Back to the present
In the 38th year of Konoha, Mitsuki is about to turn five years old.
The weather was exceptionally good today, which seemed to have given Mist Shinobi an advantage on the battlefield. When the villagers outside talked to each other, everyone had a lot more smiles on their faces compared to last winter.
"It looks like the war is almost over."
"Thanks to the Third Hokage!"
The villagers of Konoha thought so with hope for a peaceful future.
But can the war really end so easily?
As a time traveler who is familiar with the plot, Shimizu Mitsuki knows that the war will not end, but is about to enter its most cruel and intense period.
Even Ying will lose his life in this protracted war.
As for his own life, Shimizu Mitsuki was not particularly worried. As a time traveler, he still had his own cheat system.
And five years old is a very important time point for Mitsuki's system.
Although Mitsuki's system is very, well, to say it's simple is a bit of an exaggeration.
[Host: Shimizu Mitsuki]
[Skill: Chakra Refining Technique]
[Prayer Harvest: None]
[Mail: No new mail]
Okay, that's it. You can see that this system adopts a simple style.
Although Shimizu Mitsuki in his previous life also liked the simple style, when it comes to his own future, he still wants a system with as many functions as possible.
It would be best to have a system elf or a poster girl. It would be even better if it had long straight black hair or white hair with animal ears.
Sadly, this fantasy was never realized, and Shimizu Mitsuki's system has no intelligence of its own and only has four functions.
One is the data panel display, which shows Mitsuki's current skills.
The second is the wishing function. Each wish will consume a wishing heart. If the wish is successful, a skill that is most suitable for the Host will be obtained.
When I bound the system for the first time, I was given one directly, but the success rate of a single wish was 1%. After drawing ten times, the success rate of the last wish would be 100%.
Commonly known as the big guarantee.
The third is the sign-in function. If you open the system panel once a day, you will automatically sign in. If you sign in for a full year, you will be rewarded with a wishing heart.
The fourth is the email function which seems to be the most useless, and in fact it is really useless.
But every year on Mitsuki's birthday in this world, the system will send a blessing email and a wishing heart as a gift.
Therefore, the age of five is particularly important to Shimizu Mitsuki. After receiving the system gift on his birthday this year, he can draw the tenth guaranteed prize!
When he was reincarnated into this world a while ago, Mitsuki had drawn a single draw, thinking that maybe he could draw some ability and save Chiyoko.
The result is obvious, they are all used as cushions.
It seems that if you want to draw something, you can only wait for the big guarantee.
What would be the best fit for my current abilities? Mitsuki was looking forward to her birthday with this thought in mind.
The next morning
"Father, is there a new mission?"
Hearing the sound of Shimizu Kento counting the ninja tool bag, Shimizu Mitsuki put down the pan in which he was frying eggs, jumped down from the small stool next to the stove, and stuck his head out from the small door of the kitchen and asked knowingly.
"Yeah, Mist Shinobi, well, anyway, there are still many tasks in the village that need manpower."
Shimizu Kento responded to Mitsuki while carefully counting the number of Detonating Tags.
"I will leave tomorrow. If you need anything, you can go to the takeover office to find Mrs. Nohara."
"Yes, father."
Speaking of the child care home, in order to prevent unexpected situations, all the children are taken care of by the ladies together.
But each lady also has several children that she is mainly responsible for. Mrs. Nohara Ai is the one who is responsible for taking care of Shimizu Mitsuki.
Mrs. Nohara Ai was very enthusiastic. When her daughter was just one year old, she saw that the orphanage was short of staff, so she came to the orphanage to help, saying, "I want to find some playmates for Lin-chan."
When Shimizu Mitsuki was 3 years old, he was finally allowed to move freely between the Shimizu family and the conservatorship.
It's not that they took over all the bad parts. On the contrary, since they are all mothers with children, each lady is very experienced in taking care of children.
But the ladies were too enthusiastic. After all, Shimizu Mitsuki was a time traveler with memories of his past life. He really couldn't handle this scene. He kept hitting people with the ball.
I don't know how to enjoy it.
But it's no wonder that the ladies are so enthusiastic. To be honest, Shimizu Mitsuki's appearance in this life is indeed eye-catching, combining all the advantages of Chiyoko and Shimizu Kento.
Chiyoko is very beautiful, but she looks a bit masculine. Her eyebrows and eyes are extremely sharp, and her golden curly hair is draped behind her back. If she were in modern times, she would look like a hot girl from North Blue at first glance.
Kento Shimizu has simple white short hair with a meticulous hairstyle, making him look like a decent intellectual. It's a pity that Kento has very good eyesight, otherwise he could cosplay as a hardcore detective with glasses.
Shimizu Mitsuki, who has inherited the best genes from both, has the same hair color as Kento, but has short white curly hair that is not very smooth but has an inexplicable sense of artistic design.
There was a rebellious strand of hair on top of it, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be carved from the same mold as Chiyoko, just as sharp and energetic.
There is also a pair of blue pupils that are as clear and transparent as the surface of a calm lake.
Actually, Shimizu Mitsuki originally wanted to have long hair like her mother Chiyoko. After all, she had short hair in her previous life due to the mainstream aesthetic.
He remembered that in the Hokage world, there were many male ninjas with long hair. The First Generation leader Hashirama had waist-length black hair.
But this idea was rejected by Shimizu Kento, who was about to go on a mission.
After hearing Mitsuki's thoughts, he was stunned for a moment, replied hurriedly, lowered his head, turned around and walked out.
"I don't think long hair suits you, Mitsuki."
This was Shimizu Kento's opinion. Mitsuki didn't care. He wanted to grow long hair only on a whim. However, his father rarely rejected his request directly.
Because before, Shimizu Kento had always responded to Mitsuki's various requests, including asking his father to teach him Chakra refinement techniques.
You know, kids of the same age are still playing the Hokage game. Shimizu Mitsuki himself didn't expect that Kento would agree to his request just by making a casual request. Lucky!
Then again, since my father, who always dotes on me, doesn't agree with me growing long hair, it's probably because I really don't suit long hair!
Mrs. Nohara did say that she really wanted to see a long-haired version of Mitsuki-chan. What a sinful woman! She must have treated herself as a dress-up doll and wanted to make the future light of the ninja world, Mitsuki-sama, fall into the world of women's clothing.
Fortunately, my father exposed Mrs. Nohara's conspiracy, which prevented the great Mitsuki from leaving a dark history.
Well, great, no need to say more!
...
After recalling some trivial things from before, Shimizu Mitsuki came back to his senses, put the prepared breakfast on the dining table, and called Kento to have breakfast.
The Shimizu family had been commoners for generations, and there was no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, so while eating, Shimizu Mitsuki raised his head slightly and looked at his father and spoke.
"How long will this mission take, father? Ah, of course I'm not trying to get information about your mission, it's just... nothing."
Forget it, let's not ask. Shimizu Mitsuki wailed inwardly. Does physical age really affect mental age? Is it a problem of hormone secretion?
Although he died accidentally in his previous life, it was ultimately caused by force majeure. After all, all of humanity was finished, and he spent his last moments with his family, so he has no regrets.
Therefore, when living a new life, Shimizu Mitsuki actually planned to start over again and was ready to face the new life with a new mentality.
However, this situation of getting stuck in the middle of a sentence obviously still made Shimizu Mitsuki blush.
"You want me to come back before your birthday, right?"
Shimizu Kento was indeed experienced and could tell at a glance what Mitsuki was struggling with.
"Don't worry, I'll be back before then. Until then, look forward to your birthday present, Mitsuki."
"Well, I'll be looking forward to it!"
