I have always been a Naruto fan all my life - or at least till I was alive.

A few minutes back, while crossing a street, I saw a cat in the middle of the road. The little kitty had no idea that a truck was running over at full speed - my god - I tell you, people these days don't have any sense of humanity. They don't see who or what is in their path, all they want is to reach what they desire and fulfill their longings and cravings.

Continuing, the truck was just about to hit the cat, but I had to pretend like a hero - and save the damsel from distress. Hmm... much like save the kitty from being dead. Yes, saving the kitty.

Well, that aside, now I am feeling as though my whole body is floating. Weird... shouldn't I feel hurt being hit by a truck. Weird, I guess. Anyhow, the strange thing is that I can't feel my body - no, wait - to be exact I can't feel any part of my body. It felt surreal but at the same time, I did not know what to do.

I didn't know what to do other than enjoy the floating sensation. So, that's what I did.

Not knowing for how long being in that godforsaken state, I finally stopped floating - or rather the sensation stopped all at once. That's when I heard a voice as deep as a well.

"Young man, first of all, thank you for saving my friend, Shirbi. Even though she would not be killed by a mortal truck, still, the kindness with which you put your life on the line is commendable."

The voice had an unspeakable charm to it but I tried to focus on what he mentioned rather than what I felt. Shirbi... who is she? I don't know any person named Shirbi, much less save her.

Wait... did he say, truck? I did try to save a cat, is it talking about him?

"Um... excuse me, whoever you are, but are you talking about the cat I just tried to save?" I asked in confusion to god knows who but I was sure enough that the other party would respond. Well, what else could I do other than that?

"Oh! I am sorry for not introducing myself, you can call me Akira, and yes, you are correct, young man. The cat that you just end up saving is one of my best friend, Shirbi. I am really impressed to see that there are still kind and courageous individuals like you, who end up sacrificing one's life for someone else, still, exist in this society."

I was pleased with all the praise showering upon me. But I soon realized something and tried to voice out my query, "So, Sir Akira, I can't feel my body to which I presume I died in the accident. Correct?"

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Um... yes you are correct," he responded. I felt as if he was going to carry on explaining what is going on but looks like I have to take the initiative myself.

"So, Sir Akira, the reason that I am meeting you is?" I, instead of beating around the bush, went straight up ahead and wanted an answer, though to be quite honest, I had a feeling of what he is going to reply.

"Ah... it's simple enough. Let me explain it to you then. It goes like this since you died because of my friend, I don't intend to get away with just thanking you. Instead, I will give you another chance to live your life so this time you can die with no regrets whatsoever."

So I was being reborn... hm... wait- doesn't being reborn mean I will...

"Excuse me, Sir Akira but can I take some liberty and ask you one question?"

"Sure, go ahead. As long as it is not something I am forbidden to tell you, I will answer it."

"Ok then, you said that I am being reborn, right?"

"Yes, correct."

"So does that mean my memories and life experience from this life will vanish completely?"

This is the thing that has been haunting me the most. Just to be clear, I don't really care about my life here or about any fucking life experience. Instead, all I care about is the manga that I absolutely, under any circumstance, am not going to give up. Even if it costs me my chance of being reborn.

"Hm... do you have some unfinished business or something that is stopping you from forgetting all these? As far as I checked, you don't have much of an attachment to any worldly being, right?" Akira was confused and rightly so. How could he - even in his wildest of imaginations - think that I, a mere mortal, am rejecting the chance of being reborn because of a manga. Well not that I particularly care though.

"You are correct, Sir Akira. I don't particularly care about anyone back there. But there is something I can't give up no matter what. And that is - the Naruto Sage. I don't want to be reborn again if the cost is to totally forget about it." I declared. And unlike the other times, when I sounded weak and scared talking to Sir Akira, this time, I was totally in control and spoke up with full confidence and determination.

To hell with the ability to reborn, I don't want such a thing when compared to my precious memory of Hinata-chan, oh... Tsunade-sama... no wait... what am I thinking - it's the Naruto Saga that I can't forget no matter what. Yes, it's the Naruto Sage.

"Well, that's not much of a problem. I can reincarnate you with all of your memories of Naruto intact. How does that sound to you?"

"Really?" I was delighted and replied in a hurry in case Sir Akira changes his decision, "Ok, I agree. Please do what you must."

"He-he... don't worry. All preparations and complete. Oh! and let me tell you that you will not remember me, the only thing that you will remember or... let's say inherit from here on - is your knowledge of Naruto Universe. Any question?"

"No, absolutely not."

Why would I have any opposition? I definitely wanted to live and when given the chance, only a fool would reject such a godsend opportunity.

"Very good, now final gift before parting. Let me tell you, young man, that I have decided to reincarnate you in the World of Naruto. Bon Voyage!"

What! Really? I wanted to thank Sir Akira from the bottom of my heart but I was sucked away by a powerful force and could not resist even for a second before my consciousness faded away and I lost all the memories of us as well.
