…
Family?
Who knows?
After being reborn as Uzumaki Naruto for ten years, his past-life memories finally awakened.
Only then did he realize—he had lived before.
Inside a small apartment in Konoha, a blond-haired boy lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
He was Uzumaki Naruto, the Jinchūriki of the Hidden Leaf Village.
And just moments ago, his past-life memories had resurfaced.
He remembered everything.
He had been reborn.
And not just any rebirth—he had known the original story.
Naruto wasn't fond of the protagonist's journey.
He preferred a quiet, ordinary life.
But fate had other plans.
He was a Jinchūriki.
A target.
A weapon.
"Sigh…"
A bitter expression crossed his youthful face as he exhaled deeply.
Just as he resigned himself to a future of hardship—
His cheat arrived.
[Ding!]
[The Character Simulation System has been successfully bound.]
[Host can create a character and simulate their life based on the assigned attributes.]
[After the simulation ends, the system will evaluate the character and issue rewards.]
[Additionally, the Host may choose to inherit one ability or item from the simulated character.]
Naruto bolted upright, blinking in surprise.
After a brief pause, he immediately thought:
"Start the simulation!"
[Ding!]
[Host, don't you want an explanation first?]
Naruto smirked.
"Please, I've read enough fanfics to know how this works. Simulation systems are nothing new."
[Ding!]
[Host has consumed a simulation attempt. Beginning character creation.]
[Character surname randomly selected: Shanso.]
Naruto frowned.
"Random? I don't get to choose?"
[Ding!]
[Note: After each simulation, Host's customization options will increase by +1.]
"Hmm… So the more I simulate, the more control I have?"
Good. That meant better characters in the future.
"Alright, system, continue."
[Character talent randomly selected: Heiji.]
Naruto paused.
As a veteran Naruto fan, it took him a second to place the name.
"Wait… wasn't that one of Hanzō's lackeys?"
A nobody.
A side character.
Fantastic.
[Character health randomly selected: Kurama Yakumo.]
Naruto: "????"
"A weak constitution AND a chronic illness?!"
[Character IQ randomly selected: Hidan.]
Naruto's eye twitched.
"Oh, come on—"
[Character personality randomly selected: Sasuke (Rebellious Phase).]
Naruto: "…"
[Character relationships randomly selected: Uchiha Madara (Leaving Konoha version).]
[Character appearance randomly selected: Kisame (Post-Human Experiment).]
[Character hobbies randomly selected: Greed (like Kakuzu).]
[Character skills randomly selected: Danzo ("You Will Regret This" version).]
[Final Character Summary:]
Name: Shanso
Talent: Heiji (mediocre at best)
Health: Terminally ill (Kurama Yakumo)
IQ: Rock-bottom (Hidan level)
Personality: Edgy, ungrateful (Sasuke's worst phase)

[Character Evaluation:]
"You are a pitiful civilian.
Your talent is so poor that becoming a ninja is impossible.
Your health is so frail that you'll die young.
You have almost no intelligence. (Hidan: ?!)
Your personality is insufferable.
No one wants to befriend you.
You're so ugly it's painful to look at.
You love money above all else.
You specialize in betrayal. (Sarutobi, you'll regret this!)
Verdict: A wasted existence."
Naruto massaged his temples.
"What kind of cursed RNG is this?!"
This character was a disaster.
A walking failure.
But… it was just a simulation.
"System, proceed."
[Simulation timeline randomly selected: The Third Shinobi War.]
[Character birthplace randomly selected: Konoha Village.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Year 1: You are born. Your parents abandon you immediately due to your hideous appearance and illness.]
[Year 1: You are sent to Konoha's orphanage. Despite your flaws, Yakushi Nonō treats you kindly, gathering herbs to ease your condition. You survive until age 3.]
[Year 3: You befriend Yakushi Kabuto, the only child who doesn't shun you. He talks to you despite your looks.]
[Year 6: As you grow, Danzo forces the orphanage director on a mission. Kabuto is recruited into Root. Your illness worsens, but Kabuto secretly sends you medicine.]
[Year 8: Your greed takes over. You consider selling the medicine Kabuto risked his life to obtain.]
[Your choice:]
1. Use the medicine yourself.
2. Sell it for ryō.
Naruto sighed.
"Obviously, use it."
[You choose to use the medicine… but your greed wins. You only take one dose and sell the rest.]
Naruto: "…"
"This guy is hopeless."
[Year 10: You attempt to become a ninja. You fail—your talent is nonexistent.]
[Year 11: You try to train as a samurai. You fail—your body is too weak.]
[Year 12: You seek work in Konoha. You fail—no one wants to hire you.]
[Year 13: During the war, Konoha is attacked. Kabuto risks his life to save you. But in your arrogance, you blame him for your misery. He leaves, disgusted.]
Naruto groaned.
"Seriously?! Kabuto went out of his way to help you, and you pull this?!"
This character was insufferable.
[Year 14: With no income, you turn to looting corpses for war profits.]
[Your choice:]
1. Risk scavenging battlefields.
2. Refuse and stay poor.
Naruto smirked.
"You're already doomed. Might as well make me some ryō."
"Go loot. Die if you have to—just leave me the money."
[You scavenge battlefields, hoarding ryō. But your illness worsens as you refuse to spend money on treatment.]
"Good. Keep saving."
[Year 15: On your deathbed, Hiruzen Sarutobi asks you to donate your wealth to the orphanage that raised you. You refuse.]
[You die—alone, hated, and remembered by no one.]
[Simulation ended.]
[System Evaluation:]
"In your short, miserable life, you betrayed everyone who showed you kindness. You repaid Yakushi Nonō's care with ingratitude. You drove away Kabuto, your only friend. You lived only for ryō—and died with nothing."
[Rating: 1/10]
[Reward: Minor physical enhancement (Level 1).]
[Bonus Selection Unlocked: Money ]
Naruto sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"Well… that was a train wreck."
But at least he got something out of it.
