The classroom was filled with laughter and chatter. Satoru Hyūga was in a complete panic. He was panicking like hell.
He saw a man with a monk's haircut asking the students to introduce themselves. As the students took turns introducing themselves, waves of laughter and applause kept ringing out.
Wasn't I just working overtime? How the hell did I transmigrate into the world of Naruto? Judging from the situation, it seems to be the first class of the new semester.
Satoru Hyūga looked around the classroom. After seeing quite a few familiar faces, he panicked even more.
The guy in the first row, with thick hair, proudly mentioned his Hokage father during his self - introduction. He seemed to be the future bounty measurement unit in the underground black market. His head was traded for a bounty by a certain top - notch money - grubber.
The arrogant white - haired dude in the middle of the second row, wearing a black mask. If he remembered correctly, he was the future chakra measurement unit, Eida.
Not long after, his father committed suicide. He also lost an eye during the Third Shinobi World War, and he even killed his best friend with his own hands. Anyway, everything related to him seemed to end badly. It was so tragic...
The dumbass teenager behind him, wearing goggles and sporting the Uchiha clan emblem on his clothes, boasted about becoming the Hokage during his self - introduction. He was the future big boss in the ninja world and one of the masterminds behind the scenes. A ruthless guy who wanted to overthrow the entire world just because of a puppy love. In the end, he died without even a trace left!
Satoru Hyūga shifted his gaze to the guy who was currently introducing himself.
That guy's teeth were glistening like a flashlight, and he kept hollering about youth. He seemed to be the only commoner who dared to defy fate. He almost kicked his way to the grand finale with one move. His dancing skills won high praise from Madara, and he was even given the title of the strongest Gitai.
But it was all for nothing. He would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
As for the other classmates, Satoru Hyūga didn't know many of them. They were all cannon fodder among cannon fodder, and leeks among leeks - easy pickings. I'm afraid a large number of them would be cut down during the Third Shinobi World War a few years later. Not many would live until the grand finale.
The more Satoru Hyūga sized them up, the more panicked he became.
If he were from the main family of the Hyūga clan, that would be fine. After all, he'd have a bunch of branch family lackeys to safeguard him. As long as he didn't do something stupid, he might even make it to the grand finale. But according to the memories of his original self, not only was he from the branch family, but both of his Mother and Father were also dead. He was the least favored type in the Hyūga clan.
Oh no, it's all over.
This is a nightmarish start.
Satoru Hyūga looked as if he had lost all hope.
You said you'd transmigrate, but why did you have to end up in the world of Hokage where human lives are as cheap as grass? And to make matters worse, the crucial timeline is the class with the highest death rate before the Third Shinobi World War.
The Battle of Kanna bi Bridge, the Battle of Kikyo Mountain... Satoru Hyūga didn't even want to think about how he could possibly survive.
Just when Satoru Hyūga felt that life was hopeless, a voice snapped him back to reality.
"Satoru Hyūga, it's your turn to introduce yourself."
Satoru Hyūga looked up and saw the homeroom teacher, Fujino Daikichi, grinning at him. The other classmates in the class also focused their gazes on him.
Seeing this, Satoru Hyūga had no choice but to stand up reluctantly.
"My name is Satoru Hyūga. I'm from the Hyūga clan. My favorite eats are ramen and grilled meat. My dream is... My dream is..."
Satoru Hyūga hesitated for a bit and then said after some thought.
"To live until the grand finale."
The classroom fell silent immediately. Everyone looked at Satoru Hyūga with surprised and hesitant gazes. Living until the grand finale? What the heck is that?
Fujino Daikichi forced a few awkward laughs and scratched his sparse hair.
"It seems like Satoru Hyūga really loves reading manga. The grand finale is only a thing in manga. I hope that in future studies, Satoru Hyūga won't be so into manga."
"Sure."
Satoru Hyūga replied casually and sat down. He clearly remembered that not many of his classmates in this class would live until the grand finale.
After the remaining few minor characters finished their self-introductions, Fujino Daikichi cleared his throat and said, "Alright, students, the back-to-school self-introduction session is over. Now it's time for the first class. Please open your textbooks, *Inheriting the Will of Fire*."
Satoru Hyūga flipped through the red textbook on the table. The whole book was full of praise for the Will of Fire, and it was completely useless.
At the podium, Fujino Daikichi was passionately expounding on the Will of Fire, and most of the students below were listening intently.
However, Satoru Hyūga was fidgety. He flipped a few more pages and stared at them for a long while before finally making out two words between the lines — pyramid scheme.
Did I end up in a pyramid scheme brainwashing center?
Is this Konoha Village's political propaganda?
Where are the guiding principles, the ideological program, and the detailed standards and measures?
The whole book kept promoting the idea that everyone was like a family, that they should protect the children, safeguard the village, and sacrifice everything and dedicate themselves to the village.
The thing is... I'm only six years old, and they want me to go to the battlefield and sacrifice myself? Why don't you do it instead?
When Satoru Hyūga watched the anime in his past life, he didn't notice a thing. It was only when he truly transmigrated into it and became an insider that he realized how absurd it was.
After the initial panic, Satoru Hyūga gradually calmed down. After all, there was an adult soul in this body, and his experience and thinking were beyond what a young child could match.
In the classroom, Fujino Daikichi's voice reciting the Will of Fire was still loud, but Satoru Hyūga had already shifted his gaze out the window. He was frantically coming up with future plans in his mind. Today was his first day at the ninja academy and the start of his ninja journey. He had to start a meticulous training plan.
For his dream, or rather... goal of living until the grand finale.
Creak!
Satoru Hyūga pushed open the creaking wooden door. What came into sight was an old courtyard. This was the house left to him by his Mother and Father. Although the space wasn't big, it had everything he needed.
The whole day's courses at the ninja academy were full of useless stuff like the explanation of the Will of Fire. There wasn't a single practical combat class or ninjutsu class that Satoru Hyūga was hoping for.
However, after a whole day, he had fully absorbed the memories of his former self.
He had no memories of his mother. It seemed that she died during childbirth while giving birth to him. His father was a guard of the main family and an elite chunin. He died during a mission to safeguard the main family. Thanks to this, he was able to inherit his father's house as a young child and obtain the qualification to attend the ninja academy.
Otherwise, in the Hyūga clan where competition is fierce and the system is strict, the inheritance left by his father would be taken back by the family.
About half a year ago, he was branded with the caged bird and completely became a member of the branch family. His future trajectory would probably be the same as his father's, becoming a bodyguard for the main family and gloriously sacrificing himself to protect the main family.
Headache...
Satoru Hyūga rubbed his forehead. Not all branch family fathers were the heads of the branch family. With an uncle being the head of the main family, his monthly living allowance was only 1,000 ryo. After covering basic living expenses, there wasn't much left for his training.
Some guy who kept shouting about breaking fate didn't have to worry about food and drink and enjoyed the best treatment in the Hyūga clan. But more members of the branch family, like him, were struggling to scrape by.
Sighing, Satoru Hyūga dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind. Now wasn't the time to think about those things. After a full day of classes, his stomach was already growling with hunger.
He looked through the remaining ingredients in the kitchen and decided to give himself a treat.
Life was already pathetic enough; he couldn't let his stomach suffer too.
Just as he was about to pick up the iron wok to wash it, something unexpected happened. The moment his palm got close to the body of the wok, the body of the wok suddenly started shaking uncontrollably. At the same time, all the metal items in the kitchen were vibrating continuously, as if they were playing a wild symphony of metal.
Satoru Hyūga stood there dumbfounded. It was as if something exploded in his mind and then converged into a blue-purple starry vortex. There was a line of small words below.
Electromagnetic Force: lv1. 2,000 experience points until the next level.
