Land of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village, Park.

“Esteemed guests, friends present, ladies and gentlemen, good morning!”

Applause! Applause! Applause!

After the enthusiastic applause subsided, the host pressed his hands down and continued to read.

“Today is February 1st, the 51st year of Konoha. We are gathered here in the park to celebrate the wedding of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. I am Nara Shikaku.

First, on behalf of the groom, the bride, Jiraiya-sama, and the Third Hokage, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and warm welcome to everyone’s presence.

Welcome, everyone!

Last year, we experienced the most painful battle since the founding of Konoha: the Battle of Kikyō Mountain.

In that battle, we lost far too many comrades and loved ones.

However, fortunately, we won the war.

At the end of last year, various villages gradually signed ceasefire agreements with us. Thanks to those comrades who have passed away, they created a peaceful environment for the next generation that is about to come...”

...

Listening to Shikaku's passionate speech on stage, Fei Niao's lips twitched slightly. Was the draft in Shikaku's hands borrowed from the Third Hokage?

He even managed to forcibly link marriage and childbirth to the Will of Fire.

Burning oneself to let new leaves sprout.

Resolutely stepping into the grave of marriage, just to let future generations experience this beautiful world.

Ugh!

The ninja world is too cruel; I’m only 18 and already don’t want to live anymore, and he even wants future generations to experience it???

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Itachi Uchiha, who was sitting next to him, and saw him continuously drinking soda. Fei Niao leaned slightly and whispered,

“Kid, drink less of that!”

“Why?”

Itachi looked up, puzzled.

Originally, he had been sitting at the kids’ table, but those brats were eating with their hands, which was really unappetizing, so he moved his small stool to sit with the clan members.

Unexpectedly, just after he came over and drank two cups of soda, he was lectured.

“It’s nothing special.”

Fei Niao shrugged, looking indifferent.

“I just heard that your family received a wedding gift of 200,000 ryo today, and I’m afraid you’ll get so full from soda that you’ll lose too much.

After all, your parents married early, and your family is at a disadvantage from the start.

If your parents divorced and remarried, maybe you could earn back a bit from the Fourth Hokage couple.”

After saying this, he crossed his arms and stopped speaking on the matter.

If he remembered correctly, the Fourth Hokage couple was about to pass away soon, and once they did, that 200,000 ryo gift would surely go down the drain.

Moreover, in the future, Naruto would hold a wedding ceremony, but Sasuke did not.

Back and forth, that would be at least a loss of 400,000 ryo.

What a ridiculous family.

After two meals, a blood loss of 400,000.

“Beautiful bride, do you wish to marry the handsome groom?”

“I do!”

“Oh~oh~”

The massive cheers around made Fei Niao’s ears buzz. He looked at the couple on stage who were crazily feeding each other love, his lips twitching a few times, and he joined in the applause.

Although his relationship with the Fourth Hokage couple wasn't particularly good, he still contributed 1,000 ryo as a wedding gift; after all, he still had to eat.

If it weren’t for the sudden arrival of the system, he would have run away right after finishing his meal.

Glancing at the silent Itachi Uchiha, Fei Niao closed his eyes and opened the system to study it again.

At that time, after he finished looking at those beginner gift packs, he had lost the mood to continue, but now that he had calmed down a bit, it was time to figure out how this system could enhance his strength.

[Beginner Task: Uchiha Naoki has been bullying you while taking advantage of being the elder's grandson whenever your brother (Uchiha Itachi) is out on missions. Please defeat Uchiha Naoki and make him your steadfast supporter.]

[As a prerequisite task for unlocking subsequent tasks, the beginner task cannot be abandoned.]

???

Fei Niao was filled with questions.

Uchiha Naoki???

Who the hell is he???

Going through his memories, he couldn’t find out who Uchiha Naoki was.

Moreover, why was his brother Itachi Uchiha?

Turning to look at Itachi sitting on his left, Fei Niao placed his hand on the top of his head, rubbing it while asking,

“Itachi, are there any other people in the clan with your name?”

“No!”

Seeing Itachi shake his head, Fei Niao turned again to the old man on his right and asked,

“Elder Mado, do we have someone named Uchiha Naoki in our clan?”

“Hmm?”

The old man put down his wine cup, looked Fei Niao up and down, then shifted back slightly, puzzled.

“What do you want with him?”

“It’s nothing important!”

Fei Niao raised his cup and took a few small sips before directly saying without thinking.

“I just suddenly remembered that I was bullied by that guy before, and I’ve been bored lately, so I wanted to challenge him to a fair duel.”

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man slammed his large hand heavily on the table, the immense force sending the plates flying off the table, startling Itachi, who was focused on eating, nearly choking on his food.

Holding his rice bowl with a bewildered expression, he looked around, only to see the elder on his left turning a deep purple.

“U-Uchiha Fei Niao.

Where do you get the face to challenge Naoki to a duel?

I only opposed your proposal at the clan meeting, and you actually want to take revenge on my grandson?”

Looking at Elder Mado, whose beard was standing on end and his whole body trembling, Uchiha Fei Niao blinked in confusion.

“How old is Naoki this year??”

“Two years old.”

Hearing this, Fei Niao was instantly frozen in his chair. He then picked up Itachi Uchiha and switched places with him, quickly distancing himself from Elder Mado.

That was hasty.

“System, what year is it this year?”

[Year 57 of Konoha]

“Bullshit!”

Glancing at the Fourth Hokage couple kissing on the wedding stage, his gaze passed over them to the banner behind them, which clearly read:

“Congratulations to Mr. Minato Namikaze and Miss Kushina Uzumaki on their marriage on February 1st, the 51st year of Konoha, supporting each other, growing old together.”

Fei Niao gritted his teeth, angrily shouting in his heart,

“This is the damn 51st year of Konoha, and the wedding ceremony of Minato Namikaze hasn’t even finished yet.”

[Please refer to the time recognized by the system]

“Ha!”

Fei Niao took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing to ask,

“Also, why is Itachi Uchiha my brother?? Even by generation, I should be older than him.”

[As brothers born of the same mother, he was born three years earlier than you and should be your older brother]

Fei Niao was so angry that his body trembled.

“Bullshit, I’m the only child in my family, and I’ve been raised on formula since birth, not having drunk a drop of anyone else’s milk. How do I have a biological brother?”

[Please refer to the character relationships recognized by the system]

“......”

After a long silence, Fei Niao roughly understood where the problem lay.

This broken system not only started six years early but also bound the wrong person. The more he looked at it, the more it seemed like a system for [transmigrating into Sasuke].

Forget it, since it’s in my body, it’s mine.

“I demand a change of mission!”

[The mission cannot be changed]

“I’m not Uchiha Sasuke, don’t shove his mission onto me.”

[Please refer to the task relationships recognized by the system]

“I’m a jōnin, and a very strong one within the Uchiha clan. Is it appropriate to fight a toddler who hasn’t been weaned yet?

Is this called a comeback??

Go look it up in the dictionary and see how it’s explained.”

[Please complete the beginner task]

“I don’t get along with Elder Mado. You can switch the character to him, and I’ll go find him for a comeback.”

[Please complete the beginner task]

“Uninstall the system. I want to defect.”

[Please complete the beginner task]

“Ha~ha~”

Fei Niao looked up at the sky with a cold smile. This system was completely different from what he had imagined.

He could accept the idea of signing in to get stronger; even doing tasks was acceptable.

But hitting a child... he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Moreover, this system was incredibly stubborn. Clearly binding the wrong person and misremembering the time, it just wouldn’t admit it.
