Jiraiya: Figure it out yourself!

Three days and three nights.

On the first day, Jiraiya taught Naruto how to refine chakra into oil for "Fire Style: Flame Bullet" and "Fire Style: Great Flame Bullet."

On the second day, he taught Naruto "Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld," which could create a massive marsh.

On the third day, he simply taught him the secret ninja arts "Wild Lion's Mane Technique," which allowed hair to grow long, and "Ninja Art: Needle Jizo," which made hair as sharp and hard as steel needles.

The result was the same in every instance.

Naruto possessed an incredibly strong talent for cultivation.

He learned everything the moment he was taught!

Jiraiya was starting to doubt his own life.

Had the Ninja Academy taught him absolutely nothing over the last decade?

"Teacher Jiraiya!"

"I've learned the move you just taught me!"

Naruto spat out a mouthful of high-temperature flames.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Flames from the left, right, and front transformed into dragon heads and flew outward.

All of them were under Naruto's perfect control!

BOOM!

A section of the river's water evaporated in an instant.

As the white mist dissipated, Naruto stood upon the surface of the water.

His golden hair, transformed by "Wild Lion's Mane Technique" and "Needle Jizo," draped over him like steel needles.

"So Fire Style is actually this powerful!"

"Even hair can be turned into a ninja tool!"

"There are still 26 days left of this hellish special training; let's make it even more intense!"

Naruto couldn't wait to become stronger.

This feeling was exactly like playing a video game.

In the past, he had to pay-to-win and stay up all night grinding just to get stronger.

Now, he was personally crafting a max-star S-rank ninja!

He was controlling it himself!

There were no skill slot limitations; as long as he had enough chakra, he could use as many ninjutsu as he wanted!

It was perfect!

The only thing that annoyed Naruto was the Turn Back to the Shore System.

It had been stuck in a loading state for the past few days.

"I... actually... uh..."

Jiraiya hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

How was he supposed to put it?

This kid had nearly maxed out his level in less than five days!

As one of the Legendary Sannin, the Toad Sage, and the author of Make-Out Paradise, what face would he have left to stand on in the world?

"Naruto."

"Do not become complacent just because you've mastered some basic training."

"What comes next is advanced training."

Slap!

Jiraiya leaped into mid-air.

He clapped his wooden sandals together.

He had actually managed to weave hand signs!

"Did you see that?"

"Ninjas must weave signs to perform ninjutsu, but some enemies will specifically target your hands."

"Therefore, you will only be considered qualified once you have learned to weave signs with your feet and can perform every technique as freely as you do with your hands."

Seeing the slightly dazed look in Naruto's eyes, Jiraiya finally felt like he had regained a bit of his dignity.

After teaching the methods and training techniques, he seized the first opportunity to slip away.

"Your teacher still needs to go gather some material for his new artistic literary creations."

"You must contemplate this well! Strive to master the Unexpected early on!"

Jiraiya left Naruto with that single sentence, offering no further explanation.

He vanished in a puff of smoke, heading straight for the Konoha hot springs.

After an hour of grueling training.

Naruto had successfully mastered the technique of performing all ninjutsu hand seals with his feet.

He suddenly felt a sense of dullness.

"The third round of the Chunin Exams is only 26 days away."

"With my current strength, there's still a bit of risk."

Naruto lay on the grass, muttering to himself.

He caught a glimpse of the system interface.

[Searching for acts of kindness and virtue missions with full power...]

"You useless system!"

"Can I uninstall you? Give me a way!"

"What kind of system doesn't give a single reward today? You might as well just die."

Naruto felt this system was completely useless.

"You might as well rename yourself 'Newbie Seven-Day Sign-in' or 'Monthly Sign-in.' If that doesn't work, just make a system monthly pass so I can collect something every day."

"Did you hear me?"

There was no answer to Naruto's questioning.

Just as he was about to sigh.

He heard a slight movement behind him.

Naruto turned around, kunai already in hand, and stood before the newcomer.

"Na... Naruto."

Hinata Hyuga blushed, hiding behind a wooden post.

"Hinata, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be recovering from your injuries instead of training?"

Meeting a living person helped dispel a bit of Naruto's gloomy mood.

"My... my injuries... are already healed."

Before Hinata could finish her sentence.

She collapsed to the ground, her cheeks burning as she fell unconscious.

"Even the princess of the Hyuga Clan is pulling a scam!"

Naruto placed Hinata gently on the ground.

While waiting for her to wake up.

He thought of the disappointing system again.

"What is wrong with the ninja world? Hinata won't eat dirt-eggs, and the System won't issue any missions!"

Naruto felt dejected.

[Ding!]

[After seventy-two hours of intense searching]

[The Turn Back to the Shore System has found a path of goodwill sufficient to cleanse sins, addressing the host's signs of corruption]

[In 26 days, there will be a match against Neji Hyuga. If you can save his dark heart, imprisoned by the Caged Bird, it will surely be an act of immense merit]

[Host, please be sure to save Neji Hyuga from the path of darkness and let the Will of Fire of Konoha burn]

[Mission success will grant a reward of 30 Goodwill Points]

[Mission failure will result in a penalty of 300 Penalty Points]

Is it crazy?

Naruto couldn't understand it.

Is it wrong for Neji Hyuga to hate a life shackled by the Caged Bird?

Even if it is to protect his clansmen.

If even the strongest genius who surpasses everyone cannot be liberated?

Then the decline of this clan is only a matter of time!

"If you want me to beat him, just say so. Why drag in all this morality?"

"System, if you don't know how to issue missions, then get lost! I can set the tasks and rewards myself!"

Naruto stood atop a wooden stake.

He practiced Fire Style by weaving signs with his feet while spinning a Rasengan with one hand.

"I have to say, this method is actually much more efficient!"

In the distance.

Jiraiya stood on a large tree branch.

Seeing Naruto use two combat ninjutsu simultaneously, he couldn't help but feel delighted.

"Minato, Kushina, your child has not failed to live up to expectations, though his talent is truly a bit too abnormal."

"But it is still too early for him to cultivate Sage Mode with his current temperament; even I, a fifty-one-year-old man, am still hesitant."

Jiraiya departed at high speed.

Once the sentimental reminiscing was over, it was time for some material for artistic creation!

In the forest.

When Hinata Hyuga woke up, Naruto had already finished his training.

"Naruto-kun."

Hinata Hyuga wanted to say something but hesitated.

She only saw Naruto's back under the setting sun.

He seemed different from before.

"Let's head back to the village."

Returning to the village together!

Hinata's heart pounded like a trapped deer.

Naruto was deep in thought the entire way.

At the crossroads.

Hinata hurried away.

Only Naruto remained, standing under a streetlamp.

Meow! Meow!

Strange.

Naruto noticed that many cats had appeared downstairs at his home recently.

They were always gathering together, cheering and jumping for joy.

Forget it.

Naruto had no intention of training ninja cats.

He returned home and collapsed onto his bed.

Bored.

As a transmigrator.

Naruto had felt extremely bored after only a few days of arriving.

There were no games to play, no videos to scroll through.

Even.

The manga Naruto wasn't even being serialized!

What was being serialized was that business between the First Hokage and the Uchiha rogue ninja!

Who would want to watch such inexplicable nonsense!

Naruto tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"System, try to be a bit more useful."

"If this keeps up, I'll have no choice but to rely on myself to become the strongest Hokage in history and defeat the Otsutsuki!"

[Detected malice from the host, corruption index increased]

[Achievement unlocked: Do not do unto the System what you would not have done unto yourself]

[100 penalty points issued as punishment!]

"Heh!"

Naruto was instantly energized.

"You dog system really does need a whipping!"

He immediately initiated a draw.

The prize wheel spun with a whoosh.

All previously obtained rewards would vanish, expanding the remaining range for the draw.

Naruto watched with his own eyes as the pointer stopped on the "Lightning Style: Lightning Armor" section.

[Regrettably]

[The host shall fall into Muscle Hell]

[You have only obtained a simple and brutal ninjutsu-taijutsu: Lightning Style: Lightning Armor]

Since there must be muscular hunks in this world, why can't it be me?

Naruto was instantly fired up.

He immediately went to find Nine-Tails to train.
