The roof of a dilapidated house.

Uzumaki Naruto lay on the tiles, closing his azure eyes beneath the starlight.

"Purchase six Taijutsu Training sessions!"

"Purchase three Chakra Training sessions!"

"Purchase three Hand Seal Training sessions!"

Uzumaki Naruto swept through the learning items on the shelves on a massive scale.

In an extremely short time, he made up for the gap between himself and real ninjas. His physical abilities, reflexes, and constitution all improved dramatically at once.

A moment later.

Uzumaki Naruto opened his azure eyes, rose to his feet, and leaped straight from the roof onto a distant tree trunk.

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

"I should be able to jump even farther."

Uzumaki Naruto made several more leaps and easily arrived near a forest.

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

Boom!!!

A towering tree that three people could not wrap their arms around was snapped in half by Uzumaki Naruto's punch, its lush canopy crashing to the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several more towering trees fell in succession, every one of them broken cleanly across the middle.

"My strength has increased dozens of times too."

Uzumaki Naruto came to a wall and threw another punch.

Boom!!!

Uzumaki Naruto's punch blasted a large hole through the sturdy wall. After several more punches, the wall was completely reduced to rubble.

Broken stones flew everywhere, and dust billowed into the air.

"My constitution has become incredibly strong. I've probably reached the level of a taijutsu-focused chunin."

Uzumaki Naruto could not help but smile. He glanced into the distance and saw several Nara Clan ninjas hurrying over.

With a leap.

His figure vanished.

When the Nara Clan ninjas arrived, they saw the devastated state of their backyard.

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

"God, who did this!?"

"The destructive power is too strong. There are fist marks on it too. Could this have been smashed apart with a single punch?"

"Could it be... Lady Tsunade has returned?"

After returning home.

Uzumaki Naruto carefully considered his current situation.

"My Kekkei Genkai is Scorch Release."

"In terms of taijutsu, I'm roughly at the level of genin Rock Lee."

"My kunai skills have reached the elite level."

"Everything is decent, but none of it has reached its peak. I need a trump card..."

"I should find an opportunity to learn some top-tier taijutsu or ninjutsu."

His body had become exceptionally strong, and he urgently needed a taijutsu that could bring his physique to its limits.

Uzumaki Naruto glanced at the system's taijutsu shelf.

Forbidden Taijutsu: Eight Gates Formation Eight Gates Formation: Removes the body's restrictions on chakra and releases excess energy. 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 will also suffer damage. Price: 500 million Ryo Senju Secret Technique: Chakra Enhanced Strength Chakra Enhanced Strength: By gathering chakra, one can unleash tremendous destructive power. A single heavy stomp on the ground can produce enough force to split the earth. Price: 200 million Ryo -------------- Forbidden Taijutsu: Cell Activation Cell Activation: By concentrating Lightning Release Chakra throughout the body, the entire body can be covered in chakra and lightning. It activates the body and allows the use of Lightning Body Flicker, with a speed like Blue Lightning. Price: 400 million Ryo --------------

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

Although he could instantly master these ninjutsu after buying them, the prices were simply too expensive.

It would be best to learn them first, then purchase the corresponding training. That would make them more than ten times cheaper.

As he thought.

Uzumaki Naruto suddenly remembered something. He removed the Ninja Tool Pouch from his waist and took out a scroll.

This was the ninjutsu scroll that Uchiha Itachi had lost to him. He had no idea what kind of ninjutsu it contained.

The scroll unfurled, revealing black writing.

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 had actually given him Fire Release ninjutsu of this level. Could Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi... really be that stupid?

Uchiha Shisui: "Achoo!!!"

Uchiha Itachi: "Achoo!!!"

The two miserable Uchiha Clan geniuses sneezed at the same time.

Then.

The two Uchiha Clan geniuses walked toward their companions with flushed faces.

"D-Do you want to buy a book?"

"Fire Release... requires Fire Release nature to unleash its full power..."

Uzumaki Naruto frowned slightly.

He somewhat understood Uchiha Itachi's thinking now.

The nature he had displayed publicly was Wind Release. Even if he possessed Fire Release ninjutsu scrolls, he could not become a true Fire Release ninja.

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

Whoosh!!!

Scorch Release: Blazing Fire burned in Uzumaki Naruto's hand.

"Scorch Release is a Wind and Fire Kekkei Genkai. That means I now possess both Wind and Fire natures. Uchiha Itachi probably never imagined that I have Fire Release nature now, right?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at the scroll in his hand again.

He selected the three Fire Release ninjutsu most suitable for himself.

Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!

Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Technique!

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

"Ash Pile Burning can spew dust at an extremely high temperature, burning enemies while blocking their vision..."

"Heavenly Prison Technique can be considered a sealing technique, used to restrain an enemy's movements..."

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