Chapter 1:
The twelfth year of Konoha – a legendary era recorded within the scrolls...
"Tsuruta!"
Outside the nursery, a middle-aged man with a weary expression and a scruffy beard, holding a cigarette in his mouth, appeared somewhat exhausted. "The Yuu family... they've both perished."
Upon hearing these words, the younger man called Tsuruta visibly flinched, a look of disbelief washing over his face. His voice trembled as he questioned, "Both of them are dead?"
Receiving an affirmative response from the middle-aged man, tears began to well in the corners of Tsuruta's eyes. With a sorrowful tone, he lamented, "To think, Yuu and his wife were such kind-hearted individuals... how could they possibly meet such an end?"
The middle-aged man exhaled a long stream of smoke, placing a comforting hand on Tsuruta's shoulder as he reassured him, "Tsuruta, these virtuous deeds that you've carried out will not be forgotten by the higher-ups once the war concludes..."
Hearing this, Tsuruta appeared almost humiliated, his face flushing with a mixture of embarrassment and indignation. "What are you saying? That couple entrusted their child to me; that is a testament to their faith in me. Even if they are no longer with us, I am duty-bound to raise their children to adulthood. It is my responsibility!"
After exchanging a few more polite words, the two men slowly departed.
As the two men walked away from the door, neither could have imagined that within the nursery, lying in a cot, a pair of eyes was intently fixed upon the nameplate affixed to the side: Yuu...
"Have I truly been transported to the world of Naruto?"
Ren Aoi narrowed his eyes, glancing towards a calendar bearing the emblem of Konoha. "Year 12 of the era of Konoha?"
This turn of events was far from ideal. As an avid enthusiast of the Naruto series, he possessed a comprehensive understanding of the vast majority of events that had transpired within that world.
The Third Shinobi World War!
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's assault on Konoha!
The annihilation of the Uchiha clan!
The machinations of Black Zetsu!
Regrettably, the majority of these significant occurrences were destined to unfold decades into the future. The twelfth year of Konoha, on the other hand, was a brutal and sanguinary period, its history condensed into a mere few lines of text, for it was simply a time of unrelenting warfare and carnage...
"Devoid of power, I shall likely meet my demise in short order."
Ren Aoi closed his eyes, and before him, a line of enigmatic characters materialized.
"Please claim your beginner's gift package!"
Ren Aoi watched the message flicker incessantly before his eyes. Simultaneously, a seemingly ordinary wooden treasure chest emanated a faint, ethereal glow.
Character: Ren Aoi
Items: None
Chakra: None
Ninjutsu: None
"A system..."
Ren Aoi mused, a sense of wonder washing over him. From the very moment he had transmigrated, he had become aware of the existence of this system.
"A Ninja Training System!"
However, Ren Aoi refrained from rashly opening the treasure chest bestowed upon him by the system. Were the chest to yield a colossal mech, his current infant form would undoubtedly render him vulnerable, essentially inviting trouble.
Within the tall, floor-length mirror, nestled in a cozy crib, lay an endearing infant, his eyes narrowed as he intently gazed into the reflective surface.
"To think, I have been reborn as an infant..."
Ren Aoi stroked his chin, though he did not appear overly dismayed. After all, if one were to consider it objectively, it could be viewed as a rejuvenation of sorts.
"However, now is not the time to dwell on such matters." Ren Aoi's gaze fell upon the name Yuu Aoi inscribed upon his cot, and he furrowed his brow. "If I am not mistaken, my parents in this life have already perished in the ongoing conflict..."
This nursery must be a facility specifically designed for the temporary care of infants whose parents are Konoha shinobi. The man named Tsuruta from earlier must be the proprietor of this infant care establishment.
At that moment, the door to the nursery was abruptly thrust open once more. It was Tsuruta, the owner of the nursery, returning!
Ren Aoi swiftly feigned sleep, yet through the slits of his eyelids, he observed that Tsuruta's countenance was contorted in a most unpleasant manner.
His gaunt face was now adorned with a sinister, cold smile!
"Heh heh, you little brat. Had I known that your parents were destined for such a short lifespan, I would never have allowed you to squander so much of my precious food..."
As he spoke, Tsuruta made a beeline for Ren Aoi's cot, reaching out with his hand to seize the infant.
Tsuruta's frigid hands, akin to the spindly limbs of a spider, clamped around Ren Aoi's neck, hoisting him up as if he were a mere bag of refuse. He then proceeded to carry Ren Aoi towards the rear entrance of the nursery.
"Heh, good lad, you certainly are a sound sleeper!"
Tsuruta, a malevolent grin plastered across his face, flung open the lid of the refuse container located behind the establishment and unceremoniously tossed Ren Aoi inside...
One minute elapsed, and only after ascertaining that Tsuruta had indeed departed did Ren Aoi gingerly rise from within the confines of the trash receptacle. He cast a forlorn glance at the tightly sealed metal lid of the container and emitted a sigh of resignation...
"Indeed, this is the true essence of a shinobi..."
Ren Aoi took a deep breath, lamenting, "The Will of Fire may burn with fervent intensity, yet beneath the blazing inferno lies naught but decaying branches and festering roots..."
