Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Unreliable System

Good news: I transmigrated and have a system.

Bad news: The system belongs to the neighbor, and the activation conditions are also with the neighbor.

What should I do?

I'm in the Naruto World, where am I supposed to find the Central 46 Spirit Arts Academy from the Bleach World to activate the system?

What kind of idiotic system is this?

It's too unreliable!

And the system's idiocy doesn't stop there. Even if it can't be activated, ever since the first notification sound, it dings precisely at midnight every day... and if you ask, it just says the system isn't faulty.

Pure noise, it's annoying to listen to.

Just like right now—

Ding, this system's 61st reminder: Host, please do not slack off. Please report to the Central 46 Spirit Arts Academy as soon as possible to activate the system and achieve the Venerableof the Spirit King early, fulfilling your responsibility as the Spirit King who governs the Three Realms!

Listening to the notification sound in his mind and seeing the text appear before his eyes, Qing Liu couldn't help but get angry, grinding his teeth: "Ding your sister, I'm in the Naruto World, where am I supposed to find the Central 46 Spirit Arts Academy to activate your idiotic system!?"

"And what the hell is 'achieve the Venerableof the Spirit King' and 'govern the Three Realms as Spirit King'? Anyone who's watched Bleach knows the Spirit King is a total scam! He was chopped into a limbless torso and sealed away!"

"Even pyramid schemes aren't as deceptive as you!"

"Legendary life? More like a limbless torso's life!"

Even after two months, Qing Liu was still bothered by it. He vented his frustration with a silent curse, only then feeling less stifled in his heart.

This idiotic system!

To be honest, transmigrating to the Naruto World with a system from the Bleach World, Qing Liu didn't know if it was good or bad... The good part was that the system couldn't be activated, and the bad part was also that the system couldn't be activated.

How could he not be depressed!

Of course, since he had a system, not trying to activate it wasn't the nature of a transmigrator. Perhaps it was one of those tropes where you travel back and forth between two worlds?

With this thought, Qing Liu made many attempts over the past two months.

Naming his room "Central 46 Spirit Arts Academy" as a way to exploit a bug... trying to sense a possible "space-time shuttle gate"... The result was, naturally, utterly useless!

He's in the Naruto World, where is he supposed to find the Central 46 Spirit Arts Academy from the Bleach World to activate the system?

Isn't this just pure nonsense?

Aside from preventing this body from being severely injured and dying at the beginning, this idiotic system is as good as nonexistent; it takes up too much space even as an ornament.

Plus, it dings precisely on time every day to harass Qing Liu, which is just annoying to listen to!

"Idiotic system!"

He cursed disdainfully, then ignored the annoying thing and pondered to himself: "This idiotic system is useless, I can't rely on it. From now on, I can only depend on myself..."

To be honest, when he realized what world and timeline he was in, Qing Liu was a bit panicked.

He even thought for a while that being an ordinary person wasn't bad; at least he wouldn't have to go to the battlefield. The Third Great Ninja War was a meat grinder where even Kage-level Ninja would perish.

Not to mention ordinary Ninja, who would at most just fill numbers and act as cannon fodder.

Qing Liu didn't think his small body, without cheats or a system, could survive the war.

It would be better to open a shop next to Ichiraku Ramen. If he played it safe, maybe he could survive until Boruto's era, with a wife, children, and a warm home—that wouldn't be bad either.

But Ichiraku Ramen doesn't exist yet, and he doesn't know where it will open in the future. Plus, opening a shop requires money, and where would Qing Liu, a little kid, get that money?

No connections.

Become a plagiarist, write some popular novels from his previous life, and start a wave of cultural invasion in the Naruto World?

Not really, Qing Liu's essays were never praised by his teachers in his previous life.

Without money, one can't move an inch; a single penny can stump a hero. This is true in any world.

Of course, becoming an ordinary person was Qing Liu's idea after realizing he couldn't activate the system.

Now Qing Liu has changed his mind.

After these two months of living together, Qing Liu had come to regard Shinku Yuhi and Yūhi Shinnō as family and didn't want any accidents to befall them.

Shinku Yuhi dying in the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack and Yūhi Shinnō being snatched away by some blonde guy... Absolutely not!

The Naruto World is a world where strength reigns supreme. If he wants to change tragedies, he can't do it without powerful strength himself.

Reluctantly, he could only go to the Ninja Academy and become a Ninja... "So what if I'm a transmigrator without a golden finger or a system? I can still make a name for myself in this world!"

"Idiotic system, get lost!"

Qing Liu refused to believe that he, a transmigrator who knew the plot's development, couldn't make a name for himself in this world?

Knowing the plot is his golden finger.

As for the system?

Pfft!

"Time to sleep!"

The alarm rang on time, meaning it was already midnight, and time to sleep.

Tomorrow was the day to enroll in the Ninja Academy. Since he decided to risk becoming a Ninja, Qing Liu wouldn't be complacent. Who knew if he might be a genius?

After all, with red hair, he might actually have Uzumaki Clan blood.

Anyone who has watched naruto knows that besides the Nine-Tailed, the protagonist has another cheat: the Uzumaki Clan physique.

Throughout the entire naruto series, the Leader of the Ming Sect remained incredibly resilient, churning out Rasengan after Rasengan, rarely ever looking exhausted.

Unlike a certain unnamed, famous Chakra-meter, Kakashi Hatake, who gets exhausted just by using a Sharingan technique; there's simply no comparison... Morning.

At the dining table.

Shinku Yuhi looked at Qing Liu with a hint of surprise, a slight smile appearing on his usually serious face: "Have you made up your mind?"

He had been utterly resistant to the idea of becoming a Ninja not long ago, so why the sudden change of heart?

Indeed, words from peers are more effective than from an adult like him!

Qing Liu nodded, saying earnestly, "I can't keep eating your food and using your things, can I? I'm also a part of the Yūhi Family now, and becoming a Ninja to earn money can help support the household."

Shinku Yuhi smiled: "I'm not so poor that I can't even afford your food, kid. But going to the Ninja Academy and making new friends is also good."

There's a ninety percent chance this kid is a survivor of the Uzumaki Clan; not becoming a Ninja would be a waste of talent. This was also a mission the Third Hokage gave him... to guide this kid into becoming a Ninja.

For this, he had expended a lot of effort... Qing Liu shrugged: "I'll just consider it looking after Kurenai. With me around, no one will bully her, after all, I'm the older brother!"

Kurenai Yuhi, who was eating her breakfast in small bites, puffed out her cheeks, stopped eating, and said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean! I'm clearly the older sister, okay? And just now... just now doesn't count!"

Just now, to fulfill their agreement from last night, she was forced to call Qing Liu "onii-chan"... and her father heard it, which made her furious!

...

Shinku Yuhi glanced at his daughter and showed a fatherly smile.

She just called Qing Liu her older brother, so why is she saying it doesn't count now? Little girls' moods change so quickly!

Not minding it, Shinku Yuhi smiled at Qing Liu: "Then I'll entrust Kurenai to you, her older brother, to look after."

To be honest, aside from occasionally doing things he couldn't understand, Qing Liu was usually very reassuring.

He possessed a maturity beyond his age.

Some experiences make people grow... "I will." Qing Liu nodded, then raised an eyebrow at Kurenai Yuhi.

The meaning was very clear: See? I'm the older brother, this is confirmation from a parent!

"Why am I the younger sister?" Kurenai Yuhi's delicate little face was full of defiance. Why was even her own father saying that?

Was it just because she was forced to say "onii-chan" earlier?

Thinking of this, her small mouth pouted, enough to hang things on, and she mumbled, "I'm clearly the older sister..."

She decided that she would definitely make Qing Liu call her older sister voluntarily. Earlier... earlier didn't count!!

Soon, the three finished breakfast.

Under Shinku Yuhi's lead, they walked towards the Ninja Academy.

Not long after, the three had arrived at the Ninja Academy's location.

Today was enrollment day, and people were coming and going in front of the Ninja Academy, mostly parents bringing their children to report.

Qing Liu's gaze swept over the adults and little kids around him, thinking to himself, 'The timeline in the original work is quite chaotic, I wonder how many familiar faces there will be?'

The naruto timeline is as idiotic as his system.

Both are the kind that make you want to complain whenever they're brought up... 'Forget it, I'll see tomorrow when I officially enroll.'

Muttering to himself, Qing Liu decided not to dwell on it; he would know tomorrow.

He followed Shinku Yuhi and Yūhi Shinnō into the Ninja Academy, heading to the office to complete the enrollment procedures.

However... just as Qing Liu stepped through the Ninja Academy's main gate, a 'ding' suddenly sounded in his mind...
