It's Over, This Is Naruto

"What? He said he's the Hokage?"

"Keep your voice down! Look at where we are!"

"Oh, oh, but... holy crap, this is actually Naruto!" In the vast playground, several hundred children stood scattered about, facing a podium where a middle-aged man wearing a conical hat with the character for 'Fire' inscribed on it was speaking.

That middle-aged man had just claimed to be the Hokage.

Kamiya Keiyun was stunned. If you say you're the Hokage, doesn't that mean this is the world of Naruto?

But I've never watched Naruto! I don't know the plot!

The sudden news left Kamiya Keiyun's head spinning. Furthermore, the Hokage's speech was incredibly boring, and he remained in a daze throughout the entire process, not even realizing when he had been ushered into the classroom.

"Ahem, from today on, you are all classmates. I am your teacher, my name is Umino Iruka. I will be responsible for your studies for the next six years. I hope we can cooperate happily!" On the platform, a teacher wearing a ninja flak jacket bowed, then turned and wrote four large characters on the blackboard: Umino Iruka.

"I like sweet things, I dislike war, and as for my dream... I want to become a teacher that everyone likes."

"Now, we will begin our first activity after the start of the term: self-introductions. Just like I said, everyone one by one, starting with you!" Umino Iruka pointed to the two students by the door.

Those two children weren't shy. The first one stood up and said, "My name is Kotetsu Hagane. I like grilled meat the most, I hate eating green vegetables, and as for my dream, I want to become someone who protects Konoha!"

Umino Iruka nodded. Not bad, not bad; this child set a good example for everyone.

"Next, please!"

Kamiya Keiyun sat in the back, staring blankly at the outside world, while his brain was frantically trying to recall every little detail about Naruto.

After all, transmigrating without knowing the plot is truly difficult to survive, especially when you don't know who the protagonist is or who the villains are. What if I back the wrong horse? Wouldn't that be a GG?

He came from a rural area in Zhongyuan Province. There was no computer at home, though they did have a TV connected to a satellite dish, but it couldn't pick up the channels that aired Naruto. However, he had watched One Piece and Dragon Ball.

To change his backward hometown, Keiyun had studied hard since childhood, testing into the best junior high in the township, the best high school in the city, and eventually into China Agricultural University. But that was already in 2020. By then, Naruto had been finished for three years, and Keiyun had been too busy with his studies to catch up on such a long, completed anime.

As for how he transmigrated?

Could it be that he died of overwork from staying up late to tend to the wheat seedlings?

Regarding Naruto, his roommates had asked him a few questions at the start of the semester, but once they realized he hadn't watched it, they avoided discussing the plot around him. Recalling it now, his knowledge of Naruto consisted only of a few scattered words from his roommates, short videos, and comments he'd seen online.

For example, Naruto is also known as the Legend of Eyes, Black Zetsu Saves His Mother, and the later parts are just Gundams fighting aliens.

There were also a few highly popular characters, like Madara-sama, Snake Uncle, Yūhi Kurenai, and something about "Brother-in-law, you died so miserably."

Fu Keda. Kamiya Keiyun rubbed his temples. Still, it shouldn't be a big problem. To supplement the family income, I wrote novels. By the year I left, murder mystery games were everywhere, and I played them often; my logical reasoning skills are up to par.

Isn't Naruto a shonen anime? The plot of such anime is usually very simple: the protagonist goes on a passionate journey, uses plot armor to survive, and eventually defeats the big villain. With so many keywords, it shouldn't be a problem for me to distill the main plot.

First, looking at the name: Naruto. Two keywords can be extracted: Hokage and Ninja.

Ninja is a profession, but after transmigrating, he was a civilian who had only moved to Konoha this year; he didn't even know what ninjas actually did.

He knew about ninjas from his past life—they were responsible for poisoning, assassinations, and intelligence gathering, with functions somewhat like special forces. He didn't know if the two worlds were the same.

As for the Hokage, that was the boss of the ninjas, the highest leader of this village—the man from earlier.

This naming rule is a bit like Sect Master and cultivators, or One Piece and crew members—simple and plain. So, this story should be about the Hokage and the ninjas. And based on the common patterns of shonen manga, perhaps the protagonist's goal is to become the Hokage?

Furthermore, "Legend of Eyes"—this name sounds a bit like Legend of Nezha, Legend of Deification, or Legend of Spirit Mirror. The words before "Legend" are usually the main plot. If it's a person, then that person is the protagonist, like Nezha.

So, in this world, is the protagonist "Eyes"?

"My name is Hatake Kakashi. Things I like? There are many. Things I dislike? I don't want to say. My dream? It's also various things." A voice sounded from beside him, waking Kamiya Keiyun from his deep thoughts. He realized it was already his turn to introduce himself?

"Uh, my name is Kamiya Keiyun. I like flowers and plants, and I hate bugs... hmm?" Kamiya Keiyun felt the hedgehog-haired boy next to him, who was wrapped up tightly and wearing sunglasses, glare at him.

Why are you glaring at me? I'm from the Agricultural College; what kind of farmer likes bugs?

However, the school here seems to have very loose management. Can you even wear sunglasses in class?

"As for my dream, I hope for world peace!" Kamiya Keiyun hadn't finished deducing the plot yet, but no one could find fault with an ideal like world peace, unless this was some evil sect that thrived on chaos.

"A nice dream!" Only Umino Iruka clapped. After all, there were quite a few people who dreamed of becoming Hokage or hoping for world peace, so Kamiya Keiyun's words weren't particularly outstanding.

More importantly, Kamiya Keiyun was a civilian, a background character; no one would care what he said.

"Hey, you, Kashi?" Kamiya Keiyun sat down and began to greet his desk mate.

He didn't notice it before, but looking now, he was startled. This kid had a head of white hair and wore a large mask that covered his face, leaving only his eyes visible.

Doesn't it feel uncomfortable wearing it like that? You have to know, even during those two years of the pandemic, I never got used to wearing a mask!

The key is that this kind of getup and appearance usually wouldn't belong to a side character in a manga!

You have to know, manga characters often lack distinctiveness; special characters have to put effort into their attire, accessories, and hair color. This kid with white hedgehog hair and a mask—I don't believe for a second that he's just a background character!

"My name is Kakashi. Hatake is my surname!" Kakashi said helplessly, though there was a hint of curiosity in his tone.

He came from the Hatake Family, and his father was the famous Hatake Sakumo, Konoha's White Fang; he was essentially a high-ranking official's son.

Coupled with the fact that he had been practicing the blade since he was young, his gaze was sharp, and ordinary children didn't dare to greet him. This kid didn't seem to be from any prominent family, yet he was so bold?

Interesting!

"Oh, oh, sorry. Hatake Kakashi, right? I'll remember that!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded, then asked, "Say, do you know if anyone in the village has particularly strange eyes?"

Since the main supporting characters were all here, it meant the protagonist wasn't far off. Maybe if I ask Kakashi, I'll find out!

"Hmm?" Kakashi was taken aback. What does that mean? Spying for intelligence?

No, that makes no sense. Even if he were a spy, who gathers intelligence like this? Besides, he knew the surname Kamiya; it was a family that had been in charge of worshipping Inari in the Land of Fire for generations, serving the nation throughout their history. There was no reason for them to betray the Land of Fire!

Furthermore, were the Byakugan and Sharingan even considered intelligence? Weren't those common knowledge?

So, was it just pure curiosity?

That made sense. It was rare for a civilian family to produce a ninja; their daily lives and the ninja world were like two parallel lines. Now that he had entered this world, it was only natural to be curious about what the ninja world was like.

Everyone likes to show off and play the mentor, and Kakashi was no exception.

"As for eyes, as everyone knows, Konoha has two great Kekkei Genkai families. One is the Hyuga Clan, who possess the Byakugan, and the other is the Uchiha Clan, who possess the Sharingan. Look over there—that student is from the Uchiha!"

Hm?

So, the people with special eyes weren't just one group, but two great families?

Kamiya Keiyun fell silent, following Kakashi's gaze to look over. It was a seemingly ordinary kid wearing goggles, who was currently staring blankly at a little girl with face paint sitting in the front row.

Why did this kid look like he didn't have a high IQ?

Wait, for the protagonist of a shonen manga, being hot-blooded is enough; a high IQ really isn't necessary!

So, could he be the protagonist?

"What is his name?" Kamiya Keiyun asked.

"Uchiha Obito!"
