Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Name: Shinichi Higashino

Occupation: Swordsman/Ninja Academy Student

Talents: Genius (Blue), Intuition (Green), Auspicious Omen (Green), Big Eater (Green), Diligence Can Make Up for Lack of Talent (Green), Quick-witted (Green), Innate Super Strength (Green), Thick Skin and Thick Flesh (Green), Swift as a Rabbit (Green), Swordsmanship Proficiency (Green), Affinity (White), Calmness (White), Wind Release Basics (White), Taijutsu Basics (White), Fire Release Basics (White).

Walking along the path home, the setting sun stretched his shadow long. Shinichi habitually sank his mind into the depths of his consciousness, summoning the personal panel that only he could see.

Compared to two years ago, there are significant changes on the panel. [Thick Skin (Green)] has replaced the former [Resilience (White)], [Swift as a Rabbit (Green)] is an upgrade from [Agility (White)], [Big Eater (Green)] is derived from [Foodie (White)], and [Spiritual Sense (Green)] is derived from [Sensitivity (White)].

In addition, a brand new white entry has appeared on the panel:

[Fire Release Basics (White): Your perception of fire-style chakra is more acute, and your control is smoother. Your efficiency and success rate when learning and performing basic fire-style ninjutsu are slightly improved.]

This entry's characteristics are similar to the [Wind Release Basics (White)] he obtained in his early years, except that it corresponds to the fire attribute.

Shinichi was initially somewhat surprised by its creation, as he had originally intended to create a more comprehensive entry such as "Basic Ninjutsu".

But upon closer reflection, the reason might be that in the past two years, in all the competitions and assessments at school, he has consistently used Fire Release ninjutsu the most frequently and performed the best.

In the eyes of classmates and teachers, the impression that Shinichi Higashino is very good at fire release techniques is probably more specific and profound than the more generalized perception that he is very good at ninjutsu. The term system once again demonstrates its generation logic based on specific perceptions.

Another phenomenon that made him think was that the "Physical Skills Basics (White)" entry had not been upgraded to green despite his continuous demonstration and improvement of physical skills over the past two years.

It can only be said that when Shinichi fought Kakashi, the effect of his swordsmanship directly defeating the White Fang's sword technique, using the world-famous White Fang of Konoha as a stepping stone, was even greater and more lasting than he had imagined.

In that battle, his brilliance in swordsmanship even overshadowed his solid physical skills to some extent.

When people mention his physical skills, they might praise his excellent foundation and great strength, but the deeper admiration and labels they have are more drawn to his swordsmanship.

As for entries related to illusion techniques, it's not that he didn't want to create them, but there was a Kurenai Yuhi in his grade who not only had high talent in illusion techniques, but also had a father who was a Jonin in illusion techniques.

Shinichi couldn't think of any way to overshadow the brilliance of this illusion genius, especially since his initial focus was on developing physical attributes.

After Uchiha Shisui enrolled in the academy, Shinichi lost all interest in developing a character with genjutsu abilities.

Shinichi turned his gaze away from his personal panel.

Through more than two years of continuous cognitive management and refinement, he is well aware that the entries on his panel are far from being rich or perfect.

If he had enough time, he could create more white entries like carving jade, slowly nurturing each white entry to green, and even try to reach the higher blue realm, making the foundation impeccable.

However, time is running out.

Based on his calculations using fragmented information from the original work and the average graduation age of his class, it will be more than a year before the fragile stability of the ninja world is completely shattered.

This was the fundamental reason why he decided to graduate early. His original plan was to solidify his foundation before graduating.

But as I said before, time is running out.

Step 1: Graduate early and become a genin.

At that time, the job title "[Ninja Academy Student]" will naturally advance to "[Genin]". The increase in job level will inevitably bring more significant all-round enhancements related to ninja talents.

In addition, according to previous patterns, career advancement is almost always accompanied by a chance to draw a brand new, directly obtainable green attribute that can immediately strengthen his ability system.

Step 2: Quickly advance to Chunin level.

This plan was even more radical; he intended to try to participate in the Chunin Exams in the same year he graduated and became a Genin, or through other feasible means, strive to be promoted to Chunin as quickly as possible.

If successful, the [Genin] attribute will be upgraded to [Chunin] again. This not only means that the related benefits brought by the profession will leap forward again, but more importantly, starting from Chunin, there may be a chance to trigger a higher level of draw - the blue attribute draw opportunity.

If everything goes smoothly according to this plan, when the situation in the ninja world truly begins to deteriorate in a little over a year, he will possess:

A stronger boost to the [Chunin] class attribute.

A new green entry obtained from promotion to Genin.

A new blue keyword that may be obtained from Chunin promotion.

The combined effect of these three factors will lead to a significant leap in strength, enabling him to face the impending trials of blood and fire with greater confidence and power, and to possess stronger self-protection capabilities in the early stages of turmoil.

"So the next entry should be the last one I generate during my time at the Ninja Academy."

Shinichi snapped out of his thoughts and turned his gaze to his hands.

At this moment, he was slowly twirling two solid black iron balls in his palm, a habit he had suddenly developed more than a year ago.

To outsiders, this is simply a training method—using the rotation and friction of the iron ball to activate the joints and muscles of the fingers, palms, wrists, and elbows, enhancing their flexibility and strength, which in turn benefits the hand seal speed that is crucial for ninjas.

While this reasoning is valid, Shinichi's purpose goes far beyond that.

His deeper intention was to accomplish something that would shake the entire Hidden Leaf Village, thereby creating a comprehensive entry on ninjutsu.

Although he had only generated attribute-specific entries like "Fire Release Basics" instead of the more comprehensive entries he had hoped for, which made him feel that his plan had not been fully realized, he was not discouraged.

In fact, he had long planned how to create and ultimately generate a powerful, comprehensive ninjutsu entry. This plan could even be traced back to shortly after he entered the ninja academy.

It is a long-term plan that requires extensive research and will be launched at a specific time.

The trigger point was the opening ceremony of the new semester, which took place a few days later.

If everything goes smoothly and his plan is realized, then what will be produced will likely not be white, or even green.

It's a blue-level general ninjutsu entry!

This will be the last entry he meticulously crafted during his time at the Ninja Academy, and also the most significant farewell gift for his early graduation.
