Wait... I'm a Summoning Beast?!

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: I’m a National Treasure

“You mean… God, you’re telling me… I’m going to be transmigrated into the world of Naruto?!”

“Of course~ It’s the final slot in our cross-dimensional relocation promo! Act fast, don’t miss it~!”

“Awesome! Thank you! Oh, right—could I get a cheat code? Maybe… a system?”

“No problem~ Comes with a bonus status screen too~”

“So will I be reincarnated as a civilian’s kid? Or a ninja’s? I’d prefer to be born into a great clan—you know, for the natural talent boost…”

“Uh… let’s just say your talent will be outstanding… Okay, enough questions, no time to waste—off you go!”

———

Somewhere deep in a bamboo forest, Mojo stopped refining his Sage Chakra.

He plopped down onto a stump, grabbed a bamboo stalk he’d prepared earlier, and shoved it into his mouth.

Crunch. Crunch. He gnawed away like a champ, clearly enjoying every bite.

Once he’d polished off an entire heap of bamboo, he rubbed his round, furry belly and let out a long sigh:

“Unbelievable… Just eating plants and no meat, and I still got this fat…”

At this moment, he was massive, black-and-white, and unmistakably—

A giant panda.

Ten years ago, when he first arrived in this world, he was utterly dumbfounded.

“GOD?! You turned me into a panda?!”

【(snickering) Yes. Host is currently a six-month-old panda cub.】

“System? You must be my system, right?!”

【(cool voice) You know too much, host. (BANG)】

“Hey hey hey?! What’s going on here?!

“I came to the Naruto world to become a ninja!

“Why the hell am I a panda…? Wait, are there even pandas in the Naruto universe?”

【(dead serious) Host now belongs to the Iron-Eater Beast race, classified as a summoning species. As for whether pandas exist in this world… there was a regular panda in the opening scene of Boruto.】

“…You’ve got to be kidding me. There are pandas?!”

Mojo stared at his chubby paws, then looked around.

Sunlight streamed through thick bamboo leaves. On the rocks and grassy slopes at the edge of the grove, dozens of fluffy black-and-white fuzzballs lounged lazily, sunbathing without a care in the world.

Glancing back at his own short, pudgy limbs, Mojo could only accept reality.

So THAT’S why God didn’t give me a straight answer about being born to a civilian or ninja family…

Turns out I wasn’t either—I was born a damn summon beast!

After a long period of existential confusion, Mojo finally came to terms with it:

Fine. Panda it is. It’s not like I can’t become human later!

He remembered the White Snake Sage from Ryūchi Cave—didn’t she basically turn into a sexy snake lady? If they could take human form, why couldn’t he?

All he need is Sage Mode. He will get there eventually.

And so, he threw himself into harsh Sage Chakra training, taking the road no panda had ever taken before.
