Chapter 0002: First Arrival in Konoha

Well, I do not intend to participate either

Perhaps the other party indeed possesses some task information, but he does not believe that it contains what he desires

The ground is covered with puddles everywhere.

Younger brother, once you have figured things out, you can come to find your elder brother. Right now, we are the only ones you can rely on.

... ...

Upon seeing Xu Yue's refusal, Xiong Tao quickly turned around and earnestly said

However, with this qualification, it merely means possessing the abilities of a student from the Ninja Academy. At the beginning of the Naruto series, Naruto, who was truly at the bottom of the class, was already able to jump around on rooftops.

I am truly sorry, I have made up my mind, even if I have to continue, I am prepared to fully enjoy the final moments

As Xu Yue was summarizing some intelligence he had gathered, another shout interrupted him

This damned space is not a place I want to stay in, but in order to leave, I must have enough points.

With this attitude of cold detachment, while quietly planning something in the mundane days, the caravan finally arrived at its destination

Cough, I wonder if my younger brother has noticed that all of us present are of Chinese descent

It was that plump merchant who moved beside Xu Yue and whispered to him

Hello, hello, brother, I'm calling you, what are you thinking about

Of course! As long as one has enough points, there is an opportunity for us newcomers to exit, although it will result in the erasure of related memories

Upon seeing several faces displaying excitement, a trace of untraceable disdain flashed in Xiong Tao's eyes, yet he still wore a smile on his face

From the judgment of this message, it is exceedingly difficult for even seasoned reincarnators to alter the course of the plot. More likely, they can only go with the flow and adapt to the circumstances. The protagonists in the task space remain those 'natives'.

At the very least, in such a bewildering environment before us, coupled with the confidence brought by his previous performance, many people instinctively chose to believe.

In summary, by associating with him, one can enjoy a life of luxury and indulgence if desired, or choose to withdraw and lead a peaceful life; this grand vision is indeed well-articulated

Oh, it is only natural. However, as long as everyone follows me, this endless cycle of space will be even better than reality. Just think about those big shots in reality, those peculiar sources of technology. We are capable of returning to the present world, and if we truly do not wish to, there is also the opportunity to permanently escape this space.

Based on the intelligence injected into the space and in conjunction with the previous analysis of the questions posed to the 'narrator', it is evident that acquiring power within the cycle space is not a simple task; the first three missions can be considered as a novice phase

He only had a sheepish smile on his face and did not explain the reason

In the caravan heading to Konoha, a dozen or so reincarnators were arranged together separately. In terms of identity, they were all orphans from the Second Shinobi World War, and they had been identified as possessing the qualifications to become ninjas

The more than ten newcomers are all of Chinese descent, which is difficult to describe as mere coincidence. This indicates that this reincarnation space is still divided into regions. Although they have only recently arrived in this world, they are aware that the current Huaxia is not too different from this historical period; the Qing government has not yet collapsed and is barely maintaining its rule.

Task commenced, the newcomer bonus has been fully applied

Since you have already made your decision, I respect your choice. We will all be in the same village at that time, and if you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me. I will certainly help as much as I can

Xu Yue quietly watched them chatter away, showing no intention of interrupting the conversation

However, this kind of integration cannot be achieved merely by following a step-by-step approach; it is essential to participate in my program.

It is also very likely that something has been specifically targeted in the cycle of reincarnation.

In addition to the prevailing herd mentality, apart from the three individuals who, under the leadership of the first responding intellectual studying abroad, headed towards other ninja villages, all others chose to follow the well-connected and informed Xiong Tao to Konoha.

Xu Yue's words did not raise any suspicions among others

Liu Shengcai does not seem to be discouraged; he wishes to attract Xu Yue's attention, and Xu Yue is indeed somewhat surprised.

"Can we really go back?" A young woman, still dressed in her pajamas and possessing an attractive figure, expressed her excitement with a look of eagerness.

Those lower ninjas who have no talent, no bloodlines, and no external aids, but instead rely solely on the accumulation of experience to gradually rise, are the most authentic lower ninjas. Using them as a reference, achieving such a level after three tasks is actually quite challenging for an ordinary person

Perhaps, in this era, there is still a lack of such information, which seems somewhat amusing...

When the task information was revealed, and hearing that the time frame was only three months later, Xu Yue couldn't help but frown, as it was shorter than he had anticipated

It turns out that one does not necessarily have to be trapped in endless reincarnation. Another middle-aged man, who appears even rounder than Xiong Tao and resembles a businessman, also seems somewhat relieved

Indeed, Liu Shengcai then began to elaborate on his analysis, which was generally similar to Xu Yue's. However, it seemed that he intended to use this information to gain Xu Yue's trust and to pique his interest

Looking up, one could see that all the other reincarnators in the open carriage were gazing at oneself, and the one asking questions was none other than Xiong Tao, who had subtly become the leader among the crowd.

I am Liu Shengcai, and I do not know your esteemed name

Xu Fu

Newcomers can choose to enroll in the Ninja School while also taking on D-rank missions in the village during their spare time. The performance in the Ninja School, the completion of missions, and interactions with key characters in the storyline will all be factored into the final evaluation

This indeed left Liu Shengcai at a loss for words. What he said was half true and half false; he genuinely believed this, but his intention was to use this familiarity to win over this foolish young man, so that when necessary, he could gain his trust and create more opportunities.

Task duration: 3 months

Originally, according to the task rules, after the announcer completed the explanation, all newcomers had the opportunity to independently choose to go to any ninja village. However, due to the influence of a person named Xiong Tao, a significant promise was made, along with generous rewards.

At the very least, the task space at the level of Naruto is like this

It seems that this fellow has also discovered it, truly a businessman.

Brother, you cannot do this. I have heard my uncle say that those who give up struggling and fighting will definitely not survive more than three tasks. Do not think that every task will be like the first one, giving us time to adapt and posing no danger

However, this news holds no significance for the current novice task

Then the others huddled on the other side of the open carriage, beginning to speak in low voices, perhaps due to the confidentiality agreement regarding the newcomer, not a whisper could be heard.

In the end, one can only reluctantly give up

Certainly, Xu Yue would never underestimate the strength of the so-called lower ninjas. One should not be misled by the fact that upon arriving in Konoha, they all transform into the bodies of five or six-year-old children, while simultaneously possessing a novice buff that doubles their physical attributes compared to when they were adults

However, upon seeing his expression, Xiong Tao's face changed slightly, yet he did not say much, not even a word of encouragement

A line of people, amidst each other's astonished gazes, transformed into the image of children that had always existed in the eyes of outsiders, as a group of young boys and girls appeared at the entrance of Konoha

After all, the physical quality buff for newcomers will disappear after the second task, and it is still uncertain whether an ordinary person can obtain such starting conditions at the beginning of the second task

The hardened dirt road has also become muddy due to the rain, causing a slow pace of progress

It is quite evident that his plans have all failed. Xu Yue has always maintained an indifferent demeanor, as if to say, 'There are only a few days left to live, why bother with anything else?' Even though Liu Shengcai spoke eloquently and nearly exhausted his breath, it did not provoke any significant reaction.

When Xiong Tao managed to calm everyone down and proposed to overdraw 100 points to sign a confidentiality agreement for newcomers, Xu Yue finally spoke up to interrupt.

According to his words, during the fourth promotion task, one would be able to reach the level of a lower ninja, and if luck is on their side, they would be able to successfully advance.

Finally, do not forget to give a hint again

In response, Xu Yue instinctively adopted his signature expression, which had long since become a habit to the point of numbness, and spoke in a voice that was gentle yet tinged with bitterness

Xu Yue is naturally a pseudonym from the past, and it is uncertain whether the other party's name is real or fake. In any case, it is merely a code name, and it is better not to expose it casually, as it is still grounded in the real world.

On a trade route cleared through the jungle, a large convoy is advancing slowly, the fresh air after the rain carries a hint of earthy fragrance that brings a sense of relaxation and intoxication

In order to maintain his own image, although Xiong Tao harbored considerable dissatisfaction in his heart, he still encouraged himself

When a gate that possesses the same appearance as those in anime, yet is far more grand and awe-inspiring, appears before them, a voice resonates in the minds of all the newcomers

Although their appearances have not changed, they seem to have transformed into children in the eyes of those merchants

When a person can wear a mask for a lifetime, it is not unreasonable to consider the mask itself as his character

Xiong Tao also expressed in a hearty manner, his slightly plump face showing a bit of quivering fat, yet he articulated the expectations that many people hold deep within their hearts

After speaking, he still displayed a sincere expression of apology on his face

Task: As a novice trial task, there will be no compulsion. As a new reincarnator, make the most of this precious time of peace to acquire knowledge and refresh minor tasks

Meanwhile, the mech legions and Jedi legions from abroad have emerged, while in Huaxia, the situation remains one of semi-colonialism, which is indeed somewhat speechless. Regardless of the time and space, it seems that 'Our Great Qing' possesses sufficient capabilities for squandering.

Hehe, Brother Xu should also be an understanding person. As a businessman, I have never believed that pies fall from the sky. The bigger the claims he makes, the greater the risks and problems involved. Now we are like grasshoppers on the same rope, so we will need to look out for each other when the time comes

Moreover, according to the cues from the space, when they arrive at their destination and disembark, they will truly transform into the image of children, retaining their adult physical strength while simultaneously gaining a doubling of the physical attributes of a novice.

As for the so-called lower ninjas, excluding Sasuke, who just graduated and defeated the Akatsuki with the help of external aids, if we only consider the supporting rain ninja who was effortlessly killed by Gaara during the Chunin Exams, even that supporting lower ninja's technique, "Ninjutsu: Thousand Cherry Blossoms Like Rain Dew," is sufficient to eliminate all the enhanced newcomers present.

The novice trial task has commenced

Even a bitter smile can bring a hint of warmth, combined with an inherently sunny disposition and a touch of handsome charm, culminating in a fleeting expression of despair and sadness that resonates deeply

Brother Kong Tao, I truly apologize. I currently feel somewhat lost and wish to have some peace and quiet. Upon arriving in the village, I hope to lead a tranquil life and do not wish to undertake any tasks

It has just been completed on Xu Yue's side, while another unexpected individual also expressed a reluctance to participate, specifically the second one, who showed relief at having the opportunity to return to the present world, the plump merchant.

Xu Yue is naturally one of them

Xu Yue's expression of utter disillusionment, combined with a hint of warmth even in the bitter smile, is indeed quite deceptive

To achieve one's goals within three months, it is necessary to take certain risks; it is a straightforward approach, isn't it

I apologize, I was just a bit lost in thought. Reflecting on the fact that I will be sinking into this endless task in the future leaves me feeling somewhat bewildered

The task is a routine task, and there are neither penalties nor rewards for battles between reincarnators

Leaves of the Tree

Liu Shengcai presented a sincere demeanor as he spoke to Xu Yue, yet Xu Yue remained indifferent, displaying an air of disinterest and apathy.

It does not matter anymore; living one more day is considered a gain.

Well, in Xu Yue's eyes, both Xiong Tao and Liu Shengcai are quite similar to modern pyramid schemes, akin to those individuals who claim that an investment of 66,000 will yield a return of 18 million in three years.

If hypocrisy can last a lifetime, then it is true goodness

Somewhat interesting

It easily garnered the goodwill of others, and coupled with resonant remarks, many people displayed similar expressions on their faces
