Naruto World.

Three years have passed since the Nine-Tails Attack on Konoha.

After three years of recuperation, Konoha's prosperity has reached a new level, but the surging undercurrents hidden beneath this prosperity have also risen accordingly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has grown old...

And the trio of Konoha Advisor Elders, led by Danzo Shimura, have become even more unscrupulous in carving up the Hokage's power. In this feast of "looting a burning house," the one bearing the brunt is the son of the hero—Uzumaki Naruto, the orphan of Minato Namikaze.

"I want a cup of instant noodles that hasn't expired..."

Three-year-old Naruto stood on his tiptoes, his hands gripping the counter in front of him, trying to make his small self visible to the owner behind the counter so he wouldn't be ignored and refused the noodles.

"Get lost! I won't sell to you, I wouldn't even give you the expired ones!"

Unlike the expectant Naruto, the shop owner's voice was filled with malice. The harsh tone made Uzumaki Naruto flinch, nearly letting go of the counter and falling onto his backside.

"I have money... this is definitely enough!"

Uzumaki Naruto didn't want to give up. He had been craving those braised beef flavored instant noodles for a long time. Even though the owner's tone was fierce, Naruto still felt he would sell them for the sake of money.

After all, no one turns away money; this was the first lesson Naruto learned since he could remember.

But Naruto didn't know that money isn't everything, especially in the Face of national hatred and personal grudges—money is truly worthless.

"Do I need to say it again?! You freak, you Nine-Tails Demon Fox in human skin!" The shop owner pried Naruto's hands off the counter. "Get lost! I'd rather feed my shop's goods to dogs than sell them to you, understand?!"

Having his hands pried away, Naruto lost his support. His tiptoed stance faltered, his body staggered back uncontrollably, and he finally fell hard on his buttocks.

"Beat the monster!"

"Beat the Nine-Tails Demon Fox!"

"My mom said a monster like you doesn't deserve to live in Konoha!"

"Dahu, Erzhuang, throw stones at him!"

"..."

Naruto's fall didn't earn him any sympathy from the onlookers; instead, he faced the cruelty of many children backed by their parents.

It was unclear who called out for "Dahu" and "Erzhuang" to throw stones. Regardless, once the first stone hit Naruto, a rain of stones followed, pelting him mercilessly.

"I'm not a monster..."

Naruto covered his head with his hands.

"I'm not the Nine-Tails Demon Fox either..."

Naruto fell to the ground in pain.

"I'm just hungry, I just wanted to come out and buy some instant noodles to eat..."

Naruto curled his body up, trying to minimize the area exposed to the hits.

"Should we help him?" An Anbu member monitoring Naruto from the shadows couldn't bear it anymore. "He's only three years old..."

"Our mission is to monitor him and prevent anyone with ulterior motives from approaching," his companion said coldly. "You must understand our duty isn't protection. Even if he dies at the hands of the villagers, we just need to submit a report afterward!"

"Besides..." The unusually cold Anbu member clenched his fist. "My younger brother was less than a year old when he died! And the culprit was the Nine-Tails! So you tell me, should we help?!"

"..."

Seeing his companion's Face twisted by hatred behind the mask, the Anbu member who felt pity for Naruto immediately fell silent. With a slight sigh, he turned his gaze elsewhere, no longer paying attention to Naruto's miserable state.

"I'm just hungry... what did I do wrong... please... please..."

The three-year-old Naruto curled his body, murmuring. The pain in his body gradually faded, and even his consciousness began to blur until he arrived in a space filled with a milky-white hue.

[Uzumaki Naruto, the Multiverse Life Experience Game officially invites you. We are now asking if you agree to become the Host of this Game System.]

"Can you let me eat a cup of delicious instant noodles that hasn't expired?" Naruto asked while biting his finger, completely forgetting the tragic events he had just experienced.

[Delicacies from land and sea, Nectar and ambrosia—as long as you agree to bind with this Game System and achieve high scores in game evaluations, you can have it all.]

"What are Delicacies from land and sea... what is Nectar and ambrosia... I don't understand..." Narutocontinued biting his finger.

Suddenly, Naruto seemed to understand something. "They're all things to eat, right?!"

[Correct! Not just food; you can also obtain supreme power, a resilient Heart-Nature, insight into all worldly affairs, and other things you've longed for but couldn't reach.]

"Then I agree!" Naruto's eyes lit up as he raised his hands high. "Give it to me quickly! I want to eat, I want to grow tall and strong!"

[Binding successful. Now starting the Host's first round of the Life Experience Game. The difficulty level is Entry-Level.]

After that ethereal voice finished speaking, Narutoinstantly felt the world spinning. His consciousness began to fade again, eventually turning into fluttering spots of light that were absorbed into the milky-white space.

...

"Hokage-sama, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has not sustained any fatal injuries. He just lost consciousness after being hit in the head by a stone."

A Medical Ninja checked on Naruto, who had been placed on the bed at some point. After confirming Naruto's physical condition, he turned to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, although this Medical Ninja's tone was exceptionally respectful, his expression was somewhat subtle, as if Naruto's current state hadn't met his expectations.

"I see. Notify the Anbu later; Naruto's treatment is to be raised by another level. Furthermore, his daily necessities will be distributed by the Anbumembers monitoring him."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

After the Medical Ninja responded, he disappeared with a Body Flicker Technique, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi staring blankly at Naruto's Face.

"Minato, I don't know if my choice is right..." Hiruzen Sarutobi bent over to tuck Naruto in. "It was never my intention for Naruto, who should have received the treatment of a hero, to Face such a situation. I hope you don't blame me..."

"Everything I do is for the Village. If you were here, you would understand, wouldn't you? After all, Danzo and the others have been eyeing Naruto for a long time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shirked his responsibilities; in his old age, he no longer had the decisiveness he once possessed. Whether his choice was right was something only he knew, but to sacrifice a child's childhood for the so-called "Konoha" was indeed going too far...

However, Naruto wasn't aware of any of this. He had already re-occupied a person's body—a child's body that was similar to his in age but completely different in every other way.

Naruto's new life officially sets sail now!
