A young man in his late teens was walking along the sidewalk drinking a can of Coke, holding a grocery bag in his left hand filled with fried chicken, rice, stir-fried vegetables, and two bottles of water. He stood with the other pedestrians for the walking signal to cross the road. During the thirty seconds of waiting time, he whipped out his phone as he heard a notification. As he looked at the message he received, it read: [Itsuka Marshall (Mom): Keisuke Marshall! When are you coming back home??!!
Seeing the message, he grinned and replied, [Keisuke Marshall: Don't worry, Mom, I will be home in two days.]
By the time he had pocketed his phone, the walking signal was almost over. Cursing under his breath, he took off running across the road, and when he reached the middle of the road, the earth shook, he lost his footing, and he fell on the road. Shaking his head, he looked up, and what he saw made his eyes go wide.
A towering tree appeared in the distance, but he could see it clearly because of its colossal size. When he looked around, he saw people slumped over on the ground, unconscious. Before he could think about what was going on, he saw a truck coming in his way without slowing down. He struggled to get up from the ground, but before he could jump out of the way, a portal appeared below his feet, and he fell through it.
The portal closed itself, and the truck went over the place the young man was standing a few seconds ago. The truck didn't slow down; it curved and collided with the building, creating an explosion in its wake.
Similar incidents were happening all over the world; accidents were occurring within minutes, and people slumped over on the spot, but none of them was hurt. Because there was a layer of shield covering them from the accidents. The shields blinked per second, and when one minute was up, the shield disappeared and the people opened their eyes from their slumber.
When they saw the colossal tree on the horizon, their faces were twisted in horror and recognition. Then slowly, their faces changed into that of determination, resolution, and cold fury. But some people had a very different expression, one of the primal sins in the world. Greed.
------------------------------------------
In a dense jungle near the foot of a mountain, a portal opened, and Keisuke was dumped on the ground, along with his phone and grocery bag. Looking around, Keisuke observed his surroundings and concluded that there's no immediate danger around him.
Sighing, he looked upward, where the portal had opened and dumped him in this jungle. Seeing nothing above him, he muttered under his breath, "Stupid portal. At the very least, inform me where you are transporting me."
Just after he said that, he clutched his head in a vice grip and opened his mouth to scream out loud. But no sound was produced from him, and his eyes became bloodshot, and his pulse quickened. Then, he fell to the ground abruptly, taking big gulps of air. His pulse started to calm down, and then, as he weakly sat up on the ground, a blue screen appeared in front of him, making him startle.

Seeing the status page in front of him made Keisuke blink a couple of times. Then a few words caught his eyes: "Chakra, Genin, Kekkei Genkai? Wait, aren't those terms from..." He stopped, and the image of the colossal tree he had seen before the portal appeared in his mind. "Bloody hell! That was the Chakra tree!! Does that mean my world is going to be sucked dry by the Otsutsuki Clan? Damn it! Then why am I in the world of Naruto? Couldn't I have stayed in my world with these powers?! Especially with the Shadow Monarch ability??!!
Suddenly, he held his head again, and he screamed at the top of his lungs. This time, every animal in his vicinity heard the scream. A few seconds later, he calmed down, and, gritting his teeth, he muttered under his breath. "What the actual fuck? Couldn't my past life memories have gotten unlocked the last round? For fuck's sake, even after I had all the powers of Shadow Monarch and Portal Creation, I died at the hands of Grass Ninja. Damn, the first run is tragic."
Shaking his head, he laid down on the ground and started to think, 'From the first run, I know that I'm in the land sandwiched between the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Rice Fields, where the hideout of Madara is located. And the time period I'm in is the final days of the First Ninja War. I did stumble upon the dead body of Tobirama Senju two months from now, in the Land of Frost. That day was the day I died, because I saw his body while his body samples were collected by the Grass Ninjas. Just because I saw them doing that, they killed me. Man, talk about bad luck'.
Rolling over, he took out the box containing fried chicken from the grocery bag and started to eat it while thinking about his special abilities. ' In my first run, I had the Shadow Monarch and Portal Creation. The Shadow Monarch skill might be similar to Ashborn and Sung Jinwoo or like the Kage Kage No Mi from One Piece, or it could be similar to Domain Expansion from Jujutsu Kaisen. As for the portal creation, it is what brought me here, I think so? From what I understand, these two skills belong to Keisuke Marshall, and the other two, Overlord Domain and Life Return, belong to Marshall Urahara. The funny thing is, I'm the same soul. I reincarnated in a new world after I died on Earth but didn't unlock my memories. But the regression made it possible, awakening two more abilities'.
Standing up from the ground, he muttered under his breath, "I really hope the Shadow Monarch ability is the same one as Ashborn and Sung Jinwoo or the Kage Kage No Mi from One Piece, and for Life Return, a skill from One Piece, training is the best way, and just by possessing this ability alone, I gained 100% Chakra control with zero waste."
Looking at the grocery bag, he thought, 'Dad and Mom might be freaking out, or if they are also regressors, then they will be out there searching for me with no luck.' Breathing in to calm down his agitated mind, he muttered under his breath, "I promise you, Mom and Dad. I'll come back to our world as soon as I can."
Breathing out a sigh, he picked up the grocery bag and placed it in his shadow, and it vanished into his shadow. Seeing that, he said with a smile, "Shadow Storage check. Now, I need to check if I can extract shadows."
Looking around, he couldn't spot anything, so he activated his first ability, "Overlord Domain."
~DING!~
[Ownerless Land detected. Do you want to designate this land as your Overlord Domain?]
[Yes/No]
He was surprised by new notification and thought, 'Does that mean I will have total control over this disputed land? Cool. YES!'
As soon as he mentally shouted YES, an invisible spherical dome appeared, extending up to the borders between the Land of Waterfalls to the West, the Land of Rice Fields to the East, the Land of Fire to the South, and the coastal region to the North. A flood of information started to pour into his head, overwhelming him to no end. He quickly cut off the connection with a mental command and made it so that he would only get information when new people came inside his Domain.
Sighing in relief, he looked towards the coastal region of his domain and thought, 'So, that's where Madara is hiding, huh? I should keep an eye on him, Black Zetsu and the White Zetsu's.'
Turning his head to the south of where he was standing, he sensed a mountain tiger sleeping soundly in its cave. With a thought, he crushed its heart and switched it with a stone that was lying in infront of him. Extending his hand towards the giant tiger, he said, "Arise."
There was no reaction, so he tried one more time: "Arise!"
No reaction. "Well, Jinwoo did try three times. So, I should try again. If that doesn't work, then I can always try the skills from other shadow users."
Taking a deep breath in and slowly breathing out, he commanded, "Arise!"
As he finished saying it, the shadow of the tiger started to move a little, and it slowly took the shape of the tiger in black skin and violet flames around it. The tiger bowed to him in submission, and seeing his first shadow soldier, he smiled and said, "Let the game begin."
