Riku, a [Wish] talent bearer from the magicless world of Earth.
In order to escape from Earth and set foot on the path of transcendence and immortality, he made daily wishes for ten straight years. At long last, he managed to stir the very fabric of the world's laws.
At a specific location, through a rift in time and space, his body and soul were wrapped in the miraculous power accumulated from those ten years of wishing. Returning to their source, he left Earth behind.
He was reincarnated.
…
Konoha, Year 28. Inside the Uchiha clan compound, in one of the rooms of the clan head's residence—
"Phew... I didn't expect to be reincarnated, and into the Naruto world no less—as the younger brother of Fugaku, the second son of the clan head?"
"Although it's quite different from the world I wanted, at least it's still a world of supernatural powers."
Riku slowly digested the memories of his past life that had just resurfaced. With his right fingers, he rubbed his throbbing temple and muttered in his heart.
Apparently, he had just successfully extracted his first strand of chakra—and that success had activated his [Wish] talent from his past life, along with the awakening of his former life's insight.
At the same time, his past soul perfectly and completely merged with the one in this life, bringing him a sense of absolute clarity. His spiritual power and comprehension soared.
His thoughts were now far sharper.
In his previous life, Riku had invested many wishes into improving his comprehension talent for the sake of his transcendence path. Now, that comprehension had followed his soul into this life.
"Too bad I didn't inherit the attribute panel... Looks like I'll have to spend wishes to create one again."
After failing to summon the attribute panel in his mind, Riku sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, after sensing the return of his talent, Riku discovered that from the moment of his reincarnation, his [Wish] talent had already accumulated 1,827 wish attempts.
Yep, one more every day.
"A pleasant surprise!"
Riku felt a hint of joy in his heart. He immediately recited in his mind:
[I wish to obtain a simplified version of the attribute panel (only displays attributes and proficiency).]
The next moment, Riku—now known as Uchiha Riku—received a feedback message from his talent. A single wish wasn't nearly enough to acquire this ability; he would need 99 in total.
"It's more expensive than the one I had in my past life!"
"Is it because this is a supernatural world?"
Without hesitation, he used 99 wish attempts to wish again.
At that moment, a mysterious rune formed in his sea of consciousness.
Simultaneously, a large stream of information surged into his mind, which he absorbed rapidly.
Then, with a thought, he whispered in his heart: "Open attribute panel!"
A light screen that only he could see appeared before his eyes.
[Uchiha Riku]

"As expected, my comprehension aptitude from my previous life carried over fully—and even improved a little."
"My martial arts skill was reduced to just a trace of insight. I'll have to retrain it from the beginning."
"Luckily, with prior experience, I can train much faster."
"Not bad at all."
"Yin Release is closely tied to mental and spiritual power, so this level makes sense."
"Ninjutsu, constitution, swordsmanship, and Uchiha bloodline must all come from this life's inherited bloodline."
"But space aptitude… that didn't exist in my previous life, and by logic, shouldn't exist in this one either. It must be a result of my journey through the dimensional rift!"
"That's a great thing!"
Riku analyzed with delight in his heart.
He felt that his space-related talent might already surpass even the Fourth Hokage, Minato.
And the best part? He could continue to wish to improve every one of his aptitudes.
That's right—his [Wish] talent was just that powerful and versatile.
"The ninja world isn't peaceful, especially for me, born into the Uchiha clan as Fugaku's brother."
"Right now, it's Year 28 of Konoha. The Second Shinobi World War is only a few years away!"
"The top priority is to raise my strength as fast as possible."
"And with all these accumulated wish attempts, now is the perfect time to boost my ninja aptitudes and rapidly grow stronger."
Of course, he could directly wish for strength too.
But that wasn't cost-effective.
He had tested it in his previous life.
Wishes involving knowledge and information cost the least.
Aptitude-related and strength-enhancement ones came next.
Physical object creation was the most expensive—and not worth it.
With that in mind, Uchiha Riku immediately began a round of batch wishing.
[I wish to spend 78 wish attempts to permanently maximize my ninjutsu aptitude.]
[I wish to spend 102 wish attempts to permanently maximize my constitution aptitude.]
[I wish to spend 2 wish attempts to permanently maximize my Yin Release aptitude.]
[I wish to spend 78 wish attempts to permanently maximize my swordsmanship aptitude.]
[I wish to spend 2 wish attempts to permanently maximize my space aptitude.]
…
As each wish was granted, Riku felt waves of warm current flooding his body.
His body grew stronger and more flexible. His strength rose significantly, and his spiritual energy expanded tremendously. His thoughts became even more lucid and agile.
The amount of chakra he could refine from his body increased tenfold—despite just starting out.
His mind felt sharper. His memory, learning speed, and understanding capabilities improved drastically.
His perception of space underwent a qualitative transformation.
He could now effortlessly sense the spatial fluctuations and even pinpoint the exact coordinates of spatial nodes and ripples around him.
[Aptitudes]:
— Ninjutsu (High, 1/1000)
— Constitution (High, 1/1000)
— Yin Release (Kage-level, 1/10,000)
— Comprehension (Kage-level, 567/10,000)
— Swordsmanship (High, 1/1000)
— Space (Super Kage-level, 1/100,000)
— Uchiha Bloodline (High, 121/1000 | Activation Rate: 1.1%)
[Wish Attempts Remaining]: 1,465
"Did improving Yin Release also boost comprehension?"
"Well, Yin Release is related to the soul and spiritual energy—it makes sense!"
Riku nodded to himself, rubbing his chin with a look of realization.
An unexpected bonus.
Although his comprehension score only increased by 500 points, compared to before, his actual perception felt twice as sharp.
Imagine what it would be like to raise his comprehension to Super Kage-level. Terrifying.
"Let's test further!"
After digesting the gains from the aptitude upgrades, Uchiha Riku didn't stop there and continued making wishes.
[I wish, with one wish, to permanently enhance all of my ninja aptitudes.]
The next moment, he noticed that his panel didn't visibly change—but his senses confirmed subtle improvements across the board.
So he made three more similar wishes.
When he checked again, he noticed that his ninjutsu, constitution, Yin Release, and comprehension all increased by one point—while swordsmanship, space, and Uchiha bloodline remained the same.
Riku understood immediately.
"So ninjutsu, constitution, Yin Release, and comprehension are the core aptitudes of a ninja, huh?"
"That's great. It'll simplify things in the future."
…
[I wish to discover the best method for me to awaken the Sharingan.]
