Chapter 2: Chapter Chapter 1: The Unfathomable Wish
The void was infinite, stretching endlessly in every direction. There was no up or down, no time or space, only an all-encompassing darkness. Yet, in the center of this emptiness stood a figure. His name was Li Wei, a man who had once walked the mortal plane, living a life full of fleeting joys and fleeting sorrows. He was a simple man—at least, that's what he had believed himself to be. But when the time came, when his life was snuffed out in an instant, he found himself cast into this endless nothingness.
Li Wei had no body here, no sense of self—only awareness. And yet, in this infinite stillness, he felt a profound peace.
"So... this is death?" he thought. But there was no sense of finality, no burning sensation or sudden terror. The afterlife seemed oddly… empty.
Then, suddenly, a figure appeared before him.
The being was… odd. It didn't resemble anything Li Wei had ever seen before—a mass of energy swirling with colors, yet it had no physical form. The only thing that remained constant was its voice, which echoed through Li Wei's mind like thunder breaking through the silence.
"Greetings, Li Wei. You have passed through the veil of death and into the realm of the void. You are now before the Random Omnipotent Being (ROB)."
Li Wei blinked, then slowly chuckled, though he felt no need to. "A ROB? Is this some kind of joke?" he mused. "I've always heard of the afterlife, but not like this. So what now?"
The ROB seemed to sense his thoughts, its voice resonating in his mind once more.
"No joke, Li Wei. You stand before an entity that exists beyond the constraints of time and space. You have been granted the chance to make a wish. Anything, within the scope of my power, and I shall grant it."
Li Wei stood in the void, his mind racing. "A wish, huh? A wish to change everything?"
He thought back to the life he had lived, one full of the usual struggles—working for a living, dealing with relationships, always wanting more but never having enough. But now, he was standing before an unimaginable power, with the ability to reshape his future, to create something truly incredible.
"Anything?" Li Wei's voice echoed in the void.
"Anything," the ROB confirmed.
For a moment, Li Wei hesitated. The possibilities were endless. He could ask for infinite wealth, unimaginable power, or even immortality. But none of those things held true significance in the grand scheme of things. Then, something came to him—a thought that had always plagued his mind in his past life.
"I've always wanted to know how everything works. To be able to create anything, to have the power to understand the deepest mysteries of existence..." Li Wei's mind hummed as the idea solidified.
A sense of determination overtook him. "I want the ability to create anything, as long as I know how it works, or even have an idea of how it works. If I can understand its essence, I can bring it into existence."
The ROB remained silent for a moment before responding.
"Your wish is an extraordinary one. It is not merely a wish for power, but for the deepest form of understanding. To create from nothing… the power to manipulate reality itself, based on the laws of the world and your comprehension of them. Very well. Your wish is granted."
Li Wei felt the full weight of his decision crash into him. It wasn't just a simple power—this was an endless potential, one that could reshape anything and everything. With his new ability, he could literally craft anything: technology, magic, weapons, or even life itself. He would be bound by nothing.
The void began to shift, rippling with energy as the ROB's voice reverberated through his being.
"I shall grant you a new life in a world of your choosing. You may choose the time, place, clan, and even the world itself. Make your decision."
Li Wei pondered for a moment. A world of magic? A world of cultivation? It seemed endless, but then he recalled something—a world he had always been fascinated with.
"I wish to be reincarnated into the Naruto world. I want to be born into the Uzumaki Clan, during the Warring States Era, and to be Mito Uzumaki's elder brother."
The ROB didn't speak again, but Li Wei felt the vast energy surge around him as his wish took form. He could feel himself being pulled, the world around him collapsing inwards like a collapsing star.
Then, everything went black.

The Birth of Li Wei:
In a small, secluded compound nestled in the heart of the Uzumaki Clan village, a child cried out as he took his first breath. The newborn's body was tiny but full of life. His hair was a fiery red, like the flame that burned brightly in his bloodline. The clan elders, gathered around the baby's crib, marveled at the strength of the newborn's aura.
The child's parents exchanged knowing glances, their faces full of awe and wonder.
"He's… special," the father said softly. "A child born with the Uzumaki bloodline so pure… I can feel the power even now."
The mother smiled warmly, stroking her son's red hair. "Our son will be a great one. Let his name be shinsui, Uzumaki Shinsui"
But the child, Li Wei, opened his eyes, the memories of his past life flooding into his consciousness. He had been reborn—into the world he had chosen, with the power he had asked for.
"So this is it… this is where it begins."
As he lay in his crib, a sense of immense clarity washed over him. He could feel the pulse of energy that flowed through this world—the chakra that flowed like a river beneath the surface, the hidden laws that governed reality. His new ability to create anything was more than just understanding the laws—it was a connection to those laws. The potential to reshape and create existed in every atom, every strand of chakra, and every moment of time.
"Mito Uzumaki…" shinsui thought, remembering his new family's future legacy. His younger sister would play a crucial role in the history of the ninja world, but he would be the one who would shape it from the shadows, bending reality itself with his new power.
His eyes gleamed as he felt the immense potential in this world.
"I will build my legacy here. And with my power…" shinsui's lips curled into a smile. "I will create everything I desire."
And with that, the legend of Li Wei now shinsui, the Reincarnated Creator—the elder brother of Mito Uzumaki—was born.
