Kitazawa's grades at the Ninja Academy had always been mediocre. Uchiha Itachi graduated at seven; he barely scraped through at thirteen. Uzumaki Naruto became the savior of the ninja world at seventeen; at that same age, Kitazawa was still struggling to make Chunin. In this harsh world of shinobi, Kitazawa was what people called a fodder ninja: no talent, no bloodline, and no backing. To stay alive until the story's grand finale, he'd chosen the safest path-teaching at the Ninja Academy, a job he'd held for five years. "Another peaceful day in Konoha." Kitazawa rose from his seat and walked to the window. It was enrollment day again, and the training grounds were buzzing with life. He glanced down at the stack of new student files in his hands. Names leapt out at him, all too familiar: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Hinata, Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno, Akimichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru, Inuzuka Kiba... and more. 'DING' 'Host has reached age six and successfully enrolled in the Ninja Academy.' 'Activating the Strongest Shinobi System.'

At an Uchiha clan meeting, the radical faction and the conservative faction were locked in endless argument, while the moderate Fugaku Uchiha stood between them, trying to smooth things over. At that moment, Jin Uchiha strode into the hall and declared loudly, "A clan divided into three factions... Is this not a betrayal of our ancestors?" "From today onward, the Uchiha clan needs only one voice." "And that voice will be mine." "I have said my piece... Who agrees? Who objects?" ... On the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, Danzo led the Root shinobi to surround the Uchiha compound. A Root shinobi shouted, "By order of the Hokage, the Uchiha clan is to remain within the compound tonight and is forbidden from leaving!" Jin Uchiha stepped through the crowd and sneered. "The order you are following..." ----

What do you do when you travel into the Naruto world with no special bloodline, no famous master, and no cheat codes? Kaeda Arashi gives the ultimate answer. By using his knowledge of the plot, modern military strategy, and advanced technology, he wins the complete trust of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, and becomes his chief advisor. However, Kaeda does not believe in the "Will of Fire," nor does he care about the toxic villagers of the Leaf. He took this high position entirely for his own selfish desires. When the villagers get angry because the village refuses to sacrifice a Hyuga clan member to appease the Cloud Village, Kaeda lays out his true philosophy to his bodyguard, Uchiha Shisui: "My goal isn't to protect the Leaf. It's to make these villagers believe the Leaf is being protected." Originally, Kaeda just wanted to live a comfortable life and didn't care about changing the world. But somehow, everything he does goes hilariously wrong: He wants power, so the Third Hokage gets sidelined. He wants to eliminate his enemies, so Danzo gets completely ruined. He wants to use the Uchiha as tools, so the Uchiha clan avoids their massacre night entirely. He wants to keep forbidden jutsu chaotic to justify his power, so Orochimaru gets arrested before he can even start human experiments. Why is everything accidentally turning into a perfect happy ending?! "Wait, Minato... what do you mean I have to be the Fifth Hokage?!"
