Chapter 03: Looking For A Target, Gaining Acknowledgnt
Editor’s Notes:
‘Acknowledgnt’ is the attribute of the ‘Legacy Inheritance System’ that the main character, Uchiha Tunan, awakened when he crossed over to the Naruto World. Once a person that acknowledges him dies, Tunan will inherit all his or her abilities.
There are six ranks in Jutsu (techniques). E-rank (fundantal level), D-rank (genin level), C-rank (chunin), B-rank (jonin), A-rank (kage or jonin) and S-rank (secret or extre level)
Ti flew by, and the holidays were over in the blink of an eye. Uchiha Tunan had learned a lot about trapping, assassination, camouflage, and poisoning techniques by now. So far, the system did not send him any alerts, implying that his parents were still alive.
Two chunin cannon fodders, how co their lives were so firm?
Tunan was vexed. He couldn’t simply sit still and wait for their deaths. It was clear which political side he had to stand on. The next step was to show his value.
If he wanted to be stronger, he could only gain acknowledgnt and then kill that person. However, in a head-on battle, he couldn’t even defeat Obito, the lowest-ranked at the Ninja Academy.
The only remaining way was to covertly assassinate.
As for the ideal target, that would be soone who was not too strong or too weak, and it would be best if the person had no clue about ninja assassination techniques.
In short, he could only start with the students at the Academy.
Tunan was a first-year student. His target pool was the second or third-year students. Anyone who scored high in strength but low in intellect would be optimal. With strength, after inheriting the person’s ability, he could be outstanding among his peers.
As for why weak in intellect, because that would make it easier to kill that person.
The plan was divided into three steps.
Gain acknowledgnt, assassinate, deal with the aftermath.
He must not make any errors in any of these steps.
Gaining acknowledgnt was a prerequisite for inheriting abilities. The assassination process was as good or bad as his plan. As for dealing with the aftermath, that could be troubleso. If the Anbu were alard, then with Tunan’s limited resources, it would be very hard to run or hide.
Thinking of this, Tunan’s eyes flashed with pallid light.
……
The Ninja Academy opened the next day. This ti, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t deliver any speech. It seed that the war on the frontline had fallen into a stalemate.
During the recess, Tunan quietly left his classroom and headed to the third-year classroom.
“Tianxiong-san,” Tunan waved his hand at Uchiha Tianxiong, looking excited.
Tianxiong was a third-year student, who ranked sixth overall in the Academy. The first ranker was also from the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Zhewu.
Hearing his na being called out, Tianxiong looked over and was a little surprised. At a glance, he recognized Tunan, the trash that the clan mbers had been talking about.
He ignored him but couldn’t do so for long. Due to Tunan’s continuous calling, Tianxiong had to walk out of the classroom. He coldly asked, “Little imp, why are you looking for ?”
“I heard that Tianxiong-san is the number one genius among the graduates. Can I train with you?”
“Oh?” Tianxiong responded indifferently but the corners of his mouth rose slightly. This pleased him very much.
After thinking for a bit, he casually remarked, “Zhewu’s grade is the highest. I am just sixth. Why don’t you look for him?”
Looking confused, Tunan said, “Isn’t Zhewu-san’s overall grade good because of his high scores in the theory exams?”
“Your vision is unique. For a ninja, strength is the key. I don’t bother with those theory classes. I train in the clan’s northern training ground every day. If you want to co, you can co. If I have ti, I will give you so pointers.”
After speaking, Tianxiong put his hands in his pockets and returned to the classroom without looking back.
As for Tunan, he cheered and ran back to the first-year classroom, completely exhibiting a child’s deanor.
In the third-year classroom, Tianxiong had just returned to his seat, when Zhewu turned around and said to him lightly, “Tianxiong, don’t interact with that trash. He is the clan’s scourge.”
“Who are you to care about my matters!” Tianxiong snapped.
“Humph!” Zhewu reciprocated in equal terms and turned back.
As soon as school was over, Tunan ca to the clan’s northern training ground. As expected, Tianxiong was practicing the fire-style technique here.
“Fire Style, Great Fireball Technique.”
Boom…
A blazing fireball was released from his mouth and smashed into the pond next to the training ground.
“Wow… amazing,” Tunan stood there in shock.
Tianxiong turned his back to Tunan and smiled. He had already noticed Tunan’s arrival. The Great Fireball Technique was purely a show-off.
“Little imp, you ca,” Tianxiong turned around and said indifferently.
“Tianxiong-san is so amazing. You can actually expel such a big, big fireball,” Tunan spread his hands and drew a big circle in the air.
“It’s just a C-rank fire-style jutsu,” Tianxiong was pleased with Tunan’s reaction. He pointed to a wooden stake and said, “Your physique is too weak. Begin with taijutsu training first.”
“Okay, Tianxiong-san,” Tunan walked in front of the wooden stake, looking excited, and began to hit it earnestly.
His taijutsu was indeed too poor. Tianxiong couldn’t help giving pointers ti and again, but the result was still unsatisfactory.
Practicing till sunset, Tunan sat on the ground, panting. He was exhausted. Tianxiong too was very tired, but he kept a cool look to maintain his image. With his hands stuck in his pockets, he stood in front of Tunan and said with disdain, “Barely started training and you are already like this.”
Tunan looked dejected. He buried his head between his legs and said, “I’m sorry, I disappointed Tianxiong-san.”
“I have heard about you from the other clan mbers. Why do you have those foolish thoughts?” Tianxiong asked.
Hearing this question, Tunan lowered his head deeper and said in a sad voice, “Because I am trash, my father and mother do not like , and the clan mbers spurn . Only Lord Sandai would smile at . I feel that Lord Sandai truly loves the village, and loves us.”
So, this turned out to be the reason. The soul of the weak instinctively needed to depend on the strong. Tianxiong imdiately understood. His tone was no longer too indifferent, and he said, “In the future, you must attach most importance to the clan. Otherwise, I will not teach you.”
“I’m sorry to disappoint you,” Tunan stood up and bowed deeply to Tianxiong.
Tianxiong could hear the polite refusal in Tunan’s words, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes. He turned around and said, “Go away.”
“I’m sorry,” Tunan apologized again. He took out a book from his pocket and handed it over.
“This is my gift to Tianxiong-san. Thank you for your guidance in training .”
Hearing Tunan’s words, Tianxiong turned back, and with his gaze focused on the book, he coldly asked, “What’s this?”
Tunan sincerely answered, “During the vacation, I read the theory courses from the higher grade curriculum. I have written down so important points that could be useful in the examination. I hope that Tianxiong-san will truly beco the number one graduate.”
Tianxiong fell into a daze hearing this. When all was said and done, most of the Uchihas were arrogant. They would never easily convey their feelings. Therefore, most Uchiha clan mbers had never received gifts.
Tianxiong was no exception. Seeing the notes painstakingly put together by a junior schoolmate, his heart involuntarily trembled.
He seized the book. Slanting his head to one side like a tsundere, he said, “Humph! Rember to co early tomorrow.”
After speaking, he walked towards the clan.
‘Ding! Gained the acknowledgnt of Uchiha Tianxiong.’
Hearing the system’s prompt, Tunan was overjoyed. He waved his hand towards Tianxiong’s retreating back, and said, “Thank you, Tianxiong-san, I will work harder.”
