outlast the stamina monster known as Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto began training way earlier and more intensely than Ikki, and it was understandable that Ikki didn't have as much stamina as Naruto. Naruto began training officially with his master at the age of 5, but even before that, Naruto did full-body exercises like push-ups to strengthen his body.

Ikki opened both eyes and smiled. "Yes, I am alright," said Ikki. He straightened into a sitting position on the ground and looked up, surprised to see a sports drink before his eyes.

"Here, drink something. We lost a lot of water during our fight," said Naruto as he drank from his sports drink. Ikki smiled, grateful, and took the sports drink before sipping.

Naruto and Ikki remained silent, smiling as they watched the clouds over the Hagun Academy glide through the air. Enjoying the moment after such an intense training session was always liberating. Naruto helped Ikki up, and both began to walk back toward the apartment complex. Naruto's apartment number was 405, and Ikki's 416, so they were on the same floor but not exactly neighbors.

"When does your sister come?" asked Naruto while he sipped his sports drink.

"Actually… she should come today. I am looking forward to seeing her again after four years," said Ikki. Naruto smiled and looked forward. He never had siblings, but he had Konohamaru in Konoha, who was like a little brother to him. Seeing Konohamaru always brought him joy, especially after an extended mission. Konohamaru always had this smile on his face, and this energy influenced Naruto. Even when Naruto was down or sad, when he saw Konohamaru, all his worries vanished while he spoke with him.

He looked forward to meeting Ikki's younger sister. She was the only one who noticed him while Ikki was still living with his parents. She was the only family member who didn't care that Ikki was an F-rank Blazer. He was sure that she would be an extraordinary person.

Today was Sunday, so school started tomorrow. Naruto also wondered if his new roommate would come today. It was 8:30 a.m., and the day was still young. It could be that his new roommate would appear.

"I just hope my new roommate will be a man. I don't want any unnecessary drama as I walked into my apartment, and there stood a naked woman, for example," said Naruto jokingly. Yeah… that would be very unexpected… right?

Twenty minutes later, he opened Naruto's apartment door and walked inside. He closed the door behind him and stopped when he walked past the kitchen into the open living area. The sun was blinding him for a second, but when his eyes adjusted, his mind went blank.

There stood a beautiful young woman in only her underwear. Naruto never really looked at females his age with any perverted thoughts. But this woman before him was the definition of beautiful in Naruto's eyes. She was a beautiful young woman of average height with a beautiful face, white skin, and ruby eyes. She had long crimson hair tied into twin tails using yellow ribbons. She had a bewitching body, and her boobs were very, very big, and a voluptuous figure. He was used to giant orbs of flesh at a woman's body. Tsunade was like his mother from some point on, and she had the most giant pair of tits in the elemental nations. So, typically, seeing the beautiful young woman before him shouldn't cause such an emotional reaction from him, but he had it. When he saw her, there was this tightness in his throat; his eyes were fixated on her body, and he reacted naturally. It could be because of her beautiful red hair… whatever caused it was enough. Naruto took a second too long to snap back to reality.

"AAAAAHHHH!" screamed the beauty before him, holding her hands before her breasts and turning around.

Yep… that could have gone better.
