Mission Issuing
Main Mission: Become the Leader of the Four Delinquents
Mission Description: Although the host has started to rise in the Ninja Academy by defeating Uzumaki Naruto, the attention of teachers and classmates is still not on the host. Defeating the tail-end is not enough; the host decides to target the Four Delinquents. Defeat Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Uzumaki Naruto (already completed), and Inuzuka Kiba to elevate the host's status and dominate the Ninja Academy!
Mission Hint: This mission is a main mission, cannot be refused, and cannot be avoided.

Mission Issuing
Side Mission: Childhood Sweetheart
Mission Description: School days wouldn't be complete without elements of romance. Even Uchiha Sasuke is loved by many female classmates, and the tail-end Naruto is liked by the esteemed Hyuga Hinata. The host, aspiring to become the king of the Ninja Academy, refuses to be outdone and decides to choose a female classmate as a romantic interest. The mission will be completed if the chosen female classmate develops significant affection for the host.
Side missions are optional, the host can choose to accept or reject. Failure carries no penalty, success will grant rewards.
Side Mission Reward: Glamour Technique (Regardless of gender, everyone loves beauty. This technique allows the host to maintain optimal appearance, free from the negative effects of gray hair, wrinkles, dirt, etc.)
A series of system notifications flooded Gensou's mind.
Relaxing in a hot spring bath at an inn, Gensou pulled off the towel covering his face, opened his eyes, and looked at the white steam surrounding him, raising an eyebrow.
"I was just wondering why the system was silent. Didn't expect new missions to come, and two at once."
Gensou reviewed the missions in his mind.
The first main mission was nothing special.
Since it was about dominating the Ninja Academy, defeating Uzumaki Naruto and then taking on other notable students like Nara Shikamaru and others was a logical progression.
But the side mission...
"A reward for completion, no penalty for failure, seems pretty good. But the mission content..."
Developing romantic feelings with a girl about ten years old?
System, what were you thinking?
Instinctively wanting to reject it, Gensou hesitated when he saw the reward, a technique related to maintaining his appearance.
Always mindful of his appearance, Gensou's eyes gleamed.
"Ahem... Unlike the main mission, the side mission's reward is clear from the start. Its significance is worth considering."
"Since there's no penalty for failure. I might as well give it a shot..."
With a serious demeanor, Gensou accepted the side mission in his mind and stood up.
Splash~ Scalding hot spring water quickly slid off his perfectly proportioned body.
But when the steam cleared, his body, supposedly flawless, was riddled with scars.
The most severe was a deep cavity in his chest, large enough to fit half a fist.
Such injuries would have been fatal for an ordinary person.
Gensou could move freely and had even been quite active before, thanks to his strong physique and secret techniques to suppress the injuries.
However, this was just a temporary fix.
Inspecting his body, Gensou noted that although the surface wounds had healed and new flesh was growing, deeper injuries persisted.
Especially the Sage Chakra left by Hashirama.
Due to the forbidden technique "Eternal Slumber" preserving his vitality, this Sage Chakra, which should have been removable, had fused with his body over decades, making it extremely difficult to eradicate.
"Sage techniques..."
Gensou touched the prominent scar on his chest, recalling Hashirama in Sage Mode, descending with unmatched power.
He understood the power of Sage techniques.
During the Warring States Period, he had sought the Three Great Sacred Places, but their locations remained elusive.
Creating a unique Sage technique without any references was as challenging as perfecting the Kekkei Genkai.
Focused on his Kekkei Genkai research, Gensou lacked the time and energy to create a Sage technique from scratch.
If it were easy, the Three Great Sacred Places wouldn't be the only ones with Sage techniques, which weren't even suited for humans.
Moreover, Sage techniques required specific qualifications that very few possessed.
In the Warring States Period, only Hashirama mastered Sage techniques.
Creating a Sage technique?
Gensou didn't believe that Hashirama, with his Ashura reincarnation and Wood Release, had developed it himself.
It was most likely learned from Shikkotsu Forest.
Since the Warring States Period, only a handful of people, including Jiraiya, Naruto, and Kabuto, had learned Sage techniques.
Minato Namikaze had also learned it, but not enough to be effective.
So, over a millennium, very few humans mastered Sage techniques.
Gensou wasn't sure if he'd get the chance to learn it.
He was wary of the three ancient beings in the Three Great Sacred Places, who had witnessed Kaguya's conflict and Infinite Tsukuyomi, and only groomed contractors like Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
Instead of forcefully seizing it, he hoped the system would provide it later.
For now, Gensou, unable to fully understand Sage techniques, found it difficult to remove the persistent and destructive Sage Chakra left by Hashirama.
"Perhaps I should seek out medical ninjutsu information," Gensou thought as he dressed.
Thanks to Tsunade's establishment of the Konoha medical system, other villages had followed suit, making medical ninjutsu far more advanced than in the Warring States Period or the early village era.
Even Orochimaru, whose arms were sealed, believed Tsunade could heal him, indicating the high level of modern medical ninjutsu.
Times are always progressing.
Technology evolves, and so does ninjutsu.
The idea that "modern people are inferior to ancient ones" is a fallacy.
Sharing this belief, Gensou left the hot spring, quickly formulating a plan.
