"Uchiha Ci, the Patriarch has ordered all clan ninja to the Security Department hall."

"I know, I'll be right there."

Uchiha Ci nodded, his expression calm, as he replied and pulled an empty soda can out of the river.

The Uchiha Chunin delivering the message gave him a surprised look. Before disappearing, he whispered a reminder:

"Kid, the Third Kazekage is missing, and the border is getting more tense. A ninja war is about to break out."

"You're just a Genin right now, don't push yourself. Don't take on missions you shouldn't!"

Then, the Chunin frowned and glanced at what Uchiha Ci was doing, speechless.

"As an Uchiha, you should be cultivating properly, improving your strength, not wasting your time on these trash missions."

With that, Whoosh--

After the Chunin left, Uchiha Ci's eyes immediately showed an irrepressible joy. He threw away the fork he was using to clean trash from the river and leaped onto the bank with a flip.

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

"Damn it, is the ninja war finally about to break out?"

Uchiha Ci was excited.

"Finally, I can leave the village and go die! This past year has been killing me!"

"Picking up trash, catching cats, looking after children, clearing river channels."

"How am I supposed to die with these useless missions?"

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

"I can finally go home!"

It was clear 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 chosen by the Heavenly Dao Will from one in ten thousand!

What is a Heavenly Strong Man?

Simply put:

He would be randomly assigned a talent, and then sent to various chaotic worlds. Relying on his personal ability and effort, he would rewrite tragedies that were supposed to happen, promote social progress, and achieve a Happy End.

Upon completing this mission, Uchiha Ci would receive a huge bonus and return to his original world.

Conversely, if he failed, or acted maliciously and went against the natural order, he would be judged and erased by the Heavenly Dao at the end of his story.

Of course, as a righteous Heavenly Dao, it would provide insurance for Uchiha Ci.

During his journey to save the common people as a Heavenly Strong Man, if he were to die unexpectedly, he would receive compensation.

Returning to his original world with a generous insurance payout (500 million yuan).

This standard could not be lower than the original history, and malicious suicide would not be compensated.

Uchiha Ci had been waiting for this moment.

The original body had lost his parents at a young age and was often bullied by clan members due to his mediocre talent. To this day, he was still only a Genin.

He had never even heard of such a person in the Naruto world. He guessed he either died in the Third Shinobi World War, or during the Kurama's attack or the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall.

He was essentially cannon fodder.

And what was the fate of cannon fodder?

Uchiha Ci answered without hesitation—

The battlefield!

As long as he got on the battlefield and was stabbed to death by someone.

Even if the Heavenly Dao Insurance Company was strict, they would have to pay the premium, albeit grudgingly!

Coincidentally, this was the eve of the Third Shinobi World War.

Suna, having lost the Third Kazekage, was about to officially declare war on Konoha, pushing the front lines further.

From this point, various factions would clash in the future.

The Battle of Green Reef Rock Mist!

The Unraikyo invasion operation!

Fighting ten thousand with one, the Battle of Third Raikage's Finale!

The Land of Rain, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Dragon Soul harvesting!

The Battle of Kannabi Bridge!

The Battle of Kikyoumori!

Those legendary ninja!

The most tragic war to date!

All the whispers of secret plots, the greedy lines drawn on maps!

Will all erupt and converge in this period of time!

Uchiha Ci pondered, with so many classic battles, he could dive into any one of them and truly understand everything as the weakling he was!

He'd be cannon fodder, just not die too quickly!

Even if, by some stroke of luck, he survived these wars and lived to the end, Uchiha Ci could still maintain a cheerful, ordinary mindset.

After all, there were still the Nine-Tails Night and the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall to come!

Of course, Uchiha Ci hadn't ruled out the idea of being a Heavenly Strong Man and rewriting history, He did have quite a few regrets in the Naruto world.

But, after assessing the situation, he realized

with his abilities, wanting to use his one life to achieve an even more perfect ending than Naruto's was basically a pipe dream.

Naruto had the talent cheat, his dad's cheat, his ancestor's cheat, Bietianzui's cheat, and a whole series of other cheats, yet he almost failed against the top powers of the Naruto world.

And he, was just a weakling who couldn't even awaken his Sharingan.

Looking up, he couldn't trace his bloodline to obtain Indra's Power or Six Paths Power for genetic mutation;

Looking down, with his knowledge level, he couldn't research Gundams and become a god through technology.

What could he possibly fight with?

It would be fine if he had a cheat that gave him Mangekyo at the start, but Heavenly Dao, as a legitimate company, had insufficient cheat power. Up until now, the talents he'd rolled hadn't even materialized.

Besides being cannon fodder, he couldn't think of any other way his mortal body could make a comeback against the odds.

Therefore, when Uchiha Ci learned he could legitimately claim insurance and utilize it, his thinking did a 180-degree turn.

I mean, Five Hundred Million, isn't that appealing?

As for saving the world, Let's just say, He'd trust Naruto!

As for him, Uchiha Ci, on the eve of this turbulent ninja war--

He'd find a place and deliver himself first! He'd give his all until death!

Look at this resolve, Hiruzen Sarutobi would weep tears of joy!

He'd even have to burn paper for me at the Memorial Stone!

"Summoning the clan members at this critical juncture must be for a war mobilization meeting. There aren't many dangerous missions, they can't snatch them from me!"

"I have to hurry!"

"This wave, I'm sacrificing my head and spilling my blood for Konoha!"

"Totally worth charging in!"

Uchiha Ci's gaze sharpened, no longer confused. He took off his rain boots, meant for wading, and sprinted towards the Security Department!

He didn't even bother with the sacks and pitchforks on the shore.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Shisui, who was passing by, leaping across the eaves towards the Security Department.

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

He couldn't help but freeze for a long time, almost missing a step and falling from the rooftop.

Immediately, his eyes lit up:

"There's someone in the Uchiha Clan who shares my thoughts?"

Uchiha Shisui sized up Uchiha Ci, who was sprinting with all his might towards the sunset, and stroked his chin.

"But... the mission the Patriarch is about to assign is too dangerous."

"No, I can't let such a young and determined comrade die!"

With that, Uchiha Shisui's gaze became resolute.

As a young man who loved his village, he deeply understood Uchiha Ci's heartfelt desire to serve the village.

Under the influence of such emotions, it was easy to act impulsively and choose a mission that no one else dared to look at twice, just to prove oneself.

So many good men had lost their lives for such foolish reasons.

It was truly a pity.

And Shisui Uchiha, He absolutely would not let such a tragedy happen before his eyes!

Especially—

The two missions that were about to be mobilized, which could almost be described as suicidal!
