Overdrafting the Future Again! (Seeking Follow-ups)

"I must build a library one day!"

Stepping out of the bookstore, Shita Genichi couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He had been racking his brain to acquire knowledge on medical ninjutsu and human anatomy.

Although he had obtained quite a bit of material from Shizune, he couldn't rely solely on copying books.

But Konoha had no library; he had to buy them.

Furthermore, some books were not easy to come by.

Professional texts were exorbitantly expensive, exhausting his allowance and even forcing him to borrow money from Shizune.

"Future me, don't you dare let my current efforts go to waste!"

Back home, Shita Genichi buried his nose in his books while continuing his grand project of note-taking.

He had spent too much money to let it go to waste.

It was spring break, so there was no school.

The new academic year would begin in April.

And there were only five days left until he could overdraft his future again.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

Hearing his mother's voice, Shita Genichi looked up and rubbed his dry eyes.

I never studied this hard in my past life, but they say those who urge others to study medicine deserve to be struck by lightning.

Rising to stretch his stiff body, Shita Genichi went downstairs for lunch.

After eating, Shita Genichi returned to his room to continue his studies.

Only this time, it wasn't medical knowledge, but the far more abstruse art of sealing.

He had met Jiraiya at the home of Namikaze Minato last time; although the latter hadn't taken him as a disciple, he had agreed to teach Shita Genichi sealing techniques.

Not only that, but Uzumaki Kushina had also generously offered that Shita Genichi could come to ask her anything at any time.

Thus, Shita Genichi had successfully obtained a wealth of information regarding sealing techniques.

Of course, the only sealing technique he had received from Jiraiya so far was the Evil Sealing Method!

These gains could all be attributed to the copyright of the Rasengan.

Naturally, to return the favor, Shita Genichi planned to present the concept of the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken after some time.

Even if he didn't practice it himself, there was no harm in proposing the idea.

It was well-suited for Jiraiya; because he had mastered Sage Mode, he could throw the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken even if it wasn't perfect.

For Shita Genichi, trading a ninjutsu he couldn't currently use for other ninjutsu resources was entirely worth it.

Besides, just because he gave it away didn't mean he couldn't use it himself once he had the ability.

After finishing his lunch downstairs, Shita Genichi strolled out.

Once his food had settled, he headed to his usual spot for training.

Before long, a familiar voice rang out.

It was Might Guy.

Shita Genichi smiled slightly and continued his training, drawing his blade repeatedly.

The closer he got to the time to overdraft his future, the harder Shita Genichi trained.

He was just like a failing student sharpening his spear right before an exam.

Time flew by until March 18th, Konoha Year 42.

In the depths of Shita Genichi's mind, the previously grayed-out [Overdraft Future Ten Years] on his

Overdraft Panel

had lit up.

Lying on his bed, Shita Genichi took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Future, I hope you don't let my efforts over this past year go to waste!"

Overdraft future ten years!

As the

Overdraft Panel

exploded into a purple orb of light, Shita Genichi's mind went blank for a split second, while every cell in his body trembled as if struck by electricity.

A moment later, Shita Genichi's eyelids fluttered, and he opened his eyes: "It's not ten years again..."

The last time he overdrafted the future for ten years, it hadn't actually been ten years, but only six.

And now, it was eight years.

Counting it up, that meant he only made it to Konoha Year 50.

Shita Genichi couldn't determine if his future self had died in the Third Shinobi World War or during the Nine-Tails' attack.

Of course, it was also possible he had died during his collaboration with Orochimaru.

Because this time, when he overdrafted the future for ten years, a portion of the gains clearly came from Orochimaru.

"I've worked so hard, and I'm even using a cheat, yet I still died and didn't make it past ten years."

Shita Genichi's expression was grim.

But this just went to show how dangerous the profession of a ninja truly was.
