Witness Points

Name: Uzumaki Masahiko

Age: 47 (-)

Nin: 69 (+) Body: 89 (+) Skill: 1003 (+)

Three Body Jutsu:

LV10 (100000) (Max Level)

Shuriken Throwing Technique: LV10 (100000) (Max Level)

Earth Release: LV2 (16998/20000) (+)

Wind Release: LV3 (85522/100000) (+)

Fire Release: LV2 (14493/20000) (+)

Special Talent: Perception Ability

Comprehensive Evaluation: Standard Jonin

Witness Points: 20

Sure enough, it wasn't an illusion. Masahiko checked his Attribute Panel and found an additional 20 Witness Points. Plus signs had appeared after every attribute except his age, just like the stat allocation system in some third-rate game.

Witnessing and participating in major events in the Naruto World... Heh, the good news really had kept coming these past few days. First, he had discovered that his age could be adjusted, and now there was another method of cultivation that allowed him to allocate points.

But why the hell didn't this system come with a manual?! Forty-eight years! Forty-eight whole years!

Still, it wasn't too late. Most of the major events in the Naruto World hadn't happened during the Warring States period. The founding of Konoha, the Battle of the End Valley, the First Shinobi War through the Fourth Shinobi War... he could witness all of those firsthand. As for the events he had missed, Hashirama and Madara's births could probably count as two.

Forget that for now. Let's see how these Witness Points work first. If it's like I imagine, I'm going to be rich. As Masahiko thought this, he cautiously tapped the plus sign after Body in his mind.

Body: 90 (+)

Masahiko felt as if his body had grown a little stronger. Sure enough, he could directly allocate points. What about ninjutsu, then? Could he only add one point at a time there too? He tentatively tapped Earth Release, and the Earth Release entry changed to LV3 (26998/100000) (+).

Ten thousand points at once? Now this was incredible!

After thinking for a moment, Masahiko tapped Wind Release twice and Fire Release once, raising each of them by one level.

At that moment, Masahiko noticed other changes in his Attribute Panel. His Nin had increased by 28 points, becoming 97.

Sure enough, increasing attributes affected one another as well.

In that case, it seemed he could do this... Masahiko directly tapped the minus sign beside Age eleven times. His age changed to 36, and as expected, his Body had increased past 100, reaching 102. At this age, his taijutsu was at its peak. Sure enough, as his age changed, his taijutsu ability increased accordingly.

But if I lowered my age again, would my taijutsu decrease instead? I'll test that later.

Looking at the Attribute Panel, he had four Witness Points left. After considering it, he decisively added three points to Nin and kept the remaining point for emergencies. With that, Masahiko's Earth, Wind, and Fire Releases improved slightly once more...

Masahiko's Attribute Panel now became:

Name: Uzumaki Masahiko

Age: 36 (-)

Nin: 100 (+) Body: 102 (+) Skill: 1003 (+)

Three Body Jutsu:

LV10 (100000) (Max Level)

Shuriken Throwing Technique: LV10 (100000) (Max Level)

Earth Release: LV3 (27286/100000) (+)

Wind Release: LV4 (105864/200000) (+)

Fire Release: LV3 (24692/100000) (+)

Water Release:

LV1 (0/10000) (+)

Lightning Release:

LV1 (0/10000) (+)

Special Talent: Perception Ability

Comprehensive Evaluation: Elite Jonin

Witness Points: 1

Looking at the newly added Water Release and Lightning Release entries in his Attribute Panel, Masahiko smiled in satisfaction.

"Sure enough, once ninjutsu reaches the Jonin level, new attributes can be cultivated. I was already born with three attributes, and now I have all five. As for Yin and Yang, they probably require special conditions... And my evaluation has finally reached Elite Jonin!"

"Lightning and Water, huh?" Masahiko muttered. "I'll leave them alone for now. Wind Release has finally reached LV4, so I can try that trump card. That'll improve my strength more."

That was right. Masahiko had been born with Wind Release Chakra and had lived in the Naruto World's Warring States era for forty-eight years. How could he possibly have failed to develop the protagonist Naruto's signature ninjutsu—the Rasengan?

However, the Rasengan had not been easy to develop. The key problem was that there were no balloons to be found in this era... He had only managed to forcefully develop it at Wind Release LV3, relying on a Jonin's understanding of ninjutsu.

After developing it, he had naturally wanted to continue developing its advanced form, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. Cutting leaves and cutting waterfalls posed no difficulty for him, but he remained stuck at the final step, unable to complete it no matter what he did.

After thinking it over, he concluded that while the Attribute Panel had given him limitless potential, it had also restricted him. A Forbidden Jutsu like the Rasenshuriken probably required Wind Release LV4. Even if he knew its principles and method of cultivation, he could not develop it across levels.

That was why he had not been overly excited after gaining Lightning Release Chakra. He knew that techniques like Chidori and Raikiri probably required LV3 and LV4 as well. Who knew how long that would take?

In any case, his next goal was to develop Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. While he was at it, he could take part in the Senju Clan's affairs. Maybe some event would count as a major event in the Naruto World, earning him Witness Points and sending him toward the peak of life...

Thinking this, Masahiko could no longer resist his exhaustion. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Tobirama's knocking woke Masahiko.

"Second Grandfather, Father asks you to come to the Main Hall to talk."

"Got it. Go ahead first. I'll get myself ready," Masahiko replied.

Masahiko washed his face and saw a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar face reflected in the water.

Damn it, I'm thirty-six now. How am I supposed to explain this when I see them? Should I say I've become youthful again?

At that moment, Masahiko noticed a container of Blush beside the washbasin. A female guest had probably stayed in this room before.

In that case... Before long, Masahiko looked at the Diamond Red Mark on his forehead and smiled in satisfaction.

When he arrived at the Main Hall, he found that everyone else had already arrived: Senju Butsuma and the newlywed couple.

"Masahiko is here. You..." Butsuma began, only to notice Masahiko's new appearance. The words caught in his throat.

"Oh, yesterday I mastered our Uzumaki Clan's secret technique, the Chakra Sealing Technique. This technique can use Chakra to alter one's appearance and make me look younger," Masahiko hurriedly explained.

"Uh... then congratulations." Butsuma truly had nothing to say. A technique that could preserve one's youthful appearance had appeared on someone old enough by seniority to be his uncle. It was truly uncomfortable...

"Second Grandfather, please forgive yesterday's poor hospitality. And Father, thank you for all your hard work these past two days," Hashirama said at that moment.

Masahiko looked at him. The God of Shinobi had finally returned to normal today and no longer wore that inexplicably shy expression.

"Alright, there's nothing important this morning. I just wanted Hashirama to bring Mito to greet everyone. If there's nothing else, everyone can go take care of their own business," Butsuma said.

Getting up so early... I should go back and catch up on sleep...

He headed back with Hashirama and Mito, but just as they neared his room, Mito stopped him.

Mito gestured for Hashirama to leave first. She had a few words for Second Grandfather.

"Second Grandfather, I'm also cultivating the Chakra Sealing Technique," Mito said after Hashirama left.

"Good. Then work hard. If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep. I'm exhausted..." Masahiko yawned and replied with a smile.

"But as far as I know, only women can learn this technique..." Mito said faintly.

That was awkward... Masahiko's smile froze on his face.
