1 Introduction

Now for some notes about the story. I had a hard time choosing which universe to write in. My choices were the Naruto Universe, Star Wars Extended Universe, some random magical world from an anime, or an original story. I decided that due to my extensive knowledge of it, that my first story will be written as a reincarnation isekai based in the Naruto Universe. This choice also gives me a lot of creative freedom, within reason, to create a unique and interesting story that I can have fun with. Using a poll from a discord server that I am in, I decided to include a system in this story to assist the MC in his journey. If the novel gets popular enough, I will try to engage you guys so that you can have some say in the direction of the story. This will include, but is not limited to, possible story arcs, characters to add, abilities, locations, and events. Despite this, there is one thing that I am going to keep my stance on: I WILL NOT WRITE A HAREM INTO THIS STORY. At most, there will be a monogamous relationship but that is not even guaranteed. Many characters in the Naruto Universe do not have any romance. However, there will probably be some kind of family so that I have the ability to keep the story going. If I keep with this, I plan to keep this story going for a long time and navigate through multiple generations of the Naruto Universe. There is, however, an important thing to take note of before reading this story. For the most part, I will do my best to stick to Canon. However, I can guarantee that there will be extreme deviations from the Canon story. This will include some major events (ex: Uzushiogakure falling, Kyuubi attack, Uchiha Massacre, etc.) not occurring or being modified, supporting characters that have an impact on the story (ex: Jiraya, Neji Hyuga, Dan Kato, etc.) dying or surviving, addition of new content (abilities, bloodlines, jutsus, lore, villages, etc.), and possible altered personalities of various characters due to events being changed and the impact of other characters. THere is one last thing that I want to mention pertaining to the story. I will do my absolute best to keep this from being some generic, trashy, boring isekai about the Naruto Universe. There are a lot of these stories and some of them can be a bit boring due to the same old changes being made and a generic, overpowered MC. Due to the fact that there is a system to assist, the MC will obviously have the edge in developing his skills. However, the character that our MC will be reincarnating into is not overpowered in the first place. This will allow me to apply some buffs and still maintain balance in the world. I truly hope to be able to make this into a version of the Naruto Universe where Konoha is not on a godly plane while leaving all of the other villages in the dust. That would be generic and boring. I'll say it again, any feedback is appreciated. I want to get better at writing and creating a good story is a crucial part of that. Please tell me if something that I write is off or doesn't feel right.

Next, some notes for the writing style. I will try my best to establish clear indications of when a character is thinking and will probably write a majority of the work in first person based around the MC. In general, I will use single quotations to indicate thoughts and double quotations to indicate speech. The speech will be structured similar to that of a traditional book and follow standard english grammar. I will appreciate any feedback on grammar or spelling as I am definitely not perfect and nowhere close to experienced with this type of thing. In addition, I will include transliterations for some common Japanese phrases and speech patterns that are used. Some examples of this include "itadakimasu", "[insert name here] Sama", "hai", "sensei", "dono", etc. I will be sure to make sure that I clarify in a note for each phrase as to what it means. With this, I will also write names according to how they are said in Japanese (ex: "Uzumaki Naruto"). Since this is the Naruto Universe, one more thing is important to note. The way that jutsus/techniques are spelled out will vary. When the MC is reading or thinking about a jutsu or technique, it may be described using english (ex: "earth release"). However, I will ask that for other contexts, such as combat or dialogue, that you guys give me feedback on how you want it to be written. I will probably start by using the full Japanese transliteration and only translate the technique specific words. It will follow this example: "Doton: Doryuheki (Mud Wall)". After reading a lot of what other people have written, this is what I feel is the most comfortable way to read a jutsu/technique name. Thus, I decided to write them like this as well. If I find that a lot of you guys are suggesting that I do it some other way, I can poll and see how you guys want it to be.
