Naruto for All: Starting with a Double Kamui Draw Chapter 5

Previously, the couple felt their son's talent was limited and that he would likely fail to get into university, so they hadn't given it much thought.

But Su Bai was different now; having perfectly mastered the Body Replacement Technique, Body Flicker Technique, and Transformation Technique already met the requirements for university, which led the couple to start preparing his tuition fees.

"I'll go ask my big brother for a loan!" Su Jianhong crushed his cigarette butt and turned to head out.

Lin Xiu'e added, "We have a little over 5,000 yuan at home, but we need to prepare at least 30,000 for our son. I'll go ask Su Bai's second aunt for some as well."

"Mm, it's best to prepare more. Better safe than sorry!" Su Jianhong put on his coat and walked out the door.

He was going to find Su Bai's uncle, his own older brother, to borrow money.

Su Bai watched this scene from the side in silence. He knew he lacked the ability to change this situation right now and could only rely on his parents.

However, he believed these days would soon be over; he was confident he could provide his family with a good life in the future!

Only 13 days left... Perhaps I can use the attribute points to get stronger and win the school scholarship to lighten the burden on my parents! He thought of the school scholarship; Yangcheng No. 1 High School set aside three scholarship spots for college entrance exam candidates every year.

Each spot was worth 100,000 federal coins, enough to cover the expenses of attending an ordinary university.

After two hours, Su Jianhong and Lin Xiu'e both returned, their expressions looking rather grim.

"Husband, did your big brother agree to lend us the money?"

"He agreed to lend it, but he only gave us 10,000. What about his second aunt? What did she say?" Su Jianhong frowned, subconsciously pulling out a cigarette to light it.

Lin Xiu'e slapped his hand away; she didn't like him smoking.

Their home was small, only about 50 square meters, so if Su Jianhong smoked, they all had to breathe it in.

"His second aunt wanted to lend it, but her husband wasn't willing. In the end, they only gave us 1,000 yuan," Lin Xiu'e said.

Su Bai's second aunt was her own younger sister, and the two families usually visited each other often and had a good relationship.

But her brother-in-law was a piece of work; he didn't work properly, spent his days smoking and drinking, and was incredibly stingy.

Her sister had wanted to lend them the money, but since the man was the head of the household, there was nothing she could do when he refused.

"Sigh, my sister-in-law is reasonable, but my brother's family isn't much better off than ours. They couldn't scrape together any more money on such short notice," Su Jianhong said with a worried face.

They were all ordinary families; no one was really better off than the other.

Lin Xiu'e asked, "Then what should we do? We don't even have 20,000 yuan in total."

"I'll go ask my coworkers for a loan tomorrow. I should be able to scrape together 30,000."

Su Bai, listening to his parents' conversation from his room, clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

"Mom, Dad, I have a way to get the money!"

"You? What way could a green kid like you have?" Su Jianhong smiled dismissively.

Lin Xiu'e also laughed, "Son, don't worry about the money. Your father and I will handle it. You just focus on your studies."

"I really have a way!"

"Our school has a scholarship. As long as my assessment scores are in the top three, I can get it. It's 100,000 per person!" Seeing his parents didn't believe him, Su Bai grew anxious and quickly explained his idea.

Su Jianhong and Lin Xiu'e looked at each other, then asked uncertainly, "Son, are you sure you can rank in the top three?"

"Yeah, although you've mastered the three basic techniques, shouldn't there be quite a few people at your school who have reached that level by now?"

"If you want to compete for this scholarship, doesn't it ultimately come down to the amount of chakra?"

Although their son's sudden "enlightenment" tonight had shocked them, he was still just an excellent student, and there was still a significant gap between him and the top-tier elite.

Even they knew that while mastering the three basic techniques was the standard, the ranking was determined by the quantity of a student's chakra.

Su Bai had always been physically weak, and his progress in refining chakra was slow—they knew this, which was why the couple wasn't very confident about the scholarship Su Bai mentioned.

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I'm not the same as I was before. I'm confident I can win the scholarship!" Su Bai said with conviction.

Although his body was still weak, he could gain one usable attribute point every day. He didn't believe that if he dumped all these points into chakra, he wouldn't be able to surpass his classmates!

Tonight is the moment that decides whether I can get the scholarship. It all depends on how much chakra a single attribute point can give me! Su Bai returned to his room and began to refine chakra.

Even with the system to add points, Su Bai knew he couldn't neglect his daily training. To rise above the rest, one needed more than just opportunity; one needed the kind of hard work that ordinary people lacked!

Sitting cross-legged, he began to refine chakra according to the methods taught at school.

According to over 200 years of human research on chakra, it was a form of energy created by the perfect fusion of spiritual and physical energy.

It was the source of energy for performing ninjutsu and genjutsu.

Simply put, chakra was the energy required to use ninjutsu, and this energy was extracted cell by cell from the 130 trillion cells in the human body, combined with the spiritual energy honed through much training and accumulated experience.

Once generated, chakra would circulate throughout the body like blood, and the amount would grow larger the more often and the longer a ninja refined it.

Hum, hum.

Just as Su Bai began to refine it, he felt the chakra in his cells like violent sprites, extremely active, forcing him to slow down for fear of an accident.

His nerves were pulled taut. Refining chakra not only consumed cellular energy but also required the coordination of mental energy; only by combining the two could chakra be produced.

"Cells can be understood as the Yang attribute, and mental energy as the Yin attribute. If I want to speed up my chakra refinement, I must add points to these two attributes."

"However, with the exam right in front of me, there is no time to slowly accumulate available attribute points. I'll just add tonight's points to my chakra."

Su Bai looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already 9:00 PM; in three hours, his available attribute points for the next day would refresh.

I hope this gives me a surprise...

Filled with anticipation, Su Bai closed his eyes and focused on refining chakra. Time slipped away, bit by bit.

One hour... two hours... three hours...

When the clock struck midnight, marking the start of the next day, Su Bai didn't hesitate. He immediately added the refreshed attribute point to his chakra!

BOOM!

Suddenly, a massive surge of energy erupted within his body. Every cell in his being seemed to cheer and leap for joy, frantically absorbing this power!

In an instant, the cells in his body had "devoured" the energy completely!

"This, this is!" Su Bai stared at the panel, his eyes wide with disbelief!

"One available attribute point adds 1 Kage of chakra? Have I already reached the minimum chakra level for a Genin?"

Su Bai was dazed as he looked at the panel; the happiness had come too suddenly.

Just that morning, he had been worrying about how to increase his chakra, and now, a single attribute point had turned him into a Genin? This was simply heaven-defying!

After the initial joy, Su Bai suddenly regained his composure.

"No, I shouldn't think like that."

"While one available attribute point increasing my chakra by one Kage is an astronomical figure for me right now, it won't have such a massive impact as I grow stronger in the future."

"The minimum for a Genin is 1 Kage of chakra, and the maximum is 100. If I rely solely on adding points, it would take 100 days to raise my chakra to the level of a Chunin."

"Thinking about it, that's not slow, but if I want to reach the 1,000 Kage chakra level of a Jonin, it would take three years."

"Although three years isn't long, I cannot pin all my hopes for improvement on adding points; other areas need them more!"

Su Bai turned his gaze to the Yin and Yang attributes. His chakra was sufficient for now; he would definitely be able to handle the exam and secure the scholarship.

As far as he knew, in the entire senior year at Yangcheng No. 1 High School, besides Xia Xueqing, there wasn't a second student who had raised their chakra to the Genin level.

After all, only Xia Xueqing was a member of a Kekkei Genkai family, possessing innate cultivation resources that others lacked, which was why she had become a Genin so quickly.

"The Yin and Yang attributes are key to changing my body. In the long run, I might need to prioritize adding points to these two."

Chapter 9: Strawberry Milk Tea

Early the next morning, Su Bai got up. His body had rested all night and accumulated enough energy to refine chakra.

Since chakra must be extracted from cells, it placed a heavy burden on the body. The most direct way for people to replenish it was by eating high-nutrition food, such as the meat of magical beasts.

The higher the level of the magical beast, the higher the nutritional content of its meat, which had immense benefits for the human body.

However, Su Bai couldn't afford magical beast meat.

He couldn't even afford regular meat; his family barely ate it a few times a year.

It wasn't that his parents were stingy; they were just saving every cent for him and his sister...

This was the first time Su Bai was refining chakra since "becoming" a Genin. Last night, he had carefully refined it for three hours and only increased it by 0.01 Kage. He knew this was his normal speed; his talent was very ordinary.

Now that he had become a "pseudo" genin, his physical strength had increased significantly, and his speed in refining chakra had also quickened; in just half an hour, he had refined the same amount that took him three hours the previous night.

"Gurgle~"

"So hungry."

His stomach let out a protest, and Su Bai finally stopped his cultivation, as his body no longer had the energy to sustain further chakra refinement.

"Son, don't eat so much, you'll upset your stomach."

At the dining table, Su Jianhong and Lin Xiu'e stared wide-eyed at Su Bai, who had already eaten five steamed buns...

With his mouth stuffed with a bun, Su Bai chewed twice and mumbled, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, I know how much I can eat."

"That may be true, but why are you suddenly eating so much?" Su Jianhong frowned.

It wasn't that he begrudged the cost of a few buns, but rather that Su Bai's appetite had suddenly surged several times over, which made him somewhat worried.

This time, Su Bai did not come clean, only saying that he had made some progress in refining chakra and that his body required more energy.

It wasn't that he didn't trust his parents, but he didn't know how to explain that he had suddenly gained an entire unit of chakra in a single night.

After all, his behavior was too abnormal; as far as he knew, no ninja apprentice had ever become a genin as quickly as he had!

After breakfast, a high-spirited Su Bai ruffled Su Xiaoxiao's little head before heading off to school.

As soon as he walked into the classroom, he caught sight of Xia Xueqing, whom he had "teased." Xia Xueqing saw him too, let out a soft huff, and turned her head away, ignoring him; it seemed she was still angry.

Xia Xueqing was wearing a slim-fit martial arts uniform today, the white, form-fitting clothes making the girl look quite dainty. Her hair, which usually draped over her shoulders, was tied up, with a long ponytail hanging down the back of her head, making her look as cute as a girl next door.

Seeing the "protagonist" arrive, the classmates immediately quieted down, ready to enjoy a "great show" with the anticipation of spectators watching a drama.
