Land of Fire.
Deep within a primeval forest so vast it could make a person cough up blood from walking, lay a dilapidated cave hidden from the sun.
In the darkness, two points of glowing green light suddenly lit up.
They were eyes.
"Awoo—!!!"
A wolf's howl rang out, but the sound carried a sense of panic and breakdown unique to humans.
Deep inside the cave, Yang Jiu was frantically spinning in circles using a brand-new posture—on all fours.
He had just accepted a cruel reality: he had turned into a wolf.
A genuine, fur-covered, four-legged wolf.
"Wait... where's the director? Where's the screenwriter? Who wrote this script?!" Yang Jiu wanted to roar, but what came out were two "ow-ow" sounds.
He slumped on the ground in despair, his wolf tongue hanging out, his entire wolf face the picture of utter hopelessness.
"I just managed to get the school beauty to go to a small hotel... A! Small! Hotel! Do you guys understand what that means? Huh? The highlight of my life! I was just one step away!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, his four legs kicking wildly at the ground.
"I don't want to be reborn! I don't want to transmigrate! I just want to be an ordinary college student! Dating! Playing games! Eating takeout! Who wants to be a wolf, hey!!!"
His "ow-ow-awoo" howls echoed in the cave, sounding like someone rapping in wolf language.
After struggling for five minutes, he collapsed on the ground panting, his wolf eyes staring blankly at the sliver of daylight at the cave entrance.
Fine.
There really was no going back.
That school beauty who was almost his, that dream night at the small hotel—all gone.
Yang Jiu covered his face with his wolf paws and let out a long, long sigh.
[Ding! Host detected, Strongest Race System binding!]
[Host race detected as Wolf Clan. System automatically converting to—strongest wolf clan system!]
[Initial Gift Pack has been distributed and stored in the system warehouse.]
[Latest mission released: Beginning of the Wolf Clan—Own five or more Wolf Clan members.]
[mission rewards: 100 EXP, 100 Points, Mass Enlightenment, Racial Talent: Wind Body, Racial Ninjutsu: Storm Blade]
—
The cold electronic notification exploded in his mind, and Yang Jiu's whole body stiffened.
"Holy crap... for real?"
He jumped up, his wolf eyes wide.
The next second, a translucent virtual panel materialized in front of him—
[strongest wolf clan system]
Race: Wolf Clan
Level: 1 (0/1000)
Members: 1
Racial Talent: None
Racial Ninjutsu: None
Racial Points: 0
[individual wolf panel] [mission] [Warehouse] [mall]
"It's... it's real!!!"
Yang Jiu was stunned for a full three seconds, and then—
"Ow-ow-awooo—!!!"
A howl burst from his throat, startling countless birds in the forest.
It's worth it! This is totally worth it! What's losing a school beauty and a small hotel compared to this?
Transmigrated with a system—with the system in hand, the world is mine! School beauty? Go play somewhere else!
"—Wait!!!"
Yang Jiu stopped abruptly, his eyes fixed on the word "Ninjutsu" on the panel.
No way, no way...
He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing.
"I didn't... besides being reborn and transmigrating... also freaking transmigrate into the Naruto World, did I???"
His heart pounded.
If that's the case... then this is a massive win!
Trembling, he opened the individual wolf panel:
Name: Yang Jiu
Race: Ordinary Gray Wolf
Strength: Ordinary
Talent: None
Ninjutsu: None
The individual wolf panel didn't show much, so he clicked on the mall.
The next second, his pupils dilated in shock.
Rinnegan—Price: 1,000,000 Points
Tenseigan—Price: 1,000,000 Points
Sage Body—Price: 800,000 Points
Sharingan (One Tomoe)—Price: 1,000 Points
...
It was all stuff from the Naruto World.
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
Yang Jiu threw his head back and laughed, his wolf mouth grinning from ear to ear.
It really is Hokage! It really is the Naruto World! And with a freaking system!
Isn't this taking off? If this isn't taking off, what is?
Although he didn't watch anime often, he had at least seen Hokage. Those Ninjutsu, those Bloodline Limits—especially the Sharingan, they were cool as hell!
Now, it was finally his turn to stand out among wolves!
"Wait, there's also an Initial Gift Pack."
He licked his lips, his eerie green wolf eyes gleaming.
In the warehouse, a small golden gift pack lay quietly, as if saying: Open me, hurry up and open me.
Yang Jiu took a deep breath and tapped it with his wolf paw—
"Open, my golden legend!!!"
With a thought, the small gift pack suddenly exploded into a blinding silver light.
[Obtained: Talent - Wolf Kings Pressure]
[Obtained: Beginner Physique Enhancement]
[Obtained: Language Mastery]
[Obtained: Chakra Refining Technique]
Buzz—
Light flooded into his body like a tide. He trembled all over and couldn't help but let out a low groan.
His originally 1.5-meter-long (including tail), scrawny wolf body was now filling out at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Shriveled muscles began to bulge, coarse fur took on a luster, and even his drooping tail subconsciously straightened.
It was as if a pair of invisible hands were molding this broken body, bit by bit, back into what it should have been.
A moment later—
The scrawny gray wolf in the cave had disappeared.
In its place was a giant wolf 1.6 meters long with a shoulder height of 80 centimeters.
Stout limbs stepped firmly on the ground. Under the gray-white fur, the bulging muscle lines were smooth and powerful, as if every inch contained explosive strength.
"Phew—"
A long stream of white vapor was slowly exhaled from the wolf's mouth.
Yang Jiu lowered his head slightly, examining this brand-new body.
He raised a front paw and exerted force; the hard rock floor was instantly plowed with several deep scratch marks.
Is this... power?
He narrowed his wolf eyes, feeling the ceaseless heat flowing through his limbs and bones. That sense of fullness surging from the depths of his marrow made him tremble involuntarily.
"Comfortable."
He uttered a word, his wolf mouth slightly widening to reveal forest-white fangs.
"And this is just Beginner Physique Enhancement..."
Yang Jiu looked down at his stout front paws, his eyes burning.
There will be intermediate and advanced levels later.
When that time comes, what kind of sight will it be?
It's in the bag.
He tried stretching his muscles and bones, which let out faint popping sounds, his whole body filled with an unprecedented sense of power.
"With my current physique, as long as I don't run into a Ninja, I should be safe in the forest."
Pausing, he remembered something else, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his wolf eyes.
"Language Mastery is also good—now I can understand the speech of all races, including the languages of other beasts."
The only pity is...
Yang Jiu shook his head somewhat dissatisfied.
Although I've got the Chakra Refining Technique, I can't have Chakra immediately; I still have to refine it myself bit by bit.
Can't rush it, can't rush it.
He took a deep breath, pulling his attention back to the system.
To dominate Hokage, he had to rely on the system, so he had to understand it thoroughly.
A few minutes later, Yang Jiu narrowed his wolf eyes, showing a look of realization.
The system gameplay was simple—do missions, earn points and EXP.
EXP is used for leveling up.
Every time he levels up, he can unlock one racial talent and one racial Ninjutsu.
The key is that racial talents and Ninjutsu are shared by the entire Wolf Clan; even a newborn wolf cub can automatically inherit them as long as they join the pack.
In other words, as long as his level is high enough, the entire Wolf Clan can take off with him.
As for points...
Yang Jiu glanced at the Rinnegan and Sharingan in the mall, and his mouth almost grinned to his ears.
Boy, they're all good things. It's just that the prices are ridiculously expensive.
He withdrew his gaze and opened the mission list.
Currently, there was only one mission hanging there lonely:
[Beginning of the Wolf Clan—Own five or more Wolf Clan members]
[mission rewards: 100 EXP, 100 Points, Mass Enlightenment, Racial Talent: Wind Body, Racial Ninjutsu: Storm Blade]
Yang Jiu licked his lips.
Five wolves, huh?
In this forest, there's a shortage of everything except wolves.
