Yecheng hadn't expected that speaking up for Naruto would cause such a stir.
The Fate Points he received from just the few young standouts in his class had already given him enough for a ten-pull.
Finally, Naruto's affection for him had risen another level. Their bond had deepened, and the Fate Points it yielded actually exceeded those from the Third Hokage!
It seemed that getting along with them couldn't stop at casual friendship. He had to forge bonds and become their true companion.
Yecheng was no longer in the mood to listen to the remaining students introduce themselves.
He wanted to draw cards!
"My turn! Draw!"
[Performing ten-pull. Cards drawn successfully!]
Ten face-down cards immediately appeared before Yecheng's eyes.
According to the system's introduction, a ten-pull guaranteed a purple card. He couldn't wait to see what good stuff he would get this time.
"System, show me your limits!"
Yecheng rubbed his hands like a fly and flipped over the first card.
[Enhancement Card obtained: cursed energy.] Blue.
[Enhancement Card obtained: physique.] White.
[Physique], [physique], [physique], [Cursed energy]...
Six cards in a row, and they were all blue skies and white clouds?!
Yecheng nearly rolled his eyes back and passed out from anger.
Come on, I finally scraped together enough for a ten-pull. They can't all be this stuff!
At that moment, Yecheng vaguely realized that his miraculous single pull earlier might have used up all his luck!
He took a few deep breaths and suddenly spotted Naruto beside him.
Huh, my luck might be bad, but isn't there a Child of Fortune right beside me?
He immediately grabbed Naruto, instantly refined his fortune, and drew four cards in a row with his right hand!
Give me something good, something good! It has to be something good!
[Enhancement Card obtained: cursed energy.]
Blue again!
Yecheng despaired.
Just then, a color different from blue skies and white clouds appeared.
[Item Card obtained: Shikigami: Moon Dregs.] Green!
[Skill Card obtained: Cursed Energy Reinforcement.] Green!
[Wow, a golden legendary!]
[Skill Card obtained: Ten Shadows Technique!]
Ah! Ooh!
I hit the jackpot!
Another gold!
And it was the Ten Shadows Technique, a top-tier cursed technique passed down among the Three Great Jujutsu Families in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen!
Also known as nine animal companions and a mysterious suicide truck.
This cursed technique could summon a total of ten kinds of shikigami from shadows. Each shikigami had its own special abilities, with fighting spirit and endurance that stunned everyone, while the final shikigami, Mahoraga, could deliver an unexpected surprise!
It could practically be called the most functional, most comprehensive cursed technique!
With this gold card backing him, Yecheng was taking off-woohoo!
The only drawback was that he had to perform the Ten Shadows Technique's Subjugation himself, or he couldn't use the shikigami.
But that was fine!
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, almost all jujutsu sorcerers had only one way to deal damage, so Subjugation might be difficult. But in the world of Naruto, Yecheng could learn plenty of powerful ninjutsu to strengthen himself. He had no shortage of options, so Subjugation wasn't much of a problem at all!
Just imagining himself fighting someone in the future, with Sage Mode active, the adapting Dharma Wheel above his head, and Six Eyes analyzing his enemy...
Ohohoho, that's ridiculous!
The sight was so beautiful, I hardly dared imagine it!
Having learned his lesson from merging with Six Eyes last time, Yecheng didn't use this card yet. He would wait until he got home after school.
He didn't even use [Shikigami: Moon Dregs] or [Cursed Energy Reinforcement], afraid something unexpected might happen.
Still, using the blue skies and white clouds should be fine.
Yecheng chose to use the four [physique] and three [cursed energy] enhancement cards on the spot.
Instantly, warm currents surged through his body, while a cool sensation spread through his brain.
As its name suggested, the [physique] card enhanced Yecheng's basic physical fitness, comprehensively improving his stamina, strength, neural coordination, muscle strength, and so on. He wouldn't end up breaking his own bones by throwing a punch.
The [cursed energy] cards produced a slight surprise. Since the world of Naruto had no cursed energy, the cards converted directly into chakra and were stored in his body.
Normally, at just six years old, their bodies were still weak. They could only extract chakra when they needed it, while ordinarily storing it in their bodies as stamina.
Only ninjas at the Chunin level had the capacity to extract chakra and store it in their bodies, allowing them to launch attacks faster in unexpected situations.
Only Jonin could store large quantities of chakra in their bodies while honing their bodies and minds, training this way to slowly increase their chakra reserves.
Above that was the S-rank ninjutsu called the Yin Seal, which could collect and store excess chakra from everyday life, then release it all at once when needed to greatly increase combat power!
Yet Yecheng could now achieve something similar to the Yin Seal, leaving him marveling at the wonders of the system's effects.
After using the seven enhancement cards, Yecheng felt he could kill an ox with a single punch!
Of course, that was only an illusion caused by a drastic increase in strength over a short period.
Still, he was much stronger than before.
After lunch, the afternoon brought ninjutsu and taijutsu classes.
Students at the Ninja Academy weren't taught particularly advanced ninjutsu. Their lessons focused on the Three Basic Techniques: the Transformation Technique, the Substitution Technique, and the Clone Technique.
These primarily trained the students' ability to extract chakra, control chakra, and use Shape Transformation.
In truth, most people at the Ninja Academy had mediocre talent. Anyone who mastered the Three Basic Techniques already surpassed ninety percent of their peers and could just about serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
As for why the protagonist's companions in the original story all seemed outstanding, the answer was right there in the question: anyone who wasn't outstanding couldn't join the main cast.
But none of this posed a problem for Yecheng.
With Six Eyes, Yecheng learned ninjutsu as simple as the Three Basic Techniques on the spot after seeing them just once.
In fact, having already trained his chakra control to the second stage, he could perform them without hand seals, simply by using Six Eyes to perfectly reproduce the paths of chakra circulation.
This reminded him of something mentioned in the original story: Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, had invented the Twelve Hand Seals to simplify the requirements for using techniques and allow everyone to wield the miraculous power of chakra. He had taught them to everyone, and the seals had been passed down ever since.
Simply put, he had made it open source.
In other words, someone capable enough could use ninjutsu without forming hand seals.
Despite this discovery, Yecheng still pretended to form hand seals in class. Using ninjutsu without hand seals was simply too shocking. Pot Kage Danzo would surely catch wind of it and come knocking.
It was better to be careful.
Still, Yecheng's success with the Three Basic Techniques on his first attempt caused quite a stir. His watching classmates cried out in surprise, and even the teacher demonstrating the Three Basic Techniques was rather amazed.
Fortunately, the children from other ninja clans performed just as well, so he didn't stand out that much.
The school day soon passed, and the students were picked up by their respective parents.
Unlike in the original story, Naruto didn't leave all alone. Instead, he eagerly trailed after Yecheng, asking him to teach him the Three Basic Techniques.
Yecheng had no objections, and the two headed toward the river, planning to put in some extra training and take care of their food needs along the way.
But Yecheng didn't yet know that someone had already reported everything he had done at the Ninja Academy that day.
Following the advice of the experts in the group, I've changed the update time to eight in the evening. That means there are four chapters today, and there won't be any after midnight.
