《Looping, oh the fun! (Naruto)》Ch6 Omake--sort of?
Advertisement
Morning, 6:00 AM
Fingers tapping rapidly on two keyboards. Multiple wires spread out on the ground. Next to him sat two guitar-shaped objects with cables connecting them to the computer. After a while, Sasuke stopped, lifting his hand wearily and pinching the bridge of his nose. There were dark rings under his eyes, which were threatening to snap shut. He had been staring at the computer for more than 5 hours without blinking. Exhaustion was slowly getting into him, but the outcome was worth it.
Sasuke stretched his joints, and stood up, arching his back. He grimaced when he heard loud snapping sounds. I kept on forgetting that I'm now in my 12 years old body, not my muscular older self who's used to this type of living style. I really should stop torturing this body. Otherwise I'll be the first Uchiha to die of sleep deprivation. Naruto'd laugh his ass off.
After getting a drink of water to sooth his burning throat, he went to the restroom to do his morning routine. After wiping his face dry of water, Sasuke hovered his hands over certain objects as memories resurfaced in his mind. A shudder ran through him as he remembered the old days. His mother would always remind him to apply facial lotion, saying how it could make his skin creamy and soft. And before he leave the house, he must apply sunscreen to every part of his body that'd expose in sunlight. That way, he wouldn't look like his father when his grew up, whose skin was tanned and wrinkled.
But as Sasuke grew older, especially after killing Orochimaru, he had stopped doing all those things because they reminded him of a certain snake's pale and smooth skin. The idea of having something in common with the snake disgusted him.
Sasuke dropped his hands and hung the towel. Since he's mother had been long dead, he wouldn't get in trouble for not listening to her. It's not like she'd rise from the dead and reprimand him.

Quickly dressing up in his usual attire, Sasuke looked back at Naruto who was still snoring loudly on a separate futon before leaving the compound to buy breakfast. Walking past Ichiraku brought up a memory of Sasuke's working there with a cheery, brown-haired girl. In some loops, Naruto had married Ayame. While in some other loops, Sasuke had married her. Being with her wasn't so bad actually. At first, Sasuke thought a civilian girl was no fun. But the more time he spent with her, the more he started to fall for her. He noticed how she doesn't treat him like he's some prince character. That alone made her unique enough for Sasuke to be interested in her.
Being with Ayame was fun, but that didn't stop Sasuke and Naruto from dating different girls every loop. You can all them jerks, sure, but imagine dating the same girl for over 100 loops! It's just like playing gal games. No one would want to play the same girl over and over again. The more you played, the more predictable they were. They'd no longer be a challenge. That made playing the game boring. To Sasuke and Naruto, their life was a game. If they die, they'd start over again in a new loop. They have infinite chances to do things over and over again, and try new methods and unlock hidden missions or plots. They wanted challenges to make their 'game' fun; thus, trying to win different girls' hearts was a great plan.
After about ten minutes, Sasuke stood in front of a small convenience shop. In his first life, he had never visited this shop, because its shabby look was too outdated for the great 'Uchiha-sama.' It wasn't until many loops later does Sasuke realize that this was one of the only shops in Konoha that doesn't refuse Naruto's entrance, and the shop owner was one of the few who treats him like a normal boy. Since then, Sasuke had been visiting this shop for all his necessities in every loop. To say Konoha's shop owners were surprised was a great understatement.

Entering the shop, Sasuke quickly spotted his favorites: rice balls with bonita filling and tomato juice. Sasuke took them, then went and took three boxes of cup of noodles. Knowing Naruto, he'd most likely think of some excuse to tell the Hokage so he could live in Sasuke's house without raising suspicion. And since in this loop they're planning to become singers, which would require many cooperation and plannings between the two of them, the probability of Naruto's doing so was very high.
Carrying everything to the cashier, Sasuke placed them down and tapped his finger against the glass counter lightly to wake the sleeping man. The man lifted his head groggily, and jolted awake when he saw who the customer was. Sasuke tried his best to stifle his laughter. Seeing a person in his unattended shop with the possibility of shoplifting didn't surprise him, but Sasuke's presence did? That's why Sasuke loved this man. He's just too funny.
"G-good morning, Uchiha-san," he quickly calculated the price, looking surprised when he saw three full boxes of ramen, and told Sasuke the total. "Would you like a newspaper?"
"Sure." In almost every loop, the man would offer him a newspaper. Sasuke had accepted every time. Maybe in his next loop he should refuse it? Just to see the changes it would bring?
"Here you go. Have a nice day-" his head hit the counter and soft snoring was heard before Sasuke had even stepped past the threshold.
Carrying three boxes of ramen would attract many attention. Not to say the subject was the 'great Uchiha Sasuke.' Many civilians have offered to help Sasuke carry the boxes, but Sasuke refused them all. He needed this weight training.
After a long, painful walk, Sasuke finally arrived home.
Home sweet home. He thought. Man, I wonder how long it'd take to train my body to be as strong as my older self's?
Placing the food on the table, Sasuke carried three boxes and went to Naruto who's currently spreading drools on his pillow. Sasuke sighed and resisted the urge to dump the boxes onto Naruto's face. Instead, he set them down carefully next to Naruto.
Three minutes later he was wolfing down rice balls while reading the newspaper. Having not eaten dinner last night, Sasuke was hungry beyond words at the moment. That's why he'd bought twice the usual amount of rice balls.
Politics...economic...sports? Boring...
Sasuke flipped through the newspaper rapidly with only a few glances on each pages.
Suddenly, his movement siezed as his gaze settled down on a certain bold headline on a page.
"Holy shit! This is the perfect opportunity!" He couldn't help but exclaim as he finished reading the page, excitement and glee gleaming in his eyes.
In the room next door, Naruto murmured, "express your madness elsewhere, Sasuke..." Moments later, he was woken up by a frantic Sasuke who's urging him to move quickly so they won't be late for the graduation exam.
Guess I'll have to tell him after the exam is over... Sasuke thought as he and Naruto raced through the village.
AN: Nothing really happened in this chapter, so I named it "Omake." But something important DID happen (near the end), so this was also named as a chapter, instead of just 'Omake' without a chapter label :)

The Light Bringer
Would you leave behind everything you knew to live the life of another version of yourself? A version from a land where status sceens, levels, dwarfs, elves, beastkin and monsters were real? A world where limits were not set in stone and danger or adventure could be around every corner? If you stopped and thought about it, I think you would conclude it was a bad idea. But for a guy like William Taylor who actually got to make this theoretical choice, he chose yes. He's learning to regret that very quickly. But maybe one day he won't, if he lives long enough ------ Just some details about what this story will be like. This is more a character story than a story about leveling up and becoming OP. That may happen in time but don't expect it any time too soon. The MC has no powers that he brings into the world. He just has to do the best he can with his wits, knowledge and will to succeed. Also it's only fair to warn people this series has a bit of a slow start. 1 chapter a week with occasional bonus chapters.

My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.

Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales
Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales is a web novel based on the Shadowrun tabletop RPG and video games. It tells the story of one Leon Eagles, formerly known as "Wild Fire", a quick and deadly gunslinger regarded as one of the best "shadowrunners" in North America. If you need someone to perform jobs in the shadows of society such as bodyguard duty, espionage, or even murder, Leon Eagles is the man to call. Together with his allies Sylvia Morrow and Brandon Rivers, Leon fights week-to-week to survive in a world of arcane magic and cutting-edge technology, a world of corporate suits and fire-breathing hellhounds, and a world where some of its biggest ever surprises are still yet to come...... This is my first web novel, brought over from ScribbleHub, and any comments and feedback are appreciated. Unique terms or further in-universe history for those unfamiliar to Shadowrun will be explained upon request, or you can check the ScribbleHub glossary here: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/297362/shadowrun-the-wild-fire-tales/glossary/.
