Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Died

Midnight.

Ryan walks through the abandoned house. He looks anxious, and his eyes are flickering.

"Hello, guys..."

Ryan greets the phone in front of him in a low voice, with his phone streaming live.

"Tonight's vlog is supposedly a haunted unfinished building!"

Ryan's voice is trembling with tension.

Of course.

This isn't fake, and he is genuinely scared.

As an experienced IT programmer, Ryan has learned to become a live streamer to capitalize on his fame after an unexpected surge in popularity.

He chose the same outdoor adventure genre.

Only...

He doesn't know the house here. 

He didn't scout the location beforehand or set up any arrangements, and he's genuinely on an adventure.

"Another live stream in an unfinished building!"

"Boring!"

"Streamer, hurry up and go in!"

"What are you hesitating for!"

"Is this the bravery needed for outdoor streaming?"

Ryan's phone screen constantly flashed with comments, mostly from haters. 

After all, too many people envied his looks.

'Heh!'

He sneered inwardly, but ignoring these comments didn't mean he wasn't affected.

He mustered courage and took a step forward, and his pace quickened a bit.

Suddenly, Ryan's phone sounded crackling as if something strange was happening, and the screen went blank.

"What's going on?"

A strange little question mark appeared in Ryan's mind.

'Out of battery? It shouldn't be! Because it was fully charged before the livestream started!'

Click!

A flash of lightning unexpectedly streaked across the night sky, illuminating the entire sky and revealing the unfinished building that looked like a slumbering giant.

"Damn it! What kind of weather is this!? It was fine just a moment ago!"

"How unlucky!"

Ryan complained repeatedly, knowing that the sound of thunder was about to follow.

It was going to rain, and he couldn't continue the livestream!

He quickly turned to leave, but suddenly, a strange aura appeared before him.

This colorful aura gave off a mysterious power that quickly entered Ryan's head.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

A cute, slightly sultry voice echoed from Ryan's mind, startling him and making him momentarily dazed.

"Detected the presence of a cute host!"

"Starting binding now!"

"…"

"Binding successful!"

"Hello, cute host..."

Click!

Just as this adorable system prompt rang his mind, a lightning bolt descended from the sky, passing through his phone and penetrating his body.

Ryan felt very electrified as electric currents crackled around him and smoke rose from him.

Everything went black before his eyes.

And then...

A voice rang in Ryan's ear.

"Summoning Jutsu: Reanimation!"

Boom!

He felt his body vibrating, and all other sounds were completely drowned out.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

"Hello, cute host!"

"I'm so happy... Wait a minute! Why is the host a male?!"

The system's cute voice was filled with astonishment as it suddenly realized something very serious.

"Oh my god! I bound the wrong person, and the host isn't a cute girl. I'm a cute, intelligent system designed specifically for girls!"

"Wuwuwu..."

The system's cute voice was tinged with a whimpering cry, causing him to be left with a face full of questions who had just regained his senses.

At this moment, Ryan understood that he had acquired a system.

It was just that... The system was a bit odd.

And then...

It seemed like he had been struck by lightning again and ended up in this dark, gloomy place!

"System, do you know where this is?"

Ryan focused his thoughts and directly asked the system in his mind. 

This strange system disoriented him a bit.

"Not sure! But I might know something. I'll load your personal profile now!"

The system quickly responded, realizing that the host's profile hadn't appeared yet.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The system emitted a cute, eerie cry.

"Information loading error!"

"Energy deficiency!"

"System crash!"

"Restarting..."

The cute loli voice suddenly vanished.

In almost an instant, the voice rang out again.

"System restart successfully!"

"Loading interface information..."

"Loading failed!"

"Loading task information..."

"Loading failed!"

"Loading shop information..."

"Loading failed!"

This series of loading failures made Ryan's scalp tingle. 

As a former programmer, he sensed that the system was most likely broken.

What terrible luck!

He felt he was the unluckiest transmigrator. 

From the looks of it, not only had he been struck by lightning, but so had the system.

"System fairy loading..."

"Loading successful!"

Suddenly, he noticed that the scene before him brightened, and a small fairy, about the size of a palm, appeared in front of him.

The fairy had big, blinking eyes and looked incredibly cute, with two long ears poked out from her light blue hair styled into a braided ponytail. 

She wore a pale green dress and had a pair of small white wings on her back, fluttering continuously.

"Host, now you can see it!"

The little fairy waved her chubby little hand.

"…"

He looked at the swaying little hand and was instantly at a loss for words, unable to even make a snarky comment.

Cute!

But…

This is a defective system, isn't it?

"Oh, right!"

"The system information still isn't fully loaded!"

She promptly opened the phone cover and pointed at the buttons to press them.

This scene only made Ryan feel that this system was even more unreliable!

"Continue loading!"

"Identity display loading…"

"Loading successful!"

[Identity Information]

Name: Senju Hashirama.

Status: Deceased.

Level: God of Shinobi.

"????"

A lot of question marks appeared in Ryan's mind.

'Senju Hashirama?!'

'Isn't that the First Hokage?'

'But…'

'What does deceased mean?'

"Oh no, this is a big problem!"

The little fairy's cute voice carried a hint of panic as she flipped through her phone.

"Host. I have some bad news for you. It seems that while I was operating your transmigration... You were struck by lightning and died. So I wasn't able to bring your body over. I only managed to bring over your soul, and it happened to overwrite it here. So now, you're no longer yourself!"

"You are…"

She looked seriously at the information on her phone, blinking her big eyes, raising her little head, and staring at Ryan.

"Senju Hashirama!"

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Forbidden Technique

This is a bit exaggerated!

Ryan wanted to look down at his body but found that he couldn't move at all.

It felt like being in a nightmare with sleep paralysis, but his consciousness was still clear, and his body couldn't move!

However… The feeling of this body was distinctly different.

There's no breathing and no heartbeat. He couldn't even sense any temperature.

"System... Ah, no. What should I call you?"

"You can call me Puck..."

"Okay, Puck. What's going on with me right now?"

Ryan's mind was filled with question marks.

This was no longer just a matter of a wrong transmigration stance.

The entire transmigration process was filled with bewildering details.

"Host, to put it simply, you died when you were struck by lightning, and now you've transmigrated into a dead person's body, which happened to be summoned here!"

The cute voice of the "Puck" system echoed in Ryan's mind, explaining his confusion.

"Host, there's another piece of bad news. I was struck too when you were struck by lightning, and now the system is severely damaged. Most of the functions can't be loaded!"

The "Puck" system still appeared in her fairy form while blinking her big eyes, and her expression instantly fell. 

She looked adorable but had a touch of disappointment.

"So you're basically useless now…"

Ryan's face darkened.

It turns out he got a useless system aside from being cute.

"Well, not entirely!"

Puck first nodded, then shook her head, quickly pressing buttons on her phone with her chubby little hands.

"Aside from identity information, I can still load skill information for you."

"Loading skill information…"

"Loading successful!"

[Skill Information]

Wood Release: MAX.

Super Strength: MAX.

Summoning Jutsu: MAX. (Unavailable)

Healing Technique: MAX. (Unavailable)

Sage Mode: MAX. (Unavailable)

The information list showed only five abilities, three of which were unavailable.

"Why are the latter ones unavailable?"

Ryan figured it was worth asking since it was his system.

"Host, it's like this! It seems there were originally many abilities, but they can't be loaded because the system is damaged and energy is missing. The system's enhancement abilities are also gone, but fortunately, you have a max-level character. The three unavailable abilities are related to the living cells in your body. Currently, your living cells are at zero percent. If you can increase the index of living cells, you can gain stronger powers, unlock other abilities, and even potentially resurrect on the spot!"

Puck explained one thing after another.

With this explanation, Ryan understood.

'Living cells should refer to the Senju cells!'

Currently, he is in the Impure World Reincarnation state.

It should still be a relatively basic form of Impure World Reincarnation.

As long as he remained in the Impure World Reincarnation state, both Summoning Jutsu and Healing Technique would be unavailable.

The Impure World Reincarnation state prevents bleeding and represents an alternative form of immortality!

As for Sage Mode, it probably requires the Senju cells in his body to reach a certain proportion!

At this moment, Ryan thought of many things.

This brief experience felt like a dream, making everything seem very surreal.

He hadn't expected to become the God of Shinobi so suddenly!

"Two!"

A hoarse voice from outside rang out again, and he felt a similar shock nearby.

"Three!"

Soon, the voice rang out again.

Boom, boom, boom...

The third shock quickly surged and then dissipated, leaving almost no trace.

"It seems the third one didn't get summoned!"

Creeeak...

As Ryan listened to the sounds from outside, a glimmer of light appeared before his eyes.

Then...

Clang!

The coffin lid fell to the ground, revealing everything before him.

"Host is out, Puck..."

Puck fluttered her wings and flew over, holding a mirror in her chubby little hands.

The mirror was directed at Ryan.

Ryan's gaze fell upon his reflection in the mirror.

He wore crimson battle armor, a Leaf Village ninja headband on his forehead, and black hair flowing freely down his back.

He also exuded an aura of dominion over all!

This was indeed the Impure World Reincarnation state!

"This..."

Ryan looked at his current self, feeling quite complex. After more than twenty years, his appearance had suddenly changed.

"Host, don't worry because only you can see and hear me. Now I'm going to Impure World Reincarnation's restraints for you..."

"Remember. You are no longer human! You are the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju!"

The voice of Puck suddenly became serious, stating very important matters.

According to the system's judgment, Ryan no longer existed!

The current host is Hashirama Senju!

To be precise, this is a newly born Hashirama Senju.

"I understand. I am no longer human. So… From this moment on..."

"I am Hashirama Senju!"

After crossing into the ninja world, Ryan's soul replaced the original Hashirama's soul in the Pure Land.

A flash of lightning.

By a twist of fate, a different Hashirama Senju was thus born.

Now, Ryan is gone. It was replaced by the Hashirama Senju, coming back from the Impure World!

"It's been a long time since we last met, Monkey."

Tobirama's voice sounded from Hashirama's side, with a hint of heaviness in his voice.

"I didn't expect to meet you, brothers, again in this way. What a pity!"

The voice of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi rang out clearly, reaching Hashirama's ears.

Hashirama Senju opened his eyes.

He slowly took in the sight of this world, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.

He was familiar because he had seen a lot of Naruto manga and anime, but unfamiliar because this was his first time here and in the form of Impure World Reincarnation. 

Hiruzen Sarutobi was right in front of him. He was dressed in combat attire, and his face looked more serious than ever.

They were surrounded by a purple barrier.

This must be the Four Violet Flames Formation!

This place…

The venue for the third round of the Chunin Exams!

Hashirama recognized it.

This was a classic plot from Naruto.

"Impure World Reincarnation?"

Tobirama slowly turned his head and looked at Orochimaru hiding behind two coffins, speaking in a deep voice. 

"Is this young man who summoned us with this forbidden technique? Remarkable!"

"Enough of your old-timer chit-chat. Let's get to work!"

Orochimaru stepped forward, holding two kunai in his hands with strange symbols on them.

The next moment, Orochimaru thrust the kunai toward the back of Hashirama and Tobirama's heads.

Bang!

At this moment, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.

In the state of Impure World Reincarnation, Hashirama Senju suddenly raised his left hand and firmly grasped Orochimaru's wrist, stabbing the kunai downwards.

"Young man."

Hashirama's indifferent voice echoed in the quiet scene, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

"There is a price to pay for using forbidden techniques!"
