In an ordinary residence within the Hyuga Branch Family in Konoha, five-year-old Tianyun Hyuga looked down at his tiny body with some dissatisfaction.
Tianyun Hyuga's body was that of a child, but his mind was that of an adult-and an adult who had possessed five wives at that-so he was extremely unhappy with his current physique, feeling that it hindered his actions.
Although Tianyun Hyuga was dissatisfied with his body, he had no choice but to accept it, because this was the system's arrangement and he had no way to resist.
Sitting on the steps in front of the door, Tianyun Hyuga watched the first rays of morning light disperse across the sky. Slowly, he accepted his body as well, and began to study the assistance the system had brought him.
In his mind, Tianyun Hyuga began to understand the rules of the new system, which was the Enhancement System: a system where everything in the world could be enhanced.
After pondering for a moment, Tianyun Hyuga chose to enhance his own physical strength within the system, wanting to see how the system would react.
"Please top up one million currency."
"Beep beep beep beep, host's personal currency is insufficient, Quest System is automatically activating..."
"Beep beep beep..., Quest System starting..., complete quests to enhance the body once."
"Quest: Annihilate one ordinary Chunin, enhance the body once."
Tianyun Hyuga stared blankly for a minute. This new system actually had two sets of rules-top-ups and quests-which could still be considered a pretty good system.
It was just that the quest required him to annihilate a Chunin, which put him in a bit of a difficult spot.
Tianyun Hyuga was only five years old right now, and not even up to the level of a Genin. How could it be possible for him to annihilate a Chunin? That was simply wishful thinking.
After thinking it over, Tianyun Hyuga sat by the steps and muttered to himself, "Forget it, going out to make money is still more reliable. He refuses to believe that with his experience of living two lives, he won't be able to earn one million currency."
"What one million currency? Tianyun, what do you need so much money for?"
Suddenly, a woman's calm questioning voice came from behind Tianyun Hyuga.
Without turning his head, Tianyun Hyuga knew that the other person was his cheap mom, because in this residence, only he and his mom Meicun Hyuga lived.
As for Tianyun Hyuga's father, the information in his mind told Tianyun Hyuga that his father, Leiyu Hyuga, had died on a mission three years ago, leaving behind only him and Meicun Hyuga, a widow.
Tianyun Hyuga didn't know how to answer Meicun Hyuga's question, because he wasn't the real Tianyun Hyuga. Instead, his soul had possessed Tianyun Hyuga's body last night. He wasn't familiar with Meicun Hyuga at all, knowing only that Meicun Hyuga was his mom.
If he spoke too casually, he might be discovered by Meicun Hyuga, and then things would get troublesome. After all, in the Naruto World, soul-possession abilities did exist.
Pondering for a moment, Tianyun Hyuga didn't look back. Raising his head to gaze at the shining red light in the sky, he replied to Meicun Hyuga behind him, "Mother, I was thinking about how to make money so we can live a better life. I figured a million should be about enough..."
As soon as Tianyun Hyuga finished speaking, he felt a pain at the top of his head, as if someone had punched him. Before he could turn around to check what was going on, he heard Meicun Hyuga's somewhat angry voice:
"What are you thinking about making money for?! Don't I give you allowance money to use?! If you could work as hard at cultivation as Neji Hyuga, I could take out all the family savings and let you use them."
"Uh..." Tianyun Hyuga felt quite helpless. He still hadn't sorted through the various pieces of information left behind by the original Tianyun Hyuga in his mind. Now, having been struck squarely by Meicun Hyuga's punch, he remembered from his memories that Meicun Hyuga was an extremely violent person.
He'd better not talk too much with Meicun Hyuga and instead quickly find a place to sort out the information in his head, lest he show flaws to others.
Thinking of this, Tianyun Hyuga stood up and ran toward the front gate. As he ran, he said, "Mother, I'm going out to stroll around first, and I'll be back for lunch at noon. Don't look for me."
"Brat, come back here first! You haven't eaten breakfast or done your morning training yet."
Hearing Meicun Hyuga's roar, Tianyun Hyuga ran even faster than before. Right now, he didn't want to run into any other outsiders, only thinking of finding a deserted place to properly figure out his current situation.
Even though Tianyun Hyuga had a system right now, he didn't have any money to enhance himself, which meant he had no combat power. If someone discovered he was abnormal, it would be extremely dangerous, so he had better figure out the situation first.
The Hyuga Clan was considered a top-tier clan in Konoha, so naturally it had a large area of residences. Although Tianyun Hyuga belonged to the Hyuga Branch Family, he also had a small patch of territory belonging to his own family. Thus, following his memories, Tianyun Hyuga ran to a small woods where he frequently played.
Naturally, there was no one inside the small woods at six in the morning. Tianyun Hyuga chose a tree that was relatively easy to climb, shinnied up it with a rustle of leaves, and found a decent spot to sit down, beginning to sort through the information that had popped into his head.
Tianyun Hyuga was too young, so the important information stored in his mind wasn't much; most of it had to do with playing games and trading small gifts with some little friends.
Among them, Tianyun Hyuga sorted out some important intelligence:
The time was the summer of Konoha Year 54. This could be considered a relatively peaceful period for Konoha, which Tianyun Hyuga was quite satisfied with. He still had time to improve himself; otherwise, if he popped out and immediately ran into a Shinobi World War or something, his little life would probably be hard to preserve.
Mother: Meicun Hyuga, a not-so-pretty, violent girl. She was probably because she grew up in the Hyuga Clan since childhood and was indoctrinated with the standard that strength is everything, leading her to become violent.
Meicun Hyuga's attitude toward Tianyun Hyuga was that she wanted Tianyun Hyuga to become as strong as his father, which was her ultimate goal.
Leiyu Hyuga: Tianyun Hyuga's father, originally a Hyuga Clan Jonin. Three years ago, after going out on a mission, he never returned. The report given by Konoha was that he had already sacrificed his life, and a fair amount of compensation money had also been given.
As for this father, Tianyun Hyuga didn't have much feeling about him, because three years ago he was only two years old and knew nothing at all about his father's affairs.
Tianyun Hyuga: Himself-just an ordinary five-year-old child. He was quite interested in playing and having fun, but had little interest in cultivation, only participating in the Hyuga Branch Family's daily afternoon drills.
Actually, Tianyun Hyuga didn't want to go to the Hyuga Branch Family's drills at all, but that was a training session all clan disciples had to attend. If he didn't go participate, his little friends would go participate, and then no one would play with him, so he had no choice but to tag along and train a bit.
Yirong Hyuga, Pingjing Hyuga, Huiju Hyuga: These three were his little friends who frequently played with him, all children between five and eight years old. Among them, Huiju Hyuga was a girl, and the other two were boys.
Lastly were matters concerning Konoha: Tianyun Hyuga didn't know much about Konoha, because he had grown up inside the Hyuga Clan since childhood, and the little friends he played with were mostly children of the Hyuga Clan, which left him without a particularly deep understanding of Konoha.
Inside Tianyun Hyuga's little head, all he knew was that it was currently Konoha Year 54, the Uchiha Clan was still around, and the rest of the matters were not very clear to him.
