chapter 1

The dim light of dawn filtered through the cracks in the old wooden shutters, casting a warm glow over the small, sparsely furnished room.

I slowly opened my eyes, disoriented by my surroundings.

Gone were the familiar comforts of my previous life; instead, I found myself in a traditional Japanese-style house.

The tatami mats under me, the sliding shoji doors, and the minimalist decor all seemed straight out of a historical drama.

I shook my head, trying to piece together how I had ended up here.

Memories flooded my mind like a torrent, overwhelming and chaotic.

In less than half a minute, I came to a startling conclusion: I had transmigrated!

I had transmigrated to a different world—a world of ninjas, chakra, and jutsus.

A world I had only ever seen on screen.

And it wasn't just any time in this world.

From the conversations the previous owner of this body, I gathered something more ominous—the looming threat of the Shinobi War.

Yes,now is the 42th year from the. foundation of Konoha if i am not mistaken then next year would start the shinobi world war.

This is a very turbulent time

Kumo, Tsuchi, Kiri,and Suna....they all aimed at konoha

I was in the past, before the events I knew from the series had even begun.

"With jounin-level strength there wold be nothing wrong in surviving."

Kaito grumbled in his heart

Unfortunately, i don't have the strength of a jonin at best he has the strength of an elite genin at best with a little above average physical skills

Panic set in.

How could I possibly survive in a world on the brink of war? Damn it!

Practice ninjutsu? Practice my ass!

For some reason, this body, even after graduating from the academy, still hadn't mastered ninjutsu besides three basic techniques, and his chakra wasn't even worth mentioning.

He only had Genin-level reserves with shit chakra control.

If it wasn't for the threat of war and the need for manpower, the village wouldn't have any use for fodder like him.

How could I possibly survive in a world where chakra was everything?Sighing to myself, I did a quick tour of the house.

I came across a small shrine with two framed photographs of a couple who, from my memories, were this body's parents, adorned with incense sticks and offerings.

Bits and pieces of information flooded back to me.

My parents were ninja who had died on a mission, sacrificing their lives to protect the village.

This information left me in further panic as I realized I was now alone in this world without any help.

The Third Shinobi War was notorious for its brutality and the sheer number of lives lost.

How could I survive here?Damn it! I refused to give in to despair.

If I couldn't use chakra like everyone else, I would carve out my own path using Taijutsu.

After all, there were characters like Might Guy and Rock Lee who relied on pure skill and strength.

But as I pondered my path, doubt crept in.

What chance did I have against those big bosses in the later stages of the anime where even kage-level powerhouses were nothing but fodder?

Suddenly, a strange sensation washed over me.

It felt like a surge of energy, a spark of something new and powerful awakening within me.

A translucent screen appeared before my eyes, filled with lines of text and icons.

My heart raced as I tried to comprehend what I was seeing.

...

[SYSTEM ACTIVATED]

Drawing template for host...

Starting Character Template:

Rob Lucci (One Piece)Unlocked: 30% of Rob Lucci's Abilities

...

My eyes widened in disbelief.

Could this be my chance to survive, maybe even thrive, in this world?

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart, and focused on the translucent screen before me.

I quickly scanned through the lines of text and icons, trying to make sense of the system's interface.

The template tab showed Rob Lucci, the fearsome CP9 agent from One Piece.

With 30% of his abilities unlocked, I felt a surge of power and newfound confidence.

I could use some of his signature techniques—Rokushiki, the Six Powers martial arts style, including Soru for high-speed movement, Tekkai for hardening my body, and Shigan for finger pistol strikes.

Just as I was getting a grasp on the system, another notification popped up in front of me:

...

[NOTICE]

You have unlocked 30% of the Rob Lucci template. Once Host unlocks full template. Chance is given to host yo randomly draw a new template.

Use your abilities wisely and train diligently to unlock more potentiaI.

...

i stared at the notification, feeling a mixture of relief and excitement.

Once I unlock the full template I can still get to draw another template.

This system was my ticket to not just surviving, but becoming a force to be reckoned with in this dangerous world.

With Rob Lucci's abilities at my disposal, I had a fighting chance.

Determined to make the most of this opportunity, I dropped to the floor and called out the system to accapt the template.

As i accepted i could feel a strange power flowing within me strengthening me.

Countless memories and experience flashed through my head as I continued to absorb them.

After a few moments, I collapsed onto the tatami mat, a little exhausted but exhilarated.

The system had given me a glimmer of hope, a path to carve out my own destiny in this world.

I would train hard and push my limits, just like Rob Lucci, and become strong enough to survive—and thrive.

With renewed determination, I got up and prepared to face whatever challenges this world had in store for me.

This was just the beginning.
