◆Blurb for this story (complete, chapter comments are open):

Question: What's it like to transmigrate into the Warring States era as a Senju?

Senju Ruku: Not great...

If wearing a Senju clan outfit I bought to a convention to grab merch counts as cosplay, then he'd tell you:

Being a cosplayer is a truly high-risk profession.

But he transmigrated along with his childhood friend, and they're still alive!

Uchiha Tomoki: ...

As an open-hearted person, Senju Ruku loves every character who shines. So when he was little, he'd secretly stake out the Naka River to catch a glimpse of the young clan heads; he'd eagerly help Tobirama develop new jutsu; and when his childhood friend was sad, he'd quietly stay by his side...

Before he knew it, he'd made friends everywhere, not just in Konoha, but also in Taisho-era Japan, Yokohama, and elsewhere.

Some were even in the same place, but in a different era, like... sixty years in the future.

One day, someone gritted their teeth and asked, "Just how many dear friends do you have?"

Senju Ruku spread his hands with a sunny smile. "You're all my tomodachi!"

Wait, then could he get started on the whole alliance-building, village-founding, and infrastructure-development package?

Senju Ruku (proudly puffing out his chest.jpg): Changing tragedies starts with me!

◇ [Please note]

1. Entire story is told in third person. Primarily Naruto, a fix-it story to make up for past regrets. The pairing is set with his childhood friend in Chapter 130.

2. OOC warning, though I'll do my best to stay true to the characters.

3. The protagonist's name was chosen randomly.

4. Please don't send writing advice. Bowing.

5. Let's part on good terms. Please don't mention other novel titles in the comments.

6. The protagonist has blond hair. The cover suits his vibe perfectly.

7. I'll add more if I think of anything. For now, I'll leave this here.

[The cover uses a purchased template. The materials are not exclusive.]

◆Upcoming story: "A Guide to Self-Preservation for a Straightforward Uchiha".

◇Blurb:

Touma transmigrated.

Good news: He's a powerful Uchiha in relatively safe Konoha. Bad news: He's two years older than Kakashi.

It's known that Itachi died at 21 and Kakashi is 30. So when Itachi wiped out his clan at 13, Kakashi was 22, making Touma 24.

A premature death! He'll die even earlier than someone who opens the mark!

That's right, this is his second transmigration.

On his first transmigration, Touma's family was destroyed, and he became a Pillar under the 96th Master. Just before he died, he opened his mark for 30 seconds, then died of poison just before dawn.

He was 23.

On his second transmigration, the Uchiha are destined to be wiped out, and Touma is one of them.

He'll be 24.

This time, with a natural mark as his cheat, he frets: Could he at least live to the ripe old age of 25?

If he wants to survive and prevent the clan's extermination, he has to make sure the Uchiha aren't ostracized and Danzo can't meddle. That leaves only one choice...

Touma's eyes light up: Become Hokage!

Everyone says Konoha's new Hokage is too young, too unstable to bear the responsibility, and an Uchiha who might lose control.

But he takes a hard line with outsiders and fiercely protects his own. He's powerful, and the people of Konoha live in peace under his rule...

The Hokage's ability is beyond question.

#I only wanted to become Hokage to save myself, but somehow everyone ended up putting their faith in me#

◆Upcoming story: "Changing Careers to Become a Demon Slayer, but I'm a Long-Life Species".

◇Blurb:

[Hello. Would you like to transmigrate?]

If Gui Jue had been asked in middle school, he'd have said, "Let's go, let's go!" In high school, he'd have hesitated. But at 28, after dying suddenly from overwork, all he could say was, "No."

[You went from being a Long-Life Species to a short-lived one, and lived only 28 brief years. Are you truly content with that?]

"I am. Twice, I closed my eyes having fulfilled my duty. The future is for those who come after me to write."

[If you agree to transmigrate this time, you'll live once more as a short-lived person and then return to Their embrace, where you can see your old friends again. Don't you want to reclaim your faith and see them?]

"No. The dead should stay dead. That kind of turmoil must never happen a second time. I won't be part of it."

[I'm the Wish System, summoned by your intense desire...]

"My wish has been fulfilled. Goodbye forever."

[But listen. Man-eating demons are rampaging, and everyone is crying for help.]

['Sister, don't leave me!']

['Why wasn't I the one who died?']

['Oh, gods... please, save my little brother...']

"..."

"Shut up. I'll do it."

Later, inside the Infinity Castle, with the System's help, he connected to the starry sky and brought out the one trump card he could use in this life:

"O Reignbow, cast your gaze upon me..."

I will return to your embrace once more, and pray to you... With the arrow set to the string, strike down the abominations and let all branches wither.

Including me.

Muzan, who firmly believed there was no divine punishment: ?

[...]

The System was too busy desperately weakening the Hunt's light arrows to dare make a sound.

The Demon King has to die, sure, but if it takes too long, the whole planet will be blown to bits!

(Primarily Demon Slayer, with a touch of Honkai: Star Rail lore. You don't need to have played it.)

Theme: Some things leave us no choice, but only fools wait for opportunity. The wise create it.
