Konoha, Year 59. Early morning.
"Ah—!"
A black-haired boy around eleven or twelve suddenly shot upright from his bed.
His eyes were still closed, yet his mind was already busy deciding what to eat for breakfast.
Should I grab a pancake wrap… or some fried dough sticks?
The next second, he opened his eyes.
And froze.
The room in front of him was completely unfamiliar.
"…Huh?"
The boy immediately looked down at his body, then glanced around the room again.
"What the hell?"
"Why am I smaller?"
"And where the hell is this?!"
Before he could process anything further—
A sharp pain exploded in his head.
A flood of memories rushed into his mind.
Ten minutes later, the boy slowly opened his eyes again.
Now he understood everything.
He had transmigrated.
From that blue planet he once lived on… into the Naruto world he loved the most.
This body's name was Furukawa Ryu.
He had money.
He had a house.
And he had no parents.
If this had happened back on Earth, that would actually count as a pretty decent start.
But this was the Naruto world.
A place where everything depended on bloodlines, connections, and cheats.
And him?
He wasn't a Uchiha.
He wasn't a Senju.
He definitely wasn't an Ōtsutsuki.
There was no Nine-Tails sealed inside him.
He wasn't the reincarnation of some legendary figure either.
His parents had only been ordinary Konoha shinobi.
Both of them had died during missions.
As for this body?
No special talent.
At the Academy, his performance was below average at best.
"…Damn."
Ryu pressed a hand to his forehead.
"This is rough."
"No bloodline, no backing, no cheat… am I just screwed?"
Anyone who loved Naruto had probably dreamed of transmigrating here.
Arriving in the ninja world one day—
Beating Uchiha Madara.
Conquering Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Ryu had dreamed about that too.
But only after actually arriving here did he realize something.
In this world, where people died every day…
Survival was not easy.
Just as he was sighing in frustration—
A pleasant voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully bound to the Konoha Legends Network and become the group leader.]
"…?"
Ryu blinked.
"Wait a second."
"Don't transmigrators usually get some ridiculously overpowered system?"
"Why did I get a chat group? What's that even supposed to do?"
Ryu complained loudly.
The voice spoke again.
[The group leader may communicate with group members anytime and anywhere.]
[The group leader may decide whether group members can observe the outside world.]
"…"
Ryu rolled his eyes.
That's it?
What kind of useless feature is that?
Then the voice continued.
[With the consent of group members, the group leader may perfectly inherit their combat experience, ninjutsu… and even their bloodline abilities.]
"…WHAT?!"
Ryu instantly jumped to his feet.
His eyes lit up.
"Open it!"
"Open it right now!"
[Activating network…]
[Konoha Legends Network successfully activated.]
[Entering interface…]
[Entry successful.]
A massive chat window appeared inside Ryu's mind.
The first thing he did was check the member list.
Sure, the group sounded powerful.
But that depended entirely on who the members were.
If it was just a bunch of random nobodies, what was the point?
But the moment he saw the first two names—
Ryu nearly screamed.
Senju Hashirama
Uchiha Madara
"Holy crap… I hit the jackpot!"
Ryu was ecstatic.
Just these two alone were already enough.
Even if the group had no other members, he could still accept it.
Because if he could inherit everything from these two monsters—
He could dominate the ninja world.
But the list didn't stop there.
Scrolling down, more legendary names appeared.
Senju Tobirama
Uchiha Izuna
Hatake Sakumo
Namikaze Minato
Uzumaki Kushina
Even the "lower tier" members were people like:
Uchiha Fugaku
Uchiha Mikoto
And the weakest ones?
Even they were figures like Yūhi Shinku and Hyuga Hizashi.
In short—
Every single member in this group had once been a major figure in Konoha.
True elites.
True legends.
Of course…
They also had one very obvious thing in common.
They were all dead.
"If I can obtain their bloodlines and jutsu…"
Ryu's heart burned with excitement.
"I'll be unstoppable."
The group, however, remained silent.
No one spoke.
Ryu scratched his head.
"…Looks like the group leader has to start things off."
Since this was the group's official opening—
He decided to show off a little authority.
After thinking for a moment, he typed his first message.
[Furukawa Ryu]: Listen up. I created this group. If you're staying here, behave yourselves.
The moment the message was sent—
The group officially came to life.
Across the Pure Land, where countless souls had long since come to rest—
More than a dozen figures suddenly opened their eyes.
Shock filled their faces as they stared at the interface that had appeared in their minds.
