Feng Xun

In the fiery sunset, the autumn wind danced, swirling up layers of fallen leaves.

It painted this strongest ninja village into a brilliant, gorgeous scroll.

At this moment, a little boy with hair as black as ink, a piece of dogtail grass clenched between his teeth, was comfortably lying on the cozy lawn, showing no inclination to diligently practice ninjutsu like other children.

"Xun, I knew you'd be out here!"

Just as the boy was still leisurely enjoying the afternoon sun, a golden-haired boy walked over to his side.

The boy looked to be around eight or nine years old. Although he seemed very small, he gave people a refreshing feeling like a gentle breeze, yet at this moment, his expression was somewhat displeased.

"Why are you ditching class again? When I got there, Nobi-sensei was acting like he'd gone crazy looking for you."

"I don't have the aptitude to become a ninja anyway, so slacking off a bit isn't going to hurt. Besides, Minato-bro, shouldn't you be going to keep the sister-in-law company?"

The black-haired boy sat up from the grass and shrugged.

"Uh, Kushina isn't your sister-in-law, stop talking nonsense." Minato explained, his face flushing and looking slightly flustered.

Seeing his older brother acting so pure, the black-haired teenager secretly sighed in his heart.

I'd like to think I'm talking nonsense, but the future is just like this. Not only will you marry Kushina, but you'll also have a child named Naruto Uzumaki and a grandson named Boruto Uzumaki.

As for why he knew it so clearly, it was actually because he was a miserable transmigrator. His identity from his past life no longer mattered since he was an orphan to begin with, and now, he was a child adopted by the Namikaze Household, as well as the younger brother of the golden-haired boy right before him.

As for why he called himself miserable?

If you fell asleep slumped over your desk while reading Dragon Ball, and then woke up to find yourself in the Naruto World, you would feel just as miserable.

However, none of that mattered. Most importantly, it had already been seven years since he transmigrated, and during these seven years, not only had he failed to unearth any golden finger essential to transmigrators.

Even until now, he still couldn't extract the slightest bit of chakra. Meanwhile, the boy beside him had successfully extracted his very first wisp of chakra four years ago.

Of course, it was undeniable that the other party was a true genius, and the kind who would save the world. After all, without him, there would be no subsequent Naruto Uzumaki.

Standing up, Feng Xun put his hands behind his back and lectured the boy in front of him with a preachy tone: "Minato-bro, it won't do for you to always be so passive. You need to take the initiative, and use your passionate love to reform that violent little pepper."

"I-Is that so?" Minato's mouth twitched slightly.

For some reason, Feng Xun suddenly felt that the look the other party was casting his way was filled with sympathy.

What is it?

Just as Feng Xun was feeling puzzled and bewildered, an "affectionate" greeting suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Oh! The violent little pepper you were just talking about, wouldn't happen to be me, would it?"

The hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. Feng Xun stiffly turned around, and upon seeing that cascade of red hair behind him, he couldn't help but reveal a smile even uglier than crying.

"S-Sister-in-law, what I said just now definitely wasn't you. S... Speaking of which, I was just saying that I was dreaming, dreaming that the violent little pepper turned into my sister-in-law."

"Oh?" Kushina's expression grew even uglier.

Crap!

Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Feng Xun hurriedly changed his tune: "No, no, I misspoke. What I meant was that in my dream I discovered my future sister-in-law and the violent little pepper have nothing to do with each other."

Hearing this, Minato's eyelids twitched, and his feet took a few imperceptible steps backward.

As for Kushina, she was so furious she laughed instead, her hands tightly clenched together as if she were about to teach this black-haired boy right before her why the flowers were so red in the next second.

"Tell me, do you want your left cheek or your right cheek?"

"Huh?"

Feng Xun didn't react for a moment.

"I mean, do you want your left cheek to kiss my fist, or your right?" Kushina explained with a beaming smile.

"Um, can I not choose?" Feng Xun squeezed out a smile he thought was still fairly radiant, and said cautiously.

"Of course you can, then let's do both cheeks together!"

Just as her voice fell, a pair of somewhat pinkish fists suddenly magnified rapidly in his vision.

Too late to beg for mercy, Feng Xun quickly arched his body. After dodging the girl's fist, he did a rolling-donkey maneuver and hid behind Minato, who had remained silent the entire time.

"Minato-bro, sister-in-law is going to beat up her brother-in-law, you've really got to step in and manage this!"

Seeing Feng Xun hide behind Namikaze Minato, Kushina said angrily, "Sissy, move aside, or I'll beat you up along with him."

"Kushina, Xun is still young, why don't you let him off this time?" Namikaze Minato looked at the girl in front of him, then glanced at his younger brother behind him, saying somewhat hesitantly.

They always say only mothers are good in this world, but I see clearly that older brothers are the best. Feng Xun thought, feeling deeply moved inside.

Unfortunately, this touching sentiment of his was soon tossed to the winds.

The girl put her hands on her hips and said aggressively, "Step aside. If you try to stop me again, don't ever talk to me again."

"Uhm..." Minato hesitated for a moment, then shifted his body slightly to the side.

"Minato-bro?" Feng Xun stared with his dark eyes, finding it hard to believe.

"Sorry, Xun, I'll definitely make it up to you later." Whispering this to his younger brother, Namikaze Minato moved away from in front of him.

Bro, you can't play dirty like this! You're the future Fourth Hokage, you know! Can you not surrender to evil forces so quickly, and especially when the target of your surrender is your future wife?

Alas, no matter how much he roared in his heart now, he still had to face the tragic reality.

Already suppressing her anger to the limit, Kushina walked toward Feng Xun step by step with a gloomy face, which made him very worried about whether he would still be able to see tomorrow's sun.

Goodbye, brother Minato; goodbye, parents who raised me for seven years; goodbye, yet-unfamiliar Naruto World!

Hugging the resolve of a heroic martyrdom, Feng Xun slowly closed his eyes.

Yet the anticipated pain failed to arrive after a long time. Not only that, but Feng Xun felt as though the chirping of insects, which had been somewhat noisy just moments before, had now fallen into silence as if they had all gone into hibernation.

What is going on?

With doubt, Feng Xun reopened both eyes.

"Where is this?" Opening his eyes once more, he found absolute blackness before him, a profound darkness that made him feel a wave of panic. "Hey, is anyone here? Brother Minato? Kushina, are you guys there? If you are, make a sound, won't you."

However, the only response Feng Xun received was a cold, metallic voice.

Host's physical condition is good; Dragon Ball System binding commencing: 1%... 5%...

Dragon Ball System?

Plunged in the darkness, Feng Xun blinked. Could it be that my cheat has come online? Or am I about to be transmigrated back to the Dragon Ball World?

Clutching seven parts anticipation and three parts panic, Feng Xun waited quietly in the darkness as the cold metallic voice counted up to one hundred percent.

The originally pitch-black environment suddenly emitted light, and the dazzling radiance caused Feng Xun, who had been in the darkness for a long time, to involuntarily close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he discovered a palm-sized virtual screen appearing before him.
