Naruto: God-Level System

Mikoto possessed remarkable talent and had already awakened her Sharingan. She had done so over a year ago, and Hyuga Shin was the only one who knew.

According to Mikoto, her Sharingan awakened at the time of her grandfather's passing.

Upon hearing this, although he was somewhat shocked that Mikoto had awakened her eyes so early, it was understandable; the loss of her only relative was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.

Under such emotional turmoil, combined with Mikoto's inherent talent, it was not impossible for her to awaken the Sharingan.

In the past, Mikoto would always keep him company with idle chatter, but now that she had gone off to train, Hyuga Shin found sitting idly rather dull, so he decided to train as well.

Hyuga Shin no longer subjected himself to grueling physical training; instead, he relied on the gravitational force of his Tenseigan.

By directly intensifying the gravity acting upon himself, he could effectively and rapidly improve his physical fitness in an all-encompassing manner, including his fragile internal organs.

As for ninjutsu training, he had basically left that to his Shadow Clones, and since Hyuga Shin didn't have many techniques to begin with, he had long since mastered them all.

The ocular abilities of the Tenseigan did not require training; as long as his chakra was sufficient, they were ready to use.

What Hyuga Shin needed to focus on now was his Armament Haki, Observation Haki, chakra refinement, the Glint-Glint Fruit, and swordsmanship.

Practicing swordsmanship allowed him to train his body and improve his physical fitness simultaneously, which was killing two birds with one stone.

The Glint-Glint Fruit required him to improve the cohesion and power of the light, which was quite troublesome, so Hyuga Shin decided to set it aside for now.

This was the only downside to having so many abilities—there was simply too much to train. If not for Hyuga Shin's exceptional talent, it would have been impossible to cultivate so many skills at once.

After the two-day break, school resumed. If the morning lectures were useless, Hyuga Shin would choose to refine his chakra.

In the afternoons, Hyuga Shin would usually walk to the side by himself and slowly swing his custom-made short blade.

There was no helping it; Hyuga Shin wanted to wield Ryujin Jakka, but he wasn't tall enough yet. Forcing himself to wield it would have looked ridiculous.

"I say, Shin, your sword swings are way too slow. Even an ordinary person could easily dodge them. It's completely useless; I really don't know why you insist on swinging that blade every day."

"Haha! You don't understand, Nawaki." Hyuga Shin chuckled.

The reason his swings were slow was that his body was under immense gravitational pressure. If Hyuga Shin were to deactivate the gravity, Nawaki wouldn't even be able to see him move.

"What do you mean I don't understand? You're always so mysterious. Let me tell you, I've already learned a ninjutsu, and I can actually perform it now."

Nawaki said with a proud expression.

"What? Nawaki actually learned a ninjutsu?"

"As expected of the Senju clan, truly powerful."

Nawaki didn't lower his voice, causing those nearby to look at him in shock.

"Oh? What kind of ninjutsu?" Hyuga Shin asked curiously.

"Watch as I demonstrate it for you all. This ninjutsu is incredibly powerful, so you'd better stand back."

Seeing the amazement of his classmates, Nawaki's desire to show off flared up.

"Nawaki, the school doesn't allow the use of ninjutsu," Shikaku poured cold water on him.

"It's fine. I'm here watching, so go ahead, Nawaki! It's a good chance for the teacher to see," Ueno Juri said as he walked over.

Nawaki, who thought he wouldn't be able to show off, became instantly excited. This was his perfect opportunity to shine and stun everyone.

Stepping forward, Nawaki began to weave hand seals, though his speed was truly nothing to brag about—it was at a snail's pace.

"Water Style: Water Wave!"

A stream of water sprayed from Nawaki's mouth, but a black line of disappointment crossed the foreheads of the expectant crowd.

Nawaki had indeed performed it, but the stream of water was so small... it could probably only drown an ant.

It might not even be able to drown an ant.

"Nawaki, are you sure you didn't use the legendary Water Style: Spit Jutsu?" Hyuga Shin asked skeptically.

"Teacher Ueno, is this the kind of ninjutsu we'll be using from now on? Can this kind of technique even hit anyone?"

Nawaki's face flushed red. If there had been a mouse hole, he would have crawled into it; it was just too embarrassing.

"I didn't perform it well this time. Watch, I'll do it again. I succeeded yesterday," Nawaki defended himself, then hurriedly attempted the ninjutsu again.

However, the more flustered he became, the more mistakes he made. This time, he didn't even spray a drop of water—it was even worse than the last attempt!

Chapter 35: Wasting Talent?

The onlookers were even more disappointed; they hadn't seen the effect they were hoping for at all.

"Ahem!" Ueno Juri coughed twice and said, "Nawaki, you aren't proficient with this ninjutsu yet, which is why this happened. Don't be discouraged; you're actually already very impressive."

"As long as you practice more, you will definitely be able to perform this ninjutsu. The teacher believes in you."

Ueno Juri offered words of encouragement to Nawaki.

"That's right, Nawaki, you're already very strong to be able to use ninjutsu. Even if it's a bit low-tier and can only drown ants, I think you could consider a career as an ant assassin," Hyuga Shin added his own 'encouragement.'

"Ah~~ You guy, are you praising me or belittling me?" Nawaki was furious.

Hyuga Shin looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a fool.

"You can't even tell? Obviously, I'm belittling you. You tell me, can the ninjutsu you just released be considered praiseworthy?"

Nawaki was speechless and forced a defense: "It was just a fluke! I clearly performed it yesterday, even my sister saw it. If you don't believe me, go ask her."

"You're asking if they believe it?" Hyuga Shin pointed at the crowd of onlookers.

"I believe in you, Nawaki!" Inoichi walked over and patted Nawaki on the shoulder.

"Really? Thank you so much, Inoichi." Seeing that someone believed in him, Nawaki was so moved he was on the verge of tears.

"I believe you absolutely won't be able to pull it off." After saying that, he ignored the petrified Nawaki and walked away with a mischievous smirk.

"Damn it! You all just wait, I will definitely prove it to you. I am going to become Hokage in the future; a mere ninjutsu is something I'll be able to perform perfectly in a few days."

Nawaki said viciously before running off to the side to sulk.

The crowd chuckled without saying anything. They understood Nawaki's personality; he would likely put this behind him in no time. To put it bluntly, he was just thick-skinned.

"Shin, let's have a spar!" Minato Namikaze smiled slightly and extended an invitation to Hyuga Shin.

"Hey, hey! I'm saying, Minato, have you lost your mind? That guy Shin has so much strength; with your scrawny frame, you'll definitely be punched straight into the hospital."

Before Hyuga Shin could say anything, Nawaki, who had been sulking by himself, jumped up and looked at Minato Namikaze as if he were an idiot.
