[The timeline in the original Naruto is very chaotic, with various interpretations. The ages of important characters and the timing of events often lack definitive conclusions. I have combined information from the internet with my own understanding to refine the entire plot. There will be some changes in time and content, so I ask for your understanding!]
[Brain storage! ...]
[Finally, please enjoy, esteemed sirs!]
Konoha Year 17, Ninja Academy
The afternoon sun slanted across the corridor of the Konoha Ninja Academy, casting long shadows of the window frames. A roar, full of anger, suddenly ripped through the quiet:
"Jiraiya! Get out!"
Accompanied by the spitting of saliva from the homeroom teacher, Sarutobi Ueda, the classroom door slammed open. A small boy with a distinctive white spiky hairdo, still with a trace of bewilderment and un-faded sleepiness on his face, was roughly pushed out.
"Yes…yes, Teacher Ueda…" The white-haired boy—Jiraiya, or rather, Chen Ziye, who just a minute ago had stayed up all night to finish watching "Naruto" and lamented the original Jiraiya's ending—unconsciously responded, stumbling out of the classroom.
The door closed heavily behind him, cutting off the oppressive classroom atmosphere and dozens of gazes, some sympathetic, some gloating. Jiraiya leaned against the cold, rough wall and took a deep breath. The unique air of Konoha Village, a mix of forest freshness and the scent of everyday life, filled his lungs, bringing with it a sense of vitality and novelty.
"Holy crap… I've become Jiraiya?" He silently grimaced, his mind in turmoil. One moment he was sighing over the tragic ending of "The dragon should return to the sea, but if the sea doesn't welcome me, I, Jiraiya, will find my own way," and the next he had actually become a four-year-old white-haired brat, and because of an exclamation from his hometown that slipped out in shock, he was deemed to have disrupted class discipline and was kicked out to stand in punishment. This transmigration was truly unexpected.
He closed his eyes, trying to sort through the jumbled memories of the original owner: Ninja Academy, dead last/underachiever (nickname/insult), always being punished by standing, having two "friends" named Tsunade and Orochimaru… Wait! "Tsunade? Orochimaru?" Jiraiya suddenly opened his eyes, a strange glint flashing in his brown pupils. These two names instantly ignited a fire in his heart. He clenched his small fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms with a slight sting, but it couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart: "Jiraiya… Since I've become you, I will absolutely not repeat your mistakes! 'Doesn't welcome me'? Bullshit! I want this entire continent to remember Jiraiya's name!"
Just at this moment, a cold and clear mechanical voice sounded in his mind without warning:
[Ding! Detected strong desire to twist fate, meeting binding conditions. Host: Jiraiya (Chen Ziye), binding successful! Fate System activated!]
"Huh?!" Jiraiya stiffened all over, almost exclaiming again. He quickly covered his mouth, his heart pounding like a drum in his chest. "System? Holy crap! There's really a system?!" Immense surprise instantly overwhelmed him.
He forcefully suppressed his excitement and eagerly asked in his mind: 'System! Tell me! What are your abilities?'
[Ding! This system is the Fate System. Core function: By changing the predetermined fate trajectory of target characters, you can obtain generous rewards.]
'Changing fate? How is that calculated specifically? To what extent does it need to change?' Jiraiya pressed, the concept was a bit vague.
[Ding! Character list has been sent to the host's consciousness space, please check.]
Before Jiraiya's eyes (or rather, in his mind) immediately appeared rows of glowing text:
[Fate Mission List (Long-term · No Penalty Mechanism)]
Hint: A critical Twist in the target character's fate is considered completion. Upon completion, rewards will be issued and subsequent new fate missions will be unlocked!
1. Protect Tsunade's smile! Be her boyfriend! How can such a cute girl be given to someone else? Keep her away from emotional pain and decadence!

10. Keep the hope of the Senju family! Nawaki, little brat, live well, and witness your sister's happy wedding with your own eyes!
Jiraiya read through each one, his mouth opening wider and wider, until it could practically fit an egg. Dumbfounded was an understatement for his current feelings.
"Holy moly!" He almost couldn't control his volume, roaring at the system in his mind: "You dog system! Are you messing with me?! Some of these missions won't be encountered until the year of the monkey and horse (a very long time)! Nawaki's accident, Rin's death, Sakumo Hatake's suicide… those are all twenty or thirty years in the future! I'm only four years old now! How am I supposed to complete them?!"
[Ding! Reiteration: Missions are long-term in nature, with no forced time limit. Completing a critical node twist is considered success. There are no penalties for mission failure. Please host remain calm and proceed slowly.] The system's voice remained steady and unruffled.
"Hoo… hoo…" Jiraiya took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down. No penalties, no time limit… This was barely good news, but the pressure was still immense. He rubbed his face, then suddenly remembered something crucial: "Oh right! What about the New Player Gift Pack ? System, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you? What about the transmigrator's Welfare ?!"
[Ding! Newbie gift pack issued, please check:]
