Chapter One: God-Tier Ten-Pull Draw, Basic Wood Release Mastery
For the first time, Chenshu Senju felt that being alive was a very noisy thing.
Laughter filled his ears.
"The Senju Clan is only capable of this much?"
"You failed even chakra extraction, yet you dared sign up for the shuriken assessment?"
On the training grounds of the Konoha Ninja Academy, Kiba Inuzuka stood with his hands in his pockets, Akamaru perched atop his head. Man and dog alike stared at the boy lying on the ground.
Quite a few students stood around them.
Some frowned, some looked sympathetic, but most were simply watching the show.
After all, Senju was an exceptionally special surname in the Hidden Leaf Village.
Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage. Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage. Which of them had not stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world?
But when it came to Chenshu Senju...
His chakra was pitifully scarce, his taijutsu was utterly average, and eight out of every ten shuriken he threw missed the target.
He was truly making things difficult for his ancestors.
"Hey, don't tell me you really passed out?"
Kiba Inuzuka stepped forward and nudged Chenshu Senju's arm with the tip of his shoe.
The next moment.
The boy on the ground abruptly opened his eyes.
Unfamiliar memories flooded wildly into his mind, sending a stabbing pain through Chenshu Senju's temples.
The Hidden Leaf Village, the Ninja Academy, an orphan from a branch family of the Senju Clan...
He had transmigrated.
And the former owner of this body, with his diluted bloodline and years of ridicule, had actually been enraged into cardiac arrest by a few words from Kiba Inuzuka.
Chenshu Senju fell silent.
A dignified descendant of the Senju Clan, angered to death by others.
If word of such a death got out, Hashirama Senju would probably sit straight up in his coffin and ask what exactly his descendant was doing.
[Host consciousness detected awakening.] [God-Tier Ninja World Draw System is binding.] [Binding successful.] [Starter benefit granted: one ten-pull draw.]
An icy voice rang out in his mind.
Chenshu Senju paused, then his gaze changed.
A system?
He knew this stuff.
As a transmigrator, not having a system would be abnormal.
"Chenshu Senju, can you hear me?"
Seeing that he still had not reacted, Kiba Inuzuka frowned impatiently.
Chenshu Senju ignored him and spoke directly in his mind.
Begin the ten-pull draw.
[Draw successful.] [Obtained ordinary reward: Constitution Enhancement.] [Obtained ordinary reward: Ninja Tool Throwing Mastery.] [Obtained ordinary reward: Chakra Control Enhancement.] [Obtained ordinary reward: Basic Taijutsu Mastery.] [Obtained ordinary reward: Wind-Attribute Chakra.] [Obtained rare reward: Doubled Chakra Capacity.] [Obtained rare reward: Body Flicker Technique Mastery.] [Obtained rare reward: Sensory Ability Enhancement.] [Obtained epic fragment: Sage Body Fragment.] [Ten-pull guarantee activated.] [Obtained epic reward: Basic Wood Release Mastery.]
Boom!
A warm force instantly surged through every limb and bone in his body.
His once-dried chakra pathways rapidly filled with chakra, while his frail body began to change. His muscles, bones, and five senses were all noticeably strengthened.
Chenshu Senju slowly clenched his fist.
So this was what cheating felt like?
It really was unreasonable.
"Is playing dead fun?"
Kiba Inuzuka reached for his collar, still muttering, "Get up. Don't hold up everyone's training."
The instant his hand approached, Chenshu Senju vanished from the spot.
Kiba Inuzuka grabbed nothing but air.
"Where is he?"
"Behind you."
A calm voice came from behind him. Kiba Inuzuka's expression changed, and he immediately spun around with a punch.
But before his fist could land, Chenshu Senju had already seized his wrist and pulled forward with the motion.
Bang!
Kiba Inuzuka lost his balance and crashed heavily to the ground. Akamaru rolled off the top of his head as well.
The training ground instantly fell silent.
"What just happened?"
"So fast..."
"Was that the Body Flicker Technique?"
Kiba Inuzuka gritted his teeth and climbed back to his feet, his face flushed red.
Being thrown by the class dead last in front of so many people—how could he endure such humiliation?
"I just wasn't ready. Again!"
Kiba Inuzuka grabbed three shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and hurled them out.
The shuriken cut through the air, sealing off Chenshu Senju's left, right, and retreat paths.
Iruka had just been about to intervene when Chenshu Senju moved.
He merely raised one hand.
Three kunai shot out at once, accurately striking the incoming shuriken.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The six ninja tools changed direction in midair.
Before Kiba Inuzuka could react, the three kunai grazed past his cheeks and embedded themselves in the wooden target behind him.
Dead center.
As for the shuriken Kiba Inuzuka had thrown, all of them landed at his feet.
Not one was missing.
Kiba Inuzuka froze in place, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
It had only missed by a little.
Those kunai could have pierced his head just moments ago.
Chenshu Senju looked at him and asked evenly, "Still want to go again?"
"..."
Kiba Inuzuka opened his mouth, but could not say anything for a long while.
Akamaru huddled by his feet and let out a low whine.
It had smelled danger.
[Host has defeated a ninja academy student for the first time.] [Obtained one draw attempt.]
Hearing the system prompt, the corner of Chenshu Senju's lips lifted slightly.
So defeating opponents could earn him draws.
In that case, the entire ninja world was his reward pool.
"Chenshu Senju."
Iruka walked over, his expression uncertain. "Who taught you your Body Flicker Technique and ninja tool throwing?"
"I practiced them myself."
"Then why have I never seen you use them before?"
Chenshu Senju thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Maybe I fell down just now and suddenly got enlightened."
Iruka fell silent.
Kiba Inuzuka fell silent too.
The students watching stared at the ground, feeling that this explanation was even more absurd than the Ninja Academy's theory exams.
But Chenshu Senju offered no further explanation.
He passed through the crowd and headed straight out of the training grounds.
The current Hidden Leaf Village was nothing more than a vast treasure trove to him.
Bloodline limits, secret techniques, tailed beasts, Sage Body, Sharingan...
As long as he had enough draw attempts, all of it would eventually fall into his hands.
Deep in the shade of the trees.
Sasuke Uchiha leaned against a tree trunk. A single tomoe slowly turned within each of his crimson eyes.
He stared at Chenshu Senju's receding back, his expression becoming serious for the first time.
"That kind of speed..."
At the same time, in the distant Hokage Office Building, the Third Hokage set down his pipe. The crystal ball before him turned slightly, its image settling upon the noisy training grounds.
Within the crystal ball, Chenshu Senju suddenly stopped and looked back toward the Hokage Building.
The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes.
"Did this child notice?"
