Naruto: What Does It Mean to Fight for All That Is Good in the World?

I was a nameless soul. For some reason, I transmigrated into a ninja of Konoha’s Hyuga Branch Family.

The Caged Bird Seal was carved into my forehead, and my fate was written as “destined to be sacrificed.”

Other transmigrators came with god-tier systems, but mine could only say:

[Sorry, Host, please cultivate on your own. Apart from providing you with one awakening condition, this System is purely decorative. If you have nothing else, please don’t bother me...]

A useless System, a useless Branch Family, a useless life: that was what I should have thought.

Until the day those pure white eyes were covered by a wash of purple light, until the so-called awakening finally arrived... In that moment, what appeared in my eyes was no longer fate, but countless versions of “me” in the future, passing a torch across the river of time.

And so, the bad-ending script of the Hokage world began to slowly fall apart before my eyes.

I watched the night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, as a boy named Itachi bore the darkness alone.

I watched Naruto shrink into a ball on a swing while the whole village looked at him coldly.

I watched Neji die at the hands of the Ten-Tails, the Caged Bird Seal on his forehead finally dissolving only at the moment of his death.

And countless others who were supposed to meet tragic ends in the many possible futures.

“No.”

“When I wasn’t here, this world was full of regrets. If things stay the same even after I arrive, then what was the point of coming?”

“This time, I’ll save everyone...”
