Slap! Slap!
He slapped his face a few times, forcefully bringing himself back from his daydream.
“Can't get carried away. I need to stay calm,”
Chen Yue thought about Uchiha Madara, whose heart was ripped out, and the sealed ancestor, Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Even those as powerful as them could be overturned, let alone him, a three-year-old child.
“Innate talent only gives me a better foundation, but to live better in this cruel world, I must work harder and be more vigilant.”
Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Yue reflected inwardly.
Speaking of which, he was very pleased with the cute appearance of the child in the mirror.
Soft black short hair, clear black and white eyes, a baby-faced white and round face…
In terms of appearance, one could only say that it was no wonder he was from the Uchiha clan. Although he was only a child under four years old, so the most appropriate words to describe him were cute and adorable. But with the speed of development of ninjas in this world, he would soon be able to be described with terms like “handsome” and “beautiful,” right?
It's just that this soft straight hair is really rebellious, not at all like the classic spiky hair of those famous Uchihas.
However, in his own aesthetic view, soft straight hair is indeed more attractive than spiky hair, or rather more suitable for him.
Knock Knock Knock—
Just as Chen Yue was admiring himself, a knock came from outside the room.
“Master Chen Yue, it's lunchtime. Time to eat.”
The voice of a maid came from outside the door.
“Yes, I know, I'll be right there.”
Putting down the mirror, the little boy who was just being narcissistic quickly got up and walked towards the door.
Unexpectedly, time passed so quickly when his mind was wandering. It was already lunchtime.
“Thank you for your hard work, Yuko-san!”
When he walked out of the room, the first thing he saw was the maid waiting by the side.
She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pretty and lovely appearance, wearing a black kimono with a white apron over it, indicating her identity as a maid.
Her name was Yuko, and she was one of Grandma Uchiha Aya's maids.
Since Chen Yue was raised by his grandmother, Yuko was assigned to him to take care of his daily life.
As for why the Uchiha clan would have maids?
The reason is simple, it’s because the world Chen Yue travelled to was not exactly the same as the world he learned about from comics and animations in his previous life.
He was also very surprised when he first discovered this.
And the reason he started to realize something was wrong was because of the maids around him.
After all, in his memory, the Uchiha clan, unlike the Hyuga clan, another Kekkei Genkai family in Konoha, didn't seem to have any maids.
Even Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, didn't seem to have servants around him. But the Uchiha clan in this world was clearly different.
As he observed more carefully, an even more surprising discovery came to light - there were no electrical appliances in the house he lived in.
There was no refrigerator, no light bulbs, no washing machine, and he didn't even see any wires.
If he remembered correctly, the early technology in Naruto, although not as developed as in Boruto, still had basic electrical appliances.
What was going on?
Once doubts arose, more inconsistencies kept appearing, like meals. Although there was milk, it was all fresh milk, there was no packaged milk, and the building he lived in was a quaint, old-fashioned one.
Since there were many ancient buildings in the Naruto world, especially in the big families, he hadn't found it strange. But after starting to sense something was wrong, he realized that the building he lived in was truly just a traditional ancient building, not an imitation ancient building with a traditional exterior but modern technology inside.
Could it be that the world he travelled to wasn't the Naruto world of comics and animations, but a Naruto parallel world with similar settings?
This question lingered until he learned more about this world, especially after receiving basic education and learning about some of the history of this world, did he finally get his answer.
Yes, just as he had guessed before, this place was indeed not entirely the Naruto world of the animations and comics, but a Naruto parallel world with an ancient background.
As the name suggests, it was a Naruto world with no technological products, no electricity and appliances, a background that was almost like the Warring States Period of Japan, but with chakra and ninjas as extraordinary powers.
Of course, considering the presence of chakra and ninjas, the real standard of living would undoubtedly be much higher, but that would probably only be accessible to a small number of people, while the vast majority of ordinary people would likely live and produce at a level comparable to the Warring States period of Japan.
At first, Chen Yue was completely at a loss.
Foreknowledge of the future and understanding of the plot were crucial trump cards for a transmigrator, but in this world with a different background, would his previous knowledge of the plot still be useful?
Fortunately, Chen Yue was a person who could adapt to reality. Since this was the truth, he could only adapt to this world.
Moreover, this Naruto world with a backward level of technology and feudal ideology didn’t seem like a bad thing for him.
First, his knowledge of the plot hadn't completely disappeared.
From what he learned from his grandmother, Uchiha Aya, some of the historical information about the establishment of Konoha revealed that, although some of the details were different, the general outline was still the same, such as the Uchiha clan and Senju clan uniting to end the Warring States period, establishing Konoha and initiating the system of country and village.
In other words, even though the time background and technological development were different, the general outline of the Naruto plot didn’t change much.
In this case, if only some details are different, then the impact on his advantage as a transmigrator with prior knowledge is insignificant.
Because the content displayed in the original comics or animations, when placed in a real world, would inevitably appear one-sided and incomplete.
Not to mention, the original work has a lot of blurry and conflicting settings, so it's impossible to rely on those details to see a real world.
Secondly, backward technology and feudal ideology, for him, who came from a noble Uchiha family, did not seem to be a bad thing, but rather a good thing.
Without technological mutations, then as a natural bloodline nobleman, wouldn't his advantage be even greater?
In short, he quickly accepted this Naruto world with backward technology and feudal ideology after the initial shock and discomfort.
Moreover, as time passed, he would increasingly realize that this kind of Naruto world was truly the best for him.
