Chapter 1: Awakening in Another World
[Yan Zu's Signing Spot][Deduct 666 for a Random Kekkei Genkai Gift][Pat Head~]
"Moonlight, wake up. It's time for your medicine."
Lu Xiaoqian groggily heard a gentle voice calling to him.
He struggled to open his eyes.
The scene before him gradually came into focus.
A woman in a light purple kimono was holding an exquisite ceramic bowl, feeding him medicine.
She appeared to be in her early twenties.
Her striking purple hair framed a delicate, palm-sized white face.
The loose kimono, as she leaned forward slightly, revealed a deep, bottomless cleavage.
Her lips parted slightly, showing pearly white teeth.
A faint scent of violets wafted from her body.
The sight left Lu Xiaoqian momentarily stunned.
"Ah!"
But just then, a flood of memories surged into his mind.
It was like a man tasting forbidden fruit for the first time, barriers shattering.
Intense headache struck, accompanied by a sensation of his head being torn apart and exploding.
Lu Xiaoqian couldn't help but cry out.
"Hayate, Hayate, what's wrong?!"
Seeing Moonlight Hayate suddenly scream in agony, Uzuki Yugao immediately used Body Flicker to rush to his side.
"Wasn't there just an earthquake? How did I end up transmigrating into Moonlight Hayate?"
As time passed, the feeling of his mind being plowed and reshaped faded.
Lu Xiaoqian gradually pieced together what had happened.
Before transmigrating...
Lu Xiaoqian had gone through endless hardships to finally lure the green tea school flower to a hotel.
Before he could properly "communicate" with her, an earthquake struck suddenly, and he lost consciousness.
After that, Lu Xiaoqian was reborn into the Naruto world—his favorite from his previous life.
His memories hadn't returned until this relapse of his bloodline illness, when he coughed up blood and fainted, unlocking his past life's recollections.
"In my previous life, I wasn't invincible to all diseases, but I had a body full of muscles—those eight-pack abs were what reeled in the green tea girl. How did I transmigrate into a sickly weakling this time?!"
Before transmigrating, Lu Xiaoqian was a die-hard Naruto fan, having devoured countless Naruto transmigration novels.
Others became Sasuke or Naruto; the worst was Kakashi.
But him? Straight into a short-lived ghost.
Looking at the purple-haired Yugao before him—his childhood sweetheart—though endearing, the thought that he was about to die made him feel this transmigration was better off skipped.
Ding!

"Is this my golden finger finally arriving? Then I can struggle a bit longer—maybe there's something that boosts lifespan."
Hearing the system's prompt in his mind, and seeing only 26 days left, Moonlight Hayate couldn't help but complain inwardly.
"Hayate, Hayate, what's wrong?"
Seeing Hayate go from screaming to dazed silence, Uzuki Yugao shook his body anxiously.
Ding!
[Congratulations, Host! Physical interaction with Uzuki Yugao completed. Rebate item randomly generated. Please select one from the following options!]
1/1000th of Uzuki Yugao's lifespan (21.9 days)
1/1000th of Uzuki Yugao's constitution (0.56)
Uzuki Yugao's cooking experience
Uzuki Yugao's anti-tracking experience
Staring at these four options, Moonlight Hayate was torn. He desperately wanted lifespan, but 21 days was useless.
Options three and four? He already had those skills. No choice—he mentally told the system,
"I select two."
Ding! Selection confirmed. Triggering 10x rebate: Gained constitution 5.6. Auto-applied to Host.
In an instant, Moonlight Hayate felt a warm current surge through his frail body. Under this power, he—who had been lying down—suddenly stood up straight.
Uzuki Yugao gasped in surprise, covering her mouth as she whispered, "Hayate, Hayate, what's happening? How are you standing all of a sudden?"
"I feel great—better than ever. Like my whole body is brimming with power." Hayate said, rolling up his sleeve to flex his (newly enhanced) muscles.
"Alright, enough showing off. Come here and drink your medicine. Your condition doesn't allow for strenuous activity."
"Medicine? Yugao, what's the point of this stuff? I've been drinking it for years with no improvement. Look at me now—skipping it makes me seem even healthier."
Seeing the flush of color on Hayate's pale face, she suddenly recalled an old saying:
"If someone with a terminal illness suddenly becomes lively and energetic...
Fulfill all their wishes. It's a sign of the last burst of life before the end."
At that thought, tears streamed down Yugao's face. "Hayate, boo-hoo! You..."
Seeing Yugao's pitiful, tear-streaked expression, Hayate quickly interrupted,
"Hey, don't cry. You'll ruin your pretty face. It's just a bowl of medicine, right? I'll drink it—happy now?"
He snatched the porcelain bowl from her hands, pinched his nose, and downed it in one gulp.

"Pah, pah, pah—this medicine is so bitter!" Hayate's words had barely left his mouth when a prompt chimed in his mind.
Ding! Congratulations, Host! Constitution +1. Current constitution: 13.6.
"What? This crappy medicine actually boosts constitution?!"
Instinctively, Hayate executed Dance of the Crescent Moon, appearing before Uzuki Yugao in a flash. He grabbed her shoulders, excitedly shouting,
"Yugao, Yugao—is there more of this medicine? I'll drink as much as you have!"
"Calm down, Hayate. The clan secret remedy was all used up to save you. But as long as you woke up, it was worth it."
"No worries. If there's none now, just tell me the ingredients—I can go find them."
Yugao slowly shook her head.
"One portion came from the previous clan head, retrieved from the depths of the Dragon Veins. It's said to be a rare find, only to be used in life-or-death situations."
Hayate pondered inwardly, Dragon Veins, huh? That's a prime spot—time travel potential. I have to go there later.
"Yugao, if there's none now, forget it. Got anything good to eat? I'm starving."
"I prepared something ages ago. I'll get it for you. After you eat, I have a surprise!"
With that, Yugao stood, opened the door, and vanished from Hayate's sight.
Watching her retreating figure, he nodded to himself.
Having such a virtuous, beautiful childhood sweetheart who thinks of me at every turn... This transmigration might not be so bad after all.
"What are you daydreaming about? Come eat."
"Coming—what delicacies do we have?"
"I specially learned to make medicinal chicken soup. Try it." Yugao handed him a bowl.
"It's delicious! Yugao, I'm done—now spill it. What's the surprise?"
Hearing Hayate's words, Uzuki Yugao's face flushed crimson, her demeanor turning shy and fidgety.
Hayate, puzzled by her sudden bashfulness, pressed, "Come on, Yugao—tell me!"
"It's... it's that... I want to give you a child."
