Naruto World — White Realm
The world around him was weightless and pale—
a realm of drifting nothingness.
A place where even time seemed unsure if it should move.
Akira stood in silence.
Before him, the glowing script of the Enhanced Lucky Simulation slowly faded, its final lines dissolving like mist.
Even after the last word vanished, he remained still, eyes fixed on the empty air.
He hadn't expected it.
Not this.
Not a simulation so intense…
so heavy…
so terrifyingly possible.
He didn't even know how to describe what he had just witnessed.
But one thing was clear—
if events truly followed the path shown in the simulation,
he would walk toward the Infinite Tsukuyomi without hesitation.
The thought lingered like a cold echo.
As the silence stretched, Akira exhaled slowly, waiting for the next part—
the verdict, the calculations, the consequences.
A faint ripple passed through the White Realm.
Light gathered before him, forming a tablet of luminous chakra.
Simulation Ending...
Rewards Calculating...
Warning: Enhanced Lucky Mode detected.
First-time reward selection identified.
Bonus privilege granted — choose two rewards.
1. Kage-level Chakra
2. Kage-level Five Element Ninjutsu Mastery
3. Mangekyō Sharingan
4. Kage-level Genjutsu Mastery
5. Kage-level Taijutsu
6. Konoha Sealed Scroll
7. Yatagarasu's Blessing
Due to the Son of Luck+ buff, all selected rewards will be optimized for the host.
---
Akira's gaze drifted across the glowing list.
Each option radiated its own weight… its own promise.
But one of them made him pause.
Yatagarasu's Blessing.
He narrowed his eyes.
"System," he asked quietly,
"what is Yatagarasu's Blessing?"
For a moment—nothing.
Then a ripple of light pulsed through the realm.
[System Response]:
Yatagarasu is the host's first summoned beast in this simulation.
Thus, its blessing naturally refers to the blessing of Yatagarasu.
Akira's lips twitched.
Of course that's what it means, he thought.
What he wanted to know was what the blessing did.
But he already knew the system wouldn't give specifics.
He let the sarcasm die in his throat.
He folded his arms, thinking.
Minutes passed.
Finally, he exhaled.
"…Alright. I've decided."
He looked at the tablet again—
at the seven paths laid out before him.
Mangekyō Sharingan.
Yatagarasu's Blessing.
The other rewards were powerful—
but they were things he could obtain with time, training, or future simulations.
But Yatagarasu's Blessing…
that felt like a one-time, unrepeatable chance.
A gamble—
but a logical one.
He nodded.
"System," he said firmly,
"I choose Option 3 and Option 7."
[System]:
Selection confirmed.
Optimizing Mangekyō Sharingan.
The White Realm flickered.
Optimized Result:
Mangekyō Sharingan → Three-Tomoe Sharingan
Bonus: Indra Ōtsutsuki – Complete Bloodline Integration
Akira's eyes widened.
"…Huh?"
Then he frowned sharply.
"Hey, System—why give me a three-tomoe Sharingan and Indra's complete bloodline instead of the Mangekyō I picked?
I'm confident I can awaken the Mangekyō now—
without any bloodline disease!"
[System]:
The host can indeed awaken it now.
However, with Indra's complete bloodline,
your Mangekyō will awaken directly as an Eternal Mangekyō—
perfectly stable, with none of the flaws present
in Madara's or Sasuke's incomplete versions.
No transplant. No sibling required.
Akira blinked.
Silence stretched.
"…Ah."
That… actually made sense.
He didn't have a brother.
He didn't have a sister.
He had no one's eyes to transplant.
But with Indra's full bloodline—
He could awaken the eyes freely,
without consequences.
"…Fine," he muttered.
"If that's how it works… it's acceptable."
Besides—
he could awaken the Mangekyō in the next simulation anyway.
The tablet shimmered.
Then—
Light.
Heat.
Power.
Something ignited deep within his pupils.
His Sharingan spun violently—
two tomoe swirling, reshaping,
becoming ancient.
His chakra surged,
rising to heights he had never imagined.
His senses sharpened—
every vibration in the void,
every shift of chakra,
every whisper of space—
He felt all of it.
Minutes passed.
Then—
Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Akira inhaled shakily.
"…This is… too strong."
He could feel it—
genjutsu depths like oceans,
perception sharper than any two-tomoe could dream of.
And then—
his second reward descended.
He expected a divine aura.
A voice.
Some celestial revelation.
Instead—
A single black feather floated before him.
A raven's feather.
"…What?" Akira frowned.
"System, what does this mean?"
[System Response]:
The feather is Yatagarasu's beacon.
Use it to locate him.
Once you touch the feather to Yatagarasu's true body,
the dormant blessing will activate.
Akira stared at it silently.
"…So I have to find him first."
The feather pulsed faintly in his hand.
A distant caw echoed beyond the void.
---
Akira entered his room with the feather still in hand.
The moment he stepped inside—
The irritation began.
A strange itch crawled beneath his skin—
like thousands of ants marching through his veins.
A suffocating sense of possessing something priceless,
yet completely unreachable.
He clenched his teeth.
"Damn it… this feeling…"
He sat on his bed for nearly half an hour,
but the pressure only grew worse.
Finally—
"…I can't stay still anymore."
He slipped out quietly.
His parents were still awake;
their voices drifted softly from the living room.
Akira didn't want questions.
He didn't want to lie.
So he simply opened the window
and disappeared into the night.
---
Konoha lay peaceful under the moonlight.
Lamp posts flickered softly,
and the Hokage Monument watched over the village as always.
Akira walked quickly—
the feather's faint pulse guiding him.
He reached Kakashi's home.
Lights were still on.
He knocked.
A moment later, Kakashi opened the door—
book in hand, eye widening in surprise.
"…Akira?
I was expecting you tomorrow, not at… whatever time this is."
Akira didn't waste time.
"Kakashi-senpai. I need your help."
Kakashi sighed inwardly.
He had prepared himself to mentor this kid—
but not to be dragged into mysteries before training even began.
Still—
He stepped aside.
"Come in."
---
Kakashi poured a glass of water.
Akira downed it in one breath.
"This isn't about Chronarch," Akira said quickly,
a hint of embarrassment in his voice.
"This is… personal. But extremely important."
Kakashi studied him.
The intensity in Akira's eyes wasn't childish.
"…I see."
Kakashi nodded.
"Then let's go."
---
Hokage's Office
Tsunade was still awake.
Her office was a battlefield of paperwork—
seals, ink, documents…
and a half-finished bottle of sake she pretended belonged to Shizune.
A knock sounded.
"Come in," she called.
Akira and Kakashi entered.
Akira bowed.
Kakashi explained the situation—
vague, but clear enough.
Akira needed Tsunade's help,
and possibly the Slug Sage's support,
for something highly important.
Tsunade eyed the boy.
"…Akira. Does this count as using the favor from before?"
Akira really wanted to say no.
But he couldn't.
"…Yes," he said quietly.
"I need the help of the Slug Sage."
