Chapter 2 Hyuga Makoto
Hyuga Makoto was an unlucky transmigrator.
He still vividly remembers thirteen years ago, scrolling through his phone on the street, watching the giant next door get hit by the socialist iron fist while also watching Ame's killing line.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and when he woke up, he realized he was in this world...
Sure enough, don't use your phone while walking!"
He always regretted it.
Fortunately, his timing wasn't too bad.
He was a year older than Uchiha Itachi and had been 'scorned' since birth.
But at least he avoided the vibrant, flourishing land of the Third Shinobi World War!
In these past few years, he witnessed some 'minor' events in Konoha.
For example, Uchiha Obito fulfilling his filial duty, and the Fourth Hokage and his wife passing away.
There was also Orochimaru's sedition of Jun, and the kidnapping of Hinata by Hidden Cloud Village...
Especially the Hinata incident, which greatly shocked him.
Because his parents had been subordinates of Hyuga Hizashi, and after their deaths in battle, he actually lived in Hyuga Hizashi's house for several years!
Before the incident, he had considered helping Hyuga Hizashi.
But he was less than ten years old at the time, insignificant, and most importantly...
He's got a caged bird on his forehead!"
Even his younger brother, the clan leader, was like that; the feeling of not having one's own destiny in one's own hands was incredibly painful. Moreover the future of the ninja world was uncertain. At least Pain had a revival ticket for carrying a bag of rice up and down several floors.
But Orochimaru's Konoha was collapsing, there were various missions and the Fourth Shinobi World War, and what if the main clan acted recklessly again?
If he wasn't careful, he might have to "attack in Gundam form"!
Fortunately, he was also overpowered.
His system had only one main mission: to become the core of this world.
A mere branch family member like him, being asked to do such a thing?
This is even more terrifying than eating a candied apple while assembling a Gundam model, only to suddenly discover that the apple in his hand is actually a Gundam part...
If it weren't for some side quests and exclusive missions, he probably would have really exploded at the system!
But these kinds of missions are somewhat abstract..."
Side quests appear based on people or events, and offer two completely opposite choices.
For example, there's "fight off the bullies who are harassing Hinata in Naruto's place," or "become the bullies who are harassing Hinata and Naruto."
There are also things like "delicious twin sisters," and "both widowed"...
Exclusive missions are the same; these are obtained based on the progress of the main quest.
And his first exclusive mission was to choose between "willingly serving the main family as their dog" and "breaking free from the main family's control."
Although he could choose not to accept, there would be no reward if he missed it!
"Anyway, it's better than the main storyline."
[Name: Hyuga Makoto]
[Age: 13]
[Bloodline: Hyuga Clan (Branch Family)]
[Doujutsu: Byakugan]
[Chakra Nature: Earth]
[Skills: Body Flicker Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Gentle Fist (omitted)...]
[Items: Moon Otsutsuki Template (Unused) (omitted)...]
[Main Storyline: Become the Core Of World (One Percent)]
[You've already formed a decent little circle; everyone likes to revolve around you, but you're too insignificant.]
"I spent so many years completing just one percent, and this is how you evaluate me?!"
Walking out of the Hokage Building, Hyuga Makoto glanced at his panel and almost laughed in anger.
He'd worked so hard for so long, and not a single kind word?
But he was too lazy to argue with the system; he wanted to quickly try out the 'Moon Otsutsuki Template.'
With that thought, he quickly ran towards the Hyuga Clan's headquarters.
Just as he entered, he heard a voice.
"Brother Makoto."
"Huh?"
Turning around, he saw Hinata walking towards him and immediately stopped, smiling.
"It's Hinata-san."
Makoto and Hinata had a good relationship, or rather, he had a good relationship with his peers and future Konoha 1s.
After all, he was going to be the 'World Condensation Core,' and as a transmigrator, he rarely harbored ill will towards anyone except a very few.
In addition, his 'sunny and cheerful' personality had earned him many friends.
Even if some were just superficial friends, they could sit down and chat about everything from stealing erasers in elementary school to choosing a gravesite in their old age...
"Brother Makoto... just call me Hinata..."
Hinata blushed and lowered her head, making Makoto scratch his head.
"But, that's the rule."
"But... Brother Makoto has helped me a lot..."
Hinata stammered, but still looked up at Makoto.
"Back then, it was Brother Makoto who found me and took me home, and it was Brother Makoto who stood up for me when I was in trouble..."
"You forgot about that little blondie?"
Hyuga Makoto couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted, not daring to let Hinata continue.
"Also, what do you need me for? Do you want to train?"
"No."
Hinata's face was still red, but her voice was now filled with fear.
"It's Father. He wants to see Makoto-nii after dinner..."
"Clan Head."
Hyuga Makoto nodded knowingly; this wasn't surprising at all.
Actually, his meeting with the Third Hokage was with Hyuga Hiashi's tacit approval.
After Hinata was kidnapped, security within the Hyuga clan had greatly improved.
What he wanted to do couldn't be kept secret.
However, because of his younger brother's situation, Hyuga Hiashi already had the idea of abolishing the Caged Bird Seal.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was even more outspoken, truly completing the era of Boruto.
Hyuga Makoto not only stayed at Hyuga Hizashi's house for several years but also found Hinata when she ran away from home and helped her out of many predicaments.
This gave Hyuga Hiashi a good impression of him, and coupled with his own thoughts, he naturally pretended not to know anything.
But now that he was already there, he definitely needed to find out what was going on.
"I understand, I'll be there on time."
"Then...then I'll wait for Makoto-nii to come..."
Hinata stammered again after talking about her father.
"And...just call me Hinata from now on..."
After saying this, she didn't wait for Hyuga Makoto to say anything more and turned to run towards the camp.
"..."
This scene made Hyuga Makoto grit his teeth. He felt like he had tricked Naruto, that little blondie.
"But I bought him the things he couldn't buy, and I took him to eat the things he couldn't eat, so that's some compensation!"
Fortunately, Hyuga Makoto recovered quickly. He decided that in the future, when Naruto wanted to buy cosmetics for his father, he would definitely help him out!
"Let's go back first and see this Moon Otsutsuki template."
Shaking his head, Hyuga Makoto turned and continued running towards his home.
He was both surprised and somewhat disappointed by this reward.
The Otsutsuki are undoubtedly the "long-lived" ninjas of the ninja world, and the strongest and most powerful beings!
It's just that the "Moon" version looks a bit like a bootleg...
But regardless, it's still better than his current Hyuga branch family form.
"If my potential can reach the level of Otsutsuki Toneri, that'll be a huge win!"
Back inside, Hyuga Makoto calmed himself before speaking softly.
"Using the Moon Otsutsuki template."
In an instant, he felt his body stiffen.
A large amount of chakra surged within him, and he could feel his physical abilities and mental strength rapidly improving.
Most importantly, this energy was constantly converging towards his eyes!
Under such a strong impact, he felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Just as he was about to collapse to the floor, the system's crisp voice rang out.
