In general, everything in a class looks normal. There's a teacher's explanation, the sound of pen on paper, and a conversation between bored students.
But if you pay attention, you'll notice that there's a student who stares blankly at the blackboard or rather, at the floating screen in front of him.
"..."
He checked to see if anyone else was aware of what he was seeing. Miraculously, none of them were.
'System? A system?' He had no idea he had one.
Moreover, it took him only a few minutes to realize that he had transmigrated or perhaps been reincarnated from another world. Then, he was surprised by the appearance of a system.
'I mean... I came home from work, Very tired and decided to sleep. Of course, I cleaned my body first. Then, when I lay down on the bed, I blinked my eyes once.'
He blinked and tried to pinch his arm quite firmly.
"..."
'It hurts...' He sighed and asked, 'What is this?! I just blinked, and—BOOM! Here I am.'
He tried to remember if he had really gone home safely or if he had actually met Truck-kun on the road.
"..."
He was certain that all of this was real, and that he was either a transmigrator or a reincarnator. However, there was still doubt in his heart. He hoped that this was just a very real dream.
'Lucid dream?' Then he shook his head. 'But I think this is not a lucid dream. I don't know because I've never experienced one. Can a lucid dream really happen?'
"..."
'Well... Dream or reality? It doesn't matter, whatever it is, I just need to live it and enjoy it.'
He decided not to overthink it and tried to accept it. Reading many fantasy stories seemed to help him accept the absurd situation with relative calm.
"---Ji."
"..."
"SOUJI!"
Lost in thought, he was startled to hear someone call his name.
'Wait! Me?'
He blinked and saw people around him staring at him in amazement.
"..."
They were all silent, making the atmosphere feel strange.
"..."
If this were a horror movie, he wouldn't hesitate to run away from this place as far as possible.
Just imagine their pale faces staring blankly at him in silence, accompanied by the weather that starting to turn dark and drizzly.
He suddenly got goosebumps.
'Um... Does this story fall under the horror genre? Because if so, my legs are ready to run as fast as I can.'
(AN : ...)
Suddenly, a piece of chalk shot right at him and hit his forehead.
Tack
Headshot!
The pain in his forehead brought him back to his senses, as well as the realization that what he was experiencing was not a dream.
'This is real! ONE PIECE IS REAL!'
"..."
"..."
———————————————————
In short, Souji was punished by his teacher and made to stand in front of the class. That wasn't a problem for Souji. He had plenty of time to think and observe his surroundings.
Thanks to his teacher, he knew his name was Souji.
'Japan, huh?'
He guessed that he had reincarnated in the same world, but at a different time. From where he was standing, he could see buildings, pedestrians, and a road that wasn't made of asphalt.
However, that theory was shattered when he heard his teacher inside the classroom explaining the history of "Konoha."
Souji thought it was just a coincidence. The Konoha he knew was a ninja village where a protagonist named Uzumaki Naruto was born and raised.
But when he heard about how the Third Hokage led Konoha with his strength, knowledge, and wisdom, Souji fell silent.
"... "
'The Professor? The strongest Hokage? One hundred percent Hiruzen.' He believed that he was indeed in Konoha.
'And... I am a student at the ninja academy?'
He thought that if he were a student at the Ninja Academy, he would at least have the qualifications to be a ninja.
But to reach the Kage level?
Oh, come on.
Maybe if he came from a certain clan, he could reach that level.
But more than that?
Impossible.
Unless he was on the same path as Orochimaru or Hiruko. Even then, it's still just a possibility.
Without the help of the system, maybe he could reach the Jonin level, or at least approach it.
'Oh, don't forget about Guy. Maybe I could be his student if I'm really that bad.'
"..."
On the system screen, especially, it still says "Processing" with an hourglass symbol that doesn't move. He doesn't know how long the process will take.
'Setting that aside, I have no other memories of this "new" life besides my own name.'
Where do I live? Do I have a family?
"..."
He could only sigh.
"..."
"..."
———————————————————
As the saying goes, "He who is ashamed to ask goes astray." That's exactly what Souji is experiencing right now.
After class ended and the teacher dismissed them, he wanted to ask his teacher for his home address. However, he felt that something bad would happen if he asked.
Asking someone for their home address isn't strange, is it?
"..."
'Damn Danzo! Because of him, I've become paranoid.'
"..."
Is "forgetting" a strong enough reason? Isn't it normal for humans?
You forget this or that.
Moreover, I'm still a child, so it's natural for me to forget something like that, right?
"..."
Souji glanced to his side and saw a boy putting books into his bag.
"Hey," Souji called out.
The boy turned toward him, then looked left and right while pointing at himself.
"Me?"
Souji nodded.
"Yes, you. What's your name?"
"My name is Yuu."
Souji fell silent for a moment. Hearing that made him want to be a Detective Carter in Rush Hour 3.
But he held back; there were more important things.
"Do you know where I live?"
"No." He answered, shaking his head.
"... "
"..."
"Do you know anyone who knows where I live?"
"No." He answered again without thinking.
"..."
"Do you know who my friends are?"
"I don't know."
"..."
"Are you deaf?" Souji asked.
"Huh?"
"Never mind." Souji said, carrying his bag and leaving Yuu, who was still silent, behind.
"..."
"You're weird." Yuu muttered. "Wait... Did he just call me deaf?"
"..."
"..."
———————————————————
As Souji left the academy, he saw many parents picking up their children.
He stood still, hoping that his family would come and pick him up.
"..."
But after waiting so long that there was no one left in front of the academy gate, he realized that his hope was not going to be realized.
He sighed and looked around, in case he had missed something.
His eyes accidentally caught sight of a figure in the distance. Someone sitting alone on a swing. What caught his attention was the color of his hair, yellow.
"Naruto, huh?"
Souji was no longer curious about the time period in which he was living, but he was curious about the Uchiha Clan. Had Sasuke already become a vengeful person?
Putting that aside for now, he held back from greeting Naruto.
'There's still a chance some other time.'
Souji then left the academy, not knowing where to go.
———————————————————
"... "
When Souji arrived at the village park, it was dark, and a light drizzle had turned into a heavy downpour.
Fortunately, he immediately took shelter in a small, dome-shaped building.
He had no money or house keys, only a notebook with his name written on it.
But at least he still had a system, even if it was still in progress.
"..."
"Ugh..." He massaged his temples.
And now? He could only stare and watch the heavy rain falling on this silent night.
"..."
"..."
He regretted not asking his teacher directly. He blamed Danzo for what he was experiencing right now.
"..."
"Achoo!" Danzo rubbed his nose.
"This must be Hiruzen's doing." Danzo said with great certainty.
"..."
[Ding.]
"..."
[System complete.]
"..."
And now?
He no longer regretted it.
'I love you! System!' he thought happily.
[Ding.]
[User's wish detected.]
[I love you, System. Active.]
Souji blinked.
"Ah?"
"..."
"..."

"... "
Souji more or less understood the system he had.
He felt like playing The Sims or Inzo. Of course, they weren't similar. He just got the same vibes from them.
"The Sims doesn't seem suitable. Hmm... maybe a galge?"
The problem now is that he doesn't know if his [harem] target has to be a character from the Naruto series.
Just the anime?
Or just the manga?
Or both?
"... "
What about canon and filler?
"..."
Wait... What about the Uchiha clan?
'It'd be a shame if they'd been wiped out. Maybe I could get the Sharingan from Uchiha Hikari. But what if she isn't in this world?'
Souji sighed again.
'Yes... What else can I do? Getting the Sharingan isn't my main priority. It's just one of my childhood dreams.'
He had photos of himself edited using the Sharingan, and now he had the opportunity to make it happen. Why not?
However, he didn't want to force it. If he couldn't get the Sharingan, then it didn't matter.
"Uchiha... If I still have a chance, who should I target?"
Souji's thoughts about targeting a Uchiha reminded us of a snake that was very covetous of the Uchiha clan.
Souji tried to remember the female characters from the Uchiha clan.
'Izanami? She's old, or maybe she's dead. Izumi? As far as I can recall, she likes Itachi. She's a difficult target, perhaps? But it can be tried.'
"... "
Souji was amazed at how easily he could think of taking Izumi from Itachi.
'But they haven't reached the dating stage, right? I doubt Itachi likes Izumi either.' Souji thought. 'And what about Izumi's mother? I don't know what she looks like. Maybe she's as beautiful as Izumi?'
Remembering Izumi's mother, Souji turned to Uchiha Mikoto. She was a wife and mother of two children.
Souji grinned.
"Hehe, boi~"
How could Souji forget mommy Mikoto?
He just didn't have the courage, especially because of his guilt toward Sasuke and Fugaku, even though he didn't know them personally.
Moreover, his system's name had already confirmed that his goal was to achieve 100% love.
How could he? — try to tarnish other people's married life?
Souji nodded his head.
"Yes, I'm not that bad."
"... "
[Ding.]
"Hm?"
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
'Oi, oi, oi... What's going on?!' Souji panicked when he received a notification from his system.
He tried to open his status screen, but it wouldn't work. All he saw was a screen full of the word "Warning."
[Ding.]
[Double system found.]
[Systems trying to merge.]
[System merging in progress.]
Souji could only wait for his system to recover and run normally. He hoped that his system wouldn't be damaged.
"..."
"..."
[System complete.]
After waiting a few minutes, Souji was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
[I love you, System. Active.]
"All right, time to do a check."

"..."
Souji examined what had changed in his system, then tried to look again because he wasn't sure what he had seen.
After looking a third time, he was certain that his system reflected his desires.
He was indeed that bad.
'I love you, System + Snu-snu?'
'I don't mind at all.'
