Chapter 02: I Am a Movie Projector (2nd Update, seeking fresh flowers and collections)
Konoha Hospital.
Tengen opened his eyes. He now understood the current situation; the coma just now was caused by the infusion of a fragment.
Inside, there were memories of everything Tengen had experienced in Konoha, as well as how the Cheat worked and how to use it.
Tengen is currently 8 years old and studying at the Konoha Ninja Academy. When he was four, his parents died while on a mission, so Tengen has been living alone since then. This actually makes it more convenient for Tengen to integrate into the Naruto World.
In this Naruto World, Tengen also had somewhat thick nerves, so his relationship with his classmates at school was quite good. This personality was similar to the original Tengen, which might be one of the reasons the Player System chose this individual.
Perhaps the Tengen of the Naruto World is a reflection of the Tengen from Earth.
It's just that Tengen's ninja talent isn't great. Of course, it's not bad either; his strength in the Ninja Academy is about mid-tier. He can't compare to some genius students, like the black-haired girl Anko seen in the classroom earlier; he is somewhat inferior to her.
Now that Tengen, with his familiar memories, knows this girl is Anko, by comparison, he knows that this is the future Mitarashi Anko, who will also be Orochimaru's disciple.
The recovery of these memories was a great help to Tengen, allowing him to better integrate into this Naruto World.
Regarding where he lives, where to get food, and even Chakra cultivation, the execution of basic Ninjutsu like the Body Replacement Technique, Kunai throwing, and so on—it feels as if he has already practiced them.
It's just that Tengen needs to familiarize himself with these things.
On the other hand, besides these memories...
Tengen knows how to use the Player. This is a Cheat, but this Cheat is a bit odd.
It seems Tengen himself is like a signal receiver player. In the entire Naruto World, signal points will be generated randomly. These signal points can receive some anime or movie fragments.
After receiving these fragments, he can extract abilities from them.
The location for signal reception is generally fixed within a small range, and the duration will also change and refresh at any time and place.
At the same time, the video player receives fragments in six signal types: Normal, Standard, HD, Full HD, Blu-ray, and IMAX.
Of course, Normal is the worst. It's just that with this type of signal receiving a certain fragment, the difficulty of extracting good things is too high.
For those like Full HD, Blu-ray, and IMAX, the chance of extracting good things is much higher.
It's not one hundred percent, but eighty percent is the minimum.
Similarly, the Player System will refresh some regular missions. These missions can harvest video fragments or Honor Points.
Because those HD and Full HD video fragments can also be purchased with Honor Points, but the difficulty of obtaining Honor Points is a bit high.
So receiving signals is the most convenient method, but Tengen knows that this kind of signal reception will definitely be a pitfall.
"Even if it's a pit, I have to jump in." Tengen sighed. He knew the ninja aptitude of this body; following the standard steps, there was definitely no hope.
He didn't want to be accidentally killed by a ninja from an enemy village at some point.
Tengen knew that it was currently Konoha Year 45, and the Third Great Ninja War was about to begin.
If nothing goes wrong, when the Third Great Ninja War ends, the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha will also begin. If his strength isn't powerful, he really might become cannon fodder in the midst of it.
In the Ninja World War, the probability of Jōnin dying is also high, let alone Chūnin and Genin.
"To possess Jōnin level strength in just a few short years... the pressure feels really huge." Tengen complained. Fortunately, he had a Cheat; Heaven did not let down his expectations.
Otherwise, without the Uchiha bloodline, wanting to improve to that level of strength in a short time would really be a fool's dream.
"Wait, speaking of which, System, why am I in the Naruto World?" Tengen realized a point. In the memories just now, this matter wasn't explained.
"The Host is the person chosen by Destiny," the System stalled for a moment, then responded.
"Destiny my ass." Tengen gave the middle finger. "Just say it directly."
Then, the System showed a fragment. The handsome Tengen was playing games when suddenly a fireball fell from the sky, turning Tengen's home directly into flying ash. The Tengen inside was naturally done for.
That fireball was the Player. For some unknown reason, this fireball merged with Tengen's soul, then broke through space and arrived in the Naruto World.
"Fine, I can only say my luck is pretty good." Tengen looked at this fragment, feeling powerless.
True destiny; it was extremely unlucky.
"However, now that it has merged with my soul, it is me, and I am the Player," Tengen muttered. "I am the Player. It feels a bit badass. It fits the beginning of a badass story."
After complaining inexplicably, Tengen felt a little better in his heart.
At this time, voices came from outside the door.
"Teacher, Tengen is awake." A girl's voice rang out.
"The medical ninja said he's fine," the ninja teacher said.
"Then I'll go take a look," the girl said.
"Let's go together," the ninja teacher said, entering the room.
Tengen looked at the three people in front of him and greeted them, "Hi, Takagi-sensei, Anko, and Iruka. Hello."
"Damn Tengen, I thought something happened to you," Mitarashi Anko walked to Tengen's side and said viciously. "Otherwise, our school's 'Second Tyrant' would be missing a person, and I would be sad."
"Second Tyrant..." Tengen felt a pain in the ass. "Anko, you mean 'Bully', right? I am a good person."
"A good person? Iruka, do you believe Tengen's words?" Anko turned around and asked.
"Tengen is a good person," the honest Umino Iruka said.
"Asking you was a waste of time," Anko said speechlessly.
"Well, Takagi-sensei, I'm fine now. Let me be discharged directly," Tengen stood up and said.
"Are you really okay? There's no rush for Ninja Academy classes," Takagi-sensei said. Although he was somewhat speechless about Tengen disrupting the class from time to time, Takagi-sensei also knew that Tengen was very serious about ninja studies.
"I'm fine." Tengen jumped onto the floor. "Look, I can kill a cow right now."
"Alright, then I'll go handle the procedures." Takagi-sensei nodded.
