Naruto: God-Tier System Chapter 23

Seeing this, Hyuga Shin quickly stepped forward to interrupt Ueno Juri, who was about to lose his temper.

"I'll give it a try, too." Hyuga Shin pulled out a kunai, looping it around his finger and spinning it twice.

"It's actually Shin! He's definitely going to be better than Uchiha Ken and Senju Nawaki."

"That's right, a guy as handsome as Shin must be way stronger than those two ugly losers."

The fangirls in the class chattered incessantly, hearts in their eyes, elevating Hyuga Shin while simultaneously belittling Uchiha Ken and Nawaki.

Hearing this, Uchiha Ken and Nawaki turned green in the face; they admitted they weren't as handsome as Hyuga Shin, but how were they "ugly losers"? They weren't exactly hideous.

"Hmph! A piece of trash from the Hyuga Clan who doesn't even have the Byakugan, yet you all fawn over him like this," Uchiha Ken said, consumed by jealousy.

"What? How dare he insult my idol! Sisters, let's beat him up!"

Ueno Juri hurried over to stop the frenzied girls, muttering to himself, "Little girls these days are so precocious. Why didn't I get this kind of treatment back then?"

As a twenty-something single man, Ueno Juri was incredibly envious of Hyuga Shin.

Facing this scene, Hyuga Shin felt quite smug. In his past life, he was just a nobody; even though he was handsome, good looks didn't put food on the table.

He had even been relentlessly targeted by his former idiot boss simply because he was better-looking.

Spinning the kunai twice more, he flicked it out, and even Ueno Juri, a Chunin, only caught a glimpse of a blurred afterimage.

"BOOM!"

The wooden target shattered, and the kunai Hyuga Shin had thrown continued to fly forward until it embedded itself deep into the wall in the distance.

"This..."

Ueno Juri felt his throat go dry; if that kunai had been aimed at him, he wasn't sure he could have reacted in time.

He couldn't even describe this level of power and speed, looking at Hyuga Shin as if he were a freak of nature.

"Shin is so amazing," Mikoto whispered.

"I knew my idol was the best! I want to have Shin's babies!"

"Get lost, Shin is mine!"

"This has to be fake, right?" Senju Nawaki's expression was exaggerated, though in his heart, he didn't truly believe Hyuga Shin was that strong.

But looking at that thrown kunai now, it could absolutely kill him in an instant... this was already equivalent to a piercing-type ninjutsu.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Hyuga Shin retreated with a calm, indifferent expression, though he was actually quite satisfied with the way he had stolen the show—from this, one could tell that Hyuga Shin was a bit of a closet show-off.

Uchiha Ken felt as if an invisible slap had landed on his face, stinging with heat.

"Ahem! Since a student has already demonstrated, and most of you probably don't know how yet, I will explain the technique to you."

Ueno Juri pulled the topic back on track; he was here to teach students, not to watch these kids from wealthy, prestigious families show off.

After an afternoon of kunai training, Ueno Juri announced the end of class.

After saying goodbye to Mikoto and the others he was familiar with, Hyuga Shin chose to head home alone rather than returning with the rest of the Hyuga clan.

"The Ninja Academy is truly boring! When will I be able to learn something actually useful?" Hyuga Shin muttered listlessly.

At the Ninja Academy, what Hyuga Shin really wanted to learn were the seemingly useless theoretical concepts, not these basic fundamentals.

When it came to basics, Hyuga Shin's foundation was firmer than anyone else's; what he lacked were theoretical insights and real combat experience.

Back home, Hyuga Shin flexed his fingers and began practicing hand seals; the current Hyuga Shin could perform five seals in under a second.

Counting the twenty-plus years from his previous life, plus his current age, Hyuga Shin had lived for nearly thirty years, and he had been single for thirty years—this hand speed was no exaggeration.

After practicing his seals, Hyuga Shin took a shower, dispelled his Shadow Clone, and collapsed onto his bed, exhausted.

"I feel like my mental energy has surged quite a bit!"

Every time he pushed his mind to the point of exhaustion, Hyuga Shin could feel his mental energy strengthening slightly.

After resting for a while, Hyuga Shin entered the System Space.

"System, can you give me a free draw? I wouldn't mind some exchange points either, just give me whatever you think is fair," Hyuga Shin shamelessly pleaded.

The system ignored Hyuga Shin.

"Sigh!" After a sigh, Hyuga Shin asked curiously, "System, you should follow the law of conservation of energy, right? If you don't let me do anything, how are you giving me rewards?"

[The existence of the system is not something the host can understand at this time. This system does not follow the law of conservation of energy; do not attempt to measure the system with science.]

"Ugh! It doesn't even follow the law of conservation of energy." Hyuga Shin scratched his head, unable to fathom how the system operated.

He gave up on it entirely; he couldn't even fully grasp ninjutsu, let alone the system.

"System, since you've finally popped up, just give me a little something!" Hyuga Shin said, thick-skinned.

One had to be thick-skinned to get by in life; those with thin skin wouldn't get anywhere—this was a truth Hyuga Shin had realized before he transmigrated.

A long time passed, and the system remained silent. Hyuga Shin didn't mind; if the system had actually given him something, he would have found it strange.

[The system has gifted you three draw chances and 100,000 exchange points. Please accept them.]

"Holy crap! Am I hallucinating?" Hyuga Shin said in disbelief.

Right now, Hyuga Shin felt like he had just won a multi-million dollar lottery; a massive pie had suddenly fallen from the sky and landed right on his head.

If this pie had been tossed by someone else, he might have paused to consider if it were poisoned, but since it was tossed by the System, Hyuga Shin would never doubt it.

Because everything he possessed had been given to him by the System, a fact Hyuga Shin would never forget; he knew exactly what he would be without it, and for that reason alone, he trusted the System implicitly.

"I didn't expect that if I asked, it would actually give it to me. This System is truly conscientious."

"Come to think of it, the System has never introduced itself. I don't even know what kind of System this is."

In truth, it wasn't that Hyuga Shin hadn't asked, but the System had never answered.

"Regardless, thank you, System. You are a truly conscientious System. If I could leave a like, I'd give you ten thousand." He thanked it while showering the System with praise.

If he could make the System happy and get a pile of rewards in return, wouldn't that be even better? In any case, buttering up the System could never be wrong.

Chapter 24 Ryujin Jakka

After a flurry of praise toward the System, Hyuga Shin opened the lottery page, ready to draw.

When it came to the lottery, Hyuga Shin always used his chances as soon as he got them; unlike exchange points, there was no point in hoarding lottery attempts.
