Naruto: God-Level System

"That's right, Minato! Even though you're recognized as the genius of our class, but..." Ueno Juri stopped himself, fearing that if he said what was on his mind, it would crush Minato Namikaze's confidence.

In truth, while Minato had great talent, his actual strength was definitely outside the top ten in the class.

Because Minato came from a civilian family and his parents were not ninjas, his starting point was naturally behind those from the great clans.

Although Minato was gifted, he had only been training for half a year, and there was simply no comparison between him and the clan students who had started training a year earlier and possessed all sorts of resources.

Perhaps in a year or two, Minato would be able to surpass them, but for now, there was definitely a gap.

Minato Namikaze and Mikoto Uchiha were the two students Ueno Juri found the least troublesome, and they were both very talented; he didn't want Minato to become discouraged and give up because of a setback.

"Forget it, Minato. Go find Nawaki! Both of your goals are to become Hokage, wouldn't it be better to spar together?"

Hyuga Shin shook his head. It was undeniable that the future Minato would be very strong, but that was the future; the current Minato was pitifully weak, to the point where Hyuga Shin didn't even have the heart to bully him.

"Exactly! How about the two of us spar?" Nawaki looked at Minato, full of spirit.

Nawaki's gaze made it difficult for Minato to refuse, and he had originally wanted to test his own strength, so he readily agreed.

"You two be careful, don't get hurt, and don't let it sour your friendship." Ueno Juri didn't object to the two sparring, but he still offered a word of caution.

"And you, I really don't understand what the point of your training is. You're practically just slacking off and wasting your talent."

Turning his head, Ueno Juri scolded Hyuga Shin. He had already said this to him several times, but Hyuga Shin had never listened once.

He clearly possessed natural divine strength, yet he wouldn't train properly and instead just went through the motions—that was how Ueno Juri saw Hyuga Shin.

Hyuga Shin smiled, unmoved, and continued to repeat his slow, deliberate sword swings.

His swordsmanship was built on speed; under the immense gravity, it appeared slow, but once released, it would surely be earth-shattering.

When he obtained Ryujin Jakka, all of its abilities—including the Nadeshiko technique that the old man Yamamoto could unleash without even needing to release his Zanpakuto—were fully inherited by Hyuga Shin.

Although Hyuga Shin's swordsmanship might be considered immature if placed in the worlds of One Piece or Bleach, in this Naruto world where swordsmanship was not particularly strong, he was already standing at the pinnacle.

When it came to swordsmanship in the Naruto world, even the White Fang of Konoha, Hatake Sakumo, might not necessarily be able to compare to Hyuga Shin.

The swordsmanship of the Naruto world relied mostly on chakra for a sudden burst of power, but in terms of other techniques, it was somewhat lacking.

Of course, this was just Hyuga Shin's own understanding; he hadn't truly seen the swordsmanship of the Naruto world, so it was hard to judge.

After all, there was still the Land of Iron, which made its living through swordsmanship; who knew if there were hidden sword masters there.

After two hours of training, Hyuga Shin stopped; if he kept going, his body wouldn't be able to take it.

He quickly deactivated the gravity and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The solid ground where he had been training had sunk down by an imperceptible amount.

Looking toward the nearby training ground, Mikoto was in a corner refining chakra by herself, and not far away, a group of people had gathered to watch a spar in the center.

Of course, it wasn't Nawaki and Minato, but Choza Akimichi and Uchiha Ken.

Although Uchiha Ken didn't get along with his classmates and would leave alone as soon as school ended, it was currently class time, so he was naturally here.

Having seen Nawaki defeat Minato in a very showy manner earlier, he couldn't suppress his own urge to show off.

So, he went up to challenge Nawaki, who had just defeated Minato. Nawaki, refusing to show weakness, accepted the challenge, and having already expended a significant amount of energy, Nawaki was defeated as expected.

Then, Uchiha Ken became extremely arrogant, challenging several classmates in a row and beating them until they were bruised and swollen.

Even Hizashi Hyuga was defeated by Uchiha Ken's Great Fireball Technique. Because he had used a ninjutsu, his momentum grew even greater, and he became increasingly arrogant.

His attitude naturally made everyone dissatisfied. If it weren't for Hyuga Shin, the decent-looking Uchiha Ken might have had a group of fangirls.

But now? One only had to look at the angry glares of the entire class to know.

With such an arrogant, condescending personality, who would like such a person if they didn't have an overwhelming advantage in looks?

Chapter 36: The Diligent Mikoto

"Fatty, you think you can defeat me? Go train for another hundred years! Hahaha." Uchiha Ken laughed wildly.

Anger +10086

Flames flickered in the depths of Choza Akimichi's eyes. He hated it most when others called him a fatty. He already disliked Uchiha Ken, and now he felt like he could kill him.

"You cocky bastard, take this!" A fist the size of a sandbag smashed toward Uchiha Ken's face.

"Hmph! You think a slow-moving fist like that can hit me?" Uchiha Ken dodged easily. Although he had already expended quite a bit of energy, he could still manage to avoid Choza Akimichi's slow punches.

Seeing Uchiha Ken dodge, a flash of insight crossed Choza Akimichi's small eyes.

Then, his massive frame lunged forward with lightning speed, directly tackling the showboating Uchiha Ken and pinning him beneath his body.

When it came to strength, Uchiha Ken was no match for the massive Choza Akimichi. Now pinned underneath him, he had no room to dodge.

He struck Choza Akimichi a few times with all his might, making Choza grimace, but then, enduring the pain, Choza landed a punch right on Uchiha Ken's face.

Choza Akimichi had thick fat that could reduce damage, but Uchiha Ken wasn't so lucky; he was caught and had his face beaten.

"Alright, that's enough from both of you." Ueno Juri stepped in to pull Choza Akimichi away.

After Choza Akimichi got up, he scratched his head and said to Shikaku Nara, "Your method really worked. Let's see if he dares to act so high and mighty again."

"This method wouldn't work against a real ninja. It's only because the teacher restricted weapons; otherwise, you'd have a few holes in you right now. Don't ever blindly charge in like that again in the future."

Shikaku Nara reminded him.

Choza Akimichi was only able to defeat Uchiha Ken because of the element of surprise; otherwise, it would have been very difficult for the slower Choza to beat Uchiha Ken.

"Teacher, I refuse to accept this."

Uchiha Ken said, feeling aggrieved. Having just been pinned beneath that massive frame, he had no room to maneuver and felt his defeat was incredibly unjust.

"In a real battle, no one is going to talk to you about that. If you're not satisfied, why don't we spar and see how it goes?" Hyuga Shin said as he stepped forward.

Seeing Hyuga Shin, a flicker of fear flashed in Uchiha Ken's eyes. If he still had chakra, he might have been a bit tougher, but his chakra had been exhausted earlier when he defeated Hizashi Hyuga with his Great Fireball Technique.

Relying solely on taijutsu, Uchiha Ken wouldn't dare challenge Hyuga Shin even if his life depended on it.

Casting a faint glance at Uchiha Ken, Hyuga Shin walked toward the corner where Mikoto was training.

"Mikoto, stop training. School is about to end."

Mikoto, who had been refining her chakra with her eyes closed, opened them and looked at Hyuga Shin with a slightly dazed, adorable expression.

Watching Mikoto's cute appearance, Hyuga Shin couldn't help but reach out and pinch her small cheek.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and then Mikoto stood up. Looking at the sun about to set, she couldn't help but complain, "How does time pass so quickly!"
