Reborn, I'm Uzumaki Naruto!

Brain storage area

This is my first time writing a novel.

I have a regular job; writing novels is just an interest. If everyone enjoys reading it, I'll keep writing!

My energy is limited at the moment, but I'll do my best to keep updating.

My writing skills are limited, and I can only write feel-good stories. Follow now—everyone getting on board is an old fan!

Thank you all for your support!

Lin Xiao's fingers flew across the keyboard as his eyes remained fixed on the screen.

He was playing the Naruto mobile game through an emulator—the damned LDPlayer!

Compared to rubbing away at a phone screen, he still preferred the feel of using a keyboard.

It was already the end of the month, and the ranked matches in the Duel Arena were about to settle.

It had reached a critical moment. This match was his promotion match to Super Kage, and two of Lin Xiao's character icons had already been blacked out.

They were Uchiha Madara: Impure World Reincarnation—Release and Uchiha Obito: Ninja World War.

The character he was controlling was White Mask Obito, known as the ninja who struggled the hardest!

White Mask was still cooking!

Two of the opponent's character icons had also been blacked out.

They were Hiruzen Sarutobi: Impure World Reincarnation and Uchiha Madara: Impure World Reincarnation.

His opponent was way too pure—paying tribute to the legendary ninja, his mentor, Konoha's autumn, and going all out without overthinking it: the Realm of Utmost Purity!

His opponent's final remaining ninja was Kurotsuchi. Did he like my Flying Silver Screaming Female Dog? A ninja famed for flying around without ever touching the ground.

"Damn it!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth. He could feel his heartbeat accelerating, and his palms began to sweat.

Kurotsuchi on the screen launched another attack. A powerful Earth Style Ninjutsu struck the White Mask under Lin Xiao's control directly, followed by a Great Whirlwind that left Lin Xiao utterly helpless.

Watching the opponent spam head-patting emotes, Lin Xiao shouted in anger as well.

That's just how people in our village are. Other than when they have no manners, they're usually very polite!

Seeing that he did not have a single substitute meter left and could not use Substitution, Lin Xiao knew the overall situation had been decided!

"No!" Lin Xiao roared furiously. He clenched both hands into fists, smashed them down hard on the keyboard, then hurled it away with all his strength.

The keyboard instantly shattered into pieces, paying tribute to the legendary streamer, Yaoyang the Dog-Barker!

He felt a wave of weakness and frustration. Closing his eyes, he took deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

Just then, he heard a strange sound coming from the computer screen before him, like the hum of machinery and also like whispers in the wind.

He opened his eyes and saw an unusual light emanating from the screen. The light grew brighter and brighter until it formed a vortex that released a powerful suction force.

Before Lin Xiao could react, he was sucked into the computer by that force.

His consciousness began to blur. His final memory was that vortex-like light and endless darkness.

When Lin Xiao opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on an unfamiliar bed in a room decorated in a Japanese style.

He sat up and felt dizzy. His memories were still frozen at the instant he had been sucked into the computer, but he was clearly no longer in the modern world he knew.

He stood up, walked to a mirror, and saw a completely different self—a blond, blue-eyed boy whose face held determination and curiosity.

"This is..." Lin Xiao touched his face in shock, realizing that he had become someone else.

His name was Uzumaki Naruto, an orphan and the protagonist of Naruto.

Could he have transmigrated into the world of Naruto?

And not only that, he had become Naruto's protagonist, Uzumaki Naruto himself!

He was currently still in his youth.

Suddenly, a huge flood of memories surged into his mind, and the pain instantly caused him to pass out.

After waking up, his memories had completely merged with Naruto's. At this moment, he was Uzumaki Naruto!

Lin Xiao—or rather, Uzumaki Naruto—felt a rush of excitement.

He had fantasized countless times about transmigrating into the world of Naruto, but now it had all become reality.

He decided to accept this new identity and begin his ninja life.

After the excitement faded, hunger rose from his stomach.

That was right, he was hungry.

According to Naruto's original memories, he had very little money left. Moreover, the detestable Third Hokage had not only withheld the inheritance that should have belonged to him as the Son of a Hero—

He also gave him only a tiny allowance every month, nowhere near enough for Naruto to grow up healthily!

Most of the villagers were extremely hostile toward him. Their eyes were filled with hatred, as if they wanted to kill him with their own hands!

Some even sold him inferior, expired food that would make them feel sick for a long time if they ate it themselves.

"You damned Demon Fox! Why aren't you dead yet? You still want to come buy food?"

"I don't know why Hokage-sama hasn't killed you yet. Keeping a scourge like you around—you deserve to starve to death!"

"My mom said he's the incarnation of the Demon Fox. If we play with him, the Demon Fox might latch onto us!"

"My dad said that if I see him again, I shouldn't play with him. I can even beat him up, and when I get home, he'll praise me for doing a good job!"

The villagers' countless malicious words continuously surfaced in his mind.

Even Naruto, who knew the original plot well, was furious. Since he had transmigrated into Naruto's body, then he was Naruto!

Naruto had clearly done nothing wrong. He was clearly the Fourth Hokage's son, clearly a pitiful child who should have been cherished by the villagers.

Yet he had suffered such malice. It was truly disgusting!

At that thought, wisps of red Chakra flowed from within Naruto's body, affecting his emotions.

Hatred began to slowly rise in Naruto's heart as well.

Seeing the faint strands of red Chakra appearing around his body, Naruto knew that the Nine-Tails was causing trouble!

After forcibly calming himself down, Naruto knew that his top priority was filling his stomach. Staying alive was what truly mattered!

Back when he loved watching Naruto, he had only remembered how passionate the protagonist Naruto was and how he grew step by step into a hero of the Ninja World.

He had forgotten how Naruto had endured that period alone and helpless before the story began.

No friends, extreme loneliness—yet under such circumstances, he had not turned evil or become someone bent on revenge against society.

Konoha's villagers were quite lucky, really!

However, now that Lin Xiao, who had received a modern education, had come to this world where strength reigned supreme—

Sooner or later, he would make those damned people understand what it meant to repay others in kind!

The hunger in his stomach kept surging!

Feeling the condition of his body, Naruto could not help feeling bitter.

Because he had gone so long without nutritious food, his body had become frail. Naruto's body was already completely worn out!

The most important thing now was to find food!

Searching through his memories, Naruto recalled that there was a small stream beside the woods near his home. He should be able to catch some fish there.

Thinking of that, Naruto immediately began to act.

The hunger in his stomach made him move much faster as well.

Feeling the villagers' hostility along the roadside, he quickened his pace. Although they did not know the truth, their ignorance had still harmed the Naruto of the past, and no matter what they said in the future, they would never be able to make up for it!

As for the others—heh, Konoha's higher-ups—sooner or later, he would settle this debt with them properly!

He finally arrived at the woods from his memories. Looking at the stream beside them, it was not deep, but it still reached Naruto's stomach.

Naruto picked up a fallen tree branch from beneath a tree and began fishing.

Naruto in his previous life had never tried catching fish, and Naruto in this life had no experience with it either, so he found it extremely difficult.

Watching delicious fish swim continuously around him while the branch in his hand missed every time, Naruto could not help getting angry. Even a bunch of little fish are mocking me!

Naruto angrily smashed the branch downward, only to unexpectedly hit his first fish!

"Congratulations, Host. You have killed your first lifeform and activated the God-tier Mission System!"

It was here, it was here, it was here!

The essential system for every transmigrator had finally arrived!

But Naruto truly had no mind to deal with this newly appeared system right now.

His stomach was already unbearably hungry.

If he had not retained even the slightest bit of reason—

He might really have eaten this little fish raw!

Fish: Don't come any closer!

Carrying the fish he had speared to the shore, Naruto picked up several sticks and began the most traditional method of making fire by rubbing wood together.

The fire finally started. Naruto's drenched body also became warm because of the flames.

Naruto took out the small knife he had brought from home from his pocket. This time, he had not come out completely unprepared!

He used the little knife to fiercely smack the head of the fish that was still struggling in his hand.

"Sorry, Fish Bro. If you don't die today, then I'll be the one who dies. Better you than me, so I'll have to trouble you!"

After being knocked unconscious, the fish slept very peacefully.

Naruto began preparing the fish. After simply scraping off the scales, he ran a wooden stick through its body and placed it over the fire to roast.

High-end ingredients often required the simplest cooking methods!

Once the fish was nearly done, Naruto ignored how hot it was and began wolfing it down with loud smacks.

Although the fish had no seasoning at all, to the starving Naruto, it was like sweet rain from heaven—the finest delicacy in the world!

After a whirlwind feast, poor Fish Bro was left with nothing but rows of fish bones!
