I Was So Afraid of Dying, I Became the Strongest in the Ninja World

You wake up inside a game you just bought, as a member of Konoha's Uchiha clan.

You skipped too many story scenes and were new to gaming, so you dutifully leveled up, only to die on the night of the Uchiha massacre.

Luckily, you remember how to load a save, so you choose the most recent save point and try to dodge your deadly fate.

You die again.

You load the save again.

You die again.

When you realize there's no way to avoid death, you return to the timeline where you first entered the game, join Root, and do whatever it takes to level up and grind skills. At last, you kick Danzo out and become the boss, ready to enjoy the good life.

You die again. Your killer calls himself Madara.

You load the save and keep doing whatever it takes to level up and grind skills. At last, you kick out the Third Hokage and become Hokage.

You die again. Your killer is a black sludge that curses you, insisting you deserve to die.

You come back to life out of sheer fury, load the save, and grind for special item cards. You swear to hunt down the black sludge across every timeline!
