Chapter 1C1
"The person on the mission likes desserts like tricolor dumplings." Even though the correct strategy was given a long time ago, the person on the mission has been sending fried chicken and roasted crab cans for three months in a row, just not following the plan.
Kana, munching on the fried chicken she hadn't given away, showed no sign of the disappointment one would expect after being rejected for three months. She waved her hand, indicating it wasn't a big problem.
However, the system felt there was a big problem. It felt it was necessary to remind this mission taker, who had been idle for five years and whose current temporary interest was flirting with handsome young Uchiha men, that if he were branded with the Caged Bird Seal, the probability of mission failure would increase by 60%—this was data obtained from past experience.
Hinata Hyuga is due to be born in less than a month.
"Can I drug you?" Kanai gestured as if slitting his throat.
According to the Hyuga clan's rules, when the main family members turn three, they must carve a caged bird image on the branch family members of the same generation. If this pregnancy "accidentally" ends, the Hyuga clan head's wife will have another year or two to prepare after she becomes pregnant and gives birth to another child.
"Taskers cannot influence the spawning of important characters."
"The mission taker cannot interfere with the spawning of important characters." (Speaking louder.)
"The mission taker cannot interfere with the birth of important characters." (Very loudly)
But that didn't stop Kana from putting the purslane she'd dug up into her bag. "You're so noisy."
The system had been with her for five years, and its temper had become increasingly irritable from being worn down. "Purslane can cause miscarriages in pregnant women."
Kana rolled her eyes. "Purslane can also help people who eat fried chicken to clear heat and reduce internal fire."
She hung the small hoe on her waist and walked into the tall buildings in the afterglow of the setting sun. The warmth of the setting sun was swallowed up by the shadows cast by the solemn and orderly main house. Most of the people in the Hyuga clan were indifferent, repressed, and in a daze.
Some people, when suppressed to a certain degree, will vent their dissatisfaction with life downwards to cover up their inferiority and weakness. But the Hyuga branch family may have died long ago when they were marked with the cursed seal, so they wouldn't even have such an independent act of bullying the weak.
The only advantage of the identity the system chose for her was that her parents had some merits but died young, so no one would care or make things difficult for an orphan girl with average talent.
In other words, as long as she doesn't do anything too outrageous or threaten the main family, no one will care about her.
This is the key reason why she could play her distorted flute on her way home, especially circling around the Zong family's territory twice, without being dragged into a dark alley and beaten up.
After all, her mother loved the sound of the flute. As long as she doesn't speak, everyone will automatically come up with a reasonable explanation, whether it's that she misses her mother too much or that she's mentally ill.
The system said that she was hurting herself 800 times more than the enemy.
Kana said this is called building one's happiness on the suffering of others—click to get double the happiness.
Kana was bound to this system five years ago.
The full name of the system is—
Flying is more suitable when facing headwinds.
But it almost became "The night gave me a pair of red eyes".
At that time, Kana was just a lonely soul waiting patiently in line on the Bridge of Helplessness to be reincarnated.
Before they could even get a bowl of hot Meng Po soup to warm themselves up, they were taken away.
Side Quest 1: [Flying Against the Wind is More Suitable], Mission Objective: Protect Hyuga Neji and help him survive the Fourth Shinobi World War, change the Hyuga clan's "Caged Bird" system, and max out Hyuga Neji's affection level.
Side Quest 2: [The Night Gave Me a Pair of Red Eyes], Mission Objective: Protect Itachi Uchiha and help him survive the Fourth Shinobi World War, change the world's perception of the Uchiha clan, and maximize Itachi's favorability.

"A mission taker?"
"Task participant number 100?"
Just as the system was about to doubt its intelligence and wonder if this number 100 was deaf and mute, the other party slowly spoke up, "Ah... this kind of starting option is as amazing as asking someone to choose between 'UK colony India' or 'US-occupied Afghanistan' and become a superhuman."
The system's inorganic voice continued, "So, mission taker, what is your choice?"
"Oh. I choose to die."
"...Please take this mission seriously."
"I'm very serious. If I were to live this kind of life again, I'd rather be dead. At least I was quite comfortable in my previous life."
"The chance to be reborn is extremely rare," the system patiently explained.
"I suggest you find someone who thinks it's a difficult task to complete."
System: ...Of course it's because the previous 99 failed, otherwise why would it come to you?
"If no choice is made by the task participant in five minutes, the system will randomly select one."
What happens if I fail to complete the task?
"The mission taker will die."
"OK".
System: ...This deadbeat doesn't care at all!!! She's only thinking about reincarnation!!!
"There will be a reward after completing the mission." This kind of big move shouldn't be mentioned at the very beginning, since the mission process is full of difficulties and is meant to motivate the mission takers to persevere.
Moreover, most people already see the possibility of being reborn with a system as a reward.
"What kind of reward?" Kana finally showed some interest. "The consolation prize and the grand prize are different."
"After completing the mission, you can choose any other world to live in and retain the abilities you gained in that world."
"Oh. Third prize. No fun."
"The mission will be broken down into smaller tasks, and you will receive corresponding rewards once you complete them."
Actually, it's not that interesting. Unscrupulous capitalists make far more concrete promises than this, and the fact that it's so short on the list of life and death is probably because they've had too many empty promises.
But Kana ultimately accepted the mission.
—Because the line for the Meng Po soup was just too long.
