Chapter 1 Sorry, I'm an Undercover Agent
"Hiruzen, hand Hanekawa over to me!"
Shimura Danzo said sternly, getting straight to the point. "He's too dangerous! He might be a spy for Kumogakure (the "Village Hidden by Clouds")!
"He's not."
Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe and said calmly.
"Don't forget what happened when Kushina was kidnapped by The "Village Hidden by Clouds"!
Shimura Danzo snorted, reminding him, "Hanekawa is an orphan adopted by Nono; he should have joined Root."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You need to understand, this orphanage is Konoha's orphanage, not Root's."
Shimura Danzo was annoyed by this and couldn't help but say, "Hiruzen, you..."
"Are you saying I'll regret it?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted his chant, saying, "I won't regret it."
Shimura Danzo stammered, his language system in disarray.
Damn Hiruzen, was this part of your plan too?
Should I congratulate you for learning to answer first? These are all my lines!
He wanted to say, "I am the Hokage," but he couldn't.
*Bang!*
Shimura Danzo stormed out, furious.
After a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said, "Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"
These words made him feel much better.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the empty door and shook his head.
Being a Hokage's assistant meant you only needed to talk back, but being the Hokage required considering many things.
"Haru, have someone change the door. Put the cost on Danzo's account."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked down at Hanekawa's file on the table. Hanekawa, male, six years old, a war orphan, adopted by Nono Yakushi.
During a check-up by the Yamanaka clan ninjas, he unleashed terrifying mental power.
The investigation revealed it wasn't due to triggering a pre-planted spy ninjutsu, but rather a problem with his mental power.
Without any training, his mental power was several times stronger than his peers.
"Nonou is Danzo's subordinate; we can't let him live in the orphanage,"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said thoughtfully.
Yin Release represents spiritual power, such as the secret techniques of the Yamanaka and Nara clans, or the Sharingan.
But ninja clan secret techniques are never passed on to outsiders,
unless they are commoner ninjas.
"Kurenai Yuhi,"
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself.
Kurenai Yuhi was a commoner Jonin proficient in genjutsu and an instructor for Chunin and Genin; she was very suitable.
…
Hanekawa suddenly opened his eyes, feeling pain all over his body, as if he had hit the jackpot, or as if he had been ravaged by dozens of young women.
He looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, subconsciously glancing around, and couldn't help but show a blank expression.
Where did I come from? Is this still my room?
Where are my Rin Tohsaka, Celestine, Tsunade, and Tifa figures?
While he was in a daze, something suddenly forcefully entered, and countless memories began to flash back.
He had transmigrated, or rather, awakened the memories of his past life.
Good news, he's in Konoha now.
Hanekawa has watched *Naruto*, and in the chaotic ninja world, Konoha is relatively safe.
Be careful, and wait for the overpowered Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to save the world; maybe he can survive until the finale.
Bad news, he's a spy for Village Hidden by Clouds.
Hanekawa was born in Village Hidden by Clouds and was chosen as a spy to gather intelligence in Konoha because of his exceptional intelligence.
Soon, he faced his first hurdle: an inspection.
In Konoha, the Yamanaka clan's secret technique can make corpses talk, let alone living people.
But he fainted during the inspection.
Thinking of this, Hanekawa broke out in a cold sweat, restless and uneasy.
Had he been exposed?
What happens to undercover agents? This is even recorded in *Infernal Affairs*.
Just then, a few lines of text appeared in his vision.
[System loading.]
[You have loaded the Ninja Entry System.]
[Achieving specific conditions will grant corresponding entries; certain special entries can be synthesized into higher-level entries.]
[Entries are divided into E, D, C, B, A, and S ranks; there are three main categories: Ninjutsu, Ninjutsu Tools, and Talents.]
"Hmm?"
Hanekawa's eyes widened in surprise.
Had his cheat system arrived?
As a ninja with no bloodline, no secret techniques, and no ninja clan, he was practically helpless in the ninja world.
Now, finally, there was hope, and thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
Hanekawa studied the system and found it extremely simple, with only one attribute panel displaying the attributes he had acquired.
[A-Rank Talent Attribute: Infiltrator.]
[Trigger Condition: Newbie Gift Pack.]
[Effect: When others investigate, your memories will be falsified.]
[Note: Cannot be synthesized.]
Excellent.
A classic newbie gift pack.
Hanekawa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; now he didn't have to worry about the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques.
[C-Rank Talent Attribute: Innate Full Soul.]
[Trigger Condition: Fusion of two lifetimes' souls.]
[Effect: Yin Release talent is increased by 100% on top of its original value.]
[Note: Cannot be synthesized.]
Why isn't Innate Full Soul Power awakened Blue Silver... oh wait, it's Wood Release?
Hanekawa fell silent.
Yin Release is difficult to deal with.
He didn't have the Sharingan, and he wasn't from the Yamanaka or Nara clans, so was he supposed to learn genjutsu?
But genjutsu ninjas were best left unmentioned.
Kurenai Yuhi spent her entire life learning genjutsu, yet it was nothing compared to the Uchiha clan casually opening their Sharingan.
Since things had come to this, he should eat first.
Hanekawa felt a strong pang of hunger.
He suddenly showed a regretful expression.
"Damn it! My holy sword!"
Hanekawa remembered before he transmigrated, he was staying up all night playing duels and playing with his head. Then, in the blink of an eye, a lifetime had passed.
He didn't know what state he was in in his previous life; if he was missing, his phone would definitely have been hacked.
Just thinking about it made him blush.
The sound of a door opening rang out.
Hanekawa subconsciously looked up at the girl who had just entered.
Calling her a girl wasn't accurate; she was a beautifully sculpted loli.
Most striking were her ruby-like eyes.
Hanekawa couldn't help but look puzzled.
Who was this?
Where was he? It definitely wasn't an orphanage; he remembered the children from the orphanage.
But for him, this was a good thing.
The pharmacist Nono, who managed the orphanage, was a subordinate of Shimura Danzo.
If he were targeted by the Kage, he would be force-fed the Will of Root and unable to escape being tormented.
"You're awake?"
Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile. "I'm Kurenai Yuhi."
"Hanekawa."
Hanekawa looked at the pretty loli's smile and felt a sense of relief.
It was Kurenai Yuhi. Wait… Kurenai Yuhi?
In the original work, she married Asuma Sarutobi and eventually became a widow.
"Can you walk?"
Kurenai Yuhi paused, then said, "I'll take you to see my father; he'll explain for you."
"I can walk."
Hanekawa got out of bed, silently calculating.
Kurenai Yuhi's father was Yuhi Shinku.
So her father's name was Yuhi Shinku?
The name might be a bit hasty, but he wasn't a subordinate of Shimura Danzo.
As a genjutsu Jonin, the one who could command him was most likely the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The reason it's Hiruzen Sarutobi, and not Minato Namikaze, is because Kurenai Yuhi is too young, most likely not even the Fourth Hokage yet.
While Hiruzen Sarutobi is controversial, he truly dedicated his life to Konoha.
Compared to Danzo Shimura, he's relatively benevolent, at least he wouldn't place cursed seals on your private parts, like the Tongue-Severing Seal.
Lighthearted, invincible, and with multiple female leads. Those interested should remember to follow along, meaning try to read to the last chapter every day. It's too hectic now, you might get overwhelmed if you're not careful. Thank you all! Two updates daily during the new book period.
