Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

In the 49th year of Konoha, in a forest on the border of the Land of Fire.

Kumamoto Ran-hide leaned against a large tree, listlessly licking his left hand...

Or rather, the left palm.

"Sigh, I haven't eaten for days again..."

Luanxiu complained inwardly.

Despite the fact that he hadn't eaten for several days, Luanxiu could only complain in his heart, not because he didn't want to curse out loud.

Rather, it's because...

He simply cannot speak human language!

That's right. A month ago, Luanxiu, after hitting a lucky break, transmigrated to the world of Naruto.

Logically speaking, being transported to the Naruto world is unlucky enough.

In this world, without a super-powerful Deep Blue, it's virtually impossible for a transmigrator to survive safely.

To make matters worse, Luanxiu discovers that he has transmigrated into the body of a black bear.

"God! Just kill me!"

Upon learning that he had been mistakenly reborn into the animal realm, Kumamoto Ranhide looked up to the sky and howled in grief and indignation.

However, Ranxiu didn't hear the famous quote he had just uttered.

Instead, a deep, powerful howl was heard:

"Oh my god, oh my god—"

The next second, the birds in the woods were so frightened by the roar that they all flew out of the forest in a flurry...

There's no way around it; the black bear's language system only has this one sentence...

A few days later, Luan Xiucai finally accepted his new identity.

He had no choice but to make his home in the woods where he lived.

Becoming a black bear comes with many inconveniences.

On one hand, Luanxiu had to adapt to her new body and many of its subconscious habits.

For example, Luanxiu's sense of smell and hearing became unusually sensitive.

He could even smell the scent of some kind of liquid that small animals had marked on tree trunks from a great distance.

For example, when he's bored, Luanxiu likes to lick his left palm and occasionally scratch his butt with his right palm...

On the other hand, Luanxiu began to face both mental and physical pressures to survive.

Mental stress is boredom; random displays of entertainment deprive one of all the means of entertainment that come with being human.

Now he desperately hopes that a brown bear named Xiong Er will spawn in the forest to keep him company, or that a short, bald man will spawn to keep him company.

The physical stress is easier to understand...

That is, it randomly shows off and goes out to find food.

Although black bears are almost at the top of the food chain.

But in this day and age, it's really not that easy to survive.

Several years ago, the Third Shinobi World War broke out, and civilians and pedestrians on this road almost disappeared. Those who entered and exited this forest were only ninja spies or mission teams from various countries.

This is a huge blow to the black bears that live by smuggling Japanese goods in the vicinity.

Without humans as delicious snacks...

Then you can only catch small things like rabbits and insects in the woods to fill your teeth.

"Oh ho ho ho... (Sigh, I want to eat people...)"

Luanxiu patted her belly and sighed.

Just then, Luanxiu suddenly smelled a somewhat familiar scent.

"Um?"

Sniff...

Luanxiu sniffed hard a few times.

"A Konoha ninja?!"

Ranshu's keen sense of smell confirmed that the scent came from a Konoha ninja.

Each village's ninjas have their own unique scent.

For example, the ninjas of Kirigakure in the Land of Water usually have a slight sea smell, while the big bosses of Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning have a stronger body odor.

The ninjas from Konoha smell a bit better, but their scents are relatively more diverse.

Some people smell exactly like their dogs, while others carry the same aroma of food, which, upon closer inspection, likely comes from the same brand of ramen.

During that chaotic show, I also encountered a girl wearing a red and white bandage outfit passing by, and she smelled quite sweet...

Regardless, Ranshu was quite certain that Konoha ninjas had entered the forest.

It's unwise to confront a ninja directly; you might just get killed on the spot.

So Luanxiu got up and quickly climbed up the big tree next to him.

A dozen seconds later, a thin Konoha ninja arrived at the scene.

"Huff huff..."

The ninja was panting heavily, one hand covering the wound on his left shoulder, looking as if he had been seriously injured.

He struggled to sit down under the big tree, then shakily pulled out a roll of bandages and began to bandage his wounds.

"What... a wounded soldier just passed by..."

Luanxiu, who was perched in the tree, could see it clearly.

This thin ninja wearing a Konoha headband must be a scout.

But for some reason, he got injured and hid in this forest to rest.

Ranshu's eyes widened as he stared at the skinny ninja sitting below...

You should know that even though Luanxiu is a tough black bear, he really hasn't eaten anything proper for more than half a month!

He had already searched the forest thoroughly for honey and caught almost all the rabbits he could find.

But right now there happens to be a human who has almost lost his fighting ability...

What this means for a starving black bear couldn't be clearer!

"Gurgle..."

Luanxiu's belly cooperated by making a urging sound.

There's nothing I can do; I forget which novel it was from, but survival is the most important thing.

Animals' lives matter too. It's one thing for people to eat animals, but what's wrong with a black bear eating two Japanese people?

"Well, sorry buddy, but what bear doesn't eat people? If it didn't eat people, would it still be called a bear?!"

"I'm sorry I was born a bear!"

Kumamoto Ranshu made up his mind, then looked at the ninja under his buttocks and jumped straight down.

How much does a black bear weigh?

Luanxiu didn't know, Luanxiu only knew that it was definitely enough to kill someone with a single stomp.

"Gah—"

A scream echoed through the woods.

The birds that hadn't been scared away by the wild roar were now completely terrified by this scream...

Luanxiu felt like he was sitting on a puddle of mud.

"Feeling good, how's it going, bro?"

Thinking this, Luanxiu looked down at the area under her buttocks.

The ninjas there were no longer human...

"Hmm, thank goodness, thank goodness..."

Luanxiu nodded.

Then, Ranxiu stood up and carefully examined the food that was about to be served.

The dead ninja looked very thin, but at this point, there wasn't much left to choose from.

"Oh ho ho ho! (Thank you for nature's bounty!)"

Ranxiu clasped his hands together with a snap, made a few gestures towards the sky, and then bowed slightly towards the ninja's corpse.

"Ohohoho! (I'm starting to eat!)"

Luanxiu let out a low, indistinct growl.

Suddenly, just as Luanxiu was about to show off, he noticed a conspicuous pattern on the arm of the ninja's shirt.

A pattern resembling a red pool paddle...

"Hmm? Someone from the Uchiha clan?"

Randomly, he recognized that the billiard racket was the crest of the Uchiha clan of Konoha.

Unexpectedly, nature bestowed upon Luanxiu a scion of a prestigious family!

"this……"

"I can't tell right now, brother, between you and the future Uchiha Shisui, who was the one in your Uchiha clan who died the most pathetic death..."

Random thoughts.
