25 years of Konoha.
In the Uchiha clan territory, a remote courtyard far away from the core of the family.
A boy about 5 years old sat on the corridor of his courtyard, looking at the round fan family emblem on the wall not far away and fell into deep thought.
His name is Uchiha Renjiro, and he has two surnames. His surname was Ken in his previous life, but now he uses Uchiha.
He is a time traveler!
He died in an accident in his previous life, but his soul with his memories traveled to the world of ninja and was reborn as a 5-year-old child.
The boy was an orphan, his father a Chūnin of Uchiha, who died on a mission.
Although his mother was also a member of the Uchiha clan, she was not a ninja, but a frail and sickly woman. When she heard the bad news about her husband, the tremendous pressure of raising a child alone caused her to collapse, and she unfortunately passed away not long after.
Leaving behind his 5-year-old child, who had just turned 5, he struggled to survive for three months relying on occasional relief meals delivered to his home. Then, the time traveler Wang Renjiro took over his body!
Although he took over the body, it still couldn't change its physical condition. He was a child who had been hungry for a long time, with a skinny body. Even if he replaced it with a new soul, an adult's soul, it couldn't change the fact that this body was almost exhausted!
The only thing that could keep him alive was food!
When he first arrived in this world, he found that there was nothing edible at home except some water!
After his mother passed away, the poor child ate up all the edible food in the house, but even so, he was unwilling to leave the house and face the outside world!
The original body had reached its limit. Even though he drank several sips of water, it still couldn't give his body the strength to leave here. He fell in the corridor of the courtyard!
"Are you frightened and withdrawn because of your parents' death? Why don't you leave the house? Why didn't you listen to your mother and live a good life?"
Renjiro not only took over the body, but also more or less inherited some of the original owner's memories.
Although Renjiro had a strong desire to survive at this time, his body had reached its limit. He didn't even have the strength to walk out of the house, and his unwilling eyes gradually dimmed.
"Whatever. Dying once or twice doesn't make any difference. Maybe I can wake up again in the next world!"
As time passed, even though it was noon in midsummer and the sun was shining brightly above his head, Renjiro felt cold and dark!
Just when his consciousness was about to blur and darkness was about to cover him, a cold voice temporarily woke him up!
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!"
As the voice sounded, a simply packaged lunch box was placed at the door. The visitor had no intention of coming in. After putting down the things, he turned around and left, cursing.
"What a shabby place you live in! It takes me half an hour to go back and forth... Is this how people can survive in this scorching heat? Can't they just go to the relief shelter and get their lunch? I have so many things to do, how can I have the time to run back and forth? I'm never coming here again..."
The cold words failed to defeat Renjiro, but instead allowed him to briefly break free from the darkness. With his amazing perseverance, he mobilized the little remaining strength in his body and crawled to the front of the lunch box little by little!
He reached out, grabbed a handful of food, and stuffed it into his mouth without thinking. The long period of hunger had made him forget the common sense of health (one should not eat or drink too much if one has been hungry for too long). He swallowed the hard-earned life-saving food in big mouthfuls!
After finishing all the food, he stood up shakily and stumbled back into the room.
After taking a drowsy nap in the stuffy room, he finally regained some strength.
After waking up, he searched the house roughly. He wanted to see if there was anything valuable in the house that could help him survive better!
Soon, he searched the whole house and took out everything useful...
A kunai, two shurikens, two Fire Style ninjutsu scrolls, a genjutsu scroll, and a scroll on hand seals. In addition, there was a letter written by his mother.
Renjiro glanced past other things and carefully put the letter in his arms. It was a piece of advice written by a mother to her five-year-old child!
She wrote a lot, a lot of instructions. She worried about many things, and they were very complicated, most of which involved various aspects of the future...
The most frequently mentioned thing in the letter was that Renjiro must live on bravely, no matter how hard or difficult it was, he must live on bravely.
As she had been ill for a long time, her handwriting was light and faint, but the love she expressed deeply shocked Renjiro!
When Renjiro saw the letter, he thought of his parents. How painful must they have been after learning the news of my death?
They were no longer young. How would they live in the future?
Renjiro felt uncomfortable when he thought of these things.
"Since I can come here, there must be a way to go back. With the power of this world, I can still go home!"
Having established the goal and direction, Renjiro's eyes burst into a strong light, a light called hope!
He felt a faint itch in his eyes. After rubbing them vigorously, they inexplicably returned to normal...
"These should be my father's legacy, right? One 'Great Fireball Technique', one 'Phoenix Sage Fire Technique', and one 'Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique.'"
Renjiro shook his head in disappointment. He didn't even have Chakra now. These three scrolls were of no use to him for the time being. What he needed was the method to refine Chakra.
Oh yeah, money and food...
"Money... Part of the reason my mother died of depression was because of my father's death benefit... I never thought marginalized people would be so unwelcome... Is it because they have no value?"
Renjiro casually placed the ninjutsu scroll in the living room, took the kunai, put it at his waist, and staggered out of the house.
According to Uchiha Renjiro's mother, their family had a death compensation, but she asked the clan for it several times and was never able to get it back. Every time she asked for it, she was rejected with various reasons.
As far as he knew, someone had originally notified them to go and collect the money, but at that time his mother was too ill to get out of bed, so they did not go for the time being. When they went to collect it after her condition improved a little, they found that they could not get it back!
This kind of thing was very unreasonable. He wanted to go to the clan and ask them face to face.
While integrating Uchiha Renjiro's memories, he naturally inherited the other party's cause and effect. At this moment, he would live a good life in place of the original owner.
