A Damnable Mission

Konoha 21, Ninja Academy.

The First Shinobi World War had only just ended, yet the cruelty of war already seemed far removed from people.

The entire classroom was filled with the joyful laughter of children playing and the noise of them running about.

Seated near the front of the classroom was a youth who seemed utterly out of place amid the surrounding clamor.

He had black hair, and beneath his messy bangs were a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Though his features still retained some childishness, his handsome face foretold that he would grow into a strikingly handsome man.

This person was our protagonist, the current Uchiha Kagura.

Of course, Several Years Ago, he had not gone by that name. He had merely been an ordinary Otaku on Blue Star.

He only remembered that, as a Hokage fan, he had been at home that night playing a Hokage mobile game.

Then a flash of white light passed before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he discovered that he had become a three-year-old Child.

The scene when he woke up remained vivid in his mind to this day.

At the time, his entire body had been soaked, and a group of people had gathered around him, shouting something at him.

It took him a long while to understand what had happened from the words of those around him.

It turned out that the original owner of this three-year-old body had accidentally fallen into a river. Fortunately, someone had spotted him and quickly pulled him out.

Was he really fortunate?

Only he knew the answer.

The original owner of this body had probably already died in that accident. His own soul had merely crossed over and taken the Child's place.

Seeing the Child staring blankly Before their eyes, everyone assumed he was simply frightened by the accident. They shook their heads and took him home.

Still dazed, he followed the adults home, only learning his current name the next day:

Uchiha Kagura!

Uchiha?

I actually crossed over into the Uchiha Clan of the Hokage World?

Upon learning this fact, he... no, Kagura, as he should now be called, could only feel bitterness fill his mouth.

Yes, he had loved the Uchiha in his previous world.

Their cool Sharingan and lofty character settings had made them one of the most popular clans in Hokage.

But as someone familiar with the Hokage Plot, he naturally knew that becoming one of them through transmigration was probably far from wonderful.

Setting aside Uchiha Madara, the Big BOSS working behind the scenes, in the not-too-distant future—

A little Monster named Uchiha Itachi would emerge from the Uchiha Clan and, for the So-called greater good, wipe out the entire clan...

What did clan extermination mean?

It meant that his own life would be in danger too!

Back in the present, Kagura, who was resting his chin on one hand and staring blankly Outside Window, could not help but sigh.

A few Children nearby were whispering among themselves:

"Hey, what is that Uchiha 'Monster' staring blankly at this time?"

"Keep it down. Do you want him to beat you up again?"

"Hmph! What is there to be afraid of? Can't several of us beat one of him?"

"You said the same thing last time, and got all of us beaten up...

Please stay away from me this time."

"Ah!~~~

Even Kagura looks so handsome when he is staring blankly~"

Naturally, Kagura heard every word those Little Beans were saying.

But he was in no mood to Pay Attention to those Children right now.

It had been five years since he crossed over.

In order to change his future fate of being slaughtered, he had forced himself to train without stop.

Before he knew it, because his strength far surpassed that of his peers, he had gradually earned the title of the Uchiha "Monster."

As a transmigrator, he naturally had a system as well.

But unlike the Protagonists in other novels, this system did not give him missions, rewards, or anything of the sort.

It merely displayed his abilities in the form of data.

Every improvement in his abilities could only be earned through his own hard training.

Fortunately, this quantified system also allowed him to clearly see the results of every training session.

After five years of training, his current abilities at the age of eight were as follows:

Dōjutsu: (Single-Tomoe Sharingan), progress 93.5%.

Taijutsu: (Fourth Gate, Gate of Pain), progress 86.5%.

Chakra: (Chunin Level), progress 32.5%.

He did not know whether this body was truly exceptionally gifted, or whether it was a benefit brought by the system within him.

His training speed was clearly far superior to that of others.

When Kagura was five, he had already been able to activate the Single-Tomoe Sharingan.

However, in order to keep a low profile, he had never revealed it in front of others.

After all, according to the Uchiha Clan's records, anyone who could activate a Single Tomoe before the age of ten was considered a Genius.

As for taijutsu, comparing himself with the Hokage Plot in his memories, his current self should have surpassed the Taijutsu Genius Rock Lee at the same age.

Just as he looked Outside Window and sighed again, a somewhat overbearing Girl's voice rang out beside him:

"Hey!

You little idiot, what are you sighing about!"

Without even turning around, he knew who the Approacher was just from the voice.

"Leave him alone.

Tsunade, go on a date with me after school!

This time, I found a really good bookstore. They have books we normally can't buy~~~~"

"Jiraiya, if you really dare take Tsunade to buy that kind of book, I think Teacher Sarutobi might twist your head off."

Kagura turned around helplessly. As expected, it was Konoha's legendary "Sannin."

Of course, they were still far from possessing the strength worthy of the title "Sannin."

In fact, Kagura had entered the Ninja Academy at the age of five and had already been classmates with them for three years.

Compared to the Giant Magnate she would become in the future, Tsunade was currently just an overbearing flat-chested princess.

He did not know whether it was because she had been influenced by her Second Grandfather, Senju Tobirama.

Ever since Kagura entered the academy, she had taken a dislike to him for being from the Uchiha Clan, often coming over to provoke him for no reason.

Thinking that he should not stoop to the level of these little brats, Kagura initially chose to ignore Tsunade's provocations.

It was not that he was aloof. Imagine having the soul of someone in his twenties stuffed into a Child's body.

Naturally, he had no interest whatsoever in socializing with peers his physical age.

However, because of Tsunade's special background, she had developed a rather spoiled and arrogant personality.

After one verbal provocation failed to work, she could not resist attacking Kagura.

Naturally, Kagura did not tolerate that. He gave her a brutal beating!

Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Tsunade's closest friends, were dragged into the fight as well. Unsurprisingly, all three of them received a sound beating from him.

But unexpectedly, that act was like kicking a hornet's nest. After the other boys in the class learned of it, they all challenged Kagura one after another.

Even people with the potential of the "Sannin" could not defeat him, so these little brats naturally fared no better.

After nearly every boy in the class had been beaten by Kagura once, they gradually no longer dared to challenge him.

That was also how Kagura's reputation as a "Monster" became firmly established.

As for the Girls in class, most of them were fans obsessed with Kagura's looks...

So sometimes, being handsome really did let someone do whatever he wanted.

In the end, only the "Sannin," led by Tsunade, continued to bravely provoke Kagura despite repeatedly losing.

As time passed, the few of them gradually developed a strange kind of friendship.

Seeing Tsunade and the other two walk over to speak with Kagura, the surrounding classmates began whispering:

"Worthy of Princess Tsunade. Only she still dares to approach that 'Monster.'"

"Exactly. But why is that Guy Jiraiya so familiar with that 'Monster' too?"

"Hah!

What 'Monster'!

Of course you people would not understand the appeal of someone like Kagura!"

Looking at the three of them Before his eyes, Kagura could not help but feel another headache coming on.

Come to think of it, the reason he was so troubled now really did have something to do with these three.

After a full five years, the system had issued him a mission for the first time.

Just that morning, the system's mission information had appeared in his mind.

But no matter how he looked at the mission's contents, he felt that the system was messing with him:

Ding!

Please complete the mission: Kiss one of the "Sannin."
