Return to the Naruto World

"Sengoku showed me your file."

"To be honest, I didn't believe it at first. A fifteen-year-old Great Swordsman was unheard of... but now I've changed my mind."

Zephyr's face was filled with emotion as he said in astonishment:

"You are absolutely a Great Swordsman!"

"And not an ordinary one."

"You rank among the very best even among Great Swordsmen!"

Junichi was somewhat surprised by those words and could not help glancing at him.

This Zephyr had sharp eyes!

He had actually seen that Junichi had gone very far on the path of a Great Swordsman.

[Flying Slash · Special (Max Level Upon Unlock)]

Because it reached max level as soon as it was unlocked, the moment he broke through to Great Swordsman, he had reached the end of that realm.

Moreover, he had already grasped the beginnings of the next realm.

That was his self-created skill—

[Eye Sword · Beginner (10/100)]

"You're joining the first-year class. Your dorm is a single room, and here is a map of the areas you're allowed to access on the island. Take a look."

Zephyr was equally straightforward. He turned around, took out the prepared documents, and handed them to Junichi.

"I've signed all the necessary paperwork."

"You'll need to go to the General Affairs Department to collect your trainee ID, bedding, daily necessities, class schedule, and so on."

"Classes officially begin tomorrow."

"Any questions?"

Zephyr asked.

"No." Junichi shook his head.

"Good. If there's nothing else, you can go get ready. If you have any questions, come find me here." Zephyr patted him on the shoulder.

Junichi gave a polite nod, said his farewell, and left.

After leaving the office, he took a deep breath, opened his panel, and his gaze turned solemn.

[Rejection Rate: 75.39%/100%]

As he grew stronger, his daily appetite increased, as did the resources he consumed.

The rejection rate was accumulating at an even faster pace.

"There's enough time for me to learn the Six Powers." Junichi murmured, "Once I've learned them, I'll return and resolve the crisis of the Uchiha Clan massacre."

The next day, Junichi appeared in the first-year classroom.

He swept his gaze across the trainees and paused briefly on two familiar faces.

Hina.

Smoker.

The future Navy rear admirals.

The former was a Cage-Cage Fruit user, while the latter was a Smoke-Smoke Fruit user.

But after one glance, Junichi withdrew his gaze. He had little interest in either of them.

Their potential was too low.

They were not qualified to take the stage in the later storyline.

"Trainee Junichi, take the empty seat in the back," the instructor said.

"Alright."

Junichi nodded and walked over to sit down.

Quite a few people turned to look at him.

All the trainees in this class knew that a transfer student would be joining them.

To prevent another incident like Kaji's, Zephyr had informed them in advance of some of Junichi's details.

Fifteen years old, a Great Swordsman!

The moment that news came out, the entire training camp, instructors included, was thrown into uncertainty.

No one dared provoke Junichi casually.

Junichi was happy to have the peace and quiet. He sat silently at his desk, reading texts on the Six Powers.

The elite training camp also taught the Six Powers.

Its principles, details, techniques, and other information were all recorded.

Yet many people still failed to learn them.

Because the requirements were too harsh.

Everyone who could master the Six Powers was superhuman.

"But that's not a problem for me. I can cheat." Junichi carefully studied the introduction to the Six Powers.

[You are learning Six Powers: Shave. Proficiency +1]

[You are learning Six Powers: Moonwalk. Proficiency +1]

[You are learning Six Powers: Finger Pistol. Proficiency +1]

[You are learning Six Powers: Tempest Kick. Proficiency +1]

[You are learning Six Powers: Paper Arts. Proficiency +1]

[You are learning Six Powers: Iron Body. Proficiency +1]

In the days that followed, Junichi studied the Six Powers without fail every day.

At the same time, he wolfed down the special nutrient solution, medicinal liquids, food, and other supplies issued by the training camp.

His entire body swelled as though inflated like a balloon.

Tall, powerful, sturdy, full...

Compared to how he had been in the Naruto World, he was like an adult compared to a child. He had become an entirely different person.

Returning to the Naruto World with this physique would naturally draw suspicion.

But Junichi did not care. When the time came, he could just make up some excuse to brush it off.

Whoever had an objection would get a slash from him.

If they could withstand one of his slashes, Junichi would not mind specially inventing an excuse for them.

Elsewhere, at a private gathering of the first-year trainees, Hina found Smoker and spoke with an irritated expression. "Hey, what are you planning to do about the field assessment in three months?"

"We'll handle it as it comes." Smoker shrugged indifferently.

"Huh?"

Hina immediately huffed and said unhappily, "Junichi Uchiha is a Great Swordsman. If he joins in, nobody else will get anything."

"This assessment affects our credits!"

"Don't you want a Devil Fruit anymore?"

Smoker scratched his head at that.

The Navy was enormous, so naturally it could gather quite a few Devil Fruits to reward outstanding members within its ranks.

In the elite training camp, when each class graduated, the trainee with the highest credits could choose one Devil Fruit.

Originally, only Smoker and Hina had been competing.

But now, with Junichi Uchiha in the mix, it seemed like neither of them had a chance.

"Then what do you suggest?" Smoker asked helplessly. "We're only half a semester ahead of him in credits."

"Join forces!" Hina said seriously.

"Join forces?"

"That's right. We'll complete the assessment first and deny him the chance to earn credits!" Hina said.

Smoker fell into thought.

After a long while, he slowly nodded. "Alright, I agree!"

Together, they still had a slight chance.

Otherwise, the Devil Fruit was destined to belong to Junichi Uchiha.

They had no ability to compete with a Great Swordsman.

Meanwhile, inside his single dorm room, Junichi was drenched in sweat, panting heavily as his muscles trembled without pause.

He summoned the system panel in his mind.

[You trained in the Six Powers once. Proficiency +1]

[Ding!]

[Your Six Powers proficiency has met the requirement and has automatically advanced.]

[Six Powers · (Not Unlocked) → (Beginner)]

Boom!

In an instant, a vast amount of knowledge flooded Junichi's mind.

It was all kinds of insights and understanding regarding the Six Powers.

He had mastered these inhuman techniques!

And only one week had passed since Junichi joined the training camp and began training in the Six Powers!

He had learned the Six Powers in one week.

If news of that speed got out, it would leave everyone utterly stunned.

Even within Cipher Pol, those who began training from childhood needed an average of twelve years before they could possibly learn the Six Powers.

Even Rob Lucci, that freak, had spent six years.

Junichi, on the other hand, had taken only one week.

"Cheating really feels great."

Junichi nodded with a sigh and closed his personal panel.

He turned and walked into the bathroom, intending to wash up, when his eyes suddenly grew scorching hot.

He turned to look at the mirror.

Zing!

His Sharingan activated. Two tomoe spun within his eyes before a third tomoe instantly split off.

An even more bewitching light shone from his pupils.

Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

"Three tomoe already..." Junichi was a little surprised, but it also made sense.

In the Pirate World, nourished by abundant energy, the ocular power of his Sharingan had been naturally condensing and growing stronger without needing emotional stimulation.

At this point, a month had already passed since he awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

Awakening the Three-Tomoe Sharingan was only natural.

"The rejection rate is nearly full too..." Junichi washed his body while staring into empty space.

[Rejection Rate: 99.23%/100%]

"Just in time—I mastered the Six Powers and awakened three tomoe."

Junichi nodded and muttered, "There's no need to drag out that last bit."

"Once I recover my strength, I'll head back directly."

With that, Junichi finished washing up, changed into comfortable clothes, and lay down on the bed to rest.

Late at night.

He slowly woke and opened his eyes.

The energy he had expended training during the day had been fully restored.

It was time to head back.

System, return to the Naruto World, Junichi silently said.

[Return to the Naruto World. Confirm?]

Confirm!

Whoosh!

The next moment, endless white light surged forth and swallowed him.
