Waking Up

Shiyu woke up to find that everything around him had changed. The people beside him were wearing strange clothes, and ninjas occasionally walked by on the street. The surrounding environment was also both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

"Where am I?" Shiyu touched his head, unable to clearly recall what had happened before. However, looking at the environment around him, which didn't seem fake, he knew this wasn't a prank.

"Did I transmigrate? Or am I still dreaming?" Shiyu pinched himself hard.

"It hurts! I'm not dreaming! Then I must have transmigrated!" Shiyu turned his head and saw three familiar rock statues.

"This is!? Could this be Konohagakure!? Did I transmigrate to Konohagakure!?" Shiyu exclaimed in disbelief.

"Ding!" A magical voice suddenly appeared beside Shiyu's ear. At this moment, Shiyu heard a voice similar to a robot's.

"Binding..."

"Binding..."

"Binding successful! Congratulations, Host! The Strongest Bloodline System has been activated! Host! Do you wish to use the Bloodline System's initial reward!?"

Without a second thought, Shiyu replied, "Use it!"

"Ding! Hello, Host! The system has delivered your initial system reward! Otsutsuki bloodline! Do you wish to fuse with the bloodline?"

Shiyu naturally said, "Choose to fuse!"

As soon as Shiyu finished speaking, he felt his body begin to change. An indescribable comfort swept through his entire body and instantly rushed to his brain.

"A large amount of dopamine has been generated for you! To resist the upcoming pain!" As the system's voice fell, a strange beam of light shot towards Shiyu from all directions.

Shiyu, who was in heaven moments ago, was now in hell. A tearing sensation throughout his body and the feeling of bursting blood vessels instantly surged from his brain to his entire body.

Shiyu was in unbearable pain. He didn't make a sound, as if he had become completely numb to the agony.

"Host! Hold on! Fusion is about to be completed!"

"3!" Shiyu was going mad from the pain.

"2!" Shiyu's senses were blurring, even the sounds around him.

"1!" As the system's final voice fell, Shiyu lost consciousness.

"Fusion complete! Congratulations, Host! You have fused with the initial reward! The purest Otsutsuki bloodline!"

However, Shiyu had already fainted from the pain and didn't hear the system's final words.

In a daze, Shiyu seemed to hear someone calling his name.

"Uchiha Shiyu! Uchiha Shiyu!" Shiyu finally opened his eyes and saw a delicate and pretty girl. She had jet-black hair and bright, dark eyes. It was clear that this person was calling Shiyu's name.

At this moment, Shiyu was lying on a white hospital bed. The smell of disinfectant all around made him a little uncomfortable. It was evident he was in a hospital bed.

"My name is Uchiha Shiyu?" Shiyu asked back.

The girl looked a little sad, and seeing Shiyu, she couldn't help but cry.

"Wuwuwu! Brother Shiyu! It's all my fault! I insisted on getting that necklace back! Otherwise, you wouldn't be like this, not remembering anything. Do you still remember who I am?" the girl asked, crying.

Shiyu looked at the girl in front of him and slowly shook his head. "I'm sorry, I don't remember anything. You call me Uchiha Shiyu? Am I from the Uchiha Clan?"

The girl started crying again and said, "It's over! Brother Shiyu! You've really forgotten me! I'm Xiao Xing!"

Shiyu touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Xiao Xing, I might really have amnesia. Can you tell me what happened before?"

Xiao Xing took out a mirror and placed it in front of Shiyu.

Shiyu saw his own reflection.

His black hair just covered his forehead, his nose was high, his skin was yellowish, and he had a pair of obsidian-like eyes. His eyes were spirited, sharp as an eagle when he was fierce, and gentle as a sheep when he was tender.

He should have had a flawless, handsome face.

But unfortunately, a scar ran from his left eyebrow across his nose, detracting from his handsome face, yet adding a touch of ferocity.

"Look at you, not only have you lost your memory, but you're also disfigured. It's not those bad guys from your Uchiha Clan who stole my necklace, and then you went to get it back for me, only to be beaten by them. They even cut your face with a knife. When I found you, you were unconscious. I never expected... you'd also have amnesia now."

Xiao Xing almost cried again.

"Little sister Xiao Xing, don't worry. Even though I have amnesia, look, I'm fine now!" Shiyu said, comforting Xiao Xing while his mind raced.

"Transmigration? System? Bloodline? Xiao Xing? It's all very confusing, but I can probably piece it together. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be in the world of Naruto right now!"

"It seems I've transmigrated into the body of a young boy from the Uchiha Clan." Shiyu then started chatting with Xiao Xing.

After chatting with Xiao Xing, Shiyu learned that although he was a member of the Uchiha Clan, his parents had unfortunately died in battle long ago, leaving Shiyu alone in Konohagakure.

With no one to care for him, Shiyu grew up amidst cold sneers and the Byakugan. Xiao Xing had a similar experience to Shiyu, and thus, true friendship was forged in hardship. Shiyu had always treated Xiao Xing like a sister.

This time, Xiao Xing was bullied by a noble son of the Uchiha Clan. Shiyu stood up for Xiao Xing, and during the argument, he accidentally hit his head, which gave Shiyu the opportunity to transmigrate.

With the cause and effect understood, Shiyu's next course of action was clear.

"Hmph! The Uchiha Clan!" Shiyu looked at the tearful Xiao Xing and sneered inwardly.

"Alright, Xiao Xing, you should go back and rest early too. Didn't you say I have the Ninja Academy graduation exam tomorrow? I need to prepare." Shiyu then sent Xiao Xing away.

"The system is activated, and the Otsutsuki bloodline has been fused! I wonder what abilities I have now?" Shiyu closed his eyes and felt the changes within his body.

"I can feel that a world-shattering change has occurred within my body!" Shiyu suddenly felt his eyes itching and his body feeling hot.

He could feel a powerful current surging through every part of his body, and his consciousness was like a key to unlock his power.

"In that case! Let's open it!" Shiyu directly opened all the conduits in his body, and a pure power instantly filled every part of his body.

"Is this Chakra?" The familiar yet unfamiliar energy contained within every part of his body was naturally the most common energy in the Naruto world: Chakra.
