Hidden Leaf Village, Ichiraku Ramen.
"Thank you, Uncle Teuchi, for taking care of me today. Goodbye."
At the entrance of the ramen shop, Teuchi stood with his hands on his waist, smiling and said, "Don't be so polite, Yu. And keep up the good work tomorrow!"
...
Tomorrow?
The purpose of coming to work here from the Uchiha clan's territory was because of tomorrow!
The safest place in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, Ichiraku Ramen.
Whether it was the Nine-Tails' attack or later when Pain Six Paths destroyed the Village, this small ramen shop never changed its appearance.
And if it weren't for his sister, Izumi, who would help his mother out in that crazy situation, things would turn out to be even worse. It shows that even in the Uchiha clan's territory, it wasn't safe during the night of the Nine-Tails' attack.
Moreover, with his current body at the age of five and the reflexes from his past life, it was practically no different from suicide.
"Phew... Don't disappoint me today!"
After exhaling a breath, Yuki Uchiha quickly walked towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
The second son of the Uchiha clan's leader, Sasuke Uchiha, was born. This confirmed the timeline for Yuki: the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, which would be on October 10th this year!
And tomorrow would be October 10th, the day when the original protagonist of this world would be born. And, after midnight tonight, it would be the day when his system would arrive.
...
"I'm back."
Yuki pushed open the door, and there was a girl sitting in the living room, with a cute mole near the corner of her eye.
"Big brother is back so late. It seems like Uncle Teuchi had a good business day today."
Yuki Uchiha approached and ruffled the girl's hair. "There were many customers today. Did Izumi go to train again?"
Izumi Uchiha nodded and asked, "I never understood why big brother started working at Ichiraku Ramen. It's been a long time since you train with me."
Yuki smiled but didn't answer. At this moment, their mother, Yuzuki Uchiha, came out of the kitchen with tea.
"In fact, Yuki, you don't have to work so hard. We still have some savings at home, enough to support you until you become a Genin and start taking missions."
Yuki nodded slightly. "I've saved quite a bit in the past six months. I've already talked to Uncle Teuchi. I won't go there the day after tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yuki's mother breathed a sigh of relief. It was really unfair to let a five-year-old child go out to work and earn money. It made her feel guilty.
Yuki Uchiha sipped from his teacup, stood up, and said, "I'm a bit tired after a busy day. I'll go wash up and rest."
He then ruffled Izumi's head again. "I'll be able to practice with you the day after tomorrow, so you can't slack off, okay?"
Izumi pouted and retorted, "I practice diligently every day. Big brother is only slightly older than me. Don't let me surpass you!"
Yuki laughed, waved his hand, and went to the bathroom. As twins, he was indeed only slightly older than Izumi.
...
Night fell, and just as the hour hand on the clock passed midnight, Yuki couldn't wait any longer and sat up.
As a person who had transmigrated to the same period as Itachi, in the Uchiha clan on the top of it; only he knew how he had spent these five years.
Before his system appeared, he would wake up in a panic every time he fell asleep, often contemplating whether he should find an opportunity to escape on his own.
It was only through five years of living with his family, the affection his mother showed in her words, and the way little Izumi used to call him "big brother" that he truly understood the meaning of family.
Family, something he didn't have in his previous life, had become Yuki's anchor in this world.
And that person, the psycho who would massacre the entire clan regardless of age, in his previous life, Yuki had admired that character from the perspective of an anime and manga enthusiast. But now, experiencing it firsthand…
....
This family of three returned to the Uchiha clan after his father's death, Only to survive.
His family, which doesn't even have the qualifications to attend the clan meeting, is neither hawk nor dove. His mother works hard every day just to support both of them.
Why should his family or anyone innocent have to die; just because of Itachi worthless love for his village and clan ideology? Why?!
As someone who has come from the modern era, Yuki likes the stable life in Konoha now. But the prerequisite for this stable life should not be the lives of his family.
Yuki Uchiha clenched his fist. The actions he would take tonight would undoubtedly affect the future. If things can change, then everything will be fine. If not!
Within eight years, Uchiha Itachi himself will undoubtedly be killed by him, before the stimulation of the Izanami activates his Mangekyou Sharingan.
...
[The story of the Naruto is about to begins]
[The Intelligence Exchange System has been successfully activated]
[The Rule Replication function has been successfully activated]
Yuki focused his mind slightly and commanded in his mind: Activate the Exchange System and use the Beginner's Reward to trade with S-rank ninja, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
[S-rank ninja locked: Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze]
[Exchange System space-time flow rate has been changed]
[Do you want to activate the Shadow Mode?]
Yuki didn't hesitate for a moment: Activate it.
In a daze, the space around him blurred and then became clear again. The wooden bed beneath him turned into a chair, and in front of him was a long table with the Fourth Hokage of Konoha sitting across from him: Minato Namikaze.
"Hmm?"
In just an instant, Yuki noticed that Minato Namikaze on the opposite side furrowed his brows in confusion.
Yuki looked down at himself and indeed, he was in the Shadow Mode. Simple and straightforward, just like The Criminal in Detective Conan, except he couldn't liquefy his body. Otherwise, he would be just like the Black Zetsu, who was determined to save his mother.
"Don't waste your efforts. Your Flying Thunder God won't work here. Not only that, in this space, genjutsu, ninjutsu, even chakra won't work."
Just as Yuki finished speaking, Minato Namikaze on the opposite side moved, but was immediately pressed back by an invisible force, unable to move.
Feeling the altered vocal tone, Yuki casually waved his hand. "How should I explain this? Here, whether you're the Hokage or the Sage of Six Paths, you can't attack me. Well...in terms of the rules, no form of attack is allowed."
Feeling the oppressive force on his body, Minato Namikaze stopped and thought.
Being able to be pulled into this space from his living room at home in an instant, so much that even his Flying Thunder God didn't work, and all the ninjutsu & illusions were ineffective. Under such an unsolvable method, he could only watch and wait.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Minato asked.
Yuki Uchiha shook his head slightly. "I don't want to say who I am. As for what I want to do, you just have to think about it in your mind. The rules of this space should already be in your mind."
Minato Namikaze furrowed his brows slightly, and the sudden appearance of information in his mind made him pause for a moment.
"So you're not the creatorof this space, and this is just a trading portal. Neither party can attack each other, and... cannot lie!" Minato Namikaze continued.
Yuki nodded. "Yes, information that you don't want to disclose can remain unsaid, or you can explicitly answer that you don't want to say, but lying is not allowed."
Minato Namikaze took over the conversation. "Once someone lies, the space will give a prompt, and the trade agreement will not be established. And talents, bloodline limits, ninjutsu, etc., can all be used as chips for information exchange?"
Yuki held his temple with one hand. "The chips used in the trade will not disappear after the trade but will be replicated in this space."
"The degree of change in destiny is proportional to the chips you provide. For example... saving someone from death and changing the fate of many others. In that case, the biggest chip I can get from you is... the talent for space-time ninjutsu!"
After pondering for a moment, Minato Namikaze said, "There's nothing I want to trade for, and I don't want to replicate my talent of space-time ninjutsu for someone of unknown identity."
Just as Minato Namikaze was about to get up, Yuki immediately said, "Kushina's death date is today... it's already past midnight. And I will just consider this piece of information as a gift."
As his words fell, Minato Namikaze stared intensely at the patterns on the table.
[True]
The appearance of the word in the patterns made his hands clench into fists. The eerie space, the suppression of the rules' power, made him hesitant to bet on whether this was true or not.
At this moment, Yuki on the opposite side said, "You only need to agree for the chips to be traded, you don't need to give anything, let alone personally teach anything. If everything is fake, then I won't obtain your talent for space-time ninjutsu."
"And if everything is true, can a talent for space-time ninjutsu that will not be lost can be compare to Kushina's life? Or... Naruto's life?"
