Transmigrated into the Unlucky Guy, Obito

Land of Fire, Konoha Hidden Village.

6:00 AM, a dim room with curtains drawn tight.

Lu Ming jolted awake on a single bed!

A violent headache followed, as if his skull were splitting. Lu Ming clutched his head, clawing at his hair. It felt as if ten thousand steel needles were piercing his brain. He curled into a ball, shivering like a startled pangolin.

Chaotic images flashed through his mind, accompanied by a deafening, buzzing roar. Two souls from different worlds were devouring and merging with each other.

He didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps dozens of seconds, perhaps several minutes.

The tearing pain began to subside until it finally vanished. Lu Ming gasped for air, a sense of surviving a catastrophe flooding his heart. He was moved to tears, though it was more likely he had just been cried out by the pain...

"Hoo..." He let out a long breath. The two souls had merged, and his memories were now unified. Lu Ming understood what had happened: he had transmigrated. Specifically, he had transmigrated into the world of Naruto and become the unlucky Obito.

He now occupied this five-year-old body, becoming the young Obito.

Lu Ming had watched Naruto, though it was many years ago. He still remembered some key characters and plot points. Back then, he felt the three most miserable people in the entire series were Nagato, Obito, and Madara. As for Itachi, Lu Ming thought he had a screw loose! Regardless of the reason, killing one's own parents was incomprehensible.

The late-stage Naruto world was a place where power-creeping mechs ran rampant; Kage-level strength was nothing! But no matter how strong you were, you couldn't compare to the Child of Prophecy, who had the Sage of Six Paths backing him. World peace and all that—what kind of grudge did he, a transmigrator, have to deal with? Still, in this world, it was hard to survive without strength. He couldn't afford to be weak.

Fortunately, the card game he had been playing before he died had followed him into the Naruto world.

It was a knock-off game called Myriad Worlds Card Drawer. At the time, he had been attracted by the art style—all those ladies in black silk stockings.

"From today on, I am Uchiha Obito. I'll live a good life!" Lu Ming muttered, rubbing his forehead.

After resting a while longer, once his body felt nothing more than a bit weak and sore, Obito struggled to sit up.

The room was small and simply furnished, reflecting a very average family background. It looked like a studio apartment on Earth: the living room was the bedroom, with a tiny bathroom and a small kitchen. On the wall opposite the bed hung a family portrait—a young couple smiling sweetly, the woman holding a baby in her arms.

Now that his parents were gone, he was left with a monthly pension of 6,000 ryo. Two lives, valued at 3,000 each. That was his entire fortune.

He got out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked to the window to pull back the curtains. There were few pedestrians on the street outside; it was likely still early. Obito's house was on the outermost edge of the Uchiha clan grounds, which showed that his parents had been very marginal figures in the clan.

"Gurgle... gurgle..." He rubbed his empty stomach. In the kitchen, he saw various flavors of instant noodles. He grabbed a cup at random and boiled some water.

While waiting, Obito checked the system in his mind. This was his capital for survival.

After checking, he realized the game system was quite different from the one he played on Earth. Had it mutated during the transmigration?

The flashy, colorful interface was gone. Now there were only two buttons: Draw Card and Recharge. Extremely simple.

The free draw, which used to be every 48 hours, now took 30 days!

A single draw cost 300 diamonds, which could be exchanged with ryo—100 ryo for 1 diamond. 300 diamonds meant 30,000 ryo! He would have to go six months without eating or drinking just for one draw. Why not just rob a bank? That would be faster!

Drawing cards could yield various items, including mission abilities, weapons, equipment, and sundries. It was pure luck. Thinking back on Obito's life in the original story, he didn't hold much hope for his luck.

The Draw Card button had the word "Free" written in large letters. His consciousness automatically focused on it; it was quite intuitive.

"The first draw is guaranteed to be of Purple quality or higher. Do you wish to draw?"

Obito chose to draw without hesitation. The entire interface transformed into a colorful vortex spinning endlessly, and a card radiating golden light appeared. It hovered face-down, glowing. As Obito focused his consciousness on it, the card flipped over, revealing a character card.

Holy crap! It was gold! He had spent money on Earth and never pulled a gold card even in a ten-pull. Was Obito a natural-born lucky player?

Item Name: Uchiha Obito Category: Character Card Quality: Gold Talent: Mangekyo Sharingan Attributes: Strength: 99, Stamina: 100, Spirit: 99, Agility: 99 Skills: Kamui (Right): A unique ability of Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan. Can turn the user intangible to enter the Kamui dimension and avoid enemy attacks for 5 minutes. Upon contact with an enemy, can suck the target into the Kamui dimension. Kamui (Left): The left eye's Kamui can forcibly twist and send targets into a different dimension from a distance, or teleport the user in and out. The size of the teleported object depends on the user's chakra reserves. Fire Style: Blast Wave Wild Dance: Kamui distorts the surrounding space to create a vortex-like storm. The user exhales a rotating fire snake, which combines with the vortex to form a massive, swirling inferno.

"Do you wish to convert the character card? (Gold characters grant the host 50% of their attribute values and 100% of their abilities.)"

I'm drawing myself? That's a scam! And only 50% of the attributes? It was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head—he went from a max-level character to a background extra! But at least he had the full Kamui. That was a bug-like skill. If used well, it was essentially damage immunity. This wasn't sitting at home watching cartoons; he knew the abilities in advance and could exploit them before others could figure out how to counter them.

In Naruto, intelligence was decisive in battle. That was why the pervy sage risked his life to gather intel on Pain. This information was a massive, invisible fortune for Lu Ming.

"Convert!" There didn't seem to be any other choice...

Suddenly, Obito felt a sharp pain in his eyes, though it came and went quickly! At the same time, he felt a clear change in his body. He could distinctly feel a flow of energy moving through him. Was this chakra? His small body contained immense power! He felt like he could punch a hole through the sky.

Is this what it feels like to be a superman?

He found a mirror. His eyes had turned into the unique red pupils of the Uchiha, with three scythes forming a shuriken-like pattern slowly rotating within the red iris!

Kamui!

As he activated his left eye, a visible spatial vortex twisted and distorted the air. The mirror was shredded and sucked into the Kamui dimension, followed by a throbbing sensation in his left eye!

With a thought, the Mangekyo Sharingan reverted to the three-tomoe state.

He looked around. The dust in the air was clearly visible. As he manipulated his consciousness, the second hand on the wall clock moved incredibly slowly.

This thing is great, but isn't the shelf life a bit short? He didn't have a brother, so he couldn't get the Eternal Mangekyo. Using it too much would lead to the same fate as Itachi. He couldn't exactly go around smashing half his body and becoming some half-human, half-ghost freak, could he?

He still had to find a way to get Hashirama cells.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." The whistling of the kettle interrupted Obito's thoughts. There was still time; he would plan slowly. With these eyes, he already had the ability to protect himself in this world. No need to rush.
