Konoha Ninja Academy.
A group of examinees waited outside.
Inside, a black-haired boy was taking the exam. The Third Hokage and several ninja academy teachers observed and scored him.
In the arena, he skillfully performed each exam item.
Not long after.
"Taijutsu, excellent."
"Shadow Clone Technique, excellent."
"Transformation Technique..."
"Overall excellent."
Above, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing the Hokage hat, announced the scores one by one, then stood up, picked up a headband, and walked towards the students below.
He handed the headband to him.
"After the school's review, you are allowed to graduate early. Ryōmine Kyohiko, from today onwards, you are a Genin."
"Yes! Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
Kyohiko respectfully accepted it, inwardly sighing—
after more than a year of transmigrating and tireless efforts, he had finally reached the threshold for early graduation.
Almost at the same time, a voice rang out.
[Congratulations on successfully becoming Hokage. The Naruto System will serve you wholeheartedly.]
? ?
? That voice?
A system?
Damn it!
"I transmigrated over a year ago, trained like crazy for a whole year, and only arrived after I graduated early?"
He was both surprised and delighted.
According to his predecessor's memories, Ryōmine Kyohiko's ancestors were members of the Senju clan. Later, the First Hokage advocated intermarriage within the village, and they separated from the clan.
He was the third generation.
However,
his grandmother didn't have any special physique or bloodline limit, and his parents were quite ordinary, at most a bit healthier. Unfortunately, they died on the battlefield in the Land of Rain.
Kyohiko was even more ordinary, with no apparent special qualities.
Therefore,
after transmigrating, he realized that only by working hard and striving like Guy could he possibly survive in the cruel ninja world.
Unexpectedly,
today, he awakened a system...
"Wait? The Hokage System? What does this mean? I'm not the Hokage!"
Kyohiko was completely bewildered. He glanced down at his headband, then looked up at the straw hat on Hiruzen Sarutobi's head.
I didn't even become Hokage!
"Kyohiko, put on your ninja headband."
"Yes!"
Kyohiko snapped out of his daze.
He tied the headband to his head, and then—
another notification sounded.
[Gaining the trust of others is an essential ability for a Hokage.]
[By personally putting a headband on a graduating Genin, you have gained their full trust.]
[Reward: Body Flicker Technique upgraded by 1 level]
Huh?
After confirming he wasn't hallucinating, Kyohiko was deeply shocked.
Full trust…
Putting a headband on myself and still getting a windfall—is the system stupid?!
He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
This system…
it's probably tailor-made for "Hokage," but whether it chose the wrong person or the wrong timing, it ended up on a mere Genin like him.
However, he was still in the examination hall; he had to remain calm!
Kyohiko composed himself and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
This gratitude was genuine.
"Haha, I believe in you, good luck!"
Hiruzen patted Kyohiko on the shoulder.
Then, he started calling roll, calling the next person in.
Kyohiko went out, seeing familiar and unfamiliar faces walk by, and couldn't help but sigh—
in a decade or so, only a few of these people would truly stand out.
The ninja world is cruel.
Without bloodline limits and secret techniques, progress is impossible!
Over the past dozen months, Kyohiko had come to understand all too well how difficult life was for ordinary people. He
worked hard, struggled.
But no matter what, he only had a better foundation, meeting the standard for early graduation, and couldn't compare to Kakashi, who had already graduated.
Normally, Guy would be his best role model.
Fortunately, he now belonged to a clan with advantages, and having graduated early, he had plenty of time to train and become stronger.
You can't learn anything profound in school!
The Naruto System.
Although the process was bizarre, the result was good.
Leaving the examination hall, Kyohiko tried a few commands, finally summoning a seemingly illusory panel using the "panel."
...
[Name: Ryōmine Kyohiko]
[Age: 7]
[Bloodline Limit]: None
[Skills]:
Transformation Technique (Proficient),
Clone Technique (Proficient),
Substitution Technique (Master),
Body Flicker Technique (Master)
...
Master-level Body Flicker Technique!
Kyohiko suppressed his shock and excitement.
According to the system's ranking, ninjutsu proficiency is divided into five levels: Beginner, Proficient, Master, and Grandmaster.
Body Flicker Technique and Substitution Technique were the two ninjutsu he spent the most time on, without exception.
However,
in the past six months, his Body Flicker Technique hadn't improved at all.
But now,
various insights into Body Flicker Technique surfaced in his mind.
"So that's how it is. Master-level Body Flicker Technique involves more refined and subtle use of muscles, strength, and chakra."
Subtle application of force.
This is the difference between Master and Grandmaster.
Kyohiko had a sudden realization.
This sudden enlightenment was miraculous, as if he had practiced thousands of times and could now easily use a "master-level" Body Flicker Technique.
"If I relied on my own training, it would probably take at least several years to reach the master level of Body Flicker Technique."
"Truly powerful!"
"Then..."
"The problem now is, how to maximize the use of the system."
Without a bloodline limit or secret techniques, Kyohiko's best hope of defying fate and not becoming just another ordinary person in the Ninja World War was the system before him.
All that had happened before proved that it was just a rigid program with a lot of room for manipulation.
If he were the Hokage, what would he do?
Kyohiko's mind raced.
The reward he received before was...
to win people's hearts, balance the power within the village, and make the village stronger and more prosperous.
To contribute in war.
To handle the village's daily affairs and missions.
Kyohiko summarized a few points.
As a Genin, the other points were simply impossible for him to accomplish; right now, all he could do was win people's hearts and carry out missions.
Kyohiko pondered, then—
stepping out of the school gate, he began practicing his master-level Body Flicker Technique.
Meticulous control.
Muscles, chakra…
Then.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Kyohiko's figure flashed, and the next moment he was at another point on the street.
"So fast!"
"Even though my physique hasn't improved, the effect of using Body Flicker Technique is two or three times better than before!"
A fiery glint flashed in Kyohiko's eyes.
If even a master-level technique is like this, if he could reach "Grandmaster," wouldn't he be unstoppable?
However.
He could feel that although this ability had become integrated into himself, in actual use, his eyesight and awareness hadn't yet adapted to the increased speed, leading to errors in judging distance and speed.
Practice!
Kyohiko ran towards his usual training spot in the suburbs, speeding along at lightning speed.
But.
As he ran past a bathhouse…
"Hmm?"
A white-haired man turned his head and looked outside.
Then, he saw a young man rushing past.
Such speed!
Such Body Flicker Technique…
who is this?
He immediately became interested, but hesitated for a moment, glancing at the situation inside the hall, before finally turning back and chasing after Kyohiko.
