"Damn it, system, are you kidding me!" Zhang Ye immediately cursed, though only in his mind.

"Ding! Please do not insult this system. Now that you possess this system, becoming a special Jonin within two years is a piece of cake, unless you tell me you are a piece of trash!"

This time, the system surprisingly didn't use the honorifics it used before, addressing Zhang Ye directly as "you".

"But how could this be something a human could possibly accomplish!"

Zhang Ye racked his brains but couldn't imagine anyone in the original story who could become a special Jonin in just two years without even graduating from the Ninja Academy.

Even Kakashi, who rose through the ranks the fastest, spent seven years after graduating from the Ninja Academy before becoming a Jonin.

"Ding! A new mission has been detected. Do you wish to accept it?"

Zhang Ye scoffed, "Another mission? Since I already have an impossible mission, what am I afraid of!"

"Ding! Host, there's no need to rack your brains over the [Household Name] mission. There are people in Konoha who have become Special Jonin in just two years at the Ninja Academy!"

"Really?" Zhang Ye asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"

"One is Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, who became a Special Jonin in two years. The other is Izayoi Kokuya, who became a Special Jonin in a year and a half. So, host, you still have hope!"

"What, my father!?"

The first name was self-explanatory, everyone knew who it belonged to, but the second name was very familiar to Zhang Ye; it was the name of the original owner of the body's father.

He graduated from the Ninja Academy and became a Special Jonin in just a year and a half, even faster than Orochimaru's promotion speed.

"If Father can do it, then so can I!"

Chapter Fourteen: Duel

Midnight is usually a time for quiet dreams, but tonight is different.

A ten-year-old boy stared blankly at the house engulfed in flames, the flames' claws taking away one person after another.

Above the sea of ​​fire stood a man of similar age, wearing a crimson arm guard on his left arm with gems that shimmered with an eerie light. At the same time, a raging flame burned on his right hand, which was the source of the fire below.

A couple, their bodies writhing in flames, rushed toward him.

"Jianren, run..."

These were the couple's last words, and the stunned boy was Uchiha Taketo.

"Izayoi... Zhang Ye!" He uttered Zhang Ye's full name from his trembling lips.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ye heard someone calling his name, and he swooped down to look at Uchiha Kento with a mocking expression.

At the same time, he raised his leg and kicked Uchiha Kento in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground.

"Hey, isn't this the Uchiha clan's genius, Kento? What's wrong with you? Who scared you like that, hahaha!" Zhang Ye stepped on Kento's face and burst into laughter.

"what……"

Uchiha Kento sprang straight up from the bed, his face covered in cold sweat, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Izayoi Zhang Ye, I will never forgive you!"

Ever since the day Zhang Ye fought Bai Jingxiu, he has often dreamed about Zhang Ye. Of course, it's not that he's fallen in love with Zhang Ye, but in every dream, he is defeated by Zhang Ye and watches helplessly as Zhang Ye mocks him.

However, our protagonist is currently fast asleep in bed, having a dream—a pleasant one, though he is completely unaware that he has been resented.

Silent all night.

As he stepped out of the room, Jiraiya had already bought breakfast from outside.

"It's already ten o'clock, and you're only just getting up. Did you do something shady again yesterday?" Jiraiya looked at Zhang Ye with a lewd gaze.

It was 10 o'clock. Zhang Ye remembered the mission issued by the system yesterday, which said that Uchiha Kento would come to challenge him at 9:00 AM. There was still one hour left until 9:00 AM.

"System, are you kidding me? It's already past 9 AM, and I still haven't seen Uchiha Kento!" Zhang Ye asked in his mind with practiced ease.

"Please rest assured, host. There is still one hour before the hour of Si (9-11 AM). Uchiha Kento will definitely arrive within this hour!"

Seeing Zhang Ye lost in thought, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "Wow, our little Ye is having romantic feelings too!"

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. During the time he lived with Jiraiya, Zhang Ye had long since become immune to all poisons, but Jiraiya still enjoyed it immensely.

"No, I just played with Aunt Tsunade too late yesterday and I'm a little tired. Unlike someone, who has been chasing me for so long and still hasn't caught up!"

Zhang Ye deliberately emphasized the word "play," because he knew that Jiraiya had liked Tsunade since childhood.

Click!

Jiraiya accidentally broke his chopsticks, and he looked at Zhang Ye awkwardly.

This was the first time Zhang Ye had teased Jiraiya since moving into his house, and this stab was quite damaging to Jiraiya. Everyone in the village knew about his pursuit of Tsunade, and some people didn't dare to directly mock him out of respect for Jiraiya.

But Zhang Ye didn't care about any of that. If you dare to mock me, I'll mock you in return!

"Alright, that's enough, let's eat, let's eat!" Jiraiya wiped away imaginary sweat and ate large mouthfuls of white rice.

Boom boom boom!

"It must be that little girl Kushina. I'll go open the door!" Jiraiya smiled and opened the door, but standing there was not Kushina, but a strange little boy.

"Hello, Jiraiya-sama, I'm Zhang Ye's classmate. I need to speak with him!" Jianren said politely.

"Oh, I see!"

The Uchiha clan? What do they want with Xiao Ye?

He turned to Zhang Ye, who was eating, and called out, "Xiao Ye, your classmate is here to see you!"

Zhang Ye responded and went to the door. "Uchiha Kento?"

Upon seeing Zhang Ye, Uchiha Kento's expression turned cold. He pulled a shuriken with a letter bearing the Uchiha symbol from his satchel and threw it between Zhang Ye's legs.

Uchiha Kento bowed to Jiraiya, then turned and left.

"Uchiha...a duel..." Jiraiya looked at the shuriken at Zhang Ye's feet with a heavy expression and asked, "Have you offended the Uchiha clan?"

"I don't know!" Zhang Ye's lips curled up slightly.

finally come!

This is a duel that the Uchiha would only propose to an enemy. Once accepted, it means a fight to the death. Because it is a rule that has been passed down in the Uchiha clan, Konoha will not interfere.

"You just accepted it like that!" Jiraiya looked at Zhang Ye in surprise. He didn't expect Zhang Ye to accept it without even thinking. "I've heard of Uchiha Kento's name. I heard he's one of the top geniuses in this year's class. Do you think you can defeat him? You just accepted it like that? I promised your parents I wouldn't let you get hurt!"

"I won't accept it, or he'll think I'm a coward!" Zhang Ye opened the letter, which only contained a date.

4 PM, Konoha Training Grounds!

The Hokage's office in Konoha.

boom!

"Old man, no matter what, I will not allow this duel to happen. Xiao Ye has absolutely no ninja talent. He will definitely die if he accepts the Uchiha duel. Just because Hei Ye once accidentally killed a genius of the Uchiha clan, do they have to exterminate him? For the sake of the village, Tsunade and I have already stopped causing them trouble. How can they be so shameless as to insist on arguing with a child!"

Jiraiya roared, his hands gripping the Hokage's desk, his long, white hair standing on end, like an enraged lion.

"Jiraiya, calm down. I know about this, but you don't need to worry. The loser might not necessarily be Xiaoye!" the Third Hokage laughed. "His bloodline limit has already awakened!"

"How is that impossible? Uchiha Kento is... Wait, old man, what did you just say?" Jiraiya asked in surprise.

"I knew you'd look like that. Xiao Ye's bloodline limit has been fully activated. You know how powerful their clan's bloodline limit is. Given time, Xiao Ye will also become a powerful figure renowned throughout the ninja world!" the Third Hokage said. Konoha has developed very strongly in the past two years, with many powerful ninjas, but no one would complain about having too many experts.

Jiraiya frowned. "But even if he has awakened his bloodline limit, how could he possibly be a match for Uchiha Taketo? No, I still disagree!"

"Don't worry, I've already sent White Fang to save Zhang Ye at the crucial moment. Besides, the Uchiha clan has been a bit arrogant lately. If Xiao Ye loses, no one will say anything, but if he defeats Uchiha Kento, it will also put an end to their anger!" A sharp glint flashed in the Third Hokage's eyes.

Jiraiya's expression shifted dramatically. After a moment's thought, he sighed and said, "Alright, I'll be there during the competition. If I see Xiaoye in trouble, I'll personally come to his rescue!"

After Jiraiya left, a dark figure appeared in the Hokage's office.

“It’s not that I look down on that kid, Sarutobi, but he’s bound to lose. Even if he possesses that bloodline limit, he won’t be a match for Uchiha Taketo. My subordinates reported recently that Uchiha Taketo has awakened his Sharingan, and with the rare double two-tomoe Sharingan at that. His future is immeasurable.” The newcomer, dressed in a black kimono, stood with his arms crossed, looking at the Third Hokage. “Should I send someone to assassinate him? That would be quite interesting!”

"Danzo, don't do anything out of line. Besides, it's not necessarily true that Zhang Ye will lose. Judging from the intelligence, his bloodline limit awakening has been going on for quite some time!"

"Let's make a bet. If I lose, I'll do whatever you say unconditionally. If you lose something, how about it?" Danzo said with a smile.

"No problem, you'll definitely be the loser!"

"Hahaha!"

Chapter Fifteen: The Flame Taste Was Alright, Just a Little Weak (Please Add to Your Favorites!)

At 3:50, the Konoha training ground was already filled with students from the Ninja Academy, all of whom were spectators of the upcoming match.

"Hey, why do you think Jianren would duel with that good-for-nothing?"
