Chapter 1 Prequel Mission 1: New Ninja Village, New Job

"How's the wound on Zhenyan's head?"

"I've had a medical ninja check it out, and it's nothing serious."

Uchiha Shingen looked at the strange man and woman talking, as well as the quaint room in front of him. He had no idea how he got here, and his head was aching slightly. He felt dizzy and didn't know where he was. Was this feeling a dream?

Thinking of this, Zhenyan glanced to his side again. There was a baby lying next to him. Perhaps noticing his movements, the baby looked over at him with its big, round eyes and waved its soft little fists unconsciously in front of its body.

Uchiha Shingen thought this dream was very interesting, and he reached out and gently poked the baby's fair cheek. The baby seemed to have never experienced such a thing before, and was completely stunned, even the waving little hands froze in front of the body.

Zhenyan was amused by the baby's reaction. He couldn't help but reach out and wanted to poke it a few more times. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill. He turned his head and found a black-haired boy not far away staring at him.

Zhenyan didn't understand the situation, so he asked, "Is it yours?"

The black-haired boy blinked, and his originally black pupils instantly turned red...

"Hey, if it's really yours, there's no need to get so anxious, right?"

The black-haired boy answered him and took the baby away from him...

"Zhenyan has awakened." The woman who spoke earlier looked over with a gentle smile on her face.

Zhenyan looked around and couldn't help but ask: "Zhenyan? Are you talking to me?"

The woman's expression turned into worry. She looked at the middle-aged man next to her and said, "Didn't you say that the injury of the truth is not serious?"

The middle-aged man frowned and asked Zhenyan: "Uchiha Zhenyan is your name, don't you remember what happened before?"

"Uchiha Mantra?"

This dream is really weird. Just as Zhenyan was thinking this, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding, the inspiration system has been loaded successfully! ]

“???” Zhenyan blinked his dark eyes. The system came out. Could it be that he was not dreaming, but traveling through time?

[You can understand it this way, but this is a spiritual world that is different from reality.] The spiritual system answered his doubts.

Zhenyan was silent for a moment, the soreness in his brain becoming more and more obvious, and some fragmentary fragments kept flashing... He suddenly remembered some things from the past. Before, his Honghua Village was rated as a model village for building a beautiful countryside, and he was also commended. After that, he took advantage of the holiday to travel, but an accident happened on the way...

Well, his work was done anyway. It was just a pity that he hadn't met the beautiful young lady that the masters and ladies of Honghua Village said they would introduce to him...

[As long as the host completes the designated task, he can stay here and continue living.] The spiritual system spoke again.

【What mission?】 Zhenyan asked.

[This is a world of inspiration. Real-life comic book authors will capture fragments from this world and create their own works. The host's mission is to ensure that the main plot that complies with the author's logic and imagination develops smoothly and guide the world to a normal ending.]

Zhenyan nodded in understanding, thinking that this job was acceptable. After thinking for a while, he asked again: [What about the mission, that is, outside the main storyline? ]

[Host can use his abilities freely.] The system replied.

True words: [I understand~]

"Zhenyan?" The black-haired woman in the room spoke again. Perhaps because she saw that Zhenyan had no response for a long time, the worry on her face became even more intense.

"Yeah." Zhenyan responded first, and then asked the system, "System, what's wrong with my current identity?"

Although he remembered what happened before he crossed over, his mind was still vague about his current identity.

[The host's original identity was an Uchiha orphan with no plot and a vague face. However, in order to facilitate the task, the system arranged a temporary setting. Now the host is an Uchiha clan member who was taken home by the Uchiha clan leader to be cared for because of injury. ]

[Since the system can arrange it, why not just arrange the main plot directly? ] Zhenyan was puzzled.

[The system cannot detect the status of this world at any time, and the official main storyline has not yet begun. Now is a review of the previous situation before the main storyline. In the future, it will be inserted into the main storyline as a flashback, so the previous situation mission is also very important. The host must take it seriously! ]

After roughly understanding the situation, Zhenyan answered the Uchiha clan leader in the room: "I really don't remember what happened before."

The Uchiha clan leader had a solemn expression and looked very dignified: "In that case, you should take good care of your injuries first." After saying that, he glanced at his eldest son who was holding his youngest son in the room, and then turned his gaze back to Zhenyan, "When your injuries are healed, you should report to the police department. I will have someone arrange an easy job for you."

"Thank you, uncle chief." Zhenyan agreed readily, and then suggested going out for a walk. He wanted to investigate the situation in this world first.

"Isn't it too early to let Shingo join the police department now?" asked Uchiha Mikoto, the wife of the Uchiha clan leader, after Shingo left.

"Itachi has graduated from the ninja school, and Shingo is the same age as Itachi, so it's time for him to find something to do." The Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, spoke up.

In fact, there is another reason, that is, Shingo's mother was in poor health and died very early, and Shingo's father died in the war for the family. The family should take better care of Shingo. Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku said: "I will arrange this matter. He doesn't need to do anything, just a vacant position."

On the other side, Zhenyan stood up and walked and found that he was now too short.

[System, what is my current age?] Zhenyan asked.

【Seven years old.】

[Isn't this a bit unreasonable?] The system understands his true situation, and it is understandable to let him do the task, but in the eyes of people in this world, he should be just a child, [The tribe leader asked me to work in the police department, is he hiring child labor?]

Spiritual System: [In this world, this is a normal phenomenon. The eldest son of the patriarch's family has been on the battlefield at the age of four.]

Zhenyan stopped where he was, looking at the quaint village street in front of him...

The police department should be a department similar to the public security brigade, and should also be responsible for the public security of the village. When he worked in Honghua Village before, he had worked in the public security brigade. Unexpectedly, in a different world, his job content did not change. This should be the reason why the system chose him...

[I will definitely work hard!] Zhenyan suddenly promised solemnly.

The system is very pleased.

Zhenyan continued to move forward. Facing the new home in front of him, he decided to take out the enthusiasm he had when he built Honghua Village and do a big job. As for where to start, Zhenyan thought he should go deep into the grassroots and start from the needs of the villagers, so the first step was to do a small survey.

Zhenyan walked and observed, and when he saw an old man holding a cigarette and walking leisurely, he walked over.

Zhenyan raised her head, her face full of the same cordiality and sincerity as when she was chatting with Grandpa and Grandma: "Grandpa, are you happy?"

The Third Hokage, who had just retired and was preparing to retire: "???"!
