Must Have Made a Mistake?

"Here, Pervy Sage, this is the newest chapter of Silver Vase Plum."

"Shh, don't make a noise. These ones are really fair and really big! I have to hurry up and gather material, sacrificing myself for art—I have no regrets!"

A middle-aged man with a full head of white hair peered lewdly outside the bathhouse, drooling a long string of saliva. "Yosh, yosh, I have inspiration again. The Rasengan should be spun just like this!"

"Sigh!"

A boy of about thirteen let out a helpless sigh, shook his head, and looked at Jiraiya with a deadpan expression. "If you don't want it, I'm leaving, then!"

"Don't, don't, hey..."

"Ah, pervert!"

"Don't hit, don't hit—if you're going to hit, at least put your pants on first! Ow, not the face."

Three minutes later, battered and bruised and looking like a pig's head, Jiraiya caught up to the boy and chuckled. "Kid, aren't you being a bit too disloyal? No matter what, you're still my student. Your master is sacrificing himself for art—how come you ran faster than a rabbit?!"

"You're sacrificing yourself for art, so shouldn't I be writing for you?"

The boy chuckled, taking out a copy of Silver Vase Plum and waving it in his hand. "Old rules, three-seven split on the royalties. You take three, I take seven!"

"Hehehe, deal!"

Jiraiya wasn't angry at all. He took the Silver Vase Plum and started reading it with gusto, getting more excited the more he read, his face turning redder and redder until he finally exclaimed in elation, "Zhi Ge, you brat are truly a talent! This novel is written brilliantly, absolutely brilliantly—it's sheer stupidity that the Uchiha Clan didn't want you!"

"Don't bring them up to me!"

The previously chuckling Zhi Ge's face suddenly darkened, and Jiraiya hurriedly shut his mouth.

Zhi Ge was a great god-tier author in his past life—well, the kind who wrote suggestive stories. The people who read his books were all handsome guys and gorgeous girls. Once, when he wrote a non-suggestive story, his readers mailed him a bomb, and as a result, he was finished. By a twist of fate, he came to the ninja world and became an infant of the Uchiha Clan.

Yet as an ordinary person, he possessed no Bloodline Limit at all. He was called trash by the Uchiha Clan, and in the end, he was driven out of it. To protect him, his parents were even brutally murdered by Uchiha companions, who stole their Sharingan.

And he had watched with his own eyes as his parents died right in front of him.

That kind of pain was agonizing, tearing at his heart.

Zhi Ge still retained vivid memories of it.

The Uchiha even wanted to silence him, and had it not been for the coincidence of God Itachi coming to slaughter the clan, he would have been done for long ago.

Zhi Ge didn't know whether Itachi had let him go on purpose or simply hadn't seen him.

In any case, he survived, and was later taken in by Jiraiya, following the Pervy Sage along on his research trips all that way.

"Damn, this passage is brilliant! So you can enter from this kind of posture, too?"

Jiraiya's eyes widened. After finishing a chapter, he looked thoroughly unsatisfied. "You tell me, isn't Heaven jealous of talented people? Your artistic cells are so strong, yet you don't have a shred of chakra. It's a damn pity."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhi Ge and said earnestly, "I've taught you all the taijutsu I should. If you are certain you want to walk the path of a ninja, I'll introduce you to someone, though he's in Konoha!"

"Might Guy? The Blue Beast of Konoha!" Zhi Ge smiled faintly, the thick-browed, big-eyed uncle flashing in his mind.

"Mn! When it comes to taijutsu, he counts as a talent," Jiraiya said with rare seriousness. "Only, even though he only knows taijutsu, he still has chakra in his body. Someone like you, who doesn't have a single drop of chakra..."

At that, Jiraiya stopped and didn't go on.

Zhi Ge smiled faintly and laughed at himself. "Yeah, I don't even have a damn system. Looks like in this lifetime I'm just going to have to write books and idle the days away. Fortunately, the people who read my books make a fortune."

"Ding-dong!"

"Detected newest Silver Vase Plum available to read. Pirate Quest System auto-generating, loading host!"

"Host Uchiha: Zhi Ge, age thirteen, chakra: 0!"

"System loading complete. Minor Novelist task complete!"

"Novice gift pack sent and completed!"

A series of electronic chimes suddenly rang in Zhi Ge's mind, leaving him frozen in place.

Damn it!

Damn it!!

Damn it!!!

Thirteen years, a full thirteen years, and the damn system had finally arrived!

Zhi Ge was thrilled on the spot.

Only... I'm in Naruto, so what the hell is giving me a Pirate system?

Luffy fighting Naruto?

Or Zoro and Sasuke hacking at each other?

That wasn't the main point. The main point was, what did it mean by detected the newest Silver Vase Plum available to read?

As a system, you damn pervert are lustful too?

sly!

You're truly sly!

Zhi Ge rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything for the moment and hurriedly opened the novice gift pack.

"Ding-dong!"

"Novice gift pack opened!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Rubber-Rubber Fruit!"

"New system quest unlocked: Pass the first round of the Chunin Exams!"

"???"

Zhi Ge was slightly stunned, then his eyes widened as he jumped up in excitement.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!

It was actually the Rubber-Rubber Fruit!

Was this freaking just the Rubber-Rubber Fruit?

This was Sun God Nika, right here!

I, Zhi Ge, wrote books for readers my whole life and taught countless postures—the heavens have finally opened their eyes! I'm freaking... going to be the protagonist and take over the ninja world, haha!

Zhi Ge was incomparably excited. With a thought, the energy of the Rubber-Rubber Fruit was absorbed directly by him, and then he suddenly discovered that a certain spot could grow or shrink, become large or small at will.

He suddenly had a daring idea.

"Kid, you stinky brat!"

Jiraiya looked at the dazed Zhi Ge before him, thinking he was overly saddened, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, not being able to become a ninja is nothing. From now on, you'll be in charge of sacrificing yourself for art, and I'll protect you!"

"Pervy Sage!"

At that very moment, Zhi Ge suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Jiraiya with an excited expression, and uttered something astonishing: "I want to go back to Konoha to take part in the Chunin Exams."

"Oh!"

"What?!"

"Damn it, kid, you've lost your mind, haven't you?"

Zhi Ge marched toward Konoha all the way, yet Jiraiya hadn't followed.

Originally, Zhi Ge really wanted to persuade Jiraiya to return to Konoha Village, because after all, this generation's Chunin Exams happened to be the one with Naruto and the others, and Orochimaru was bound to show up.

The Third Hokage also died during this one!

He wanted Jiraiya to come back and turn the tide, but in the end he couldn't persuade him.

This guy kept saying that for the sake of Amegakure beauties' lower halves, and for the sake of art, he had to stay in Amegakure.

With no other choice, he could only return to the village by himself.

Five days later, after a separation of many years, Zhi Ge returned once again to the gates of Konoha Village.

Looking at the gates of Konoha, Zhi Ge felt a myriad of emotions stirring in his heart.

Back then, right here, he had witnessed with his own eyes his parents die a tragic death at the hands of their own clansmen, their eyeballs gouged out while they were still alive.

This hatred was irreconcilable.

Yet God Itachi had accidentally avenged him.

As for hatred!

Toward Konoha, he didn't have any particular hatred.

But there was one person whom he had to kill on this trip back!

Danzo Shimura!

Why would the Uchiha Clan target him? Why would they kill his parents? Was it truly just because he possessed no Bloodline Limit and was trash?

Yes, but not entirely!

It was because Danzo Shimura was fanning the flames!

Calling him a harbinger of bad luck, a bringer of chaos!

In the end, the Nine-Tails attacked the village, and many of the Uchiha Clan died tragic deaths.

Danzo Shimura appeared once more, claiming that all of this happened because this harbinger of bad luck was among them.

Better to believe it than not; the cruel Uchiha Clan wanted to kill him, wanted to kill his family!

Even though the Uchiha Clan had perished!

Danzo Shimura was still alive!

Sooner or later, he would definitely kill him!
