How Proud You Were Back Then—What About Now?

In this era where the strong reigned supreme and human lives were worth less than grass, who was willing to be slaughtered?

But if they could not become ninja, then being slaughtered was their fate!

At that thought, many people ran out, unable to accept the reality.

At that moment, only a scattered few remained in the large dormitory.

What surprised Yang Ming was that Guan Shang, Jin Cou, and Jin Cou's younger sister, Jin Mengzi, were all still there.

The two boys had already passed the test. Their faces were full of excitement as they packed their belongings.

Jin Mengzi helped them from the side.

They would soon be leaving this place for a better environment, attending ninja school, receiving professional training, and becoming ninja in the future.

Thanks to Jin Cou, Jin Mengzi's fate had changed as well.

"Yuexia."

Jin Mengzi greeted Yang Ming politely when she saw him.

"Yuexia Ming. It's you."

Jin Cou and Guan Shang froze, then looked up to see Yang Ming.

As Jin Cou looked at Yang Ming, he seemed to remember something. He immediately sneered and spoke in a mocking tone.

"Yuexia Ming, I really didn't expect this. We came in together. Back then, how proud you were—you looked down on everyone. Among us orphans, you were the most arrogant. What a pity. From now on, we're no longer the same. In the future, you'll only ever be able to look up at me. Ah, what a shame!"

Jin Cou sneered as he looked at Yang Ming with utter contempt.

Many of them had entered together. Jin Cou, Guan Shang, and Yang Ming had all been brought back from the same village, and at first, they had all been the same, arriving at the orphanage together.

They studied and worked.

Among their group, Yang Ming had studied the hardest and possessed the best stamina.

Gong Lizi had once praised him.

Many people had been deeply jealous.

Jin Cou and Guan Shang were among them.

But after the test, their fates had immediately changed.

Now that they had the chance, they ruthlessly mocked Yang Ming.

"Brother, why bother with this? You've already been selected to become a ninja. Why keep dwelling on the past?"

Hearing this, Jin Mengzi immediately tugged at Jin Cou's clothes.

Jin Cou smiled. Though he did not care much, he did not continue. Clearly, he doted on his sister too much to go against her wishes.

"Yuexia, I'm sorry. Please don't take my brother's words to heart. He just has no filter."

After stopping Jin Cou, Jin Mengzi hurriedly apologized to Yang Ming.

Though they were siblings, their personalities were completely different.

Yang Ming nodded, silently returned to his bed, lay down, and began thinking about his future path.

As a transmigrator who had finally arrived in the world of Naruto, he naturally had things he wanted to do.

The first thing he wanted to do was, of course, go to Konoha and find Hinata!

Like most people, he liked Hinata. Since he had come to the world of Naruto, he could not let Hinata fall into someone else's hands. Naturally, he had to make her his.

According to the plot in his memories, Hinata had met Naruto when she was around five or six years old. One snowy winter morning, she had been bullied, and after meeting Naruto, she had fallen deeply in love with him.

Then he had to get there before Naruto!

But Konoha was not a place just anyone could enter.

As the foremost of the five great nations of the ninja world, it was filled with experts. Everyone entering or leaving the Land of Fire had their identity strictly checked.

But if he could cultivate to Kage level, then throughout the ninja world, aside from a few forbidden places, he could go anywhere.

I have to go to ninja school, then quickly complete missions and increase my strength. It would be best if I can reach Kage level. Only then will I truly gain a foothold in this world and possess the right to survive!

Yang Ming planned out his path in his heart.

Just as he was carefully making his plans, a group of people suddenly entered.

They were the children from the other orphanages.

Led by Gong Lizi, they gathered everyone together.

They were preparing to see Jin Cou, Jin Mengzi, and Guan Shang off.

From today onward, the three of them would no longer be the same as everyone else. From now on, they would walk a different path.
