Stepping Up Is Not My Cup Chapter 1

There were many stars in the sky, and a bright white moon was hanging high in the sky. The watery moonlight penetrated the thin clouds and sprinkled on the earth.

A white jade belt flows quietly between the endless forests on the earth. It flows past a village built on the mountain. Three slightly old-fashioned and solemn portraits are looking at the village below the mountain.

On both sides of a long stone-paved street in the village, a few scattered shops were still open, with lights on the doors and windows, and occasional drunken shouts could be heard.

In a remote place far away from the city, behind a deep wood, there is an old-style elegant Japanese-style mansion consisting of three rooms, surrounded by a vine-covered fence.

The two-sloped roof and the gabled structure are bathed in moonlight, elegant and tranquil.

The breeze is blowing, the wind chimes are shaking, the sound is light and graceful...

The gentle evening breeze blew by, accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, intoxicating the night. The silvery moonlight flowed on the wooden corridor and shone into the bedroom through the window.

There was a small figure lying on the small bed in the bedroom. The quilt that was supposed to cover the body was kicked aside. If you look closely, it is a very pretty and cute little face, with a little baby fat.

From his constantly trembling eyelids and the quilt that was kicked off, it can be seen that he did not sleep well.

"ah..."

A terrified roar came from inside the room, and almost simultaneously there were the sounds of footsteps and the sound of a door opening.

"Aiden Uchiha! Are you okay..."

After hearing the voice, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked into the room immediately!

At this moment, he was holding the little figure on the bed in his arms, one hand around the head and the other on the back, patting gently, as if coaxing a child.

"I'm fine, Mika-san!"

Being held in someone's arms like a child, even if that person is a kind and beautiful girl, as a man who is already over 30 years old mentally, there is still an inexplicable "shyness"!

Ignoring the child's struggle, the girl rested her chin on the child's forehead. With one hand, she held the child's body tighter, and with the other hand, she continued to pat the child's back, as if this could alleviate the child's fear and panic.

"Having a nightmare again?"

"Um..."

After struggling for several times in vain, the child gave up reluctantly, and smelled the scent wafting from the girl's body, a mixture of shower gel and the body fragrance peculiar to her age. The child named "Dong Shilang" was now slowly calming down from his nervous mood caused by the dream just now.

Seeing the child in his arms calm down, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a surge of pity for him.

The child in her arms was the fruit of the eldest sister and the elite of the clan, and should have grown up healthily under the care of her parents. But four years ago, when her sister had been pregnant for less than half a year, her brother-in-law died in a mission.

The elder sister fell seriously ill after giving birth, and was depressed for the rest of her life. She died when her child was just four years old. Many elders in the clan sighed and lamented that this might be the fate of ninjas.

"I'm really fine, Mika-san. I don't even remember the dream I just had!"

Seeing that the child did not seem to be lying, the girl put the child back on the bed, helped to cover the quilt again, and gave the child a gentle smile.

"Do you need me to sleep with you, Dong Shilang? With me here, I believe Dong Shilang will never have nightmares again!"

"No need, Mika-san! I'm really fine! I can't remember the dream I just had!"

After hearing this answer and looking at the child's dark eyes, the girl turned around and slowly left the room with relief.

As the girl turned around, the family crest on the back of her coat was revealed to the child.

"It's Uchiha!" He sighed softly in his heart. With the sound of the door closing, the bedroom fell into silence, and the child's thoughts gradually drifted away.

As a modern man over 30, he crossed the single-plank bridge with untold hardships. In his early 20s, he left the ivory tower and ventured into society. His experience can be said to be quite impressive.

Just when I had entered the golden years of my life and was preparing to make great achievements, I inadvertently returned to this strange yet familiar world.

He still has a deep impression of "Naruto", the anime that has run through his youth.

But what's with the name "Toshiro"? Shouldn't he be a character from the "Bleach"? How did he end up in Naruto? The most important thing is that the surname "Uchiha" is dangerous.

Thinking about the dream just now, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he forget it! He had a deep impression of that figure, and he was just comforting the other person just now.

A white figure stood in the sky, facing the full moon with his hands in a seal. The corners of his mouth drew an exaggerated arc, as if he was laughing happily for fulfilling his dream of many years, or as if he was feeling compassion for having cut off all the karma in the world.

"Light up the world, infinite moon reading!"

You are right, the nightmare I just had was the scene when Madara performed the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" during the Fourth Ninja World War.

I dreamed of an orange-haired guy floating above the village yesterday, muttering to himself, "A bag of rice has to be carried to several floors! A bag of rice has to be carried to the second floor!"

And the day before yesterday I had a dream of a short man wearing an Anbu uniform and carrying a katana, squatting on a telephone pole at the intersection in front of my house.

"Oh! I can't live like this!" Sighing silently again, the four-year-old boy named "Uchiha Toshiro" didn't know what to do for a moment.

"I just hope that as my memories merge, these dreams that pop up from time to time will slowly disappear!"

This wave of time travel seems a little wrong! Others who travel through time either have a golden finger, a grandfather with them, or have various systems to rely on.

How come there is nothing here? I am afraid I am wearing fake clothes or I am wearing the wrong clothes for the set!

It's fine if he's not the owner of the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto in "Bleach". Why did he end up in "Naruto"? And he's in the "Uchiha" series, where almost all the members died before the game started.

"Hey! Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. We can only take it one step at a time."

As my thoughts continued to wander, it didn’t take long before I slowly fell into a dream. I just hope I won’t have that nightmare again!
