"The clan leader has issued an order all clan ninjas are to report to the Security Department's main hall."
"Understood, I'll head there immediately."
He nodded calmly, responding while retrieving an empty can from the river.
The messenger ninja glanced at him in surprise before vanishing, quietly warning:
"Kid, the Third Kazekage is missing, the border tensions are escalating, and the Fourth Great Ninja War is on the horizon."
"You're just a genin; don't overestimate yourself by taking on missions beyond your capability."
The ninja frowned upon seeing what he was doing and muttered:
"As a member of the clan, you should be focusing on training to improve your strength, not wasting time on trivial tasks like this."
After the ninja left, a gleam of uncontrollable joy appeared in his eyes. He tossed the tool he was using to clean the riverbank and jumped onto the shore. Casually throwing the can into a sack on the riverbank, he exclaimed:
"Damn it, is the Fourth Great Ninja War finally about to start?"
"Finally, I can leave the village and face death!"
"Picking up trash, catching cats, babysitting, clearing the river..."
"These damn tasks, how am I supposed to die honorably?"
He sighed in relief, his hands trembling with excitement:
"I can finally go home!"
It's clear that he's no longer the original character from the ninja world history. He's a transmigrator.
But he's not an ordinary transmigrator.
He's a chosen one, selected by the will of the heavens!
What does "chosen one" mean?
He gets assigned a random talent and is sent to various chaotic worlds. Using his abilities and efforts, he aims to rewrite tragedies and push societies toward a happy ending.
Completing this mission would earn him a hefty reward and a return to his original world.
Failing or acting against the moral code would lead to being erased by the heavens when the story concludes.
Of course, as a legitimate heavenly entity, the system provides insurance. If he dies unexpectedly during his mission, he would receive compensation and return to his original world with a substantial sum (500 million).
The standard is no lower than the original history, and malicious suicide is not covered.
He's been waiting for this moment.
His original self lost his parents at a young age and was often bullied by clan members due to his mediocre talent. Until now, he's just a genin.
In the original story, there's no mention of such a person. He probably died in the Third Great Ninja War, the Nine-Tails' attack, or the massacre.
Essentially, he's cannon fodder.
And where does a cannon fodder end up?
On the battlefield!
As long as he goes to the battlefield, he'll get stabbed to death.
Even if the heavenly insurance company is strict, they'll have to pay the premium!
Coincidentally, it's just before the Third Great Ninja War.
With the Third Kazekage gone, Sunagakure is about to declare war on Konoha, escalating the conflict.
From here, various battles will ensue.
The Battle of the Green Valley Reef!
The Yunlei Gorge Invasion!
The Battle of One Against Ten Thousand, the Third Raikage's Finale!
The Battle of the Land of Rain, the Outer Path Gedo Statue, Dragon Soul Reaping!
The Battle of the Kamui Bridge!
The Battle of Kikyo Mountain!
These legendary battles!
The most brutal wars to date!
All the whispered conspiracies and the greedy lines on the map will erupt during this period!
He thought, with so many classic battles, if he just joins one, he can die clearly as cannon fodder!
Even if he survives by some miracle, there are still the Nine-Tails' attack and the massacre!
Of course, he didn't consider rewriting history to be a chosen hero.
After all, there are many regrets in the original story.
But upon reflection, he realized that with his abilities, trying to achieve a perfect ending like Naruto is almost a dream.
Naruto had talents, support from his father, ancestors, and various boosts, yet he almost failed against the world's top powers.
And he's just a weakling who can't even activate the Sharingan.
He can't trace his lineage to obtain Indra's or Six Paths' powers.
With his knowledge, he can't develop advanced technology or become a scientific genius.
What can he fight with?
He doesn't have the cheat codes like Naruto.
