Naruto: Spend the Future, Crush the Uchiha

He transmigrates into Konoha with no bloodline, no connections, and no resources: a standard nobody's start. But he has an unreasonable cheat: borrowing from the future.

He borrows ten years ahead to see how things turn out. The result? He dies six years later, having gained nothing but the Three Body Techniques and a Water Style jutsu. That build would barely make him a Chunin!

"The future isn't fixed. The present decides what it will be."

And so, the five-year-old boy begins his "One-Year Talent Plan": simplifying hand signs, developing his own Rasengan, honing his swordsmanship and iai, and even mastering the Nine Syllable Seals. He turns Water Shockwave into a reverse current and sends Kakashi tumbling into the river. Watching from afar, the Third Hokage sees a fleeting glimpse of the Second Hokage's Konoha.

The future isn't strong enough? Then he'll work hard in the present to rewrite it until it is! Today, he borrows from tomorrow's self; tomorrow, he reaps the rewards of the day after. By stepping on his own feet, he forces his way to the peak of the ninja world.

Madara Uchiha brings out his giant armored avatar? The Ice Man is ready. Otsutsuki Kaguya is released? He'll talk to her first, and use force if that doesn't work. While everyone else is still relying on their ancestors, he has already used the future to feed himself into a monster.
