Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 3

This directly resulted in Genya having 50 pounds of body weight and 49.99 pounds of rebellious spirit.

Today is the opening ceremony.

After tidying up and packing his bento, Genya changed into the new clothes and backpack Mikoto had purchased for him, then pushed open the door and stepped out.

The brilliant sunlight was blinding.

Genya narrowed his eyes, and the moment he turned, he saw Itachi leaning against the wall; he seemed to have been waiting there for a while.

"What are you doing here?" Genya asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Father knows you aren't familiar with the school, so he asked me to accompany you," Itachi said expressionlessly, his tone flat.

Genya gave an "oh" and the two set off toward the Ninja Academy.

The Uchiha compound is located on the outskirts of the village, while the Ninja Academy is in the heart of Konoha, requiring over half an hour to walk there.

Itachi was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you think that one day, if the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha continues to escalate, there will... be a war?"

Itachi is very smart.

He knows the friction between Konoha and the Uchiha is intensifying, but as a young boy, he is powerless to change it, and a sense of helplessness has begun to rise within him.

"Who knows? Leave it to fate," Genya said calmly, hands behind his head, gazing up at the sky.

He certainly couldn't say:

Hey, Itachi!

Seven years from now, are you going to slaughter your parents for the sake of the village?

The journey continued in silence.

The two walked toward the Ninja Academy.

The streets were bustling with people.

Genya did not resist entering the Ninja Academy to learn.

On the contrary.

Genya believed that only by systematically studying the knowledge of the ninja world could he better survive in this world where the weak are prey to the strong.

However, once one graduates from the Ninja Academy to become a genin, they must accept the arrangements of Konoha's upper echelons.

Not only must they accept various dangerous missions, but if a war breaks out, they must also head to the battlefield.

During Naruto Uzumaki's first escort mission, he encountered the jōnin Zabuza of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and Haku, who possessed a Kekkei Genkai.

If it weren't for Naruto using the power of the Nine-Tails in his rage at the end, Sasuke might have already died at Haku's hands.

The ninja world is very dangerous.

Fortunately, Genya has a system!

After walking for a full half-hour, Genya and Itachi finally arrived at the gate of the Ninja Academy.

Itachi glanced at Genya with slight surprise.

Under Fugaku's guidance, Itachi had been training for over two years and possessed excellent physical stamina, remaining composed even after walking for over an hour.

However, Itachi was well aware of Genya's family situation, and seeing him not even out of breath, he found Genya's physical fitness to be beyond his expectations.

How could Itachi know?

After Genya awakened his Sage Body to Level 1, his physical fitness increased significantly, and his stamina was far superior to his own.

He could even run dozens or hundreds of laps around the Uchiha training grounds.

Following the signs, the two arrived at the school playground.

It was already packed with a sea of people.

Three minutes later.

An old man wearing a haori, surrounded by senior school officials, walked slowly toward the red-carpeted podium; he was the Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Behind him were three other elders: Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu—all high-ranking figures of Konoha.

As Hiruzen appeared, deafening cheers erupted throughout the field.

A gratified smile appeared on Hiruzen's aged face.

"Parents, new students, hello everyone. I am the Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen. I am here to welcome you all!"

Instantly.

The field erupted into thunderous applause once more.

It was deafening.

On the podium, Hiruzen gently pressed his hand down, and the crowd below fell silent in an instant.

"Where the leaves of Konoha dance, fire will continue to burn. The fire's light will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout..."

He spoke with great emotion, explaining the meaning of the Will of Fire to the new students below.

Many new students heard this emotionally charged speech, their expressions stirred and their fists clenched, hoping to become powerful ninjas to protect the Hidden Leaf Village and carry out the ideology of the Will of Fire.

Regarding this, Uchiha Genya felt sleepy and even let out a yawn.

Does the burning of the Hidden Leaf really illuminate the new sprouts?

Are you sure?

Over the past year of personal experience, Genya had come to a clear realization: the so-called Will of Fire was nothing but empty words.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, the highest leader of the village, and everything he did had to be considered from the perspective of the village's interests.

His beloved disciple, Orochimaru, had captured hundreds of people for human experimentation, including many young children.

For a person whose crimes were too numerous to record, Hiruzen ultimately chose to let him go.

In Hiruzen's perception, Orochimaru was his favorite and most gifted disciple; perhaps he would realize his mistakes and change.

Hiruzen gave Orochimaru a chance.

But who gave those dead villagers a chance?

Yet, toward the Uchiha, one of the founding clans of the Hidden Leaf, Hiruzen displayed a different kind of ruthlessness.

For the sake of so-called peace in the ninja world, he sanctimoniously demanded that Itachi exterminate his own clan.

The high-ranking officials of the Hidden Leaf had long been viewing the Uchiha through tinted glasses.

If it weren't for their constant pressure and deliberate obstruction, how could the Uchiha have been driven to the point of wanting to rebel?

Is this what Sarutobi Hiruzen calls the Will of Fire?

Genya sneered in disdain!

The atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly fervent.

Many students were shouting "Long live the Third Hokage."

Genya followed suit, shouting until his voice was hoarse, "Long live the Third Hokage!"

This is called doing as the locals do...

Ninja Academy

A full hour passed.

Amidst the deafening applause of the crowd, Hiruzen ended his speech with a smile, and his final bow of gratitude garnered even more cheers.

This made Genya, who was standing until his waist ached, sigh; it turned out that our Lord Third Hokage could not only wield a massive Ruyi Staff with ease, but his eloquence was also extraordinary.

The opening ceremony concluded, and the parents behind the playground, guided by school teachers, left the Ninja Academy.

According to the previous class assignments, Genya and Itachi returned to their respective classrooms, though the two were in different grades.

Genya was in Class 3, Year 1, while Itachi was in Class 1, Year 1.

Because Itachi was exceptionally gifted and graduated from the Ninja Academy at seven, the academy was merely a transitional place for him.

It was true that Genya's strength was formidable, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to graduate early.

Better to upgrade his Kekkei Genkai first!

Genya walked into the classroom and found many gazes falling upon him, some mixed with traces of hostility.

The Uchiha's reputation was not great, and since he was wearing the clan uniform, others knew his identity.

Genya ignored them, his gaze calm as he walked toward his seat near the corridor.

After sitting down, he began to observe everything in the classroom.

His classmates came from various clans.

There was the Inuzuka clan, with a small white dog perched on their heads.

The Akimichi clan, eating and drinking heartily, crunching loudly on potato chips.

The Nara clan, who used shadow secret techniques.

Including the Yamanaka, Aburame, and other clans...

"Hello classmate, could you let me in?" Not long after Genya sat down, a little girl gathered her courage and spoke to him.

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl lowered her head again; she didn't dare look Genya in the eye, appearing quite socially anxious.

"Oh, sure, go ahead." Genya stood up nonchalantly, clearing a path for the girl to enter, and introduced himself at the same time.

"My name is Uchiha Genya, please take care of me."

"Hello, Genya-kun, my name is Hyuga Nami." The girl spoke softly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's.

As soon as she finished, Hyuga Nami's face flushed red, and as she answered, Genya was able to see the girl's appearance clearly.

Hyuga Nami was very pretty, with a heart-shaped face, fair skin, large, sparkling eyes, and smooth, black hair. When she pursed her lips to smile, there were two faint dimples on her cheeks; it was clear she was a budding beauty.

What was most striking were her pure white eyes, flawless and clear.

"The Hyuga clan!" Genya shifted his gaze away from the girl's eyes, murmuring to himself.

The Hyuga clan was one of the founding families that joined the Hidden Leaf Village during the early days of the Land of Fire, and they possessed a Kekkei Genkai known as the Byakugan.

To protect their precious Byakugan, the Hyuga clan is divided into the Main House and the Branch House.

The Main House inherits the bloodline Byakugan through the generations, wielding supreme authority and possessing the power to brand the foreheads of Branch House members with the Caged Bird curse seal to keep them under control.

To deal with a member of the Branch House, the Main House need only a single thought to activate the Caged Bird seal and destroy the nerves in the victim's brain.

It is, in every sense, absolute control over the life and death of the Branch House.

The Caged Bird mark is the proof of the Hyuga Main House's power, but it is also the symbol of the Branch House's shame.

Genya observed a white ribbon wrapped around Hyuga Nami's forehead; when she realized he was looking at her, she lowered her head involuntarily, appearing deeply insecure.

Hyuga Nami must be from the Branch House, Genya sighed slightly, feeling a touch of sympathy for her.

After all, the Caged Bird is a hideous mark.

While Genya was distracted, Hyuga Nami took a pink lunch box from her bag, and a faint, pleasant aroma began to drift through the air.

"Genya-kun, I made these takoyaki myself. Please, have some."

"My mother said that since I'm attending the Ninja Academy, I should get along well with my classmates. I'm still young and don't have much pocket money, so I had to make some takoyaki myself!"

"My cooking might not be very good, so please forgive me if it doesn't taste right."

After speaking, she placed the cute pink box in front of Genya, looking pitiful and full of anticipation.

Genya was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected her to prepare snacks. She was very thoughtful!

"I'll have a taste!" Picking up a bamboo skewer, Genya speared a piece of takoyaki.

"This is delicious!"

Genya quickly ate two more, unable to stop himself from giving her a thumbs-up!

Hyuga Nami's cooking was truly excellent.

"Really?" Hearing the praise, Hyuga Nami beamed with joy. "My mother said my cooking was good enough to open a stall, and I didn't believe her before, but now I do!"
