"Sanjido-sensei, please!"
At the entrance of the Ninja Academy, amidst the surprised gazes of many Ninja Academy students and parents, a seven-year-old black-haired boy blocked the path of a tall Ninja teacher.
This boy was, of course, Fujiwara Tetsuya.
To apply for early graduation, merely possessing Genin strength was not enough.
He also needed to achieve the corresponding scores in his academic subjects.
Originally, Fujiwara Tetsuya had Uncle Jiro as an option, but that scatterbrained fellow had long since returned everything he learned to the Ninja Academy teachers.
Out of desperation, Fujiwara Tetsuya had no choice but to seek help from Sanjido Suzuko, hoping she could tutor him.
That's right, tutoring! The normal kind!
"Alright! Fujiwara Tetsuya, I agree! But it has to start tomorrow; I really, truly have a very important appointment today, okay?"
Looking at Fujiwara Tetsuya in front of her, Sanjido Suzuko closed her eyes in distress.
This was already the seventh time Fujiwara Tetsuya had suddenly appeared before her today, and feeling the meaningful gazes from all around, Sanjido Suzuko shivered.
How could she possibly be interested in a boy?
To escape as quickly as possible, Sanjido Suzuko had no choice but to give in.
"Is that so! Then I'll be relying on Sanjido-sensei from now on!"
...After leaving the Ninja Academy, Fujiwara Tetsuya did not return to the clan compound as usual.
Instead, he went to the nearest training ground to his home!
To pass the Genin assessment, merely relying on the basic Three Body Technique was far from enough; he needed to at least raise them to an intermediate level.
Fortunately, the proficiency of Ninjutsu, besides being acquired through kill points and missions, could also be gained through continuous training.
After Fujiwara Tetsuya exhausted all his Chakra, he continued to push his remaining stamina, and the empty training ground echoed with constant thumping sounds.
"Oh! My pure-hearted host! Under your diligent training, Transformation Technique proficiency +1!"
"Oh! My pure-hearted host! Under your diligent training, Body Replacement Technique proficiency +1!"
...An hour later, Fujiwara Tetsuya returned to the clan compound.
However, he didn't return by himself; he was carried back by Tanaka Jiro.
After exhausting his stamina, Fujiwara Tetsuya simply fainted, and if it weren't for a passerby who saw him and notified Tanaka Jiro, Fujiwara Tetsuya would probably have slept in the training ground until late at night.
"I'm sorry! I'm not strong enough; I don't have enough ability to protect you all! Making Tetsuya bear such great pressure so early!"
In Fujiwara Tetsuya's room, Tanaka Jiro, Fujiwara Sachiko, and several young children of the Fujiwara Family gathered.
Listening to Fujiwara Tetsuya's deep sleep, Tanaka Jiro stared at Fujiwara Tetsuya's scarred hands, his nose stung, and he knelt before Fujiwara Sachiko.
He kept apologizing!
"Lord Jiro! Lift your head! The children of the Fujiwara Clan are watching!"
"This is Tetsuya's choice!"
"Lord Jiro! Tetsuya has grown up! This is the pride of our Fujiwara Clan!"
"You have no need to feel ashamed!"
Stroking Fujiwara Tetsuya's face, Fujiwara Sachiko had both pity and relief in her eyes.
From today onwards, their Fujiwara Clan also had a man.
Tetsuya!
You will surely become a powerful Ninja, just like the ancestors of my Fujiwara Family.
Time is always so fleeting; in the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed since Fujiwara Tetsuya awakened his system.
In these twenty days, through continuous hard training and Sanjido Suzuko's affectionate care after class, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally completed all the theoretical courses from the first to sixth grade of the Ninja Academy.
Fortunately, at this time, the theoretical courses were not yet filled with the will of fire content of more than ten years later, which made things much easier for Fujiwara Tetsuya.
However, this terrifying comprehension ability also made Sanjido Suzuko, after her initial surprise, gradually become more dignified.
As for his strength!
host: Fujiwara Tetsuya
Kekkei Genkai: None
Ninjutsu: Transformation Technique (Intermediate) - E, Body Replacement Technique (Intermediate) - E, Clone Technique (Intermediate) - E
Kill Points: 0
The strength panel, because Fujiwara Tetsuya had not yet completed the initial mission and obtained his Ninja certificate, was not yet unlocked.
However, according to the system's evaluation standards, Fujiwara Tetsuya had already met the requirements for Genin graduation.
Of course, this was under the normal six-year system.
To graduate early, mastering one to two low-level Ninjutsu was considered to have full confidence.
Late at night, the oil lamp in Tanaka Jiro's room still flickered incessantly.
To support the thirty-seven members of the three clans, Tanaka Jiro also put aside his so-called Ninja dignity and took on some handicraft work from merchants, hoping to earn some money to supplement the expenses of the three clans.
Although his legs were crippled, Tanaka Jiro's hands were those of a Chunin, and after long-term training, they were unusually flexible.
In terms of efficiency, he was much faster than Fujiwara Sachiko and the others.
"Uncle Jiro, does the clan still have Chakra paper?"
In the quiet, Fujiwara Tetsuya, with his long black hair, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Oh, it's Tetsuya!"
"Sit!"
Seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya approach, Tanaka Jiro laughed heartily, but secretly pushed the small crafts in front of him into a corner behind him, concealing them.
"Chakra paper? Tetsuya, wait for me; I'll go get it right now!"
Facing Fujiwara Tetsuya's bright gaze, Tanaka Jiro didn't hesitate at all, turning and walking towards a room.
Tanaka Jiro had seen all of Fujiwara Tetsuya's changes over these twenty days.
Among so many clan members, if there was anyone most hopeful of becoming a Ninja, in Tanaka Jiro's opinion, it was undoubtedly Fujiwara Tetsuya.
In just a blink of an eye, Tanaka Jiro came to Fujiwara Tetsuya's side, holding a wooden box.
Under Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze, Tanaka Jiro took out all the few remaining Chakra papers from the wooden box.
This was probably the entire inventory of the three clans.
"Tetsuya, this is Chakra paper."
"For Ninja, Chakra is usually divided into five attributes: Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth. For Ninja of the Fujiwara Clan, Water-attribute Chakra is usually predominant, while for Tanaka and Uesugi, Earth and Fire are the main ones."
"By the way, Tetsuya, do you know how to use Chakra paper?"
"Uncle Jiro, have you forgotten! I'm currently the top student in theoretical classes in my class; I still know this basic knowledge."
Taking the Chakra paper handed to him by Tanaka Jiro, Fujiwara Tetsuya sniffed his nose in dissatisfaction.
Now, he had made the magnificent transformation from a poor student to a top student.
Don't you see, those little lolis in his class can't stop leaning on him, and he has become the recognized enemy in the eyes of those little boys.
As Fujiwara Tetsuya injected his Chakra, the Chakra paper in his hand quickly became wet, and when it spread to two-thirds of the way, it quickly wrinkled.
Lightning and Water, then!
It's not too bad!
