Naruto Immersive Replay, The Curse of the Sharingan

The four of you quickly ran towards the door, while the ninjas who were being manipulated into dancing could only watch helplessly as you left.

The other ninjas from Amegakure rushed over after hearing the commotion, only to find a scene of utter chaos.

The meticulously planned trap has now become a joke. Hanzo stands in the center of the room, his face ashen, surrounded by a group of his men who are still dancing inexplicably.

He knew that this defeat would be a stain on his rule over Amegakure, and that strange girl from before would become a lingering shadow in his heart.

You lead the three of you through the alleys of Amegakure, your clothes soaked by the rain, but no one seems to care.

Finally, you stopped in a secluded house.

"Who are you? Why did you save us?" Yahiko broke the silence first, his eyes fixed on you, trying to find the answer in your face.

You shrugged, found a place to sit down, and crossed your legs. "He's just a passerby who happened to be there, but I really can't stand seeing you guys being bullied so badly."

Xiao Nan walked up to you, squatted down, and said, "I know you're not an ordinary person. What's your purpose in staying in the village all this time?"

You smiled slyly, "Purpose? I just wanted to have some fun. This village is too dull, I like to find some excitement."

Nagato remained silent, his gaze deep, as if he were deep in thought.

After a while, he finally spoke, "Whatever your reasons for saving us, we will remember this kindness. But you have also been dragged into this trouble, and Hanzo will not let it go."

You waved your hand dismissively, "What are you afraid of? With me here, what can he do to you?"

Just then, a commotion of footsteps and shouts came from outside, clearly Hanzo's men searching for you.

You stood up, stretched, and said, "Looks like they're still not giving up. Let's go, I'll take you to a place to stay."

Second and third playthroughs: Avoiding triggers (pure rambling 1)

I still suggest that dear new readers avoid this pitfall and wait until chapter 80. Old readers can read my ramblings if they have nothing better to do.

The platform won't let me delete the incorrect chapter, so they asked me to fix it. I've already finished my first playthrough, and I posted 79 chapters in the wrong volume. I'm afraid it will be considered padding the word count, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and write something random.

First warning: Male readers are prohibited from posting close-up photos of female characters.

Some people have asked why the female protagonist's personality is so different in the first and second cycles, and why many readers have given up on the book after the first cycle.

Because, in terms of the setting, the heroines of the first and second cycles are not the same person at all. The popular heroine of the second cycle was created by Nagi from the first cycle.

I wrote about the second playthrough simply because I was bored. There was another reason: to better showcase the extreme cruelty of the third playthrough, ensuring that everyone would experience a rapid drop in intensity after watching the cheerful story, thus making the third playthrough more likely to become popular.

Another reader whose gender I don't know gave a bad review. The author thinks the author is male based on the homepage, so he's not very happy. But if it's a female reader, it does touch on a sensitive topic.

Because this book is out of character (OOC), and the author never claimed to be faithful to the original work, there wasn't much emphasis on explaining this. As a result, the negative reviews are about the characters not matching the original characters' personalities. I'm really at a loss for words.

If I were to stay true to the original character, this book wouldn't be a female-oriented fanfiction created by Dream Girl.

Objectively speaking, if we were to follow the original characters' personalities exactly, Madara's dream girl would be devastated. There is not a single female character who could reasonably move Madara's heart. If Hashirama were gender-swapped, then disregard what I said.

He just let loose and started venting his frustrations.

In the second playthrough, the initial playable characters were limited to the Akatsuki organization. To make up for the shortcomings of the anime, the author boldly added characters such as Rin, Mei Terumi, and Shisui. In fact, apart from Rin, the characters involved are all just seasonings.

In terms of appealing to both men and women, the first and second playthroughs were relatively conservative, simply showcasing the female lead's charm, but the third playthrough completely fulfills that requirement.

The initial outline for the second cycle was a tragedy, and the female protagonist's emptiness symbolized the lack of a self.

The final female protagonist of this book is Nagi from the first playthrough, not Nagi from the second playthrough.

I've noticed that some readers, in order to distinguish between the two female protagonists, tend to refer to the female protagonist of the second game as "Tanuki" (狸奴).

Then I'll use that to make the distinction.

The second playthrough will have a sequel to the first playthrough's heroine. Nagi is not completely dead. The true ending of the first playthrough is a bad ending, a martyr. The happy ending, Izanagi, is just a sweet treat to avoid hurting everyone's feelings.

Nagi knew that Madara's regrets were the unfulfilled peace and Izuna's death. With her prophetic eyes, how could she not have made plans? Moreover, she was a former politician named 'Tanuki'.

She used the power of Hannya to forcibly change cause and effect, bringing the resurrection of everyone and true peace to the ninja world in the first cycle. As a result, Nagi was rejected by the world's consciousness.

Driven by her true ideals, she tore through time and space to arrive in another parallel world, the world of the second playthrough, which can be considered an out-of-character (OOC) version of the original Naruto world.

Because Nagi and Showa were indeed ridiculously strong, the world of the second timeline could not tolerate their existence. So Nagi used a portion of her and Showa's chakra to create the heroine of the second timeline, "Tanuki," with the ultimate goal of confusing the world's consciousness.

Then she fell into a deep sleep, and Showa was a madman who was forever immersed in his own world.

There will be no case of the body being taken away, as some readers have suggested.

Second and third playthroughs: Avoiding triggers (pure rambling 2)

The character Showa, who appears in the first chapter, is no ordinary person.

The character is only briefly described in the first playthrough, and her personality becomes more fully developed in the later part of the second playthrough. She has the most extreme pain and tragic love, which is directed at Chiri.

Having never experienced love, she would see Chiri's warmth as a twisted form of salvation, until it degenerates into intense love.

The second playthrough's torment doesn't target Tanuki, but only Nagi and Showa, with Showa being the focus. As for Nagi, the entire third playthrough revolves around her extreme emotional experiences, so it doesn't delve as deeply into Showa as much.

Tanuki, on the other hand, is an independent individual who goes from having no self-awareness to finding her true self, and possesses qualities of redemption and adolescent angst.

After all, although Showa was normal, he had completely gone mad after Chiri's death.

Therefore, many readers say that Tanuki is a bit crazy in the early stages of the second cycle. Because of the initial fusion of personalities, he will be very funny and eccentric at the beginning, which can be considered the author's wicked sense of humor.

Kakashi was added because fans wanted to see him, and the author forcibly included him. He only has a small portion of the plot compared to the third playthrough, so please bear with me.

Within the Akatsuki organization, the author feels quite sorry for Sasori and Hidan, as the plot always seems to lack a certain soul, which is arguably the biggest flaw.

In the second playthrough, Deidara and Itachi, in particular, are very well-developed characters, so the story is also quite amazing.

The Madara character is not removed from the first playthrough; he will return for a limited time in the second playthrough, become a permanent character in the later stages of the third playthrough, and be the main character in the fourth playthrough.

If all goes well, Showa and Tanuki will be removed from the game in the second playthrough, though Showa's existence will be mentioned occasionally.

Let's give the Showa era a double ending to avoid heartbreak.

Forcing myself to narrate is really exhausting; let it all end.

In the "Talking About Love" series, "Captive Love" seems to have become a classic in this book. "King's Game" received a very good response. "The Amusement Park" is targeted at different audiences; some think it's better than "King's Game," while others think it's not as amazing. The author really put a lot of effort into writing it.

The recently released "Dangerous Love" could have been even better, but the author's grandfather passed away due to a serious illness, which affected his writing and inspiration. The author could sense that it wasn't the plot of "Dangerous Love" that was the problem, but rather the appearance of Edo Tensei Madara.

That's all for the Dangerous Love arc. The author is deeply sorry to all the readers. The author will try to finish the remaining plot of the second cycle with care, try to adjust the situation, and strive to bring you even better food!

Regarding updates, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a proper balance as you progress through the second playthrough, and the third playthrough involves refined storylines similar to the first playthrough.

Therefore, the number of words and chapters updated daily is much less than before. Unless something unexpected happens, I can still easily make up for the minimum two chapters. Thank you for your understanding!

Along the way, I've met all sorts of readers. Some have left and never returned, some have appeared intermittently, and some have been posting enthusiastically every day. I'm truly fortunate to have met each and every one of them. I feel very happy that you were able to read this book. I wish you all smooth sailing and happiness every day!

Although I forced myself to write the previous erroneous chapters, everything I said was sincere. The author does not incite conflict, does not bash any character, and does not discriminate against any taste, but I extremely dislike male readers trying to embarrass themselves by being a female reader.

Male readers are fine if they are simply curious and want to read it, but please don't criticize the book. Female readers are free to comment. The author's original intention was for female fans of Naruto fanfiction, and even criticism and malice are the author's true feelings about the book.

Second and third playthroughs: Avoiding triggers (pure rambling 3)

Haha, six errors in the chapters, I'm going crazy.

Keep spouting nonsense!

I know this book is frequently subject to review, and customer service only told me today that it was due to an error in a chapter, so they paused the main plot and started this abstract self-narration. I feel so unlucky.

If only I had known then what I know now! I made a mistake and set the timer to 2049 for convenience, but now I'm told I can't delete it and I can only try to fill in the content. Sigh.

When I first started writing this book, it was practically a single-player game within a single-player game. The author thought it was going to flop like before, so I was very casual about it. What the heck were those "golden three chapters"? I have no idea what they were.

As the book gained more readers, I felt hopeful again. I never wrote the book to earn some pocket money. I know I don't have the potential to be a great author. I'm just socially awkward and wanted to find spiritual satisfaction in the novel.

I was shocked when I received the first tip, because I always thought it was a waste to spend money on novels. I was grateful to receive it, but I didn't support it. I thought that a simple comment would be more touching than a tip.

As a result, the number of readers giving tips in the backend has increased, and I don't know how to express my gratitude. I can only try my best to satisfy the readers' desires in the storyline, and answer everyone's questions and reply to the funniest and most interesting ones.

In the early stages of the book, the author was able to read every comment. However, as the number of chapters increased and a particularly devoted fan emerged who loved to comment, the author began to like comments in an assembly-line fashion. This might cause the author to miss some interesting content, but occasionally the author would pick up on the missed ones and reply to them after a delay.

To be honest, the author feels that everyone here is really not a decent person. The author was very cautious about special plot points! But the author was still surprised by the bold remarks and didn't dare to click "like". The author could only watch.

To be honest, the author doesn't even have the patience to read this book anymore; it's too long. But the backend shows that many readers have finished it in one go, which is really great!

I feel like a fake human, speaking in a human-machine style here, mainly because the first volume is over and there's really nothing left to write about, so it's over.

Let's continue talking about the characters. The most ambiguous one is Uchiha Madara in the second timeline. First, there's his age, and then there's Madara's profound critique of the ninja world. His attraction to Tanuki is a bit too far-fetched and abstract!

But the author is a dream girl! No matter what period the freckles are from, no matter their age or experience, the most important thing is that the freckles have no official partner, so there are all sorts of reasons to fall in love with them.

Let's keep it abstract, that's all.

The remaining three chapters are too agonizing; the author is about to vomit blood. Writing these during the vigil is incredibly boring, and I know few people will read them, but I'm still afraid someone will dig up old posts, so I've decided to stop trying to reach the word count.

Let me introduce a character named Leng Xi, who, if we were to replace him with the author, experienced a tragic unrequited love that ended without fruition, yet remained beautiful. The white moonlight did not decay, and I take the white moonlight as my role model, striving to become an excellent person.

The initial excitement is gone, but thinking back to the pain of unrequited love, that youthful, school-era agony, I still feel proud of the naivety and excitement I felt back then. It's something we all have to experience in growing up!

The author of Lengxi feels heartbroken; she is completely crying for herself, crying for the student days she can never go back to, crying for the pure love she can never experience again, and crying for being able to face the feeling of being moved.

Let's talk about Shikaga Rin. His feelings for Nagi were a distorted love. The female lead never had any feelings for him; she only saw him as a vessel for her younger brother, Uchiha Soku.

Second and third playthroughs: Avoiding triggers (pure rambling 4)

Another tragedy. I just replied to a comment about Madara's eyes in the Rinnegan series, but I really don't want Obito and Nagato to lose their eyes; it's too cruel!

Then the only option left is to mindlessly rewrite the plot.

Anyway, this is just a fanfiction focused on romance, right? I've watched the original anime, but it's too tragic. There's no need to write anything angsty; Naruto Shippuden itself is the biggest tragedy.

Male-oriented Naruto authors read it too, but I'm just a niche female-oriented fanfiction author, please leave me alone.

Some settings might be more accurate in the third playthrough, but let's just leave it at that in the second playthrough...

After all, the Akatsuki have already had storylines involving playing the King's Game and going to the amusement park. How can you expect a normal storyline? The main purpose is to have fun, so please forget about thinking!

This is only the fourth chapter with errors, I'm about to throw up. This is just making conversation for the sake of it. Let's continue talking about the characters, so let's go with Deidara.

Deidara is the second character the author really likes, after Madara. His distinct personality and character make him hard not to love!

The term "femme fatale" is the essential difference that distinguishes Deidara.

It's such a shame that he died so young in the anime. It's heartbreaking!

The author fell in love with Uchiha Madara when he was in his first year of high school. A male classmate showed him a video of his appearance on the whiteboard, and the author was instantly captivated.

It's hard not to love that kind of domineering and authoritative power!

After finding out about Madara, I started watching his scenes on Bilibili. Once I understood everything, I decided to start watching the series.

From the very first episode, the author wasn't interested because Madara wasn't there, but still watched it. The storyline of Itachi massacring his clan left the author with a psychological shadow and even prejudice.

What a ruthless person who wiped out an entire clan!

Then, when it came to the storyline involving Itachi and Sasuke, the most painful knife pierced me, and I began to change my views, even trying to understand Itachi's mental journey.

Bloodstained disease and the extermination of his clan became the painful points for Itachi's character. At that time, I wanted to write a novel and change his storyline.

What moved me most about Obito's story was his past with Rin and Kakashi, the story of Rin's death, and Obito's despair, which gave the author, who loves pure love stories, something new to think about.

Next, let's talk about Konan. She died at Obito's hands. Thinking about Yahiko and Nagato's protection of Konan, it was another tragedy.

Obito killing Konan is hateful, but he himself is also tragic. There is no right or wrong. The author does not judge or vilify either side, but rather allows the reader to experience the ultimate sense of this tragic ending.

So I started to devote myself to the aesthetics of tragedy. This sense of loss is addictive. I don't know how you feel, but I'm just here to force myself to write this nonsense. I want to cry, I want to run away!

Why isn't there an option to delete chapters? I'm so upset!

Continuing with the story, let's talk about Akiyama Nana and Ren from the first playthrough. The character Ren is based on the handsome man in purple with his eyes closed who was next to the First Mizukage at the Five Kage Summit. Their story will appear in the third playthrough. The author doesn't write about characters who don't have a sequel.

The remaining two chapters will discuss the third and fourth cycles. Let's talk about Madara's four younger brothers, all of whom have original names and are not from the original work. Ryoei and Momoka's story will have a specific storyline in the fourth cycle, and the childhood friends of Kakeru and Kawaran will also appear, which can be considered as adding two examples to the curse of the Sharingan.

I once thought about writing about the Sengoku F4, but I was afraid it would be difficult to write the plot of the third and fourth playthroughs, so I gave up on that idea.

It's not even a thousand words yet. For the first time, I feel like writing a novel is so hard. I'm going crazy. But this is enough.

Second and third playthroughs: Avoiding triggers (pure rambling 5)

Let me just talk about the third playthrough. I'm not going to write a preview; I'll start the story with the ultimate experience.

The heroine of the third cycle is Nagi, whom everyone is familiar with. She was taken back by Madara, but because she is a ghost and the reincarnation of the Left Prime Minister, she is almost the same age as the main characters. She does not have the memories of the first cycle and remains gloomy, indifferent, and gentle.

When Madara is reincarnated in the next playthrough, she will regain all her memories, but she will have already formed a bond with the Konoha Twelve, though it will be one-sided, since Nagi is a cool and aloof character.
