Shinobi Gamer +, Chapter 1: New Game +

Synopsis: What's a girl to do when she's reborn as a ninja in the Village of the Bloody Mist? Anything and everything to ensure she doesn't become one more cannon fodder to be fed to the meat grinder known as the Great Ninja Wars. At least she has a gamer system to help her survive.

[You have died. Start New Game+?]

[ ] Yes

[ ] No

A recently deceased young woman was incredulous as a game text box appeared in her mind. She was nothing more than a soul at this point. She didn't know where she was. She barely knew who she was. The only clear thing to her was what she could imagine in her own consciousness. 

[x] Yes

[ ] New Character 

A new character? Maybe a fresh start was for the best. He wasn't an unattractive person, but he wasn't anything special, in his own opinion. How often did people get the opportunity to swap to a new body?

[Sex]

[ ] Female

[ ] Male

[ ] Intersex

Intersex? That was... very interesting, indeed. 

Her instincts told her that she was born and raised as a girl in her past life. There was absolutely no chance she wanted to be a man or be with a man. So, adding an extra appendage to her body for a little more fun in the bedroom? That drew her attention. 

[x] Intersex

Huh, maybe she should have thought about that for more than a second, but what's done is done. Hopefully, she wouldn't be born as a dude with a pussy. 

[Other options will be randomized based off later selections]

[World State Selection]

[ ] Apocalypse Now

You wake up during an apocalyptic event. The world has ended, and the remnants of humanity are struggling to survive in their new reality. What happened to the world is up to you, but be aware that life as you know it has ceased to exist. 

[ ] Parallel

You awaken in a world disarmingly similar to your own, only with a few very solid differences. The choices are yours, from an entire world of gender-swapped humans to having dogs be the dominant species on Earth. Perhaps America lost the Cold War, or the Industrial Revolution was postponed for a century. Whatever the case, nothing will be the way you remember it. 

[ ] Stranger Than Fiction 

You find yourself transported to a fictional world, with all the dangers and excitement therein. The world is chosen at random, but it will be one that you are at least passably familiar with. As recompense, you will be awarded an additional Talent Point.

[ ] The Gamer

Your life is a video game, and you can treat it as such. Awards [Gamer's Mind] and [Gamer's Body] Status Effects. The world you find yourself in is chosen at random, and it may not be one you are familiar with. 

[ ] Life: Take Two

You've been reborn in your old body in your old world, with access to all your memories and future knowledge. This knowledge will fade naturally as you age, the same as regular memories.  

There was barely any choice. Not only had she always craved a real-life gamer system, but it also let her be reborn in another world! 

[x] The Gamer

[Selecting world. Please wait...]

[Naruto Universe]

[Skill Selection]

You have been awarded four skill points based on the completion status of your previous game. Each skill may only be taken once unless specified otherwise. Effects are cumulative.

[ ] The Wolverine: You heal from injuries faster than people can make them using conventional means. Death is still possible, but anything less than full atomic annihilation can be brushed off with enough time to heal. Vulnerable to drowning and suffocation. 

[ ] Alabaster: You reset to a pristine condition every 4.3 seconds. This includes physical wounds, poisons or status effects, physical mutations, and any damage to anything you are wearing or holding at the time of reset. If you are utterly destroyed before a reset completes, you will perish. 

[ ] Wildcard: One power from the Superpower Wiki is chosen at random and given to you. Your proficiency in this power can be increased with training and heightens exponentially with age. Another Talent Point may be used to reroll for another power if the first is not desired. 

[ ] Escalation: The more damage you take, the more stress you feel, the more danger you're in… the stronger you get. Escalating your form removes wounds and status effects, as well as increases your strength, reflexes, and speed. At your highest Escalation level you are invulnerable and unstoppable, but it will take quite the fight to get you there. 

[ ] Man's Best Friend: All animals and beasts you encounter will automatically be non-hostile to you. If taken multiple times, you gain the ability to permanently tame one or more animals or beasts to be your loyal pet. May be taken (3) times. 

[ ] Planeswalker: If you survive in your current world for ten years, you gain the ability to choose a different World State upon your death with all your skills and Talents intact. Any additional Talent Points gained in this world can be used to purchase additional Talents upon relocating. 

[ ] Roll A d20: You have the option to roll a d20 before any action or decision to alter the outcome. Reality is paused while you roll. A natural 20 will guarantee a complete success, while a natural 1 will guarantee a critical failure. Consequences of rolling the d20 can be potentially fatal. 

[ ] Muggleborn: You are able to select one natural magical skill from the Harry Potter series for your use. You will not be able to use magic otherwise. Potential skills include Metamorphagus, Animagus, Apparition, Natural Legilimens, Natural Occlumens, and Parseltongue. May be taken more than once. 

[ ] Siren: Your voice is able to hypnotize or compel anything with ears into doing your will. The effect only persists as long as you continue speaking or singing, the moment you are silent for more than five seconds your control fails. 

With The Wolverine, she would never have to worry about being killed by anyone, save for the users of the particle style or those who outclassed her to the point they could destroy her entirely. 

Wildcard was too interesting to ignore. Her inner gambler wouldn't let her look away from the tantalizing option. Who knew what power she could get?

Muggleborn (Apparition) would be a lifesaver and a game-changer in a world like Naruto. There were so few space-time techniques that Obito's Kamui basically allowed him to go wherever and do whatever he wanted. 

The Fourth Hokage was one of the most powerful shinobi alive primarily thanks to the Flying Thunder God technique, which worked a lot like apparition with preset destinations. It was faster than apparition, but that may be because of the nature of shinobi and chakra as opposed to magic. The average chunin could probably kill the average wizard before they could blink, after all. Their speeds couldn't really be compared. 

She also wouldn't be giving up on the opportunity to live another life after this one. Planeswalker? Yes, please. All she needed to do was survive ten years and then she'd have a third life secured!

When she selected Wildcard, a roulette wheel appeared and began to spin. 

[x] Wildcard (Telekinesis): The power to move, manipulate or otherwise interact with matter/energy without physical means.]

Woah. 

That was... really overpowered, right? Telekinesis would let her dominate any mid to long range fight. She might even be able to fly!

With those skills she would be a force to be reckoned with in the shinobi world. She also didn't need to be tied down to any one place. Thanks to apparition, she could teleport anywhere! After she finalized her choices another wall of text immediately appeared in her mind's eye.

[Perks and Disadvantages]

You may take maximum <Three> Perks and <Three> Disadvantages. Each Perk costs <One> Talent Point. Disadvantages taken award an additional <One> Talent Point each.

[ ] (Perk) Linguist: You are preternaturally gifted with languages. You perceive every spoken language as your native tongue and can learn to read and write them with little practice. With time, you will also be able to speak and comprehend inhuman languages. 

[ ] (Perk) Incognito: The source of your Talents and powers is impossible for others to determine without you informing them outright. Mind readers cannot take the knowledge from your thoughts, truth serums cannot pull it out of you, and people will fabricate their own (false) explanations for anything unusual you do.

[ ] (Perk) Comic Book Pretty: You are always airbrushed to perfection. After the battle, your clothes are always only artfully torn, and any wounds you take will only leave aesthetically pleasing scars.

[ ] (Perk) Runscript: You can split your attention to run mental simulations to train your skills or Talents. Experience gained during your simulations is earned half as quickly as it would be should you train them in real life, but you can do other things simultaneously without detriment to your attention. Physical strength is not transferred to the real world from simulations, although muscle memory is.

[ ] (Perk) What's That Over There!: Depending on your Charisma score, you can fool an enemy into looking in the direction you pointed, giving you and your possible allies a quick attack or escape. Minimum of 1 regardless of CHA score.

[ ] (Disadvantage) Failed a Luck Check: You wake up in your new world under unfortunate circumstances and in a hostile environment. Nothing around you will be immediately lethal if you play your cards right, but you will in no way be considered safe. 

[ ] (Disadvantage) Regression: You wake up as a small child with access to your adult mind and emotions. You will have to age naturally, and any Talents or powers you possess will begin at weakened levels to compensate. 

[ ] (Disadvantage) Headhunted: Every shadowy organization in the world wants a piece of you for one reason or another. They will never stop hunting you. Other organizations will only stop their pursuit if you are captured by one of them or become powerful enough to be untouchable. 

[ ] (Disadvantage) Like a Duckling: You imprint on the first person of authority you encounter in your new world. You are compelled to obey them but can resist their orders with effort. You are not compelled to remain around them and will not be compelled to obey any orders you are not present to witness.

[ ] (Disadvantage) Who's Your Daddy? (or Mommy?): Uh oh, it looks like your father isn't who you think he is. Taking this disadvantage means you inherit your father's allies and enemies. You may also inherit the odd ability from your unknowing donor, such as artistic ability, or maybe you can burp really well. Unfortunately, that also translates to failing abilities as well. Baldness could be a family trait! The only catch is that you have to find them first. What will the draw be? Hero or Villain? Or some boring nobody? 

Linguist was pretty useless in the Elemental Nations as most people just spoke one language, she was fairly certain. There could be a big difference between fiction and reality, but she doubted it. The Elemental Nations were much smaller and closer together than any of the disparate nations of her old world. 

Hate her if you want, but Comic Book Pretty was going to be one of her choices. Fuck the haters. Appearance was vital to a great many things in life. It wouldn't be good for her clothes to be torn to shreds in the middle of an intense battle.

She already wouldn't scar easily thanks to her healing factor. With this perk she would never have to worry about getting injured anywhere near her face, chest, thighs, or pretty much anywhere that would make her look less than perfect. 

Runscript was a no-brainer that would help her become competent enough to survive in a death world faster than anyone else, with far fewer risks. 

She would probably have to choose Incognito as well. It was way too useful to be immune to mind reading. It might even help with some of the other mind or soul related jutsus in the Naruto world. Not to mention protecting her secrets from someone like Danzo or Orochimaru.

She also didn't know how many game mechanics would affect her new life. What if there were instant dungeons or party mechanics? It was better to be safe than sorry. No need for people to be more interested in her than they were undoubtedly already going to be. 

Her disadvantages were basically chosen for her. There were only three that she was willing to put herself through. Headhunted and Like a Duckling were just asking for an early death as some mob character.

[Who's Your Daddy? (or Mommy?): Bloodline Selection]

She was stunned as a wheel flashed before her, displaying many different bloodlines and clans in the Naruto universe. Although she was looking at the options, she noticed that there were two arrows like on a clock. Was that for her parents? She thought it was only one of them. She touched the glowing wheel, and it began to spin.

Round and round, the arrows spun before they began to slow.

Terumi Clan - Mother, Special Jonin

[.....] - Father, Jonin

Terumi? Like Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage? Mei had two powerful bloodline limits, so there was a chance she would have them too! Nice! Hopefully, her unknown father didn't come with too much baggage. From what she knew, the Terumi Clan and the Hidden Mist Village were more than enough trouble on their own.
