Naruto: Ready to Defect, But the System Arrives - *Abandoned*

This story is proving to be the most challenging one I've ever attempted to translate and edit. Each chapter takes an exorbitant amount of time to get through, and the process is incredibly inefficient. The difficulty and frustration have completely drained the fun out of it for me. Given how time-consuming and unenjoyable it has become, I've decided it's best to abandon this project altogether. It's just not worth the effort anymore.

*************************

In the 51st year since Konoha's founding, Uchiha Asuka watched as Kushina's belly grew day by day. His heart was a tumultuous mix of unease, fear, emotion, and sadness. Though the child wasn't his, he couldn't help but feel invested. After all, he was an Uchiha, and the future of Konoha would affect his clan deeply.

Naruto's birth was approaching, and with it, the impending threat of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Shimura Danzo was poised to make his move, ready to exploit the chaos for his own ends. And lurking in the shadows was the prodigy Uchiha Itachi, destined to become one of the most formidable shinobi in the ninja world.

Asuka stood in Konoha, his bags packed and ready. He pressed a kunai against his forehead protector, contemplating whether to strike it horizontally or vertically – the universal sign of a ninja abandoning their village. Just as he was about to make his decision...

Ding!

A sudden, unfamiliar sound interrupted his thoughts.

COMMENT:

I am editing a machine-translated text. Read at your own discretion. I will also be modifying some elements that I disagree with while trying to maintain the original story.

I am aware that there is another version of this story posted. I believe that my translation/editing is leagues ahead. Just can't read those other versions without getting an aneurysm.
