The setting sun was like blood.
On the border of the battlefield, a cool breeze rustled.
Among the piled-up corpses, a small, blood-stained hand emerged from the gaps between the bodies.
"Oh, my goodness!"
"This old man is exhausted!"
Tsuruki pushed away the corpses pressing down on him, gasping for breath, drenched in sweat.
As a homebody who had read countless web novels, he had calmly accepted the fact of his transmigration; he absolutely couldn't bring shame to his fellow transmigrators!
"Would you like to watch the replay?"
At this moment, a mechanical electronic voice echoed in Tsuruki's mind.
Calm?
How dare he say that.
Just now, he didn't know who had found out he transmigrated to Naruto, and then touched the blood all over him and the two corpses on his body, rolling his eyes and almost fainting.
The system still had a video recording of Tsuruki's initial reaction.
Tsuruki lightly coughed twice, thinking that this system was a bit uncooperative.
"Cough, cough, no need!"
In his previous life, Tsuruki was also an 8G internet surfer; he had read at least twenty, if not fifty, Naruto fanfiction novels on Tomato.
He was very clear about the process of transmigrating to Naruto.
Transmigration → System → Peak of life!
Although reading novels felt great, he still felt a little apprehensive after truly transmigrating.
After all, his beginning was a bit rough.
The body he transmigrated into was not from Konoha Village, the protagonist's village, his parents had just died, he was on a battlefield, and the time point of his transmigration was the Third Great Ninja War.
Wasn't this purely playing to his death?
He originally wanted to quietly suffocate himself to see if he could return to reality, but then the system appeared.
Hesitating for a second, Tsuruki felt that following the system meant there would be benefits!
If he really suffocated himself and couldn't return to reality, then it would be over.
It wasn't until he exerted a great deal of effort to push away the corpses pressing on him that the system began to display its interface and introduce itself.
"I am pleased to serve you. I am the Charmer of the Ninja World, Everyone Loves Me strategy system. My number is 21278…"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait!"
Tsuruki raised his shrunken small hand, asking incredulously, "Say again, what kind of system are you?"
The system paused, then repeated, "The Charmer of the Ninja World, Everyone Loves Me strategy system. Host, do you have any questions?"
Tsuruki was completely stunned; coupled with his handsome appearance, he had a beauty as if his brainstem had been dug out.
"Did you bind the wrong person?"
From the sound of it, it seemed like a system for a girl!
Impossible!
Impossible!
As a man, he would never have such a feminine system!
Waaah…
Tsuruki was on the verge of collapse.
System: "Host, please rest assured, there is no binding error."
Tsuruki: "Everyone loves me, and there's no binding error?"
System explained: "According to system calculations, the Host is the most suitable candidate for the system."
"Impudent!" Tsuruki flared up in anger, "I'm straight!"
"The system did not question the Host's sexual orientation," the system paused strangely, "Everyone loves me, does not only include romantic love, but also familial love, friendship, etc."
The implication was, what filthy things were in his mind!
"Cough, cough," Tsuruki coughed strategically, "I mean upright! Upright, do you understand? You continue! You continue!"
"My number is 21278396, and I will now introduce the system functions."
"The system provides the Host with opportunities to select skills by acquiring favorability from Naruto characters."
"What does that mean?" Tsuruki thought for a moment, stroking his chin, "Does it mean that as long as I gain favorability, I can choose skills?"
He had seen death-seeking systems, dark transformation systems, effort systems in novels… but this favorability charmer system was the first time he had seen it!
The system was playing something very new!
However, he wasn't picky; having it was good enough.
He held two hundred percent sympathy for any fellow transmigrator to Naruto who didn't have a system.
Of course, if the other party transmigrated into the Senju or Uchiha Clan, he would consider his previous words to be a gentle fart.
"After selecting a target, if favorability reaches 60, the Host will receive one random skill allocation from the system, with the skill in its initial stage; if favorability reaches 100, the Host will receive an automatic gacha opportunity, with the skill in its ultimate stage."
The system's introduction answered Tsuruki's previous questions, but Tsuruki also had new questions.
"Who chooses this target?"
"The target can be chosen by the Host, or randomly assigned by the system."
"Oh~" Tsuruki nodded, then asked again, "Then where do the skills come from?"
This was a point Tsuruki was more concerned about.
If they were skills from the Naruto world, how would he explain getting them?
The original owner of the body he transmigrated into was named Tsukimi Tsuruki, from Sand Village. His parents were just Chunin with extremely low presence in Sand Village. If he were recognized one day, how would he explain the Ninjutsu from other villages that he acquired?
The system seemed not to have expected Tsuruki to ask such an intelligent question, and its mechanical electronic voice rang out again.
"System skills come from 'Jujutsu Kaisen,' 'One Piece,' 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure,' 'Inuyasha,' 'Gintama,' 'Shinigami,' 'Battle Through the Heavens,' 'Soul Land,' 'Wu Geng Ji,'… and do not include 'Naruto.'"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait!"
Tsuruki raised his hand again, his expression indescribably strange.
"Did something weird get mixed in?"
System: "Host, please specify."
"Oh my god!"
Tsuruki couldn't help but complain, "Are you that up-to-date? You even included Chinese anime!"
Indeed!
Had Chinese anime truly risen?
System: "All anime selections are based on system data calculations, please rest assured, Host!"
"Abilities obtained from the system will also automatically convert into skills that operate with Chakra."
This completely resolved Tsuruki's worries.
"Not bad, not bad!"
If he could, Tsuruki would give the system a five-star rating.
"Tsukimi… Tsukimi…"
Suddenly, a bloody hand rested on Tsuruki's calf.
Tsuruki stiffened all over.
There shouldn't be ghosts in the Naruto world, right?
His gaze slowly shifted downwards.
A face covered in blood, its features indiscernible, appeared in his line of sight.
Those light blue eyes gradually overlapped with the beautiful blue eyes Tsuruki remembered from the original owner's memories.
"Mom… Mom…"
Tsuruki froze.
This wasn't something he shouted; it was the body's subconscious reaction.
"My… my… son!"
The woman in front of him spoke with difficulty, but a gentle smile still hung on her lips.
Tsuruki suddenly realized why the original owner might have survived on such a brutal battlefield.
Because the woman in front of him and the man beside her had shielded the original owner with their bodies.
It was the love from his mom and dad!
"Host, do you choose to target Asakusa Honoka and Tsukimi Makino?"
Asakusa Honoka was the original owner's mother, and Tsukimi Makino was the original owner's father.
"Are they… not dead yet?"
Tsuruki asked dazedly in his mind.
What made them hold on for so long?
He already had the answer in his heart.
"They wanted to see their son one last time."
The system said faintly, its voice without any fluctuation.
"Choose to target!"
As Tsuruki's words fell, the blue electronic screen of the system in his mind immediately displayed the avatars of Asakusa Honoka and Tsukimi Makino.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host."
"Target characters: Asakusa Honoka, Tsukimi Makino, favorability reached 100!"
Tsuruki's eyes were complex.
He was benefiting from the original owner!
"My son… live… well!"
The woman in front of him had eyes as gentle as a spring puddle.
She used all her strength to utter her last words, and her pupils instantly dilated.
"Live!"
These two words, seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, came from Tsukimi Makino.
He was more severely injured than Asakusa Honoka; he could only speak these two words.
They had completely lost their vital signs.
Tsuruki suddenly found his vision blurring.
Something warm trickled down his face.
"I will, I will live well in place of Tsukimi Tsuruki!"
Tsuruki promised in his heart.
At the same time, he felt light all over, as if something had been drawn from his body.
"Just now, that was…"
"That was the true Tsukimi Tsuruki."
The system completed Tsuruki's unfinished sentence.
"The gacha wheel is ready. Host, would you like to draw?"
"Yes" "No"
Tsuruki pressed the "Yes" button in his mind without thinking.
A large blue wheel appeared in his mind, divided into ten regular segments.
Each segment seemed to be covered in a shadow, and he couldn't make out the words on it.
"Congratulations, Host, you have received a beginner's luck bonus!"
A large gift package suddenly popped into Tsuruki's view, then quickly disappeared.
It was so fast that Tsuruki didn't have a chance to read the small print on it.
Tsuruki carefully observed the large wheel and noticed the word "Luck" appearing above it.
Without waiting any longer, Tsuruki spun the wheel.
One minute later.
The pointer of the wheel gradually pointed to an ordinary segment.
The segment glowed blue, all other segments disappeared, and the words on the segment fully appeared in Tsuruki's eyes.
"Six Eyes"
"Skill Description: A special trait inherited by the Gojo family, appearing once every few centuries. It is an eye with special abilities. 360-degree long-range vision, can see behind, and can see from a great distance."
"Directly discern whether the opponent is a sorcerer (Ninja), see through the opponent's technique (Ninjutsu). Can directly track/predict the trajectory of cursed energy (Chakra). Allows the wielder to perform precise Chakra manipulation. (Prerequisite for using Limitless Void technique) Obstructions of vision will not hinder sight."
Tsuruki forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Do I still have one more draw opportunity?"
"Yes."
The system replied.
The vanished wheel reappeared.
This time, Tsuruki was much more proficient; he didn't even need system guidance and started operating it himself.
Finally, the wheel gradually stopped.
A new skill popped up on the screen.
"Limitless Void Technique"
"Skill Description: Creates an absolutely impregnable space with infinite power."
"Within Limitless Void, only approaching objects eternally approach 'convergence.' The 'Limitless Void Jujutsu' passed down in the Gojo family is a barrier that isolates infinity. It automatically selects the target for the technique's effect based on the quality and danger level of the approaching object. The closer an object gets, the slower its speed, always unable to touch the user."
"A technique passed down in the Gojo family, possessing the ability to manipulate space and bring cosmic energy into reality; it is the convergent infinite series of stopping power inherent to the user, the effect being that any object approaching the user will slow down more and more, never able to touch the user."
Tsuruki now wished he could jump up and down.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
Important things said three times.
"Gojo-sensei, you are my god!"
"Luck BUFF!"
"So awesome!"
With Limitless Void activated, he would be in an unkillable state!
Absolutely loving it!
Moreover, the Limitless Void technique had many derived uses!
Like teleportation, technique reversal, Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, Hollow Purple…
The more Tsuruki thought about it, the wider his grin became.
"Given that the Host's selection of targets involved opportunistic behavior, the derived skills of the Limitless Void technique will be deducted."
Tsuruki instantly froze like a stone statue.
A cold wind blew, and he cracked.
"Opportunistic behavior?"
Tsuruki gritted his teeth, "What an opportunistic behavior!"
This was clearly his parents' love for him!
And the system actually called it opportunistic!
Besides, wasn't this a strategy option provided by the system itself!
Forget it!
Although Tsuruki was heartbroken by the loss of the derived skills, he still considered this a win!
Six Eyes and Limitless Void!
From today onwards, he was also a man with the same configuration as the strongest man, Satoru Gojo!
"Do you choose to receive the skills?"
"Yes" "No"
Tsuruki pressed "Yes" without thinking.
The next second, Tsuruki dramatically fell backward.
"Wait!"
The last word the system hadn't finished saying echoed in Tsuruki's mind.
The system could only pray that Tsuruki would be picked up by someone now.
In the silent battlefield, a white figure suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Oh!"
"Madara, there's someone still alive here!"
A shrill, duck-like voice pierced the silence of the battlefield.
"Is that so?"
An old man walked over to White Zetsu.
"It's a child!"
White Zetsu looked at Tsuruki, who was ungracefully sprawled among the corpses, and said to Uchiha Madara, "Should we take him back?"
Uchiha Madara's blood-red Sharingan eyes were cold, "Take him back!"
A child who could survive on the battlefield must have something extraordinary about him!
"Alright!"
White Zetsu tucked Tsuruki's small body under his armpit and disappeared from the ground.
Tsuruki at this moment had no idea that he had been taken into a wolf's den.
If he were awake, he would surely say to Uchiha Madara and White Zetsu, "Don't come over! Don't come over!"
Unfortunately, he didn't even have a chance to speak now.
In the dark cave.
A single candle was lit.
"How strange!"
White Zetsu muttered to himself.
"Why did such powerful Chakra suddenly appear in his body?"
White Zetsu looked at the quietly sleeping Tsuruki with surprise.
"I need to tell Madara!"
White Zetsu's figure vanished.
Tsuruki slowly woke up, his fatigue seemed to have vanished, and his body was filled with power.
He rolled his eyes.
The next second, a vast sea of information, like mountains and oceans, threatened to drown him.
"Hiss!"
The pain screaming in his head made Tsuruki frown tightly.
It was going to explode!
Uchiha Madara, White Zetsu, the cave, the dense tens of thousands of White Zetsu, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path…
Everything appearing before his eyes made Tsuruki feel somewhat blank.
There was still a lot of information in his head, but he no longer felt any pain.
Six Eyes instantly evolved from an uncontrollable initial stage to an automatically controllable ultimate stage.
Tsuruki stiffly looked around.
Help!
Why was he picked up by Uchiha Madara!
Tsuruki's eyes were filled with terror.
A hunched old man's figure entered Tsuruki's vision.
Uchiha Madara emerged from the darkness and came before Tsuruki.
Tsuruki swallowed, then began to feign confusion.
"Where is this?"
Tsuruki's sky-blue eyes, like stars, were filled with helplessness and wariness.
"This is the Gap between life and death…"
"Poor child…"
Uchiha Madara's eyes were filled with pity.
Tsuruki narrowed his eyes; why did those words sound so familiar?
"Did you save me?"
Although he was suspicious, Tsuruki still asked, pretending to be ignorant.
"Yes, I went through great trouble to save you."
Uchiha Madara had a profound expression.
Bullshit!
Tsuruki cursed in his heart.
He was perfectly fine; he only suddenly fainted because he was receiving the Six Eyes and Limitless Void skills.
It was this sudden faint that gave Uchiha Madara, that old schemer, an opportunity.
