October 31, 2018, Shibuya.
"Holy shit! What the hell are those things?!"
Inside the subway station, Yue Liusi stared at several oddly shaped, even somewhat disgusting, twisted creatures nearby and couldn't help letting out a low cry.
How had the whole world changed in the blink of an eye?!
Had I transmigrated? And in my own body, at that?
You've got to be kidding.
Come to think of it, the way he had transmigrated was pretty unusual too. Getting hit by a Dayun truck was a classic way to transmigrate, but could someone tell him what getting hit by one on the eighteenth floor was supposed to mean?
God only knew how he had felt when he looked up beside the window and saw a Dayun truck flying toward him.
Sorry I didn't let you have your fill, Dayun.
Before Yue Liusi could adjust, the monsters nearby suddenly charged toward him with bizarre strides!
The way they bared their fangs and flailed their claws sent chills down his spine!
"Damn it! Why are they suddenly coming after me?!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Yue Liusi turned and ran!
How would staying be any different from waiting to die?
But after running a couple of steps, he suddenly realized something.
He didn't know the way!
And the monsters behind him had already caught up. Despite their contorted running postures, they were incredibly fast and were about to sink their teeth into him.
For a moment, Yue Liusi felt a little hopeless.
Am I really going to die here?
What a disgrace to transmigrators everywhere.
"Fuck! Which bastard screwed me over?! Delivery included, survival not guaranteed?!"
How the hell did I even transmigrate?!
Dead on arrival? Seriously?
At that critical moment, a clear chime rang out in Yue Liusi's mind, sounding like music from heaven.
[Strong desire to survive detected in host. Hokage System updated.] [Starter pack issued: Three Basic Techniques, Basic Taijutsu, Explosive Tags ×2, Shuriken ×5, Kunai ×5]
Hokage System? Does that mean this is the Shinobi World?
No, that's not right. This is clearly a subway station. Does the Shinobi World have those?
Could this be the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations era? That doesn't feel quite right either...
But his current situation left him no time to think. Staying alive came first!
As the starter pack was issued, a flood of information entered his mind. Facing the monster lunging at him with bared teeth, he instinctively raised his hand and threw a punch!
The monster staggered back several steps, and Yue Liusi's eyes lit up.
So this is muscle memory?
But he couldn't relax yet. The commotion had already attracted more monsters, and they were surrounding him!
Just then, the system panel finally refreshed.
[Main quest: Defeat the Two-Faced Four-Armed Ōtsutsuki and cleanse the Six Eyes Uchiha who betrayed his clan.] [Quest 1: Become a Genin. Reward: One-Tomoe Sharingan.] [Quest 2: Extract chakra and use a C-rank ninjutsu once. Reward: Basic Chakra Control.] [Quest 3: Defeat one Genin. Reward: C-rank ninjutsu, Phoenix Flower Jutsu.]
The Sharingan! Ninjutsu!
Yue Liusi was delighted, but once he read the quests clearly, his face instantly darkened again. He was utterly speechless.
Never mind the first quest—he had no idea where to start. The second required him to complete Mission Three first.
As for defeating a Genin?
I'm about to die here, okay? Where am I supposed to find you a Genin?
Kunai in hand, Yue Liusi used the Three Basic Techniques and Basic Taijutsu to hold them off while retreating toward what looked like an exit nearby.
But with so many enemies, danger lurked at every turn.
"Don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!"
Just then, a voice came from a short distance behind him. Yue Liusi hurriedly looked up and saw a young figure rushing over.
Behind him followed a leisurely white-haired woman and a child.
Yue Liusi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Great! Help is here!
But why do these people look a little familiar?
Especially the one in front. A red hood, short pink hair, a black uniform...
"Watch out!"
The newcomer suddenly cried out. Yue Liusi quickly turned his gaze and saw that a monster had somehow reached his side, its slender, humanoid arm already within inches of him!
Yue Liusi's pupils contracted, and he instinctively pulled out a paper tag!
It was none other than an Explosive Tag the system had given him!
Boom!
With a deafening blast, fierce flames erupted in an instant, engulfing both the monster and Yue Liusi.
Itadori's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly dodged away.
Mei Mei had told him there was still an ordinary person here, which was why he had rushed over to save him. And this was supposed to be an ordinary person?
What kind of ordinary person whipped up grenades by hand?
"Phew... thank goodness..."
Yue Liusi appeared beside Itadori. At the crucial moment, he had used the Substitution Technique to escape the Explosive Tag's blast radius.
A second later, and he would have died with it.
Just then, a notification suddenly sounded.
[Quest 3 completed.]
Huh?
Yue Liusi froze, then stared wide-eyed at the monster twitching on the ground.
You're telling me that's a Genin?
That's a ninja?
You're kidding, right?
But the system's reward was real.
"My name's Yuji Itadori. I didn't expect you to be a Jujutsu Sorcerer, but you're a little weak. Leave this place to us."
Itadori introduced himself first, looking at Yue Liusi enthusiastically. He had taken the Explosive Tag for his Innate Technique.
Behind him, Mei Mei and Ui Ui were watching Yue Liusi with interest.
The former was a little surprised.
That's not right. I didn't sense any Cursed Energy fluctuations from him earlier. How did he suddenly become a Jujutsu Sorcerer?
How strange.
Hearing this, Yue Liusi also sighed in relief.
"Itadori, huh..."
Wait!
His eyes flew wide as he realized something.
A Jujutsu Sorcerer? Yuji Itadori?
"What did you say your name was?!"
Yuji Itadori?
Isn't he the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen?
Isn't this supposed to be the Shinobi World?
His thoughts in disarray, Yue Liusi immediately pressed on with another question.
"Where are we?"
Itadori was puzzled. This guy didn't even know where he was?
Still, he answered honestly.
"Shibuya."
As the word reached his ears, Yue Liusi fell silent for a moment.
Shibuya, Yuji Itadori... then these two must be Mei Mei and Ui Ui. Those figures, those faces-there's no mistaking them.
That means this is the Shibuya Incident!
What the hell? Isn't this the Hokage System? Why am I here fighting Sukuna?
Yue Liusi sucked in a sharp breath.
He finally understood who the Ōtsutsuki and Ōtsutsuki in the main quest referred to. Weren't they Sukuna and Satoru Gojo?
Fighting Sukuna is fine, but didn't people online say we'd get to control Satoru Gojo ourselves?
Controlling Sukuna to fight Satoru Gojo would work too!
How am I supposed to fight with practically no stats or skills?
But it looks like there's still time to grow stronger...
"Your strength should barely qualify you for Grade 3. Go help with rescue efforts on the perimeter. That's where you belong."
Mei Mei assessed Yue Liusi's strength, then assigned him a task quite naturally.
After all, in her eyes, any Jujutsu Sorcerer who came to Shibuya was on their side, even if she didn't remember Yue Liusi.
It couldn't be helped. Not remembering a low-level Jujutsu Sorcerer was perfectly normal.
[Quest 1 completed.]
