Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Frontline hospital on the border of the Land of Fire.

In an ordinary hospital room, a young ninja was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After the devastating First Shinobi World War, the war-torn shinobi world enjoyed nearly twenty years of peace. However, the stability between major powers meant their continuous expansion of power, which in turn led to the constant squeezing of the living space of small countries that could only survive in the cracks.

Now, these small countries have reached the point where they can only survive by fighting each other. Thus, the Second Shinobi World War broke out, marked by Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure in the Land of Rain, launching a three-pronged attack.

Yu Gen tried hard to recall the background of the Second Shinobi World War, but no matter how much he thought about it, it wouldn't improve his current situation... About a month ago, this ninja whose original body was named Yu Gen was seriously injured and on the verge of death on the battlefield. When he was finally rescued, his body was actually inhabited by a soul from Earth.

An ordinary young man from Earth transmigrated to the ninja world and became a Konoha ninja.

Although being seriously injured was very uncomfortable, this period of rest and recuperation gave Yu Xian enough time to accept reality. After overcoming the initial panic, he began to think about how to survive.

His injuries are nearing recovery, which means he can no longer stay in the hospital and needs to return to the front lines.

A pale white tarpaulin covered the somewhat rudimentary frontline ward, and Yu Xian felt the tranquility that was about to disappear.

"Sixteen years old, a genin (low-ranking ninja), from an orphanage, a commoner..."

If Yugen were to briefly summarize his own conditions, he would understand the role of a ninja like him on the battlefield... cannon fodder.

Escaping the battlefield was impossible; he didn't have the ability. Deserters would be swiftly eliminated. If Yu Xian wanted to increase his chances of survival, there was only one thing he could do: enhance his strength as much as possible before heading to the battlefield.

However, the ninja world is a world where bloodline is paramount. A ninja's strength is largely determined by their birth. Ordinary ninjas lack the means to become stronger, and the ceiling above their heads is more clearly visible than the height of a hospital ward tent.

"fortunately……"

Fortunately, Yu Xian had a path to become stronger. As a transmigrator, he received a gift when he came to this world. He didn't know if it could be called a "system", but it became his only lifeline.

As night fell, the frontline hospital camp was plunged into darkness. To prevent attacks, the camp was surrounded by trees and protected by a barrier, and strict blackout measures were enforced at night.

As darkness enveloped him completely, Yu Xian slowly closed his eyes. As his consciousness sank deeper, a line of words slowly appeared in the void.

"The host's mind has been detected to be in a deep state."

"The Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage instance is loading..."

Loading map...

"Your dungeon quest is as follows: Kill or defeat the mysterious masked man who caused the chaos, or capture or seal the Nine-Tailed Fox."

"Completing the task will reward you with a huge prize."

"The Nine-Tails' rampage is about to begin. Please prepare yourself, host."

「5、4、3、2、1……」

Time seemed to stand still. For a moment, Yu Xian's thoughts seemed to snap. When he regained consciousness and opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the front-line hospital, but in Konoha Village.

Yu Xian looked up and saw a dark red blood moon hanging in the sky. When he looked straight ahead, a map of Konoha appeared before his eyes.

He was quite familiar with this so-called "dungeon" environment, as he had entered it repeatedly—this was Konoha more than ten years later, in the midst of the "Nine-Tails' Rebellion" storyline.

He could only ignore things like "dungeon quests and rewards" because he couldn't even beat ordinary ninjas, so he had no right to even approach the boss.

The next moment, with a huge roar, the ground trembled violently, and then a huge orange-red figure appeared in the village. It let out a violent roar, and the negative emotions surrounding it almost made people lose their minds.

"Nine-Tails..."

This is the Nine-Tails. Even though he had seen it several times, Yu Xian still found it hard to believe.

With the appearance of the tailed beast, a large amount of corrosive energy dissipated in the air, and Yugen's skin even felt a slight burning stinging sensation.

The dungeon environment was incredibly realistic; Nine-Tails could easily crush Yu Xian, but he didn't panic... not because he was confident, but because he wasn't afraid of death.

In fact, he had already died when he entered the dungeon before, simply from the Nine-Tailed Fox's unknown area-of-effect attack. However, the punishment for death was merely to force him to exit the dungeon and increase the dungeon's cooldown time... This punishment was negligible.

By now, Yu Xian has basically figured out how much help the dungeon can provide. Simply put, it's just like a game dungeon... Defeating ninjas here will grant you some experience, which will allow Yu Xian to level up and strengthen his abilities.

However, this enhancement has two limitations. First, although Yu Xian can repeatedly enter the dungeon, he can only gain experience from a single ninja. Second, experience is only gained if the final blow is delivered to the target.

In addition, sometimes dead ninjas drop ninjutsu, but the probability is very low.

Yu Xian watched as the Konoha ninjas became active due to the Nine-Tails' rampage. To him, these people were just walking experience points, but his strength was far from enough to deal with them... If he were strong enough to easily defeat them here, he wouldn't have needed to come here.

Previously, when he was active in the dungeon, Yu Xian could only sneakily finish off the enemy. That is, if he found a ninja who was seriously injured and dying by the Nine-Tails, he would quietly approach and deliver the final blow... commonly known as "killing dog".

It's easy to imagine that this sneaky behavior wouldn't bring him much benefit; the efficiency of gaining experience was very low. But this time was different; this time he was preparing a big operation.

Yu Xian glanced at the Nine-Tails, then ignored it and silently opened his attribute panel... Only in dungeons would his abilities and strength be presented in a data-driven form:

Name: Yu Xian

Level: Lv2

Ninjutsu: lv2

Physical skills: lv3

Illusion: lv0

Strength: lv3

Speed: lv3

Hand seal: lv5

Wisdom: lv7

Chakra: lv3

"Evaluation: 1. Your intelligence level is normal, congratulations. 2. If we were to describe you as cannon fodder, you know, that would actually be a compliment."

For someone of Yu Xian's skill level, his survival from the battlefield last time was purely due to luck, but he can't be that lucky every time.

In order to gain the ability to protect himself, Yu Xuan decided to act boldly. Ignoring the burning village, the panicked crowd, and the angry ninjas fighting against the Nine-Tails, he rushed directly in a certain direction... that was the direction where the Nine-Tails last appeared, and also the place where the Fourth Hokage would reseal the Nine-Tails not long after.

Before he could run far, a dazzling light came from the far distance, turning the night into day. A rumbling sound spread from there, and even the atmosphere trembled... The Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, which the Fourth Hokage had teleported using the Flying Thunder God Technique, exploded in the distance.

Yu Xian glanced at it, but he didn't stop. Instead, he ran to the designated location as fast as he could and then waited quietly.

Faced with the sudden attack of the Nine-Tails, Konoha's reaction was undoubtedly a beat too slow. After the Nine-Tails wreaked havoc in the village for a while, it was only after the Third Hokage violently drove it out of the village's perimeter.

Yu Xian couldn't see the battlefield clearly from his position. After waiting patiently for a while, the Nine-Tails suddenly appeared nearby, its enormous tail almost sweeping across Yu Xian's eyes... Clearly, the Fourth Hokage had already defeated the masked man and taken the Nine-Tails far away from Konoha.

The barrier then opened, restricting the Nine-Tails' activity to this area. According to Yu Xian's understanding of the plot, the Fourth Hokage will reseal the Nine-Tails.

Yu Xian was inside the barrier, and he had to be careful of the aftershocks of the battle. If he was accidentally grazed by the Nine-Tails' attack, he would surely die.

"You can't see me, I'm just here to pick up the scraps." He could only pray silently.

At this point, neither the Nine-Tails nor the Fourth Hokage had time to pay attention to him, even if they had noticed him.

Yugen was too close to Kurama, and the stinging sensation from the tyrannical tailed beast chakra became increasingly intense. He could only mobilize his own weak chakra to barely resist the erosion of the tailed beast chakra.

He only felt much better when another massive surge of chakra erupted within the barrier and golden chakra chains bound the Nine-Tails.

The sealing was about to begin, and Yu Xian could not wait any longer. Risking being trampled to death by the Nine-Tails, he rushed to the center of the battlefield.

Halfway there, the Nine-Tails abruptly disappeared.

Yugen accelerated again, but by the time he reached the center of the battlefield, the Fourth Hokage and his wife seemed to have already said goodbye to Naruto.

The Fourth Hokage and his wife were pierced through the chest by the Nine-Tails' claws. When Yugen arrived, he realized he was too late. Kushina Uzumaki had already lost her life, and the Fourth Hokage was on his deathbed... Unfortunately, there was only one target left to gain experience.

"Hokage-sama, hold on, I'm coming to save you!"

Yu Xian shouted, "Fourth Hokage, you must hold on! Just a few more seconds!"

What did Kushina Uzumaki look like? It doesn't matter. Did Yuzuru step on her foot when he rushed over? Still, it doesn't matter, since she's already dead.

He slid in front of the Fourth Hokage and, seeing the Fourth Hokage's unfocused eyes, said anxiously, "Hokage-sama, please hold on!"

Next, Yu Xuan took out his ninja tool pouch and poured all the medicine bottles, bandages, kunai, shuriken, caltrops, and other such things into the wound on the Fourth Hokage's chest.

The pain from the wound made the Fourth Hokage twitch, and even his unfocused eyes regained some focus. He glanced down and confirmed that the young Konoha ninja was stuffing a bunch of junk into his chest.

"you……"

Is this a form of healing?

The Fourth Hokage wanted to lift his eyelids to see who this kid was, but he was on his deathbed and couldn't hold on any longer.

His final complaint remained unspoken as his consciousness faded into endless darkness.

Yugen may have only dealt five points of damage to the Fourth Hokage, but it was these five points that depleted his health bar.

The next moment, a wave of experience points came crashing down, and Yu Xian was bathed in a soft halo.
