Chapter 2:
Ding!
Detected host is a transmigrator, system formally activated.
Name: Hagoromo Gensou
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Identity: Ninja
World: Naruto
An emotionless mechanical voice suddenly rang in Gensou's mind.
Gensou instinctively checked himself first, finding no signs of genjutsu before he relaxed. Endless thoughts surged in his mind, ultimately forming one sentiment: "This system sure took its time to arrive!!!"
At the beginning of his transmigration, young Hagoromo Gensou eagerly awaited the system's arrival, but it never came, leaving him disappointed for a long time.
Fortunately, he persevered and reached his current position.
Hagoromo Gensou could proudly say that he had achieved his current strength entirely through his own efforts, without any system help.
"So, I'm already a big shot. Why are you here now, system?"
No, wait! The system was still useful.
Looking at his dire situation, Gensou's eyes lit up. He gestured for Hashirama to wait a moment and eagerly opened the system.
This system is the Comeback System, dedicated to helping the host overcome barriers of talent, background, and resources, assisting the host in defeating all rivals on the path to becoming the strongest in the ninja world!
Please accept the beginner's gift pack.
For some reason, the word "comeback" made Gensou feel uneasy.
But seeing the promise of "becoming the strongest in the ninja world," he suppressed his doubts and looked forward to the beginner's gift pack.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Generally, beginner's gift packs, despite being for beginners, often contained extremely powerful items.
Things like the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Rinnegan, or Six Paths Sage Mode.
If it could provide something useful for his current situation, that would be great.
With such expectations in mind, Gensou mentally said: "Accept."
As the words fell, with a brilliant display of fireworks in his mind, the luxurious beginner's gift pack burst open with a "boom," and a heap of beginner gifts spilled out.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Three Basic Jutsu.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining Konoha-Style Taijutsu.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining Kunai Throwing Technique.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining Standard Genin-level Chakra.
After reading this information, Hagoromo Gensou fell silent, his initial excitement quickly fading.
Was this beginner's gift pack too beginner?
The Three Basic Jutsu, Konoha-Style Taijutsu, Kunai Throwing Technique-what were these things? He hadn't even been interested in these since he was five years old.
As for the Genin-level Chakra, Hagoromo Gensou sensed a small amount of extra chakra in his body, noticeable only upon close inspection.
But pouring a cup of water into a river had no effect.
I've already faced the Five Kage, and you're giving me beginner-level ninja stuff? "System,
did you give me the wrong beginner's gift pack?" Gensou asked repeatedly.
After verification, no error was found.
Gensou: "...System, do you think the items in the beginner's gift pack are useful for someone of my current strength?"
After verification, the beginner's gift pack is very useful to the host.
"System, are you sure your program isn't malfunctioning?"
After verification, the system program is functioning correctly.
Gensou was speechless.
But the system wasn't done yet.
Ding!
Beginner task being issued
This task is a mainline task, cannot be refused or avoided.
Failure penalty: System will no longer serve the host, host's comeback will fail.
Fine, even though the system's beginner's gift pack was a bit odd, at least its primary functions were working.
Let's see what the first beginner task is.
Maybe it has something to do with the Five Kage in front of me. Maybe it involves holding out against their combined attack for a certain time? Or even harder, defeating one or two of them? Thus earning great rewards and making a miraculous comeback? Gensou, filled with hope, accepted the beginner task.
Beginner task: Defeat Uzumaki Naruto.
Task description: As an average student at the ninja academy, you are unwilling to be ordinary and decide to embark on a comeback journey. Young man with passion, go defeat the dead-last student, Uzumaki Naruto, and take your first step on the path to greatness. Task reminder: Completing tasks will grant the host corresponding rewards. Please take tasks seriously.
What? Gensou was filled with confusion.
What kind of nonsense was this?
He knew who Naruto was.
But what era was this? Naruto's grandfather hadn't even been born yet, let alone the future
protagonist.
And when did he attend the ninja academy? The academy hadn't even been established in
Konoha yet.
System, are you sure you're functioning correctly? This beginner task clearly wasn't meant for
his current self.
Thinking of something, Hagoromo Gensou hurriedly asked:
"System, what year is it now?"
Year 60 of Konoha.
Gensou: "..."
What the hell is Year 60 of Konoha?
It's only been two years since Konoha was founded.
He finally understood everything.
This broken system had traveled to the wrong time, starting up over fifty years early.
Or maybe he transmigrated too early? Damn this comeback system!
He should have guessed from the start.
Now, facing the Five Kage alone, who else could he make a comeback against?
Hagoromo Gensou took a deep breath, trying to salvage his dignity:
"It's Year 2 of Konoha!!!"
After verification, it is confirmed to be Year 60 of Konoha.
Please follow the system's recognized timeline.
What else could Hagoromo Gensou say?
"How can this task be completed?? Give me a different beginner task!"
Please complete the beginner task as soon as possible.
"Restart the system! Bring in a smarter one."
Please complete the beginner task as soon as possible.
"Uninstall the system! What's the point of you!"
Please complete the beginner task as soon as possible.
"Trash system!!"
Gensou decided to ignore this malfunctioning system.
So what if he had to face the Five Kage head-on?
At worst, he'd die a glorious death.
He had relied on himself all his life, never cheating.
That trash system, get as far away as possible! Disappointed, Gensou put the useless system
out of his mind.
He opened his eyes, refocusing on the Five Kage around him.
For the Five Kage to join forces against him, Gensou naturally had not earned his reputation in
vain.
Calming down and letting go of everything, he fully committed to the fight. The chakra within
him surged, and a powerful pressure enveloped the entire plain.
"Let's begin."
Gensou raised his head, speaking coldly.
"It should have been like this from the start."
As he responded.
Boom! A deafening sonic boom erupted.
The pinnacle battle of the ninja world had officially begun.
