Chapter 1: Me, Fighting Kaguya?

  "Where is this?"

  Before my eyes stretched an endless mountain range, dotted with colossal, ring-shaped craters as if struck by meteors or nuclear bombs. Only a towering tree stood at the center of this ndscape, its immense trunk piercing the sky like a pilr.

  Besides this, three figures floated in mid-air, cd in white robes, their appearances bizarre.

  One held a staff, another had six bck orbs hovering behind him, and the st was a woman with rabbit ears, three eyes, and snow-white hair that trailed longer than her body.

  Where was this pce?

  And who were they?

  Uchiha Kage only remembered returning home from the Leaf Vilge Ninja Academy and then taking a short nap.

  Then, inexplicably, he found himself here.

  Was he dreaming?

  [Enter this instance?]

  Instance?

  Faced with this sudden text prompt in his mind, Uchiha Kage steadied himself.

  Only then did he realize that the strange scene and the three odd figures were all frozen in pce.

  As if time itself had been stopped.

  "Wait, these three look suspiciously like the legendary Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo, and his mother, Kaguya, and his brother, Hamura?"

  Could this instance be—sending me back to the time of their great battle?

  But my current strength is only that of a Genin. How am I supposed to clear an instance of this scale?

  And I don't even know what the rewards are. What if I die in the instance and die in reality too?

  I finally transmigrated to the Leaf Vilge, finally managed to keep my little life, and haven't even started enjoying it yet. I can't just kick the bucket like this.

  [No penalties for death in the instance]

  Just as Uchiha Kage was thinking this, another text prompt appeared in his mind.

  No penalties? No real death?

  Then maybe I can give it a try.

  [Instance entry selected. Current instance is a multipyer instance. Select two companions to enter with you. Select companions?]

  Companions?

  Uchiha Kage examined the light screen that suddenly appeared before him, finding only two familiar figures: Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

  "Feels a bit like a game."

  Whether it was a dream or a real transmigration into a game, Uchiha Kage decided to give it a shot.

  [Companions confirmed. Entering instance in three seconds]

  Three, two, one...

  After a brief moment of disorientation, the ground began to tremble, and the three figures in the sky, including the towering tree, began to move.

  "Where is this pce?"

  "Sasuke? Kage? Why are you two here? Am I dreaming?"

  Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, who had transmigrated here with Uchiha Kage, were now staring in disbelief at everything before them.

  "I don't know either. Maybe we're dreaming."

  So the companions I chose are real people?

  Looking at Naruto and Sasuke, who were just like they were at the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Kage muttered to himself while pretending to know nothing.

  [Task: Help Kaguya escape the fate of being sealed by Hagoromo and Hamura]

  This task?

  Me, fighting the Sage of Six Paths? Seriously?

  Uchiha Kage looked at Naruto and Sasuke beside him, one who hadn't even learned Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, the other who couldn't even use Chidori yet.

  If this setup could take on the Sage of Six Paths, he'd eat his hat.

  "A task? Kaguya? Is that the strange but beautiful dy over there? Hmph, what kind of men bully a woman! I'm coming to save you, miss!"

  Naruto seemed to have seen the task too, and after a quick assessment of the situation, he rushed forward.

  "Hey..."

  Uchiha Kage was still wondering if there was a way to complete the task with strategy and what the rewards were when he saw the "childhood Kizaru" beside him charge forward.

  "That idiot."

  Sasuke was calmly analyzing the situation, but unfortunately, no amount of analysis could help with this absurd scenario.

  He could only curse the reckless Naruto in his mind.

  Boom...

  The towering tree rose from the ground, transforming into a massive Ten-Tails monster.

  The light orbs spat out by the monster caused devastating explosions when they hit the ground.

  The three figures in the sky also activated their "Gundam modes," one donning Susanoo, the other with hair that nearly blotted out the sky.

  Boom!

  The attacks casually unleashed by the three and the beast left ring-shaped craters across the ndscape, like nuclear explosions.

  "H-how can there be such powerful people, like monsters... This must be a dream!"

  Naruto, who had only rushed halfway, saw this terrifying scene and immediately colpsed to the ground, his legs weak and his heart trembling.

  "Stop running around. Let's find a pce to hide first."

  Uchiha Kage wanted to retort, "You'll be able to do that too someday," but held back.

  "W-what's that!?"

  Before Naruto could crawl back to the two young Uchihas, a massive shadow suddenly appeared above them.

  Pnetary Devastation!

  That's the Sage of Six Paths' technique...

  Just as Uchiha Kage realized this, he heard several sharp whistling sounds pass by his ears.

  It was the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball!

  Boom!

  In the blinding explosion, Uchiha Kage didn't even have time to utter a final word before his vision went bck, and he, Naruto, and Sasuke were reduced to dust.

  [Task failed]

  [Instance reward: Ninja Fragment x2]

  [Re-enter instance?]

  When he opened his eyes again, Uchiha Kage found himself in a street that resembled the Leaf Vilge.

  But the streets were deserted, without a single soul or sound.

  "Is this the Leaf Vilge or somewhere else?"

  Am I still dreaming?

  Uchiha Kage walked curiously along the street while examining the Ninja Fragments in his hand.

  This is getting more and more like a game.

  [Fuse?]

  Looking at the two Ninja Fragments representing Naruto and Sasuke, another message appeared in Uchiha Kage's mind.

  Did Naruto and Sasuke really die in the previous instance? That's why there are fragments...

  No, no, that shouldn't be the case.

  I didn't die, so they should be fine too.

  Uchiha Kage reassured himself and chose to absorb the fragments.

  "Ugh... I feel like my chakra has increased a lot, and my eyes..."

  His Sharingan, which had been unable to activate for various reasons, seemed to be recovering.

  "If this isn't a dream..."

  Is this a cheat?

  Uchiha Kage excitedly looked at his hands.

  "What's this?"

  Coming back to his senses, Uchiha Kage realized that he had unknowingly walked to the front of the Hokage Building.

  "Could this really be the Leaf Vilge?"

  [Action points: 1/2. Spend one action point to enter the scene?]

  Uchiha Kage curiously pushed the door of the Hokage Building and saw this prompt.

  Action Points?

  It seems there are only two points in total, and now there's only one left. It looks like entering the instance earlier also cost one point.

  Uchiha Kage selected "yes" and pushed open the door.
