[Ding! You have completed one sleep experience session, Sleep Experience +8, General Experience +1]
What was that sound?
A slender arm emerged from under the covers, first fumbling under the pillow for a while, then reaching towards the edge of the bed. After rummaging around for a while, it seemed to sense something was wrong, so it raised its hand and began fumbling behind the bed.
However, after fumbling for a long time, it still found nothing.
"Where's my phone?" The child got up angrily and looked behind him.
Forget about the charging cable, the walls were three or four meters away.
Moreover, the walls had turned into wood, without even a hole, let alone a socket.
"What's going on?" The child was bewildered: "This isn't my house! Wait, this isn't my arm!"
"Huh? It's not even my eye!"
"Did I transmigrate?"
Tapping his temples, the child frowned and pondered, slowly beginning to recall.
Before long, based on the memories remaining in this body, he understood everything.
"Naruto, Konoha, Hyuga, Branch Family!"
Ning Yuan, a not-so-successful player on Earth Online, 28 years old, a veteran Naruto fan.
In this life, his name is Hyuga Ning Yuan, a member of the Hyuga clan's branch family in Konoha Village, the Land of Fire, and he is five years old this year. He
has been branded with the Caged Bird Seal for two years, and it's obvious that his transmigration has nothing to do with this seal.
He's not as unfortunate as Hyuga Hizashi, who was born a few minutes later and became a member of the branch family.
Because Hyuga Ning Yuan's ancestors for three generations were all members of the branch family, his lineage is impeccable!
Well, that's not something to be happy about.
"Speaking of which, how did I transmigrate? I think I was sleeping!" Hyuga Ning Yuan frowned and pondered. Why could he transmigrate just by sleeping? Did I get hit by a dump truck in my sleep, so I didn't feel anything?
But I'm on the fourth floor!
"Oh well, what's done is done!" Hyuga Ning Yuan shook his head and quickly accepted the fact that he had transmigrated.
After all, he had no parents in his previous life and had no ties.
Although he has a girlfriend, they live apart due to their work and rarely see each other. They don't even have time to play games together, so the relationship is already dead in name only.
Adults don't need to use the word "breakup" when they break up; they can simply disappear from her life quietly.
And
feeling his vibrant body now, with eyesight so sharp he could see the texture of trees and rooftops in the dim morning light...
Thinking back to his previous life, with its irregular work schedule and nearsightedness that started in sixth grade and soared to 800 degrees by high school...
This kind of transmigration is a hundred times better than this!
Even without a cell phone, this world has superpowers!
And the technology in Naruto is developing rapidly; maybe smartphones will be invented soon.
Hyuga Ning Yuan sprang to his feet with a somersault—a maneuver he knew how to do, but with his physique in his previous life, it was impossible.
But this body clearly showed signs of training, and he jumped up easily.
"These clothes are alright, the way I wear them is similar to my previous life." Hyuga Ning Yuan pulled out a set of clothes from beside the bed: a long-sleeved thermal shirt and elasticated sweatpants, both white, and made of a particularly soft fabric, somewhat like ice silk. It
was clearly prepared for training, loose and not clingy.
However, starting training a five-year-old is truly outrageous.
But then again, considering Konoha is an assassination group and a mercenary organization, it doesn't seem so surprising.
Similarly, child scouts are never lacking among warlords in northern Myanmar and Africa.
"Huh, why does he look a bit like me from my past life..." There was no mirror in the room, and Hyuga Ning Yuan followed his memory to the bathroom.
It was surprisingly spacious, complete with a shower and bathtub—much better than his rented room in his previous life.
Next to it was a huge mirror, in front of which were toiletries such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap, as well as a few cosmetics like lipstick.
Those belonged to Hyuga Mie, Hyuga Ning Yuan's mother.
"There are some traces of my past life, but how could that be? Isn't appearance determined by genes? Or is it that I didn't actually transmigrate, but was reborn, and only awakened my memories today?"
The person in the mirror had delicate features and fair skin. Wearing a white training uniform, they exuded a light and agile aura, yet possessed an imposing presence.
Even their pure white eyes had a unique beauty, unlike the terrifying look of those cosplayers wearing colored contacts; instead, they possessed a divine nobility.
Thinking about it, how could man-made objects compare to eyes inherited from gods?
Moreover, there were faint traces of Ning Yuan from his past life, making him somewhat suspicious. Perhaps he hadn't transmigrated, but was reborn and awakened memories of his past life.
As for why his memories of his past life stopped at sleeping...
considering his irregular eating and sleeping habits over the years, perhaps he died suddenly in his sleep!
"So this is the Caged Bird Seal!" Unlike Neji, who wore a cloth strip, Hyuga Ning Yuan's forehead was exposed, displaying two horizontal scepters with an X-shaped green pattern between them.
The Caged Bird Seal was a seal established by the Hyuga clan to protect their eyes. It would automatically trigger upon the death of the recipient, destroying brain tissue and the Byakugan. It
wasn't exactly ugly.
However, because the Caged Bird Seal later became corrupted and used as a tool for the main family to oppress and rule the branch families, what was originally just an average, neither beautiful nor ugly seal suddenly became an ugly creation.
"This thing, tsk." Ning Yuan shook his head, no longer paying attention to it. He couldn't solve it now anyway, so there was no need to dwell on it and waste his mental energy.
Besides, he came from Earth, a world without magic. People there were obsessed with learning martial arts, gaining superpowers, and cultivating immortality. Some were even to the point of wanting to immediately cut up a copy of the "Sunflower Manual." Now,
not only had he transmigrated, but he also possessed superpowers, could learn martial arts, and even cultivate immortality!
It's just another caged bird, acceptable!
Anyway, this seal isn't unsolvable.
Although the original story didn't mention a solution for the caged bird, Ning Yuan isn't stupid; he can use his brain.
And in just a short while, he came up with a feasible solution: kill everyone in the main family, and everyone else will have a caged bird—that's equivalent to not having a caged bird, right? If
you can't solve the problem, solve the person who created it—perfect!
"Yuan'er." A gentle call suddenly sounded behind Ning Yuan, startling him from his thoughts. He quickly turned around.
"My goodness, you almost scared me to death! You walk so quietly!"
The newcomer was a young woman in a light blue kimono adorned with cherry blossom petals. She was graceful and delicate, with arched eyebrows and unusual features, somewhat resembling the Japanese actress Yuki Amami from the last century. Even
in wooden clogs, she was only about 157 cm tall, which worried Ning Yuan a bit about her future height. Would she even be under 170 cm?
"Do people wear kimonos so early in the morning? I don't really understand."
The person who arrived was none other than this body's mother, Hyuga Mie.
Although she was called a mother, people in the ninja world married young, and Hyuga Mie, despite being a mother of a five-year-old, was only 22 years old this year.
Hyuga Ning Yuan was 28 years old before he transmigrated...
So Ning Yuan opened his mouth, but couldn't bring himself to call her "mother."
Hyuga Mie sensed the change in Ning Yuan's emotions, but didn't think much of it.
After all, that's how it is for children in the Hyuga family, mainly because they've split up.
Her already low spirits sank even lower following the change in Ning Yuan's eyes.
Until Ning Yuan spoke: "Is the food ready?"
"Oh, it's ready!" Hyuga Mie quickly replied, "I'll help you wash up. Today is your day to go to the ninja academy, you can't be late!"
"I can do it myself!" Hyuga Ning Yuan quickly refused, "I'm old enough to go to school, I should learn to take care of myself!"
"Uh..." Hyuga Mie was speechless, and the light in her eyes seemed to dim slightly.
Hyuga Ning Yuan was speechless, then said, "Alright, why don't you help me?"
"Okay!" Hyuga Mie's emotions immediately surged again.
