Prologue

Ben was an average guy living an average life.

He worked 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, with an average salary. Ben always wanted more but was never willing to risk what he already had. 

He repeated the same process every year, he saw his parents once every 2 weeks and made sure that he was free for Easter and Christmas so he could arrive early to help prepare dinner for the rest of his family.

One Christmas he was driving to his parents house when he noticed a little girl on the side of the road with blood coming from her leg. He pulled over as quick as possible and ran over to see if he could help her. When he got out of his car he noticed two men walking out of the wooded area behind the girl. One of the men had a large knife that looked like it could be used for cutting meat and the other man had a pistol in his right hand.

Ben had always tried to avoid trouble but he couldn’t just leave the girl to die, so against all his instincts he ran towards the men, screaming as loud as he can to draw their attention enough for the girl to escape or at least hide. 

The men turned to look at him, surprised, the man with the gun shot him in his right shoulder, the girl had still not moved so Ben decided to do something drastic. He picked up a rock and charged towards the men. 

He was shot again and again and again but never stopped his charge, he knew he was going to die so he wanted to make sure that he would go out by saving someone else.

Ben had finally reached the men and as soon as he did he swung the rock at the man with the gun. He heard a squelching sound but was not willing to look at the damage he had caused to the man. He quickly looked at the other man before feeling a burning sensation in his chest. He looked down and saw the knife that was once in the mans hand sticking out of his chest, blood pouring out of the wound and dripping to the floor. 

Using the last of his strength he swung the rock at the other mans head and heard another squelching sound. 

Ben collapsed to the ground, landing on his front which caused the knife to push through his spine and out the other side of his back. He looked to where the little girl was and saw that she was being taken care of be passerby’s who stopped to help.

Ben couldn’t help but say “Thank God” 

Little did Ben know was that he had fulfilled all the conditions to meet with the being known as God. He had contributed to the future of an entire race, saved a innocent person from evil and performed a selfless act in the last moments of his life.

Approximately 12 minutes later in God’s realm

“Huh, what’s this, where am I.”

Despite being certain he was dead Ben had woke up in a room that was completely white and seemed endless.

“Umm, hello, is anyone there, can you tell me where I am.”

[Where isn’t quite right, this isn’t a place, this just is, there is no reason to it’s existence and yet here we are, talking. With that out of the way, it is very good to meet you Ben]

“Who said that and how do you know my name”

[I am what some people call God, although I haven’t interfered with mortals for thousands of years]

“If you are god then can you tell me what happened to me”

[Well, to put it simply, you died, your soul left your body never to return to it again. Your death was very significant Ben, the girl you saved was young and innocent, yet to be touched by the dark parts to your world. She had countless possible futures but you drove her towards the best one. The men that you fought off would have gone on to be known as The Human Hunters, killing thousands of people and starting countless organisations dedicated to slaughter and destruction.

By preventing these things you have drastically changed the future of Earth. The girl you saved would go on to become a world leader and achieve world peace, reducing crime to an all time low.]

“Wow, all I wanted to do was save the girl and I ended up saving thousands of people and prevented countless wars”

[Indeed, if only the rest of you humans thought like that. Anyway, back to the reason I brought you here. Simply, I want you to reincarnate into the Naruto world, you have heard of it, right?]

“Yes, I read it recently it was good although some characters were just annoying. Itachi is by far my favourite character”

[I see, well, for your deeds I will grant you 5 wishes, they can be anything you want, there are no restrictions]

“5 wishes huh, well alright then for my first wish I want to be able to perfectly control my chakra and anything within 15 meters of me. For my second wish I want to be able to shape shift into whatever I want with no limits to it. For my third wish I want to be able to see all about myself from my chakra to health on a screen, like in a game. For my fourth wish I want to have no limits and learn 10 times faster than the best prodigy on the planet.

For my last wish, I want to have the power to protect myself and other people from any harm”

[Hmm, I can do all of that but is that all you want, you could have wished for anything and yet you limited yourself to human standards, why?]

“If I was too strong then I would alienate myself from people and would get lonely, being lonely isn’t nice, you feel like a drop of water next to the ocean, trying to reach out but never being able to reach”

[Wise words, well now we should move onto designing and making your body]

After about 4 hours of tweaking he was finally finished, satisfied with himself he turned to God and said he was finished.

[I see, well then, I wish you luck in your new life and don’t forget to pray to me if you are ever in trouble, i’ll be sure to answer]

“Thank you, God”
