Chapter 1: Do you really think I'll submit?
[Ding, successful transmigration. The world of transmigration is the world of Naruto.]
[Transmigration Time: Year 52 of Konoha. This year, Konoha had just experienced the Nine-Tailed Fox Attack. The Fourth Hokage had died, and the Uchiha Clan was forced to the outskirts of the village, with resentment rising.]
[This year, Kumogakure had just declared war on Konoha. The Third Shinobi World War had ended less than two years ago, and war was brewing again.]
[Transmigration Location: Uchiha Clan territory.]
[Please select the first character card.]
[Uchiha Fuan]
[Character Card Description: An unremarkable Uchiha youth.]
[Details: Ordinary talent, nothing special.]
[Note: Choose him if you want to die, guaranteed you won't survive the Uchiha Clan Massacre Night.]
[Uchiha Naraku]
[Introduction: A young girl from the Uchiha Clan whose parents are deceased]
[Details: A 6-year-old (7 years old by Chinese reckoning) who has mastered the Three Basic Techniques and the C-rank ninjutsu, Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.]
[Note: Choose her, show me her cute little panties, and I'll give you a super buff, passively increasing your training speed by 100%]
"Training speed increased by one hundred percent? Heh," the young man, Liu Yu, standing in the void, scoffed.
"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. I, Liu Yu, a seven-foot-tall man, will never accept charity. I'd rather die standing than live on my knees."
"You think I'd become a woman for a measly increase in training speed? Don't be ridiculous. I'm choosing that Uchiha boy."
Liu Yu's words were forceful and resonated with power. See, that's what a man's dignity is all about.
[System: Then I'll give you a newbie gift pack. If that doesn't work, then forget it.]
"Alright, alright, how could I refuse? As a good youth of the new century, I understand the importance of gender equality. So what if it's a girl? Of course, I choose Uchiha Naraku."
(I'm sorry, brother, we'll have to part ways for a while.)
A flash of light, and the scenery around him rapidly changed. In the blink of an eye, Liu Yu had appeared inside a small wooden house.
The wooden house looked a bit simple. Besides a large bed and a wardrobe, the only large item in the room was the mirror in front of Liu Yu.
Liu Yu couldn't help but look at the mirror. Sure enough, he had become a six or seven-year-old girl.
Ugh... this is still a bit embarrassing.
Ah… Whatever, it's just the first character card. There will be a second, a third, and an Nth one.
When that time comes, what's there to fear? Wouldn't I be able to become a man again?
Now, I'll just endure this humiliation for a while. A real man knows when to bend and when to stretch.
Only noodles can stretch all the time.
After some mental work, Uchiha Naraku felt much better.
Only then did she carefully look at herself in the mirror.
"Wow, I didn't expect that I could be this gorgeous."
The little girl in the mirror had long, straight black hair and fair, delicate skin. Her beautiful face, though still somewhat immature, was undeniably exquisite. She was truly a little beauty.
"How nice, how pretty… but I don't care. I must improve my strength as quickly as possible and obtain the second character card to get rid of this shameful identity."
Uchiha Naraku encouraged herself.
At that moment, the system's voice sounded again.
[Main Quest 1 is now released]
[Survive the Uchiha Clan Massacre Night]
[Task Reward: One draw opportunity, one random character card.]
[Side Quest 1 is now released]
[Graduate from the Ninja Academy]
[Task Reward: The earlier you graduate, the higher the reward]
Uchiha Naraku sighed. Uchiha Clan Massacre Night, as expected. However, with the 100% cultivation acceleration he'd obtained through humiliation, and the system, the problem shouldn't be too big.
Uchiha Itachi, and that Uchiha Obito who called himself Madara, just you wait. When I become awesome, I'll make you beg for mercy on your knees.
Even though he said that, Uchiha Naraku still felt a little uneasy in his heart. After all, the strength of those two was indeed too powerful.
And at his current level, he estimated that any halfway decent Genin could beat him up.
No, he had to get stronger.
"System, what about the beginner's gift pack we talked about?"
[The mail has been prepared, and it is estimated that you can withdraw it after inviting one more friend.]
Uchiha Naraku: Huh? Why does this feel so familiar?
[Sorry, it's just a habit, you see, what I mean is the gift pack is still being prepared, and it will be shipped to you later.]
Alright, alright. Damn, why does this system seem to be proficient in scamming and deceiving?
Can I really learn anything good from it?
Collecting her thoughts, Uchiha Naraku picked up the ninja tool pouch on the table and cautiously walked out of the house. Fortunately, the place she lived was secluded enough, and no one passed by her door.
This made Uchiha Naraku, who had just put on a dress, breathe a sigh of relief.
Indeed, this appearance still makes me feel very ashamed. I should run quickly.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Naraku disappeared at the end of the street after a few leaps.
...
The Uchiha Clan's training grounds were quiet and empty.
Ever since the Nine-Tailed Fox Attack, the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the village's leadership had intensified.
The Uchiha Clan was openly pushed to the corner of the village. As the Uchiha's territory and exclusive training ground, it was essentially off-limits to outsiders.
Uchiha Naraku had often seen Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi training here in the anime.
And now, she was actually standing here. It was truly strange.
All ninja clans would develop their own combat techniques. Refined over generations, these mature combat techniques were far superior to the self-taught methods of 99% of civilian ninjas.
As the inheritor of the character card, Uchiha Naraku had also inherited this unique combat style.
She kept repeating her training in the clearing of the forest, and with each repetition, Uchiha Naraku could feel herself improving.
This was the power of a genius ninja combined with a 100% boost to training speed.
Now, Uchiha Naraku was confident that her training speed was no weaker than anyone else's.
Not far from where Uchiha Naraku was training.
Another child was also diligently training.
It was Uchiha Itachi.
He stood between several trees, eight kunai held between his fingers.
He dropped into a deep squat and then leaped into the air. Once airborne, Itachi instantly flipped himself upside down.
His hands, which had been held in front of his chest, quickly extended outwards.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Eight flashes of cold light shot out in eight different directions.
When Itachi landed smoothly, he checked the eight targets scattered in the corners. Sure enough, a kunai was embedded in the center of each one.
Perfect hits.
"Not bad, I guess. It's getting late. Let's call it a day."
Itachi packed up his ninja tools and turned to head home.
But he hadn't gone far when he heard a childish voice coming from the nearby forest:
"Fire Style? Great Fireball Technique!"
Itachi was surprised to hear the voice. He had been training in this training ground for nearly two years.
Besides Shisui, he rarely encountered other clan members his age here.
Hearing this childish voice, he was somewhat curious.
It feels like the other person is around my age? Starting to train the Great Fireball Technique at this age?
This kind of talent could be called a genius.
Should I sneak over and take a look?
Itachi wasn't a child who liked to socialize. Although he seemed humble and polite, his thoughts were too precocious, and his father had high expectations for him.
Until today, besides Shisui, Itachi hadn't made any close friends.
However, as a child, he still had a curious nature.
So, with his personality, he felt it was a bit odd to just go over and say hello. But secretly going to take a look was fine. After all, he was quite confident in his ability to sneak around.
And so, Itachi stopped walking home, turned around, and quietly slipped into the forest beside him.
