Rinya snapped his eyes open, his whole body wracked with intense pain.
He was lying in a cold puddle, his ears filled with the roar of exploding tags.
Ahead of him, several figures were colliding rapidly, the lights of Fire Release and Earth Release flashing one after another.
Dead bodies.
There were dead bodies everywhere.
Rinya looked down and clearly saw the clothes he was wearing; on the back was a red and white fan symbol.
The Uchiha Clan!
Then he looked at the stone-patterned forehead protectors on the enemies in the distance.
Iwagakure!
Rinya instantly understood his situation.
He had transmigrated, falling directly into the most brutal meat grinder of a battlefield in the Ninja World!
The good news was that it was convenient to lie in a pile of corpses and play dead right now.
The bad news was that there was no safe place on the battlefield at all!
A faint splashing sound in the mud suddenly came from behind him.
“Swish—”
The hair on Rinya’s body stood on end instantly.
He turned his eyes slightly, glancing towards the rear with his peripheral vision.
He saw an Iwagakure Genin with short hair, holding a Kunai, silently approaching.
He had been discovered!
A hint of ruthlessness shone in the Iwagakure Ninja’s eyes; it was clear he intended to come over and finish him off.
In the Ninja World, the heads of the Uchiha Clan were valuable trophies.
The Kunai rapidly enlarged in Rinya’s pupils, aiming straight for his throat!
He couldn’t dodge it!
The shadow of death loomed over him.
Was he going to die here just after transmigrating?
Just as the sharp blade was about to cut his skin, a surge of scalding hot energy burst from the depths of Rinya’s eyes.
The world within his field of vision suddenly paused.
The trajectory of leaves blown by the wind, the ferocious expression on the Iwagakure Ninja’s face, the cold glint reflected off the Kunai…
everything seemed to have pressed the slow-motion button.
There was no time to think.
Rinya gritted his teeth, grabbed a bloodstained Kunai from beside him with his right hand, and swung it upward with force against the enemy’s wrist!
“Slish!”
The sharp blade sliced through skin and flesh.
The Iwagakure Ninja’s right hand was immediately crippled.
Strike while he’s down!
Enduring the tearing sensation in his body, Rinya pounced forward like a hungry wolf.
He stabbed the broken blade in his hand fiercely into the Iwagakure Ninja’s left chest, right into his heart!
Blood gushed out, splashing onto Rinya’s face.
The Iwagakure Ninja didn’t even have time to scream before he fell heavily to the ground, completely dead.
Killing for the first time in two lifetimes, Rinya didn’t feel afraid; his heart was filled only with the ecstasy of survival.
He quickly rolled on the ground, and the moment his body pressed against the ground, a cold notification sound rang in his mind.
[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the first kill. Plunder and Mutation System successfully activated.]
[Novice gift pack issued: Obtained one omnidirectional body mutation enhancement and one single-skill mutation enhancement.]
[Killed one Genin, obtained 1 Plunder Point.]
System?
Plunder and Mutation System!
Rinya’s breathing couldn’t help but quicken.
The cheat had finally arrived!
Information flooded into his mind; the system’s functions were extremely brutal and direct.
As long as he killed enemies, he could plunder; as long as he had Plunder Points, he could mutate and upgrade everything!
In this Ninja World where human lives were as cheap as grass, this was simply a god-killing cheat tailored for him!
However, the immediate crisis hadn’t been resolved; to survive, he had to increase his combat power immediately.
Rinya stared fixedly at the battlefield ahead where the fighting was still ongoing, screaming frantically in his heart.
“System, use the omnidirectional body mutation enhancement immediately!”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of scalding hot energy instantly exploded within his body!
His limbs and bones greedily absorbed the new strength.
A slight tingling sensation came from his eyes, and his vision suddenly became incredibly clear.
A stream of strange memories quickly merged.
Rinya, twelve years old, Konoha Genin.
His talent was average; having just graduated from the Ninja Academy, he was used as cannon fodder and thrown into the front-line meat grinder.
Among his classmates was the young master of the Senju Clan, Senju Nawaki.
Sorting through the memories, Rinya understood the truth about his counter-kill just now.
In the face of death, his desire to survive forced him to awaken the Sharingan.
“Konoha Year 32…”
Rinya lay in the pile of corpses, cursing internally.
The Second Shinobi World War!
A meat grinder where even Kage-level powerhouses could die suddenly if they were not careful!
As a lowly Genin, he couldn’t even make a splash.
He had to stay low!
He absolutely couldn’t go out and be reckless!
With the system, whether it was Byakugan, Wood Release, or Tailed Beast, as long as he got his hands on them, he could mutate and upgrade them all.
After surviving the most dangerous phase and secretly developing to the Six Paths level, he would then go and challenge old foxes like Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu.
The enhancement was complete.
Rinya clenched his fists, feeling the abundant Chakra within his body.
He concentrated his mind to check his eyes.
The single-tomoe Sharingan that had just awakened in the face of death had soared directly into a double-tomoe Sharingan after the system’s mutation enhancement!
In his crimson eyes, two black tomoe were imprinted, slowly rotating.
His dynamic vision had doubled, and his insight and copying abilities had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Now, his comprehensive combat power had definitely reached the Chunin level!
The confidence brought by the surge in strength caused Rinya’s gaze to fall on the dead Iwagakure Ninja beside him.
The mutation enhancement was so powerful, what kind of good loot could the system’s “Plunder” function produce?
Rinya cautiously reached out his hand and pressed it onto the corpse’s cold armor.
“System, Plunder!”
A mechanical voice immediately popped into his mind.
[Ding! Plunder successful!]
[Obtained 0.3 units of Chakra. (Note: 1 unit is the standard total Chakra amount for a Genin)]
[Obtained Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Earth Replacement!]
A tingling sensation came from both his hands.
The hand signs for Earth Release: Earth Replacement instantly formed into muscle memory, as if he had practiced them thousands of times.
This was the thrill of using a cheat!
Rinya couldn’t help but breathe quickly.
Awesome!
He quickly took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.
There were still many people around; he absolutely could not expose himself now.
In just a few seconds, no one had noticed anything unusual about a “corpse”.
Having tasted success, Rinya felt an itch in his heart.
His eyes darted around, thinking about finding another Iwagakure Ninja to target and get more rewards.
Just then, a mechanical voice popped up in his mind again.
[Ding! Issuing unique main quest: Within ten years, father an offspring with the Rinnegan.]
[Quest reward: Full system upgrade and lifetime binding.]
[Failure penalty: System forcefully unbinds and reclaims all issued rewards.]
What the hell?
Rinya’s eyes went dark.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Have a child?
Fine, that’s not hard to do.
But damn it, it has to have the Rinnegan?
What kind of concept is the Rinnegan?
Even the Six Paths Sage didn’t have this treatment!
Is the system crazy?
Rinya complained frantically in his heart.
But upon closer thought, he really couldn’t shirk this quest.
If the quest failed, not only would the system run away, but it would also reclaim his strengthened power; then, how on earth was he supposed to survive on this meat grinder of a Third Shinobi World War battlefield?
Calm down!
He must be calm!
Rinya thought about it again; the Rinnegan also had different grades.
From the light purple Rinnegan transplanted from Nagato, to Madara’s pure purple one, to Sasuke’s six-tomoe version, and even the various flashy colors of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, their powers all differed.
Getting a top-tier Rinnegan wasn’t realistic, but maybe he could manage a low-tier entry-level version.
Theoretically, fusing Senju and Uchiha bloodlines, combined with the assistance of the system cheat, it wouldn’t be difficult to produce a pair of basic Rinnegan.
At the very worst, artificial cultivation should work, right?
Regardless, he had to choose a target first.
To get Senju bloodline, looking across the entire Ninja World, who was the most suitable?
The answer was obvious.
Senju Tsunade!
One of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama; not only was her strength formidable, but her looks and figure were also impeccable.
Rinya swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
It was definitely not because he coveted her body, it was purely to better complete the quest!
However, wanting to win over Tsunade was not generally easy.
Not to mention the difference in status, there was also a ten-year age gap.
Although Rinya had lived two lifetimes and his mental age had long surpassed Tsunade’s, she might not necessarily buy that.
A younger man with an older woman like that wasn’t something everyone could handle.
Forget it, thinking so much was useless; the urgent priority was to save his life and increase his strength.
Only with strength would he have the qualification to talk about other things.
Having figured this out, Rinya didn’t intend to play dead anymore.
He activated his Sharingan and stared fixedly at the battlefield ahead where the fighting was still ongoing.
