For the first time Kazuya felt that his life was very unlucky, as he felt that he had just made an unplanned transmigration.
When he had just closed his eyes and boom, he found himself already in another place, to be precise he was in the middle of a battle, some emitting fire, and some others emitting lightning.
Kazuya was completely confused as to how he got here, at that moment a memory came to his mind.
His head felt like it was swarmed by insects, a few seconds passed and the memory had fully entered his brain.
Based on that memory, Kazuya had fully learnt that he had transmigrated into the body of a Kusagakure ninja who was currently helping Konoha fight against the Kumogakure Shinobi army.
The original Kazuya died while fighting against the kumogakure ninja and the soul of the earth kazuya entered the body of the original kazuya in his place.
It was as simple as that, there was no soul struggle or soul unification.
In the midst of resolving his confusion, kazuya found himself right in front of a damn monster that was ten times the size of a sperm whale, and not enough, the monster seemed to be about to spit something out of its mouth.
"I'm probably the transmigrator with the quickest death, right?" he thought.
Just as he was beginning to resign himself to his situation, a golden card suddenly appeared in his mind.
Ding~!
Congratulations on acquiring a gold card!
'Is this the legendary golden finger that appears on every transmigrant?' he thought.
He quickly opened the gold card with his mind and the information on the card appeared.
[Death is not the end]
Gold rank
When you are killed, you can copy one enemy skill, and you will be resurrected twenty-four hours before death occurs.
*PS. Be wise in choosing death
"..."
He paused looking at the card.
'Doesn't this require me to be a masochist'
After Kazuya finished reading the information on the card, suddenly his sight was covered by a purplish-black ball.
"Wai-"
BOOM--!!!
Before his words were finished, his body was already crushed by the explosion, and his sight became very bright and instantly turned dark and silent.
Ding~!
You are dead
Please choose a skill
The next moment he found himself in a dark place filled with cards.
The cards had one gold, two silver and several bronze colours.
"I thought I was the shortest-lived transmigrator in history" he muttered as he looked at the row of cards in front of him.
"It seems that the gold rank skill I just acquired is working properly" he said, and started to approach the row of cards.
Kazuya looked at the cards that only showed the back, then he tried to look at the front.
However, the card seemed to have its own programme to display the back of the card.
Feeling that doing so was a waste of time, Kazuya thoughtlessly took the most valuable card, the gold coloured card and flipped it over.
Ding~!
You have chosen the skill
[I am not an evil octopus]
Gold rank
Gyuki is a huge pool of chakra. The sage of six paths divides the tail of ten into nine parts and gyuki is the eighth tail of the nine tailed monster. You can use gyuki's chakra freely and can communicate with it.
*PS. Gyuki is not a bull, although its head is a bull.
Card selection is complete
Rewinding time twenty-four hours before death.
With the last notification Kazuya's vision immediately changed, he found himself in the middle of the forest, and he saw several people looking at him.
"What are you guys looking at!?"
"We must prepare now, we must move quickly to Konoha's camp in the hot homeland."
A man said in a stern voice. This man was a daichi, a former chunin of the Hidden Grass. Yes that's right kazuya and these people are not official ninja of the Hidden Grass, but defectors from the Hidden Grass and the original kazuya was a genin who crossed paths with the daichi's group while they were fleeing the village. The daichi at that time persuaded kazuya to join their group, which kazuya agreed to without thinking.
After the Second Shinobi World War ended, the relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha was very tense. Due to Kusagakure's geographical location directly adjacent to the two villages, there was a split between the Kusa village leadership.
One side supported the iwa village while the other supported an alliance with the Konoha village, and a schism arose that resulted in a civil war.
Kazuya and his group were victims of the split, unable to see a future in the Hidden Grass they defected.
Shortly after, the third Shinobi world war broke out.
Kazuya and the others had no jobs, meaning they were unemployed, until they got a mission from the black market in the land of fire.
The mission was a mercenary force mission given by Konoha to the black market due to the lack of troops on Konoha's side. And the kazuya group took the mission.
This was their current situation, so they had to move quickly to the land of hot water.
Kazuya who knew that tomorrow they would die while fighting the kumogakure, felt that following them towards the land of hot springs would only harm him.
Because kazuya is just an average genin from a small village, he will only waste his life, if he follows them. Although he now has a gold rank skill, he still has many flaws.
'Speaking of gold rank skills'
ROAR--!!!
"Bastard boy get me out of here!"
Suddenly a horrible beast roar sounded in kazuya's mind. He immediately focused his mind with the sound and found himself in a dark place, in front of him was a strange bull-headed octopus monster.
Kazuya was stunned for a moment at the size of the monster and tried to calm himself down.
"Hello"
Kazuya tried to greet the monster or gyuki, but gyuki ignored kazuya's greeting and immediately attacked him with one of his tails.
He immediately panicked and tried to defend using his hands. But the expected damage did not occur, gyuki's tail passed through kazuya's body like a mirage.
Seeing that his attack could not destroy the insect in front of him, gyuki waved several of his tails in succession. Still the insect in front of him was not destroyed, kazuya was like an eternal cockroach.
Desperate. Gyuki condensed chakra in front of his bull's mouth, and formed a bijuu dama.
Kazuya saw that purple-black ball, he couldn't help but feel Dejavu. Instantly Gyuki shot the bijuu dama to the location where Kazuya was.
BOOM--!!!
The explosion was so dazzling, kazuya closed his eyes tightly.
"Hmph--that's what you get for messing with me kid"
Gyuki snorted and noticed whether the insect in front of her had evaporated or not.
But disappointment, frustration and annoyance appeared on Gyuki's bull face. Because kazuya still stood in front of him calmly, not even a wrinkle was visible on his clothes.
"Alright, are you done venting your emotions?"
Kazuya asked calmly without a hint of annoyance on his face. From those few attacks, Kazuya had already concluded. Every skill he copied would not be able to inflict any harm on him, and this made him very eager to kill himself with his enemies' attacks in the future.
"Hmph"
Gyuki snorted in annoyance. Meanwhile, Kazuya still took the initiative to communicate with Gyuki.
"I'll be honest with you, we will be stuck together forever starting from today"
"You won't be able to escape me, and I won't be able to escape you, because you are the eight tail cloned by my skills. So don't waste your energy to maintain this tension"
Kazuya explained calmly, that they would eventually have to live together from now on, like a married couple.
However, Gyuki who had listened to Kazuya's explanation could not remain calm. Because he had just been cloned and transferred to a new jinchuriki without warning.
Gyuki still couldn't believe kazuya's explanation, so he could only snort in annoyance.
Seeing that the monster was silent, kazuya could only sigh resignedly.
"I guess you don't believe what I'm saying! But you see, you have to believe it in the end"
"Well then, goodbye!"
"Hmph"
Gyuki saw the boy slowly disappear from in front of her.
Meanwhile, Kazuya had come out of his mindscape and his group members were still looking at him like a fool.
Because they saw kazuya fell silent and spoke for a moment, then fell silent again like crazy.
"Hey! Let's pack up quickly, we have to move as soon as possible"
Daichi urged kazuya and the others to pack up as soon as possible. However, Kazuya who had decided not to join this group immediately replied.
"I'm quitting this mission"
"What do you mean!?"
Daichi asked in surprise, because he was really confused by kazuya's words, because he knew that the mission was a mission that promised a lot of money, and they couldn't waste it just because of this fool's words.
"I'm going to quit this mission! I feel that if we continue this mission, we will really die! So I'm quitting here"
"But we're already halfway through the mission!"
"You guys can continue without me, we'll split up here, I'm going back to the land of fire"
"As you wish! Let's leave this fool!"
They quickly packed up and left Kazuya alone, after all, Kazuya's strength didn't really affect the performance of their team.
Even without Kazuya they would still be able to complete this mission perfectly.
Kazuya smiled at the departure of the stupid group, because tomorrow they would die in an explosion by the eight-tailed bijuu dama or jinchuriki kumo killer bee.
Kazuya watched them slowly disappear. After that he also began to move towards the land of fire, he needed to find a quiet place to understand his current strength and think about many things for his future in this Naruto world.
