"Run! The kyubi is out of control!"
"Everyone, don't panic. Follow us and evacuate to the shelter in an orderly manner."
"Third Squad, Fifth Squad, organize the civilians for evacuation. The rest of you, follow me to support the Fourth Hokage and stop the kyubi rampage!"
Amidst the chaos, Hiroshi gradually opened his eyes.
"What's going on? It's so noisy. Can't a guy get some proper sleep?"
Yawning, Hiroshi rubbed his bleary eyes.
Suddenly, Hiroshi who had been somewhat groggy, jolted awake!
'Wait... what's going on? Why is my hands so small?'
Hiroshi stared in shock at his hands—tiny and slightly chubby. These... these were clearly the hands of a child.
He looked up, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. The distinct Japanese architectural style only added to his confusion. What's happening? Is this... Japan? Wasn't I just sleeping at home? How did I end up in Japan after a nap??
"Hiroshi, there you are!"
Just then, a young couple ran toward him. The woman, visibly pregnant, scooped Hiroshi into her arms.
"You silly child, running off in a situation like this. You scared me to death! Come on, let's get to the shelter with Mommy."
The young man beside them spoke up, "With the kyubi on a rampage, the village is too dangerous. You two need to hide with the rest of the clan. I'm going to lead the others to support the Fourth Hokage."
Hiroshi stared at everything unfolding before him, listening to them talk about the Hokage and the kyubi. The couple's strange white eyes only deepened his bewilderment.
What... what's going on?! Did I... did I transmigrated? Before he could think further, the woman picked him up and joined the others, rushing towards what the shelter.
Cradled in her arms, Hiroshi took in the chaotic scene—panicked villagers, houses ablaze, the colossal kyubi in the distance, and ninjas leaping across rooftops, disappearing in an instant. He finally realized he had indeed transmigrated, and he was now in the world of Naruto! As this realization sank in, Hiroshi suddenly felt dizzy and clutched his head.
Hmm... is this... the memories of the original owner of this body? My name is Hyuga Hiroshi, the eldest son of the current head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi?
The memories were simple, not particularly useful since they belonged to a two-year-old child, Hiroshi quickly absorbed them all.
Wow, I'm Hyuga Hiashi's eldest son? I don't remember such a character in the original story. If that's the case, then the baby in her belly must be...
Hiroshi looked down at the young woman's heavily pregnant belly. The kyubi rampage happened after Naruto birth, and Hinata was born in the same year as Naruto. So, the baby she's carrying must be my future sister, Hinata... the future wife of the protagonist. Does that mean Naruto, the protagonist, is going to be my future brother-in-law???
Lost in thought, Hiroshi was carried into a massive mountain cave where many villagers had already gathered. This must be the shelter.
Once inside, Hiroshi continued to ponder, his expression deep in contemplation.
"Hmm... Although I don't know why i ended up in the Naruto world, since I'm here, I might as well think about what to do next."
As everyone knows, the Naruto world is one where bloodline determines everything. No matter how hard an ordinary person tries, they'll ultimately just end up as cannon fodder. They might hold their own in the early stages, but when the later stages arrive with Akatsuki and Otsutsuki running rampant, even the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages working together got beaten easily by Edo Tensei Madara.
Not to mention the Six Paths-level powerhouses and the monstrous Otsutsuki clan.
Hiroshi had a headache. This world is dangerous...
As for the Hyuga clan, although they are descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, and could be considered the royal family of the Naruto world in terms of bloodline, throughout the entire Naruto series, aside from the two members among the Konoha 12, the rest of the Hyuga clan were pretty much just background characters.
In contrast, the Uchiha clan was a breeding ground for talent. From Madara at the beginning to later figures like Kagami, Shisui, and Itachi, with the power of the Sharingan, they were capable of stirring up chaos across the entire shinobi world.
Although the Byakugan is also one of the three great dojutsu, when compared with the uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan who also a descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki, seemed like one was the biological child while the other was adopted from the roadside.
"What kind of situation is this?! If you're going to make me transmigrate, why not give me a stronger bloodline? The Byakugan... it's kind of underwhelming," Hiroshi complained inwardly.
"Ding. Detected that the host has successfully transmigrated to another world..."
"Scanning host's physical condition..."
"Detected that the host's soul has successfully merged with the body of a child from this world."
"Sign-in system binding in progress..."
"Ding... System binding successful. System holder: Hyuga Hiroshi."
Hiroshi, who had just come to terms with his transmigration to the Naruto world, had barely snapped out of his daze when he heard this series of notifications, leaving him stunned once again.
But then came the excitement! Is this... a system? Holy crap, my cheat ability has arrived! Haha, I knew it! If I was going to be transmigrated to another world, there's no way I wouldn't get something powerful.
Hiroshi inner turmoil shifted from confusion to excitement. A cheat ability! This is a must-have for any transmigrator. With a cheat ability, it means I can get stronger!
"System, are you there?"
"System i am your adorable host. If you're there, can you reply?"
"Uh, no reply... Is the system female? Then... System Mommy? Are you home? Your baby misses you."
Hiroshi kept calling out to the system in his mind, but after the initial notifications, the system fell silent.
"What's going on? Why isn't the system responding? Did I do something wrong? That can't be! I've read so many transmigration novels before, and this is how they always greeted the system! Could it be... has the system already abandoned me? No way, I'm so scared being alone in another world now"
"Ding, Host, I suggest you have some self-respect. This system knows your background. As a nearly thirty-year-old single otaku living in your mother basement, you're calling yourself a baby? Have you no shame?"
"Ah, System, you're still here! You scared me. I thought you had abandoned me," said Hiroshi, finally relieved to see the System still active.
As for the System's comment about him being a nearly thirty-year-old shut-in, Hiroshi chose to ignore it. Humph, who isn't a baby at heart? So what if I'm almost thirty? I'm still a baby—just a 300-month-old one!
"System, tell me quickly, what kind of abilities do you have?"
"Ding. This is a Sign-in system. You can Sign in once a day to receive various abilities or items, helping a loser like you become the ruler of all realms. The more significant the event during which you Sign in, the better the rewards. Currently, the Naruto world is in the midst of the Nine-Tails' rampage, which qualifies as a major event. Would you like to Sign in now?"
