Everyone's Naruto: Starting with a Double Kamui Draw

"I think you could perhaps groom Xia Xueqing; she might make a fine clan head in the future."

"Forget it. That girl Xia Xueqing has no interest in the messy affairs of the clan. I think Xia You is quite good—decisive and ruthless, with talent even higher than yours or mine. He's the right material for a clan head."

"Besides, if you hadn't shirked your responsibilities and run away from home back then, I wouldn't have had to become the clan head. These years have been truly exhausting."

"So, your son should 'repay the debt' for you. In a few years, once he promotes to a Medical Jonin, let him inherit the clan so I can finally have some peace."

Xia Hong sighed; the changes in his daughter felt immense to him.

As the largest bloodline clan in Yang City, Xia Hong never demanded that Xia Xueqing be exceptionally outstanding.

As long as she could live a safe, peaceful, and happy life, it was only a matter of time before she grew into a Jonin with the clan's resources; there was no need for her to struggle at all.

Moreover, Xia Hong never intended to let his daughter shoulder the burden of the clan. He knew her personality well, and he knew just how difficult it was to be the head of a clan...

Xia Ling gave a wry smile after hearing this, admitting his own faults.

Back then, he was young and impulsive, always thinking about going to the Wasteland Zone with his teammates to fight Magic Beast and live a life of unrestrained vengeance, which led to quite a few jokes.

"Let's not talk about this." Xia Ling immediately changed the subject. "Speaking of which, this kid Su Bai really surprises me. A Genin actually awakened a Two-Tomoe Sharingan; his spiritual energy is far greater than that of a normal Ninja!"

"Two-Tomoe?" Xia Hong was surprised, but immediately grew worried.

"Sigh, no Ninja has ever been able to withstand the side effects of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan... This kid really gives me a headache. Why did Xia Xueqing have to take a fancy to him?"

When he first heard that Su Bai had teased Xia Xueqing, he was so angry he wanted to go to the school in person!

However, out of concern for his daughter's image among her classmates, he held back, planning to have Xia Xueqing's cousin, Xia Ling's son Xia You, teach Su Bai a lesson.

To his surprise, after his daughter returned, she told him not to interfere. At that moment, Xia Hong understood Xia Xueqing's intentions.

As a daughter-obsessed father, Xia Hong was indulgent toward Xia Xueqing. As long as his daughter was happy, he wouldn't mind even if she married a penniless commoner in the future!

What did his family lack?

Money? They were the wealthiest in Yang City.

Status? In Yang City, apart from the federal government, no other force dared to challenge the Xia Family.

Ninjas? That went without saying; the one thing the clan didn't lack was Ninjas!

But in the end, Xia Xueqing gave him a difficult problem...

"Tell me, why couldn't she like someone else? Why did she have to fall for Su Bai, a powder keg that could explode at any moment?" Xia Hong gritted his teeth in frustration, yet he could do nothing about Su Bai. He could see that his daughter truly liked him.

Xia Ling rubbed his bald head, not knowing what to say.

If Su Bai were an ordinary person, it would be easy to pile up resources from the Xia Family to push him to a Jonin level...

But he had awakened the Sharingan, and the side effects of that thing were simply impossible to resolve.

Chapter 60: The Worst of the Lot?

Early the next morning, Su Bai and Xia Xueqing arrived at the Hunter Guild.

After returning yesterday, he had given a small bag of Long-Eared Rabbit meat to his parents and little sister to taste.

Su Xiaoxiao, who had eaten Magic Beast meat for the first time, nearly bit her tongue off from greed. This made Su Bai feel both amused and heartbroken, thinking he must cure his sister's eyes as soon as possible.

"Experts say that Xiaoxiao's condition might only be treatable by a Medical Jonin, but the cost to hire those high-and-mighty Jonin powerhouses is too great. Perhaps I can try to become a Medical Ninja myself."

"This way, not only can I treat Xiaoxiao's eyes, but I can also treat myself on the spot if I get injured in the Wasteland Zone, increasing my survival rate."

Last night, he checked the internal website of the Hunter Guild. The price for a Medical Jonin's services was something called a God Tree Fruit, which, when consumed, could increase chakra and alter one's constitution. It was only produced in Secret Realm.

Secret Realm were the lairs of the Magic Beast that invaded Blue Star. Currently, there were over a hundred Secret Realm of various sizes across the entire Blue Star.

The smallest Secret Realm was larger than a Base City, and as for the largest, it was impossible to estimate; for over two hundred years, humanity hadn't figured out just how big they were.

Secret Realm were also graded. According to the level of danger, they were divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D. The more dangerous the Secret Realm, the higher the grade of the Ninjutsu Scroll and God Tree Fruit produced.

The lowest price for hiring a Medical Jonin that Su Bai wanted was ten C-Rank God Tree Fruit.

He went to check the price of God Tree Fruit. They were also divided into A, B, C, and D grades. The Hunter Guild only had D-Rank God Tree Fruit for sale internally, and the price made Su Bai's eyes widen. Even now, he clearly remembered the description.

[D-Rank God Tree Fruit: A Ninja can eat one every three months. Consuming it increases chakra by 10~20 units. Price: 10 billion Federal Coin.]

As for the A, B, and C grades above that, they could not be bought with money. Some were rewards for guild missions, while others were sold privately, requiring specific items in exchange.

For example, Su Bai saw one: a single C-Rank God Tree Fruit was specifically requested in exchange for a B-Rank Ninjutsu Scroll—Shadow Clone!

Later, he discovered that it wasn't just the God Tree Fruit that required barter; most B-Rank or higher Ninjutsu Scroll were the same. They weren't sold directly but were traded for needed items or given as rewards for completing guild-issued missions.

"Sigh, strength is everything." With a sigh, Su Bai and Xia Xueqing walked into the guild.

After Su Bai accompanied her to join the guild, the two were led by a young lady staff member to the guild's training grounds.

The training ground was about the size of ten football fields. When the two entered, there were already a dozen people inside, appearing to be about the same age as them—students who had just become Ninja.

"Su Bai?"

"Xia Xueqing?"

As soon as they entered, they ran into an acquaintance: Yang Liu!

Yang Liu immediately walked over. "Are you two here for the test as well?"

"Heh, of course." Su Bai smiled. "I didn't expect to run into you here; what a coincidence."

"It is quite a coincidence." Yang Liu nodded, then asked, "Have you made any progress these past few days? I've been looking forward to sparring with you. Since the test includes a practical combat drill, why don't we have a go?"

"Sure, I'd love to." Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he agreed immediately.

Yang Liu was an Ice Release ninja; he wondered if his Sharingan would be able to copy his techniques.

Seeing Su Bai agree, Yang Liu laughed. "Straightforward!"

"But I'm different now. You know about the God Tree Fruit, right? My father got me a D-grade one, and now I have 20 units of chakra. You'd better be careful."

"God Tree Fruit... you're really rich." Su Bai clicked his tongue. The gap between those with resources and those without was truly massive.

Xia Xueqing frowned upon hearing this. "Taking the God Tree Fruit now might have the side effect of forcing growth at the expense of your foundation."

Although the God Tree Fruit was rare, it didn't mean much to her.

It was best for a Genin to have over ten units of chakra before consuming their first God Tree Fruit, as by then, the ninja's physical constitution would have been subtly altered by chakra for long enough to withstand the fruit's effects.

"Doesn't matter. My father originally planned for me to wait a while longer, but he tested my body specifically and I've already reached the minimum requirement." Yang Liu clenched his fist and struck a pose; his arm muscles were thick, showing he had undergone extensive taijutsu training.

The three chatted for a while longer until a middle-aged man wearing a Chunin badge on his chest walked over and said sternly, "Test participants, follow me."

Su Bai and the others followed immediately and soon arrived in front of a metal wall. Beside the wall was a display screen showing four zeros.

The middle-aged man said, "In a moment, use your strongest ninjutsu to attack this wall. Remember, the chakra output must not exceed one unit; this is to test your proficiency in ninjutsu control."

"I will start calling names now. Once your name is called, you may begin. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone replied in unison.

"Good. First, He Lang."

"Here."

A boy about 1.7 meters tall stepped forward and began weaving hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

BOOM!

A large fireball flew toward the wall, vanishing after a loud explosion. The wall remained as smooth as a mirror, without a single mark.

Beep, beep, beep!

A number appeared on the screen: 5.

"An attack power of 5 units? Not bad." The middle-aged man glanced at it and called the next person.

"What is this thing?" Su Bai asked in a low voice, looking at the wall.

Xia Xueqing replied, "This is a Ninjutsu Testing Machine. It's very precious; there aren't many in all of Yang City. It can test the destructive power of a ninja's ninjutsu."

"That boy's ninjutsu power was 5 units, which means he used one unit of chakra to exert five times the power. That's quite good."

"I see. Have you tested it before?" Su Bai asked again.

"Mm, I tested it at home when I was bored," Xia Xueqing said nonchalantly, then turned her gaze toward a girl currently being tested.

Bored... at home...

Su Bai looked at the girl's delicate profile and fell silent.

Didn't they say this thing was precious? That there aren't many in all of Yang City?

How does she make it sound as casual as watching TV at home whenever she feels like it...

Su Bai felt deeply discouraged.

At this moment, the middle-aged man called Xia Xueqing's name. Su Bai immediately turned his gaze toward the girl as she stepped forward.

"Heh, begin." The middle-aged man smiled at Xia Xueqing. She nodded, immediately struck an attack stance, and shouted, "Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

Xia Xueqing's fair, delicate palm sent a mass of invisible air currents toward the wall, slamming into it with a heavy thud!

Beep, beep, beep!

The screen immediately displayed a number that had never appeared before: 13!

"So strong. As expected of someone from the Xia Family!" the middle-aged man thought to himself as he recorded the result.

"Next, Yang Liu!"

Yang Liu stepped forward and immediately attacked, unleashing his ice ninjutsu.

"Ice Release: Ice Pillar Technique!"

Beep, beep, beep—12!

"Another one? Are you Yang Long's son?"

"Yes." Yang Liu nodded faintly and walked back.

The middle-aged man shook his head, thinking there were truly many "big shots" today, and continued calling names.

"Next, Su Bai."

"Here." Su Bai responded immediately and walked toward the wall, unable to wait; he also wanted to know what his own value would be.

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said indifferently, "Make your move."

"Yes."

Su Bai immediately formed hand seals; he intended to use a Lightning Release ninjutsu for the test.

In less than three seconds, the seals were complete, though it was much slower than when he had copied Chu Yuan's ninjutsu. After all, this was his own proficiency level, not the proficiency Chu Yuan possessed when he had used his Sharingan to copy it.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang!"

A mass of electricity appeared in Su Bai's hand, which transformed into a wolf-like shape after being thrown, slamming fiercely into the wall.

Beep, beep, beep—3!

Su Bai was dumbfounded, and Yang Liu was equally stunned. Only Xia Xueqing smiled without a word, as if she had foreseen this all along.

This... this had to be the lowest in the entire room, right? Was the power of a newly mastered ninjutsu really this pathetic?

Before long, everyone in the arena had finished their tests. Aside from one girl who had struck with a power of two units, Su Bai's score was the lowest of them all.

"My ninjutsu still needs a lot more practice," Su Bai sighed to himself.

Although the Copy Eye allowed him to master copied ninjutsu instantly, the lack of proficiency made the power pitifully weak, a stark contrast to when he was first copying the techniques.

Back then, Su Bai could clearly feel that both his seal-forming speed and the power of the ninjutsu were many times stronger than they were now!

That had been the proficiency mastered by the original user; he could replicate it perfectly while copying, but once the effect faded, he needed to put in the practice himself.

The group arrived at the Chakra Level testing machine, and the middle-aged man told them to line up to test their levels.

"He Lang, you're first. Go on up."
