World Secret Treasure

"Uchiha Obito." Kamiya Keiyun silently noted it down on paper, then added four characters after it—Suspected Protagonist.

But he couldn't be certain yet. After all, there was still the Black Zetsu Rescues Mother arc later. If this guy were named Uchiha Black Zetsu, that would be a lock, but he wasn't.

Still, it wasn't out of the question. What if, after his mother was taken, he changed his name to commemorate his resolve?

Hence, "suspected"!

Moving on down the analysis: giant robots fighting aliens. He understood both giant robots and aliens, and combining them wasn't jarring—wasn't the movie Pacific Rim exactly that?

But placing it in the Naruto World felt a bit strange.

Kamiya Keiyun had lived in this world for five years now. Though he'd stayed in the countryside, rarely went out, and hadn't encountered much, he knew the tech level here was low. On Earth, it'd be around the 1920s. And Earth was already in 2021 with giant robots still nowhere in sight—how was this world supposed to build them?

Was the timeline really long, like seventy or eighty years later?

Not necessarily, though. Kamiya Keiyun knew supernatural forces existed here. If those forces were applied to construction, like in Knight & Magic, then giant robots might actually be built pretty quickly.

So the whole story logic was clear: a kid named Hyuga Black Zetsu, or Uchiha Black Zetsu, whose mother was captured by aliens, built a giant robot to save her!

Mm, sounded pretty passionate. No wonder it had been popular for so many years—it combined elements teens loved: passion, superpowers, giant robots, aliens. How could it not be a hit?

Next, study the popular characters.

Madara-sama. The name alone suggested an old scientist type, like a mischievous grandpa. He probably proposed the method of building giant robots to fight aliens and helped the protagonist create the mecha.

Snake Uncle. That name felt familiar—should be a life mentor, a spiritual guide, like Red-Hair was to Luffy in One Piece. If he got a chance to meet him, he could try to get on his good side, latch onto a strong backer, maybe even score some benefits.

Yūhi Kurenai. That sounded like a girl's name. Was she the heroine?

Kamiya Keiyun asked quietly, "Which one is Yūhi Kurenai?"

Kakashi shook his head. "Don't know!"

"Ah, oh." Kamiya Keiyun nodded. True, the heroine didn't always show up at the start. She could drop in later. As the saying went, childhood friends lose to sudden arrivals. Looking at that girl with paint on her face earlier, she might be the childhood friend.

"Do you know Snake Uncle?" Kamiya Keiyun asked again.

"Snake Uncle?" Kakashi was taken aback. He'd never heard that name, but an image instinctively surfaced in his mind—a ninja with golden eyes, licking his lips.

He shuddered involuntarily. "You mean one of the Three Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru-senpai?"

"Three Sannin? Orochimaru? He has a nickname?" Kamiya Keiyun asked. "Is he famous?"

"Of course. He's one of the Third Hokage's three disciples, incredibly strong! Very well-liked!" Kakashi said.

"Oh, oh, right. So Snake Uncle is him!" Kamiya Keiyun was a bit excited. Finally, he'd matched one up. He wondered what Snake Uncle liked—maybe he'd bring two catties of oranges and pay a visit?

What else could he do? He'd transmigrated here without any Golden Finger, it seemed. If he didn't latch onto someone's leg, what choice did he have?

As for that "brother-in-law," that was probably the heroine's brother or something, likely Yūhi Kurenai's brother. But since Kurenai hadn't appeared yet, asking was pointless.

He also knew some other Naruto quotes, like "How many floors can a bag of rice carry?" or "I acknowledge you as the strongest," or "My art is above yours." But those were random and useless, so Kamiya Keiyun didn't bother digging into them.

After sorting through the Naruto plot, Kamiya Keiyun finally felt more at ease and could focus on class.

He knew well that knowledge changes fate. After all, many side characters only favored the protagonist. If you were a nobody, they wouldn't spare you a glance.

What if Snake Uncle didn't take a liking to him? He'd have to rely on himself, right?

Just then, all the introductions were done, and Umino Iruka started lecturing.

"Our ninja academy has a five-year program. Over these five years, we'll teach you many things. Subjects are divided into two types: liberal arts and combat class. Future exams will also be of two types, with total scores combining both.

In liberal arts, we have seven major subjects: Language, Miscellaneous Languages, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Cipher Text, and Will of Fire. In combat class, we have eight major subjects: Hand Seals, Three Body Technique, Shuriken Throwing Technique, Kunai Throwing Technique, Close Combat, Kunai Combat, Basic Herb Identification, and Trap Setting and Disarming. Some courses you can start now, others will be offered in higher grades. The most critical course is the Three Body Technique, because your graduation exam is based on it."

"Teacher, if someone masters the Three Body Technique early, can they graduate early?" Kakashi suddenly raised his hand and asked.

"Huh?" Umino Iruka was about to get angry—first year and already thinking about graduation? Trying to break the ceiling?

But seeing it was Kakashi, he let it slide.

"Early graduation requires an early application. The exam content is set by the Hokage!" Umino Iruka waved his hand.

"Got it!" Kakashi lowered his hand.

"Alright, let's continue. Over these five years, we'll intermittently insert knowledge about Medical Ninjutsu, Sealing Ninjutsu, and Barrier Ninjutsu to test your talent in these three areas. If you have it, congratulations—you can join the Medical Class, Barrier Class, or Seal Class. The benefits in those departments are quite good!"

Kamiya Keiyun keenly noticed that some people were eager to try, while others looked disdainful. The eager ones were mostly plain-looking. The disdainful ones, also plain, had markings on their bodies, shoulders, or clothes—clan emblems.

Kamiya Keiyun knew these were clan kids. The Kamiya Family also had a clan emblem: a girl riding a cow, the image of Inari. But that was a commoner family's emblem—middle-tier in the ordinary world, but in the village of Konoha, it carried no weight.

"Next, I'll teach you the Chakra Extraction Method. Chakra is the foundation of all ninja techniques—Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu, even Genjutsu. Without Chakra, you can never become a ninja. You've all been tested and have the potential to generate Chakra.

With the Chakra Extraction Method, you can extract Chakra. Those who've already done so can practice on their own. Those who haven't, listen carefully—it affects how fast you can extract Chakra. Remember, different levels of focus yield different speeds!"

Kamiya Keiyun chuckled. He'd been a teaching assistant before and knew the common teacher spiel. Words like "focus" were probably just comfort talk.

Cultivation was all about talent. The gifted extracted fast; the untalented dragged their feet.

"I wonder what my talent is like. Cultivation depends on talent. If I'm a genius, great. But if I'm a dud, the kind who can't produce a thing in years, that'd be awkward." Kamiya Keiyun frowned as he listened to Umino Iruka begin.

"Close your eyes, meditate. Imagine two forces inside you—one in your head, one in your body. Converge them into your abdomen." Umino Iruka chanted softly while forming a hand seal. "Form this seal at the same time. This seal is used to mobilize Chakra. You'll learn it in detail later!"

Kamiya Keiyun followed suit: formed the seal, closed his eyes, meditated, focused his mind inward. Then, abruptly, his entire field of vision shifted from darkness to a somewhat dim space with a bright center—a pond?

Kamiya Keiyun stared in shock at this pond, less than twenty meters across. The water was dark and bottomless, with no fish. Instead, there was a single gray-black flower bud?

"Where is this? What is this?" Kamiya Keiyun asked in astonishment. "Is this Chakra?"

He didn't expect an answer, but the moment he asked, an answer automatically surfaced in his mind.

This was his Mental Space, the pool of water was his mental energy, and the flower bud at the center of the pool was a treasure that had accidentally fused with his spirit in the Chaos Sea during his transmigration. Its full name was the World Seed.

The full functions of the World Seed were unknown, but for now, it was constantly absorbing World Power. Once it had absorbed enough, it would bloom into a World Flower, from which Kamiya Keiyun could obtain a World Secret Treasure!

A World Secret Treasure could be an object, a supernatural power, or even a living being, but no matter what it was, it would be a world-class treasure.

And the level of this World Secret Treasure was related to the World Power absorbed by the World Seed. The higher the world, the higher the World Power absorbed, and the higher the level of the World Secret Treasure that bloomed.

"This... this is my Golden Finger!" Kamiya Keiyun rejoiced wildly. I knew it, how could a transmigrator not have a Golden Finger!

World Secret Treasure, this is my Golden Finger!

Kamiya Keiyun already understood that in the Naruto World, this World Seed could bloom once every five years. It could have bloomed as early as his fifth birthday, but he had never meditated, so he had never come in to retrieve it.

Now, he could finally obtain his first World Secret Treasure!

"Open!"

Boom!

In an instant, flowers rained from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, great dharma drums sounded, and great dharma conches blew.

Well, actually, it wasn't that mystical. The World Seed simply bloomed unremarkably, transforming into a dazzling Seven-Colored Lotus. On the lotus platform at its center rested a golden sphere—or rather, a jade, or a pill.

Kamiya Keiyun reached out, and the pill flew up on its own, landing in his hand. Without needing instruction, he directly swallowed it.

The next moment, he understood the pill's function.

Talent Golden Elixir, which grants a person a world-class talent. And his talent was named: Heaven Rewards Diligence!
