I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

The Land of Fire.

April of Konoha Year 33, Konoha Village.

Hoshino Yu walked lazily down the street with his hands in his pockets.

A blond-haired, blue-eyed boy of about the same age, dressed in sportswear and with somewhat handsome features, would occasionally strike up a conversation with him, but he showed little interest.

The street was filled with adults leading children, but their expressions varied: some were serious, some were solemn, and a few had smiles on their faces.

They were heading in the same direction, simply because today was the first day of the ninja academy.

However, Hoshino Yu's face didn't look too good.

I don't know what got into me, but I was tricked by a blond kid named Minato Namikaze into going to some ninja academy.

"Yu, why do you seem a little unhappy?" Minato Namikaze noticed this and looked at Hoshino Yu, who had black hair and black eyes, a delicate appearance, and was dressed in smart casual clothes, and asked with concern.

"Happiness? If happiness could buy longevity, I'd be immortal by now." Hoshino Yu sighed softly, glancing at the sunny boy beside him, and said with a hint of helplessness, "What's so great about enrolling? Why did I ever agree to go with you, kid...?"

He would stop speaking halfway through his sentence.

Once you enter the ninja academy and become a ninja, you have to go to the battlefield—that's common knowledge.

Although things seem peaceful now, Hoshino Yu knows that the Second Shinobi World War is only a few years away.

Shortly after that, three more wars broke out, meaning that during this period, there was a high possibility that one could be pulled into the battlefield at any time.

The future "Yellow Flash" beside him was someone he remembered graduating at the age of ten, becoming a genin, and going to the battlefield.

Hoshino Yu felt a little anxious, but she didn't show it on her face.

He didn't know if he would survive this point.

Although his parents passed away early, he doesn't have many worries, but now he has a warm-hearted blond-haired buddy by his side.

There are cheat codes and such, but they're a bit messed up.

This guy transmigrated to the ninja world, but the semi-transparent light screen panel that appeared in his mind gave him a mission from One Piece. What kind of situation is this?

Hoshino Yu only remembered that when the system first appeared two years ago, it looked like this:

Welcome to One Piece... Error detected, restarting...

......

......

[Reboot successful! The One Piece world has loaded successfully. Hoshino Yu, congratulations on successfully traveling to the world and officially beginning your Great Pirate Journey!]

[The Grand Voyage Quest System is activated... Refreshing the quest log.]

[You have received the main quest: Meet the protagonist of One Piece, the Straw Hat Luffy.]

[Mission Reward: Rumble-Rumble Fruit *1, activated in personal attribute panel.]

Current progress: 0%

Gone.

What does it mean to know Straw Hat Luffy? Where did Luffy come from in this vast ninja world?!

Why not let him go back to the Bleach world to find the Tailed Beasts?

Looking for the Otsutsuki clan in Dragon Ball?

Hoshino Yu initially thought it was a fusion of worldviews, and spent two years searching for Luffy's traces in this world. This even forced him to write the One Piece novel last year at the age of five, hoping to inspire some chuunibyou teenagers to aspire to become the Pirate King so that he could complete his mission.

Unexpectedly, he became the village's recognized "writing prodigy." Because of the addition of the Will of Fire, his works sold very well in the village, and even Jiraiya, a disciple of the Third Hokage, praised them repeatedly.

Although it filled the gap in his lack of money, it still failed to attract the "Luffy" he longed for.

He thought that if he couldn't complete the mission and wouldn't get the reward, he might as well live a wealthy life in the village, relying on his royalties, and avoid the Ninja World War to live a few more years.

But there is no solution.

In this world, strength is everything; a wealthy man with strength is one of the two extremes of an ordinary wealthy man.

Because of the novel's immense popularity, Hoshino Yu sometimes feels like he's being watched when he's home alone at night.

He didn't know what was going on, but it was definitely right to pin the blame on some dark "root."

Minato Namikaze, his neighbor and childhood friend who lived next door, seemed to see through this and insisted on dragging him to school.

He had no choice but to go along with them.

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the gate of the ninja academy.

The towering Fire Shadow Rock stands in the distance, while the cherry blossoms at the school gate still have withered petals hanging among the tender green leaves.

Despite the vibrant spring scenery, the faces of the adults around them betrayed their unconcealed worries.

Seeing the ninjas wearing Konoha headbands maintaining order in front of the gate, Hoshino Yu sighed again.

"Why......"

"Well~ don't sigh, you're already here," Minato said with a warm smile, putting his arm around Hoshino Yu's shoulder. "Becoming a ninja and quelling the ninja world's wars is a belief that Yu-kun has instilled in me since I was little~"

"That was before," Hoshino Yu replied helplessly. "Now I just want us to live a little longer."

Hoshino Yu is determined to change the fate of his best friend who only lived to be 24 in the original story.

The more ambitious they were when they first came to the ninja world, the more pathetic they are now.

Others who transmigrate have all sorts of awesome cheat codes, like Uchiha bloodline, Senju bloodline, or even various talents.

But he discovered that apart from having a system task that he might never be able to complete in his lifetime and having a good memory, he had nothing else.

Just as I was pondering whether or not to step into the school gate, a gasp of surprise came from all around.

"Isn't that Hoshino Yu, the author of 'Uncharted Waters'? Is he enrolling today too?"

"It seems so... Wow, it really is!! Youbao! Mommy loves you!"

"I love that handsome young man next to me too!"

"Xiao You! Xiao You! Hurry up and start serializing One Piece! I'm your dad's biggest fan!"

"Tch, he's just a kid my age, what's so great about him? I could do that too..."

......

Such remarks began to emerge one after another. Hoshino Yu shrank his neck and quickly pulled Minato toward the school gate.

No wonder he's so popular; his book "The Great Voyage" won him a lot of "dad" fans, while his "mom" fans were drawn to his handsome face.

Although he is only six years old and still has baby fat on his face, he and Minato already have the potential to be handsome men.

As a result, Minato also became somewhat famous.

It was only because it was at the school gate, and there were a group of sharp-eyed ninjas guarding it, that no riot was caused.

"Yu-kun is as popular as ever." Minato put his arm around Yu's shoulder, his smile carrying a hint of teasing.

"How about I write a book called 'Secrets of the Ninja Academy' next time, and name the protagonist Minato Namikaze?" Hoshino Yu raised an eyebrow and replied with a mischievous grin, "You're so handsome, I guarantee I can make you the focus of all the girls in the school and even the whole village."

Minato quickly waved his hand, his ears turning slightly red:

"Please spare me... This honor is best left to Yu-kun."

......

After filling out the application forms, the group of ninjas led the new students' parents to the school's plaza.

"Congratulations everyone on enrolling! I hope you will all strive to become ninjas and study diligently from now on..."

"Where the leaves dance in the air, the fire will never die out..."

As usual, on the high platform stood a middle-aged man in a white robe, wearing a Hokage hat, sporting a beard, and with a gaunt face, solemnly swearing the Will of Fire.

Minato Namikaze stood ramrod straight, his expression serious, even somewhat excited, standing next to Yu Hoshino, listening attentively.

"Dude, you didn't actually listen to that, did you?"

"Hmm? Why do you say that, Yu-kun? I think what the Hokage said is very good," Minato Namikaze said after thinking for a moment.

"Hey, what kind of willpower is that? I'll tell you a story about an instructor when we get back..."

Hoshino Yu looked around and whispered, while simultaneously starting to search for people.

Seeing this, Minato also asked in a low voice:

"Who is Yu-kun looking for?"

"Find someone with red hair..."

Hoshino Yu murmured to himself, wanting to see if Kushina was there, since they entered the school in the same year and were in the same class in the original work.

Without realizing it, his gaze fell upon a figure to his left front.

It was a figure wearing a straw hat, red shirt, rolled-up trousers, and yellow rubber shoes. Although something seemed off, and the figure was noticeably taller than the other students, suggesting an older student, it was exactly the same as the figure in my memory.

That one glance lasted for eternity.

Just as dark clouds dissipate and warm sunshine shines into the world, the task panel in his mind actually showed some reaction.

[You have received the main quest: Meet the protagonist of One Piece, the Straw Hat Luffy.]

[Mission Reward: Rumble-Rumble Fruit *1, activated in personal attribute panel.]

Current progress: 50%

"Huh?! The mission actually woke up! And it's even halfway done!"

Minato noticed Hoshino Yu's slight trembling and, following his gaze, asked in a low voice:

"Yu-kun, what's wrong with that person?"

"Don't you feel like he looks like someone?" Hoshino Yu suppressed her excitement and whispered to Minato.

Upon hearing this, Minato carefully examined the figure's back, and after a moment spoke:

"Rolled-up pants, red shirt, straw hat...it feels like...Luffy from your novel."

"Correct answer!"

Hoshino Yu spoke with a hint of excitement, her eyes gleaming.

Over the past two years, he has searched for people wearing straw hats, but without exception, none of them are the Luffy he wants to meet.

At this moment, the person wearing the straw hat was right in front of him, and the system also reacted, which proved one thing.

Monkey D. Luffy has really appeared!

I can finally get my hands on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit reward!

With the blessing of the fruit, I don't need to worry about dying on the battlefield all day long!

Just as Hoshino Yu and Minato were sizing each other up, the person wearing a straw hat seemed to have noticed something and turned around to look around.

A moment later, when the other person turned and met their gaze, their appearance, and that conspicuous scar...

But this caused Hoshino Yu to unusually swear:

"Holy crap! Where did I get this?!"

"Professional mage Liu Haizhu! What are you doing here?! Where's Luffy?!"

This shout instantly shattered the solemnity of the oath-taking ceremony for the Will of Fire in the square.

All the students, parents, and even the ninjas maintaining order turned around and frowned at the two "disruptive" brats.

Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze's face flushed red. He quickly clasped his hands together and apologized to everyone, while pulling Hoshino Yu aside and whispering:

"Yu-kun, keep your voice down! And who is Liu Haizhu?"

(PS: The timeline of Naruto is inconsistent... some say the Nine-Tails' attack occurred in 48, some say 51, and later, during the Fourth Shinobi World War in 67-68, it says Naruto was 17 years old. So I've changed the timeline to 51 for the Nine-Tails' attack, and the plot timeline will follow this.)
