Reincarnation into the world of Naruto with the system

Yes, how foolish I was, I realized when a squad of shinobi from another village jumped out of THOSE VERY UNLUCKY BUSHES at me.

New Mission!

Hold out until reinforcements arrive and rescue two cuties! This is your first and last chance to improve relations with the dying... the great Uchiha clan! Hurry up!

Accept the mission?

Yes/No

I didn't bother reading all the conditions and details; I just glanced at the gist. Then I checked the time... three minutes of holding out against enemy shinobi alone? Especially when I wasn't even at genin level yet, only roughly matching a second-year academy student with no clan. I was doomed! Which meant I had to accept! No doubt, there's something canon Naruto-like about me.

When I threw the kunai... oh, I was incredibly lucky to find that training ground... and ended up with a week-long bout of hiccups and a solid dose of paranoia. All because that equipment was lying in front of a stone with an eerie inscription carved into it, miraculously preserved through time: "Madarator was here!"

If the Madara of this world was truly linked to the System and acted as its moderator, I was finished—Kaguya wouldn't even get the chance to kill me. And even if that wasn't the case, it still meant another reincarnator had wandered around here.

So, when I threw the kunai, they finally noticed me. The squad leader casually signaled to his teammate, who easily caught my kunai, threw it back, and rushed toward me. Wow, they weren't even underestimating a kid! Monsters!

Ooh, minus sixty HP, they hit my leg, the parasites, and I managed to react and dodge. Damn, the kunai was fast, the initial impulse was probably pretty strong. I took the kick from the unknown shinobi on my crossed arms, listening to the nasty crunch in them. It doesn't look like a fracture, but they've already started to swell - a crack, definitely. And it's not even about the enemy's strength, but about the children's bones. Although, if you damage them now, they'll be stronger later! 

For the logic of a masochist, this skill has been increased by +5 levels. 

Well, at least the pain has decreased a little. But still, my system is nasty! 

I roll to the side, unstuck from the tree where I was hit, not paying attention to my sore back, and try to reach the enemy with my fist. For the first time in the fight, he allowed himself a condescending smile, and did not back away. However, he didn't just accept the fist on the carcass, and instead hit my fist with his own.

I was dragged along the ground a little, my arm hurt as if it had been stuffed with hot needles, my HP dropped significantly, a quarter as if it had never happened! But I was pleased by my opponent's response howl. He clearly hadn't strengthened his body with chakra enough, if he had strengthened it at all, and I had pumped up my "Strong Fists" quite well. It came in handy after all. It's a pity he wouldn't fall for this trick a second time, but while the enemy was distracted by the deepest shock, it's not every day that you get beat up by a brat, and the pain, I threw the remaining kunai.

I aimed for the head - hit between the legs. I'm no sniper. But at least one enemy out of five was definitely taken out of the fight.

- Not bad. And for a child, even great. - It sounded from behind. I raise my head and, as expected, see another enemy shinobi standing behind me.

I'll never forget that kick in the ass! It seems that on the tree I flew into, even a slight imprint of some part of my body remained. Well, or I'm exaggerating because of the "interference" dancing before my eyes. It was very painful.

- Let's go. We don't have much time. - He said. Well, that's a shame, I still have a little less than half my HP. That's what the buff from the food I ate before coming here does! Didn't I tell you that I expected any dirty trick? So I raised my health regeneration in the System's natural way.

Throw three shurikens, stick an explosion tag on the handle of the kunai that entered one place of the first enemy... I'm afraid now he will definitely never be a man, and rush to the second.

The only damage that went through the enemies was the explosion tag on the invalid. We dodged the shurikens, but they still managed to hit one of the bags. From where one of the mission targets fell. A black-haired girl my age, with two pigtails, now tied up and gagged.

But the one I was rushing at from behind calmly turned around and punched me in the head, driving me into the ground. Judging by the girl's fuss on the ground, she was conscious... I noted as I fell.

- What a resilient child. It's a pity you can't find any like her in our village, otherwise I would be calm for the younger generation. What are you standing there for? Put this one in another bag and let's continue! - the squad leader began to command, but stopped short when I grabbed his leg. At least for a few more seconds, but I'll win.

The next second, I was gripped by his thirst for murder.

- You better let go! - he drawled unkindly.

Yes, I myself am not against it. But my fingers have literally gone numb! You should reduce your thirst for blood, otherwise I can't even breathe every other time! So now I am not being a hero, and I haven't pissed myself yet only because my bladder has also been twisted into one terrible squiggle, and it doesn't want to relax. Not particularly heroic, but true!

- Wham! - I got a kick in the carcass, but my fingers, bound as if by chains, with fear, still did not unclench.

- Wham! - My vision darkened, and it never completely cleared up.

- Wham! - but, judging by the new blow, I still didn't unclench my fingers. Damn, how much HP do I have left? I can't even focus on the indicator.

- Help! - I don't know how, but the little thing got rid of the gag, judging by the child's scream.

An inscription popped into my head.

Due to changes in the course of the event, I have ten seconds left to hold out until reinforcements arrive!

- Bang!

- Shut up... and fuck! - Well, now my hearing is "that". Unclench your fingers already! Never mind the event, don't expose me to a restart from the very beginning!

- Bang!

And I can't even use the other seals, my hands don't obey, one is broken, the second one is living its own life.

The countdown is over!

At the same time, screams and explosions were heard, and my consciousness went out. Ah, if only it wasn't all over again! Although, now I at least know what to do, and I will start developing from the very beginning. Which is also not bad!
