Chapter 1, The Correct Way to Open the System
Oh heavens! If I were given another chance, I would not care about the cold stares and mockery of others; only strength matters! I really want to be young again!" Zhengyan shouted in his heart
As the current clan leader's uncle of the Uzumaki clan, Masahiro is among the few with the highest seniority. Other ninjas of the same generation, such as cousins, have managed to attain positions as elders. As for him, he can only rely on his seniority to have the younger generation address him as 'Sir.' After all, in the world of Naruto, strength is paramount. Until today, he was not even considered an ordinary jōnin, and he had caused quite a laughable incident in his youth, so naturally, no one truly respected him. The only consolation is that Mito holds him in some regard, truly a woman capable of managing the God of Ninjas.
Zheng Yan repeatedly rubbed his eyes, but what he saw was always 47 years old. Gradually, tears blurred his vision
Wind Attribute: Level 3 (85,462 / 100,000)
Why have I crossed over to such an era? Even if I live to be seventy or eighty years old like the Third Hokage, I would at most only witness the birth of the Three Legendary Ninjas. By that time, I would just be a frail old man...
As I was thinking about these useless things, a soft sound of footsteps came from outside the door. A female voice was heard
In a hurry, he packed a few pieces of clothing and prepared his portable tools, yet Yoshihiko sat there in a daze again
Just now, his chakra level has made a breakthrough, reaching four digits. Based on years of observation, Masahiro has found that a lower ninja's ninjutsu, physical ability, and techniques are generally around 1 to 10 points, a middle ninja's around 10 to 100 points, and a high ninja requires over 100 points. Previously, his evaluation was merely that of a special high ninja, but now he has finally become an honorable ordinary high ninja, which can also be considered as a high-level cannon fodder in the Warring States period
As the time approached midnight, Zheng Yan once again looked at his attributes panel. Soon, the age section would change to 49 years old. The age before 12 was considered the foundational age for ninjas, from 13 to 24 was regarded as the rapid growth period of a ninja's strength, from 25 to 36 was seen as the slow growth period of a ninja's strength, and from 37 to 48, the strength basically stabilized and did not change. But what about after 49? Would it be the period of decline in strength? I just elevated my strength to the level of an ordinary upper-tier ninja today; would I fall back in just a few days?
Logically speaking, the Uzumaki clan was considered a prominent clan during the Warring States period. Masahiko's background was also quite distinguished, being the second son of the previous clan leader of the Uzumaki clan. He possessed exceptional talent and was not lacking in guidance from ninjas. Why, then, did it take him until the age of 48, which could be considered 'advanced age' during the Warring States period, to reach the level of an ordinary jōnin?
Let me go to the Senju clan, yet they still do not welcome me. Otherwise, why wouldn't they allow Watergate's second and third uncles to go
The girl outside the door is the granddaughter of Brother Zhengyan, and she is also Zhengyan's first "acquaintance" in this world of Naruto, the wife of the first Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails and the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, and the princess of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Mito. It was precisely her birth 15 years ago that allowed Zhengyan to determine the specific era he was in. Tomorrow, the Senju clan's wedding procession will arrive, and Zhengyan will accompany the procession as an elder of the bride, especially since Zhengyan's elder brother passed away last year. Mito's father, as the current clan leader of the Uzumaki clan, cannot attend in person, and Zhengyan, being somewhat of a free man now, is of sufficient seniority and age to accompany the procession.
Wait for me, the establishment of Konoha, World War I, World War II, World War III, World War IV, Kakashi, Guy, the Twelve Little Strong... I will definitely live on, witnessing with my own eyes the scenes and characters that were so familiar in my past life
"Second Grandfather, the welcoming procession of the Thousand Hands Clan will arrive tomorrow, so please do not forget to make some preparations."
As I pondered, my thoughts began to wander, recalling Tsunade, the granddaughter of Mito, the "novelist" perverted sage, the scientist Orochimaru, the passionate protagonist Naruto, and the domineering Er Zhuzi...
Shuriken Throwing Technique: Level 10 (100,000) (Max Level Achieved)
Earth Attribute: Level 2 (16,920 / 20,000)
Name: Masahiko Uzumaki Age: 48 years old
Damn Naruto has killed me! Masahiro often curses this descendant from who knows how many generations in his heart
Fire Attribute: lv2 ( 14490 / 20000 )
At that moment, time quietly passed the hour of Zi, and Zhengyan's attribute bar blurred for an instant. Once it became clear again, the age section had indeed changed. However, the number was not 49, but rather 47
I really still have a chance, it turns out this is the correct way to operate the system, age can actually be adjusted, I want to become younger, age will not increase by 1, but rather decrease by 1
Looking at his attribute panel, Vortex Masahiko let out a sigh. Vortex Masahiko, whose real name is Zheng Yan, is an ordinary unemployed university graduate. It has been 48 years since he crossed over to the Warring States period of Naruto, and tomorrow marks the beginning of a new year, as he is about to turn 49 "years old". When he was about five years old, during his first chakra extraction, he discovered his personal system. From the initial excitement to a sense of loss, it took less than a year. He realized that his system was not as powerful as he had imagined. There was no system sprite, no lottery module, it merely allowed him to see his attributes more intuitively.
Forget it, let's just wash up and go to sleep. Tomorrow, I will have to welcome the wedding procession; I wonder who will come. As the groom, Hashirama probably won't come in person, as he needs to wait at the Senju clan's place. Then Tobirama Senju should come, and I will have the chance to see this second Hokage of the future, the inventor of forbidden techniques, and the one who guided the downfall of the Uchiha clan.
Endurance: 68, Body: 89, Technique: 1000
Special Talent: Perceptual Ability
Understood, Mito
Comprehensive evaluation: Ordinary Jonin
Three Body Technique: Level 10 (100,000) (Max Level)
Sigh, I regret it so much, if only I could do it all over again
As a fan of Naruto, Zheng Yan, in a moment of excitement, developed a unique ninjutsu belonging to the protagonist Naruto—**Technique. During his first time on the battlefield, he became so nervous that he actually used it. From that moment on, he became the laughingstock of the Uzumaki clan, and his legend spread throughout the Land of Fire. Because of this, he spent 24 years as a single man in his previous life, and in this life, he has astonishingly been a single man for 48 years... Moreover, during the golden years from age 12 to 30, he lived under the scrutiny and judgment of others, becoming despondent, with his abilities nearly stagnating. Surviving in this chaotic warring state until this age was largely thanks to his heritage from the Uzumaki clan, which awakened a perception ability similar to that of Xiangling in later generations. However, by the time he came to terms with these taunts, time could not be reversed.
At this moment, the weary heart of an uncle was once again revitalized, thinking about the God of Ninjas, Senju Hashirama, whom he would meet tomorrow, along with his brother, Senju Tobirama, ... and he would also witness the full scope of the Senju clan, which was renowned alongside the Uchiha clan as the two great clans of the Warring States period, making Yoshihiko spend a sleepless night
