"Assigning Team Leader already?"
Genya raised a brow, lips curling into a faint smile as he listened to Shou Kui’s report.
The part he had been looking forward to was finally here. He was eager to properly et Sarutobi Asuma, the son of the lofty Third Hokage. He wondered whether the man had inherited his father’s wisdom.
Things were about to get interesting.
"Genya-sama... are you really going to join the team assignnt?" Kui asked, hesitant. "The Clan Leader only wanted you to graduate from the Academy, nothing more."
In Kui’s eyes, Genya was nothing short of a prodigy.
Whether it was taijutsu, ninjutsu, or even kekkei genkai, he excelled in all of them, pushing his talents to the limit.
Take the Gravity Domain, for example.
Kui himself had trained in it with unwavering dedication for years, and even now, he had only managed to master eight tis gravity.
But Genya... he was almost on par with him.
And that was terrifying.
The Gravity Domain was supposed to be Kui’s unique kekkei tota, an ability only he possessed. Logically, he should’ve been far ahead. Yet in that field, Genya showed no signs of being inferior.
It shocked him, truly.
But it was precisely because of Genya’s constant push and silent pressure that Kui had continued to train even harder.
His progress in both taijutsu and ninjutsu had improved significantly as a result.
Especially after being injected with the Uzumaki Cell Serum and the Giant Strength Cell Formula, Kui was confident he could rival any jonin.
Within his gravity domain, even against Kage-level opponents, he would not lose easily.
Eight tis gravity was no joke.
Even Might Guy, without opening the Eight Gates, would struggle to move freely under such pressure.
But that sa gravity also accelerated their physical growth.
In pure taijutsu, even Might Guy might not be a match for Genya now.
To send soone like Genya on basic missions ant for new genin—it was a waste of talent. It was an insult to Genya’s strength.
After all these years of watching Genya grow, Kui had co to understand the despair he once felt after being expelled from the Academy.
That fear... that helplessness... all of it had co from one thing—lack of strength.
As long as you have strength, there’s nothing to fear.
Genya naturally understood what Shou Kui was thinking. He smiled calmly.
"All these years of training have been getting on my nerves. It’s the perfect ti to go out and have so fun."
Right now,
The ninjutsu Genya had been practising—Infinite Chakra World—had finally borne fruit. After years of tempering, the chakra flowing through his body had beco nearly endless.
If compared directly, his chakra reserves might even surpass the Nine-Tails.
From here on, all he needed to do was absorb natural energy to refine his cells, allowing them to withstand and contain even more chakra.
As for ninjutsu, he had already mastered most of them. At this stage, the only thing left for Genya to keep training was the Spirit Transformation Technique, to further enhance his soul strength.
Both of these practices had already reached a state of automatic training. No matter the ti or place, his body was always refining itself.
"..." Shou Kui didn’t know what Genya was really thinking, but he didn’t mind.
Whatever Genya said—that was the correct path.
Every decision... was always right.
"Kui, you should get out there too," Genya said, glancing over at him. "There’s a rchant caravan heading out in a few days to escort so goods. Go with them."
Shou Kui’s eyes lit up as he nodded seriously. "Yes!"
Over the past few years... he’d often listened to returning caravans recount their journeys—the dangers on the road, the unique customs of each land. He had always yearned for that kind of experience.
And now,
He could finally step out for himself, walk the lands of the ninja world, and witness it with his own eyes.
"Alright... ti for school," Genya said, not wasting any more ti. For the first ti ever, he headed to class on ti.
At the Ninja Academy, nearly everyone had already tied the Konoha forehead protector across their brows. Their spirits were high, and their energy even higher.
With a smile on their face.
All the ones gathered this ti were the freshly promoted genin.
"Genya... you ca!"
The mont Genya stepped into the classroom, Naruto Uzumaki waved at him excitedly, face glowing with enthusiasm.
"Naruto!"
Seeing him, Genya smiled too.
He carefully observed the newly awakened, cunning Naruto.
Heh, looks like Naruto really fooled Hiruzen Sarutobi last ti.
That old man didn’t suspect a thing.
With Naruto being this scheming already, even without Orochimaru or interfering, Hiruzen won’t have it easy in the future.
"Whoa, did Genya get even stronger?"
Inside Naruto’s spiritual world, the Nine-Tails sensed Genya’s presence through the connection of their chakra.
Its fox-like face, unusually expressive, turned solemn.
If before, Genya had felt like facing Madara or Hashirama, now...
He seed like an ordinary human.
No—an enormous ordinary human.
The Nine-Tails stood beneath him, feeling as if it were just a regular fox.
That presence... it reminded it of the Sage of Six Paths himself.
Yet in reality, Genya was still just a teenager.
But that feeling—so overwhelming—it couldn’t help but take a few more spiritual glances.
"Kurama, long ti no see."
Genya locked eyes with Naruto.
Their gazes t, and in a flash, Genya’s spirit appeared in Naruto’s mindscape, facing Kurama directly.
The sudden arrival made Kurama flinch.
Its entire body tensed, fur bristling as it instantly dropped into a defensive stance.
Genya’s presence was so abrupt and overwhelming, Kurama hadn’t even sensed his approach.
That soul... that spiritual pressure... terrifying.
"Relax. I just ca to greet an old friend."
Genya smiled at Kurama’s reaction.
"When I’ve got ti, I’ll continue the story I was telling you."
Then,
His spiritual energy faded away—
As if he had never appeared in the first place.
At that mont,
The Nine-Tails finally relaxed.
Genya... just what kind of monster was he?
It hadn’t even been that long since they last t... and yet he’d gotten even stronger.
"What’s wrong?"
Naruto appeared just as Genya’s spiritual projection faded away. Seeing the Nine-Tails like that, he couldn’t help but ask.
"You didn’t feel anyone enter your spiritual world?" The Nine-Tails looked at Naruto, curiosity flashing in his eyes as he asked again.
Back then, Naruto didn’t even know of the Nine-Tails’ existence, let alone the existence of this ntal space.
It was understandable that Genya could sneak in unnoticed.
But this ti... Genya had entered Naruto’s spiritual world right out in the open!
"Nope~~ I just felt sothing change with you." Naruto furrowed his brows slightly, as if deep in thought. "Soone entered my ntal world?"
"No!" The Nine-Tails shook his head — but he was even more unsettled now.
Genya’s spiritual energy... was terrifyingly strong.
"Is that so?" Naruto was still confused, but didn’t think much of it and exited the ntal space.
"Genya..." Hinata stood nearby, looking at Genya with a shy smile on her face.
The empty seat beside her — that was Genya’s spot.
"Tch~ It’s ti for team assignnts, and he actually showed up again?" Nara Shikamaru muttered, finding Genya harder and harder to understand.
Back in the academy, Genya never even bothered showing up for classes. But now that they were dividing into squads, he suddenly reappeared.
Everyone knew that once teams were assigned, they’d be sent out to complete low-level missions.
But the Uchiha clan... did soone like Genya really need to go do those so-called missions?
