On the roof of his dilapidated house, Naruto lay across the tiles beneath the starlight and closed his azure eyes.
“Purchase six rounds of taijutsu training!”
“Purchase three rounds of chakra training!”
“Purchase three rounds of hand-seal training!”
…
Naruto went on a massive shopping spree through the system’s selection of training products.
In an extremely short time, he rapidly closed the gap between himself and a true shinobi.
His physical abilities, reflexes, and constitution all improved dramatically at once.
…
A moment later, Naruto opened his azure eyes and rose to his feet.
With a single leap, he launched himself from the roof and landed against the trunk of a distant tree.
“My jumping power has increased dozens of times over.”
“I should be able to jump even farther.”
After several more leaps, Naruto easily reached a nearby forest.
Looking at the towering trees around him, Naruto licked his lips, clenched his fist, and punched forward.
Boom!
A towering tree so thick that three adults couldn’t encircle it with their arms snapped beneath Naruto’s fist.
Its dense crown crashed heavily to the ground.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Several more towering trees fell in succession, each one broken cleanly through the middle.
“My strength has also increased dozens of times over.”
Naruto approached a nearby wall and threw another punch.
Boom!
His fist blasted a massive hole through the sturdy wall.
After several more punches, the entire structure collapsed into ruins.
Fragments of stone flew in every direction as clouds of dust billowed through the air.
“My constitution has become incredibly strong.
I’ve probably reached the level of a taijutsu-focused chūnin.”
Naruto couldn’t suppress his smile.
He glanced into the distance and saw several Nara clan shinobi rushing toward him.
With a powerful leap, he disappeared.
When the Nara shinobi arrived, they found their backyard utterly devastated.
Towering trees had been snapped through the middle, the wall had been reduced to rubble, and enormous cracks covered the ground.
“Heavens!
Who did this?!” New chapters come out on novelping.com first.
“This destructive power is terrifying!
There are fist marks everywhere.
Was all of this destroyed by someone’s punches?”
“Could it be…
Has Lady Tsunade returned?”
…
After returning home, Naruto carefully assessed his current abilities.
“I possess the Scorch Release kekkei genkai.”
“My taijutsu is approximately equal to genin-level Rock Lee.”
“My kunai skills have reached the elite level.”
“Every aspect is fairly impressive, but none of them has reached its peak.
I still need a true trump card…”
“I should find an opportunity to learn some top-tier taijutsu or ninjutsu.”
Naruto’s physique had already become extraordinarily powerful.
He urgently needed a taijutsu technique that would allow him to unleash its full potential.
He turned toward the system’s taijutsu shelves.
[Forbidden Taijutsu: Eight Inner Gates]
[Eight Inner Gates: Removes the body’s limitations on chakra and releases its excess energy.
The eight gates are the Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Wonder, and Gate of Death.
However, while granting immense power, the technique also inflicts damage upon the user.]
[Price: 500,000,000 ryō]
[Senju Secret Art: Chakra-Enhanced Strength]
[Chakra-Enhanced Strength: By concentrating chakra, the user can unleash tremendous destructive power.
A single forceful stomp can produce enough power to split the earth.]
[Price: 200,000,000 ryō]
[Forbidden Taijutsu: Cellular Activation]
[Cellular Activation: By concentrating Lightning Release chakra throughout the entire body, the user cloaks themselves in chakra and lightning.
This stimulates the body and enables the use of the Lightning Body Flicker, granting speed comparable to a streak of blue lightning.]
[Price: 400,000,000 ryō]
Naruto shook his head and abandoned the idea of purchasing a taijutsu technique directly from the system.
Buying one would allow him to master it instantly, but the prices were simply too high.
It would be much better to learn the technique himself first and then purchase the corresponding training.
That method would be more than ten times cheaper.
As he considered his options, Naruto suddenly remembered something.
He removed the ninja pouch from his waist and took out a scroll.
This was the ninjutsu scroll Itachi had lost to him.
Naruto still didn’t know what techniques were recorded inside it.
He unfurled the scroll, revealing rows of black writing.
[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique] This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
[Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique]
[Fire Release: Hiding in Ash and Dust Technique]
[Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation]
[Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique]
…
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
They had actually handed over Fire Release techniques of this caliber.
Did Shisui and Itachi…
genuinely have low intelligence?
“Achoo!” Shisui sneezed.
“Achoo!” Itachi sneezed.
The two miserable Uchiha geniuses sneezed simultaneously.
Then, their faces burning red, they approached their companions.
“W-Would you like to buy a book?”
…
“Fire Release…
To unleash its full power, I need to possess a fire-natured chakra affinity…”
Naruto frowned slightly.
He now understood what Itachi had been thinking.
The only chakra nature Naruto had publicly displayed was wind.
Even with a scroll containing Fire Release techniques, he shouldn’t have been capable of becoming a true Fire Release shinobi.
Naruto’s brow relaxed as he extended his right hand.
“Blaze!”
Scorch Release flames ignited above his palm.
“Scorch Release is a kekkei genkai created from the combination of Wind and Fire Release.
That means I currently possess both wind and fire chakra natures.”
“Itachi probably never imagined that I now possess a fire affinity.”
Naruto turned his attention back to the scroll and selected the three Fire Release techniques best suited to him.
[Fire Release: Hiding in Ash and Dust Technique]
[Fire Release: Heavenly Prison]
[Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation]
“Hiding in Ash and Dust Technique allows me to exhale extremely hot ash.
It can burn the enemy while simultaneously obscuring their vision…”
“Heavenly Prison can be regarded as a sealing technique capable of restricting an enemy’s movements…”
“And Great Fire Annihilation will serve as my primary offensive technique…”
