Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 4

Afterward, Hyuga Nami distributed the remaining takoyaki to the other students.

The students found the taste excellent and cheered one after another, expressing great approval of her culinary skills.

Not long after, the homeroom teacher arrived in the classroom. His name was Watanabe Yu, a young man in his early twenties, tall and thin, with an ordinary appearance that made him the type to go unnoticed in a crowd; he possessed the strength of a Chunin.

The following segment was nothing more than the students introducing themselves to one another.

With over thirty people, it took more than an hour to finish the introductions.

Once the introductions were complete, the homeroom teacher, Watanabe Yu, began the lecture.

The curriculum was simple, focusing mainly on introducing the strength of the five great hidden villages in the ninja world.

There are five powerful nations in the Naruto world.

Each corresponds to one of the five powerful hidden villages.

As of now, Hidden Leaf Village remains the most powerful village.

It has seen the emergence of powerful ninjas such as Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Namikaze Minato, and it even possesses the most powerful Nine-Tails jinchuriki, making it the undisputed number one hidden village.

Although Hidden Leaf Village lost the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails jinchuriki Kushina after the Nine-Tails incident, in terms of overall strength, it still belongs to the first tier.

Second is Kumogakure, followed by Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure.

However, at this moment, Kumogakure possesses the Fourth Raikage and Killer B, who can freely control the power of the Eight-Tails Gyuki, so its strength is already catching up to Hidden Leaf Village.

The weakest in terms of strength is Sunagakure, which is located in the desert.

Although the Third Shinobi World War has been over for some time and the ninja world is in a relatively peaceful era, this is only peace on the surface; in reality, undercurrents are surging.

Among the five great nations, only the Land of Fire has the most fertile soil, filled with hills and plains, making it the most suitable for growing food, while the land of the other four nations is very barren.

The Land of Wind, in particular, is situated entirely within a desert.

Ninjas who are neither well-fed nor warm can only obtain everything they desire through war; peace is merely fleeting.

The morning classes ended quickly.

Genya ate the bento he had brought with him.

The afternoon consisted of simple training sessions.

For example, chakra extraction classes, physical fitness classes, and taijutsu classes; although Genya had already roughly mastered these, he still studied them seriously while keeping a low profile.

On the first day of school, the session ended with the homeroom teacher Watanabe Yu calling out, "Class dismissed."

Most of the students cheered and put on their backpacks, heading home in twos and threes.

Just as Genya wanted to pick up his backpack and leave, a cold voice rang out from behind him.

"That Uchiha guy, the future Hokage-sama is going to challenge you!"

Chapter 5: Sarutobi Taro

"Challenge me?"

"Who did I offend?"

Genya looked up in surprise and followed the sound, only to see a little fatty blocking the doorway with an indifferent expression, staring at him with piercing eyes full of contempt.

The little fatty was not tall, with a tiger-headed, brainy look; his feigned ferocity only made him appear honest and adorable.

Genya frowned.

His memory was very good.

He vaguely remembered that this little fatty was named Sarutobi Taro.

He belonged to the same clan as the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Ever since Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Hokage of the Leaf, the status of his Sarutobi clan had risen accordingly.

It had currently developed into one of the top clans in the Leaf.

There were many people in the clan.

And quite a few experts as well.

Influenced by the environment of his clan, Sarutobi Taro had long since developed unfriendly feelings toward the Uchiha clan.

There was only one Uchiha in Class 1-3, which was Genya.

Thus, Genya was very unlucky to become the target of this "favor."

"Sarutobi-kun, we are all classmates, you shouldn't be like this!" Before Genya could speak, Hyuga Nami, who had not yet left, hurriedly ran in front of Sarutobi Taro and pleaded with him.

"Everyone is a classmate; we should become good friends in the future and get along well."

Sarutobi Taro turned his face away and snorted, "This is a matter between me and that Uchiha guy; it has nothing to do with your Hyuga clan."

"Move aside!"

He was arrogant and conceited, like a proud rooster.

"Why are you challenging me?" Genya asked slowly, puzzled. He had kept a low profile in class all day, so how had he managed to provoke a young master of the Sarutobi clan?

He didn't understand.

Sarutobi Taro said coolly.

"The Uchiha possess the Sharingan and boast of having the strongest bloodline in Konoha. Today, I want to see if that reputation is truly deserved."

"Come on!"

"Let me witness the power of your Sharingan!"

After saying this.

Sarutobi Taro spread his legs, one in front of the other, and struck a flamboyant, chuunibyou combat pose.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Genya immediately offered a triple denial.

The Sharingan was certainly powerful, but the Uchiha wouldn't be so arrogant as to claim it was the strongest bloodline in Konoha. Wouldn't that be disregarding the First Hokage's Wood Release bloodline?

"Superfluous explanations always seem pale and weak!"

"You are destined to become a stepping stone on my path to becoming Hokage!"

"If you go around saying you were defeated by Lord Taro in the future, you'll have something to be proud of!" Sarutobi Taro said with an air of old-fashioned pomposity.

After pondering for a moment, Genya replied, "How about this: the Sharingan is the trashiest bloodline there is. I concede. Can I go back now?"

Genya was confident he could defeat this chubby kid in one move, but the boy was from the Sarutobi clan. The thing he feared most was beating the small fry only for the old guard to show up. If he really caused trouble and Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped in for this kid, Fugaku wouldn't be able to protect him.

Better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Figure out the situation first.

Can't I just avoid this?

"What?" Sarutobi Taro stumbled, his footing unsteady. His eyes widened as he stared at Genya in disbelief.

This involved the dignity of two clans, yet the other party didn't care at all?

"Do you have no sense of clan honor?" Sarutobi Taro asked angrily.

"Clan honor? Can you eat it?" Genya asked unhurriedly.

It was just a scuffle between two little brats, yet it had escalated to the level of clan honor.

Is there something wrong with your brain?

"If you don't accept my challenge today, I won't let you leave. I'll just wait you out!" Sarutobi Taro's bulky frame blocked the doorway as he sneered.

Fortunately, only the three of them were left, otherwise the scene would have been extremely awkward. Chuunibyou teenagers are truly difficult to deal with!

After thinking for a while.

A faint smile curled at the corners of Genya's mouth.

"Accepting your challenge isn't impossible!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Sarutobi Taro's eyes lit up. His opinion of Genya shifted slightly; it seemed the other boy had some backbone after all!

"Tonight at 10:00 PM, at the clearing behind the Hokage Rock, we shall settle this!"

"As a proud Uchiha, how could I be scared off by a few words from you!" Genya snorted coldly, speaking with great momentum!

"Good! Whoever doesn't show up is a pig!" Sarutobi Taro was overjoyed. Genya's subsequent performance made him think a little higher of him.

"Fine, tonight I will definitely let you witness the power of the Sharingan!" Genya signaled that he would absolutely accept the challenge.

Tonight, the decisive battle at the summit of the Hokage Rock!

Sarutobi Taro suddenly raised an eyebrow, realizing the time was quite late. "Why 10:00 PM? Can't it be earlier?"

Genya replied, "I need to go back and rest, to recharge my energy and meet your challenge in the best possible state of mind!"

"Good!"

Sarutobi Taro nodded in delight, accepting Genya's explanation.

Beside them, Hyuga Nami clenched her small fists, her heart filled with anxiety and unease.

"If I go tell the teacher, they will definitely be punished. No, I can't report them. If I tell, they will definitely hate me."

"They are both from prestigious Konoha clans; they should know how to pull their punches. I'll sneak out tonight and watch them. If something goes wrong, I can help immediately."

"Yes, that's decided. You can do it, Nami!" Hyuga Nami cheered herself on internally!

With his schoolbag on his back.

Genya walked slowly toward his clan's district. People came and went on the street, and many villagers pointed at him in secret; some even looked at him with undisguised disgust.

Genya didn't care.

Returning to the Uchiha district, the atmosphere changed significantly, and many people greeted him with kindness.

The Uchiha appeared cold on the outside, but in reality, most of the clansmen were very warm-hearted, often helping each other and remaining extremely united.

Except for those two lunatics, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito.

Returning to his courtyard residence.

Genya began preparing his own dinner.

Some simple vegetables and cheap cuts of meat.

After dinner, he took a comfortable bath.

It was not yet 9 o'clock.

Genya was already lying in bed.

Young people still need to sleep early and rise early.

Did I forget something? Genya turned on his side, slightly stunned, before comforting himself, It's probably just because I'm tired.

"Time to sleep!"

He closed his eyes and drifted off into dreamland.

11 o'clock at night.

The mountain behind Hokage Rock.

"I've been waiting for an hour; why hasn't Uchiha Genya arrived yet? Could it be that he's afraid?"

"As expected, the Uchiha clan are all cowards!"

At this moment, Sarutobi Taro was standing on the summit behind Hokage Rock, gritting his teeth, his face full of rage looking for an outlet.

"If he doesn't show up by 12 o'clock, I'll deal with him when I go back tomorrow!"

Behind a rock in the distance, Hyuga Nami was hiding. She had snuck out under the cover of night; because she was not a member of the main family, the restrictions on her were not as strict.

"Why hasn't Genya come?"
