“That’s it?”
Mizuno Ichito quietly waited for the system’s response, but only an information panel was displayed in his mind.
“Information Panel:
Name: Mizuno Ichito
Chakra: 0 units (Friendly reminder: Senju Hashirama’s Chakra is 10,000 units)
Taijutsu: (Empty)
Ninjutsu: (Empty)
Bloodline: (Empty)
Summoning Beast: (Empty)
Transmigrator Buff (Always active)
‘Transmigrator Buff’:
Buff One: ‘Bloodthirsty Plunder’ – For every enemy the host kills, a portion of the killed target’s abilities (Chakra reserves, learned Ninjutsu, innate bloodline) will be obtained. The minimum Chakra increase is 0.0001 units. (Friendly reminder: Senju Hashirama’s Chakra is 10,000 units)
Buff Two: ‘One-Handed One-Second True Man’ – The host can perform 12 hand seals in one second with one hand, if he wishes.
Buff Three: ‘Kyoka Suigetsu’ – Any Genjutsu cast on the host by a user with less Chakra than the host will be ineffective.
Buff Four: ‘I Am a Background Character’ – No one can directly detect any information the host doesn’t want to be known, through any means.
Rating: A small fry not worthy of a rating”
After reading this information panel, Mizuno Ichito was somewhat displeased.
After all, in the novels he had read, the starter gift package from activating a system could directly and greatly enhance the host’s strength.
But this ‘Ninja World’s Strongest Support System’ didn’t provide Ninjutsu or a bloodline. With his current zero Chakra, it seemed nothing had changed compared to before.
“Am I this weak? No starter gift package? How can I kill anyone when I’m so weak? Bad review!” Mizuno Ichito grumbled discontentedly, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.
“Never mind! Never mind! When I get home, I’ll start cultivating Chakra. With my transmigrator’s aptitude, I’ll master it in ten seconds and achieve great success in one minute.” Mizuno Ichito said with full confidence.
Although he was weak now, as a transmigrator who had activated the system, he believed his talent would easily allow him to defeat the early-game bosses—Konoha F4.
Besides, if he started at max level, the gaming experience would be boring. He believed that by slowly grinding through each map, he—Mizuno Ichito—would become the next Ninja World God!
…In the Village, at the Nine-Tailed’s location…
Konoha’s Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, a figure as majestic as a mountain, suddenly appeared on the Hokage Rock. His gaze was deep and firm, as if he could see through all darkness, protecting his family and peace in the Village.
When he appeared in the vicinity, the Nine-Tailed detected him. After all, as the little animal in its mistress’s belly, it was perfectly clear even how many minutes they had been intimate.
Its nine wildly thrashing tails quieted down at this moment, and its fiery red eyes stared intently at Minato. Although it was being controlled to destroy Konoha, it also had the same intention. Then, the Nine-Tailed tilted its head back, opened its massive mouth, and particles of varying sizes rapidly gathered within it, forming a gigantic energy ball.
The energy ball was like a star about to explode, constantly gathering and compressing, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression. Immediately after, the Nine-Tailed forcefully spat the energy ball towards Minato.
Facing the rapidly approaching Tailed Beast Ball, Minato showed no signs of retreat. He quickly formed hand seals in the air, and a massive black net-like barrier appeared before him. The Tailed Beast Ball passed through the barrier and disappeared, but the next moment, a deafening roar echoed from the distant forest.
The energy ball exploded, a blinding flash of light streaked across, accompanied by a powerful shockwave, and a colossal mushroom cloud rose from the ground.
“The destructive power of the Tailed Beast Ball is immense. It seems I need to be careful about its redirection.”
Minato murmured softly, a glimmer of protection in his eyes. Protecting the Village and its villagers from any threat was his responsibility as Hokage, and even when facing the mighty Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, he would never back down.
…
In the shelter beneath the Hokage Rock, Ninja entered in twos and threes, carrying injured people. Doctors in white coats were still busily working, skillfully bandaging the wounds of those who had fallen while fleeing, alleviating their injuries.
Others huddled together, leaning on each other, trying to find a sense of security in this unfamiliar place. Outside the cave, Ninja guarded vigilantly, their eyes as sharp as eagles, always ready to respond to potential dangers.
In this oppressive environment, Mizuno Ichito appeared exceptionally calm. He sat in a corner of the crowd, his eyes closed, as if contemplating something. His expression showed no fear like when he had first seen the Nine-Tailed’s form in the Village, but rather a deep thoughtfulness.
Last night’s experience, for Mizuno Ichito, was both a test of life and death and a baptism of the soul. He directly faced the Nine-Tailed’s roar, a genuine feeling of his own insignificance, a real sense of impending death.
Anyone who has watched Naruto knows that shortly after the Night of the Nine-Tails, the Fourth Hokage arrived, moved the Nine-Tailed out of the Village, and then summoned the Shinigami to seal the Nine-Tailed.
Moreover, throughout the entire series, except for when Nagato flattened Konoha while capturing the Nine-Tailed, everything else remained intact, and the Hokage Rock seemed to have never been destroyed, not even during Pain’s invasion of Konoha.
So, it should be very safe here now.
Not far away, a group of people wearing identical clothing sat together; their clothes all bore the Uchiha fan symbol on the back.
Among them was a boy the same age as Mizuno Ichito, who, unlike the others, was calm and sat in a corner of the crowd. He held a seemingly newborn baby in his arms, gently rocking it, afraid of waking it.
The boy’s eyes revealed a sense of maturity and steadiness, as if at this age he had already taken on the heavy responsibility of a family.
“These people are all Uchiha, so the one holding the baby should be Uchiha Itachi.”
