(This is a single-female-lead, pure romance novel with Tsunade as the female lead. If you're looking for a harem, you can leave. Additionally, the protagonist is a Transmigrator with a very old true age, so please don't view him as a child.)
(The timeline in Hokage has a slight issue, so this novel's timeline will follow the author's ideas. To ensure plot continuity, there have been minor modifications. Please be lenient, esteemed readers. If you dislike the timeline differing from the original, you can directly drop the novel.)
(This is a fanfiction of Hokage that incorporates abilities from other anime. The settings will change according to the author's ideas, so there will definitely be discrepancies with the original anime's abilities. Therefore, it's recommended to read without overthinking for a better experience~~ Also, the author will introduce other anime abilities at the end of the chapters where they appear, but the introductions will be adapted for the Ninja World. I hope you, respected readers, enjoy it.)
(If there are conflicts with the original settings in the text, feel free to discuss them with me, and I will provide compensation, excluding plot aspects, as these will certainly be modified.)
(Writing a novel with an input method will inevitably lead to many typos and grammatical errors. I welcome all Wu Yanzu and Liu Yifei to help me find them.)
(If readers find any 'toxic points' in the text, feel free to comment. I will actively revise them, provided I also agree they are indeed toxic. After all, writing for a long time can sometimes make my mind fuzzy, and I might not even know what I've written before publishing.)
(Furthermore, many parts of the text are different from, or even completely opposite to, the original work. If you mind, please bypass. However, I will write out the original plot at the points of change to prevent accusations of being an 'internet critic'.)

...
Ninja World, Konoha Village.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the leaves, coloring the emerald green with sunlight.
"Did I fail again?"
Under a tree, a child looked at the Golden Light on his fingertips, a hint of helplessness on his face.
The child's name was Bei Xuan. Due to the common Transmigrator method of 'bumping into luck,' he arrived in the world of Hokage.
When he first transmigrated, Bei Xuan also thought that as a Transmigrator with a Golden Finger, he could kick Obito with Kamui and punch Madara of the Six Paths.
Unfortunately, while he had a Golden Finger, it wasn't the kind that made him instantly invincible.
Since Bei Xuan's birth, he didn't know if it was due to the transmigration or if, as an infant, he could only vaguely perceive his surroundings. If it weren't for the constant human voices, Bei Xuan would have thought he had reincarnated as a blob of flesh.
Coupled with the fragile body of an infant, even with an adult mind, he couldn't control the new body at all. He was also affected by the weak body, not only unable to see things clearly but also having very little time to be awake each day.
He spent his infancy in a daze until he was one year old, when the inability to control his body improved.
When he first transmigrated and learned it was the Hokage world, Bei Xuan was full of worry. After all, the Hokage world was very cruel, and he, as a Transmigrator, had neither red eyes nor white eyes.
In this world of legendary eyes, if a commoner Ninja had no path, he would probably spend his entire life only seeing the backs of geniuses, then die in an unnoticed corner during a mission, or not become a Ninja and live as an ordinary villager unable to control his own destiny, waiting for the Child of Destiny to change the Ninja World.
However, Bei Xuan didn't feel particularly disheartened upon learning that he had transmigrated to the Hokage world without red eyes, white eyes, or the ability to 'greenify' (referring to wood release). After all, even commoners like Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, and Orochimaro found their own paths, didn't they? These individuals were the most prominent representatives among Konoha's commoners.
As for Might Guy, who almost kicked out the ending, although he also belonged to the commoner class, with the family's secret technique Eight Gates Formation, in Bei Xuan's eyes, he couldn't truly be considered a commoner. It would be more appropriate to describe Might Guy as from a humble family.
At least Bei Xuan's own family didn't have such a secret technique that, as long as one persistently trained and honed oneself, constantly breaking through one's limits, one could potentially reach the Kage level, or even, with Taijutsu talent, reach the Six Paths level of forbidden techniques through hard work.
(Note: The Hokage world doesn't have the term 'Kage level,' but to better illustrate strength in the novel, the tiers of Kage and Super Kage have been established, along with the later Six Paths.)
However, all these anxieties disappeared in his third year, as a golden light bloomed at Bei Xuan's fingertips.
.......
On his third birthday, Bei Xuan entered a misty space in his dream. The surroundings were dark, with only vast, thick fog.
In the mid-air of the fog, a lottery tube was constantly shaking with a certain rhythm, the sound of bamboo slips colliding echoing throughout the space.
At the same time, from time to time, a bamboo slip would fly out of the lottery tube and float in the air. Soon, various bamboo slips with different lights were floating around Bei Xuan.
After Bei Xuan grasped one of the bamboo slips, he immediately understood its function. Each bamboo slip represented an ability, but from its appearance, he couldn't know what the power was.
And the first ability Bei Xuan obtained was...
Golden Light Curse!!!
Every three years thereafter, Bei Xuan could enter the misty space to choose a bamboo slip, but what ability he would gain from the slip depended solely on luck.
...
"I have to report tomorrow. I wonder what the Fourth Hokage was like when he was still a child."
Now six years old, Bei Xuan had reached the age to enter the Ninja Academy. After acquiring the Golden Light Curse, Bei Xuan had been cultivating ever since.
And in this sixth year, Bei Xuan drew his second bamboo slip, obtaining the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, which possessed endless vitality.
Because the power of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, apart from its flying ability, was more passive. That endless life force constantly made Bei Xuan feel his body being strengthened little by little.
Therefore, Bei Xuan's focus was on cultivating the Golden Light Curse. It was just a pity that no matter how hard Bei Xuan tried to cultivate the Golden Light Curse, the golden light he had refined could only cover his entire body, and he could not yet freely use the Golden Light to materialize objects.
From the moment he mastered the Golden Light Curse, Bei Xuan understood that the Golden Light Curse was a dual cultivation method of both 'Xing' (nature/spirit) and 'Ming' (life/body). Because he was a Transmigrator, Bei Xuan's 'Xing' cultivation now far outpaced his 'Ming' cultivation.
This was due to the mismatch between his memories and life experiences from before transmigration and his current child's body. Even with the strengthening from the Soul Bone, he still couldn't balance the cultivation of 'Xing' and 'Ming'.
'Xing' is the spiritual perception of this body, and 'Ming' is the vitality of this body. Even though Bei Xuan had never systematically cultivated the path of the heart, the creation of 'Xing' is inherently tied to the heart.
The imbalance between 'Xing' and 'Ming' caused Bei Xuan's Golden Light Curse progress to be very slow, and all Bei Xuan could do was continuously improve his 'Ming' cultivation.
Unfortunately, all this was too ethereal for someone who had just learned about the Golden Light Curse. Without a teacher, Bei Xuan could only slowly explore on his own.
Even though his progress was relatively slow now, Bei Xuan believed that being able to explore and cover his entire body with golden light in such a short time was already quite extraordinary. Although the intensity was somewhat concerning, at least it was covered, wasn't it?
Withdrawing the Golden Light from his fingertips, Bei Xuan stood up, patted the dust off his bottom, and walked towards home. Regarding his inexplicable transmigration, what made Bei Xuan feel at ease was that he at least wasn't an orphan at the start, not having to live a bitter life under someone else's roof or enter the Konoha orphanage, potentially being taken away by the One-Eyed Man, a terrible beginning.
Although Bei Xuan was not an orphan, he wasn't far from it. Not long after Bei Xuan was born, his father sacrificed himself while performing a Village-assigned mission to support the family. His mother also passed away from illness when Bei Xuan was five, leaving only his grandmother to care for Bei Xuan.
Currently, Bei Xuan's family income relied entirely on Village subsidies and his grandmother selling grilled fish. As for Bei Xuan's enrollment fees for the Ninja Academy, they were fully waived because he belonged to a hero's family.
However, the Village was not a charity. Naturally, it couldn't support Bei Xuan his entire life. According to Konoha regulations, once Bei Xuan officially became a Ninja, the Village would cut off the subsidies.
Although called subsidies, this money was more like compensation from Konoha after Bei Xuan's father sacrificed himself for Konoha. It was just that this compensation was somewhat pitifully small due to the 'financial difficulties of Konoha' mentioned by a certain Hokage.
And Bei Xuan naturally wouldn't have a good impression of Konoha's management due to these meager subsidies. Knowing everything, Bei Xuan understood what kind of psychopaths and fanatics those few people in the Hokage Building were.
.....
The next day.
Early in the morning, Bei Xuan was woken up by his grandmother. Dressed in the new clothes his grandmother had prepared for a long time, Bei Xuan walked towards the Ninja Academy.
His grandmother originally wanted to see Bei Xuan off, but Bei Xuan firmly refused. His grandmother could only watch her grandson go to the Ninja Academy alone.
The Ninja Academy's opening day was always bustling with people. His grandmother was an ordinary person, and if she accidentally got bumped and fell, that would be bad.
"Bei Xuan is reporting today, huh? Have you had breakfast? Would you like a bowl of Anko soup?"
"I've eaten, thank you, Aunt Baihui."
"Big Brother, are you going to report? When you come back, remember to tell us what the Ninja Academy is like!"
"Haven't you guys gotten tired of hearing it? Your brother must have told you already, right?"
"It's different! It's different!"
"Alright, then I'll tell you when I get back."
Bei Xuan, being obedient and sensible since childhood, was always referred to as 'someone else's child' by neighbors on this street. He also knew many game rules that were widely circulated among children, so he was respectfully called 'Big Brother.'
Soon, Bei Xuan arrived at the Ninja Academy. After presenting his proof, he successfully entered the school and went to his assigned classroom, finding a random seat.
As soon as Bei Xuan sat down, he began to observe the people who had already arrived in the classroom. It must be said that the hairstyles in the Ninja World were truly unconventional. Coupled with the different hair colors, Bei Xuan was very glad that his hair was black and his hairstyle was normal.
"Bang!"
"Silence!!"
After a while, the classroom was full. A man with a scar on his face walked into the classroom, slammed the podium, and the entire classroom immediately fell silent.

Under One Person Mini-Tip: 【Golden Light Curse: A method of dual cultivation of 'Xing' (nature/spirit) and 'Ming' (life/body), which improves both 'Xing' and 'Ming' cultivation by entering the 'Right' state. At the same time, cultivating the Golden Light Curse can produce 'Golden Light,' a versatile derivative that can be freely controlled. The Golden Light Curse's strength lies in its dual cultivation, not in the Golden Light being the foundation for the protagonist's strength.】
ps: The author knows that the essence of the Golden Light Curse is dual cultivation of 'Xing' and 'Ming'. In the first few chapters, pursuing Golden Light materialization is overambitious and for the sake of being cool. He will understand later (the protagonist's cheats every three years will be explicitly written out one by one. It's impossible to spend a lot of ink writing them out in the first few chapters; only foreshadowing will be laid. If you are really eager to know, check the synopsis or skip directly to Chapter 15.)
