"Drip..."
"Drip..."
"Drip..."
The sound of IV drips echoed continuously in the medical room filled with the smell of medicine. Xiao Yan rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on, and stared at the IV needle on the back of his hand. A look of astonishment flashed across his face, and he quickly glanced around.
The white ceiling, the pungent smell of disinfectant, and the medical staff in white coats coming and going, who looked like doctors and nurses—this scene made him pause, as if recalling the deepest memories hidden in his mind.
It was a memory of his first life, a memory from a blue planet called Earth.
"I... transmigrated again?" Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and then exclaimed in astonishment.
The scene before him reminded him of the times he was sick and went to the doctor on Earth, which made Xiao Yan extremely astonished.
After all, compared to his first life on Earth, Xiao Yan's most vivid memory was undoubtedly his magnificent life on the Dou Qi Continent!
"In the name of Emperor Yan, Xiao Yan, I command all the flames under heaven to obey my orders!"
These words suddenly flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, and a flush rose on his pale face as he murmured excitedly.
In his second life, Xiao Yan transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent, born into the Xiao family of Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire of the Northwest Continent. He rose from humble beginnings, still considered a waste until the age of fifteen.
But from the moment he met Yao Lao, his life was completely changed.
From then on, Xiao Yan cultivated the Burning Technique, devoured strange flames, broke off his engagement, avenged himself, and destroyed the Yunlan Sect. Later
, he entered the Central Plains, made a name for himself at the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament, won the Pill Tower championship, resurrected his teacher, became the young master of the Starfall Pavilion, and fought against the Soul Clan. Each of these achievements was a badge of honor on Xiao Yan's path.
It can be said that Xiao Yan walked this path with utmost care; if not for his unwavering character, strong will, and monstrous talent, he would likely have perished long ago.
Ultimately, fate did not forsake Xiao Yan. He received the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, becoming the first Dou Di in the Dou Qi Continent in a thousand years, and proclaimed himself the Flame Emperor.
After breaking through to Dou Di, Xiao Yan engaged in a final battle with the Soul Emperor, who had also advanced to Dou Di.
Although the Soul Emperor, as the patriarch of the Soul Clan, possessed profound experience as a veteran powerhouse, Xiao Yan, as the Emperor of Fire, commanded the twenty-three different flames of the Dou Qi Continent. At the cost of his physical body and the flames, he still held a significant advantage.
However, unexpectedly, at the last moment, the Soul Emperor, disregarding all martial ethics, launched a sneak attack on Xun'er, Cai Lin, and other close relatives of Xiao Yan.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan disregarded everything else. To save Xun'er and the others, he even completely burned his own soul, finally sealing and killing the Soul Emperor. However, with both his physical body and soul destroyed, even with Xiao Yan's strength, there was no way to save him, and he perished completely.
"So, I'm dead. Is this... Earth?" The carefree Xiao Yan took death in stride, muttering to himself.
After all, if he hadn't acted in time at that crucial moment, Xun'er and Cai Lin would have been in mortal danger—something Xiao Yan absolutely could not tolerate.
Even at his own expense, Xiao Yan would never allow his family to be harmed.
This had always been his guiding principle.
"Hiss..."
Just as Xiao Yan was worrying about the situation of Xun'er and Cai Lin after his death, a flood of memories suddenly surged into his mind.
A large amount of unfamiliar memories kept coming in, and even with Xiao Yan's resolute character, he felt his vision blur and his head throb.
After a long while, the pain gradually subsided, and Xiao Yan finally came to his senses, wiping the cold sweat from his brow as he recalled the unfamiliar memories in his mind.
Perhaps because the soul of his second life, the Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, was too powerful, his soul had been dormant since the beginning of this third rebirth. Only now, after encountering some unexpected circumstances, had his soul fully awakened and come to understand the situation of this life.
"Konoha Village, the Third Hokage, chakra, genin Xiao Yan..."
Xiao Yan murmured, recalling the memories of his third life and gazing at the snow-white ceiling above.
Perhaps by coincidence, Xiao Yan's name remained unchanged in his third life; he was still called Xiao Yan.
The third-life Xiao Yan was fourteen years old this year, born into an ordinary commoner family in Konoha Village. His parents died one after another when he was six or seven years old, making him an orphan.
"Not Earth, and not the Dou Qi Continent either..."
After gradually understanding the world environment of his third life through the fragmented memories in his mind, Xiao Yan murmured.
This was a world without magic, and even more so, a world where Dou Qi had not been developed to its peak. Instead, it was a different world from Earth, where a unique energy called chakra existed.
In this other world, some powerful individuals with immense chakra can even take on ten thousand men single-handedly, posing a formidable threat to thousands.
This reminded Xiao Yan of the Dou Huang powerhouses of the Dou Qi Continent.
In the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Huang powerhouses held high positions and were highly respected even by the royal family because each Dou Huang powerhouse possessed the strength to rival an entire army, capable of taking on ten thousand men single-handedly.
However, while those capable of taking on ten thousand men single-handedly were called Dou Huang powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent, in this world, those with such strength were the 'Kage' of the various ninja villages, the so-called Kage-level powerhouses.
"Hokage, Konoha Village, chakra, could this be... the world of Naruto!?"
Carefully searching through his memories of his third life, Xiao Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering something from a hidden corner of his memory. Even with his composure, his pupils constricted slightly, and he was shocked.
It's important to know that Xiao Yan's first incarnation came from the Blue Star, China. Before transmigrating, he had lived through the millennium, a time when Japanese anime was extremely popular, with Naruto being one of them.
Therefore, Xiao Yan was no stranger to this globally popular anime; he had even watched two hundred episodes in one summer.
However, his experiences in the Dou Qi Continent in his second life were so rich and the amount of information so vast that he had almost forgotten his memories of his first life on Blue Star, and only a few fragments remained of his memories of Naruto.
If it weren't for the chakra energy and the peculiar nature of the Konoha village genin, Xiao Yan probably wouldn't have been able to connect it to Naruto at all.
So, Xiao Yan frantically searched his mind for the remaining memories of Naruto from his first life, and then compared them with his memories from his third life.
After a while, when the memories of his third life and the remaining memories of Naruto perfectly merged, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and then he sighed softly, a bitter smile on his face.
"I never thought that I, the mighty Flame Emperor of the Dou Qi Continent, would actually transmigrate to the Naruto world..."
