"Uchiha Shi, the Clan Head has ordered all clan ninjas to head to the Security Department Hall."

"I know, I'm on my way right now."

Uchiha Shi nodded, his expression calm. As he responded, he fished an empty can out of the river.

The Uchiha Chūnin messenger gave him a puzzled look and, before disappearing, whispered a warning, "Kid, the Third Kazekage has gone missing, and tensions at the border are escalating. It looks like the Ninja World War is about to break out."

"You're just a Genin now. Don't overestimate yourself and take on missions you shouldn't."

Then, the Chūnin frowned and glanced at what Uchiha Shi was doing, saying with a sigh, "As an Uchiha, what you should be doing is training hard and improving your strength. Don't waste your time on these garbage missions."

With that, whoosh—

the Chūnin left.

Uchiha Shi's eyes immediately lit up with barely contained excitement. He threw the fork he was using to clean the river, flipped over the water, and jumped to the shore.

He casually tossed the can into a burlap sack on the riverbank.

"Damn, the Ninja World War is finally about to break out?"

Uchiha Shi's face was filled with excitement.

"Finally, I can leave the village and die. This year has been a real drag!"

"Picking up trash, catching cats, babysitting, clearing the river..."

"These insignificant tasks, how can I die with dignity?"

Uchiha Shi took a deep breath, his hands trembling with excitement.

"I, can finally go home!"

It was clear that the current Uchiha Shi was not the original Uchiha Shi from the Shinobi World history.

He was a time traveler.

However, he was not an ordinary time traveler.

He was the Heavens' Chosen Hero, selected one in a million by the Will of the Heavens!

What is a Heavens' Chosen Hero?

In simple terms:

He would be randomly assigned a Talent, then sent to various chaotic times, where he would use his personal abilities and efforts to rewrite the tragedies that were supposed to happen and push society forward, achieving a Happy Ending.

Completing this task, Uchiha Shi would receive a substantial reward and return to his original world.

Conversely, if he failed or acted maliciously, he would be judged and eliminated by the Heavenly Will at the end.

Of course, as a legitimate Heavenly Will, insurance would be provided for Uchiha Shi.

During his journey as a Heavens' Chosen Hero to save the world, if any accidents occurred, he would receive compensation.

He would return to his original world with a substantial insurance payout (500 million).

This standard could not be lower than the original history, and malicious suicide would not be compensated.

Uchiha Shi had been waiting for this moment to arrive.

His original body had lost both parents at a young age and, due to his mediocre abilities, was often bullied by clan members. So far, he was just a Genin.

In the Naruto series, no one had ever heard of such a person. It was estimated that he would either die in the Third Ninja World War, the Night of the Nine-Tails, or the Clan Extermination Night.

In other words, he was cannon fodder.

And what was the fate of cannon fodder?

Uchiha Shi didn't need to think twice to come up with the answer—

It was the battlefield! As long as he was on the battlefield and killed, even the most stringent Heavenly Will Insurance Company would have to pay the premium!

Coincidentally, it was now the eve of the Third Ninja World War.

With the loss of the Third Kazekage, the Hidden Sand Village would soon formally declare war on the Hidden Leaf Village, advancing the front lines further.

From this point on, various forces would engage in a chaotic battle.

The Battle of Green Barrier Coral Rock and Mist!

The Cloud Lightning Gorge Invasion!

The Third Raikage's final battle, facing thousands alone!

The Land of Rain, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the Dragon Soul Slaying!

The Battle of the Valley of the End!

The Battle of Mount Katsuragi!

Those legendary ninjas!

The most brutal war to date!

All the secret whispers and greedy lines on the map would erupt during this period!

Uchiha Shi thought that with so many classic battles, he could easily die a clear and straightforward death by joining any one of them!

Being cannon fodder, dying couldn't be any quicker!

Even if, by some miracle, he survived all these wars, Uchiha Shi could still maintain a calm heart and be happy.

After all, there was still the Night of the Nine-Tails and the Clan Extermination Night to look forward to!

Of course, Uchiha Shi had considered truly becoming a Heavens' Chosen Hero to rewrite history.

After all, he had many regrets in the Naruto series.

However, after assessing the situation, he realized that

with his abilities, achieving a better outcome than Naruto was almost like a dream.

Naruto had a series of buffs like Talent, father's support, ancestors' support, and the Sage of Six Paths' support, and even with these, he almost failed against the top-tier forces in the Naruto world.

And he, Uchiha Shi, was just a weakling who couldn't even activate the Sharingan.

He couldn't trace his lineage to obtain the power of Indra or the Six Paths for genetic mutation;

nor could he, with his level of knowledge, develop advanced technology to become a god.

What could he rely on?

Even if he had a buff like opening a Mangekyō Sharingan at the start, the Heavenly Will Company's buffs were insufficient. To this day, the Talent he was supposed to have received had not even arrived.

Apart from being cannon fodder, he couldn't think of any way for his mortal body to turn the tide.

So, once Uchiha Shi realized he could reasonably claim insurance, his mindset did a 180-degree turn.

After all, 500 million is a lot, isn't it?

As for saving the world, let's just say, we should believe in the Prince!

As for Uchiha Shi, he would find a place in the tumultuous prelude to the Shinobi War—

a place to die, bowing and scraping, until the very end!

Just look at this level of resolve; even Hiruzen Sarutobi would shed tears!

He would even burn paper money for him at the Memorial Stone!

"Calling the clan at this critical moment must be for a war mobilization meeting. Dangerous missions are already few, and I can't let them take them from me!"

"I have to hurry!"

"This time, I'm going to risk my life for the Hidden Leaf Village!"

"I can definitely do it!"

Uchiha Shi's eyes hardened, and without hesitation, he took off his rain boots and rushed towards the Security Department!

He didn't even bother with the burlap sack and fork on the shore.

Beside him, Uchiha Clan's Shisui, who was passing by and leaping across rooftops to the Security Department, happened to hear Uchiha Shi's words.

He was stunned for a moment, almost losing his footing and falling off the roof.

Then, his eyes lit up:

"There's someone in the Uchiha Clan who shares my thoughts?"

Shisui looked at Uchiha Shi running towards the sunset, rubbing his chin.

"But... the mission the Clan Head is about to announce is too dangerous."

"I can't let such a young and dedicated comrade die!"

With that, Shisui's eyes hardened.

As a good guy who loved the village, he understood Uchiha Shi's sincere dedication to the village.

In such a state of mind, it was easy to get carried away and take on missions that others wouldn't even dare to look at, just to prove oneself.

Many good men had lost their lives for such foolish reasons.

This was truly a pity.

And Shisui, he would not let such a tragedy happen in front of him!

Especially—

those two mobilization missions that were almost certain to be deadly!

New book, please support, please follow, please give me everything. This book has summarized the problems of the previous ones, and I have carefully planned the outline and arranged the highlights. Please rest assured and dive in!

I will strive to present a different shinobi world, delving into the conflicts between small countries, small organizations, and major powers, the elimination of bloodlines, the fusion of the Blood Dragon Eye and Sharingan, the immortality of the Evil God Cult, the water transformation of the Hozuki, and the awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan based on the mythological system of Japan, along with explosive plot twists and the taboo power of mortals defying the gods.
