Year 55 of Konoha!
Kirigakure, the Village Hidden in the Bloody Mist, on a mountainside!
A short-haired, red-eyed boy gripped a silver-white long blade, sweating as he practiced swordsmanship!
Every strike was fierce and powerful, slicing through the air with a howl!
"The 998th swing!"
"The 999th!"
"1,000!!"
With a loud shout, the boy could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Congratulations, Host. You have completed the task of swinging your sword one thousand times and successfully activated the God-tier Enhancement System!"
Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, the boy could not help but grin.
His name was Ye Liangnai, and he had arrived in the Naruto World a month ago.
Originally, even if he was weak as hell, he would not have been bullied much with his adopted older sister Mei Terumi looking after him.
But yesterday, a graduation exam with a death rate as high as fifty percent had suddenly arrived, nearly making him break down on the spot.
A bottom-ranker like him had not even mastered using Shuriken.
How was he supposed to fight those monsters in his class and pass the assessment?
He was dead for sure!
But running was not an option either. In Kirigakure, he could barely take a step without trouble.
Fortunately, the system that saved people from suffering had appeared.
As long as he completed one thousand qualified sword swings, he could awaken the system and gain the strength to pass the assessment.
Ye Liangnai could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive!
After all, there was no way he could gain the strength to pass the assessment in a single day.
And now that the system had successfully awakened, it was time to see whether all his effort had been worth it!
God-tier Enhancement System: Enhances all of the Host's items, including weapons, skills, attributes, and more.
The number of times an item can be enhanced depends on its potential. The greater its potential, the more times it can be enhanced.
Enhancement consumes Enhancement Points. Each sword swing grants 1 Enhancement Point.
"Novice Gift Pack issued: Free Enhancement Attempts ×2, High-tier Talent ×1, Chunin Attributes ×1. Please claim them, Host!"
Then, an attribute panel appeared.
Host: Ye Liangnai Age: 12 Skill: Basic Swordsmanship (taught by Mei Terumi) Weapon: Ordinary White Katana (gifted by Mei Terumi) Rank: Genin (Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, Kage, Super Kage, Six Paths) Items: Free Enhancement Attempts ×2, High-tier Talent ×1, Chunin Attributes ×1
System: "Basic Swordsmanship detected. Would the Host like to use the system to enhance it?"
"Host's talent is too poor and attributes are too low. Would the Host like to use the Novice Gift Pack items to undergo a complete transformation?"
"Use them!"
Had he not worked so hard to activate the system for this very moment?
"Ding! Basic Swordsmanship enhanced successfully. Host has obtained Chunin Sword Art, auxiliary skill: Eagle Flash!"
"Ding! Complete transformation successful. Host has obtained Chunin Attributes—strength, speed, and agility—and High-tier Talent!"
At once, powerful strength flooded Ye Liangnai's body.
He clenched his fists and thought, I should be able to pass the assessment now, right?
Then, he used his remaining enhancement attempt on his blade.
To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools!
He looked at the attribute panel again—
Host: Ye Liangnai Age: 12 Skill: Chunin Sword Art: Eagle Flash (Enhancement Attempts Remaining: 4) Weapon: Hundred Refinements Katana (Effects: slices through iron like mud, incredibly durable; Enhancement Attempts Remaining: 2) Rank: Chunin (Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, Kage, Super Kage, Six Paths)
When he returned home and pushed open the door!
Ye Liangnai discovered that a sexy woman with emerald-green eyes and long, curly brown hair was already standing in the yard.
It was Mei Terumi!
Ye Liangnai immediately revealed a delighted expression. "Sis, when did you get back?"
Mei Terumi could not help teasing him. "I finished my mission. If I didn't come back, where would I go?"
Then, her beautiful face suddenly filled with worry. "Xiao Ye, are you confident about the graduation assessment?"
Hearing this, Ye Liangnai patted his chest and answered confidently, "Yes!"
Mei Terumi was somewhat skeptical. "Really?"
She knew exactly what level Ye Liangnai's strength was at.
If she had not been worried that Ye Liangnai would fail the exam, why would she have rushed back so quickly?
Yet now, Ye Liangnai was saying that he could pass the assessment.
Had he grown much stronger during the half month she had been away on a mission?
"Sis, if you don't believe me, how about we spar?"
"If I qualify, teach me a few more ninjutsu. How about it?"
Ye Liangnai grinned. The past was the past; now things were different!
He had a system now, and he had been wanting to test just how strong the power it had given him really was!
"Fine. Let me see whether you're just bragging!"
Mei Terumi immediately agreed, then formed Hand Seals at once. "Water Style: Water Wave!"
A roaring torrent surged toward him, immensely powerful, yet Ye Liangnai did not retreat.
"Eagle Flash!"
Ye Liangnai drew his blade and split the water wave apart like a streak of light.
Then, he flashed forward again like a beam of light, making Mei Terumi's hairs stand on end as she hurriedly withdrew.
She was utterly shocked.
He was already on par with a Chunin, wasn't he? Since when had her little brother Ye Liangnai become this strong?!
"Sis, it's not over yet!"
Ye Liangnai's voice interrupted Mei Terumi's thoughts.
He closed in again, and the long sword in his hand came slashing down.
Fierce and forceful!
Mei Terumi raised a kunai to block it, only to be shocked once more.
What tremendous strength! Mei Terumi thought grimly.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The clash of metal rang out as fierce sparks flew.
Ye Liangnai was actually fighting Mei Terumi to a standstill with swordsmanship alone.
The longer Mei Terumi fought, the more shocked she became. How had Ye Liangnai suddenly become so strong?!
When she had left on her mission half a month ago, he had only been an ordinary Genin.
But now, she dared say that even the Chunin in the village might not be able to handle him!
"Stop!"
Mei Terumi called off the spar.
She looked at Ye Liangnai with uncertainty and surprise. "Xiao Ye, when did you become this strong?"
Hearing this, Ye Liangnai said with a smile, "After three days apart, one must look at someone with new eyes!"
"So, Sis, am I strong enough to pass the exam?"
Mei Terumi nodded. With Ye Liangnai's strength, he would naturally pass.
But what method had allowed him to become so strong in such a short time?
Ye Liangnai seemed to know what Mei Terumi was thinking. "A few days ago, I fell on the mountain, and it suddenly felt like something clicked. Then..."
At this point, he shrugged. "It's really strange!"
Mei Terumi was somewhat incredulous. "Really?"
That was far too strange!
"Even if you don't believe me, Sis, isn't the truth already right in front of you?"
"How about you take me for an examination and see if there's anything wrong with me?"
Ye Liangnai naturally knew that his sudden dramatic change would make Mei Terumi suspicious.
So he was very straightforward about it!
Mei Terumi said, "Fine. I'll take you for an examination anyway and see whether there's anything wrong with your body!"
But the examination results showed that there was not the slightest problem.
Ye Liangnai was perfectly normal and healthy.
That left Mei Terumi completely baffled!
Could he really have suddenly awakened to his potential?
Mei Terumi said, "Forget it. Becoming stronger is a good thing. At least your chances of survival have increased!"
As long as her little brother Ye Liangnai was all right!
