Chapter 1: The Great Love Immortal Achievement System
It was the white season again.
Fluffy snowflakes draped the forest in a thick silver coat, much like the rice balls eaten in the morning.
But Hinata Hyuga no longer felt the novelty she once did. She glanced around anxiously.
It was her first time being allowed to leave the Hyuga clan, and in such snowy weather. It should have been joyful, so why had she gotten lost?
Where was her father?
Where was Tokuma?
Where was she?
Huh?
Hinata raised her head in surprise.
Not far away, on the snowy ground, three tall boys were playing in the snow.
Instinctively, she walked toward them.
"Look! A little kid!"
"Her eyes are white? So ugly!"
"White-eyed freak!"
The three boys quickly surrounded Hinata.
They scrutinized her, laughing menacingly.
Hinata was so scared she nearly fainted, her body frozen in place, her small face turning pale.
Her white eyes misted over with tears, and her trembling hands clutched her scarf tightly.
"She's about to cry little pearls!"
"Are her tears white too?"
"Cry! Cry already!"
Not only did the boys show no sympathy, but they grew even more aggressive.
"Move, Hinata!"
Hinata desperately wanted to react, but in reality, her limbs felt powerless, and even breathing became difficult.
"Stop making noise, I'm thinking."
A calm voice made the three boys pause.
They looked up to see a boy their age sitting on a tree branch.
He wore a tight white coat, bundled up warmly, with sunglasses covering half his face.
"Hey, what's with the cool act?"
"Nosy little brat!"
"Get down here!"
The three kids shouted in annoyance.
Their ferocious grins made Hinata's heart race.
The next moment, she saw a flash of moonlight.
It fell from the sky like a scythe.
So beautiful.
But how could there be moonlight?
Hinata stared in a daze as blood sprayed upward, her white eyes widening.
The three boys screamed.
Faint blood marks appeared on their faces.
"Aaah!"
Terrified, the boys shouted, "Don't come near us!" as they stumbled and fled the scene.
The boy with sunglasses—or rather, Shigi Aburame—jumped down.
As he touched the ground, a bronze glow appeared at his feet.
He landed steadily.
"Only when the tide crashes against the rocks can it create beautiful waves."
Shigi looked at the pale-faced Hinata and said, "Next time, don't think—just swing."
He reached out, grabbed her scarf, and wrapped it around her neck, bundling her up snugly.
With her slightly chubby cheeks, she looked even more adorable.
Hinata was still in a daze, letting him do as he pleased.
"Stay here and don't move. You'll be home soon."
Shigi ruffled her hair with a faint smile.
W-What did he mean?
Hinata felt her senses returning, her face regaining some color.
She tilted her head, her expression confused.
Shigi didn't explain. He turned, hands in his pockets, and walked deeper into the forest.
Hinata was the young lady of the Hyuga clan. As long as she didn't wander off, her escorts would find her soon.
He still had things he needed to do.
Shigi strolled through the snow.
What he had just used wasn't a ninja technique—it was the Moonlight Gu.
Without a doubt, he was a transmigrator.
In his previous life, he was a young man earning 3,200 yuan a month, always laughing cheerfully as a chosen worker.
After a busy day, he opened the Naruto mobile game, instantly picking Kizaru, or rather, Kurama Naruto.
After enjoying the thrill of basic attacks, he started reading a Gu Master novel.
When he woke up, he had transmigrated to a new world.
Good news: He had both parents and wasn't an orphan.
Bad news: It was the world of Naruto.
The legendary five-star jonin Orochimaru once said, "Hokage? Even a dog wouldn't want that job."
In this dangerous world where bloodlines reigned supreme, Shigi had no special lineage.
He was the son of Shibi Aburame, the head of the Aburame clan, and had a younger brother named Shino Aburame.
How to put it?
Reaching the peak of life was impossible unless he had bloodline limits like the Sharingan or Byakugan.
Since he couldn't climb the mountain, he decided to lie flat.
But then, he gained the Great Love Immortal Achievement System.
Each time he completed an achievement, he would receive a Gu.
Shigi Aburame
Achievements Unlocked: I Won the Reincarnation Race, Farming Suits Me Best
Gu Possessed: Healing Touch Gu, Moonlight Gu
Healing Touch Gu: Rank 5 Gu, grants the strongest medical ninja talent.
Moonlight Gu: Rank _PWM1 Gu, can unleash moonblade attacks and has multiple advancement paths.
The first achievement was earned when he transmigrated—or rather, was born.
The second was gained by planting Moon Orchid flowers.
Gu were powered by True Essence.
True Essence was the source of a Gu Master's power, a condensation of life force, spirit, and vitality.
In the ninja world, it was akin to chakra, but different.
True Essence also contained the energy of heaven and earth.
In the ninja world, this "heaven and earth energy" referred to natural energy.
Natural energy combined with chakra created the more powerful sage chakra.
Shigi's current True Essence could be considered a super-weakened version of sage chakra.
With True Essence, he was already comparable to a genin.
But as everyone knew, the gap between Konoha genin could sometimes be greater than the gap between a human and a dog.
He was just an average genin.
Half a minute later, a wooden house surrounded by earthen walls came into Shigi's view.
This small forest was within the Aburame clan's territory.
As the clan head's son, he had free rein to use it.
Shigi stopped.
He had noticed a little tagalong.
Turning around, he saw Hinata sneaking behind a tree, her small head peeking out.
When their eyes met, she immediately showed a timid expression.
So cute.
Shigi waved her over.
Hinata hesitated for a few seconds before walking up to him.
She kept her head down, too shy to look up, looking utterly obedient.
Just as Shigi was about to speak, a sound came from her stomach.
Hinata's face flushed red, and she lowered her head even further.
She was genuinely hungry.
For some reason, her appetite far exceeded that of others.
But as the young lady of the Hyuga clan, she had to maintain proper etiquette.
She always ate the same amount as her mother, which meant she was never full.
"Come in," Shigi said. "Follow me carefully—don't step on any traps."
Hinata nodded vigorously.
She safely entered the small courtyard.
Before her eyes was a patch of blue-pink flowers.
The petals were crescent-shaped, shimmering with a soft, pearl-like glow.
"So beautiful!" Hinata blurted out.
"I planted them. They're called Moon Orchids," Shigi said, lifting his chin slightly.
Moon Orchids were food for the Moonlight Gu.
Besides True Essence, Gu needed to be fed specific foods regularly.
If the food was plants, the system would provide mysterious seeds.
"…?"
Hinata's small face showed curiosity and confusion.
Planting flowers?
He could plant flowers at such a young age?
Was he a ninja from the Yamanaka clan?
"Come in."
Shigi opened the wooden house.
Hinata hurriedly trotted forward, then abruptly stopped, her bangs swaying.
She looked around the room.
Compared to her family's grand mansion, this place was strikingly simple.
It served as a bedroom, kitchen, and living room all at once.
"Tonktosu ramen."
Before long, Shigi placed a bowl of noodles in front of her.
He kept emergency food here, like ramen.
"T-Thank you…" Hinata's voice was soft, like cotton candy.
Shigi looked at her, and text appeared in his vision.
