Reincarnator Sasuke

Sakura had just used a genuine A-rank ninjutsu—the Rasengan, the pinnacle of chakra shape transformation techniques.

Its source was naturally the Naruto manga book Teacher Wang Yan had given them.

That book described the Rasengan's training method in painstaking detail from an omniscient perspective.

After seeing those detailed training segments, all three genin of Team 7 had started attempting to train the Rasengan at the same time.

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

Sasuke and Naruto both assumed it was Sakura's talent at work, and since she was also the "protagonist of this world," they thought it was only natural—never sensing anything wrong.

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

Hearing his crush sing the praises of some guy who only knew how to show off, Naruto felt a wave of disgust. He stuck out his tongue and made a silly face, completely without dignity.

Sakura just sneered. "Like you could beat me either."

In her mind, if she got strong enough, Sasuke could just focus on being pretty and that would be enough.

That jab hit Naruto where it hurt. He shouted back, unconvinced: "Just wait! I'll master the Rasengan soon, and then I'll beat you!"

A boy never wants to lose face in front of the girl he likes.

As soon as the voice fell, he was already gone without a trace.

In truth, the reason Sakura could trounce Sasuke—who had already opened his Two Tomoe Sharingan—was that after the last Life Planning session, Teacher Wang Yan had tampered with her body.

He had drastically dulled her pain perception and shut down her brain's self-protection mechanisms, fully unleashing her potential.

If originally Sakura could only tap into 1% of her potential in training and combat, after Teacher Wang Yan's modification, she could easily reach 10%, and still have room to spare.

Of course, this also came with serious negative effects.

Even with Sakura's decent Chakra Control, every training session and battle left behind a mountain of hidden injuries.

If she didn't realize this, she would probably drop dead in about a year.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Being a protagonist isn't that easy.

But Teacher Wang Yan had left Sakura a way out.

As long as she became a Reincarnator and spent Reward Points on a Full Body Repair, all her problems would vanish—he could even heal soul injuries!

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Uchiha Mansion.

Sasuke had drawn the curtains, his mind churning, his heart surging.

Recalling Sakura's performance just now, he couldn't calm down at all!

"Sakura's Rasengan... she can already release and retract it at will..."

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

He spread his palm in front of him, eyes vacant, lost in a sea of worries. "The favored one of fate..."

After several days of training, Naruto was making rapid progress by cheating with Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu. At most another week, and he'd master the Rasengan too.

What's more, because that dead-last had a cheating method only he could use, he could even train a jutsu that surpassed S-rank—the Rasengan: Wind Release Shuriken.

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

His gloom and stubbornness had lessened, but he'd turned into a brooding teenager.

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

Those scenes were stirring, but since he hadn't lived through them himself, he lacked the real insight and tempering.

Don't say Sasuke didn't want the "original future" to actually happen—even if everything went as planned and he let Itachi die right in front of him, would he still have a chance to open his Mangekyō Sharingan?

The answer was already in his heart.

Sasuke was unwilling, even growing desperate.

Wasn't he the "reincarnation of Indra, eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, guardian of Konoha, sealer of Kaguya Otsutsuki, master of the Tailed Beasts, the only Independent Ninja Without Headband in the Five Great Nations"?

Then why did he feel so useless?

His Sharingan had only been opened to Two Tomoe with Teacher Wang Yan's help, still tens of thousands of miles away from the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, let alone the unreachable heights of the Rinnegan, Tenseigan, Six Tomoe Rinnegan, or Rinne Sharingan (Nine Tomoe).

Above his proud Kekkei Genkai were Kekkei Tōta and Kekkei Mōra...

The enemies that might appear in the future were suffocatingly powerful.

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

And those aliens from "far away" mentioned only in fragments of the original story.

This world might just be a farm...

"Get stronger! I have to become stronger than anyone! Only then can I control my own fate—and Itachi's fate!"

Sasuke was making a silent vow when a sudden sense of danger hit him. He twisted around sharply.

He saw that mysterious jōnin instructor, Teacher Wang Yan.

"Hah..."

Sasuke let out a bitter sigh and greeted, "Teacher Wang Yan."

He didn't think the man who could casually produce a Book of Prophecies was just an ordinary Konoha Jonin.

With the feasibility of training the Rasengan and the very real seal on Naruto's stomach, all these tangible signs had convinced Team 7 that Sakura's version of Naruto was a book of prophecies.

But because of Wang Yan's existence, most of the predetermined future had likely been shattered.

In the prophecy, Team 7's supervising jonin should have been Kakashi Hatake, the one who could teach him the Chidori!

Instead, Kakashi was now the instructor for Team 10, the Ino-Shika-Cho squad...

Maybe This world was undergoing changes that rendered prophecies invalid.

Looking at Sasuke's gloomy, despairing face, Wang Yan just smiled calmly. "Every predicament in life stems from the person's own lack of ability."

The words resounded like a great bell and chime, jolting him into realization.

Hearing this, Sasuke only sighed and said faintly, "I... can't see the path ahead."

Who could he go to for training?

Itachi?

That foolish brother would probably hit him with a Tsukuyomi on sight, not even giving him a chance to speak.

Kakashi?

They had no connection, no bond. Why would he bother teaching his prized jutsu to Sasuke?

Orochimaru?

Heh...

He wasn't tired of living yet!

Young as he was, with little experience, Sasuke understood one truth—when more than one person knows a secret, it's no longer a secret.

To show off her future marriage to him, Sakura had already shared the Book of Prophecies with her best friend, Ino Yamanaka.

And Naruto, that dead-last who wore a stiff, goofy grin while trying to mimic his Old Man, kept shouting to anyone who'd listen that he'd become the Seventh Hokage...

The Fifth and Sixth hadn't even appeared yet!

What the hell was the Seventh Hokage?

An idiot who gave himself away!

Soon enough, those Books of Prophecies would fall into the hands of all kinds of powerhouses, leaving no secrets.

Sasuke didn't think Orochimaru's information network would be so barren.

So, let's boldly imagine—knowing that a disciple who came to him would inevitably betray him, what would Orochimaru do?

Just then, an icy voice, resounding like a great bell and chime, echoed deep in his mind.

Want to possess unmatched combat power? Want the ability to control everything in your grasp? Want to revive your parents?

Yes / No

Sasuke's expression didn't change. He calmly muttered in his mind, "Yes."

The supreme contract across the multiverse and Infinite Planes was successfully signed!

From then on, Sasuke Uchiha broke free from the Shackles of fate and escaped the cage of bloodline and identity.

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

Congratulations!

Years later.

Reincarnation Space, Historical Moment Sharing Day.

The big screen was playing the clip of Sasuke just becoming a Reincarnator.

Orochimaru: Congratulations, Sasuke-kun. So this is the beginning of "My fate is mine to command"? I hear you've been getting close to a certain native of the Dou Qi plane named Xiao Yan...

Sasuke: He's not a native there... But I heard he's been having a rough time lately. Someone tampered with him, and his Dou Qi talent was crippled. So, I'm planning to invite him into the Reincarnation Space.

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

Wang Yan: What are these workers yapping about? (LOL.jpg)
