Chapter 1: The God-Level Check-In System

Sunlight filtered down, casting dappled shadows on the street.

But this was no ordinary afternoon.

Uchiha Clan Grounds, Cemetery.

As the Third Great Ninja War neared its end, the village finally had a chance to catch its breath.

During this time, the various clans of Konoha held funerals for their fallen comrades, mourning the loss of their friends.

The Uchiha clan members, who had just completed a collective funeral, were consoling each other.

In the crowd.

A young boy stood alone, his figure slender and his eyes vacant, like a wooden stake.

After a moment.

“Hiss...”

The boy drew in a sharp breath, clutching his head with a pained expression.

It hurt!

His head hurt!!

“Don’t be too sad, Nagafu.”

“Death is the destiny of every ninja.”

“Although your parents and family members were sacrificed in this war, you still have so many clan members. Everyone will stand by you.”

A large hand patted the boy’s shoulder, and the speaker offered some comforting words.

Clearly, he had misunderstood something.

The boy released his hand from his cheek and looked up at the other person.

A familiar face.

Although much younger than in the original storyline.

But the person before him was none other than the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha.

His "uncle"!

The boy remained silent, only nodding.

It seemed.

He had really traveled through time!

The night owl that he was, he had woken up to find himself in the world of Naruto, and had become Itachi Uchiha’s older cousin!

Nagafu Uchiha’s heart was filled with complex emotions.

He wasn’t sure whether to feel fortunate or unfortunate.

In the Naruto world, bloodline was paramount.

The Uchiha clan, as one of the direct descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, being a member of their clan, and even being related to the clan head, was certainly better than being an ordinary person.

However...

Nagafu gently massaged his temples.

His mind was still flooded with a large amount of memories, the sensation like needles pricking his brain, causing him great discomfort.

After a while, the memories finally merged.

“I knew it... It’s not going to be a good era!”

After reading the memories in his mind, Nagafu’s eyes twitched.

It was around the 50th year of Konoha.

The Third Great Ninja War had largely ended, and ordinary people no longer had to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

But even so.

In his previous life, as a Naruto fan, Nagafu was familiar with all the plot points.

He knew that such peaceful days would not last long.

Not to mention the undercurrents of turmoil beneath the surface of the ninja world, with small conflicts and skirmishes still occurring between countries.

According to the plot, the Uchiha clan of Konoha would soon face the threat of annihilation!

Not to mention someone like him, with average talent.

Even the Uchiha upper-ninjas who had activated the Sharingan, and even the clan head Fugaku Uchiha, would ultimately be massacred by the rebellious Itachi Uchiha, his cousin in this life.

What to do?

Since he knew the plot, could he only watch helplessly as the night of the clan’s destruction approached?

Right!

The golden finger!

Wasn’t this supposed to be a standard feature for time travelers?

Nagafu’s mind raced, quickly thinking.

He tried to activate his golden finger but found nothing!

No golden finger?

Then why did you let me travel through time at all!

Nagafu almost wanted to curse the heavens.

But he held back.

He took several deep breaths.

The most urgent thing now was to stay calm and carefully consider his survival strategy.

Getting angry and depressed would only waste his time.

The first thought that came to mind was—escape!

Take advantage of the fact that the clan’s destruction had not yet occurred and quickly leave Konoha, the farther the better!

Forget about the night of the clan’s destruction, and stay out of the plot.

With his familiarity with Naruto, living a low-profile life in this world should not be too difficult.

He might even be able to enjoy the pleasures of life with his handsome appearance...

But how could he slip away from the village without being noticed?

Where would he go after leaving?

And most importantly, how would he sustain himself?

Nagafu quietly cast his gaze beyond the trees.

The Uchiha clan’s living area had been repeatedly relocated to the edge of the village.

As long as he avoided the main roads guarded by duty ninjas, leaving Konoha would not be difficult.

The rest was still unclear.

And there was a more important issue that needed careful consideration!

In the Naruto world, human life was as fragile as grass.

It was not wise for an ordinary person to wander around.

Encountering a bloodthirsty rogue ninja or bandits could be very dangerous...

As he was thinking, a gentle voice sounded in his mind.

“Detected a suitable host, God-Level Check-In System is binding, 1%... 15%...”

“Binding successful!”

Nagafu: “???”

“System?”

He silently greeted it, unable to suppress a smile.

He thought there was no system!

But now it had finally arrived.

He decided not to curse it yet and to understand the system’s functions first.

“Introduce yourself, System.”

Nagafu cleared his throat and issued the command in his mind.

“Responding to the host, this system is the God-Level Check-In System...”

After about five minutes.

Nagafu finally fully understood the system’s functions.

In short.

After binding with the system, he could check in once a day.

No matter where he was, checking in had a chance to yield rewards.

Checking in for 3, 7, 15, 21, and 30 consecutive days would refresh the opportunity to check in at a designated location.

Checking in at a designated location would guarantee a reward, and the quality of the reward would be better than at a regular location!

As for the specific rewards.

The system’s response was: anything is possible.

If it could give him a Rinnegan with nine tomoe, wouldn’t that be amazing?

His comeback to the peak of life would all depend on this system!

As Nagafu was lost in thought and secretly smiling, the system suddenly asked.

“Host, you have not used your check-in for today. Would you like to check in now?”

“Should I check in here?”

Nagafu snapped back to reality.

He took a light breath, adjusting his still somewhat excited emotions.

He scanned the entire Uchiha cemetery.

Here were buried many strong Uchiha clan members from ancient times to the present.

Among them were famous ninjas like Mangekyo Sharingan user, Kagami Uchiha.

If he chose to check in here, he might really get a good reward.

Like a Sharingan, or even a Mangekyo Sharingan.

But since it wasn’t a designated location,

he might get nothing and waste a check-in opportunity...

Would it be better to go somewhere else?

It was a tough decision.

After about ten seconds, Nagafu decided not to overthink it.

“System, let’s check in here.”

He issued the command.
