At that very moment, a crisp electronic voice echoed directly in his ears.
[Ding, Naruto Redemption System officially online!]
[Respected host, hello! I am an intelligent system assistant from the future. May I ask if you are willing to bind with the Naruto Redemption System? Successful binding will grant you a Newbie Gift Pack. If you refuse, the host will immediately self destruct.]
What? Mitsuki was momentarily dazed by the sudden system announcement. Could this really be the legendary Golden Finger system?
Then he complained inwardly. Did this even count as a choice?
Self destruction was obviously not an option. Mitsuki thought to himself that he was not Deidara.
He definitely had to bind it.
However, before agreeing, he still had some questions that needed answers. 'What do you mean by Naruto Redemption System?' Mitsuki asked silently in his mind.
[ host, there are many regrets and dissatisfactions within the anime Naruto. That is precisely why I was created. Your mission is to use my assistance to allow these characters to obtain fulfillment and closure.]
I see. So the objective was to redeem these characters and make up for the regrets left behind in Naruto.
Mitsuki himself was a loyal Naruto fan, so he did not feel any rejection toward this sudden system or its mission. On the contrary, he felt genuine sympathy for those two dimensional characters.
He had always believed that the people in Naruto were not true villains. They simply stood on different sides. In the end, every single one of them was striving toward what they believed to be peace.
They were nothing more than a group of lunatics obsessed with peace.
"Then why choose me?" Mitsuki continued to question calmly.
[Because of your love for this anime and your courage, I believe you will be able to complete this mission successfully.]
Naturally, the system could not admit the real reason. It was because it was newly born, while its senior systems had already claimed all the safer worlds. With no other option, it was forced to descend into the extremely dangerous Naruto world and bind randomly to someone who had watched the anime. If the mission failed, it would be trapped here forever. Just thinking about it made the system want to cry.
Fortunately, this randomly chosen host seemed rather easy to communicate with.
"One last question. Can I return after completing the mission?" Mitsuki asked.
[Of course. Once the mission is completed, you may choose to return to the modern world or remain here. I will do my utmost to assist you.]
The system answered hurriedly, afraid that Mitsuki might change his mind at the last second.
"It seems I have no other choice. Since I am already here, I might as well see it through.
"Bind it." Mitsuki smiled faintly.
[Ding, binding successful.]
[Naruto Redemption Mission activated. Host character Uchiha Mitsuki. Identity confirmed. Eldest son of Uchiha Clan Leader Uchiha Fugaku. Elder brother of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.]
[Commencing body scan. Host health status one hundred percent. Would you like to open the status panel?]
"Of course. Open it." Mitsuki replied without hesitation. His modern name still remained, yet he had transmigrated into the role of Itachi and Sasuke's older brother.
[Ding, mission loaded successfully. The Newbie Gift Pack has arrived. Please check it, host.]
As the system finished speaking, a translucent blue panel floated before Mitsuki's eyes. His name and avatar were displayed in the upper left corner, while a Lottery Pool occupied the center. Numerous functions were listed, though most of them were locked behind Points, which were likely obtained through missions. Mitsuki decided to study those later and focused on the Newbie Gift Pack first.
He lightly tapped the receive button at the top of the panel, and his eyes instantly lit up. A pair of lifelike Three Tomoe Sharingan materialized before him. They looked incredibly real, almost as if they were alive.
"Is this the Sharingan?" Mitsuki was both shocked and delighted.
Countless Naruto fans were familiar with the Sharingan. This unique ocular jutsu belonged exclusively to the Uchiha Clan.
However, the conditions required to awaken it were extremely harsh. One needed to experience intense emotional fluctuations, most often triggered by the death, betrayal, or severe injury of a loved one or close companion.
Mitsuki had been glad to transmigrate into the Uchiha Clan, yet he also worried about how he would awaken the Sharingan in the future. Just as that concern surfaced, the system delivered the Newbie Gift Pack like a pillow offered to someone just before falling asleep.
[Yes, host. Would you like to use it immediately? Additionally, the Newbie Gift Pack includes Chakra Extraction and a gift of one hundred Points. Please note that the Newbie Gift Pack is valid for three years. Be sure to use it within the validity period, or it will expire.]
"Not now. Let us talk about it in three years. I want to learn about your lottery system first."
Mitsuki pondered for a moment. Awakening the Three Tomoe Sharingan as an infant would be far too abnormal. It would be better to wait three years, then come up with a reasonable explanation for Uchiha Fugaku.
Just imagining an infant suffering from so called red eye disease made Mitsuki break into goosebumps. He would probably be treated as a monster and placed under observation.
[As you wish, host.]
This system was unexpectedly easy to deal with. Aside from the initial threat of self destruction, it remained polite throughout the conversation. Its voice also sounded immature, as if it were a newly created system thrown into this world without preparation. Mitsuki felt an odd sense of shared misfortune.
Both sides felt that they had encountered a soft hearted partner.
First, Mitsuki decided to examine the lottery system. After confirming the one hundred Points, he opened the Lottery Pool. A dazzling crystal ball immediately came into view. Beneath it were the costs.
One hundred Points for a single draw, four hundred eighty Points for five draws, and nine hundred Points for ten draws.
The interface looked pleasing, yet the more Mitsuki stared at it, the more familiar it felt.
"Do the one hundred Points have a time
limit?" Saving up for a ten draw would clearly be the most efficient choice.
[Host, Points do not expire.]
That settled it. There was no need to rush. Mitsuki planned to save until he could afford a full ten draw. Curious, he opened the shop to see what kinds of rewards were available.
"This is…" Mitsuki's eyes widened in disbelief. He finally understood why the interface looked so familiar. Was this not identical to the Honor of Kings game he once loved before eventually quitting?
Ignoring the ordinary ninjutsu rewards, his gaze locked onto several truly terrifying Golden Finger options.
Infinite Chakra. Chakra is the mysterious and powerful energy that forms the foundation of the Ninja World.
It is the perfect fusion of spiritual energy and physical energy within the human body, transcending material limitations. Chakra is the basis of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. It can also be shaped into ropes, blades, or other forms used to restrain enemies or cut through Chakra based matter.
In essence, Chakra is the source of a ninja's life and power.
Legend says that the Sage of Six Paths used Chakra to connect human souls, creating countless miracles.
Extracting Chakra is a profound art. Through continuous cultivation, ninjas balance spiritual and physical forces, stimulating this extraordinary energy.
When Chakra is abundant, ninjas guide it through hand seals, ancient gestures that allow them to unleash countless techniques.
Wood Release. A power known as the embodiment of life itself.
This legendary bloodline ability is one of the rarest existences in the Naruto world. It allows its wielder to convert the energy of all things into boundless vitality.
It was created by the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, founder of Konohagakure and the original master of Wood Release.
As a Kekkei Genkai, Wood Release requires the perfect fusion of Earth and Water Chakra. This fusion is not a simple combination but a sublimation of life itself. The user must treat their Chakra as fertile soil, nurturing life into existence.
Rinnegan. Known as the Eye that Governs Life and Death.
Its origins trace back to the Chakra Fruit of the God Tree, containing both creation and destruction. It is the ultimate ocular power.
Those who possess the Rinnegan naturally comprehend all five elemental Chakras, along with the principles of Yin and Yang.
These eyes grant transcendent abilities, allowing one to become a god of creation or a harbinger of destruction.
Every appearance of the Rinnegan marks a turning point in history.
Calm down. Calm down. Even if it exists, someone unlucky like you probably would not draw it.
Mitsuki took a deep breath and steadied himself before speaking.
"Are there any missions I need to complete right now?"
[Host, please rest properly. Your current body is that of an infant and cannot execute missions. I will appear when the appropriate time comes.]
"Understood." Mitsuki agreed. An infant's body truly was too fragile.
With Uchiha Mikoto's gentle lullaby echoing beside him, Mitsuki gradually drifted into a peaceful sleep.
