Mount Myoboku.
Deep within the towering mountain range stood a palace. Inside, a massive toad sat upon a colossal throne engraved with the kanji for "Sage."
The toad was enormous, with orange skin, a scholar's hat perched on its head, and a string of prayer beads around its neck. At the center of the beads was a gem inscribed with the kanji for "Oil."
This was the Great Toad Sage.
For many years, the Great Toad Sage had been in deep slumber. But today,...

"Sigh..."
Watching helplessly as half of his life savings vanished, Obito felt like his heart was bleeding.
Minato-sensei... If you don't put in a few extra hours at night to make this worthwhile... you're failing my hard-earned money!
Carrying the medicine package, he hurried out of the pharmacy, eager to leave this heartbreaking place behind.
The shopkeeper's wife, who had been watching the scene, chuckled softly.
"What an amusing little guy," she murm...

Minato continued explaining the finer points of the Shadow Clone Jutsu to Obito.
"…Alright, that's about it. Give it a try, Obito," Minato encouraged with a smile.
Obito nodded, forming the "Ram" seal with both hands. Slowly, he began channeling his chakra.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Poof!
A puff of smoke appeared and quickly dissipated, revealing a second Obito standing beside him. However, this clone wasn't quite right.
Its head was comically larger...

In the forest, Minato led Kakashi and Obito to a clearing and stopped. After carefully surveying the surroundings, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, we'll conduct the training here," he said.
Kakashi and Obito exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with excitement.
Minato formed a series of hand seals and called out in a firm voice:
"The shadow clone jutsu!"
In the blink of an eye, the area around them was filled with layers upon layers of Minato's shadow c...

The next day.
Just as Obito had expected, their team's first assigned mission was none other than finding a missing cat.
The three decided to split up and meet back at the designated spot before lunch.
"Nope... Not here either…"
Rin wandered through the streets and alleys, diligently searching every corner, but the cat was nowhere to be found.
Rounding a corner, she ran into Kakashi and quickly waved him over.
"Kakashi! Did you find it?"<...

The moment the word begin was spoken—
Kakashi and Obito darted out instantly, heading straight for Minato.
Both launched a barrage of shuriken mid-sprint.
Clink! Clink! Clink! Clink!
Minato smoothly drew a kunai, deflecting the incoming projectiles with swift, precise movements.
Suddenly, he felt a chill at his back.
A small smirk appeared on his lips as he sidestepped, easily evading the sneak attack of the young girl behind him.

Obito turned to the girl beside him, his excitement evident.
"Rin, this is great! We're still in the same team! Yatta, yatta!"
Rin spread her hands in mock resignation, hiding her own joy as she teased him.
"What's so great about it? Now I still have to take care of you."
"Uh..." Obito scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, completely missing the faint smile tugging at Rin's lips.
Nearby, Shikayu grumbled, resting his head in his hands.

"A day-to-day life~ filled with memories~ and experiences~"
"Stories from the past~ reminiscing while moving forward~"
Without the system's outrageous options, life had become... mundane.
Obito spent his days goofing around with Guy in the woods, occasionally chatting with Kakashi, and—well—teasing little girls.
Yep, that's right.
Why study when you can play?
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and before he knew it, Obito was approaching graduation.

The news of White Fang's death spread through the village like wildfire, amplified by those who took it upon themselves to share the tragedy.
"Did you hear? White Fang sacrificed himself to recover the village's lost interests. He completed a dangerous mission but was gravely injured and didn't survive."
"See, I told you before, didn't I? White Fang wasn't the selfish type! None of you believed me back then, but now you're all convinced, huh?"

With a weary wave of his hand, he beckoned toward the shadows.
"Since it's come to this, all of you—come out. Let's give Sakumo a grand send-off."
Dark, cloaked figures emerged silently from the shadows, their movements devoid of sound. Each bore menacing masks and gleaming blades, resembling harbingers of death come to claim a soul.
Sakumo let out a quiet sigh. He knew there was no escape today.
After surviving countless life-or-death missions, he had never thought ...

Obito set down his chopsticks, his chest tightening with a twinge of bitterness.
The girl he adored—right in front of him—was openly concerned about another guy.
Are you kidding me?
This is breaking me!

Shikayu leaned back, resting his arms lazily behind his head as he glanced at Obito.

Sakumo abruptly lifted his head, as though he had come to a decision in an instant.
"I..."
Before he could finish, the Third Hokage interrupted, his voice low and steady.
"Sakumo, don't rush your answer. This mission is fraught with peril and may put you in a life-or-death situation. Think it through carefully before giving us your decision."
Danzo furrowed his brows slightly, a trace of displeasure flashing through his eyes. However, his words carried a different tone...

The small grove was peaceful, the rustling leaves harmonizing with the whisper of the wind.
Obito was still crawling forward with great difficulty, gritting his teeth and dragging himself inch by inch.
But this time, he wasn't alone.
A green "snake" slithered alongside him, wriggling and twisting clumsily. The duo's movements were awkward, almost comedic in their synchronicity.
Obito was numb to it all.
It felt like he and Guy were reenacting The Legend of the W...

In the training ground, two figures faced each other in silence.
A cold wind swept through, lifting their sleeves as their gazes locked, sharp as blades.
Obito handed his cup to the little girl beside him without turning his head.
"Rin, could you get me some hot water? We can drink it on our way back later."
Once the little girl left, Obito rolled up his sleeves and beckoned at Nagano with a smirk.
"Come on, make it quick."
Nagano scoffed, folding his arms ...

Obito frowned inwardly.
That won't do! If I wait until next time, the system might not give me this task again!

As one of Konoha's prestigious clans, the Uchiha Clan boasted a profound heritage and mastery over countless jutsu.
Through generations, these techniques were passed down within the family, serving as both their strength and legacy.
Unfortunately, Obito's parents had perished on the battlefield.

Obito's expression darkened at the thought, but he quickly adjusted his mood, determination rekindling in his gaze.

The voice belonged to a girl dressed in black.
She had long, black hair, an unremarkable appearance, and a shy expression. A pair of tiny sunglasses rested on her young, delicate face.
It took Obito a moment before he recognized her.

Aburame Ryoko, their classmate from the academy.
What?! Obito couldn't believe it.
They got along fairly well, so why did his mind go completely blank when he saw her?

He genuinely admired this gentle senior and wanted to do something to help. But as things stood, his position was insignificant, and his strength was lacking.

Meanwhile, Obito rubbed his satisfied belly, nodding approvingly.

As Obito's imagination ran wild, Sakumo suddenly broke the silence.

After the written exam, it was time for the practical assessment.
For first-year students, this part was straightforward, consisting of only one test: shuriken throwing.
The training field was already set up with a row of targets, waiting for the students to test their skills one by one.
The scoring rules were simple:
Each student had ten shuriken to throw.
One point for hitting the first ring, two points for the second, and so on, up to ten poin...

Evening.
Obito walked along the path leading home.
As he walked, he suddenly slapped himself across the face.
"Did I just… cause trouble?"
This afternoon, his emotions had gotten the better of him, and he'd spoken at length in defense of Konoha's White Fang.
If the wrong person caught wind of this…
A belated shiver ran down his spine. His neck shrank as he nervously glanced left and right, half-expecting a Root ninja to leap out from the s...

The attack was imminent, but Obito remained unflustered.
If this had been the old him, he might not have been a match for Nagano.
But now?
Having mastered a Genin-level of taijutsu, he could only think of one thing:
All of you here are nothing but kids.
I could take down any one of you with a single punch!
Of course, exceptions had to be made for Kakashi and Guy.
The thought flitted through his mind as he faced the incoming punch.

Enough. Time to end this.
He'd already gone easy on the guy, letting him save face by not finishing the fight in a single strike. Tilting his head slightly, he dodged Nagano's punch with ease, then countered with a precise straight punch, knocking his opponent to the ground.
The force of Kakashi's punch was perfectly measured—enough to down Nagano without causing any real harm.

His entire body was on fire. Every muscle screamed in agony.
