Year 16, Konohagakure.
Land of Fire, Konohagakure Village, Ninja Academy.
"Hey, Orochimaru, I want to challenge you!!"
In the middle of the noisy classroom, a small white-haired boy wearing a cream kimono with red trim stood on top of a desk, shouting at a small black-haired boy with long straight hair in front of him.
The white-haired boy had slightly yellowish skin and red lines marked under both of his eyes.
At this moment, he was extremely angry and seemed impatient to engage in a one-on-one duel with the boy in front of him.
However, facing the white-haired boy's challenge, the black-haired boy closed his eyes, glanced around at the other children watching, and kept his gaze lowered, absorbed in his own thoughts.
Seeing Orochimaru ignore him, Jiraiya shouted even louder: "Damn it, you bastard Orochimaru, are you underestimating me??"
A small laugh was heard from a corner of the classroom.
"Oh, are they going to fight again?"
"Haha, this Jiraiya always bothers Orochimaru."
"Haha, I thought Orochimaru would ignore him this time!"
"Why does he want to fight Orochimaru?"
The voices of the children around reached Jiraiya and Orochimaru one by one.
Jiraiya felt a little embarrassed, but Orochimaru?
He wasn't thinking about anything at the moment; only one thought occupied his mind.
'I traveled across space, even into the world of Naruto, and became young Orochimaru??'
'And the boy in front of me is my future friend, one of the three legendary ninja in the ninja world, the Toad Hermit, Jiraiya?'
Orochimaru smiled bitterly in his heart, but soon accepted the reality.
Because he had imagined traveling to another world countless times in his mind before actually doing it, he naturally accepted it quickly.
Even though the world in his memory was full of death and danger, being able to live again was already a gift from God.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru slowly lifted his head.
"You are the powerful Jiraiya-sama; how could I ever dare to underestimate you?"
"You..." Orochimaru no intention of accepting the challenge and only wanted to get rid of him as quickly as possible.
Not for any other reason, but simply because he had just processed Orochimaru's memories.
He was a time traveler.
A time traveler who had arrived in this world less than two hours ago.
In less than two hours, he had experienced countless psychological changes.
He had just reluctantly accepted his identity as Orochimaru.
In the original story, Orochimaru was described by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as a genius who appeared once in several decades.
But in reality,
In this world, where everything depends on clans and bloodlines, he—inside Orochimaru's body—had nothing.
He had no Eternal body like the Senju Clan, nor the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan.
If it weren't for Orochimaru developing Forbidden Techniques, he would be no more than a small fry—or even worse.
Especially when facing the Uchiha siblings, Sasuke and Itachi.
When Orochimaru was still a member of the Akatsuki in the anime, he wanted to take Sharingan Uchiha Itachi, but was instantly defeated by Itachi with just a single glance.
Then, he had plans regarding Uchiha Sasuke but was ultimately killed by Sasuke at his weakest moment.
Eventually, he was reborn with the help of a cursed seal but was sealed again by Itachi with the Totsuka Sword.
Truly tragic.
More importantly, he was currently in the body of a six-year-old Orochimaru, had not mastered many jutsu, and his parents had died a few months ago.
This was undoubtedly a challenge for someone who had traveled through time.
Because he was a university student who hadn't graduated yet. Although he inherited Orochimaru's talents and learning abilities, it was all before the age of six.
Even if he wanted to follow Orochimaru's old path, it might not succeed.
Seeing Orochimaru's listless expression, Jiraiya's burning fighting spirit immediately died out.
"You, you always look so numb, it's so annoying."
Saying this, Jiraiya jumped down from Orochimaru's desk and returned to his seat, resting his head on his hands and placing his feet on the desk.
He looked like a proud young master from a Chinese novel.
Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya's mockery. He took a deep breath and asked in his heart, "You just said you're a System? What kind of system?"
[Crazy Scientist System, Host.]
"…Crazy scientist?" Orochimaru furrowed his brow.
System?
Yes, he had awakened a system necessary for a time traveler.
Initially, it was exciting enough to awaken a system right after arriving.
After all, that was the advantage of being a time traveler.
If a time traveler didn't bring a system with them, they would be ashamed to call themselves a time traveler.
Having read many online articles in his previous life, he knew very well that the system could turn a useless person into a God-like figure capable of defeating anyone in seconds.
But now…
Crazy scientist??
Other people's systems gave unlimited money and allowed the owner to spend as they wished, or they could instantly reach 999 in one strike, reaching the maximum limit in the blink of an eye. Why give me a crazy scientist system? Do you want me to follow the path of science? Please, this is the world of Naruto, and Chakra is the source of all power. Science? That won't work.
(This young master did not know that Amado, who only possessed ordinary human power, managed to create one cyborg with strength above a Kage and two humans with god-like abilities using the Shibai Otsutsuki cells.)
