1. A Little Girl

A pink-haired loli sat silently by the river, gazing at her reflection on the water's surface.

The face reflected in the river was quite adorable, with a delicate nose, small mouth, exquisite features, and fair skin.

Especially those emerald green eyes, clear and shiny like gemstones.

The green eyes paired with cherry pink hair made her look like a delicate doll.

The loli had been sitting here for a long time.

Even after a month, she couldn't believe the fact that had been set in stone.

He was a 1.85-meter tall asian man.

She is now a 1.19-meter cute loli.

Damn it, they are the same person!!!

Is this some kind of joke!!!

In her previous life, she just used the character Sakura from the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, and the opponent's substitute summoned a big move with a combo skill.


She liked playing as Sakura, but she didn't want to become Sakura, damn it!

Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but feel sorrow welling up inside her.

She picked up a stone beside her and hurled it fiercely into the river.

With a plop, ripples spread across the river's surface, then gradually calmed down, reflecting Sakura's face once again.

As if mocking her incompetence.

"Sakura!" A distant call came from the father of this body.

Sakura looked towards the sound and saw a man with a starfish-like hairstyle waving at her from a bridge not far away.

Haruno Kizashi, Sakura's father.

"Coming..."

Sakura responded weakly, then stood up and slowly walked towards Haruno Kizashi.

"Sakura, don't go to the river alone next time. What if you fall into the water?"

Haruno Kizashi looked at his daughter with her dead-fish eyes and spoke earnestly.


"But if Dad is here, that's a different story. After all, Dad can solve everything!"

Changing his tone, Haruno Kizashi patted his chest with a proud expression.


"......"

Looking at the man with the ridiculous starfish hairstyle, Haruno Sakura pursed her lips and sighed weakly:
"...Yes."

"By the way, Sakura seems to be in low spirits lately?"
"...Yes."

"Is it because you haven't been sleeping well at night?"
"...Yes."

"Then should Dad sing you a lullaby at night?"
"...Yes."

!!!

"Absolutely not!"

Sakura, realizing belatedly, immediately refused.

"Hahaha, that's the cheerful Sakura I know!"

"You've been listless these days, and Mom is really worried."

Haruno Kizashi looked at his almost jumping daughter and laughed, patting Sakura's head.

Sakura looked at the man laughing heartily and pouted.

So, she had unintentionally worried them...

Looking at her delicate, fair little hands, Haruno Sakura sighed inwardly.

Feeling a bit melancholy, she gazed at the sunset on the horizon.

Goodbye, my little brother...

Goodbye, my 'happiness'...

"Mom made Sakura's favorite dumplings for dinner."

Seeing his daughter's melancholic expression, Haruno Kizashi quickly made various funny faces at Haruno Sakura, trying to cheer her up.

Watching the man clumsily trying to make her laugh, Haruno Sakura pursed her lips and took his hand.

"Then let's hurry home, so Mom doesn't wait too long."

"Alright!"

"By the way, Sakura, want a piggyback ride? Sitting on Dad's broad shoulders will let you see further!"

Haruno Kizashi patted his not-so-broad shoulders and struck a few funny poses to show off his strength.

"No."

Haruno Sakura refused expressionlessly.

"Ah? Why not?"

Haruno Kizashi turned gray and looked utterly dejected.

Seeing the man like this, Haruno Sakura had every reason to suspect he was a doting father.


The father and daughter walked along the riverbank in the twilight towards home.

Glancing at the man beside her, a hint of helplessness flashed in her emerald eyes.

What's past is past...

But if they think she'll be a pushover and marry someone, absolutely not!

No way!

As they passed a riverbank, a small figure caught Haruno Sakura's eye.

It seemed to be a child around Sakura's age, with spiky golden hair, wearing a white short-sleeve shirt with a red swirl pattern.

It's him...

Haruno Sakura glanced at the protagonist, but her mood was too low to bother with him.

"That child..."

"Sakura, you should stay away from that child. He's an ominous sign."

After distancing themselves from the spiky-haired blond, Haruno Kizashi's voice rang out.

Sakura looked up in surprise.

"If something happens to Sakura, Mom and Dad would be very worried."

Seeing the serious look on his face, Haruno Sakura instinctively retorted:
"But he's just a kid like me, isn't he?"

"If he were really an ominous sign, the Hokage wouldn't let him stay in the village."

"It's just a rumor."

Haruno Sakura shook her head.

Seeing her daughter speak like this, Haruno Kizashi didn't argue but pondered for a moment:
"Sakura is very kind."

"But more than whether it's a rumor, Dad just doesn't want Sakura to get hurt."

Haruno Sakura didn’t say much, just perfunctorily responded with an “I know.”

After all, this cheap father meant well, and she couldn’t say much more about it.

That night, the pink-haired loli snuggled alone in her blanket, gazing at the starry sky through the window.

She could feel her meager chakra slowly gathering at her forehead, and this process was almost entirely passive.

Whenever there was excess chakra, it would automatically flow to the center of her forehead, not wasting a single bit.

Burying her face in the blanket, Haruno Sakura felt a headache coming on.

This was probably her cheat ability from transmigrating…

The Yin Seal: Strength of a Hundred Technique.

But if the Yin Seal formed before she turned twelve and became Tsunade’s apprentice, how the hell was she supposed to explain this?!

And why did she have to like playing as Sakura?!

Wouldn’t playing as Momoshiki or Kinshiki Otsutsuki be stronger than Sakura?!

Damn it!

As she looked at the stars in the sky, her emerald-green eyes shimmered with emotion.

She had to find a way to rationalize the existence of the Yin Seal…

But how the hell was she supposed to do that?

Her brain was about to explode…

A mere six-year-old kid actually having the Yin Seal?

She’d definitely be dragged in for questioning by Konoha’s interrogation squad.

And then subjected to 108 rounds of torture…

Suddenly, the pink-haired loli sat up in bed.

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes.

Study hard! Improve every day!

Become a genius talented enough to earn the favor of Konoha’s higher-ups, and then find a way to obtain the training method for the Yin Seal!

Damn it, I’ve reincarnated as a girl, and I still have to study hard!
