"Uchiha Ci, the Patriarch has ordered all clan shinobi to gather in the Security Department hall."

"Got it. I'll be there right away."

Uchiha Ci nodded calmly as he answered, fishing an empty soda can out of the river.

The Uchiha Chunin delivering the message gave him a surprised look, then quietly reminded him before using the Body Flicker Technique:

"Kid, the Third Kazekage has vanished. The borders are getting more and more tense, and the Ninja World War is about to break out."

"You're only a Genin right now. Don't show off and take missions you shouldn't!"

Then, the Chunin frowned and glanced at what Uchiha Ci was doing, saying speechlessly:

"As an Uchiha, what you should be doing now is training properly and improving your strength, not wasting all your time on this kind of trash mission."

With that said,

Whoosh—

After the Chunin left,

An uncontrollable flash of delight immediately appeared in Uchiha Ci's eyes. He tossed aside the fork he had been using to clear trash from the river, stepped on the water, and flipped onto the bank.

He casually tossed the soda can into a sack on the riverbank.

"Holy shit, the Ninja World War is finally about to break out?"

Uchiha Ci looked thrilled.

"I can finally leave the village and get myself killed! This past year has worried me sick!"

"Picking up trash, catching cats, babysitting, dredging rivers."

"How am I supposed to die doing those damn missions?"

Uchiha Ci let out a long breath, his hands trembling with excitement.

"I can finally go home!"

It was not hard to see that the current Uchiha Ci was no longer the Uchiha Ci from the original Shinobi World History.

He was a transmigrator.

However, he was no ordinary transmigrator.

He was a Heavenly Strong Man selected from among millions by the Heavenly Dao Will!

What was a Heavenly Strong Man?

Simply put:

He would be randomly assigned a talent,

Then sent into all kinds of Chaotic Worlds, where he would rely on his own abilities and efforts to rewrite tragedies that were supposed to happen, push society forward, and achieve a happy ending.

Once he completed this mission, Uchiha Ci could receive an enormous bonus and return to the Original World.

Otherwise, if he failed or acted inhumanely and turned society backward, he would be judged and erased by the Heavenly Dao when the ending arrived.

Of course, as the legitimate Heavenly Dao, it would take out insurance for Uchiha Ci.

If he met with an accident and died before completing his mission of saving the people as a Heavenly Strong Man, he could receive compensation.

He would return to the Original World with a generous insurance payout—500 million yuan.

The standard was that he could not perform worse than the original history, and malicious suicide would not qualify for compensation.

Uchiha Ci had been waiting for this moment all along.

The original owner of this body had lost his parents young and was often bullied by his clansmen because of his mediocre talent. Even now, he was only a Genin.

There had never been such a person in Naruto. He had probably either died in the Third Shinobi World War, the Night of Kurama, or the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall.

In other words, he was cannon fodder.

And what was the destiny of cannon fodder?

Uchiha Ci arrived at the answer without hesitation—

The battlefield!

As long as he got onto the battlefield and got stabbed to death,

No matter how stingy the Heavenly Dao Insurance Company was, it would have to hold its nose and pay out!

And it just so happened to be the eve of the Third Shinobi World War.

Suna, having lost the Third Kazekage, would soon officially declare war on Konoha and further expand the front lines.

Using that as the starting point, the future would bring a chaotic war between all sides.

The Battle of Green Reef Rock Mist!

The Unraikyo Invasion Operation!

The Battle of Third Raikage's Finale, one against ten thousand!

The Land of Rain, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Dragon Soul mowing down enemies!

The Battle of Kannabi Bridge!

The Battle of Kikyoumori!

Those legendary shinobi!

The most brutal war to date!

Every whispered conspiracy in the dark, every greedy line crisscrossing maps!

Would all erupt during this period!

Uchiha Ci figured that with so many classic battles, if he casually slipped into any one of them, this weakling would die nice and clean!

Being cannon fodder meant dying fast!

Even if he somehow got absurdly lucky and survived all those wars, Uchiha Ci could still happily keep a calm heart.

After all, the Night of Kurama and the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall were still waiting!

Of course, it was not as though Uchiha Ci had never considered truly becoming a Heavenly Strong Man and rewriting history.

After all, there were plenty of regrets in Naruto.

But after carefully assessing the situation, he realized

That with his abilities, using one life to create an ending even more perfect than Crown Prince Naruto's was basically a pipe dream.

The Crown Prince had talent cheats, cheats from his father, cheats from his ancestors, Bietianzui cheats, and all kinds of other advantages, yet he had still nearly failed against the top powers of the Naruto world.

Meanwhile, he was just a weakling who could not even awaken the Sharingan.

Upward, he could not trace his bloodline back and obtain Indra's power or Six Paths Power for genetic mutation.

Downward, his level of knowledge was not enough for him to independently build a Gundam and become a god through technology.

What was he supposed to fight with?

It would be fine if he had some cheat that gave him a Mangekyo at the start, but the Heavenly Dao was a legitimate company, and its cheats were woefully underpowered. To this day, the talent he had rolled had not even arrived.

Other than becoming cannon fodder, he could not think of any way for his mortal body to turn the tables against the odds.

So, after learning that he could legally scam the insurance company and make use of insurance, Uchiha Ci's mindset took a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

I mean, five hundred million yuan—wasn't that nice?

As for saving the world,

Well,

Let's believe in the Crown Prince!

As for Uchiha Ci, on the eve of this Turbulent and Treacherous ninja war—

He would first find a place to die. He would devote himself until death!

Look at that level of dedication. Hiruzen Sarutobi would cry tears of gratitude if he heard it!

He would even have to burn paper offerings for him before the Memorial Stone!

"Gathering the clansmen at a time like this has to be a war mobilization meeting. There aren't many dangerous missions to begin with—I can't let them snatch them from me!"

"I need to get there now!"

"This time, I'm giving my life and blood for Konoha!"

"I can absolutely charge in!"

Uchiha Ci's gaze hardened. No longer muddled, he kicked off his rain boots and sprinted toward the Security Department!

He did not even bother with the sack and fork on the shore.

Nearby,

Shisui Uchiha happened to be passing through the area, leaping across rooftops on his way to the Security Department.

He happened to hear Uchiha Ci's words from below.

He froze for a long while, nearly stepping into empty air and falling from the roof.

Then, his eyes lit up.

"So there's actually someone in the Uchiha Clan who shares the same thoughts as me?"

Shisui Uchiha studied Uchiha Ci, who was running wildly toward the setting sun, and stroked his chin.

"But the mission the Patriarch is about to announce is far too dangerous."

"No, I can't let such a young and resolute companion go to his death!"

With that, Shisui Uchiha's expression hardened.

As a good young man who loved the village, he understood Uchiha Ci's wholehearted devotion to it very well.

Driven by such emotions, it was easy to get carried away and choose missions that others would not even dare look at twice, all to prove oneself.

How many fine young men had thrown away their lives for such foolish reasons?

It was truly a pity.

And Shisui Uchiha,

Would never allow such a tragedy to happen before his eyes!

Especially—

Those two missions that would soon be mobilized for, missions that could practically be called certain death!

New book, please support it, follow along, give it everything! This one addressed the problems from before. I reflected deeply, prepared a complete outline and carefully arranged the satisfying moments, so please feel free to jump in!

Lost would do his best to show everyone a different shinobi world, entering from the Ninja World War through the protagonist's perspective and moving into the struggles between Minor Nations, Minor Organizations, and major powers: Kekkei Tōta, the fusion of the Blood Dragon Eye and Sharingan, the Evil God Cult's immortal body, the Hozuki clan's Hydrification, Mangekyo awakenings inspired by Kozuniji mythology, explosive plot twists, and forbidden power that lets a mortal body profane the Deity.

Also, feel free to join the group and pet the author's dog head: 791982259.

That's all. Grin.jpg, thanks.
