Naruto: Reincarnated as a Sage

Orphaned, he watched as the village where he lived was suddenly transformed by a dark vortex and a Ten-Tails beast... When he awoke, he found himself in his favorite world: the world of the Hokage.

Strong and brave, in just two short years he could rule everything with one hand, awaken the Rinnegan, and create fusion techniques... Yet the power was so great that he fell asleep for eleven years before finally awakening.

He thought life would go on like this: training hard, dancing alongside Wu, living in peace and quiet. But after being ambushed by scheming villains and reviled by everyone, he was forced to leave the village.

Alone, he stood silently between heaven and earth, his eyes unfocused, his heart heavy with sorrow. Then he encountered the Akatsuki clan, ruthless and bloodthirsty, with a taste for killing.

He was neither an emblem of justice nor an incarnation of evil. Unable to be with the woman he loved, he spent nearly every day at war. He had grown sick of this life.

A mysterious old man. A pawn being used. He didn't know whom to trust. Could it really be that he was the one in the wrong? Where would life take him from here...
