"Uchiha Tsukasa, the clan head has summoned all clan shinobi to the Police Force headquarters assembly hall."
"Understood. I'll be there immediately."
Uchiha Tsukasa nodded calmly, his hands pulling an empty ramen cup from the river.
The Uchiha chunin who delivered the message gave him a puzzled look, then used the Body Flicker Technique before whispering a warning:
"Listen, kid. The Third Kazekage has gone missing, and tensions are escalating at the border. The Third Great Ninja War is about to break out."
"You're still just a genin. Don't get cocky and take on missions beyond your abilities!"
The chunin frowned as he glanced at what Tsukasa was doing, speaking with exasperation:
"As an Uchiha, you should be training hard and improving your strength right now. Don't waste your time on these D-rank cleanup missions."
With that—
Whoosh—
The chunin vanished.
Uchiha Tsukasa's eyes immediately lit up with uncontrollable joy. He tossed aside the net he'd been using to clear river debris and leaped onto the water's surface with a graceful flip.
He casually threw the cup into a collection bag on the riverbank.
"Damn it, is the Third Great Ninja War finally about to start?"
Tsukasa beamed with excitement.
"Finally! I can leave the village to die! This past year has been so frustrating!"
"Picking up trash, catching cats, babysitting, cleaning waterways..."
"How am I supposed to die doing these mundane tasks?"
Tsukasa sighed in relief, his hands trembling with anticipation.
"I can finally go home!"
It was clear that the current Uchiha Tsukasa was no longer the original Uchiha Tsukasa from this world's history.
He was a transmigrator.
However, he wasn't an ordinary transmigrator.
He was a Heaven-Sent Agent—chosen by divine will!
What is a Heaven-Sent Agent?
Simply put: someone randomly selected for a special mission and sent to various chaotic time periods. Through personal ability and effort, they must rewrite the tragedies destined to occur, advance society, and achieve a happy ending.
Complete this mission successfully, and Tsukasa would receive tremendous rewards and return to his original world.
On the flip side, those who fail or act immorally face judgment and annihilation by Heaven's Law.
Naturally, as the legitimate Heaven's Law system, it provided insurance coverage for Tsukasa.
If, while serving as a heaven-sent hero to save the world, he were to accidentally die during his mission, he would receive compensation—returning to his original world with a generous insurance payout of 50 million dollars.
However, this required meeting certain standards and couldn't be lower than the original historical outcome. Intentional suicide wouldn't be covered either.
Tsukasa had been eagerly waiting for this moment.
His original self had lost his parents at a young age and, due to mediocre talent, was often bullied within the clan. To this day, he remained merely a genin—something unheard of among the Uchiha. He would presumably die during the Third Great Ninja War, the Nine-Tails' attack, or the Uchiha Massacre.
He was destined to be nothing more than cannon fodder.
And what was the fate of cannon fodder?
Tsukasa knew without hesitation: the battlefield!
Once on the battlefield, he'd be cut down quickly.
Even if Heaven's Law insurance had strict requirements, they'd have to pay out!
Coincidentally, this was the eve of the Third Great Ninja War.
Sunagakure, having lost their Third Kazekage, would soon declare war on Konoha, escalating the conflict.
From this point forward, a chaotic war would unfold.
The Battle of Kikyo Pass!
The Kannabi Bridge Mission!
The one-against-ten-thousand final battle of the Third Raikage!
The battles in the Land of Rain with the Gedo Statue!
The legendary battles of Mount Kikyo!
All those legendary shinobi!
The most brutal war yet!
All the hidden schemes, the intersecting lines of ambition across the map—they would all explode during this time!
Tsukasa pondered that any one of these iconic battles would clearly reveal him as the weakling he was!
He'd be cannon fodder, dying an early death!
Even if he were lucky enough to survive these wars, Tsukasa could remain cheerful and optimistic.
After all, there would still be the Nine-Tails' attack and the Uchiha Massacre ahead!
Of course, Tsukasa had considered becoming a true hero and rewriting history—after all, he had many regrets about the Naruto world.
However, after assessing the situation, he realized that with his current abilities, expecting a more perfect ending than what Naruto achieved was essentially impossible.
Naruto, with all his advantages—talent, inherited power from his father, ancestral connections, and his signature Talk-no-Jutsu—had barely succeeded against the world's strongest opponents.
And Tsukasa was just a weakling who couldn't even activate his Sharingan.
He couldn't trace back to Indra's lineage or gain Six Paths power through genetic awakening.
With his limited knowledge, he couldn't develop advanced technology to achieve technological supremacy either.
What could he possibly fight with?
A cheat system that immediately gave him a Mangekyo Sharingan might work, but Heaven's Law was a legitimate organization—they weren't that generous. To this day, whatever talent he was supposed to receive hadn't even manifested.
Apart from being cannon fodder, he couldn't figure out how a mere mortal like him could turn the tide.
So when Tsukasa realized he could legitimately claim insurance money, his entire mindset shifted.
After all, fifty million dollars—wasn't that amazing?
As for saving the world... let's trust in Naruto!
As for him, Uchiha Tsukasa, on the eve of this turbulent Ninja War—he'd find the most dangerous mission and dedicate himself to the cause until death!
Look at that level of dedication! The Third Hokage would be moved to tears!
He'd probably even burn incense for him at the Memorial Stone!
"Gathering all clan members at this critical moment must be for a war mobilization meeting. There won't be many dangerous missions available, so I can't let others snatch them away!"
"I need to hurry!"
"This time, I'm risking my life for Konoha!"
"I can definitely charge forward!"
Tsukasa's eyes were filled with determination. He kicked off his work boots and rushed toward the Police Force headquarters!
He didn't even bother with the collection bags and nets left on the shore.
Nearby, Uchiha Shisui was leaping across rooftops on his way to the headquarters when he overheard Tsukasa's words from below.
He was stunned for a long moment, nearly missing his footing and falling off the roof.
Then his eyes lit up:
"There's actually someone in the Uchiha clan who thinks the same way I do?"
Shisui watched Tsukasa running toward the sunset and touched his chin thoughtfully.
"But the mission the clan head is about to assign is extremely dangerous..."
"No, I can't let such a young comrade with the right ideals die needlessly!"
Shisui's expression grew serious.
As someone devoted to the village, he understood Tsukasa's dedication to Konoha.
Under such passionate emotions, it was easy to act recklessly and choose missions that others wouldn't even consider, just to prove oneself.
How many good shinobi had lost their lives for such foolish reasons?
It was truly tragic.
And Shisui would never let such a tragedy unfold before his eyes!
Especially with those two missions about to be announced—they were practically suicide missions!
