Xu Yue awoke in a frozen campsite and realized he had entered a Reincarnation Space mission set in the Naruto world. After listening to a guide explain the newbie mission and its risks, Xu Yue planned to use his knowledge of Naruto to pursue First Hokage's Cells and the Sharingan, leaving the group preparing to choose a ninja village.

• Xu Yue woke at a motionless merchant caravan campsite and recognized the mission world as Naruto after spotting ninjas and forehead protectors.
• A burly guide explained the Reincarnation Space, while Xiong Tao offered to pay him five hundred Reincarnation Points for insider information and persuaded the newcomers to agree.

• The caravan reached Konoha, where the newcomers transformed into children and received the trial mission instructions.
• Xu Yue learned the trial would last three months and resolved to take risks to achieve his goal.

Xu Yue rejected the Ninja Academy and used his newcomer plausibility state to attract Orochimaru, offering medical knowledge in exchange for power.

• Xu Yue claimed that his father had special insights into organ transplants and methods to prevent rejection, hoping to secure Orochimaru’s support.

Xu Yue gained Orochimaru’s trust and became his disciple, then helped him research the First Hokage’s Cells. After testing the results on himself, Xu Yue woke with a single-tomoe Sharingan and a beginner Sage Body, leaving him with exceptional potential and little time to seek further instruction before his mission ended.

• After a month of assisting Orochimaru with experiments, Xu Yue accepted Orochimaru’s offer to become his disciple and triggered the Forbidden Research mission.

• Xu Yue told Orochimaru he felt better than ever and resolved to seek as much guidance as possible before his mission ended.

After obtaining Orochimaru’s training scrolls, Xu Yue trained his chakra control and began practicing the Rasengan in Konoha. He met Might Guy by a river and invited him to train together, only to be enthusiastically welcomed as a companion in youth.

• Xu Yue reflected on the favorability he had spent to obtain Wood Style: Wood Clone and noted that Orochimaru would not teach him anything else until he earned more.

• Several of Xiong Tao's boys stopped Xu Yue on his way home and brought him to meet Xiong Tao, and Xu Yue agreed while pretending to be arrogant and overconfident.

Xu Yue joined Xiong Tao and a veteran Genin’s operation after negotiating a contract, then learned that their team planned to obtain the Hyuga Clan’s Byakugan. The chapter left the details of their ambitious plan unrevealed.

• Xu Yue recognized the stern man’s Konoha forehead protector and learned that Might Guy would become a Jonin.
• The stern Genin and Xiong Tao invited Xu Yue to cooperate, insisting that he sign a contract before hearing their objective.
• Xu Yue negotiated penalties for withdrawing or leaking their secret and added a clause promising compensation based on his contribution.
• After Xu Yue signed the contract, Xiong Tao and the veteran Genin revealed that their team planned to take the Byakugan from a Hyuga main-family member.

Xu Yue joined Xiong Tao's group as they tried to kill Hyuga Shota and steal his Byakugan, but he turned against them at the last moment. He stopped Li Kai's lethal attack and fired a Konoha warning flare, leaving the group exposed and the fight unresolved.

• Xu Yue decided to spend his resources to increase his strength and investigate the Public Auction House.

After spending most of his mission rewards on supplies and training cards, Xu Yue explored Huaxia Wu-03 District and learned how its street trade differed from the Public Auction House. He exposed Icarus as a newcomer broker and agreed to pay for specific, verifiable answers, leaving their conversation about to begin.

• Xu Yue bought ninja tools, scrolls, techniques, and training cards, then purchased two Scout Cards from the Merit Shop while saving Merit Points toward a Designated Mission Card.
• Xu Yue left his shelter and explored the crowded streets of Huaxia Wu-03 District, where he observed informal stalls selling standard and modified goods.

• Xu Yue offered Icarus 200 Reincarnation Points in exchange for answers to specific questions and confirmation that the information was true, making Icarus grow solemn.

• Xu Yue decided to prioritize profits in his next two missions and returned to the E-03 Zone Beginner Training Ground.

Xu Yue entered the Koutetsujou mission, weighing its dangers and limited rewards before awakening in an armored train among rookies on their first three missions. He began assessing his fellow participants as a third-mission woman woke nearby.

• Spy, Lone Wolf, and Blondie introduced themselves and discussed the dangers of the Kabane mission with Xu Yue.
• Xu Yue explained that the Mission Space was known as Kabane, prompting the three veterans to warn him about the difficulty of second missions and the risks of bad equipment and teammates.

• A newcomer explained that Kabane spread infection through bites, had heavily defended bodies, and could be killed by striking a vital point on their chests.

• The frozen Space began moving, and the Hayajiro's rumbling tracks and whistle marked the start of the mission.

Xu Yue watched tensions rise among the newcomers aboard the train, then chose to leave Lone Wolf’s group and pursue the mission alone. A samurai recruited the newcomers as reserve samurai and led them toward an abandoned station, where they would receive weapons.

• Lone Wolf told the newcomers to stay out of his group’s way, prompting others to argue that they should cooperate.
• A scarred, bare-chested newcomer attacked a Railway Guerrilla, broke his face, and stole his Hanyang 88 rifle, dismissing the future penalty for attacking an ally.
• Lone Wolf condemned the brute, while Xu Yue observed that the man was more cautious than his violent actions suggested.
• A samurai entered the carriage and ordered the newcomers, now assigned reserve samurai identities, to follow him and prepare for an encounter at an abandoned station.
• Xu Yue declined Lone Wolf’s surprised invitation to team up and left to pursue easier missions on his own.
