Synopsis:
In Konoha's 47th year, peace is about to arrive. Hyuga Yaito, a soul transmigrated and battered by the ravages of the Third Great Ninja War, barely survived thanks to his "special" abilities...
However, Yaito knows this peace is merely a facade, the shadow of war still lingers...
But that's not the main point. Yaito wants to know how to get rid of the caged bird curse hanging over his head, ready to take his life at any moment.
Should he find the caged bird's source and solve it from the root, or use otherworldly powers to seal it away?
What is the connection between the Rinnegan and the Caged bird seal?
The system, otherworldly powers, the Shinigami's authority, the soul...
Many questions remain, but Yaito is confident that given time, he can solve them all!
"Who called me a cheater...?" Yaito said, gazing at the pitch-black, glowing bead deep within his soul...
(PS: The Shinigami refers to the Shinigami from the anime "Bleach", not any other...)
(PS2: His main abilities are based on the Kidō of the Soul Society, supplemented by abilities from other worlds ...)
Chapter 1:
On the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning lies Konoha's border outpost.
Years of war have left the stationed personnel on edge, making even the slightest sound cause instant alertness.
The atmosphere is incredibly oppressive, and people come and go in a hurry...
Even though news of the war's imminent end has reached them, no one dares to slack off.
This is the nation's border, the point of contact between two countries, where enemy movements can be detected and information relayed back.
During wartime, intelligence is paramount, determining the outcome of battles. No one dares be careless!
Especially at this critical juncture, as nations cease large-scale warfare and enter negotiations, any oversight could have dire consequences...
Inside a tent at the outpost, four figures gather. From their attire, they are a ninja team: a Jonin leader and three Chunin, a standard Konoha team configuration.
The Jonin, a young man in his early twenties wearing standard green Konoha attire and a forehead protector, has an unremarkable appearance.
The other three, two males and a female, are only teenagers, appearing young and inexperienced, yet bearing a maturity beyond their years, forged in the crucible of war.
The Jonin leader looks at his three team members, his tone slightly relaxed, perhaps due to the impending departure from this oppressive place: "Others are coming to replace us. This mission is complete; we're leaving..."
"Yes!" The three Chunin nod, two of them visibly relieved at the prospect of leaving.
"Let's go, hand over the mission, and head back to the village," the Jonin leader says with a smile, leading his team out of the tent.
After completing the handover, the ninja team disappears, heading back to Konoha.
They move swiftly through the forest, their ninja speed ensuring a quick return to the village within a few days.
Among the three team members, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl named Nami, with a few freckles on her face, turns to her captain, hopefully asking, "Captain Tsuruboi, is the war... really over?"
War is a heavy, painful word, for civilians and ninjas alike. War brings pain, displacement, and the loss of loved ones; no one is spared. If possible, no one wants war...
Captain Tsuruboi, clearly more informed, smiles at Nami: "It should be. High-ranking officials from various countries are in talks. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the war will soon end!"
"Really?" Another teenager named Daichi shows his joy. He hasn't known how long he's been waiting for this. He turns to another member of the team, excitedly saying, "Yaito, we survived! It's like a dream!!"
War is a reaper of lives; no one can guarantee survival. Those who survive need skill, but luck is the key...
After the war broke out, they, fresh graduates from the Ninja Academy, were thrust onto the battlefield. The number of ninjas is crucial; even ten-year-old children are sent to fight...
Children and teenagers on the battlefield are not uncommon in this world!
"Yes, we survived... But we can't relax. Until the war is officially over, there's still danger," says Yaito, lacking the unrestrained joy of the others.
Yaito, also thirteen or fourteen, has delicate features, wears a black ninja outfit, and has his black hair tied back.
He wears a Konoha forehead protector, beneath which are his distinctive white eyes. These white eyes reveal his heritage: he is a member of the Hyuga clan's branch family. His full name is Hyuga Yaito.
Hearing Yaito's words, the other two Chunin's expressions become serious, showing Yaito's high standing in the team.
Several times, Yaito's early detection of danger prevented them from falling into enemy ambushes. They implicitly trust his judgment.
'As expected of a Hyuga, even a branch family member surpasses ordinary ninjas...' Tsuruboi thinks, nodding.
He knows his team members well. Hyuga Yaito is undeniably the best. Although all are Chunin, Yaito's Byakugan gives him an advantage over the others.
He often detects enemies before Tsuruboi does. Their deployment to the outpost is largely due to Yaito's presence! The Byakugan is unparalleled in reconnaissance!
Seeing Nami and Daichi's tension, Tsuruboi says, "Don't worry, with Lord Hokage, the other villages shouldn't be too reckless.
Large-scale warfare is over, and we're close to the outpost; the chances of encountering enemies are minimal."
"Yes!" Nami and Daichi nod, though still vigilant.
'Yaito's words are more effective than mine. This is...' Tsuruboi shakes his head, amused, but agrees that vigilance is good. Yaito's concerns are valid; they are not yet in a safe area.
He wanted Nami and Daichi to relax after their tense time at the outpost...
The four accelerate towards Konoha.
'The Battle of Mount Kikyo is over. The Third Great Ninja War ended there, but the shadow of war remains...'
'The Fourth Hokage will soon take office. During his tenure, there will be a brief peace, which is good for me... but then comes the Nine-Tailed Fox incident...' While traveling, Yaito reflects on recent events and the future.
Thinking of the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, a pivotal moment in Naruto, Yaito's eyes narrow...
He is a time traveler, arriving in Konoha in the 47th year, during the Third Great Ninja War, taking over the body of a Hyuga branch family member in a medical camp...
Waking up in the world of Naruto, a show he'd watched countless times, and experiencing the Third Great Ninja War firsthand...
Such a frustrating situation made Yaito's mouth twitch, his mind almost exploding!
Fortunately, he also gained some advantages upon his arrival, otherwise, he would have died long ago!
His thoughts racing, Yaito's senses remain sharp. He stops abruptly: "Wait, something's wrong!"
The others stop, taking cover in a tree. They trust Yaito's perception; he's saved them multiple times.
"Byakugan!" Yaito activates his Byakugan, his vision expanding, the world shifting to grayscale.
Tsuruboi looks at Yaito, whispering, "What is it?"
Yaito's eyes narrow, whispering back, "About fifteen people are approaching. Two have Jonin-level chakra, the rest are Chunin!"
Yaito's Byakugan shows about fifteen figures surrounding them. Their target... is them!
"Two Jonin? And over a dozen Chunin?" Daichi and Nami's faces pale with fear. Jonin are elite, few in number.
Only those meeting strict requirements in ninjutsu, taijutsu, chakra control, and mission experience can become Jonin. Each Jonin is an elite, a pillar of their village, far beyond the capabilities of Chunin. And there are more than a dozen Chunin!
Tsuruboi's face also changes, but he remains calm, asking, "Do you know which village they're from?"
Yaito scans, whispering, "They aren't wearing forehead protectors or any village insignia. I can't tell..."
"Damn it!" Tsuruboi curses. Non-Konoha ninjas at this time can only be enemies!
Tsuruboi takes a deep breath, addressing his team: "I'll draw their attention; you three escape!"
As a Jonin, he can assess the situation and act decisively. They can't fight two Jonin and over a dozen Chunin.
The goal is to get as many people away as possible. Tsuruboi will be the decoy.
Nami looks at Tsuruboi, anxious: "But Captain..."
Daichi hesitates. Is escape even possible?
Tsuruboi is resolute: "Just follow orders!"
He has the best chance of escape, but leaving his team is not his style. He will stay and buy them time!
"They have a sensor ninja; they've locked onto our position and surrounded us, cutting off all escape routes," Yaito calmly states, his eyes narrowing.
Nami and Daichi look despairing.
"Damn it, who dares to attack at this critical moment? Do they want to restart the war?" Tsuruboi clenches his fists, his face grim.
Yaito's gaze deepens: "Some are blinded by hatred. It happens in all villages... These people live only for revenge."
War is a heavy burden. Hatred doesn't disappear with a ceasefire; it's passed down. Every village has extremists whose loved ones died at enemy hands.
This pain fuels their revenge, driving them to any lengths!
"Get ready, they're closing in!" Yaito warns, preparing for battle, reaching for his tools.
Nami and Daichi, battle-hardened, focus intently!
Tsuruboi says gravely, "If you get a chance, run. I'll hold them off!"
He draws his kunai, his eyes sharp. Even without hope, he will fight!
The three exchange glances, silent, tense, hiding behind trees, concealing their presence – basic ninja skills.
"Come out, Konoha rats! You're surrounded!" A taunting voice rings out. A ninja without village markings stands in a tree, his gaze fixed on Yaito and his team. They've been spotted!
Yaito's team remains silent, motionless.
"Hmph!" The ninja snorts, making hand seals: "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"
Chakra swells in his chest, and several sharp wind blades shoot towards Yaito's team!
Trees are cut in half by the wind blades.
"Damn it, it's Wind Release! Evade!" Tsuruboi's face changes, warning his team as he charges forward!
Chakra-infused kunai are ready.
