Chapter 1: 1.The Traveler and the System
"Thirty-two years in Konoha, on the border of the Land of Rain.
Having been lost in thought for many days, Uehara Toushi, still lying down and gazing at the sky while contemplating the meaning of life, is currently pondering a question that has confounded countless philosophers throughout history — Who am I? Where am I? What happened? And... just a moment ago, I was writing my graduation thesis, how did I end up in the Naruto world out of nowhere?! What's even more absurd is that, even if I were to accept the fact of transmigration, I'm neither an Uchiha nor a Leaf Ninja. Moreover, the current name of this body—Uehara Toushi, sounds like a side character...
Uehara has thought many times about quietly finding an opportunity to slip away, but upon reflection, surrounded by numerous towering earth walls and the occasional explosive sounds heard over the past ten days, and observing the formidable-looking ninja around, it seems like a dangerous place everywhere. Apparently, staying with the main force might be safer.
"Spirit of the Multiverse, are you there?" As Uehara silently calls out in his mind, a ding sound is heard, and a screen resembling a roulette wheel appears in his mind. The energy points below are probably chakra.
"Little spirit, how long will it take for me to open the first-level exchange permission?"
"Ding! Host needs one hundred units of energy."
Uehara is not quite sure how much one hundred units of energy is, but the current energy value of this body is 75, and it seems achievable to reach the goal of 100 energy points. Perhaps there are simpler ways to obtain energy, such as Tailed Beasts... However, being only a Chunin, he looks at the grayed-out items on the browsing interface, including Sharingan, Byakugan, Rasengan, Beheading Great Sword, and so on. Uehara is drooling at the sight, as he seems to glimpse a bright future.
"The fourteenth squad, receive your ninja tools!" A shout interrupts Uehara's daydream, and the screen in his mind disappears as he gets up. At the place for military supplies, a sturdy rock ninja drops a huge military supply box with a thud. After breaking the seal, inside is a box full of shining shuriken.
Uehara, already familiar with the routine, quickly gets up to receive the ninja tools.
"Sigh~ Shuriken again." Uehara collects sixty shuriken assigned to his squad and heads towards the camp.
Looking around, there are ninja resting and on guard everywhere. Red wide-sleeved robes, earthy-yellow tactical vests, along with the style of headgear that appeared countless times as cannon fodder in his memory, exactly matching the typical appearance of Iwa ninjas.
"The military ration pills haven't arrived yet. Mine is almost gone. Uehara, how many do you have left?" Complaining while ruthlessly sticking one shuriken after another into a tree, the chubby guy venting his dissatisfaction with the war is Uehara's current companion, the Genin Zokuwashi Kariwadachi. All chubby individuals seem to have an inexplicable obsession with food, even though the military ration pills aren't particularly tasty.
Uehara smiles and remains silent, weighing the new shuriken in his hand. Overall, Iwa's ninja tools are quite sophisticated, with minimal weight difference. No need to exchange a new set of tools; he'd have to readapt.
"As for the military ration pills, don't bother thinking about it. I heard from the high-ranking Iwa ninja that it's an emergency-developed elixir, not produced in large quantities. Also, the technique for making ration pills in the village was learned from Konoha, and the effect isn't too great." At this time, Konoha's medical ninjutsu system dominates over other ninja villages, and other villages don't luxury to equip every squad with a medical ninja.
"Oh, it was developed by Konoha ninja. I wonder if Konoha's ration pills taste better?"
Ignoring the murmuring fatty, Uehara looks around. "Fatty, didn't you lead the new recruits just now? Where are they?"
"Oh, the newcomers, the girl with black hair..." The chubby guy looks around as if it's a serious matter. This darn guy must have forgotten what the new recruit looks like.
"You fool!! With so many people, who doesn't have black hair!" Uehara sweats with a black line on his forehead.
...
"Is that her? Fatty, is that captured girl our teammate? You didn't make a mistake, right? Why did the ANBU capture her?" As Uehara ran around half the camp, he could hardly believe that the girl covered in dust, with short hair, a dirty little face, and constantly sobbing, could be his new teammate.
"Lord ANBU..." Uehara approached and communicated with the ANBU who was interrogating, "Sorry, I'm not sure how to address the ANBU—'Sir.'"
Lowering his head to look at the new teammate, fortunately, apart from being a bit dirty, there was nothing wrong.
"As the captain of the squad, I have to be concerned about what my teammate did wrong."
"She is highly likely to be a spy sent by enemy ninjas, so..."
"Pfft..." Uehara couldn't help but laugh out loud. How could such an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, covered in dust, with short hair and a dirty face, be a spy? It seemed like such an unreliable thing. "Sorry, ANBU Sir, can someone like her really be a spy? Don't you think someone like me, with extensive combat experience, is more qualified to be a spy? I think you should be interrogating me, not my companion." The work of the ANBU is detested by all ninjas; this is the conclusion Uehara has drawn from his observations. The fact that people are gradually surrounding them shows how much the ANBU is disliked.
"Chunin, please leave. The ANBU's work takes top priority." The ANBU ninja puts his hand on his ninja tool pouch, expelling Uehara, seemingly ready to draw his blade at the slightest provocation.
"Well, there's nothing I can do then..." Uehara helplessly spread his hands. These ANBU people are the most unreasonable.
"As for the new companion, even though I don't know your name, I don't believe you're a spy. It's okay for ANBU Sir to take her back to the village for interrogation and detention; at least, she won't have to go back to the battlefield..." Saying this, Uehara walked away.
"In special circumstances, such civilian ninjas, whether or not they are spies, as deserters, there's only one outcome—elimination." Under the hawk mask, the voice of the ANBU is cold, without any fluctuation, mercilessly mocking Uehara's ignorance.
"What did you say?" Uehara felt he misheard, he turned his head with difficulty. "Elimination? Bastard! Are you out of your mind?!" Taking out his shuriken, Uehara assumed a fighting stance, fiercely nailing the shuriken into the ground in front of the ANBU, "I won't allow my companion, who fights alongside me, to be easily killed like this! Bastard! What about the ANBU!"
"Fatty! Come over! Come and help! Ninja Art—Rock Clone Technique..." Two earth-colored rock clones, dodging left and right, move to surround the ANBU...
Zokuwashi Kariwadachi, the chubby guy in Uehara's mouth, is a complete coward, Uehara knew this a long time ago. He sees him looking around while shouting and running away in a cloud of smoke, "Uehara, don't be impulsive! Restrain yourself! I'll go call Captain Iwaryu..."
As expected, just a brief entanglement, Uehara's two rock clones were easily taken care of by the ANBU's two shuriken with cunning methods. Taking out two more shuriken, Uehara felt uncertain. He couldn't help but curse, "ANBU bastards, stop it! Although I can't beat you, I can still beat you into a pig's head easily. So, hehe, you better..."
"Bang." His head suddenly received a heavy blow, like being slapped with a brick, "Which bastard..." Uehara was still cursing when he fainted.
"The captain of the 14th team of the Third Middle Team of the battlefield, Jounin Iwaryu. According to the regulations of the mission manual, with the guarantee of a leading Jounin, isn't it easy to solve this situation?" Iwaryu retracted his hand, indifferent, shaking it off as if nothing had happened. He had almost beaten a certain unlucky transmigrator to death.
"Iwaryu, your ninjas don't seem to be very good. I was just executing a mission, but if you guarantee it, then there's no problem; you can take her away." The ANBU ninja, with a hawk mask, took off his mask and spoke. A scar extended from his forehead to his nose, making him look both funny and fierce.
Iwaryu raised his hand to stop the other from continuing, intending to settle the matter before chatting with Toga about old times.
"As for the new Genin, what's your name?" Iwaryu asked with a frown.
"Sherisa..." The Genin girl, still in shock from Uehara's battle with the ANBU, stammered.
"No last name... Another civilian-born ninja..." Iwaryu muttered softly.
"As your guarantor, I don't want a second escape incident to happen." Iwaryu's tone was serious, his Jounin aura fully released, making Toga next to him feel a bit unsteady, let alone the frightened Sherisa. Seeing the little girl almost crying, Iwaryu was satisfied and retracted his aura.
"But well..." Iwaryu's tone suddenly changed. Using his foot to kick Uehara lying on the ground, seeing that he didn't seem to be dying, "You seem to have a pretty good captain. Although a bit foolish."
Looking at the dirty little girl, Iwaryu kindly reminded her, "Sherisa, you can leave now. There's a water source in the camp; you can clean up."
"Captain, what about Uehara?" The chubby guy asked cautiously, looking at Uehara who kept twitching and foaming at the mouth; it didn't look like he was okay.
"Don't worry; he'll be fine after a good sleep." Iwaryu waved his hand, dismissing Toga.
Following the order, Toga hurriedly called his companions, "Hey, that, Sherisa, we'll carry Uehara back..."
When Sherisa walked away, Iwaryu looked at the ninja who took off his mask, "Toga, I guess it's you based on the voice. Taking off the mask during the mission violates the rules."
The ninja called Toga shrugged indifferently, "The order from the Third Tsuchikage, some ANBU ninjas will be removed as a supplement to the second-line forces. So, now I have a dual identity as both an ANBU and a member of the combat team..."
"So," Iwaryu's tone was unfriendly, "fight together during the day and secretly execute companions at night?"
"Uh," Toga helplessly rubbed his forehead, "Iwaryu, you always make people dislike you!"
