Chapter 1: Gen Takuno and the Sharingan Hero
In the Land of Fire, within Konoha Village.
With a pale face, Takuno Minamoto sat in Ichiraku Ramen, enjoying one of Naruto's iconic dishes while listening to the discussions around him.
Beneath his unmoved expression, a hint of emotion slowly surfaced.
The discussions in the noodle shop were quite chaotic, but the biggest topic recently was about the youngest Jonin, Kakashi Hatake.
Although it's been a while since the other person became a Jonin, such a young Jonin still sparks countless discussions and sighs.
At this time, the discussion about Kakashi Hatake seems to be limited to this. What has caused such a big discussion again is that after returning from the war with Iwagakure, Kakashi Hatake has an extra Sharingan that cannot be turned off!
It is said that Kakashi Hatake's left eye was injured, and he inherited the power of the bloodline limit, the Sharingan, from Obito Uchiha, who died in battle!
That is the bloodline symbol of the Uchiha clan in Konoha. Even within the Uchiha clan, the number of people who have awakened the Sharingan is definitely not large, and even those who have awakened the Sharingan are mostly one-tomoe. Not to mention that Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan is two-tomoe!
The Sharingan combined with the greatest genius in history, Kakashi Hatake, is generating a lot of buzz among the villagers.
Yuan Tuoye, standing nearby, couldn't help but sneer. At this moment, who could have imagined that this Sharingan would not be a good thing for such a genius as Hatake Kakashi?
It's not that this Sharingan isn't strong, but rather that it's not suitable for Kakashi Hatake in his current state.
Even though Kakashi Hatake has become a Jonin, he is still only twelve years old. At this age, Kakashi's body is not fully developed, and his chakra reserves are relatively small.
However, he did not have the Uchiha bloodline, and his Sharingan was always active. With limited chakra reserves, having an extra Sharingan that constantly consumed chakra undoubtedly severely hampered his growth.
Of course, the Sharingan is undoubtedly a good bloodline limit, which will definitely greatly enhance combat power, and this cannot be denied.
Therefore, the best option for Kakashi Hatake is to seal the Sharingan first and then unseal it when his chakra level increases. This way, he can both grow stronger and develop his Sharingan combat power without any problems. Perhaps his proficiency with the Sharingan will decrease a bit.
However, given Kakashi Hatake's talent, this level of proficiency is not a problem.
This should not be hard to imagine, but Kakashi Hatake did not make this choice. He had Kushina Uzumaki, a master of sealing techniques, as his teacher, and Minato Namikaze, who had been trained by Kushina Uzumaki to a higher level in barrier-type sealing techniques.
It's not that he couldn't complete the seal, so it's probably because this is a memento left to him by Obito Uchiha, which is why he refused to seal this Sharingan.
"Obito Uchiha's Sharingan..."
Yuan Tuoye muttered to himself, a hint of envy in his eyes. He really wanted that Sharingan with Kamui abilities.
Unfortunately, considering that Madara Uchiha was behind Obito Uchiha and Minato Namikaze was behind Kakashi Hatake, this idea had to be abandoned.
He is still a special Jonin of Konoha, and this identity can bring him many conveniences, so he does not plan to give it up for the time being.
After shaking his head helplessly, a burning light appeared in Yuan Tuono's eyes. It wasn't that he had thought of another way to obtain divine power, but rather because...
"Has it finally... come to this?"
Looking at his pale face through the clear soup in the bowl, Yuan Tuoye's gaze drifted into the distance. He had waited far too long for this day.
Minamoto no Takuno, a Konoha Special Jonin, is twenty-seven years old this year. Reaching the level of Special Jonin at this age basically means that his strength has reached its limit. Further improvement would only involve adding some special ninjutsu and gaining some minor enhancements.
This is not because he didn't work hard; in fact, you could say his level of effort was no less than that of Matt Kay.
Of course, this doesn't refer to physical skills. He had tried to become stronger through physical skills, but the result was that his talent in physical skills was very average. He couldn't train like Might Guy at all, and if he forced himself to train, he would only ruin his body.
After realizing that his chakra and taijutsu talents were average, and he didn't have the system cheat that was necessary for transmigrating, Gen Takuno was dumbfounded.
The world of Naruto is far from peaceful!
In his twenty-odd years of life, he experienced both the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars. Although he survived, it can only be described as a stroke of luck.
In this kind of war, ordinary genin are cannon fodder, while chunin are stronger cannon fodder. As for special jonin?
That's just because Jonin has a better reputation. In reality, their strength is only at the level of elite Chunin, and elite Chunin are... elite cannon fodder?
Yuan Tuoye was not afraid of death; he just didn't want to die so inexplicably and meaninglessly.
In fact, he himself did not know how he came into this world. He simply closed his eyes and opened them, and he became a member of Konoha with the memories of his previous life. He did not suffer the serious injury from the dump truck.
Thinking about it now, perhaps the role of dump trucks is not just to inflict heavy damage, but also a means of distribution?
Yuan Tuoye shook his head. It was no use worrying about these things now. If the system hadn't come by this point, it probably wouldn't come at all. At most, he could give it a sliver of hope that the system would come when the protagonist was born or when the story began.
Does he have any outstanding qualities? Yes, he does.
That is his exquisite control over chakra, but no matter how strong his control is, it cannot overcome the fact that his chakra level is very low.
Even now, he only has the chakra reserves of an average Chunin. That's right, at twenty-seven years old, his chakra reserves are only at the level of an average Chunin, and they may even decrease as he gets older...
That's...outrageous.
If it weren't for his considerable talent in ninjutsu, he might not have even been able to achieve the status of a special Jonin!
Thinking about this, Yuan Tuoye felt a little depressed. It was one thing not to give him the system, but not even enough talent was going too far.
Fortunately, there's always a way out; at least his memories can be his advantage.
For example, the ninjutsu he's been eyeing—the Demon Sprout Technique—has finally been made available.
Minamoto no Takuno had been eyeing the Jonin named Hiruko for a long time. The reason he hadn't made a move before wasn't because he had no opportunity, but because he wasn't sure if Hiruko had successfully developed the Oni-Garra Technique.
This point in time is when the other party was spying on Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan, and even secretly used the Puppet Technique on Kakashi Hatake. This point in time can basically determine that the Demon Sprite Technique has been completed, or at least most of it has been completed.
Later, the other party will be hunted down by the Sannin because the experiment was exposed, and will leave Konoha to collect complete corpses with bloodline limits. Judging from his memories, this should be around this time.
During this time, Hiruko would also use puppetry on Kakashi Hatake; all he needed to do was wait quietly for the other to leave the experimental base.
Yuan Tuoye took a deep breath, and his hand, which wasn't holding chopsticks, quietly formed a hand seal.
"Spiritual Communication - The Art of Clairvoyance".
The next moment, his gaze seemed to pass through the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant and arrive above the very secluded experimental base.
On a large tree next to the experimental base, a crow was preening its black feathers with its beak while keeping a close eye on the commotion below with its red eyes.
The crows were originally just ordinary crows, but after being carefully nurtured by Genji using chakra, they barely gained sentience and became his summoning beasts.
"Still no movement?"
Looking at the experimental base through the crow's eyes, Gen Takuno was not surprised. Regardless of whether the news had reached Hiruko, it was not suitable for the other party to take action in broad daylight.
After observing Hiruko's experimental base for a while, Genji Takuno also deactivated his Clairvoyance technique.
Next, he just had to wait for his summoning beast to notify him. Unfortunately, his summoning beast was just an ordinary crow and couldn't do the reverse summoning of those summoning beasts with inheritances. However, it could still notify him within a certain range using chakra.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Tuoye had the other crows gather around the experimental base and disperse to observe from a distance.
After doing all that, Gen Takuno also held up the large bowl of Ichiraku Ramen, drank the remaining broth, and sighed.
No wonder it's the ramen that the main character never gets tired of eating; the taste is truly top-notch.
"Boss, check please."
