My Mysterious Ancestor

"System! Open the shop!"

The shop interface opened, and Torifu began searching through the screen full of items.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use the item search function, but he didn't know which category the item he wanted belonged to; after all, that item was far too unique.

In the process, Torifu also took note of other items that caught his eye. After all, even if he spent sixty thousand, he still had 14,300 Calmness Points left in his hands.

That was enough for him to buy some novel little gadgets.

As he scrolled, he didn't find the item he was looking for, but his eyes were caught by something else instead.

[Summoning Seed]

That's right, the item Torifu had been talking about all along that would allow him to survive Madara Uchiha's rebellion was this: the Yunzhong Huachen Experience Card.

To be honest, Torifu had always had a question: just how strong was this ancestor? To make the system release a standalone item! And sell it for so much!

This mysterious ancestor of his didn't even have many records in the family history, only stating that he was the creator of Cloud Release and possessed immense strength!

No one said exactly how strong he was, nor did anyone say whether he was alive or dead.

In any case, Torifu always felt that this ancestor wasn't from this world; perhaps, like him, he was a transmigrator from another world?

Because in the original Naruto world, there was no such thing as the Kumonaka Clan, or Cloud Release, or anything of the sort.

So, it was understandable for Torifu to be suspicious. What he wanted now was to see if he could find any clues while using the ancestor experience card.

You ask why he has to be so serious about it? He's just bored! Or perhaps he hasn't done enough missions!

Maybe, just maybe, he really was a sword immortal? You never know!

Take the heirloom Heming Sword, for example. He had compared it with many ores used to forge top-tier weapons.

But those ores had absolutely nothing in common with the Heming Sword.

"I'll definitely have to fight after using the experience card, so I must try hard to remember the feeling! Maybe I can even learn a move or two."

An ancestor is an ancestor after all; if he didn't have some skills, he would have died long ago in that era!

Furthermore, adding the identity of a suspected sword immortal from another world made Torifu actually start to look forward to it.

Closing the shop, Torifu suddenly felt annoyed again. This damn shop didn't allow for bookmarking items, and the ancestor experience card was a "ready-to-eat" item!

If someone were to jump him and start attacking, and he hadn't found the item yet, he'd be done for.

If there were a system satisfaction survey, Torifu would definitely mark the user experience as extremely poor!

But complaining aside, buying was buying; they were two different things.

In short, everything was ready except for Madara Uchiha. Torifu had never even seen Madara Uchiha; he had left Konoha long before Torifu was born.

For this reason, Torifu was very curious: "I wonder if he's the same as in the anime."

However, as strong as Madara Uchiha was, he was nothing more than a pawn for others. He thought he had seen true peace with his own eyes, but in the end, it was just a hypocritical illusion.

"Eh?" Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration hit Torifu: "If I could just kill Madara Uchiha directly, making it impossible for him to awaken the Rinnegan! Wouldn't that prevent all those messy things from happening later?"

Torifu's reasoning actually made sense. If Madara Uchiha died, or failed to awaken the Rinnegan, Black Zetsu's plan would be very difficult to succeed.

Madara had only awakened the Rinnegan shortly before his death by biting off a piece of Hashirama's flesh and using Izanagi to cheat death.

However, Torifu wasn't entirely sure; perhaps if Madara Uchiha were gone, Black Zetsu would just find someone else to complete the plan.

All he could do was his best. After all, what did the chaos of the world have to do with him? As long as he protected his own little corner of Konoha, that was enough.

Moreover, his strength was constantly growing. Even if there were real danger in the future, he could keep Konoha peaceful forever.

Having figured this out, Torifu stopped worrying about it. With this time, he might as well learn a few more ninjutsu.

It is worth mentioning that Torifu had now been awarded a ninja headband by Hashirama and was an official ninja of Konoha!

A genius ninja at only seven years old, he was the talk of the entire village. Plus, being the disciple of the Hokage, countless noble clans were scrambling to curry favor with him.

Torifu didn't feel particularly disgusted by this; after all, everyone was from the same village, and having good relationships never hurt.

Although there was always the saying that "only a living genius is a genius," warning everyone not to be too sharp-edged to avoid trouble.

But with Torifu's current strength, there were probably few who could successfully assassinate him.

In this past year, not only had Torifu's chakra reached 5 units, but his strength had also reached the top tier of jonin, and he had developed many survival ninjutsu.

This led to a situation where Torifu would win more often than not when sparring with Hiruzen and the others, making Hiruzen and Danzo not even want to spar with him anymore.

After all, it was quite embarrassing for a seventeen-year-old ninja to be beaten by a seven-year-old!
