Chapter 2 - ch 2: It's a Lie!

Early in the morning, Zhou Yan walked hazily to the bathroom toilet with a toothbrush in his mouth.

[ The MC's previous Body name is Zhou Yan, the MC's name is Chiba Inoyue. But until chapter 4, it will be Inoue instead of Inoyue ]

He squinted, yawned, brushed his teeth with his left hand, pulled down his pajama pants with his right hand, and then fumbled around.

He fumbled… and fumbled again…! Still fumbling…!

Suddenly, after three fumbles, Zhou Yan froze, as if he had taken an ice bucket challenge in the dead of winter, and he was completely awake.

After waking up, Zhou Yan looked indignant, pulled the toothbrush out of his mouth with his right hand, and was about to smash it, but just halfway through, his hand stopped in mid-air.

After pausing for two seconds, Zhou Yan chuckled self-deprecatingly, resignedly put down the toilet seat, took off his pajama pants, sat down properly, and then urinated.

At this moment, he was full of despair and felt extremely wronged.

"Sigh!..." Zhou Yan let out a helpless sigh, propped his face with his other hand, and even had two tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

To think he was a dignified post-80s modern youth with four virtues: a car, a house, money, and a girlfriend.

His life was comfortable, and his career was smooth, but everything changed with the update of Hokage Chapter 690.

Zhou Yan was a fan of Hokage, not a die-hard one, but he just enjoyed watching it. When Chapter 690 was updated, he was watching it on his phone while walking.

Just as Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Black Zetsu were sealed by Naruto and Sasuke, he missed a step, fell directly into a manhole without a cover, and heard a snapping sound along the way.

Life is like a firecracker; you never truly know when it will be lit.

[ Naruto Series is called Hokage in China ]

God played an international joke on him: he fell into a manhole and died, but his soul transmigrated into the Hokage world, becoming a seven-year-old Little girl.

[ It was originally Loli but I didn't liked it so I changed to Littlegirl instead ]

The Little girl was named Inoue Chiba, a pleasant name, with beautiful coffee-colored hair and a pretty face. Even at seven years old, one could see her future beautiful demeanor.

Zhou Yan died by falling into a manhole, but the Little girl died from over-training; when he transmigrated, the Little girl still had over twenty pounds of weights strapped to her legs.

A seven-year-old girl training so hard at home truly made Zhou Yan, an adult, feel ashamed.

For three days after transmigrating, Zhou Yan struggled to accept the fact of his transformation and spent it dreaming.

In his dreams, Zhou Yan became the Little girl Inoue Chiba.

She had a happy birth, loving parents, entered the Konoha Academy at four, and then at five, tragic news arrived: both parents sacrificed themselves on a mission, and their bodies were never recovered.

So, at five, she secretly swore to become a Ninja as soon as possible, then go to the place where her parents sacrificed themselves, hoping to find something.

The Little girl's goal was finally realized this year, as she was almost eight years old.

Because the Third Ninja War had been ongoing for over two years, many Genin on the front lines had sacrificed themselves, and reinforcements were urgently needed from the rear.

Therefore, Konoha allowed Academy students to graduate early.

Life is a series of events that have already happened; if they cannot be changed, then one can only choose to quietly accept them.

Zhou Yan had basically accepted the fact that he had become a Little girl.

Circumstances were stronger than he was, and not accepting it seemed pointless.

When others transmigrate, they often have a system accompanying them, but what about Zhou Yan? He had nothing, utterly alone, and just came over like this.

He had arrived, but before he could even adapt, he might have to go to the front lines soon and become a glorious cannon fodder.

Genin are all cannon fodder; even stronger Genin are just slightly better cannon fodder.

Besides, how strong could his body, which was less than eight years old, possibly be?

Although the former Little girl trained very hard, no matter how strong she was, she couldn't compare to Kakashi and that brother-complex Uchiha.

Those two were freaks, constantly using cheats, completely disregarding the feelings of others.

But then again, Kakashi is only 11 now, right? As for that brother-complex, he seems to be less than two years old now, still babbling "mama"!

After some internal musings, Zhou Yan tidied himself up, looked at himself in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

However, he then sighed deeply, stroking his forehead with his right hand: "It seems that after the Little girl's soul merged with mine, my behavior patterns have changed a bit! I never used to be so vain."

With short sighs and long exhalations, Zhou Yan finally left the house because he had to take the graduation exam today.

After all, the Little girl had already applied for early graduation before he transmigrated.

Now, he was at most a reserve cannon fodder, and there might still be room for salvation. If he passed the exam, he would truly become cannon fodder.

Cannon fodder, he really didn't want to be!

Becoming a Ninja early and going to the battlefield was the Little girl's wish, but not Zhou Yan's.

To save his own life, Zhou Yan made a wise decision: to go easy during the exam. This way, he would still have two years until graduation.

Although two years wasn't a lot of time, it was enough for him to build a solid foundation and increase his chances of survival.

Realizing this, Zhou Yan smiled happily.

When you're in a good mood, everything looks good!

The sun was warm, the grass smelled fragrant, and even the aggressive dog barking at him by the roadside was adorable.

The Academy was not far from his residence, only three streets away. Zhou Yan had no intention of passing the exam, so he walked leisurely, not rushing at all.

What was the content of the graduation exam? Clone Technique, shuriken, or fighting someone?

If it was Clone Technique, he would just make a mistake; after all, he was a student, and mistakes were normal.

Shuriken would be even simpler; he just had to miss the target. As for fighting? There probably wouldn't be that! That was a Chunin promotion scenario.

Zhou Yan walked and thought, he had to be careful with the degree of going easy during the exam, lest the examiner easily see through him, which wouldn't be good.

Slowly, Zhou Yan also bought some breakfast. However, he didn't notice that a Chunin in a vest was observing him from a house not far behind him, occasionally taking out a notebook to write something.

This Chunin had been secretly following Zhou Yan since he left the house, but he had never noticed.

Three streets, not a long distance, but Zhou Yan had been walking for almost three hours and still hadn't arrived.

He looked here and there, still holding a half-eaten skewer of takoyaki. This stuff was very good and perfectly suited Zhou Yan's taste.

If possible, Zhou Yan also wanted to try the famous Ichiraku Ramen, but after wandering for over three hours, he still hadn't found where Ichiraku Ramen was.

Nearing noon, Zhou Yan, after much dawdling, finally arrived in front of the school building.

"Come on!" After neatly finishing the last piece of takoyaki, Zhou Yan secretly cheered himself on.

The graduation exam only stated to gather in the 402 Classroom on the 4th floor before noon today; arriving before noon was fine, which was why Zhou Yan dared to go shopping.

Firstly, he wasn't mentally prepared to meet the real Ninja of this world yet; secondly, shopping was truly a woman's innate skill—three hours passed unknowingly, very quickly.

"Could it be that after transforming, even my shopping skills have improved? I didn't really like doing this in my previous life," Zhou Yan muttered to himself, walking up the stairs to the third floor.

This floor was a bit lively, with many people. It must be recess time now.

The third floor of the school building had a sign for the fourth floor hanging there.

He didn't know which student, envious of Zhou Yan and the others who were about to become Genin, mischievously replaced the third-floor sign with the fourth-floor one.

All the children in Konoha hoped to become Ninja, but they didn't know that Zhou Yan envied them: no pressure, and they could even play pranks all day—these were all very happy things.

Zhou Yan's destination was the 402 Classroom. He casually glanced at the students during recess, his eyes filled with envy, and then turned to the fourth floor.

The 402 Classroom was not far from the stairwell and had its door closed. He took a deep breath, cheered himself on for the upcoming exam where he would go easy, and then went to knock on the door.

Knock, knock, knock! Three knocks on the door. A voice from inside said, "Come in!" The voice was very pleasant, it was a female teacher.

Zhou Yan was delighted; his chances of successfully going easy should have increased a bit.

He pushed the door open and entered the classroom. In front, three desks were connected, and behind them, three teachers sat in a row—two males and one female.

The female teacher who said "Come in" sat in the middle, and their desks were covered with Konoha headbands.

Zhou Yan respectfully walked up to the female teacher, thinking that this exam would most likely be about Clone Technique, as he didn't see any targets or other examinees around.

"Congratulations, Inoue Chiba, you have passed the graduation exam and officially become a Konoha Ninja!" The female teacher smiled and congratulated Zhou Yan.

"…Uh!"

"…What? I didn't hear it too clearly."

"…become a Konoha Ninja!" The female teacher repeated what she had just said, looking at the dazed Zhou Yan.

But these words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking Zhou Yan to his core, with three words echoing repeatedly in his mind: 'passed'.

"How did I pass? You're lying!" Zhou Yan roared internally at this moment, unable to believe it was true.
