Abducted by the System

Uchiha Chen walked along, still reflecting on the shortcomings of the battle he had just fought.

A system prompt suddenly sounded in his ear: "Congratulations, Host, for defeating the Uchiha Trio. You have achieved your first victory in battle in the ninja world and defeated your opponents! You are specially awarded 1,500 Ninja Points."

The system information changed:

Host's remaining Ninja Points: 4,390.

"So defeating opponents earns rewards too." Uchiha Chen seemed to see a way to farm points... "Pah." It was the great road to success.

"Does that mean..."

Uchiha Chen began to chuckle.

Uchiha Chen immediately found it hard to restrain himself. He was ready to turn around at once and go teach the Uchiha Trio another lesson.

Those were all sparkling points. More precisely, they were stepping stones toward getting soft, cute girls.

Foolish clansmen!

"Accept the loving caress of my iron fists."

Just as he was about to excitedly charge back, the system seemed to have already seen through Uchiha Chen's scheme and mercilessly extinguished his thoughts.

"System restriction: the same person can only be farmed for points once within a short period of time."

"Damn it. So even if I go beat them up again now, I won't get any points?"

"That's right."

"..."

"S-System! You despicable bastard!"

It's targeting me again.

Uchiha Chen asked doubtfully, "System, how long is this short period? One day, or two?"

He still could not let go of his desire to keep beating up the three of them for points.

The system explained, "Once an opponent's strength has increased, the Host may continue farming points from that opponent."

"In other words, if their strength never increases for the rest of their lives, then I can't farm them anymore?"

"That's right."

"So the system suggests that the Host go beat up other children."

"..."

"That's enough, System! You're luring me onto the path of crime!"

Who exactly had created this system? It actually had such an extreme, peculiar, and dangerous hobby.

Still, circumstances were stronger than people. Faced with this situation, little Uchiha Chen felt deeply sorrowful.

For the sake of his points, he could only sacrifice himself in the future, follow the system's advice, and embark on the road of no return—beating up other children.

"If you want to hate someone, go find this system," Uchiha Chen muttered.

After walking behind the woods, Uchiha Chen began his training.

It was simple. First came Push-ups, followed by Taijutsu training such as kicking wooden posts.

All of it was simple, and it was practical training for someone his age. In the original story, Rock Lee trained this way too.

"Do 1,000 Push-ups. If I can't finish them, kick the wooden post 500 times..."

System prompts continuously sounded by his ear: "Congratulations, Host, for completing 900 Push-ups. Reward: 7 Ninja Points."

"Congratulations, Host, for completing 500 kicks. Reward: 4 Ninja Points..."

Several hours quickly passed.

Uchiha Chen's clothes were already soaked through.

The system information changed:

Host's remaining Ninja Points: 4,410.

Uchiha Chen prepared to rest for a while and eat some lunch.

He took out his completely cold bento. Uh, perhaps it could not even be called a bento.

He wolfed it down.

"Ugh, this is really awful."

Uchiha Chen was not good at making this sort of thing. In fact, he could cook some Chinese dishes, but unfortunately, the ninja world did not have the ingredients he wanted, and he was not good at Japanese cuisine.

So how exactly had Uchiha Chen survived all these years on salt and water?

No, licking would probably be a more fitting word.

Sure enough, was there still a woman missing from the household?

Please ignore the resentment of a Single Dog.

While resting, Uchiha Chen looked over his status panel.

He now had 4,410 points. His Taijutsu was already Level 3, and continuing to invest in Taijutsu would cost 2,000 points.

Although he needed to reach Level 8 before graduation, if he really relied on beating up children every day to save up points in the future, earning points would not be particularly difficult.

After all, there were still plenty of children at the Ninja Academy.

So, now that he no longer felt pressured by points, it was necessary for him to invest in other areas as well.

After all, he planned to hold onto the top spot in his grade for the long term.

There would definitely be many people eyeing that throne.

For example, Nawaki, who was as foolish as Naruto, and Minato, who was steadily growing at the Ninja Academy. They would all become his future competitors.

He needed to develop in every aspect.

He could not have even a single weakness.

More importantly, if he wanted to beat up other students, he needed sufficient strength. Otherwise, if he got beaten up instead, that would be far too embarrassing.

His Taijutsu was currently rated at Level 3, making him one of the top figures at the Ninja Academy. But if he was only good at Taijutsu, he could easily be countered.

Among Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu, Taijutsu was the type of training ninjas valued the least. Against Ninjutsu- and Genjutsu-type ninjas, Taijutsu specialists were at a severe disadvantage.

Although Might Guy broke that rule, as a man whose kick nearly kicked out the ending, he was certainly impressive. But that was only under the premise of using the Eight Gates Formation.

Without the Eight Gates Formation, Might Guy had struggled greatly even against Kisame's Water Clone Jutsu clone, which possessed only thirty percent of the original body's Chakra.

Take the battle just now, for example. If Uchiha Chen's Shurikenjutsu had been particularly outstanding—if he possessed Shuriken Jutsu as skilled and flashy as Itachi's—he would not have needed to charge in alone at all.

He could have simply stood where he was and resolved everything with a casual flick of his hand.

How dashing. How stylish.

And if he possessed exceptional Genjutsu, then with a single sentence, he could have knocked all three of them down.

As the father of Shisui, who would in the future possess the strongest Genjutsu, Uchiha Chen should also make some small efforts in Genjutsu.

At the very least, he could not be too lousy.

Moreover, Shuriken Jutsu and Genjutsu were both hereditary secret arts of the Uchiha Clan. They suited his identity as a member of the Uchiha Clan perfectly, so learning them would be easy for him.

Even without the Sharingan, he could still wield considerable power.

At the very least, no one at the academy would be his opponent.

Although no one was there to guide him in these areas, his father, Uchiha Kagami, had left behind quite a few Scrolls related to them.

As long as he added points to these areas, his combat strength would immediately soar.

Uchiha Chen immediately spent 1,000 Ninja Points to raise his Shuriken attribute by one level, bringing it to Level 3.

Then he spent another 1,600 Ninja Points on Genjutsu, raising it to Level 3 as well.

Finally, he spent 600 Ninja Points to raise his Ninjutsu attribute to Level 2. After all, Ninjutsu would be the most important aspect in the future.
