Naruto Reimagined: My Summoning Beast Is Uchiha Hikari

“Our Uchiha Hikari players have some seriously slick moves. Start with a combo, go straight into a bone grab. Think you can react to that, bro? Heh heh heh... There’s no way you’re dodging this!”

Rui had been pulling an all-nighter playing the Naruto mobile game on Blue Star when, for no apparent reason, he suddenly died. When he opened his eyes again, he was in a Ninja Academy classroom, with Iruka-sensei teaching at the front. If this was a dream, Rui hoped he’d never wake up.

What’s so bad about living in a world of illusions? Reality is so harsh. Better to be a ninja in Konoha than a wage slave on Blue Star. Rui can spend his days with kunoichi while you tighten screws on a factory line. Different worlds, different lives.

Rui wasn’t much of a student. He had only one chakra nature, lightning, and could just barely master the Three Basic Techniques well enough to pass the graduation exam. But one chance experiment led him to accidentally summon Uchiha Hikari with the Summoning Technique, and from that moment on, his fortunes took off.

Summoned creatures have to obey their summoner. No matter what Rui asks Uchiha Hikari to do, even if she doesn’t want to, she obediently does as she’s told. Over time, she becomes Rui’s loyal hound and sharpest weapon.

“Don’t you dare harm my master, you lowly insect! Die! Amaterasu!”

“Fear not, Master. With these Mangekyo Sharingan, I’ll protect you.”

“You’re nothing but dust, beneath even a fraction of my power. Watch closely: this is the Third Power of the Gods, Susanoo!”

Rui may be a terrible person who’s constantly up to no good, but he was the one who gave Uchiha Hikari her freedom. So Hikari always indulges him and dutifully does whatever he asks, even though it isn’t true freedom.
