Host: Uchiha Yuzhen Gender: Male Age: Twelve Strength: Special Jonin Affixes: [Genius (Gold)], [Uchiha (Purple)], [Fire Style (Blue)], [Wind Style (Blue)], [Yin Style (Blue)], [Sharingan (Green)], [Uchiha Style (Blue)], [Eye of the Divine Realm (Red)] Combat Points: 80
Looking at the panel, Uchiha Yuzhen's heart leaped.
He had spent twenty points to upgrade his affixes.
Genius and Uchiha had synergized, turning green into blue,
and making him a Jonin.
Although, according to the system's assessment,
his strength was that of an ordinary Jonin,
he was still plenty powerful!
After all, Jonin from the Five Great Shinobi Nations were on a different level from Jonin from other villages.
Likewise, Konoha's Jonin were a little stronger than those of the other four great nations.
As Uchiha Yuzhen pondered this,
Uchiha Obito glanced at the sky, decided it was getting late, and walked over.
"Yuzhen, Yuzhen, what are you spacing out about?"
"Mm... nothing. I was just wondering if the Jonin we're meeting tomorrow, Minato-sensei, will be easy to get along with."
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about that, Yuzhen. Rin and I have met Minato-sensei. He's a gentle and powerful shinobi."
"Is that so... Then I'm relieved. I trust you, Obito."
Hearing this, Obito sheepishly rubbed his nose.
He hurriedly pointed at the sky and said to Yuzhen,
"It's getting late. Let's head back."
Uchiha Yuzhen stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.
"All right, then. See you tomorrow, Obito."
"See you, Yuzhen!"
Early the next morning,
Uchiha Yuzhen arrived at the meeting place for Team Minato, as specified on the notice scroll.
It was a training ground beside the Forest of Death.
As he stepped into the center of the field, Yuzhen spotted a white-haired boy.
He raised his hand
and greeted him with a smile.
"Yo, Kakashi! You're still as early as ever."
Kakashi gave a familiar, expressionless nod in reply.
"Punctuality is a shinobi's rule. It must be followed!"
"You haven't changed..." Yuzhen shook his head with a helpless sigh. He looked around, surprised, and continued, "Are there only the two of us?"
Kakashi sighed helplessly.
"Yeah... just us two. If they don't show up in a few minutes, we'll switch teams."
At this point, he had little patience for shinobi who ignored the rules and failed to show up on time.
Fortunately—
Just as the meeting time on the notice was approaching,
a cute girl came running over.
Seeing people already waiting at the field, she hurried her pace.
As she reached them, she hadn't even made out who they were
when she bowed at a perfect ninety degrees.
"Sorry for the wait."
"Rin?" Kakashi stared at the familiar face before him, calling out in surprise.
Hearing the familiar voice, Rin straightened up.
She cried out in surprise,
"Kakashi?! You're one of the two who got assigned to join us!"
As if remembering something,
she clasped her hands to her flushed cheeks and smiled.
"This is wonderful! I get to be teammates with Kakashi!"
Seeing the two of them about to start reminiscing,
Uchiha Yuzhen spoke up too.
"You two old classmates can celebrate your reunion, but don't forget about me."
He held out his hand. "Let's get acquainted. I'm Uchiha Yuzhen, a shinobi joining your team as well."
Coming back to her senses, gentle Rin blushed even more.
A new bookshelf feature has been added, allowing you to sort multiple books into groups. If you have any suggestions after trying it, please let us know, and we'll make adjustments.
She had been so excited to see Kakashi that she'd completely overlooked the person beside him.
The gentle girl felt embarrassed.
"Sorry. I'm Rin Nohara. I look forward to working with you."
Just then,
with a whoosh,
a flash of golden light appeared, and a handsome, blond young man materialized on the field.
He smiled warmly at them all.
"Great, you've all met each other."
"But where's Obito-kun?"
Hearing this, Rin reluctantly offered an explanation for Obito.
"Sensei, we've met twice before."
"Obito's probably helping an old lady cross the road right now, which is why he's late."
Thinking of that kindhearted Uchiha, Namikaze Minato didn't mind that he was late.
"That's right... Obito's a good kid."
"Let's wait for him. He should be here soon. Once we're all together, we can introduce ourselves."
By now, Kakashi had stopped caring about what his Jonin leader was saying.
Obito was late—seriously late.
Even though Obito was an old classmate from the Ninja Academy,
Kakashi was still getting impatient.
Once his Jonin leader finished speaking, his throat bobbed.
Just as he was about to say something,
Uchiha Obito came running over from outside the training ground,
wearing his goggles.
He reached the group and panted a few times.
"Huff... huff... I made it!"
He pressed his hands together, looking apologetic. "Sorry, sorry. I was helping an old lady get home, so I got here a little late."
"Hmph! I hope this doesn't happen again," Kakashi snorted, the words he'd been about to say replaced by that curt remark.
"Huh? Kakashi?! You're here!" Obito jumped when he spotted him.
He'd always disliked the guy at the Ninja Academy.
There was no other reason. Rin's eyes were always on him.
It made Obito feel awful.
Now that he'd seen Kakashi among the shinobi joining his team,
his sense of urgency shot through the roof.
"Is there a problem, Obito?" Kakashi replied coolly.
"Obito, don't be so prejudiced against Kakashi. You should get along from now on," Rin said with a bright smile.
Hearing that, Obito felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart.
"Damn... That feeling from school is back."
Clap, clap, clap.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Namikaze Minato clapped his hands.
When everyone's eyes turned to him,
he spoke slowly.
"Then let's introduce ourselves."
"Obito, Rin, and Kakashi were all in the same class, so they already know each other well."
"Now..." He looked at Uchiha Yuzhen. "Why don't you introduce yourself?"
At that, Uchiha Yuzhen faced the others on the field
and introduced himself earnestly.
"I'm Uchiha Yuzhen, a Genin of Konoha."
"I like meat, and there's no food I particularly dislike."
"My dream is... to live freely in a peaceful world."
"That's a very down-to-earth wish." After hearing him out, Namikaze Minato held out his hand. "Then let me introduce myself."
"I'm Namikaze Minato, currently a Jonin of Konoha. My dream is to become Hokage and protect the person I love most!"
"Yuzhen-kun, I look forward to working with you."
Uchiha Yuzhen clasped Namikaze Minato's outstretched hand tightly
and replied excitedly,
"All right, Minato-sensei!"
As their hands touched,
a rainbow-colored glow rose from Namikaze Minato.
Yuzhen fixed his gaze on the brightest golden light.
He focused his thoughts.
"System, extract that brightest golden affix!"
