Sign in From Naruto

Nowadays, the Chitose clan has long since lost its former glory. Especially after Princess Tsunade left the village, the strength of the Chitose has weakened, as if it could exit the stage of history at any moment.

Even the residence of the Thousand Hands clan has been reduced to a few courtyards, a far cry from its past grandeur.

Within one of these unassuming courtyards, Xu Fan sat cross-legged on a grass mat.

He had already lived in this world for five years—five whole years. No one knew how he had endured these five years.

"The Thousand Hands clan has a total of one stone of resources. Juma alone takes nine buckets, Kaima takes three buckets, Tsunade takes one bucket, and the rest of the Thousand Hands owe a total of three buckets..."

Xu Fan couldn't help but vent his frustration in his heart. Since the death of the Second Hokage, the Thousand Hands clan had declined at an alarming rate. By the time it reached him, not only did he lack the ability to regenerate or use Wood Release, but he also struggled to extract enough chakra to activate his small auxiliary system. It had taken him five years just to achieve that.

Crossing over into a descendant of the Senju clan hadn't paid a single dividend.

And now, after finally activating the Little Aid, the first rookie quest had arrived.

Ding!

"Host, please proceed to the forest border of the Fire Country as soon as possible to sign in. A successful sign-in will result in a newbie bonus!"

Xu Fan frowned slightly. When he first arrived in this world, he had mapped out the approximate timeline. The history of Konoha had even become a part of his life.

Internally, the Uchiha clan was still thriving but making foolish moves against the Konoha regime.

Externally, the Cloud Ninja Village and Konoha had been in constant conflict. Although an alliance had been announced not long ago, it was likely that spies from the Cloud Village were still hiding within Konoha.

But risk and opportunity coexist.

"Take a chance, and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!" Xu Fan thought.

His eyes narrowed slightly. Before crossing over, he had been a fan of online literature. He had read countless stories on platforms like Qidian, and he knew exactly what to do.

The most important thing was...

His current situation was rather awkward.

When he first arrived, he had been optimistic.

The timeline he had traveled to was before the main Naruto storyline began, after the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's rampage.

It was a period of relative safety and peace in Kiba Village.

Coupled with the bloodline of the Thousand Hands clan, he should have had enough time to lay out his plans, grow stronger, and even enter the top echelons of Kiba with this identity.

But soon, Xu Fan's optimism faded.

Although he was a member of the Thousand Hands clan, the chakra in his body was incredibly scarce.

This meant that even if he enrolled in a ninja academy, he would not be able to graduate and become a ninja.

This was undoubtedly a blow to Xu Fan.

Fortunately, after five years, he had finally extracted enough chakra to activate his Sign-In Little Aid.

It was time.

"Forest border."

Xu Fan stood up from the ground and returned to the house. He changed into clothes that were easier to move in and then hurriedly left the courtyard.

Although the forest border was remote, it was not easy to get lost.

However, during this period, Kiba Village was a dangerous place.

Even the entrances and exits were guarded by Chunin-level ninjas.

"It looks like leaving the village openly is unlikely," Xu Fan murmured to himself. He had been noticed by the guards when he was still tens of meters away from the entrance.

If he were to honestly state his intention to go to the border, it was unlikely that they would believe him. He might even be handed over to the Anbu.

"Find a secluded place, sneak over there, and come back after signing in."

Xu Fan rearranged his thoughts and began to move. He spent several hours making a wide detour.

"Even though I've been working out consistently for the past five years, there's still quite a gap between me and a real ninja," Xu Fan couldn't help but lament.

But the good thing was that he had finally bypassed the guards of Kiba Village and was close to reaching the border.

However, just as Xu Fan was about to finish signing in, he noticed someone else's figure.

Could it be that he had been discovered?

Had the Konoha ninjas caught up with him?

Xu Fan quickly hid behind a large tree and carefully observed the situation.

What Xu Fan never expected was that the other party was not a guard from Konoha.

It was someone from the Cloud Ninja Village.

The man, like Kakashi, wore his forehead protector diagonally. His legs moved like the wind, and he carried an unconscious little girl in one hand as he rushed forward.

Xu Fan's gaze narrowed. With the help of the moonlight, he recognized the identity of the little girl.

"Wait, isn't that the Hyuga clan's Hinata?" Xu Fan froze. In his memory, the Cloud Ninja Village had attempted to kidnap Hinata, but they had been stopped by Hyuga Hiashi before they could escape the village.

How had they reached the border?

Was this the butterfly effect?

"No..." Xu Fan shook his head. Thinking about it carefully, the incident of Hinata's kidnapping was filled with oddities. "Could it be that the Hyuga family is hiding the truth...?"

It was quite possible. Neji was originally a junior and a member of the branch family. It was unlikely that he would know the details of what had happened that day.

But just as Xu Fan was muttering about this matter, a murderous aura came from behind him.

Whoosh—

A cold light flashed. Xu Fan quickly rolled to the side and looked furiously at his attacker. It was a ninja from the Cloud Ninja Village.

"I've been discovered."

"Kill him."

The pent-up grudge against Kiba, as well as the current situation, instantly ignited the killing intent of these ninjas.

They drew their kunai one after another, intending to finish Xu Fan here and then leave with their leader.

Seeing this, Xu Fan began to run wildly.

These Cloud Ninja Village ninjas had even attempted to kidnap Hinata. They would not let him go.

Luckily, within a few breaths, Xu Fan reached the border of the forest.

Ding!

"Congratulations on successfully arriving at the check-in location. It is time to start checking in!"

"The progress of signing in needs to reach one hundred percent. Quitting in the middle is considered a failure!"

Hearing the auxiliary voice, Xu Fan's mood eased a bit. But in the next second, he felt a kunai brush against his cheek, leaving a bloodstain.

Thud!

The kunai stabbed directly into the tree trunk in front of Xu Fan. An unprecedented killing aura closed in on him.

He turned around violently, as if what he saw was not a human being, but an evil spirit that had crawled out from the depths of hell.

1%...

23%...

Xu Fan subconsciously retreated but felt a stabbing pain in his ankle.

A handful of black kunai had cut through his muscles, causing him to lose the ability to run.

Then, these Cloud Shinobi Village ninjas raised their kunai and charged toward Xu Fan.

"Die, Kiba brat!"

69%...

77%...

A sharp pain shot through Xu Fan's ankle. It was too late to dodge, so he could only brace himself as the cold weapons swung toward him.

100%!

Ding!

"Congratulations to the host! Sign-in successful!"

"Reward obtained: Chakra and Chakra Burst from Jūgo!"
