Chapter 1: The Electric Spark at My Fingertips, My Unchanging Faith
Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
Right now, Yuri Kai was facing all three of life's great questions. As he fled, he kept glancing back at the young man chasing him relentlessly, who looked ready to kill him. He felt like crying.
"Bro, why are you chasing me? I don't have any torrents!"
"I don't have any cloud drive links either!"
Yuri Kai was truly exasperated. One second he was binge-watching an anime, and the next he was being hunted. Who could stand this?
What made him even angrier was that, fine, he was being chased for no reason, but what was with those people on the sidelines cheering? Enjoying the show, were they? They were even yelling for him to stop and fight back!
"My god, if you're so tough, you do it! Didn't you see that long, hard thing he's carrying? If I get stabbed by that, who could possibly take it?"
Yuri Kai complained internally as he ran.
However, his running speed was too slow. In just a few breaths, the man caught up and aimed a kick right at his... area.
If that kick landed, he might as well just become a eunuch.
"No! I am a cosmically unparalleled stud, handsome, dashing, and loved by all! How can I let myself be crippled so ridiculously?"
"Is there no justice in the world!"
Yuri Kai roared in his heart, filled with indignation.
And just at the most critical moment, as that foot was about to connect with Yuri Kai's family jewels, a crisp, electronic voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Infinite Dimensional Summoning System has been activated!]
[Host: Yuri Kai]
[Current World: Naruto]
[Level: Fodder]
[Ninjutsu: None]
[Summonable Worlds: None]
[System activation successful. Rewarding Dimensional World: A Certain Scientific Railgun.]
[Main Quest Initiated:]
[Graduate from the Ninja Academy]
[Reward:]
[Genin Quick Level-up Card]
A system? Infinite Dimensional Summoning? Transmigration? Holy crap, I actually hit the jackpot!
Yuri Kai finally understood. He had crossed over into the world of Naruto!
No wonder their faces and clothes looked so familiar.
He hadn't dared to believe it before, but now he recognized him. The man chasing him was none other than the Ninja Academy's instructor, Mizuki. And the people shouting on the sidelines were Iruka Umino and his students.
However, Yuri Kai had no time to deal with them right now. The unlucky bastard behind him, who wouldn't even survive the first episode, was still trying to kill him.
"It's the Infinite Dimensional Summoning System, right? Summon! I need to summon!"
Yuri Kai roared in his mind.
[Please select a character to summon.]
Summon a character? Yuri Kai froze. It was his first time using a system, so he had no idea how to operate it. He just subconsciously thought of an anime character.
He never expected that as soon as the thought appeared, the emotionless electronic voice would sound again.
[Summoning: A Certain Scientific Railgun, Misaka Mikoto, Level 5 Esper.]
Shwa!
A red magic circle flashed, and a figure suddenly appeared.
It was a girl, about 160cm tall, wearing a school uniform, with shoulder-length brown hair and matching brown eyes.
Her gaze held absolute confidence and a wild, untamed spirit.
Most importantly, sparks of electricity crackled and danced around her. Her short skirt and short hair fluttered, though there was no wind.
If it wasn't the "Railgun" of his faith, who else could it be?
When Yuri Kai saw Misaka, he instantly froze, his eyes staring blankly.
"Sh... She really got summoned?"
Before Yuri Kai could think any further, Misaka Mikoto's eyes narrowed. She launched a side kick, and her safety shorts flashed before Yuri Kai's eyes.
The next second, with a dull thud, Mizuki, who had just caught up, made intimate contact with the ground. He landed face-first and was instantly knocked unconscious.
Silence. Utter silence. In the distance, Iruka Umino and his students were all dumbfounded by the scene. They stood frozen, their faces etched with disbelief.
Who am I? Where am I? What did I just see? Instructor Mizuki, a Chunin, was just... just KO'd like that? In a single blow?
The three great questions of life had appeared once again. But this time, they were for Iruka Umino and the others.
"Hmph! A lowlife like this thought he could take me on? He doesn't know his own limits."
Misaka Mikoto stood with one foot on Mizuki, hands on her hips. She tossed her head and spoke with a smug, tsundere-like air.
"Mi... Misaka! Is that you, Misaka? It's really you!"
Yuri Kai finally snapped out of it, his eyes shining, and lunged toward Misaka Mikoto.
He had to, Misaka Mikoto was his idol! How could he not be excited to see her in person?
Misaka, who had been posturing arrogantly just a moment ago, immediately panicked when she saw Yuri Kai lunging at her. Her face flushed red as she became shy. Despite how strong she usually appeared, her true personality was extremely bashful.
"Hey! What are you doing! Don't come over here!"
Misaka retreated in a fluster, raising her hand to block the charging Yuri Kai.
But just then, the magic circle appeared again. In the next instant, Misaka Mikoto vanished.
"Uh..."
His idol, who he was just about to hug, suddenly disappeared. Yuri Kai felt a shadow of dismay cross his face.
At that moment, the electronic voice rang out appropriately.
[Host's level is too low. Unable to maintain summons of overly powerful characters for extended periods.]
This... alright.
Yuri Kai was speechless. He looked at his "Fodder" level and had nothing more to say.
It seemed he couldn't just summon any anime character he wanted. It was related to his own strength.
He thought to himself that when he got stronger, he would definitely summon Misaka again.
But how was he supposed to get stronger? How exactly did this Naruto world work? Right, the main quest! Yuri Kai suddenly remembered. He had been so focused on running that he'd completely forgotten about it.
It seemed like he could quickly increase his strength just by doing the main quests, right?
Heh heh, excellent!
Just as Yuri Kai was getting excited, the electronic voice's next words made his heart skip a beat.
[Ding! Host has successfully summoned his first anime character. Rewarding one Newbie Gift Pack. Use now?]
A newbie gift pack? Such a good bonus? "Use it! Definitely use it!" Yuri Kai grinned, excited.
[Ding! Host has used the Newbie Gift Pack. Obtained ability: One-click Comprehension!]
[One-click Comprehension:]
[Allows rapid comprehension and learning of Ninjutsu, Secret Techniques, Taijutsu, etc., and raises proficiency to max level.]
For a moment, Yuri Kai was ecstatic. He never thought a single newbie pack would give him such a heaven-defying ability.
Didn't that mean that from now on, he could easily learn any ninjutsu just by looking at a scroll?
A-rank ninjutsu, S-rank secret techniques: all of it would be his for the taking!
Hahaha, awesome!
But the surprises didn't stop there. The electronic voice continued.
[Ding! Detected Ninjutsu: [Transformation Technique], [Substitution Technique], [Clone Technique], [Summoning Technique]. Use One-click Comprehension?]
"Use!"
Yuri Kai silently commanded in his mind and quickly checked his status panel. One look confirmed it.
