บท 77: Naruto World: A New Beginning
Standing before a mirror, Ryou felt a wave of dizziness and a sharp headache. After a few moments, his frown eased as his memories slowly returned.
"I'm in the Naruto world!" He quickly understood his situation as it wasn't a typical soul transmigration. Instead, it felt more like recovering from amnesia, with memories gradually coming back.
His body, however, felt weak and sluggish, as though he'd lost all his strength. After a few seconds of adjusting, the sudden physical weakness became more bearable.
Not only that, but he couldn't access any of his previous skills. Even Nature Breathing was out of reach as if he had forgotten how to use it.
"System, what's happening?" Ryou asked.
"Host, when you transmigrate to a new world, you can't carry over all your previous world skills. As a Lv-2 System, I can allow you to select one skill that will be permanent. This skill will remain with you, even in future transmigrations," the system explained.
"Do you want to make your selection now?"
"Yes," Ryou replied, then cursed inwardly, 'Couldn't you have mentioned that earlier?'
A list appeared before him:
[~ 1. Nature Breathing [Max]
2. Tekkai [Max]
3. Sharingan [Three-Tomoe]
4. Transparent World ~]
Ryou wasn't in a hurry to make his choice. Instead, he closed his eyes for a moment to sort through his memories.
In this World, he's from a commoner background, but his family had been fairly well off when they were alive because they knew how to make smoke bombs and flash bombs, useful tools for ninjas in war.
Both his father and mother had been chunin, but they lost their lives in the ongoing Third Great Ninja War just a year ago. Now, Ryou was the last surviving member of his family.
Naruto World is basically a world dominated by Dōjutsu. Without these bloodline powers, the highest one could achieve is Kage-level strength.
However, the system made Ryou transmigrate into a body with no bloodline. Ryou was speechless, but also knew it was useless to argue with the system.
"System, if I choose the Sharingan, will it remain at the Three-Tomoe level, just like before?" Ryou asked.
"Yes, the Sharingan will stay at the Three-Tomoe level," the system responded.
"What about Nature Breathing? Will I need to start from the basics to improve my proficiency?"
"No. However, you will need to improve your physique from scratch," the system replied.
After getting the answers, Ryou decisively chose Nature Breathing without any hesitation.
As he did, the familiar mastery of Nature Breathing filled his mind. With a deep inhale, the abundant natural energy around him surged into his body, filling him with a wonderful sensation.
"What a rich energy... the natural energy here is at least ten times stronger than in the Demon Slayer World."
"Host, you have one free Lucky Draw remaining," the system reminded, mustering a familiar Lucky Draw wheel in Ryou's mind, displaying eight options.
[1. Indra Bloodline] [2. Rinnegan] [3. Six Eyes] [4. Mind Stone] [5. Ninja Sealed Book] [6. Armament Haki] [7. Observation Haki] [8. Magu Magu no Mi]
As he scanned the rewards, Ryou felt less excitement than before. He knew that getting excited about the possibilities would be pointless if he didn't actually win anything good. "System, spin the lottery."
The lucky wheel whirled in his mind for a few seconds before gradually slowing and landing on 'Observation Haki.'
Ryou exhaled with a sense of disappointment. 'Why would I need Observation Haki? I already have a Nature Perception. Last time, I drew something valuable; this time, it feels like I got stuck with something useless.'
"System, display my status panel," Ryou asked.
[~ Name: Ryou Shinsei
Physique: Human [Unawakened Nature Physique]
Chakra: Genin
Skill: Nature Breathing [Max], Observation Haki - Basic [0/10], Jutsu.
Items: Sword: Ikazuchi
Upgrade Points: 0 ~]
"What are Upgrade points?"
"Upgrade Points are similar to Demon Points, but you won't get them by defeating or killing enemies. They are incredibly precious and can only be obtained by completing system tasks.
You can use Upgrade Points to learn abilities that are otherwise unlearnable on your own or to upgrade skills or Ninjutsu you're struggling to master.
For instance, if you want to learn Flying Thunder God or develop a Kekkei Genkai, you may not be do so on your own, spending one Upgrade Point will grant you that knowledge."
"It seems the difficulty has increased," Ryou mused as he examined the Jutsu section, which had transformed into a new panel:
[Jutsu]
[~ Chakra Control: Basic [Genin-level]
Nature Transformation: Wind
Transformation/Clone/Body Replacement: Genin-level ~]
Closing the system panel, Ryou took a moment to remember important details in his mind before gazing at his reflection.
He saw the face of a boy around ten years old, handsome and fair-skinned, reminiscent of his younger self from the Demon Slayer world. Messy black hair framed his dark brown eyes, and he wore a light green long-sleeve t-shirt paired with dark pants while a Konoha ninja forehead protector rested securely over his bangs.
Looking at the ninja forehead protector, Ryou suddenly remembered. He had graduated just yesterday from the Ninja Academy and had been placed on a three-person team.
One of his teammates was named Uchiha Shisui, a talented child from the Uchiha clan who had graduated at the age of seven. Despite being three years older than Shisui, Ryou found himself on the same team due to Shisui's early graduation, along with another teammate named Tenga Niwashi.
'Today... I was supposed to meet the Jonin instructor at Training Ground Eleven around 9 in the morning.'
Ryou glanced at the clock—8:10. With some time to spare, he decided to familiarize himself with the chakra and ninjutsu he knew before heading out. Closing his eyes, he focused inward, feeling the subtle flow of chakra coursing through his body.
With smooth, and familiar practiced movements, he formed the hand seals: 'Ram → Snake → Tiger.' In an instant, a clone identical to him appeared beside him.
"Hmm, it seems not too difficult, but the amount of chakra I have is surprisingly low," he noted.
Ryou tried another familiar jutsu: 'Dog → Boar → Ram.' In a flash, his form shifted, transforming into the image of an adult Kakashi. With a release hand seal, he transformed back.
Aside from the basic jutsu taught at the Ninja Academy, Ryou discovered he had knowledge of two Wind Release jutsu: Gale Palm and Great Breakthrough.
However, with his current limited chakra reserve, he could only perform one of them before exhausting his chakra.
'With my current strength, even a chunin could kill me easily. I need to improve my physique quickly, or using the Nature Breathing Style may put a burden on my body!
Well... there's no need to worry too much,' Ryou mused. He then checked his ninja pouch, which had a few shurikens, a kunai, and two smoke bombs. "Alright, let's go and meet the team. Uchiha Shisui... it's going to be interesting!"
