Being Cannon Fodder Is Such a Beautiful Thing!

"Uchiha Ci, the Clan Head has issued an order: all clan shinobi are to report to the Police Force hall."

"I understand, I'll be there immediately."

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

The Uchiha Chunin who delivered the order shot him a surprised look, then lowered his voice to offer a reminder before flickering away:

"Kid, the Third Kazekage has gone missing, and the border is becoming increasingly tense. It looks like the Shinobi World War is about to break out."

"You're only a Genin right now; don't try to be a hero and take on missions you shouldn't!"

Following this, the Chunin frowned and glanced at what Uchiha Ci was currently doing, saying speechlessly:

"As an Uchiha, what you should be doing right now is training hard to improve your strength, not wasting all your time on these trash missions."

With that, Whoosh—

Once the Chunin left, A look of irrepressible joy suddenly appeared in Uchiha Ci's eyes. He tossed aside the fork he had been using to clear trash from the river, flipped over, and landed on the bank.

He casually threw the soda can into a burlap sack on the riverbank.

"Damn it all, is the Shinobi World War finally about to break out?"

Uchiha Ci's face was full of excitement.

"I can finally leave the village and go die! This past year has been driving me crazy!"

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

"With these bird-brained missions, how am I supposed to go die?"

Uchiha Ci let out a long sigh of relief, 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 history of the shinobi world.

He was a transmigrator.

However, he was no ordinary transmigrator.

He was a Heaven-Sent Strong Man, one chosen out of ten thousand by the will of the Heavenly Dao!

What is a Heaven-Sent Strong Man?

Simply put:

He is assigned a random talent and sent into various chaotic eras, where he must rely on his personal ability and hard work to rewrite tragedies that were supposed to happen, push society forward, and achieve a happy ending.

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

Conversely, if he failed or acted against humanity, he would be erased by the Heavenly Dao when the curtain fell on the ending.

Of course, as an orthodox Heavenly Dao, it provided Uchiha Ci with insurance.

In the process of saving the common people as a Heaven-Sent Strong Man, should he suffer an accident and perish midway, he would be eligible for a payout.

He would return to his original world with a generous insurance settlement (500 million yuan).

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

Uchiha Ci had been waiting for this moment to arrive.

The original body had lost its parents at a young age and, due to mediocre talent, was frequently bullied by clan members, remaining nothing more than a Genin to this day.

He had never even heard of such a person in Naruto; he was likely someone who died in the Third Shinobi World War, the Nine-Tails' Attack, or the Clan Annihilation Night.

He was essentially cannon fodder.

And what is the final destination for cannon fodder?

Uchiha Ci arrived at the answer without a second thought—

It was the battlefield!

As long as he reached the battlefield and got stabbed to death, even the most stingy Heavenly Dao insurance company would have to hold its nose and pay out the premium!

As it happened, this was the eve of the Third Shinobi World War.

Sunagakure, having lost the Third Kazekage, would soon formally declare war on Konoha and push the front lines further.

Using this as a starting point, the future would be filled with chaotic battles between all parties.

The Battle of the Green Island Reef and Mist!

The Cloud-Lightning Gorge Invasion Operation!

The final battle of the Third Raikage, fighting ten thousand alone!

The Land of Rain, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and the Dragon Soul reaping lives like grass!

The Battle of Kannabi Bridge!

The Battle of Mount Kikyo!

Those legendary ninjas!

The most brutal wars to date!

Every whispered conspiracy in the shadows, every greedy line drawn across the maps!

They would all erupt in this era!

Uchiha Ci pondered that if he were to stumble into any one of these classic battles, he would be wiped out as easily as a weakling!

Being cannon fodder meant dying before he even knew what hit him!

Even if he were lucky enough to be one in a million and survive these wars, Uchiha Ci could still happily maintain a calm state of mind.

After all, the Nine-Tails' Attack and the Clan Annihilation Night were still waiting for him after that!

Of course, it wasn't that Uchiha Ci hadn't thought about becoming a Heaven-Sent Strong Man to rewrite history.

After all, he had quite a few regrets regarding the world of Naruto.

However, after assessing the situation, he realized:

With his abilities, trying to achieve a more perfect ending than Naruto with only one life was basically a pipe dream.

The Prince had talent hacks, a father-gifted hack, an ancestral hack, the Talk-no-Jutsu hack, and a whole series of other cheats, yet he still nearly capsized when facing the top combatants of the Naruto world.

And he? He was just a weakling who couldn't even awaken the Sharingan.

Upward, he couldn't trace his bloodline to obtain the Power of Indra or the Power of Six Paths for genetic mutation.

Downward, with his level of knowledge, he couldn't self-develop a Gundam or achieve godhood through technology.

What was he supposed to fight with?

If he had a cheat that granted him a Mangekyo right at the start, that would be fine, but the Heavenly Dao was a legitimate company, and its cheat-power was severely lacking. To this day, the talent he had rolled hadn't even arrived yet.

Other than being cannon fodder, he couldn't think of any way for his mortal body to turn the tables against the wind.

Therefore, once Uchiha Ci realized he could reasonably commit insurance fraud, his mindset took a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

I mean, five hundred million—isn't that sweet?

As for saving the world, Let's just say, Trust the Prince!

As for him, Uchiha Ci, he would first, on the eve of this treacherous ninja war—

Find a place to go and die. Give his all until his heart stopped beating!

Look at that, Hiruzen Sarutobi would be moved to tears just hearing such dedication!

He would even have to burn paper offerings for him in front of the Memorial Stone!

"Summoning the clansmen at a time like this must be a war mobilization meeting. Dangerous missions are already scarce; I can't let them snatch those away from me!"

"I have to hurry!"

"This, this is shedding blood and sacrificing my head for Konoha!"

"I can definitely charge in!"

Uchiha Ci's eyes set with determination. Without any hesitation, he kicked off his rubber boots used for wading and bolted toward the Police Force!

He didn't even bother with the sack and fork he'd left on the shore.

Nearby, Uchiha Shisui, who was passing by and leaping across the rooftops on his way to the Police Force, Happened to overhear Uchiha Ci's words from below.

He couldn't help but freeze for a long moment, nearly missing his footing and falling off the roof.

Immediately, his eyes lit up:

"There's actually someone in the Uchiha clan who shares my way of thinking?"

Uchiha Shisui sized up Uchiha Ci, who was sprinting toward the setting sun, and rubbed his chin.

"However, the mission the clan leader is about to announce is far too dangerous."

"No, I cannot let such a young and dedicated comrade throw his life away!"

With those words, Uchiha Shisui's gaze hardened.

As a fine young man who loved his village, he understood Uchiha Ci's heartfelt devotion to Konoha all too well.

Under the influence of such emotions, it was very easy for one to get hot-headed and choose missions that others wouldn't even dare to glance at, just to prove themselves.

How many good men had lost their lives for such foolish reasons?

It was truly a pity.

As for Uchiha Shisui, He would absolutely never allow such a tragedy to unfold before his very eyes!

Especially—

Those two missions that were about to be mobilized, which could almost be described as certain death!

New book seeking support, seeking follow-reads, seeking everything. This book summarizes the flaws of the previous ones; having learned from the pain, I have prepared a perfected outline and arrangement of satisfying plot points. Please rest assured, my lords, and dive in!

Lost will do his best to present a different Ninja World to everyone, cutting from the perspective of the protagonist through the Ninja War into the games between small nations, small organizations, and great powers. Kekkei Tōta, the fusion of Ketsuryūgan and Sharingan, the immortality of the Evil God Cult, the Hydrification of the Hozuki, Mangekyo awakenings referenced from Japanese mythology, as well as explosive plot twists and the forbidden power of a mortal body profaning the gods.
