My New Life is Harder Than Expected(Naruto SI-Waifu Catalog) (Patreon)

Prologue

Running between alleyways, I once again cursed at how I found myself in this situation.

Here I thought after dying once already, I wouldn’t have to worry about anything else anymore but yet here I was trying to run away from two pursuers who were after my life. Well… it was technically one pursuer but I knew for a fact that there was a hidden one in the shadows that wouldn’t hesitate to end my life.

I’m getting a little ahead of myself though.

As to how exactly I found myself in this situation, well that has to do with what happened after I got accidentally shot while I was out shopping while on vacation in Italy. And here I was thinking if that ever happened to me, it would be by the way of truck-kun or something.

Last thing I remembered was a searing hot pain in my head for but a moment before darkness took over. What I did not expect however was waking up after what seemed like a restful night of sleep and being greeted by this thing in a small office.

The thing, and there was really nothing else I could really call it as my head hurt even trying to look at it, had then briefly explained that I had died and they had a deal for me.

I had found out that the Waifu Catalog was in fact real and I was being offered the position of a new Contractor.

Confused but happy nonetheless at being offered a new lease on life, I accepted without hesitation and immediately got to picking out a build for myself when I was handed my Company Phone.

In my naivete I dismissed the warning at the back of my head that was almost shouting at me that the deal was almost too good to be true.

Of course, my worries proved true as almost immediately after completing my build, I was immediately whisked away with the last thing I heard from the thing being an ominous good luck. That’s the last time I jump into something without asking for specifics that was for damn sure.

Immediately after I arrived at my chosen world, I received a notification from The Company about making a small change on the Mission I had decided to take.

My blood almost literally froze as I read the change, they had made to the Uchiha’s Resurgence mission.

The Uchiha massacre, a terrible event in Konoha resulting from hate, foolishness and manipulation, the Uchiha clan once mighty and proud reduced to three living members, the descendants of Indra were exterminated by none other than Itachi, a genius of the clan that brought extinction to protect the village, but what if someone else survived Itachi's genocide other than Sasuke? what if that someone was you?

Contractor, by accepting this mission you shall appear in the Uchiha compound moments before Itachi starts his slaughter of the clan, your first objective of this mission will be of course to survive no matter how. And after that what you may ask, simple become strong, stronger than any other shinobi in Konoha, make sure all the responsible of your clan massacre are dead, revive your clan take many wives and make many children, and make sure your clan is the strongest in the entire village.

Taking into account all the possible dangers you may face, because of your status (cough... Danzo cough... Orochimaru), as a bonus for taking this mission you shall receive two "Gifts", but only after you have survived the massacre, after all we can't waste an investment.

The first "Gift" will be the awakening of your Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, though before you start celebrating, do remember that it is quite pricey to use when it comes to Chakra, so don't hope to be able to spam its abilities from the get go, the perk "Inexhaustible" would resolve the problem tough.

As for its abilities, upon first activation of the Sharingan you will be able to choose two abilities from others Mangekyo Sharingan or create two new custom ones with the help of the company, but these new abilities can't exceed by far the power of the original Mangekyo abilities.

For your second gift you shall choose two between the jutsu arts (Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Fūinjutsu...) you will be able to learn these arts with extreme ease attaining complete mastery over any jutsu of the chosen arts withing a couple of days at most, and if and only if you have a pocket space, you shall also receive scrolls containing all jutsu of the chosen arts.

To help you in your adventure and enhance entertainment you provide, we have put together some optional condition you may choose to take.

-Accepts this mission during Chargen phase. You will receive a bonus of 50 credits and will be guaranteed to have a total of 3 chakra affinities.

-You may choose to have an age closer to Sasuke during the massacre, being at most one year older. You will receive 100 credits, but be warned, in that case your lures will only be able to create friendly relationship, and generate affection in adults no more than a parent's love for its child, to obtain the full effect of your lures and eventual bindings you must first reach the appropriate age.

-Lose the ability to buy companions not of Naruto's world for the duration of this mission. Receive 50 credits.

P.S. Your Templates and the powers of your Possessed target will only kick in if you manage to survive the night. Good luck 😊

At the bottom of the mission in handwriting, there was a small note from presumably that thing I had just met that with a few words had proceeded to immediately ruin my evening.

Here I was thinking I had chosen a perfect world that was not too dangerous and would allow me to grow in power rapidly with the build I had chosen for myself while still being relatively strong with Rimuru Tempest’s powers.

Instead, I was forced to run away for my life the minute I had been inserted in, having nothing but my Defenses and Talents to help me. At least I had already managed to save the tier5 Companion I had been gifted with for being under the First Contractor or something. I hadn’t really paid too much attention if I was being honest, being too happy at the free waifu.

All my thoughts ground to a halt as I felt a presence behind me.

“Found you."

Was all I heard before I once again felt that now familiar feeling of searing hot pain this time coming from my stomach.

Looking down I saw a small blade of what could only be a tanto sticking out of the side of my stomach with blood already running down my feet.

‘Cough’

Falling down to my knee I turned my head just in time to see the unmistakable red eyes of the Sharingan glaring back at me from a teen of 12 or 13 making him only 4 or 5 years older than me.

Oh, right. Did I forget to mention that I was now back to being a literal child again being only 8 years old?

Because I was!

“I ‘cough’ ‘cough’ will kill you one day Itachi. I swear it!” I muttered in almost a whisper with my eyes narrowing in hate and loathing at the teen behind me making him blink once as if in surprise.

“…”

Not hearing anything from the teen and just receiving a blank look in return only made the hate inside my heart grow almost tenfold to the point that I almost forgot there was still a sword lodged in my back and stomach.

“Ghhrk!” With a pained grunt I fell face first into the floor as the tanto was dislodged.

Looking up with some difficulty I wanted to snarl as I watched Itachi carelessly flick my blood away from his tanto before jumping into a rooftop and continuing with his slaughter. Even though in the back of my mind I knew that he probably meant to end it quickly and move on, I couldn’t help but resent him for just dismissing me like that.

“Fuck you.” I muttered in a whisper. ‘And here you were one of my favorite Naruto characters while I was growing up. I no longer feel bad anymore for stealing Izumi from you, you fuck! We’ll see who gets the last laugh at the end.’ I promised silently while holding my hand over my stomach trying to stem the blood flow.

Thankfully thanks to my Body Tune-Up perk, my body was sturdier than it had any right to be under my baggy clothes which is probably what ended up saving my life. Having a bit of knowledge on biology I could tell that Itachi had luckily missed any vitals so as long as I stopped the bleeding, I should be alright for a few hours.

Hopefully long enough for my powers to finally kick in and regenerate from the stab wound.

Putting those thoughts aside for now I slowly crawled my way to the nearest building and let myself in all the while cursing like a sailor in my mind at the pain it caused me. Once inside I was quick to rip off my sleeves, once again thanking my sturdy body, and applying pressure to my puncture wounds.

‘Now I just gotta hope that that son of a bitch Obito doesn’t come searching this place and notice I’m still alive. Information Defense hope you were worth those credits I spent on you.’ I thought silently while leaning back against the wall.

Opening my eyes, I finally took notice of my surroundings only to frown immediately after when I noticed an old couple on the ground not 2 meters from me obviously dead.

While I knew that this event had happened in canon, it was another thing entirely experiencing it for yourself with your own two eyes. I was only thankful that the person I had inhabited was an orphan that had lost his family during the Kyuubi attack years back and was too young to had formed any real relationship with my ‘parents’ in this world.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that I was going to show any mercy on Itachi especially after the little shit had shoved a tanto through my stomach.

Pausing for a moment I stood still as I heard what could only be Sasuke yelling in pain and despair letting me know that this night was coming to an end.

‘Finally!’ I thought with a small grin forming on my bloody lips with my thoughts going back to Izumi.

When I had first arrived, Izumi had been unconscious beside me thankfully so after reading the notification I was quick to wake her up. Not even offering her a greeting I had found the closest portal to my Pocket Apartment and shoved her through with the order to wait until I came to collect her.

‘Come to think of it, she won’t be too happy with me when she hears what happened to her old friend and the clan.’ I realized with a small grimace.

In this world, thanks to Universal Calibration I’m guessing, Izumi was not in love with Itachi and just knew him as the prodigy of the clan. Heck Izumi was only 2 years older than me here when I knew that she was Itachi’s age in canon.

Feeling myself getting dizzy and sleepy I halted all of my current thoughts and focused on not falling unconscious due to blood loss. Especially when I still didn’t know if I was safe or not yet.

10 minutes later just as I was about to lose my battle with consciousness, a notification screen appeared in front of me thanks to my HUD perk letting me know that I had passed my first hurdle.

Immediately after that the pain coming from my wound disappeared. Looking down I pulled the bloody cloth away showing new unblemished skin looking as if I had never been harmed in the first place.

‘Regeneration huh?’ I thought slowly getting back on my feet feeling Rimuru’s, or I guess my power now thrumming under my fingertips.

Underneath that I also felt the two Templates I had purchased for myself ready to be called upon. In specifically Senju Hashirama and Satou Pendragon’s power.

Still seeing the notification screen in front of me I blinked when I realized what I had also received two gifts for surviving the massacre. Namely awakening my own Sharingan with it immediately evolving into an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Ninjutsu and Fūinjutsu becoming ridiculously easy for me to master.

In addition to that I could also choose two abilities for my Mangekyō Sharingan and after thinking on it for a bit I ended up choosing Amaterasu and Kamui.

The effect was immediate.

Feeling a sting in my eyes I closed them for a moment before opening them again and upon doing so I blinked in surprise at the big change in my perception. It was like going your whole life watching everything in 480p then suddenly getting introduced to 4k. It was such a startling difference that it took me a moment to get used to it before deactivating them when I felt all the chakra it took to keep them active.

‘Looks like it might take me a while until I can use them constantly without wasting so much chakra even if I have Hashirama’s monstrous reserves.’ I thought with a small frown before blinking a few times to get used to my normal vision again.

Dismissing my HUD, I looked at my Menu that I had gotten thanks to Satou’s Template and smiled when I saw the power I was looking for. That being the Search Entire Map power that would show all beings in the vicinity of my Map skill and immediately used it.

My smile turned into a grin when my Map displayed every being currently in Konoha, even showing the location of the recently deceased bodies in the Uchiha District.

Acquired Spell: Search Entire Map

The grin on my face only turned wider at the notification letting me know my skills (Satou’s) were working as intended. The one I was most interested in being the ability to learn any and all skills, titles and magic after only witnessing or performing them once.

A truly broken ability.

For now, though I was more interested in one of the Additional Objectives of my current mission.

Objective 16: Steal a Dojutsu (Repeatable).

Reward [Other]: The stolen Dojutsu is destroyed obtain all of its abilities, abilities similar to those you already possess multiply their power.

Now wasn’t that just convenient? I had a clan full of Dojutsu users ripe for the picking.

‘Now I just have to avoid Root and Obito and I will have the most powerful Sharingan in the history of the Elemental Nations.’ I thought with a grin.

Clapping my hands together in the Snake seal I silently mutter. “Mokuton: Moku Bunshin.”

From my back 3 wooden clones materialized before they jumped away already knowing what to do. As for myself, I was quick to deposit the old dead couple in my inventory before opening up a portal back to my Pocket Apartment.

It was time to finally call back Izumi otherwise it would look suspicious if she was nowhere to be found during the massacre.

I just hope she wasn’t too angry with me.
