Chapter 1

[3rd POV]

In the 28th year of Konoha, one year before the Second Shinobi World War.

As if anticipating the intense war was coming, Konoha held several Jōnin meetings to decide how to use their resources and where to send their shinobi.

Today was another important meeting.

Sosuke was one of the Jōnin attending the meeting.

He had transmigrated into the world of Naruto eighteen years ago and was a student in the same class as the 'Legendary Sannin.' 

However, compared to them, who had already reached elite…Jōnin-level strength, Sosuke was still just a "Special Jonin," which made him seem much weaker.

He was born into a typical family in the Hidden Leaf Village. He had relied on his knowledge from transmigrating to train early before other kids, still running around in diapers.

Unfortunately, this was a world where having a powerful bloodline was really important.

Even though he trained hard and created a strong kenjutsu to fight Jōnin, Sosuke was only given a special promotion to "Tokubetsu Jōnin."

If nothing unexpected happened, Sosuke would likely remain a Tokubetsu Jōnin for the rest of his life.

As he listened to the meeting by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sosuke looked sleepy. He was already planning to take a good nap once he got back.

Meetings like this were way above Sosuke's level as a Tokubetsu Jōnin, and they had no right to speak.

He was basically just there to sit and listen. The real decisions were made by the Third Hokage and his advisors.

Just then, a crisp female voice rang out:

"I believe we should take this opportunity to establish a proper medical system! Also, every battle team should have at least one medical shinobi!"

He turned his head and saw that the one speaking was none other than Tsunade.

Tsunade was only eighteen years old, prime, and confident. She was young, beautiful, and had a natural strong dominance. Moreover, she was already starting to develop… her boobies.

Sosuke had once considered pursuing her, but the huge gap in their strength made him give up.

No matter how good he was at talking, if he couldn't protect Tsunade in the future, there would be no point in them being together. 

He had no intention of becoming a useless, pretty boy who relied on her.

Danzo saw Tsunade speaking up on stage and immediately responded in a cold and sneaky voice.

"That sounds nice, but where do we have the resources to train so many medical shinobi? A true shinobi should rely on strength to win battles. Medical ninjutsu is nothing more than child's play!"

Hearing this, Tsunade became even more anxious.

"We can train them slowly if resources are tight, but we must have medical ninjas! Without them, the casualties on the battlefield will be unimaginable!"

After speaking, she turned directly to her sensei, Hiruzen Sarutobi, hoping he would support her argument.

Unfortunately, even the sensei she respected the most didn't take her side this time.

"Tsunade, your idea is good, but it's too sudden. Not only will the higher-ups reject it, but I doubt any of the Jōnin present would agree with you."

Hearing this, Tsunade quickly scanned the room. Sure enough, everyone averted their gaze, silently lowering their heads—no one was willing to stand up for her.

Sosuke watched and couldn't help but shake his head.

The current generation of shinobi was still stuck in outdated thinking, always relying on assassination and surprise attacks. 

They failed to realize that such opportunities were rare in large-scale wars between villages, and most battles were fought head-on.

In such situations, medical shinobi were absolutely crucial.

However, Sosuke knew that another shinobi, Dan Kato, would soon step up to support Tsunade. 

Even though the proposal would ultimately be rejected, that guy would end up winning Tsunade's heart!

Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Sosuke's mind:

[Ding! System successfully activated. Given the host's current situation, the system presents three starting options!]

[Option 1: Be a bystander, stay out of the plot, and avoid the story!]

[Reward: Improved Eight Gates Technique!]

[Option 2: Strongly oppose Tsunade!]

[Reward: Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.]

[Option 3: Support Tsunade earlier than Dan Kato!]

[Reward: Supreme Newbie Gift Pack!]

The sudden appearance of the system instantly made Sosuke excited. He had lived an ordinary life for eighteen years, but finally, his cheat had arrived!

'As expected, the system might be late, but it would never be absent.'

Now, Sosuke had to choose quickly from the three options because he knew Dan was about to stand up and support Tsunade.

The first option was out of the question. 

'If I didn't have a system, maybe I would have lived a lazy life, but now staying weak would be too embarrassing!'

'As for the second option? That would mean directly offending Tsunade, and definitely not something I wanted to do!'

After thinking it over, the only real choice seemed to be option three!

Besides, the first two rewards were things that already existed in the Naruto world. 

'Supreme Newbie Gift Pack might be powerful, far better than the other two!'

With that in mind, Souke didn't hesitate any longer. He quickly stood up and said…

"I support Tsunade's proposal!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have completed your starting choice. The Supreme Newbie Gift Pack! has been delivered!]

As soon as Sosuke finished speaking, the system's voice echoed in his mind!

Just as he spoke, Dan, who was about to stand up, froze in place.

At that moment, Tsunade's eyes were already filled with gratitude as she looked at Sosuke.

There was even a hint of admiration and respect, which she had never shown anyone.

Dan had initially planned to use this moment to get closer to Tsunade, but judging by the situation, that chance was completely gone.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Tsunade looked at Sosuke with deep emotion and said…

"Thank you, Sosuke!"

Tsunade had thought no one would support her, but now, she suddenly had an ally and couldn't be happier.

Danzo's expression grew even darker on stage as he saw Sosuke step forward.

"A mere Tokubetsu Jōnin—what right do you have to participate in this discussion? Your approval is meaningless!"

Danzo certainly knew who he was, but in his eyes, Sosuke was just an unimportant outsider in Konoha, someone with no real influence.

Hearing Danzo's words, Sosuke felt a surge of anger in his heart.

'Just you wait, you old bastard! You're done for once I open my Supreme Newbie Gift Pack!"

After being mocked by Danzo, Sosuke had already decided to get rid of him once he got the chance.

He knew how to be patient, but as the Princess of Konoha, Tsunade would never tolerate Danzo's arrogance.

"Danzo, don't go too far! Sosuke is still a Tokubetsu Jōnin of this village! He's contributed plenty to Konoha!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the Third Hokage quickly stepped in to calm things down.

"Alright, that's enough for today. The meeting is over—everyone, dismiss!"

Seeing her sensei handle things in this situation, Tsunade felt even more disappointed in him.

It was obvious he was taking Danzo's side.
