Gojo Yoru, six years old, a transmigrator.
A sudden death from overwork turned him from a twenty-five-year-old adult into a newborn baby.
Thanks to taking Japanese elective courses in high school and working part-time for a scanlation group during university, Gojo Yoru realized the moment he was born what kind of world he had arrived in.
It wasn't an unfamiliar otherworld, but a two-dimensional world where the entire universe spoke Japanese. Moreover, it was Naruto, one of the "Big Three" mainstream manga.
Upon learning that he had transmigrated into the world of Naruto and into a family without a Kekkei Genkai, Gojo Yoru felt as if the sky had collapsed.
It is well known that the "Big Three" are also known as the "Three Great Bloodline Manga." Every protagonist starts as an ordinary person but ends up revealed as the world's favored son.
After more than a thousand chapters, the Paramecia-type Gum-Gum Fruit suddenly turned into the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Model: Nika. Can you believe that?
Before the Gum-Gum Fruit became the Nika Fruit, Naruto was the bloodline manga that received the most criticism.
This world is one where bloodline reigns supreme. The entire story is essentially about the cruel domestic disputes of the Otsutsuki family.
No matter how talented a ninja is, the peak of the Five Kage, like the Second Tsuchikage Mu and the Third Raikage A, is their limit.
Only by establishing a connection with the Otsutsuki clan, or becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and gaining the complete acknowledgement of the Nine-Tails, can one hope to become a powerhouse at the Super Kage level.
Starting as a commoner without a Kekkei Genkai was already a disastrous beginning. Then, when he was three years old, his father, an all-rounder Jonin, and his mother, a Tokubetsu Jonin, along with their comrades, all died in a large-scale mission. This made Gojo Yoru's vision go dark.
His backing and connections were all gone!
Logically speaking, this kind of "Lone Star" beginning should be the treatment reserved for a protagonist.
However, from the time his parents were sacrificed until now, Gojo Yoru had not discovered his Golden Finger.
If there weren't still a sliver of a chance to turn things around, Gojo Yoru would have wanted to end it all to see if he could transmigrate again.
Opening a locked box, Gojo Yoru took out a red scroll that fit in one hand from beneath a pile of other scrolls.
He infused Chakra into the seal on the scroll. The character for "Seal" immediately faded away slowly, and he pulled it open to reveal a blank surface.
Gojo Yoru bit his thumb, smeared fresh blood onto the scroll, formed hand seals, pressed his palm onto the surface, and shouted softly, "Release!"
With a poof, white smoke filled the dim basement.
When the white smoke dissipated, the blood on the scroll had vanished, replaced by several stacked notebooks and a box of pens.
As usual, Gojo Yoru sat cross-legged in front of the scroll and picked up the top notebook to open it.
It was filled with memos written entirely in Pinyin and Cantonese. Even though Japanese, English, and Kanji existed in this world, no one would be able to decipher it unless they read the memories directly from Gojo Yoru's brain.
Gojo Yoru quickly flipped through the notebook to reinforce his memory, ensuring he didn't lose the greatest advantage of a transmigrator.
Main Plot Summary, Personalities and Experiences of Important Characters, Complete List of Akatsuki Members, Vague Chronicle of Events, Speculation on the Years of Flashback Arcs...
As he finished flipping through each diary, Gojo Yoru picked up the last one, while his other hand took a pencil from the box.
He continued to read the notes, but this time his reading speed was very slow. His eyes were deep, as if he were thinking or organizing something.
The title on the first page of this notebook was strikingly—On the Possibility of Defying the Heavens to Change Fate!
The content that followed was a "Game Strategy" Gojo Yoru had specifically formulated for himself, utilizing his knowledge of the plot as a transmigrator and his understanding of the original characters.
Shortcut Methods to Obtain Status and Resources!
Balancing the Sharingan and Hashirama Cells Equals a Guaranteed Survival Wood Release Experimental Subject!
Can Becoming a Jinchuriki and Molding the Identity of the Child of Prophecy Obtain the Favor of the Nine Tailed Beasts?
The Best Timing to Snatch the Rinnegan!
...
Whenever a flash of inspiration struck, Gojo Yoru would refine or modify this strategy, and this time was no exception.
So, during the reading process, Gojo Yoru occasionally erased the Pinyin and text, rewriting new content.
Reaching a blank page, Gojo Yoru repeatedly wrote and erased new strategies.
After multiple revisions, and only when he couldn't think of anything better, did Gojo Yoru close the notebook. He put the pencil back in the box and stored both back into the storage scroll.
Coming out of the basement, night had already fallen outside. The clock on the living room wall showed 7:52 PM.
Gojo Yoru didn't just simply fill his starving stomach. Instead, he took some ingredients from the refrigerator and cooked himself a dinner that wasn't lavish but was nutritionally sufficient.
After eating, he went out for a walk to prevent his withdrawn personality from attracting the village's attention.
His "aloof" and "school tyrant" persona at school was already quite unsociable; if he took it too far, it could easily backfire.
Returning from his walk, Gojo Yoru tidied up the house a bit, took a quick shower, and lay down in bed to sleep.
The time was approaching nine o'clock.
Early to bed, early to rise, three sufficient meals, balanced nutrition... Having experienced sudden death once, Gojo Yoru cherished his body greatly in this life and knew how to take care of it.
This was the main reason why he was taller and had more stamina than Namikaze Minato.
At 6:00 AM the next day, the alarm clock pulled Gojo Yoru out of his dream right on time.
After washing up and changing clothes, Gojo Yoru began his first morning run of the vacation, not returning home until 8:00 AM, dripping with sweat.
Cooking, bathing, reading... After finishing the routine, Gojo Yoru began to refine Chakra.
Gojo Yoru's physical fitness was top-tier among his peers. With both parents being Jonin, his talent could actually be considered that of a minor genius, just far inferior to those cheating monsters.
In terms of Chakra, he also far surpassed the average peer.
Combined with the inheritance left by his parents, if he didn't die prematurely, Gojo Yoru would definitely become an all-rounder Jonin in the future, but that would be his limit.
To become an Elite Jonin or a Kage-level powerhouse, he would need to master at least one S-rank Secret Technique.
And the Five Kage, in front of Super Kage-level powerhouses, were nothing more than slightly larger minions.
In the eyes of Six Paths level powerhouses, they were even lower forms of life.
Gojo Yoru would absolutely not be satisfied with this, so he wanted to defy the heavens and change his fate.
But to defy the heavens and change fate, one must have the strength to seize and snatch those opportunities.
The greater the goal, the greater Gojo Yoru's motivation was now.
The vacation for the first semester was long, lasting over a month.
For the next month, Gojo Yoru followed a strict schedule: early to bed, early to rise. In the morning, he exercised, read, and refined Chakra. In the afternoon, he practiced ninja basics. In the evening, he stayed in the basement organizing his strategies, sleeping before nine o'clock. He was disciplined like a programmed robot.
During this period, Gojo Yoru also celebrated his own birthday.
In this life, he was born on August 18th, Konoha Year 24.
On this day, Gojo Yoru turned six years old.
Also on this day, a huge change occurred in Gojo Yoru's body.
"This... what is happening?!"
Gojo Yoru, who had lain down before nine as usual, somehow couldn't fall asleep today.
Clearly, with his sufficient vitality and growing body, he should have fallen asleep easily.
But today, Gojo Yoru tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, his brain becoming increasingly excited.
After midnight, Gojo Yoru noticed his body temperature rising slightly, but it wasn't a fever.
His heart beat faster, as if beating a drum.
That strange yet familiar feeling made Gojo Yoru's eyes widen in disbelief. "Arrhythmia? How is this possible? I'm so young, and I sleep early and wake up early every day. How could I have symptoms of sudden death?!"
