When I opened my eyes, I was an orphan on the battlefield at the end of the Warring States Period, with the cold blade of Senju Tobirama at my side. When Hashirama and Madara made peace, and the blueprint of Konoha was laid out in the smoke of war, I, a "consultant" with memories from another world, became the silent cornerstone of the ninja village with my blueprints and vision.

From the heroic spirit of the First Hokage to Madara's betrayal, from the rise of the Sannin to Orochimaru's betrayal, from the Nine-Tails Rebellion to the dust of the Fourth War... For ninety years, I witnessed Konoha's rise from nothing, from a seedling to a towering giant. I participated in its construction, mediated crises, and promoted change, leaving a small but profound mark on the wheel of history. When Boruto's time arrived, I put down my blueprints and closed my eyes peacefully before the waterfall of the Valley of the End. There is only one line of words on the tombstone:

**"A homesick stranger once took root under a giant tree."**

This is the story of the time traveler Toru Kazama, an ordinary epic about a man who truly lived, loved, and struggled in the Naruto world, and ultimately returned to dust.

My son was born to be a superior person. There is no need to go far to become a ninja. Even the strongest Hokage in the ninja world would not dare to act rashly..." Filial son: "Are you... sure?" Kind mother: "A family that cuts ice does not raise cattle and sheep! If you are on the same level as a ninja, you will lose the big picture for the sake of the small!" The father and son were speechless when they heard this! Many years later, the filial son said to his parents: "What you said is not true. I will prove it to you [Fan Yitong]

This is a dark-themed book, not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. The author is not a fan of Itachi, and it's a slow-burn story. The author does not recommend it to readers who prefer wish-fulfillment novels.

There's a reason why the perceived coolness of mythical beasts fluctuates so much. Please read patiently; any errors pointed out will be corrected by the author...
