Parents Died at the Start

Some people never reach Rome in their entire lives, while others are born in Rome...

This saying is particularly fitting for the world of Naruto.

In a world where talent and bloodline are everything, many things are already destined from the moment of birth.

Uchiha Yuan, 10 years old this year, is a fourth-year student at the Konoha Ninja Academy. His grades are mediocre, and aside from a pair of One-Tomoe Sharingan, he is completely unremarkable within the Uchiha Clan.

Speaking of this pair of One-Tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Yuan is even more speechless.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan awakens when a member loses someone they love dearly or feels deep pain from their own failures. Special chakra surges in the brain and acts upon the optic nerves, causing the eyes to change; this is commonly known as awakening the eyes.

When Uchiha Yuan learned that his parents had died on the battlefield of the Third Great Ninja War, this special chakra surged in his brain. However, the volume of this chakra was too great, and Uchiha Yuan's nerves could not withstand it, causing him to hit "GG" immediately.

As for Guo Yuan, who died suddenly from staying up late working overtime, he somehow transmigrated into the world of Naruto and occupied this body, becoming Uchiha Yuan.

In his previous life, Guo Yuan was quite the otaku, and Naruto happened to be the series that got him into anime. However, Naruto had finished so many years ago that the last time he watched it dated back several years.

Regarding Naruto, Guo Yuan only remembered the general plot.

But in Guo Yuan's impression, it seems no member of the Uchiha Clan had ever hit "GG" just because they couldn't handle the surge of special chakra in their brain when awakening the Sharingan, right?

Could it be that he had received the script for a "trash" protagonist?

But Uchiha Yuan soon realized he was wrong; he wasn't a "trash," though he certainly wasn't a genius either.

Uchiha Yuan was much like the vast majority of children in the Uchiha Clan: his chakra amount was neither high nor low, he knew a Great Fireball Technique that couldn't even burn a person to death, he was decent at shuriken throwing, and that was about it.

Based on Uchiha Yuan's years of experience reading novels, what transmigrators fear most is not a "trash" start; rising from the bottom is a standard trope for satisfying stories.

Moreover, in the worldview of Naruto, the "dead last" are often the strongest—weren't Naruto, Obito, and Jiraiya all dead lasts?

As for starting as a genius, that goes without saying; you just spend the whole time crushing the weak. I have talent, who do I fear?

What is truly terrifying is being stuck in the middle like Uchiha Yuan.

His grades were unremarkable, his interpersonal relationships were unremarkable, and his appearance was... well, that wasn't unremarkable; there are no ugly people in the Uchiha Clan.

In short, Uchiha Yuan was the type of person who could be thrown into a crowd and no one would ever notice him.

Fortunately, as a transmigrator, Uchiha Yuan had his own Golden Finger.

In Uchiha Yuan's mind, there was a Roulette. Every day, as long as Uchiha Yuan exercised for three hours, he would gain one chance to spin the Roulette and then embark on an adventure within the text game inside it.

So far, Uchiha Yuan had only received stat point rewards in the text game, which could be added to the five attributes on his character panel.

These five attributes are:

Chakra Amount

Physique

Eye Power

Vitality

Nature Affinity

At the bottom of the panel, there was also a small progress bar. The level currently displayed was lv7, and it required 10 points of experience to level up; the experience was gained by adding points 10 times.

As of today, Uchiha Yuan had been transmigrated for nearly a month, but he had not yet gathered 10 points.

This wasn't because Uchiha Yuan was lazy, but simply because when he first transmigrated, whether due to nerve damage or some other reason, his body was completely unresponsive.

If not for the care of his fellow Uchiha clansmen, he would have starved to death long ago.

These seemingly arrogant and condescending members of the Uchiha Clan were often cold on the outside but warm on the inside; they valued their own people very much.

When Uchiha Yuan first transmigrated, he had lost the ability to move, with only his eyeballs capable of turning.

In the ninja world, especially now that the Third Great Ninja War had broken out, medical resources and manpower were severely lacking.

Even so, the Uchiha Clan did not choose to abandon him; every day, clansmen would come to take care of him, feeding him water and food.

This gave Uchiha Yuan a sense of belonging to this family.

After a full 20 days of recuperation, Uchiha Yuan went from being completely immobile to being able to walk, then to simple running and jumping, and finally, he basically gained control of this body.

Once his body recovered, Uchiha Yuan began his training; counting it up, he had already persisted for 9 days.

In the previous 8 days, Uchiha Yuan had gone to 8 different text game worlds, but no matter which world it was, Uchiha Yuan had never managed to live out his natural life.

Today, having just finished his exercise and gained the chance to spin the Roulette, Uchiha Yuan couldn't wait to spin the wheel in his mind.

Just like the previous times, Uchiha Yuan's consciousness extended. He sensed a mysterious fluctuation sweep across his entire body, as if something had been extracted, yet it felt as if nothing had been lost.

Then, his vision shifted. The Roulette instantly vanished, replaced by countless points of light scattering in all directions like brilliant meteor showers from the depths of the starry sky, until the light points re-aggregated into lines of text.

"You have logged into the Pirate King world."

"Is it the Pirate King world this time?" Uchiha Yuan muttered to himself.

"It is now the year 1498 of the Marineford Era. You, along with the big shots who will stir up the winds and clouds on the sea in the future, have witnessed the execution of the Pirate King, Roger."

"Attracted by Roger's One Piece, you decide to become a pirate and set sail."

"While sleeping with the widow next door, you stole her money and took out all your own savings to purchase a small boat."

"You have set sail."

"Because you couldn't read the nautical chart, you veered off course and arrived at a Naval Branch."

"You decided to solo this Naval Branch to seize the opportunity to make a name for yourself."

Uchiha Yuan's mouth twitched as he saw the text: "Damn it, what a moronic game. What kind of pirate tries to solo a Naval Branch right after setting sail? Died again today."

Sure enough, a few minutes later, another line of text appeared: "You were defeated by five Naval Branch soldiers. You have died."

"Game over!"

"Obtained Stat Point x1."

"Another stat point, this stupid game." Uchiha Yuan muttered, glancing at his panel:

Chakra Amount: 19
Physique: 12
Eye Power: 30
Vitality: 7
Nature Affinity: 3
Level: lv7 (1/10)
Stat Point: 9

During his training, Uchiha Yuan discovered that he didn't rely solely on adding points to increase his strength; diligent training also raised his stats, though the gains were minimal.

For the past nine days, Uchiha Yuan had chosen the most standard physical training to familiarize himself with this body as quickly as possible.

After nine days of hard work, the Physique on Uchiha Yuan's panel had increased from 11 to 12.

Uchiha Yuan was speechless at this rate of improvement; if he had to rely solely on training, it would be pure torture. Fortunately, he still had his Golden Finger.

However, Uchiha Yuan still didn't know what level of strength these stats and the level on his panel corresponded to in the Ninja World. The Golden Finger hadn't provided a manual, so he would have to explore it slowly on his own.

After a moment of hesitation, Uchiha Yuan added all 9 points into Physique.

Uchiha Yuan still felt a slight lack of coordination in his body, a condition that would gradually ease with physical training—a sensation that had been particularly noticeable when his Physique rose from 11 to 12.

Uchiha Yuan believed that as long as his Physique continued to improve, this feeling of disharmony would vanish completely.

Sure enough, after Uchiha Yuan added the 9 stat points to Physique, all the strange sensations in his body disappeared.

Uchiha Yuan immediately performed a set of Burpees, feeling incredibly smooth.

"Finally, I have complete control over this body!" Uchiha Yuan said excitedly.

Uchiha Yuan then planned to head outside to burn off some youthful energy, but just as he was about to leave, he noticed the right side of the level bar on his panel flickering.

With a thought, Uchiha Yuan touched the right side of the level bar, and a white gift box appeared in his mind.

"No way! So my Golden Finger doesn't just give rewards from the game; there are gift packs for leveling up too!" Uchiha Yuan thought to himself.

Looking at the white gift pack, Uchiha Yuan's assessment of his Golden Finger rose slightly, and his lips couldn't help but curl upward.

However, the next second, Uchiha Yuan's smile vanished, because after opening the gift box, there was only one Explosive Tag inside.

"Damn! This motherf—"

"Knock, knock! Yuan, are you there?" The sudden knocking interrupted Uchiha Yuan.

Uchiha Yuan recognized the voice; it was Uchiha Hironobu, his father's friend from the Police Force, who had been visiting him frequently lately.

"I'm here! Come on in, Uncle Hironobu!" Uchiha Yuan said while tucking the Explosive Tag away.

Uchiha Hironobu pushed the door open and walked in, his expression solemn, holding a Sealing Scroll in his hand.

Uchiha Yuan invited Uchiha Hironobu to sit down, then brought over a cup of tea and said, "Uncle Hironobu, all I have left is Oolong Tea, please make do with it!"

Uchiha Hironobu thanked him, took a sip of the tea, and sighed, "Sigh! Yuan, these are your parents' ashes and a portion of their inheritance. The village helped collect and cremate their bodies; I'm sorry I couldn't bring them back for you to see them one last time. However, the clan will do its best to demand more compensation from the village."
