Chapter 1: Legendary Super Saiyan!
Konoha, Year 51, in a secluded cave in the Land of Fire.
Outside the cave, a group of masked Anbu ninjas stood guard, hyper-vigilant, scanning for the slightest movement in the surroundings.
Inside, however, a woman's loud, pained screams echoed, creating a stark contrast to the tense silence outside.
Kushina Uzumaki wailed in agony, cursing Minato Namikaze between her cries. The Fourth Hokage, standing just outside, fidgeted nervously, his face a mix of anxiety and embarrassment.
Finally, a baby's cry rang out, and Kushina's screams subsided, her face pale from exhaustion.
Biwako Sarutobi, the midwife, cleaned the newborn boy. Her expression turned peculiar during the process—she noticed a monkey-like tail on the infant's backside.
How bizarre! How could a human baby have a monkey tail?
Shaking off the thought, Biwako quickly cleaned the baby and placed him beside Kushina.
Kushina gazed at the blonde infant, who stared back at her with wide, curious eyes, quiet and calm. A wave of warmth flooded her heart.
Biwako asked, "Kushina, this is yours and Minato's child. Have you named him?"
Kushina, still weak, smiled faintly. "Minato named him Naruto, after the protagonist in Jiraiya-sensei's novel."
As Kushina beamed at her son, Naruto himself was piecing together his situation.
It was clear now—he had transmigrated. From the conversation between the red-haired woman and the midwife, he realized he was in the perilous world of Naruto. Not only that, he was none other than the destined protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki.
The corner of his mouth twitched. He immediately began searching for his "golden finger"—his cheat ability. Every transmigrator gets one, right? Where was his?
Then he noticed it: a tail, strikingly obvious, swaying at his will.
The sensation was surreal—imagine suddenly having an extra limb beyond your arms and legs!
Staring at the monkey tail, Naruto's eyes nearly popped out.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was a monkey tail.
Who has monkey tails? Holy crap! He had Saiyan blood!
Kushina, too, noticed the tail. She watched it wiggle with curiosity, then burst out laughing. She didn't know why Naruto had a tail, but it was oddly amusing.
As she playfully tugged at it, two screams erupted in the delivery room, startling her. Her eyes widened in shock.
Biwako and another medical ninja collapsed to the floor, lifeless. A mysterious figure wearing a tiger-striped mask appeared in the room.
Kushina gasped, "Who are you?"
The masked man didn't bother with words. He approached, intent on abducting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
At that moment, the door was kicked open. A kunai engraved with intricate runes flew toward the man's hand.
Caught off guard, the masked man couldn't grab Kushina. Instead, he snatched Naruto's swaddle and held him up.
Minato Namikaze appeared instantly beside his Flying Thunder God kunai, assessing the situation with sharp eyes. He glanced at the lifeless bodies of Biwako and the medical ninja, then at his panicked wife, Kushina.
His gaze locked onto the masked man, voice icy. "Who are you?"
The masked man didn't respond, but Naruto, held in his grasp, trembled in fear.
Minato didn't know the man's identity, but Naruto, with his knowledge of the original story, did. This was Minato's wayward student, Obito Uchiha.
A lunatic who, after losing the girl he loved, decided to destroy the world.
Since his fall to darkness, Obito had become terrifying, abandoning all traces of humanity and conscience. In the hands of such a madman, what chance did Naruto have?
As expected, out of Minato's sight, Obito discreetly attached an explosive tag to Naruto's swaddle, hidden so well it was nearly undetectable.
Naruto wanted to scream a warning, but as a newborn, he could only wail incoherently.
With a sinister glint, Obito tossed Naruto, swaddle and all, toward Minato.
The moment Minato caught him, he sensed something wrong. He hurled the swaddle aside and, grabbing Naruto, teleported away with Flying Thunder God.
When the explosion subsided, Minato returned to the delivery room, but the masked man was gone.
So was Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Hearing the beastly roars from the direction of Konoha, Minato clenched his fists, forcing himself to stay calm. He wasn't just Kushina's husband—he was the Fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Faced with his wife's abduction and the loss of the village's Tailed Beast, he had to think strategically.
He placed the newborn Naruto in a safe location. Seeing the worry on his son's tiny face, Minato gave a reassuring smile, then donned his Hokage cloak and left.
Left alone in a fresh swaddle, Naruto sighed in relief, his mind racing.
Having read the original story, he knew what was coming: the Nine-Tails would rampage, Konoha would suffer massive losses, and his "temporary" parents, Minato and Kushina, would die.
He'd be left behind, manipulated by the scheming Third Hokage to serve Konoha blindly for life.
Staring at the ceiling, Naruto grew angrier. Give me a few years to grow! With his Saiyan strength, he could crush Obito underfoot in no time.
But as a newborn, even with Saiyan blood, he was powerless to stop his parents' deaths.
Frustration and rage surged within him. Suddenly, a terrifying green energy erupted from his body, shaking the room's stone walls.
Startled, Naruto calmed himself and checked his surroundings.
No one was nearby. This place seemed far from Konoha, unaffected by the tremors of the Nine-Tails' rampage.
Strange!
Why was there an earthquake? And what was that green chakra bursting from him?
It couldn't be the Nine-Tails' chakra—the beast hadn't been sealed into him yet.
Then it hit him, and his body trembled with excitement.
He wasn't just any Saiyan—he was a Legendary Super Saiyan!
Outside Konoha, in a forest.
Minato Namikaze faced off against the tiger-masked Obito Uchiha.
One gripped a Flying Thunder God kunai; the other held a specially crafted chain.
As a leaf fell, both charged.
They'd clashed briefly before, gauging each other's abilities. Realizing they were both space-time ninjutsu users, they grew even more cautious.
In a battle of space-time techniques, victory hinged on a single moment. It wasn't about raw power but clarity of thought.
Whoever landed a hit with their space-time jutsu first would win. Neither dared to be careless.
Minato hurled a Flying Thunder God kunai, aiming for Obito's face.
Obito didn't flinch. The kunai passed through his head as if he were a phantom, leaving no blood or mark.
With Minato now close, holding a Rasengan, Obito smirked beneath his mask.
He had won. His hand was inches from Minato, while the Rasengan was still too far to hit.
No matter Minato's skill, he couldn't escape Obito's Kamui Sharingan. Once trapped in Kamui's dimension, Minato would be at his mercy.
Victory seemed certain. But as Obito's hand neared Minato, something changed.
Minato vanished. A searing pain exploded in Obito's back, and a massive force slammed him to the ground.
Only then did Obito realize Minato's plan: the kunai wasn't meant to hit him but to set up a teleportation behind him, striking from a Sharingan blind spot.
Minato had outsmarted him, exploiting the Sharingan's weakness.
Badly injured, Obito knew he couldn't keep fighting. He turned to flee, but Minato teleported in front of him.
When Minato's Rasengan had struck, he'd left a Flying Thunder God mark on Obito.
Slapping his hands on Obito, Minato activated a contract seal, breaking Obito's control over the Nine-Tails.
With no choice, Obito feinted an attack and escaped into his Kamui dimension.
Watching the masked man flee, Minato turned gravely toward the direction of the Nine-Tails' rampage.
The masked man was dangerous, but the Nine-Tails was the greater threat.
Meanwhile, Naruto had figured out his golden finger.
He was right—his Saiyan blood wasn't ordinary. He was a Legendary Super Saiyan.
