--------------------------------

Hidden Leaf Village.

A young figure kept swinging his wooden sword under the scorching sun, sticky sweat clinging to his eyes.

His back was already soaked with sweat.

But his focus was unprecedentedly concentrated, as if he was in a battle with someone right in front of him.

"Hah—."

Ryujiro gasped heavily, his spirit seemingly reaching its limit.

Ignoring the dirt beneath him, Ryujiro collapsed directly onto the ground.

His arms were numb and swollen, weak with fatigue.

Every day, Ryujiro would battle with the hawk-eyed figure in his spiritual space and learn his swordsmanship.

"If my strength reaches Mihawk's level, even if I'm no match for a Six Paths-level powerhouse, I'll be able to rival a Kage."

Ryujiro muttered to himself with closed eyes.

Yes, Ryujiro had arrived in the Naruto world.

Without a cool background or a bloodline, not even his parents survived the Third Shinobi World War.

Surviving on the village's compensation, Ryujiro managed to get by.

Ryujiro was a transmigrator and was familiar with everything about Naruto world.

Kage, during this period, indeed belonged to the transcendent powerhouses, but by the later stages of the world, the Kage's of the so-called Five Great Ninja Villages were all single-handedly defeated by Uchiha Madara.

Kage seemed so small in front of Uchiha Madara, let alone that at the time, Uchiha Madara was only at the level of a Kage.

Once at the level of the Six Paths, whether it was a Kage or a Hokage, the difference couldn't be measured in quantity anymore; they existed in different dimensions.

He arrived in the Naruto world and gained the Character Template System.

Unlocked the first template.

[Dracule Mihawk]

The great swordsman of the One Piece world, Ryujiro, who was familiar with anime, naturally understood how powerful Mihawk was.

His mountain-splitting and sea-splitting slashes were no less impressive than S-rank ninjutsu, and the key was that they didn't require chakra or hand seals.

A single slash was comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu.

Ryujiro rested for a while with his eyes closed before starting to control his chakra again.

The method of controlling chakra was taught to him by Iruka.

His parents who died in this world were friends of Iruka because of his reclusive nature; Iruka took care of him very well.

For someone of Ryujiro's age to be able to manipulate chakra was rare.

The kids around his age near his home couldn't compare to him at all.

To become a ninja, chakra was absolutely indispensable. Chakra was also a unique energy characteristic of the Naruto world. Only those with chakra in their bodies could perform ninjutsu.

Ryujiro condensed his chakra, concentrating it in his hands, rapidly flowing and compressing it into a pale blue spherical shape in his hands.

"Bang—" Ryujiro's Rasengan struck the tree trunk.

The trunk suddenly caved in, revealing a deep crack, and the flaw that spread from the center of the defect spread outward.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo—"

Ryujiro breathed heavily.

His body was still too weak; just using the Rasengan had drained his chakra.

He still needed to become stronger; his current strength was not enough.

The various monstrous bloodlines and abnormalities in the Naruto world were something he didn't have. The only thing he could rely on was the system and his own efforts.

As the avid watcher of Naruto series Ryujiro remembered Jiraiya teaching Naruto about Rasengan, so using the same idea Ryujiro also tried to learn it, but for him it took many months as he had no help from any teacher, so only way he could do it was by trial and error, at last he succeeded.

Ryujiro knew that in this world that was filled with beings that could easily destroy planets, he couldn't just rely on Mihawk Template to protect himself, he wanted to be ready to face and defeat powerhouses like Madara, Otsutsuki's, ten tails, etc.

And for that he would use everything available, every useful jutsu that would add up on his swordsmanship, he would learn them.

He had also learned a lot of other useful jutsu like Transformation Jutsu, Body Flicker Jutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu, etc. from the scrolls left by his parents. 

In the anime, Naruto could easily release the Rasengan because of his Uzumaki lineage, and he was also the inheritor of Asura's chakra.

And Sasuke possessed the Uchiha bloodline and later unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan, and even the Rinnegan.

Compared to these two monsters, he was far behind.

After regaining his spirit, Ryujiro gripped the sword in his hand, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

He could begin now.

In the vast spiritual world, a figure of a black-haired, hawk-eyed man stood in front of Ryujiro, with eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

At this moment, Mihawk was about the same height as Ryujiro.

The Mihawk in the spiritual space was the same age as Ryujiro, and only if Ryujiro's swordsmanship reached a certain level would the Mihawk in the spiritual space change.

This was Mihawk. Indeed extraordinary.

Although those sharp eyes were still somewhat naive, they reflected a heart yearning for swordsmanship and lofty enthusiasm.

This wasn't Ryujiro's first time fighting Mihawk in the spiritual space. 

Before this, Ryujiro and Mihawk had fought no less than ten times. Yet even so, Mihawk in the spiritual space would catch every tiny flaw and defeat him each time.

Victory or defeat was just a thought away.

Outside.

Ryujiro stood in the vast forest, gripping his sword, his expression constantly changing, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

In a short time, Ryujiro's face was covered with sweat, so much so that it was raining sweat.

A shadow flashed through the forest, curious eyes watching Ryujiro, blood-red eyes and a black pupil.

This person was undoubtedly of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Shisui looked at Ryujiro with curiosity.

What was this kid doing?

Although this forest belonged to Konoha, there were many beasts here that a child couldn't handle.

But for some reason, Shisui felt a strange feeling when he looked at Ryujiro.

The next moment!

Ryujiro trembled, his body bursting with a fierceness that belied his age, he opened his eyes, panting heavily.

Shisui, who was watching from the shadows, felt this extraordinary aura and his eyes suddenly contracted, his gaze becoming serious.

He was not simple.

This aura wasn't something that someone of his age could possess. It seemed that the village had got another exceptional talent.

A smile appeared at the corner of Shisui's mouth.

The next moment, his figure disappeared.

Ryujiro sat on the ground, panting heavily, every inch of his body aching.

The key was that at this point, his spirit had reached the edge of what he could bear, and his once resolute gaze now looked weary.

After regaining some strength, Ryujiro disappeared into the forest.

Effort was important, but blind effort would only backfire. Ryujiro wouldn't do anything that would harm his body; even training was the same.

If he exceeded his limits, Ryujiro would choose to rest.

Because of his reclusive nature, Ryujiro had few friends, and he wasn't interested in making friends with those naive kids.

He was working hard to become stronger, to control his own life and protect himself from any threats in this world.

Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara, Kaguya...

These powerful enemies were ones he would eventually face.

Watching the treetops tremble as the wind blew through, Ryujiro sighed silently.

It's windy; the village won't be too peaceful.

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Recommendation Letter

Nighttime, in the Hokage's office.

"Sandaime-sama, here are the documents for Ryujiro."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked through the documents for Ryujiro for a while.

His background seems clean.

His parents died in the Third Shinobi World War, leaving him alone at home. He often interacts with Iruka, but he's a bit solitary.

But since he received praise from Shisui, he probably isn't as simple as he appears on the surface.

The village seems peaceful, but there's potential turmoil lurking beneath. If it erupts, it would be a devastating blow to the village.

The Uchiha clan's dissatisfaction with the village is growing stronger, especially after the Nine-Tails incident that led to the Fourth Hokage's death. The Uchiha clan is currently on thin ice.

Ryujiro is old enough to enter the ninja academy.

Why not arrange for him to go? Iruka can pass on the message to him.

Just Shisui's words alone wouldn't make Hiruzen pay attention to Ryujiro. Only if Ryujiro's brilliance truly reached the Hokage's office would Hiruzen focus on him.

The matters within the village and the shinobi world are enough to give the elderly Third Hokage a headache.

"Let's hope this hard-earned peace lasts a bit longer."

Hiruzen sighed softly and continued with his administrative duties.

-------------------------------------

The next day at noon, Ryujiro woke up. Although his arms were a bit swollen, it didn't affect his training.

Moreover, his spirits were fully restored.

In yesterday's mental space battle, Ryujiro rarely broke through with a move, but he was still defeated by Mihawk.

But this battle brought him many insights.

[Character Template: Dracule Mihawk]

[Character Unlock Progress: 1.2%]

This battle alone increased the progress by 0.2%, which could indeed be considered a significant gain.

After a simple cleanup, Ryujiro planned to continue training in his old place for the day.

But as soon as he stepped out, he saw a familiar figure.

Iruka waved and smiled, "Ryujiro."

"Iruka-sensei?"

"What are you doing here?"

Iruka smiled faintly, "Just passing by to see you."

"You haven't eaten yet, let me treat you to some ramen."

Iruka was one of the few people close to Ryujiro, although Iruka always treated him like a child.

Because even though Ryujiro appeared mature, in Iruka's eyes, he was still just a child.

Ichiraku Ramen, anyone who has watched Naruto would know about Ichiraku Ramen.

And Ichiraku Ramen is accompanied by many memes. The current Ichiraku Ramen is just a small stall. Ryujiro sat there, looking at the kind old man making ramen in front of him.

This was Teuchi, whom many fans believed to be an Otsutsuki in Ryujiro's previous world.

Teuchi noticed Ryujiro's curious gaze and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

What was this kid looking at him for?

Could it be that he looked too cool making ramen?

Hehe, probably.

"Ryujiro, don't be polite, dig in."

Iruka smiled faintly.

Even though Iruka was an ordinary teacher and average ninja, Ryujiro couldn't help but feel a slight fondness towards him.

Iruka was indeed like a small sun, warming others.

After finishing the ramen, Ryujiro slowly said, "Iruka-sensei, if you have something to say, just say it, no need to beat around the bush."

Iruka's expression froze for a moment, smiling apologetically, "Indeed, nothing can escape your notice."

He had known Ryujiro for half a year now. This strange kid had a mentality different from others his age. Sometimes talking to Ryujiro felt like talking to someone his own age.

Of course, Iruka also felt that it was related to Ryujiro's experiences. Losing his parents at such a young age had forced him to mature so much.

He lacked the innocence and joy that children should have.

This made Iruka even more distressed about Ryujiro.

"Ryujiro, are you interested in entering the ninja academy?"

Iruka spoke up.

Ninja academy?

Ryujiro was stunned.

Damn it!

The time for the Ninja academy entrance exam was now!

"This is a recommendation letter from Hokage-sama."

Iruka handed the recommendation letter to Ryujiro.

Teuchi's face showed a hint of surprise.

A recommendation letter from Hokage-sama?

This kid actually caught the attention of Hokage-sama?

Even Iruka himself found it a bit strange. Last night, Hokage-sama called him to his office and handed him the recommendation letter.

Could it be that he had been in contact with Ryujiro too frequently, so he caught the attention of Hokage-sama?

Recommendation letter...

Yesterday, when he returned from the mental world to reality, he could feel someone's gaze on him, but it disappeared in a short while.

Ryujiro's perception was beyond that of a normal person, surpassing his peers by far.

After accepting the recommendation letter from Iruka, Ryujiro thanked him and disappeared from Iruka's view.

He didn't immediately reply to Iruka.

Because his time was precious, he didn't want to waste too much time on boring things. Training was his top priority.

Ryujiro entered his mental space again. After entering the system space, Ryujiro's eyes were dispersed and void, like dead eyes.

Two figures were fighting in the mental space. Although the young Mihawk looked tender, his sharp yellow eyes were captivating.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The blades collided. Ryujiro's expression wasn't very good. Although it seemed evenly matched, in the small details, Ryujiro was not as good as Mihawk.

After about two hours.

Ryujiro gasped heavily as he exited the mental space. His arms were trembling because of the prolonged training.

[Character Template: Dracule Mihawk]

[Character Unlock Progress: 1.4%]

Although it was just a 0.2% increase, each improvement was significant for Ryujiro.

Understanding of swordsmanship and sword techniques, accumulated combat experience from battle after battle in the mental world would become nourishment for Ryujiro's growth.

In addition to combat, Ryujiro also needed to improve his physical strength. To unleash powerful strikes, strong physicality was indispensable.

Push-ups, sit-ups, running around the forest ten times—these were all essential training for Ryujiro.

The day passed quickly, and before he knew it, dusk had fallen.
