Reincarnator Sasuke

What Sakura had used just now was indeed a bona fide A-rank ninjutsu, the Rasengan—the pinnacle of Chakra shape transformation techniques.

Naturally, it had come from the Naruto manga Wang Yan had given them.

The manga described the Rasengan's training method in extraordinary detail from a godlike perspective.

After the three Genin of Team 7 saw those detailed training sequences, they all began attempting to master the Rasengan without prior discussion.

Yet after several days, Sakura Haruno was the only one who succeeded.

Both Sasuke and Naruto assumed this was Sakura's natural talent. Since she was also the "world's protagonist," they found it perfectly natural and noticed nothing amiss.

"Humph! What's so great about Sasuke... He can't even beat you now!"

Hearing the girl he liked praise that guy who did nothing but show off all day, Naruto felt annoyed. He stuck out his tongue without a shred of dignity and pulled a face.

Sakura merely sneered. "As if you could beat me."

As far as she was concerned, if she became strong enough, Sasuke only needed to be pretty.

Her words struck a sore spot, and Naruto shouted indignantly, "Just wait! I'll master the Rasengan soon, and then I'll beat you!"

Boys never wanted to admit defeat in front of girls they liked.

As soon as the voice fell, he ran off and vanished from sight.

In truth, the reason Sakura could defeat Sasuke, who had now awakened his Two Tomoe Sharingan, was because Wang Yan had altered her body after their last Life Planning session.

He had drastically weakened her pain perception, blocked her brain's self-preservation mechanisms, and completely unleashed her potential.

If Sakura had originally only been able to draw out a potential of 1 during training and battle, then after Wang Yan's modifications, she could easily reach 10—with strength to spare.

Of course, this would also produce rather severe negative effects.

Even with Sakura's decent Chakra Control, every training session and battle still left behind countless hidden injuries.

If she failed to realize this, she would probably die suddenly within a year.

He who wears the crown must bear its weight.

Being the protagonist was not so easy.

However, Wang Yan had also left Sakura a way out.

As long as she became a Reincarnator and spent Reward Points on a Full Body Repair, every problem would disappear. Even soul injuries could be healed!

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Uchiha Mansion.

Sasuke drew the curtains. His thoughts surged, and his heart churned.

Recalling Sakura's performance just now, he simply could not calm down!

"Sakura's Rasengan has already reached the point where she can use and dismiss it at will..."

Sasuke gave a bitter laugh. "As expected of the protagonist."

He spread his palm before him, his eyes vacant and his thoughts heavy. "One favored by fate..."

After several days of training, Naruto had progressed at breakneck speed by cheating with the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu. In another week at most, he would also master the Rasengan.

What was more, that dead last could use a cheating method available only to him to cultivate an S-rank-plus ninjutsu: Rasengan: Wind Release Shuriken.

After reading the Naruto manga from Sakura's perspective, Sasuke had learned the truth behind many things.

Much of his gloom and obsession had faded, but he had become a melancholy youth.

In the book, Sasuke saw Itachi's hardships and his feelings for him. He also saw Itachi's sacrifices and devotion.

Those scenes stirred his heart, but after all, he had not experienced them personally. Something was missing—the understanding and tempering they would have brought.

Don't say Sasuke was unwilling to let the "predestined future" truly happen. Even if everything developed exactly as before and he allowed Itachi to die before his eyes, would he still have a chance to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?

The answer was already in his heart.

Sasuke was unwilling to accept it, even gradually falling into despair.

Wasn't he supposed to be "the reincarnation of Indra, eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths; Konoha's protector; Kaguya Otsutsuki's seal-bearer; the master of the Tailed Beasts; and the Five Great Nations' only Independent Ninja Without Headband"?

Why did he feel so worthless?

With Teacher Wang Yan's help, his Sharingan had only reached Two Tomoe. The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was still unimaginably far away, not to mention such unattainable existences as the Rinnegan, Tenseigan, Six Tomoe Rinnegan, and Rinne Sharingan with its Nine Tomoe.

Beyond the Kekkei Genkai he had once been proud of lay the Kekkei Tōta and Kekkei Mōra...

The enemies who might appear in the future were powerful enough to suffocate him.

Obito Uchiha, Uchiha Madara, Kaguya Otsutsuki, Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Urashiki Otsutsuki, Kinshiki Otsutsuki...

And the extraterrestrials from "afar," mentioned only in passing in the original work.

This world might merely be a breeding ground...

"Stronger! I must become stronger than anyone else! Only then can I control my own fate, and Itachi's fate!"

As Sasuke silently swore this oath, a warning suddenly rose within him. He swiftly turned aside.

He saw the unfathomable Jonin instructor, Wang Yan.

"Phew..."

Sasuke let out a breath and greeted him bitterly. "Teacher Wang Yan."

He did not believe that someone who could casually produce a Book of Prophecies was merely an ordinary Konoha Jonin.

Because of the Rasengan's proven trainability, combined with the undeniably real seal on Naruto's stomach, all kinds of real-world evidence had convinced the three members of Team 7 that Sakura's version of Naruto was indeed a Book of Prophecies.

However, because of Wang Yan's existence, much of the predetermined future might already have been destroyed.

According to the Book of Prophecies, Team 7's Jonin instructor should have been Kakashi Hatake, the man who would teach Sasuke the Chidori!

Yet now, Kakashi was Team 10's Ino-Shika-Cho squad's Jonin instructor...

Perhaps something was happening in this world that was invalidating the prophecy.

Looking at Sasuke's gloomy, despairing expression, Wang Yan merely smiled calmly. "Every hardship in this world is caused by the person involved lacking sufficient ability."

The words rang out like a great bell and chime, jolting him awake.

Yet Sasuke merely sighed and said quietly, "I... cannot see the road ahead."

Who could he ask to train him?

Itachi?

That foolish older brother would probably hit him with Tsukuyomi the moment they met, without giving him any chance to speak.

Kakashi?

They had no relationship and no connection. Why would Kakashi teach him his prized ninjutsu?

Orochimaru?

Heh...

Sasuke was not tired of living yet!

Though Sasuke was young and inexperienced, he at least understood one principle—when more than one person knew a secret, it was no longer a secret.

To show off the fact that she would marry him in the future, Sakura had already shared the Book of Prophecies with her close friend, Ino Yamanaka.

Naruto, that dead last who wore a stiff, foolish grin all day while trying to imitate his old man, also kept shouting to everyone that he would become the Seventh Hokage someday...

The Fifth and Sixth had not even appeared yet!

What the hell was the Seventh Hokage?

An idiot who had given himself away!

Before long, those Books of Prophecies would surely fall into the hands of heroes from every faction. There would be no secrets left to speak of.

Sasuke did not believe Orochimaru's intelligence network was so barren and lacking.

So let him make a bold assumption—if Orochimaru knew that a disciple delivered to his doorstep would inevitably become a traitor, what would he do?

At that moment, an icy voice, resounding like a great bell and chime, sounded deep in the mind of Sasuke.

Do you wish to possess invincible combat power? Do you wish to possess the ability to hold everything in your hands? Do you wish to resurrect your parents?

Yes/No

Sasuke's expression did not change. Without giving anything away, he muttered inwardly, Yes.

The supreme contract of the multiverse and Infinite Planes had been successfully signed!

From this moment on, Sasuke Uchiha had broken free from fate's shackles and escaped the cage of bloodline and identity.

He was no longer a native of the Naruto plane, but a proud Reincarnator.

Congratulations!

Many years later.

Reincarnation Space, Historical Moments Sharing Day.

On the large screen, the scene of Sasuke becoming a Reincarnator was playing.

Orochimaru: Congratulations, Sasuke-kun. Is this the beginning of "my fate is mine, not Heaven's"? I heard you have recently grown close to a native from a Battle Qi plane named Xiao Yan...

Sasuke: He is not a native of that plane... However, I heard he has been doing terribly lately. I don't know who tampered with things, but his Battle Qi talent was crippled. So I intend to invite him into the Reincarnation Space.

Young Tsunade: Xiao Yan? That name sounds familiar... Right! I saw him in a tragic romance novel called The Demise of Nalan Yanran...

Wang Yan: What are these workers talking about? (Funny.jpg)
