Land of Fire, Konoha.

The compound of the Nara Clan.

As a major ninja clan of Konoha, the Nara Clan naturally occupies a central position within the village.

Located in the central area of the compound, within a spacious courtyard, one can see all kinds of training equipment fully stocked.

Many of them are worn and damaged, clearly showing signs of frequent use.

The Nara Clan is naturally famous throughout the ninja world.

Beyond the reputation of the famous Konoha trio, Ino-Shika-Cho, the Nara Clan has served as the long-standing advisors to the Hokage lineage.

Relying on these two points, intelligence regarding the Nara Clan frequently appears on the desks of the Kage in other ninja villages.

As for the medicinal herb industry operated by the Nara Clan, it seems insignificant in this world that prides itself on military might.

However, whether it is the Nara Clan's positioning within Ino-Shika-Cho or their appearance as advisors, all members of the Nara Clan are known for their intelligence and wisdom.

Only in this generation, before the main branch of the Nara family head had grown up, did an anomaly emerge.

That is Nara Dan.

Walking past the cluttered front yard, a tall figure could be seen sitting cross-legged in the room.

Nara Dan was dressed in a black ninja outfit.

His physique was tall and lean, his features rugged and profound, and his eyes contained a divine light that shone brightly even in the dark environment.

Nara Dan sat with his legs crossed, his back straight, revealing extreme flexibility.

Running along the center line of his body were muscles as hard as refined iron.

The slightly tight ninja suit was stretched taut by Nara Dan, revealing an exaggerated muscular physique.

The well-defined muscles rose and fell with Nara Dan's calm breathing, forming a silent sense of intimidation.

This was the freak of the Nara Clan praised by the world.

Contrary to other Nara clansmen who are known for their wisdom and Shadow Secret Technique, Nara Dan had displayed unparalleled talent in taijutsu since he was young.

Powerful strength, exquisite taijutsu, and a terrifying body that was impervious to swords and spears and could even withstand ninjutsu, all became synonymous with "freak," "flesh monster," and "anomaly."

Fortunately, this ninja world values strength; no matter how strange you are, Whether you believe in evil gods, undergo biological modification, turn into a toad, or turn into a white snake, as long as you are strong enough, no one will say anything about you.

Therefore, Nara Dan's life since his transmigration has been very good, even bordering on luxurious.

Nara Dan slowly picked up a blue-black blocky object from the ground and put it into his mouth to chew, unexpectedly emitting the clashing sound of metal.

And that blue-black object was none other than a piece of refined iron!

"System."

Nara Dan slowly whispered in his heart.

Naturally, his current achievements were definitely related to his tireless efforts day and night; there was no such thing as cheating.

Host: Nara Dan Talent Traits: (Gold) Otherworld Visitor: You come from another world and possess unfathomable potential. Otherworld Visitor Ability 1: When you transmigrate to a new world, you can randomly obtain a talent trait of at least purple quality. Otherworld Visitor Ability 2: You can sacrifice luck to transmigrate to other worlds. (Purple) Metal-Devouring: You have a gluttonous chewing and digestive ability. Even metal or toxic compounds can be consumed as food. Similarly, your ability to fully extract nutrients from food far exceeds that of ordinary people. (Blue) Copper Head Iron Bone: Years of digesting and absorbing metal have given your body certain metallic properties. Ordinary physical or elemental attacks find it difficult to harm you. (Blue) Taijutsu Mastery: Years of tempering your body and fighting humans have made you incredibly proficient in human mechanics, human anatomy, and combat game theory. On Earth, you are Ip Man; in the ninja world, you are Might Guy. (Blue) Blood Energy Pillar: Years of polishing your physical strength and digesting and absorbing high-energy medicinal herbs have made your physical fitness superior to the vast majority of humans, possessing strength that ordinary people cannot reach. It is no exaggeration to call you an Overlord reborn.

As Nara Dan slowly swallowed the last bite of refined iron, the blue light on the Copper Head Iron Bone trait flashed, indicating that this trait was being strengthened or taking effect.

This was the reason why Nara Dan's life could be called luxurious. Aside from the gold-tier Otherworld Visitor ability which was innate, The purple Metal-Devouring trait was drawn by the Otherworld Visitor ability when he first arrived in this world.

The other traits could be said to have been cultivated by Nara Dan day and night.

Correspondingly, not to mention the daily rich medicinal herbs and food supplements to replenish energy, At his peak, digesting over a hundred pounds of refined iron every month was an expense unimaginable to ordinary people.

Only the Nara Clan, one of the few families in Konoha that also controlled the village's medicinal herb business, could supply Nara Dan in this way.

It was also fortunate that Nara Dan was born into the united Nara Clan.

If one were born into the branch family of the Hyuga, that could be called a hellish start, a path fraught with difficulty.

"Sigh."

Looking at the rather flashy system interface, Nara Dan felt no joy, but rather a sense of frustration.

Because this interface had remained unchanged for nearly half a year.

Compared to the days of rapid progress in his strength over the past few years, the current snail-like pace of his cultivation left Nara Dan feeling a massive psychological gap.

"A bottleneck, huh?"

"It seems the planning for that thing really needs to be put on the agenda."

There are quite a few good things in the ninja world, and as someone who knows the plot, Nara Dan had a clear idea of them.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A crisp sound of knocking echoed, and a pineapple-head appeared before Nara Dan.

"Big Brother Dan, the clan is summoning you for a meeting."

Nara Dan's expression remained completely calm, as if he had long expected the pineapple-head to appear.

"Got it."

Nara Dan didn't make the slightest movement to stand up; instead, relying almost vertically on the subtle support of his leg muscles, he hoisted his body upright.

The pineapple-head to the side grinned.

"Hey, hey, hey, even though it's not the first time I've seen it, my amazement never diminishes in the slightest."

"Seriously, is a movement like that really possible without relying on chakra?"

Nara Shikaku put on an exaggerated expression, looking utterly astounded.

Generally speaking, the adhesive ability provided by chakra is enough to allow a ninja to stand on the surface of water, but standing straight up relying purely on leg strength is an entirely different concept.

Nara Dan chuckled softly, saying with a tone of exasperation, "If you diligently followed the taijutsu plan I laid out for you, a movement like this would be easy."

"But you lazy guy inherited the habits of the Nara, and you simply refuse to put in the hard work on taijutsu."

"Don't bother trying to sweet-talk me here."

Unlike the Shikaku of the Ino-Shika-Cho who would later shine brilliantly on the battlefield, the current Nara Shikaku was still a youth who had just graduated, quite green behind the ears.

"Who is a monster like you?"

Nara Shikaku argued back, unconvinced, his face showing his disapproval, though his voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

Of course, this "inaudible" only applied to ordinary people; with Nara Dan's hearing, such muttering was no different from speaking right into his ear.

To this, Nara Dan only gave a light smile, neither confirming nor denying.

New author, new book, seeking recommendations and follows, thank you.
