"Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke, please come in immediately!"
"Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun, it's your turn."
"Sasuke-kun, Iruka-sensei is calling you!"
"Sasuke-kun, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Waaah... Sasuke-kun, say something! Don't ignore me! Sniffle, sniffle..."
A coquettish, squeaky voice reached his ears. At the same time, he felt someone shaking his arm back and forth.
"Can you quit with that voice already?! You're giving me goosebumps! It's so early in the morning—can't a guy get some sleep?!"
Unable to bear the grating voice any longer, Sasuke's eyes snapped open.
But the scene before his eyes left him utterly bewildered.
Three classic philosophical questions involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I supposed to do?
He'd clearly been sleeping comfortably, all snuggled up in bed. How had he ended up in this place out of nowhere?
Unfamiliar surroundings...
Unfamiliar buildings...
And a circle of little brats all around him...
So where the hell was he?
Just as Sasuke's mind filled with question marks, an excited voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Ah! Sasuke-kun, you finally answered me. I knew you really cared about me!"
Although she had no idea what Sasuke-kun meant by "that voice," Sakura Haruno didn't care in the slightest. As long as Sasuke-kun talked to her, that was all that mattered. It meant Sasuke liked her too!
Sakura's heart felt all warm and sweet. At that moment, she'd even picked out names for their future children.
At the same time, she gripped his arm with both hands and squeezed it against her flat chest.
The tugging force on his arm brought Sasuke back to his senses.
He quickly pulled his arm free and turned to look.
He saw a little girl with a broad forehead and pink hair, who looked to be only six or seven years old.
The girl's face looked incredibly familiar. He was sure he'd seen her somewhere before.
Then he remembered that she'd just called him "Sasuke."
Holy crap! Could it be...
An utterly absurd thought came to mind!
I've transmigrated!
And I've transmigrated into the Naruto World, one of the Big Three shonen manga!
Well, transmigrating into the Naruto World wasn't exactly hard to accept!
But if he had to transmigrate, couldn't he have picked a better identity?
Why did it have to be Uchiha Sasuke?!
He was a thoroughly tragic character.
At first, he'd been like a puppet, with everything arranged for him by Itachi Uchiha.
After Itachi defeated him while holding back by an ocean's worth, he'd then been fooled by Obito Uchiha into working for him.
When the final battle of the Ninja World came, Sasuke had thought he'd finally get to shine. Instead, the Sage of Six Paths had to swoop in and hand him a cheat power-up. He was still being manipulated by others.
Looking back over Sasuke's life, he'd been nothing but a chess piece for others to move around as they pleased.
And that wasn't the only tragic part!
The timing of his transmigration was terrible, too!
Based on the original owner's memories, he could figure that the Night of the Massacre storyline was about to begin.
When that happened...
Sigh...
Just as Sasuke was lamenting his unfortunate transmigration, an electronic, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his head.
[Ding!] [Binding successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained the Myriad Realms Strongest Gacha System!] [Host, you've successfully transmigrated. You've been awarded 10 draws. Would you like to draw now?]
Sasuke couldn't help but feel delighted!
Just as they said, when God closed one door, he opened a window.
Even though he'd transmigrated into the tragic Sasuke, as long as he had a system, none of that mattered!
Without hesitation, Sasuke hurriedly said in his mind:
"System, quit stalling. Let's draw! Give me a ten-pull!"
[Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained one bottle of Your Godmother!] [Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained 100 Shuriken!] [Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained one life-size doll of Teacher Cang!] [Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained one Lao Ba's special hamburger!] [Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained 10 pairs of colorful briefs!] [Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained one yellow chick plushie!] [Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained one System Inventory with a capacity of 100,000 cubic meters!] [Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained one dose of Super Soldier Serum!] [Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained one dose of Super Soldier Serum!] [Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained the Peak Sasuke Uchiha Template!]
When he saw all the junk he'd drawn at first, Sasuke was completely stunned!
Was he actually destined to be unlucky or something?!
Lao Ba's special hamburger, 100 Shuriken, a life-size doll of Teacher Cang...
What the hell was he supposed to do with any of that?!
Fortunately, the system didn't let him down!
The 100,000-cubic-meter inventory he'd gotten later was pretty useful. It was an essential tool for killing people and taking their loot!
Then he'd gotten two doses of Super Soldier Serum... That stuff was amazing. It had turned Captain America from a weak, scrawny kid into a muscular hunk!
If the Super Soldier Serum had already made Sasuke happy, then the final reward, the "Peak Sasuke Uchiha Template," sent his adrenaline surging and left him positively thrilled!
With the power of Sasuke at his peak, the Night of the Massacre would be nothing to him!
Itachi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, lurking in the background and hoping to pick up the scraps—he could crush them all with a wave of his hand!
At that moment, the system's mechanical voice sounded again.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. The Peak Sasuke Uchiha Template has finished fusing!]
As the voice faded, Sasuke clearly felt waves of warmth rushing through his body.
His eyes in particular were infused with an immensely terrifying power, transforming them in an instant!
His left eye was a Six-Tomoe Rinnegan!
His right eye was an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
Of course, Sasuke didn't let anyone see either eye. He kept them looking ordinary!
After all, if he revealed them now, how could he surprise the Third Hokage and Danzō later?
In short, at that moment, Sasuke's little body had undergone a complete transformation!
"Strong! So strong! Is this the power of Sasuke at his peak?"
Sasuke was amazed.
At the same time, the corners of his mouth kept rising. He pressed a hand to his forehead, grinned, and burst into laughter!
"Ha ha ha... Ha ha ha!"
Maybe it was because of the influence of his original body, but whenever something made him this excited, he just couldn't help laughing out loud!
"Sasuke! Uchiha Sasuke! What are you laughing at?! Didn't you hear me telling you to come up and spar?"
Iruka's face had darkened!
He'd called Sasuke up so many times, and the kid still hadn't come up. Ignoring him like that was practically a challenge to his authority as a teacher!
The Uchiha Clan really was full of arrogant people!
Iruka couldn't help feeling a little annoyed with Sasuke.
"Iruka-sensei, I'm sorry! I just thought of something funny. I didn't mean to offend you."
Sasuke reined in his laughter.
Everything had happened so suddenly. First he'd inexplicably transmigrated, then he'd gone through the system's draws. He'd almost forgotten that they were in the middle of their first ninja sparring exercise!
It was his turn to fight a member of the Hyuga Clan named Hyuga Monza.
