Konoha Year 54.
Yagyu Family, inside a dojo.
"957, 958, 959... 997, 998, 999—1000!"
*Ding!* "You have completed the daily task [Swing the sword 1000 times]. Reward: 0.02% experience."
[Your inheritance 'Hawkeye' Dracule Mihawk template has been unlocked to 0.7%.]
"Hoo..."
Dusk has arrived, and Yagyu Yusuke, a six-year-old child, finishes several hours of training. With his young arms gripping the bamboo sword, they have become sore and weak.
Taking a deep breath, Yagyu drops the bamboo sword and sits cross-legged on the spot.
As his sweat-drenched eyelids slowly close, the surroundings begin to transform.
In his spiritual world, a sharp-eyed child with swept-back hair appears, practicing basic sword techniques.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, tirelessly honing his swordsmanship day after day.
The child's efforts were not in vain; during his childhood, he had already defeated more than ten kids of the same age.
However, this was just 0.7% of the time in the yellow-eyed child's life dedicated to 'swordsmanship.'
While a long time passed in the spiritual world, in reality, it was only an instant.
The scene finally freezes on the yellow-eyed child, victorious over another same-aged child.
Yagyu's spirit returns to reality.
Opening his eyes, a gleam of determination flashes through his red irises, dispelling his fatigue.
At this moment, his understanding of 'swordsmanship' deepens by another level.
It feels as if he has synchronized with the experiences of that yellow-eyed child from countless spring and summer seasons in the spiritual world.
"Impressive for the world's greatest swordsman. Unlocking only 0.7% already grants such rich experience," Yagyu murmurs softly. Suddenly, he stands up and picks up the bamboo sword, executing basic sword techniques.
His figure moves swiftly and gracefully, displaying seamless and precise movements as if guided by a renowned teacher through long hours of diligent practice.
However, only Yagyu knows that he has only been exposed to swordsmanship for 35 days, with no actual instruction.
All of this stems from the 'Template System' within his body.
That's right!
Yagyu is a traveler from another world.
His previous self was named Yusuke Yagyu.
His father was a special Jonin in the village, who perished during the Nine-Tails attack.
His mother passed away when he was five years old due to grief over his father's death.
Since then, his cheerful and adorable personality changed, and he became withdrawn, spending his days at home until he eventually starved to death. That's when Yagyu took over his body.
He transformed from a 21-year-old youth into a five-year-old child and discovered that he was in the world of Naruto. Yagyu's first year passed aimlessly.
Discovering that he was the same age as the protagonist, with a humble background and no bloodline limit, he felt utter despair.
In this era of peace, eleven years later, the Fourth Great Ninja War would begin, with countless powerful and prominent characters making appearances. As an ordinary person without a bloodline limit, what difference could he make compared to cannon fodder?
Not to mention that before the Fourth Great Ninja War, Konoha would also experience the events of the "Fall of Konoha" and "Pain's Assault." Yagyu might not even have the chance to become cannon fodder in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
He initially thought he might have some kind of cheat or advantage, but after an ordinary year, Yagyu lost all hope.
Perhaps sensing complete darkness, the first ray of dawn finally appeared.
In an accidental brawl that left him heavily injured, Yagyu activated the system he had immersed himself in for a year.
The Ultimate Inheritance System!
He randomly gains the inheritance of a super powerhouse and unlocks their complete power through a progressive system.
At present, the only way to unlock these powers is by completing the daily tasks issued by the system.
After each completion, Yagyu gains 0.02% experience.
After more than a month of understanding, Yagyu realizes that this experience represents Hawkeye's swordsmanship insights and combat experience.
Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman from the One Piece world, had already started training in swordsmanship from a young age.
Each time Yagyu completes a daily task, he can enter a spiritual world.
It is as if he steps into Hawkeye's shoes, starting from being an ordinary child and gradually becoming skilled in swordsmanship, soon surpassing other kids of the same age.
That experience is incredibly real, repeating over and over again, transforming Yagyu from a complete novice in swordsmanship to an apprentice.
The agile figure finally comes to a stop. Yagyu's young body is drenched in sweat, the thin training clothes sticking to him, emitting a strong odor.
Swinging the sword a thousand times is a challenging task for a six-year-old like Yagyu.
It took him several hours, with multiple breaks and constantly changing into dry clothes due to the sweat. The heavy scent is normal.
After assimilating Hawkeye's insights and fully digesting them, Yagyu leaves the dojo and heads to the bathhouse to wash his body.
Yagyu's previous father, as a special Jonin, may have died during the Nine-Tails attack, but their house was unaffected. The compensation and savings left behind are enough to support Yagyu's comfortable life for several years, even if he spends money, it would take a decade to spend it all.
The family's financial situation ensures Yagyu doesn't have to worry about going hungry. His days are focused on daily tasks and training.
Yes, training.
Or rather, chakra extraction.
Although he doesn't possess a bloodline limit, he plans to get strong by improving his sword technique.
