Naruto: Reborn as an Uchiha

A friendly warning: This story contains a lot of original and transformative content. If that's not your thing, please don't read it.

Hokage + no System + character growth + a strong-minded protagonist + a subversive perspective + clashing ideas among multiple transmigrators.

He worked hard for decades to achieve his dream of lying flat, only to be struck by a freak bolt of lightning on the eve of success and vanish in an instant.

The good news: he transmigrated. The bad news: he now has to shoulder the hatred of his clan's destruction and fight Uchiha Itachi to the death, while a pair of eyes lurks in the shadows, watching and waiting.

The premise below is explained at the end of Chapter One.

Dream Projections: Some people's souls are special. When they sleep, their souls leave their bodies and experience or witness events happening in other worlds. When their souls return, they forget most of what happened during their travels between worlds, retaining only vague images that people dismiss as “dreams.”

Drawing on fragments of memories from these “dreams,” manga authors reconstruct their stories with guidance from editors and in response to market demand. As a result, the real world in this novel resembles the manga but is not the same. The protagonist's arrival also creates a butterfly effect, and as the story progresses, events will diverge further and further from the manga.
