Transmigration

As a sharp pain shot through his brain, Neji abruptly woke up. Images flashed through his mind, gradually becoming clearer until they settled on a funeral hall. The throbbing in his head eased.

The images were simple, merely a brief overview of a five-year-old's life.

The child's name was Hyuga Neji, a member of the Hyuga Clan's Branch Family in Konohagakure.

His father had chosen suicide for the sake of the village's peace, the Hyuga Clan's development, and his own brother, offering his corpse to Kumogakure in place of his brother in exchange for so-called "peace"!

To Neji, who was born in the 21st century, this was utterly laughable.

But now, Neji couldn't laugh, because this had happened to Hyuga Neji.

And now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hyuga Neji was Neji, and he, Neji, was also Hyuga Neji!

Neji had transmigrated. It was dramatic, to say the least, but for Neji, who had lived an unremarkable life, it might not be a bad thing.

In his previous life, he was an orphan, single and unattached. In this life, he was also an orphan and single, but a five-year-old body and a magical world background gave the newborn Neji limitless possibilities!

Once he understood this, Neji stopped dwelling on it. From now on, he would continue to live as Hyuga Neji, and live well.

He stood up, stretched his body, and tried calling out "System," "Sovereign," "AI Brain"...

No response. Neji chuckled self-deprecatingly. It seemed he didn't have a cheat ability.

But from another perspective, wasn't knowing the plot a cheat in disguise?

He stopped thinking about it and quietly began to explore his "new home."

Neji currently lived in a small courtyard with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and two small yards in the front and back. Overall, the environment was quite nice.

Neji went to his father's former bedroom.

Because his father had committed suicide, he had organized his belongings before his death and stored them in his bedroom.

There were two boxes of belongings. Neji opened the smaller one first. Inside were some valuables, roughly estimated at ten million Ryo.

That was average for a Jonin, considering that a difficult A-Rank Mission could pay out close to a million Ryo.

In the future, Asuma's head would be worth thirty million Ryo.

Neji didn't want much. This money was enough for Neji to live on until adulthood.

If Neji didn't pursue the path of a Ninja and simply lived like an ordinary person, he could lie down and live out his life, indulging in pleasure.

But if he chose that, it would be too boring. And for Neji, who knew the world of Naruto, without strength, he would be at the mercy of others.

That was not the life Neji wanted.

The other wooden box contained some books, from Ninja primers to detailed explanations of Ninjutsu, seventy or eighty books in all.

A handwritten manuscript caught Neji's attention. It was his father, Hizashi Hyuga's, reflections on his own Ninjutsu before his death.

Neji couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. His father was a strict Ninja, and the two rarely communicated. His father sometimes deliberately avoided Neji, as if he was filled with guilt.

Neji couldn't understand why his father would make that choice, but it didn't stop Neji from feeling his father's love, his longing for the future, and his unwillingness to accept fate.

Neji picked up a Ninja primer and began to read it slowly.

Thanks to being born into a large clan, Neji, at only five years old, had already completed literacy and Chakra extraction training.

Therefore, reading this Ninja primer was not difficult for Neji.

Ninja training is mainly divided into the following aspects:

First, Chakra extraction. Chakra is produced by combining physical and spiritual energy.

Physical energy is drawn from the 130 trillion cells in the human body, and spiritual energy is generated through various stimuli or the body's growth. When the body accumulates enough Chakra, it can be released through certain guidance to produce various Ninjutsu.

Second, physical training, which is relatively easy to understand.

Through repeated training, various physical indicators are improved, including reaction ability, movement speed, punching power, resistance to blows, and so on.

Third, Ninjutsu practice. When the amount of Chakra reaches a certain level, Ninjas generally choose different Ninjutsu to practice according to their own Chakra nature, in order to increase the power of the Ninjutsu and reduce the time to release it.

Fourth, other training, such as Kunai throwing, the use of bladed tools, etc.

Currently, Neji has completed Chakra extraction and already has a wisp of weak Chakra flowing within his body.

He has also begun to train his body, which is a good start for Neji, so that he doesn't have to start from scratch.
