As a Ninja, I Only Want to Live off Women in Type-Moon. Author: Wu Yun
"Synopsis: On his first transmigration to the Naruto world, he became an orphan of the shinobi world. With no bloodline and no cheats, Higashino Kanade became a Konoha Jonin through his own efforts, only to meet a miserable end in battle against Uchiha Madara.
On his second transmigration, to the Type-Moon world, Higashino Kanade realized something from his past life's experience—hard work could not beat having a powerful father, and having a powerful father could not beat having cheats.
In the perilous Type-Moon world, Higashino Kanade decided to stop working so hard. He would latch onto a rich woman—the heroine—and live a comfortable life of being supported by her every day. Yet just then, his cheat activated!
"Ding—after twenty years, the Strongest Hokage Cultivation System has activated!""
1. A Transmigrator Slain by Madara-sama
Early 1996, Japan, Kan'mu City.
The sky was a gloomy black, and an indescribable aura of death permeated the relatively prosperous concrete jungle.
Ever since the bubble economy burst, Japan's economy had stagnated for years. The pedestrians flowing through the streets wore nothing but gloomy, numb expressions, as if they had long since given up hope for the future.
Yet among those numb pedestrians was a red figure, standing alone like an elf amid a vast snowy field. She was utterly out of place among the passersby, like a streak of red paint on a pure gray canvas, impossible to ignore.
Inside a private hospital close to that red figure, a child was observing her through the window.
The child had long black hair draped over his shoulders. His features were exquisite, like a work of art. His still-youthful face was adorable without losing its handsomeness, and his amber-brown eyes were pure and flawless. There was no doubt that he was a beautiful boy.
Yet something about the child seemed out of place. Though he was only around twelve years old, his gaze carried a weathered, lazy air, like a monk who had seen through the mortal world. He possessed none of the liveliness a child his age should have had.
"Ryougi Shiki, the young lady of Kan'mu City's wealthy Ryougi Family and the future head of the family. Her family operates on both sides of the law and owns countless businesses."
"Ryougi Shiki herself is a top-tier beauty with a tolerable personality. On top of that, she is connected to the Root. Even if Human Order Incineration really happens in the future, I should be able to survive safely by following her."
"Family background: seven points. Wife potential: seven points. Potential: ten points. Average score: eight points. She is a good choice for me to marry into her family."
The child nodded and spoke words no one his age should have spoken.
A twelve-year-old boy who did not spend his days thinking about studying or playing, but instead thought about how to become a live-in son-in-law—this was absolutely not normal behavior!
Naturally, the child who could say such things was not normal. His name was Higashino Kanade. Counting his life before last and his previous life, he was nearly fifty years old. He was truly an old monster wearing the skin of a child.
Higashino Kanade no longer remembered much about his former life. He vaguely recalled that before transmigrating, he had merely been an office worker in his twenties. After working overtime for an entire month, he collapsed unconscious at his post. When he awoke, he had transmigrated into the famous world of Naruto and become an orphan.
According to the usual formula of power-fantasy novels, Higashino Kanade should have received a cheat upon transmigrating. Within a few short years, he would punch Uchiha Madara, kick Kaguya Otsutsuki, marry countless beautiful girls, become the Xth Hokage, and reach the pinnacle of life.
But it was as though heaven had forgotten Higashino Kanade, the transmigrator. Not only had it not given him a system or Golden Finger, he was not an Uchiha or Senju either. He was simply an ordinary commoner.
He had neither cheats nor bloodline, only the pride inherent to a transmigrator. Higashino Kanade refused to fade into obscurity. Didn't Might Guy have neither cheats nor bloodline, yet nearly kicked the story into its ending with one kick?
If talent was lacking, he would make up for it with hard work!
Higashino Kanade was three years older than Naruto Uzumaki. His parents had both been Chunin and died during the Nine-Tails' Rampage.
Thanks to his status as the child of martyrs, Higashino Kanade easily entered the Ninja Academy and even received a monthly allowance. He had planned to graduate from the academy through hard work within a year and become a celebrity like Kakashi, but reality soon slapped him hard across the face.
Higashino Kanade's talent was quite ordinary. Not only was his Chakra volume low, but it took him several months just to learn the most basic Three Body Technique. He simply could not compare to the Konoha Twelve of his class.
Higashino Kanade refused to accept that. He trained diligently every day. To increase his strength, he even bribed one of the Three Sannin, Jiraiya, with H magazines to make him accept him as a disciple. He had also deliberately lost money to another of the Three Sannin, Tsunade, to please her and have her teach him Medical Ninjutsu and forbidden techniques.
But reality proved that ordinary people could not compare to geniuses. Even after putting in ten times the effort of normal people, Higashino Kanade had only learned the Rasengan and Summoning Jutsu. He could not learn Sage Mode at all. Even with Tsunade personally teaching him, he had only grasped basic Medical Ninjutsu. Any deeper, and he was completely lost.
Higashino Kanade worked hard for more than ten years, only becoming an ordinary Jonin at the age of twenty. If nothing changed in the rest of his life, his peak would be no more than that of an elite Jonin, equivalent to Kakashi during the Land of Waves arc—perhaps even a little weaker.
However, it was as though the Sage of Six Paths had noticed Higashino Kanade, this "world invader." During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Higashino Kanade's unit had the misfortune of encountering Uchiha Madara, who had been summoned through Impure World Reincarnation.
After Madara-sama grabbed him by the throat and asked, "Do you want to dance too?" Higashino Kanade's neck was snapped, and he was tossed aside like garbage.
When Higashino Kanade woke again, he had reincarnated as an eleven- or twelve-year-old boy lying in a hospital ward.
After absorbing the dead boy's memories, Higashino Kanade quickly learned that he had transmigrated to another new world. Kan'mu City and Fuyuki City from the boy's memories overlapped with his own memories, making him realize that he seemed to have landed in yet another extraordinary world.
"Heroic Spirits, Dead Apostles, the Holy Grail War, Human Order Incineration... Why are there so many problems? Is my wish to simply stay alive really that hard to fulfill?"
Higashino Kanade sighed, withdrew his gaze, and lay on the bed like an old man who had utterly overexerted himself, his face full of exhaustion and resentment.
Perhaps because he had tried too hard in his previous life, this life's Higashino Kanade was in an indescribably exhausted state of mind. His eyes no longer burned with passion like Naruto's. Instead, he was becoming more and more like Shikamaru.
At the door to the private ward, several nurses secretly watching Higashino Kanade nearly cried out at the sight.
His adorable, handsome features, his slightly thin body with its pleasing lines, and those weathered, melancholy eyes completely set the nurses' fangirl hearts ablaze.
"He's so cute, such a melancholy child. I really want to take him home and bathe with him."
"You're lusting after his body, you shameless slut!"
"Like you're any better! You've been secretly staring at him all day. Don't think I didn't see you sneak a kiss when you changed his medicine!"
"I'm different! I only see him as a younger brother. All I want is to take him home and sleep with him. Isn't it perfectly normal for siblings to sleep together?"
"Normal my ass! You're already twenty-eight. Wake up, old woman!"
Higashino Kanade turned toward the door. Through the slightly opened gap, he could vaguely see the silhouettes of two women fighting.
Calmly, Higashino Kanade picked up a mirror from the table beside him and examined himself. "I looked utterly ordinary in my previous life, but this time I have a handsome face. Is this some belated benefit?"
Higashino Kanade set down the mirror and continued watching the women outside fight out of jealousy over him. An indescribable sense of satisfaction filled his heart.
Was this what Sasuke had to deal with every day?
Sure enough, the life of a beautiful boy was so simple, unadorned, and dull.
Don't love me. I only wanted to quietly be a handsome man.

2. Sacrificed Parents, Boundless Power?
"Stop fighting! This is a hospital. What kind of behavior is it for you two nurses to start fighting!"
An older nurse stopped the two women who were fighting and said sympathetically, "If you really want to take that boy home, you can apply to the government for adoption. That boy's parents were both killed by the Murderer. I heard he has no relatives either. Poor child!"
Upon hearing that, fear and sympathy appeared on both nurses' faces.
Recently, a Murderer had appeared in Kan'mu City. The number of victims had already reached six, yet the police had made no progress.
They said the boy's parents had been killed while out shopping at night. After hearing that his parents had died, the boy had fainted from fright, which was why he had been sent to this hospital.
"That's true. Losing his family at such a young age is heartbreaking. When I get home today, I'll discuss it with my lover and see whether we can adopt him."
"Me too. That child is so cute, my boyfriend definitely won't refuse."
Sad voices came from outside the door. Higashino Kanade remained silent as he recalled the memories he had only recently absorbed.
As it happened, the original owner of this body had also been named Higashino Kanade. His family was considered middle class even in developed Japan. His father was a mid-level manager at a listed company, and his mother was a housewife. The Higashino Family had no relatives, and the family of three had lived happily together.
But two days ago, the Higashino couple encountered the Murderer who had recently emerged in Kan'mu City while they were out walking at night. Neither survived. Both were killed in an extremely brutal manner. Higashino Kanade, who had stayed home reading that night, escaped disaster.
The next day, when the police informed Higashino Kanade of his parents' deaths, he died directly from excessive grief and shock. That allowed the reincarnated Higashino Kanade to pick up a bargain.
"The Type-Moon world truly is a place that produces Murderers in abundance. Though I've forgotten who the killer is, I will avenge them. I suppose that will repay this body's kindness."
After spending twenty years in the Naruto world, Higashino Kanade had forgotten many things. Even regarding the famous Type-Moon world, he only remembered a few key terms. He had long forgotten most of the plot and unimportant characters.
However, forgetting those memories would not prevent Higashino Kanade from finding the murderer. In his previous life, he had been a genuine Jonin. With the various methods available to a ninja, tracking down a Murderer would not be difficult.
"Still, my parents in my previous life died during the Nine-Tails' Rampage when I was three, and this life's parents died before I reincarnated. Does that make me someone fated to be alone, the natural bane of parents?"
Higashino Kanade felt speechless. Why was he like a protagonist from some orphanage novel, with his parents sacrificed the moment he transmigrated?
But didn't they say that sacrificing one's parents granted boundless power? Every orphan born was supposed to come with a Golden Finger. Where was his cheat? Why had his cheat not appeared?
"Sure enough, I'm not the protagonist."
Higashino Kanade sighed deeply and accepted his fate.
He could not possibly be the protagonist. What protagonist got casually crushed to death by Uchiha Madara? A supporting character should recognize his place and stop thinking so much.
Knock, knock, knock—
Accompanied by a series of knocks, a young man with somewhat messy hair entered.
"I heard you woke up this morning, so I hurried over. You've seen me before, right? My name is Akimichi Daisuke. I'm the police officer handling your parents' case."
Akimichi Daisuke brought over a chair and sat beside Higashino Kanade's bed. He looked at him with a complicated expression, carrying both guilt and pity.
Higashino Kanade recognized him. In the previous owner's memories, he had been among the police officers who informed him of his parents' deaths.
"Officer Akimichi, hello."
Higashino Kanade put on a frightened, sorrowful expression. His body trembled slightly, displaying the grief of a victim left alone and helpless.
Seeing the suffering boy before him, Akimichi Daisuke's heart clenched painfully. If we police had caught the killer sooner, he wouldn't have lost his parents.
Higashino Kanade caught the change in Akimichi Daisuke's expression and inwardly sighed in relief.
Acting was a required skill for a ninja. When carrying out missions, ninjas often needed acting skills, and Higashino Kanade was no exception.
He used a child's natural vulnerability to win an adult's sympathy and lower the adult's guard.
The first reason Higashino Kanade pretended was to make himself look more "normal," like an ordinary child. The second was to use grief to distract Akimichi Daisuke and make him less attentive to the "changes" in the boy before him.
After all, Higashino Kanade was not the original Higashino Kanade. Though he had absorbed the memories, the things he inadvertently revealed could easily make those around him notice something abnormal.
As a police officer, Akimichi Daisuke's perception was naturally sharper than that of ordinary people. If he noticed that Higashino Kanade had changed considerably from before, it would inevitably bring trouble.
Although Higashino Kanade could use his parents' deaths changing his personality drastically as an excuse to muddle through it, as a ninja, he had become habitually cautious.
"How are you feeling? Is your body all right? I know something like this has been a huge blow to you, but I still hope you can pull through. People always have to look forward."
Akimichi Daisuke comforted the boy skillfully. It was clear that he had comforted quite a few people recently.
Higashino Kanade nodded and forced out a difficult smile. "Thank you, Officer. I'm much better now. At first, I really couldn't accept it. Mom and Dad were fine. Why were they murdered just because they went out? But I've figured it out. I can't keep being sad forever. Like you said, Officer, people always have to look forward. If Mom and Dad were still alive, they definitely wouldn't want me to be this sad."
"I want to live well, for their sake too."
As Higashino Kanade spoke, tears streamed down his face. He wiped them away, his eyes revealing a trace of strength.
What a good child!
Akimichi Daisuke was moved. He had seen many victims who had lost relatives, but it was his first time seeing someone as sensible, strong, and handsome as Higashino Kanade.
He must have experienced a great deal of pain to possess such awareness!
You damned Murderer! I will definitely bring you to justice!
Akimichi Daisuke wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. The way he looked at Higashino Kanade was full of paternal affection.
Seeing Akimichi Daisuke conquered by his acting, Higashino Kanade felt that his years as a ninja had not been wasted. I nearly moved myself. The world owes me an Oscar!
"The police helped inventory the inheritance your parents left behind. Aside from a house and a car, their various assets amount to seventy-five million yen in cash after taxes. Your family has no relatives, so as the first-priority heir, you can inherit all of it."
Seventy-five million yen was equivalent to five million RMB.
His parents had truly left him a considerable fortune!
Higashino Kanade felt somewhat emotional. Although prices in Japan were high, seventy-five million yen would be enough to see him through university and let him coast for a while afterward.
But using that money to coast through life forever was obviously impossible.

3. Adoption? Not Happening.
"There's an important matter I want to discuss with you. You're only twelve years old and don't have the ability to live independently. Without a guardian, things will be difficult for you in the days ahead. I would like to ask for your opinion."
Akimichi Daisuke took a photograph from his pocket and handed it over. Higashino Kanade accepted it and saw a very happy family of four in the picture: a married couple and a brother and sister.
Higashino Kanade's heart tightened. He felt that the siblings in the photo looked familiar, but he simply could not recall their names.
"The government will find a new family for children like you who have unexpectedly lost both parents. This is also my own initiative. What do you think of this family?"
Akimichi Daisuke blushed slightly. Higashino Kanade was so good-looking and sensible, and he had inherited a considerable fortune as well. He was practically the perfect choice for a son.
With the principle of keeping benefits within the family, Akimichi Daisuke decided to introduce him to his brother's family.
Before coming here, he had already discussed it with his brother's family. They said the inheritance did not matter. The main thing was that the child was adorable, and they would be more than happy to have another son—literally.
