The morning sunlight shone into the small, Japanese-style log cabin, making it feel warm and bright.
A young boy of about ten years old was sleeping on the tatami mat.
The boy had delicate features, fair skin, and an exceptionally handsome appearance.
Feeling the warmth of the sun, Keigo's biological clock dispelled his sleepiness right on time, and he woke from his slumber.
Looking at the pure log furniture and the thick Japanese aesthetic surrounding him, Keigo took a breath of the fresh morning air and couldn't help but sigh, "Without realizing it, three years have already passed since I transmigrated here!"
That's right, the young boy was Keigo, and he was a transmigrator.
Furthermore, he had transmigrated into the Naruto world he had watched since he was a child!
As for the Naruto world, Keigo could be said to be extremely familiar with it.
It was the anime he had followed from childhood until the very end.
Not only that, he loved reading Naruto fanfiction, searching for obscure plot details, and was even a content creator who specialized in analyzing Naruto's plot and clues.
Relying on his excellent analytical and reasoning skills, he had even accumulated one hundred thousand followers on Bilibili.
On the day Naruto concluded, he was so excited that when he slammed his laptop shut, he used too much force, the computer exploded, and then he transmigrated.
It had been exactly three years since he arrived.
And his full name now was Keigo Uchiha!
That's right, he had transmigrated into an Uchiha!
Not only that, but his father was the famous Kagami Uchiha!
He was a disciple of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju and a fellow apprentice of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He was the ancestor of Shisui Uchiha.
However, it was a great pity that before Keigo could learn anything from this cheap father, Kagami Uchiha, the man had kicked the bucket!
His mother had also passed away shortly after, overcome by excessive grief.
Fortunately, the Great Elder of the Uchiha clan had taken good care of Keigo, allowing him to spend these years without any worries.
"I'm entering the Ninja Academy tomorrow, so the Great Elder should be helping me test my chakra affinity today..."
While getting dressed and washing up, Keigo thought to himself.
He had just turned six years old, and tomorrow was the day the new class of students would enroll. As a descendant of Kagami Uchiha, there was no doubt he would be attending the Ninja Academy.
After all, Kagami Uchiha was a staunch member of the Hokage faction, and the soon-to-be-inaugurated Hiruzen Sarutobi was Kagami's fellow apprentice. As Kagami's descendant, it was impossible for Keigo not to attend the Ninja Academy.
"I wonder what my ninja talent is like, but logically speaking, it shouldn't be bad."
Looking at his handsome and cute young self in the mirror, Keigo smiled slightly.
This body of his had perfectly inherited the advantages of Kagami Uchiha and his mother Haru Uchiha; his skin was fair, his features were handsome, and his nose bridge was high. He looked very pleasing to the eye—definitely at the level of a village heartthrob.
Both Kagami Uchiha and Haru Uchiha were Uchiha with pure bloodlines, so as their descendant, his talent naturally wouldn't be bad.
Most importantly, if there were no accidents and things followed the original work, his son would most likely be Shisui Uchiha.
Shisui Uchiha, a genius who was in no way inferior to Itachi Uchiha.
With an excellent father and an excellent son, Keigo, who served as the bridge between them, naturally wouldn't have poor genetic talent.
Just as Keigo was lost in his thoughts, a prompt suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! The God-Level Golden Egg System has finished binding!]
[Ding! Does the host require an explanation of this system's functions?]
Hearing this prompt, Keigo was somewhat surprised.
It was actually a system?!
"Damn, I've been transmigrated for three years, and you only bind now? Isn't that a bit too damn slow!"
After reacting, Keigo complained in his heart.
[Ding! Respected host, I am truly sorry. Due to the space-time travel, this system required three years to recover.]
Uh, whatever, at least being late is better than not having one at all, right?
"Fine, then system, explain what functions you have."
[Ding! Respected host, the function of this system is to smash golden eggs.]
[Every year, the host can smash a golden egg for free. The items inside are all-encompassing and can bring the host great improvements!]
"Smashing golden eggs? Interesting."
"But smashing once a year, isn't that interval a bit too long?"
Hearing Keigo's question, the system replied:
[Ding! Respected host, the quality of the golden eggs provided by this system is extraordinary, therefore they can only be smashed once a year.]
"Since that's the case, is there a newbie gift pack? You at least have to let me experience it, right!?"
[Ding! A novice golden egg has been prepared for you! Please smash the golden egg, Host!]
At this very moment, Keigo felt a flash of golden light streak through his consciousness, followed by the manifestation of a magnificent, imposing golden egg.
Simultaneously, hovering above the golden egg was a decent-looking little golden hammer, coiled with a ferocious and majestic five-clawed golden dragon.
As his consciousness shifted, the little hammer trembled slightly, floating in place.
Looking at this awe-inspiring and mysterious golden egg, Keigo felt a flicker of anticipation.
A golden egg that could only be smashed once a year, and judging by the System's tone, it sounded incredibly impressive; he wondered what kind of treasure he might pull from it.
Since that was the case, open it!
Following the command of Keigo's consciousness, the golden hammer within his sea of consciousness slammed down violently.
The sound of a cracking eggshell echoed out, and at the same time, numerous fissures suddenly appeared on the golden egg, with magical white light erupting from the cracks.
Shortly after, the eggshell shattered completely, dissolving into golden specks of light that vanished into thin air.
Left behind in his sea of consciousness was a single golden card.
The card was labeled: [Storm Release Kekkei Genkai Fusion Card].
Requirement: Must possess both Lightning and Water chakra natures!
Seeing this card, Keigo's eyes widened in shock!
Holy crap!
The System didn't lie to me!
To think it would drop a Storm Release Kekkei Genkai Fusion Card right out of the gate!
While perhaps not heaven-defying, it could certainly be called top-tier!
One had to know that in this world, a Kekkei Genkai was practically synonymous with being a powerhouse.
And Storm Release was among the more formidable types of Kekkei Genkai.
In the original series, Darui was the most iconic user of Storm Release, and its power was immense.
Storm Release possessed both the overwhelming offensive power of Lightning Release and the controllability and diffusion capabilities of Water Release; when developed to its peak, it could even unleash attacks akin to lasers.
Even Madara Uchiha, while in his Six Paths state, used Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang, a technique that shattered Naruto's Truth-Seeking Ball staff in a single strike.
All in all, if Storm Release was developed well and combined with his own excellent talent, Keigo felt it would be enough to propel him to the Kage level.
This was simply amazing.
To pull something of such high quality on his very first golden egg smash!
Keigo found himself looking forward to the annual System golden egg even more.
Although the one-year cooldown was a bit long, it didn't matter; he was only six years old this year, and he had plenty of time.
Just as Keigo was contemplating whether he should try fusing the Storm Release right now, a sweet, soft girl's voice drifted in from outside the room.
"Keigo! Keigo~ Grandpa told me to come and get you!"
Hearing that cute, melodious voice, a smile appeared on Keigo's face involuntarily.
At the same time, the heavy wooden sliding door was slowly pulled open.
As the sunlight slanted into the room, what came into view was a cute little girl, around six or seven years old, roughly the same age as Keigo.
The little girl was equally stunning in appearance, with incredibly delicate features and fair, moving skin; one could tell at a glance she was a beauty in the making.
What was most eye-catching was the little girl's complexion.
It was incredibly fair and tender, with a faint pink flush beneath the snow-white skin, and combined with a touch of baby fat, she looked soft and chubby, like a little white, glutinous bun.
In fact, the little girl's name was just as she looked: Momoko Uchiha.
She was the granddaughter of the Great Elder, Kyo Uchiha.
She was also Keigo's childhood sweetheart and playmate who had grown up alongside him.
Momoko didn't care whether Keigo had just woken up or not; she grabbed his hand and started running outside.
