*Ding!*
Seeing a notification float in front of him, Colt was startled.
Aside from the chakra and physical enhancements that were just basic rewards, he got 20 points, which he could earn from a day or two of work at the hospital. But the last reward made him jump up in excitement.
'Pure Ashura Chakra!'
As the sons of the Sage of Six Paths, Ashura and Indra had battled for millennia.
The two fought endlessly, even reincarnating their chakra to continue the conflict. So, whenever Ashura and Indra's chakra reincarnations appeared, a bloody storm would ravage the ninja world. Either the wind of Ashura would prevail, or Indra's winds.
This ancient rivalry had shaped the fate of countless generations, and now Colt was a part of that legacy.
The previous era's Ashura and Indra's reincarnations were the pinnacle!
With his Wood Release (Mokuton) and ninjutsu, Senju Hashirama defeated Uchiha Madara who was using the Nine-Tailed fox.
In the past, Ashura's reincarnations used Tailed Beast powers to battle Indra's.
Obtaining Ashura's chakra meant Colt could steadily become a ninja god in the future.
He checked the store price for Ashura Chakra - 15,000 points!
What a steal!
"Wow Colt, you can actually use ninjutsu now!"
Naruto's excited shout pulled Colt back from his dazed state.
Thanks to the Nine-Tails sealed within him, Naruto healed quickly. But never this fast - his wound vanished in two seconds!
"My only friend is so strong!"
Colt gave a gentle smile.
"I just became a medic-nin, Naruto. If you're injured in the future, come find me at the Konoha Hospital. I treat patients there every morning."
Naruto's eyes shone. "So cool! I've decided - I'll become the Hokage, and then I'll let you be the Hospital Director!"
Colt didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, then I'll wait for the day you become a Hokage."
"It's getting late, time for me to head home and train. Next time I'll treat you to a barbecue."
He waved goodbye to Naruto, who watched until Colt was out of sight before turning to leave.
'Colt, I'll make you proud!'
...
After parting with Naruto, Colt ran home as fast as possible.
What started as an ordinary day had turned extraordinary thanks to a whim.
"System, help me extract the pure Ashura Chakra."
Though not intelligent, the system was still very considerate. High-tier rewards like this could be extracted privately to avoid exposure. Most importantly, he obtained pure Ashura Chakra - just raw energy. In his past life, many debated whether Naruto's carefree, forgiving nature stemmed from Ashura's chakra influencing his personality. If so, Colt dared not merge with it directly. Fortunately, the system forced separation.
As soon as he spoke, Colt felt his chakra stimulated, rapidly increasing. Simultaneously, his cells began the deepest transformation so far. A very relaxed feeling came over his mind. His whole body brimmed with vitality, and even the fatigue from sprinting home vanished. He could feel his strength multiplying, and a newfound sense of power coursed through his veins.
"Open status panel."
[Character: Colt]
[Age: 4 years old]
[Constitution: 35.3 (Sage Body awakening)]
[Spirit: 20.3]
[Chakra: 1.1 Kakashi]
[Skills: Chakra Control (Lv2 56/200), Throwing (Lv4 66/400), Great Fireball Jutsu (Lv2 55/200), Clone Jutsu (Lv3 128/300)]
[Chakra Natures: Wind, Lightning, Earth, Yang]
[Points: 103]
[Comments: Powerful body, amazing chakra, bright future ahead! But for now, no match for an experienced Chunin.]
Seeing his physical and chakra stats jump, Colt smiled again. Today's harvest was truly bountiful.
Even chakra amounts used the universal "Kakashi" unit of measurement. As everyone knew, the ninja world had two standard units - "Kakashi" for chakra, and "Asuma" for large sums of money. (E/N: Don't understand The Asuma one, if anyone does, please comment)
"This isn't Ashura Chakra's greatest effect."
Colt knew that surging chakra alone couldn't match Indra's lineage.
No matter how much chakra one had, lacking the ability to wield it made one a fool.
Ashura Chakra's biggest role was shaping a complete Sage Body. The Sage Body granted powerful self-healing plus great ninjutsu aptitude.
Just look at Hashirama - Tsunade's Creation Rebirth was simply his passive ability, and he could enter Sage Mode in seconds.
"I don't know when I'll get a chance to get Indra's chakra from Sasuke."
Human desire was insatiable. Just after rejoicing over the Sage Body, Colt already thought about acquiring the second piece. With Indra's chakra, he would not only possess immense power but also balance between the two legendary forces. This would make him truly invincible in the ninja world, a force to be reckoned with on both spiritual and physical planes.
But there was nothing he could do for now. With the Uchiha's strained relationship with the village, Sasuke rarely appeared in public, let alone allowed Colt to be close to him. He realized he'd have to wait until entering the Ninja Academy to interact with Sasuke properly. For now, growth was key so he could only focus on what was in front of him, there was no need to think that far ahead just yet.
He silently encouraged himself, then took out the Wind Style: Great Breakthrough scroll to study. Just looking at his status showed his ninjutsu skills were poor. Colt didn't want to be like Naruto – who used one jutsu for the whole show. He wanted a style as gorgeous and powerful as Uchiha Madara's. No matter how bad it got, he had to earn the title "Ninjutsu Master."
Though the Third Hokage shamelessly claimed to be the strongest Hokage ever, his "Five Release Great Combo Technique" did indeed look stylish and highly effective as far as he knew.
Colt aimed to surpass even that, mastering a wide array of Jutsus to ensure he could handle any situation with finesse and power. The path ahead was long, but Colt's determination was unwavering.

****************
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since what had happened before.
At the Konoha Hospital, Colt, as usual, came there every morning to get some attributes. It was the usual routine, of the hospital in the mornings and training afterward. Which worked for him so far.
The only difference was that in the beginning, Colt only received about ten patients a day that he could get attributes from.
But now, that number has at least quadrupled which was impressive on its own, considering his age and the hesitation of people to seek him.
But there was a reason for it.
After discovering that Colt's healing technique has the means to heal grievous wounds, many seemingly healthy ninjas have found their way to him with their battered bodies.
It didn't hurt to try and see if they could be healed. That was the mentality most adopted before they visited him.
And Colt was also quite the profiteer, never fully healing them all at once. Instead, he stops when they reach the standard for rewards given by the system and asks them to come back in a few days.
The obvious excuse was that segmented treatment would have better results. In reality, it's just to milk them for attributes a few more times.
Proper profit-seeking behavior.
[Treated one patient, gain Chakra +2.5, Wind Nature Transformation +24, Points +2.]
The system prompt sounded in his mind, but Colt didn't change his expression as he said to the patient before him:
"Mr. Inuzuka, that's all for today's treatment. After three more sessions, your right foot will recover."
Hearing this, the Inuzuka clan ninja showed joy.
"Thank you, little genius healer! I'll come back in two days."
After that, he walked out of the office with a cane.
"Little genius doctor or whatever..."
Because of his healing power, in the past six months, none of the wounded Colt has treated remained uncured.
Gradually, his fame spread to a small extent. He doesn't know who called him that first, but then the hospital nurses and medical-nin all used the moniker.
Well now, even the patients know it.
Taking off his white coat, Colt's task for today was also completed.
When he walked out of the hospital door, he saw a pretty white-eyed girl standing there with a bento box.
"Hinata, sorry for keeping you waiting."
Walking in front of Hinata, a gentle smile appeared on Colt's face as he gently rubbed her dark bluish hair.
"I, I just arrived too, Colt-kun."
Feeling the warmth on her head, Hinata's face quickly turned red as she blushed, and the hands holding the food box trembled slightly.
'Colt-kun touched my head, so comfortable.'
Now she was much better than before, at least she wasn't shy when speaking.
However, even so, physical contact was stepping on a tipping point.
Colt put down his hand in time and took the food box from the girl's hands.
'Too much. Although I want to make Hinata more confident and cheerful, pushing too hard would be counterproductive.'
That's it for now, let Hinata adapt step-by-step.
It's head pats now, in a few years hugs, and at the end...
'No, no, no. My purpose was only to help Hinata change herself, how can I think that way?'
After righteous self-criticism, Colt began to enjoy the food brought by Hinata.
He picked up a piece of fried shrimp tempura and bit into it.
In an instant, the sweetness of the shrimp and the crispy texture of the skin burst forth, causing Colt to narrow his eyes happily.
"Hinata, your cooking skills have improved again!"
That's right, this bento was all made by Hinata's own hands.
Knowing Colt would come to the hospital for work every morning, Hinata would bring him a lunch box when she could go out.
Once Colt joked that he wanted to eat a bento made by Hinata herself. As a result, the little girl took it seriously.
Since then, she has been practicing cooking diligently.
Up to now, Hinata's craftsmanship has become very good. Coupled with the Hyuga clan's lofty standards, all top-quality ingredients were used.
The food she makes was not inferior to the chefs of some restaurants.
However, the price of this lunch was not cheap - enough for Naruto to eat ramen for half a month.
Hinata on the side was also very happy, as earning praise from Colt was her greatest hope.
"Are you going back to training after eating?"
Hinata has a good understanding of Colt's living habits - at the hospital in the morning and training in the afternoon.
Today, she was approved by her father to spend a long time outside playing. Of course, she wanted to spend this half-day with Colt.
Although it was said that Colt trained her to be by his side, it was a pity they couldn't today.
However, Colt shook his head. "I won't be exercising today; I'm taking a half day off."
The plan he had made at the beginning could not keep up with his progress.
He was too young - no matter how he trained, there were limits to the attributes he could build.
After all, even in the ninja world, human bodily growth must follow natural laws.
He has a Sage Body, granting a fast growth rate and a high ceiling. But the efficiency of simple training will gradually decrease.
Instead of wasting time grinding inefficiently, he should think of other ways to improve.
Moreover, Colt naturally saw the expectation in Hinata's eyes.
Thinking that for the past six months, Hinata has been silently staying by his side, his heart softened.
"Hinata, let's take a stroll around Konoha this afternoon."
