Chapter 1 Why do you all speak so aggressively?
Qingyu had asked Lord Qingtian more than once why the second time he transmigrated wasn't at all like a protagonist who was overpowered by a dragon.
In his first playthrough, he was at least an ordinary person in modern society.
Every day, we work tirelessly as cogs in the machine of society, shining brightly in our respective fields.
I burst into tears of joy when I heard that the eight-hour workday would once again take place in a land full of exploitation, a land of great beauty.
Unexpectedly, even after waiting until the very end, the horizon never appeared.
Before he died, he searched it on Baidu and discovered that the horizon is completely invisible and intangible...
I feel relieved.
Or rather, they had run out of options.
Now, the second playthrough is much better.
They threw him directly into the world of Naruto.
What's worse, his parents both died in the line of duty when he was three years old, without even leaving a last word.
All that was left for him was a private room at the Konoha Orphanage.
And five ninjutsu scrolls with a gold content no less than that of brass.
E-rank Three Body Technique, D-rank Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Technique, C-rank Earth Release: Submerged Earth.
This was all his possessions.
But it's better than nothing.
"Qingyu, what are you thinking about?"
A soft, gentle voice pulled him out of his self-pity.
Yakushi Nonou sat next to him, her yellow hair tied into two small braids, and her big eyes were looking at him with concern.
Qingyu glanced at her.
She can refine chakra in just two days at the age of six, making her one of the strongest medical ninjas in Konoha in the future.
Yakushi Nonou, known as the "Walking Shrine Maiden".
In the end, he was tricked and killed by that cunning old fox, Danzo Shimura.
"I'm thinking, some people are really lucky," Qingyu said sourly.
"Being born with talent and being able to surpass others with just a little effort is really stressful."
[The system detected that the host is causing mental stress to "Yakushi Nonou".]
[Pressure value +5]
[Obtained: Medical Ninjutsu Talent Fragment ×1]
Qingyu was stunned.
What the heck?
He's been in this world for six years, and this broken system is only popping up today?
And it happened when he was... verbally abusing others?
"What's wrong with you?" Yakushi Nonou tilted her head and looked at him, clearly not taking his previous words to heart.
Qingyu stared at her for three seconds.
"It's nothing," he said expressionlessly.
"Don't you feel it's beneath you, a talented player like you, to be hanging out with a loser like me?"
[Pressure value +3]
[Obtained: Chakra Control Fragment x1]
Pharmacist Nonou blinked and said earnestly, "Aoba isn't a loser, Aoba is very smart, and Nonou believes you will definitely find your talent!"
Qingyu fell silent.
Are you Yakushi Nono or Yakushi Kaoru?
Damn!
It actually made him feel a little guilty!
If you dare to hinder him from becoming stronger, you are already courting death!
My mind was focused on this, but suddenly a flood of information rushed into my head.
The feeling was strange, like someone had stuffed a small instruction manual into his brain.
Precise Control of Chakra: From Beginner to End
However, it is clear that this tiny fragment is only a small part of the beginning.
Although the quantity was small, it was indeed useful.
It can be considered short and concise.
He looked out the window of the orphanage at the training ground, where several Root ninjas were supervising their training.
The green striped masks and the chilling aura made them seem like a group of death gods ready to reap lives at any moment.
Dean Zhenyou stood beside them, his face filled with helplessness.
The Konoha Orphanage is nominally a welfare institution that takes in war orphans.
It's actually been the Roots' youth training camp for a long time.
Talented orphans are selected and sent to Root for brainwashing training, eventually becoming Danzo's lackeys.
That's how Nono Yakushi from the original work died.
"Aoba, tomorrow's test..." Yakushi Nonou whispered.
"Conceal your talents," Qingyu interrupted her.
"Keep your talent under wraps and don't act so outstanding."
Why?
"Because I don't want to be pressured by you," Qingyu said without changing her expression.
"You're already a genius. If you train at the Root for a few more years, won't you come back and be all over me?"
[Pressure value +2]
[Obtained: Medical Ninjutsu Talent Fragment ×1]
Yakushi Nonou's eyes reddened.
Qingyu thought to herself, "Oh no, I forgot to turn off auto-attack!"
"That's not what I meant," he quickly tried to explain.
"I mean... you want to be a medical ninja, right? Once you join Root, you can't be a medical ninja anymore."
"They only train killing machines there."
Yakushi Nonou paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he forgot to turn off the automatic target acquisition function, his intention was good.
Yakushi Nonou was also a friend of his from the orphanage.
It's just a pity about that old scoundrel Danzo!
He then looked out the window at the Root ninjas, pondering the system notification he had just received.
By putting psychological pressure on others, you can obtain fragments of their abilities.
The greater the pressure, the more you gain.
He just made a sarcastic remark about Yakushi Nono.
I obtained two fragments of medical ninjutsu talent and one fragment of chakra control.
Although the effect of a single fragment is negligible, if...
He glanced at the Root ninjas in the courtyard.
If we could put some pressure on them...
Forget it, this isn't how you court death.
"Azure Feather".
Dean Zhenyou's voice came from the doorway.
She was a woman in her thirties, with a tired smile always on her face.
"The root department will come to test tomorrow. You... just do your best."
To put it another way: You're really in a mess. You lack talent, you're incapable, you're unlikely to be selected anyway, and you don't even have a lifeline.
Just be a glorious cog in the machine of Konoha!
Qingyu looked at her and suddenly said, "Dean, do you really hate Root?"
Zhenyou's expression changed.
This is a topic you absolutely must not touch!
Young man, stay away from me, lest you spill your blood on me.
I was really worried about these thoughts, but I didn't dare to say them out loud.
Soon after, Qingyu's next words came flying in.
"I just feel..." Qingyu said slowly.
"You clearly have the ability to leave here, but you insist on staying in this dilapidated orphanage."
"Does being manipulated by someone like Danzo make you feel incredibly noble, like you're sacrificing yourself to illuminate others?"
[The system detected that the host is causing mental stress to "True Sorrow".]

[Obtained: Chakra Nature Transformation (Earth) Fragment ×3]
[Obtained: Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall Fragment x1]
Zhenyou's lips trembled slightly.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Why do you talk like that...?" with such an aggressive tone?
And what do you mean? You're going to expose me, aren't you?
"My parents died young, and I had no one to teach me. Please bear with me."
[Pressure value +15]
[Obtained: Chakra Nature Transformation (Earth) Fragment ×2]
Zhenyou opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing and turned to leave.
As Qingyu watched her departing figure, she suddenly felt that this cheat system was truly despicable.
But what could he do?
In this world where bloodline reigns supreme, how can an orphan with mediocre talent survive without some kind of cheat code?
The two male protagonists, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, are respectively the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the reincarnation of Indra.
And him? He doesn't even have a proper surname.
Does pressure make others stronger? Then let's apply pressure.
Anyway, he wasn't a good person to begin with.
Besides, isn't this the basic quality of Konoha villagers?
