The dilapidated house had a roof.

Uzumaki Naruto lay on the tiles, his eyes, the color of the clear sky, closed under the starlight.

"Purchase six Taijutsu Trainings!"

"Purchase three Chakra Trainings!"

"Purchase three Hand Seal Trainings!"

Uzumaki Naruto swept through the learning items on the shelves.

In a very short time, he closed the gap between himself and true Ninja. His physical fitness, reaction speed, and constitution all greatly improved at the same time.

A moment later.

Uzumaki Naruto opened his sky-blue eyes, stood up, and leaped, jumping directly from the rooftop onto a distant tree trunk.

"My jumping ability has increased by dozens of times."

"I should be able to jump even further."

Uzumaki Naruto took a few more leaps, easily arriving near a forest.

Looking at the towering trees around him, Uzumaki Naruto licked his lips, clenched his fingers, and threw a punch.

"Boom!!!"

A towering tree, too large for three people to encircle, was broken in half by Uzumaki Naruto's single punch, its lush canopy crashing to the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several more towering trees fell in succession, all snapped cleanly in half without exception.

"My strength has also increased by dozens of times."

Uzumaki Naruto approached a wall and punched it again.

"Boom!!!"

The sturdy wall had a large hole punched through it by Uzumaki Naruto. After a few more punches, the wall was completely reduced to ruins.

Debris flew, and dust billowed.

"My physique is so strong now; I estimate I've reached the level of a Taijutsu-type Chunin."

Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but smile. He glanced into the distance, where several Nara Clan Ninja were rushing over.

He leaped.

His figure vanished.

When the Nara Clan Ninja arrived, they saw the devastated scene in their own backyard.

Towering trees snapped in half, walls blasted into rubble, and huge cracks in the ground...

"Oh my god, who did this!?"

"The destructive power is too strong. There are even punch marks on it; could this have been shattered by a single punch?"

"This... could it be that Lady Tsunade has returned?"

Back home.

Uzumaki Naruto carefully considered the current situation.

"I have Scorch Release as my Kekkei Genkai."

"In terms of Taijutsu, I'm roughly at the level of Genin Rock Lee."

"My Kunai skills have reached elite level."

Everything is good, but nothing has reached its peak. I need a trump card...

I should find an opportunity to learn a top-tier Taijutsu or Ninjutsu.

His physique was already quite formidable, and he urgently needed a Taijutsu to push his body to its limits.

Uzumaki Naruto glanced at the Taijutsu section of the system's shop.

[Taijutsu Forbidden Jutsu: Eight Gates Formation] [Eight Gates Formation: Releases the body's limitations on Chakra, allowing excess energy to be unleashed. It consists of the Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Wonder, and Gate of Death. However, while gaining power, the user themselves will suffer damage.] [Selling Price: 500,000,000 Ryo] —————————————— [Senju Secret Technique: Chakra Enhanced Strength] [Chakra Enhanced Strength: Concentrating Chakra allows for immense destructive power. A single heavy stomp on the ground can create a force capable of cracking the earth.] [Selling Price: 200,000,000 Ryo] [Taijutsu Forbidden Jutsu: Cell Activation] [Cell Activation: By concentrating Lightning Release Chakra throughout the body, covering it in Chakra and lightning, the user can activate their physical body and use Lightning Body Flicker, moving as fast as blue lightning.] [Sale Price: 400,000,000 Ryo]

Uzumaki Naruto shook his head, abandoning the idea of directly purchasing Taijutsu from the system.

While he would instantly master these Ninjutsu upon purchase, the price was simply too exorbitant.

It would be much better to learn them and then buy the corresponding training, which would be over ten times cheaper.

As he pondered, Uzumaki Naruto suddenly thought of something. He unhooked the Ninja Tool Pouch from his waist and pulled out a scroll.

This was the Ninjutsu scroll Uchiha Itachi had lost to him. He wondered what kind of Jutsu it contained.

The scroll unrolled, revealing black characters.

[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!]

[Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!]

[Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!]

[Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!]

[Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song!]

Uzumaki Naruto raised an eyebrow slightly.

They actually gave me Fire Release Ninjutsu of this caliber? Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi... are they really that slow-witted?

Uchiha Shisui: "Achoo!!!"

Uchiha Itachi: "Achoo!!!"

The two unfortunate geniuses of the Uchiha Clan sneezed simultaneously.

Then, the two Uchiha Clan geniuses, faces flushed, walked towards their companions.

"Do... do you want to buy a book?"

"Fire Release... it needs fire-attribute Ninjutsu to unleash its full power..."

Uzumaki Naruto frowned slightly.

He somewhat understood Uchiha Itachi's thinking.

His publicly displayed attribute was wind, so even with a Fire Release Ninjutsu scroll, he couldn't become a true Fire Release Ninja.

Uzumaki Naruto's brow relaxed, and he extended his right hand.

"BLAZE!!!"

Scorch Release flames burned in Uzumaki Naruto's hand.

"Scorch Release is a Kekkei Genkai of wind and fire, which means I now possess both wind and fire attributes. Uchiha Itachi probably didn't foresee me having the fire attribute, did he!?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at the scroll in his hand again.

From it, he selected the three Fire Release Ninjutsu most suitable for him.

[Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!]

[Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Technique!]

[Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!]

"Ash Pile Burning can spew ultra-high temperature ash, scorching enemies while also obscuring their vision..."

"Heavenly Prison Technique can be seen as a sealing Jutsu, used to restrain enemy movements..."

"Great Fire Annihilation will serve as my main offensive ability..."
