About to Die Again?

Gojo Yoru, age six, a transmigrator.

A sudden death had turned him from a twenty-five-year-old adult into a newborn infant.

Thanks to high school elective Japanese classes and a college gig with a fan translation group, Yoru learned the moment he was born what kind of world he had arrived in.

It wasn't some unfamiliar otherworld, but a two-dimensional realm where the entire universe spoke Japanese—and one of the Big Three Long-Running Manga at that: Naruto.

Realizing he had transmigrated into the Naruto world, and into a family with no Kekkei Genkai, Yoru felt like the sky had collapsed.

After all, the Big Three Long-Running Manga were also called the Big Three Bloodline Manga—every protagonist started with an ordinary beginning and ended as the world's favored son.

Over a thousand chapters of the Paramecia Rubber-Rubber Fruit suddenly turning into the Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan Model: Nika Fruit—could you believe that?

Before the Rubber-Rubber Fruit became the Nika Fruit, Naruto was the most heavily criticized bloodline manga.

This world was all about bloodline supremacy, a brutal world where the entire story revolved around the Otsutsuki clan's family feuds.

No matter how talented a ninja genius, the peak of the Five Kage—Second Tsuchikage Mu and Third Raikage A—was their limit.

Only by tying yourself to the Otsutsuki clan, or becoming a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and earning the full Nine-Tails' recognition, could you hope to reach Super Kage Level.

Being born a civilian with no Kekkei Genkai was already a doomed start, but at age three, when his father—an all-round Jonin—and his mother—a Special Jonin—along with their comrades, all died in a large-scale mission, Yoru's vision went dark.

His backing and connections were all gone!

Logically, starting as a lone star of calamity should have been the protagonist's treatment.

But from his parents' sacrifice to now, Yoru still hadn't discovered his golden finger.

If not for a sliver of hope for a comeback, Yoru would have considered ending it all to see if he could transmigrate again.

Opening a locked box, Yoru pulled out a red scroll small enough to hold in one hand from the bottom of a box full of scrolls.

He input chakra into the scroll's seal, and the seal character on it slowly faded away. Then he unrolled it to reveal a blank surface.

Yoru bit his thumb, smeared blood on the scroll's surface, formed hand seals, pressed his palm against it, and softly shouted, "Release!"

With a poof, white smoke filled the dim basement.

When the smoke cleared, the blood on the scroll's surface had vanished, replaced by several stacked diaries and a pen case.

As usual, Yoru sat cross-legged before the scroll, picked up the top diary, and opened it.

It was filled entirely with notes in pinyin and Cantonese—even if this world had Japanese, English, and Chinese characters, no one could decipher it unless they read the memories in Yoru's brain.

Yoru quickly flipped through the diaries, reinforcing his memory to avoid losing the transmigrator's greatest advantage.

Main Plot Outline, Key Characters' Personalities and Experiences, Complete Akatsuki Member Guide, Vague Chronicle, Speculation on the Year of Flashback Events...

After finishing each diary, Yoru picked up the last one, while his other hand took a pencil from the pen case.

He continued flipping through the notes, but this time his reading pace was very slow, his gaze deep—as if thinking, or organizing something.

The title on the first page of this diary was starkly written: On the Possibility of Defying Fate!

The content that followed was a "game guide" Yoru had tailored for himself, leveraging his transmigrator advantage of knowing the plot and understanding the original characters.

Shortcuts to Status and Resources!

<The Balance of Sharingan and Hashirama Cells Equals a Guaranteed Surviving Wood Style Test Subject!>

<Can Becoming a Jinchuriki and Shaping the Identity of the Child of Prophecy Earn the Nine Tailed Beasts' Favor?>

The Best Timing to Steal the Rinnegan!

Whenever inspiration struck, Yoru would refine or revise this guide, and today was no exception.

So as he flipped through, Yoru would occasionally erase the pinyin and text, rewriting new content.

On blank pages, he repeatedly wrote and erased new strategies.

After multiple revisions, once he couldn't think of anything better, Yoru closed the diary, put the pencil back in the pen case, and stored both in the Storage Scroll again.

Coming up from the basement, night had already fallen outside. The clock on the living room wall showed 7:52 PM.

Yoru didn't just grab a quick bite to fill his growling stomach; instead, he took some ingredients from the fridge and cooked himself a dinner that wasn't lavish but was nutritionally balanced.

After eating, he went out for a walk to avoid his reclusive personality drawing the village's attention.

His school persona of "cold and aloof" and "school bully" was already unsociable enough; going too far could easily backfire.

Returning from his walk, Yoru tidied up the house a bit, took a quick shower, and lay down in bed to sleep.

It was nearly nine o'clock.

Early to bed, early to rise, three full meals, balanced nutrition... Having experienced sudden death once, Yoru cherished his body in this life and knew how to take care of it.

This was also the main reason he was taller and had more stamina than Namikaze Minato.

The next morning at six, the alarm clock pulled Yoru out of his dreams.

Washing up and changing clothes, Yoru started his first morning run of the vacation, returning home drenched in sweat at eight.

Cooking, showering, reading... After finishing the routine, Yoru began refining chakra.

Gojo Yoru's physical fitness was top-tier among his peers. With both parents being Jonin, his talent could be called a minor prodigy—but far from those cheats who broke the system.

In terms of Chakra, he also far surpassed ordinary kids his age.

Add in the inheritance his parents left behind, and if he didn't die young, Gojo Yoru would definitely become an all-rounder Jonin in the future—but that was it.

To become an Elite Jonin or a Kage-level powerhouse, he needed to master at least one S-Rank secret technique.

And the Five Kage were nothing more than slightly bigger grunts in the eyes of Super Kage Level experts.

In the eyes of Six Paths Level beings, they were even lower lifeforms.

Gojo Yoru was absolutely not satisfied with that, so he had to defy fate and change his destiny.

But to defy fate, he needed the strength to seize and snatch those opportunities.

The bigger the goal, the greater Gojo Yoru's motivation right now.

The first semester's break was long—over a month.

For the next month, Gojo Yoru woke early and slept early every day. Mornings were for exercise, reading, and refining Chakra; afternoons for training in the basics of being a ninja; evenings spent in the basement organizing his guides. He was in bed by nine, as disciplined as a robot running a program.

During this time, Gojo Yoru even celebrated a birthday by himself.

In this life, he was born on August 18, Year 24 of Konoha.

That same day, Gojo Yoru turned six.

And that same day, a massive change occurred in Gojo Yoru's body.

"What... what's going on?!"

Still lying down before nine as usual, Gojo Yoru found himself unable to sleep tonight for some reason.

With plenty of blood and energy, and still growing, he should have fallen asleep easily.

But today, Gojo Yoru tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, his mind growing more and more excited.

After midnight, Gojo Yoru noticed his body temperature rising slightly, but it wasn't a fever.

His heart was racing, pounding like a drum.

That unfamiliar yet familiar feeling made Gojo Yoru's eyes widen as he muttered in disbelief: "Arrhythmia? How is that possible? I'm this young, and I sleep early and wake early every day—how could I have signs of sudden death?!"
