The Nine-Tails' Rebellion-The Beginning

"Run! The Fox Demon has gone berserk!"

"Everyone, don't run around! Follow us and retreat to the shelter in an orderly fashion!"

"Third Squad, Fifth Squad, organize the civilians and get them to safety. Everyone else, follow me to support the Fourth Hokage and stop the Fox Demon's rampage!"

Amid the chaos, Narak slowly opened his eyes.

"What's going on? It's so noisy. Can't a person get some proper sleep?"

Looking drowsy, Narak reached out and rubbed his bleary eyes.

Suddenly, Narak, who had still been somewhat groggy, jolted awake!

Wait... what's going on? Why have my hands become so small?

Narak stared at his hands in shock. They were small and slightly chubby. These... these were obviously a child's hands.

Narak raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. The distinctly Japanese-style architecture left him even more bewildered. What's going on? Is this... the Land of the Sun? Wasn't I sleeping at home? How did I wake up in the Land of the Sun?

"Narak, so you were here."

Just then, a young couple ran toward Narak. The woman was heavily pregnant. When she reached him, she pulled him into her arms.

"You child, how could you run around at a time like this? You scared your mother half to death. Come on, follow Mommy to the shelter and hide."

The other young man said to the two of them, who were embracing, "The Nine-Tails is rampaging, and the village is too dangerous. Hurry and hide with the clan members. I'm going to lead the others to support the Fourth Hokage."

Narak looked at everything before him and listened to them talk about the Hokage and the Nine-Tails. In particular, the two people standing before him had a pair of strange white eyes. His already bewildered mind became even more confused.

What... what's going on? Could it be that I've transmigrated?

Before he could think it through, the bewildered Narak was picked up by the woman. After meeting up with the others, they ran toward the shelter they had mentioned.

Held in the woman's arms, Narak looked at everything around him: the panicked civilians, the buildings burning in all directions, the enormous Nine-Tailed Fox in the distance, and the ninja leaping across the rooftops, vanishing after just a few bounds. He finally confirmed that he had transmigrated—and that he had arrived in the world of Naruto!

After confirming his current situation, Narak suddenly felt dizzy. He instinctively raised both hands and clutched his head.

Mm... is this the original body's memory? My name is Hyuga Naraku, and I'm the eldest son of the current Hyuga Clan head, Hyuga Hiashi?

The memories were simple, with little of use. After all, he was only a two-year-old child, so Narak quickly absorbed them all.

Good grief, I'm Hyuga Hiashi's eldest son? I don't remember there being such a person in the original story. If that's the case, then the baby in her womb must be...

Narak lowered his head and looked at the young woman's heavily protruding belly. The Nine-Tails' rampage had occurred after Naruto's birth, while Hinata had been born in the same year as Naruto. That meant the child in the womb was his younger sister—the future princess consort, Hinata. Wouldn't that mean the protagonist Naruto would become his future brother-in-law?

While Narak was lost in thought, he was carried along with the villagers into a massive cave inside a mountain. Quite a few villagers had already gathered there. It seemed this was the so-called shelter.

After entering the shelter, Narak continued to wear a contemplative expression.

"Hmm... Although I don't know why I inexplicably transmigrated into the world of Naruto, since I'm here, I should think about what to do in the future."

As everyone knew, the world of Naruto was one where bloodlines mattered. No matter how hard ordinary people worked, they would ultimately be nothing more than cannon fodder. Perhaps they could hold their own during the early stages, but once the gods and demons began appearing in the later stages, even the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages could only be beaten down by Madara alone after the five of them joined forces.

Not to mention the Six Paths-level powerhouses and those freaks from the Otsutsuki Clan.

Narak felt a headache coming on. This world was dangerous...

Although the Hyuga Clan were descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, and could be considered the royal family of the Naruto world by bloodline, throughout the entire Naruto series, aside from the two members of the Konoha 12, the rest of the Hyuga Clan were little more than background characters.

The Uchiha Clan, on the other hand, was filled with outstanding talents. From Madara at the beginning to Kagami, Shisui, and Itachi later on, their Sharingan abilities allowed them to stir up storms throughout the entire shinobi world.

Although the Byakugan was also one of the Three Great Dojutsu, when the two were compared, the Hyuga Clan, who were likewise descendants of Otsutsuki Kaguya, seemed to be the biological child on one side and an adopted child picked up from the roadside on the other.

"What kind of situation is this? Since you let me transmigrate, why didn't you give me a more powerful bloodline? The Byakugan is... ultimately a little underwhelming." Narak complained inwardly.

"Ding! The host has been detected to have successfully transmigrated to another world..."

"Checking the host's physical condition..."

"The host's soul has successfully fused with the body from another world."

"Sign-in System binding in progress..."

"Ding... System binding successful. System holder: Hyuga Naraku."

o((⊙﹏⊙))o...

Narak had finally managed to emerge from his bewildered state after accepting that he had transmigrated into the world of Naruto. But after hearing this string of notifications, he became bewildered all over again...

But immediately afterward, he became excited!

Is this... a system? Holy crap, my golden finger has arrived? Hahaha, I knew it! Since I was allowed to transmigrate to another world, how could I not be given something powerful?

Narak's emotions shifted from bewilderment to excitement. A golden finger! This is an essential skill for every transmigrator! Having a golden finger means I can become stronger! (*^▽^*)!

"System, are you there?"

"System Dad, I'm your adorable host. If you're there, could you answer me?"

"Uh, no response... Could the system be female? Then... System Mom? Are you home? Your baby misses you."

Narak kept calling out to the system in his mind, but after the initial notifications, the system fell silent.

"What's going on? Why isn't the system responding? Did I use the wrong method? No, that can't be right. I read so many transmigration novels before I transmigrated, and they all greeted their systems this way. It couldn't possibly be wrong... Could it be... could it be that the system has already abandoned me? No! This baby is all alone in another world and is so scared... (灬ꈍ ꈍ灬)"

"Ding. Host, I advise you to show some shame. This system knows your background. You're a single old shut-in who's almost thirty, yet you still call yourself a baby? Aren't you embarrassed?"

"Oh, System, you were there after all! You scared me to death. I thought you didn't want me anymore." Seeing that the system was still there, Narak finally relaxed. As for the system's comment about him being an old shut-in nearing thirty, Narak selectively ignored it. Hmph, who isn't a baby? So what if I'm nearly thirty? I'm still a baby who's over three hundred months old!

"System, hurry up and tell me what abilities you have."

"Ding. This system is a Sign-in System. By signing in once every day, the host can obtain different abilities and items, helping a loser like you become the overlord of the myriad worlds. The more significant the event at which you sign in, the better the rewards. It has been detected that the Naruto world is currently experiencing the Nine-Tails' Rebellion, which qualifies as a major event. Host, would you like to sign in?"
