Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

The next moment, a fist slammed into his head.

"Why did you hit me, Kirito? If you don't want to go, then don't go. You're such a coward..."

Nawaki, who had been innocently hit, was immediately angry and said something, but when he saw Kirito's extremely serious expression and cold eyes, he stopped mid-sentence.

This was the first time he had ever seen Kirito with such a terrifying expression.

"Rope Tree, do you know who you are?"

Kirito said seriously.

"Of course I know. I am the grandson of the First Hokage, so I absolutely cannot tarnish my grandfather's reputation."

When asked about this, Rope Tree's expression turned serious, and he spoke loudly.

"It seems you understand your place very well. But have you considered the consequences if you were to graduate and go to war now?"

Kirito asked again.

Nawaki was only 6 years old, and all he could think about was becoming Hokage as soon as possible. He would never have thought about such a question.

He racked his brains, but couldn't figure out what the consequences of graduating early would be.

"It seems you really are an idiot. Well then, let me tell you, you will serve as a role model. To boost morale, the Hokage and the others will definitely publicize your early graduation and your willingness to go to the battlefield. At that time, you will become a hero of Konoha."

Kirito saw that Nawaki couldn't figure it out, so he gave him some pointers.

When Rope Tree heard that he would become a hero of the village, his eyes lit up.

He dreamed of becoming a hero in the village.

But Kirito's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him, leaving him feeling cold all over.

"However, you will definitely die, because in order to severely damage our morale, the enemy will do everything they can to kill you, the grandson of the First Hokage. They will send Jonin, or even many Jonin, to assassinate you. Think about it carefully, with your current strength, do you have any chance of escaping from the hands of Jonin?"

Chapter 23: The Fate of the Rope Tree

"Kirito, you're scaring me, aren't you? You're deliberately trying to persuade me not to graduate early, aren't you? How could that be? Even if I graduate now, I'll only be a genin. There aren't many jonin in each village, so why would the enemy send a large number of jonin to kill me?"

Nawaki felt uneasy after Kirito's words and forced a smile.

Nawaki knew his own strength. Becoming a genin and graduating from the ninja academy would be no problem at all. Perhaps with his massive chakra reserves, shadow clone technique, and the water and earth ninjutsu he had mastered, he could even face off against a chunin.

However, if facing a Jonin, there is absolutely no chance of victory.

His aunt, Momoka, is a Jonin, and one of the best among them. His grandmother is a Kage-level ninja. Therefore, he is very clear about the strength of Jonin. With his current strength, if he does not use the Shadow Clone Technique in time, he will be instantly killed.

Therefore, if things are really as Kirito said, then choosing to graduate early and go to the battlefield now would definitely mean certain death.

He didn't want to die; he didn't want to die at all before becoming Hokage.

Moreover, if he were to die, Grandma Mito, my sister, and everyone in the clan would surely be heartbroken.

"Scare you? Humph, I'll show you something good and you'll see if I'm scaring you or not."

Kirito gave a cold laugh.

After saying that, he took out a summoning card from his body and then used a simple and easy-to-learn space-time ninjutsu.

Spiritual Spell - Release Technique.

A spatial distortion occurred at the center of the summoning card, and a thick manual suddenly appeared in Kirito's hand.

Kirito quickly flipped to a page in the manual and showed it to Nawaki.

Rope Tree leaned closer to take a look, and his little face immediately turned pale.

On one side of the book were a lifelike portrait of him, with his name written above it, and on the other side were some brief information about him and the reward amount.

There is no doubt that the handbook contains a bounty on him.

He never expected that he, being so young and having not offended anyone, would be put on a wanted list, and with such a high reward.

"The bounty is 50 million yen, which is higher than most Class A wanted criminals. So, do you think I'm scaring you? With so much bounty, it's enough to attract the attention of countless hyena-like bounty hunters and Jonin from various villages."

You are a direct relative of the First and Second Hokage, and you have inherited the power of both the First Hokage and Mito-sensei. Nawaki, don't underestimate your own value. If I kill you, the bloodline of the First Hokage will only be left with Tsunade.

Lady Tsunade is a woman, and there are some things that are ultimately inconvenient for her to do herself.

Kirito looked at Nawaki's frightened expression and said quietly.

"Gurgle~"

Rope Tree couldn't help but swallow hard.

Although he still couldn't quite understand why someone had put such a large bounty on his head, he finally realized one thing: Kirito was right. If he graduated early and went to the battlefield now, he would definitely die.

If it weren't for the protection of the village, his clansmen, and his grandmother, he might have been killed by those who had their bounties on him long ago.

For the first time, Rope Tree felt the malice from the world, and he was filled with immense fear.

"click~"

A hand was placed on his shoulder, which immediately calmed him down and his fear quickly subsided.

"Nawaki, while we can still enjoy the village's protection and grow in peace, we must strive to improve our strength. If you want to protect the people of the village, protect yourself, and become Hokage alive, then stop talking about stupid things like graduating early. We are the new sprouts of Konoha. The most important thing now is to grow up, not to go to the battlefield to die unprepared. Only when we grow up can we protect the new sprouts of Konoha."

Kirito spoke earnestly to Nawaki.

Six-year-old Nawaki couldn't fully understand Kirito's words, but he understood the meaning of striving to become stronger, protecting the village, and then living to become Hokage.

So he made up his mind that he would wait until he had the strength of a Jonin before going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

As Nawaki secretly made up his mind, Kirito showed a hint of surprise on his face, because he received the cheat notification again after several months.

You have successfully changed the fate of the rope tree and gained 1 enhancement point.

what's the situation?

When did he change the fate of Rope Tree?

Rope Tree hasn't even graduated yet!

But it smells really good.

"Go back and think about it carefully. I have something to do later, so I'll be going now."

Seeing that Nawaki was silent with his head down, Kirito decided to make an excuse to say goodbye to Nawaki and quickly returned to his house in the orphanage, silently bringing up his attribute panel.

Kirito's attribute panel is as follows:

忍1、体0、幻0、贤4、力3、速3、精2、印2

(Ninjutsu: mastery and proficiency in ninjutsu; Taijutsu: mastery and proficiency in taijutsu; Genjutsu: mastery and proficiency in genjutsu; Wisdom: breadth of knowledge and intelligence; Strength: muscle strength throughout the body, such as wrist and leg strength; Speed: agility of movement and reaction; Chakra: amount of chakra; Hand seals: mastery and proficiency in hand seals.)

Physique: Immortal Transformation

Chakra Affinity: Lightning, Yin, Yang

查克拉性质：风0、火0、水0、土0、雷1、阴0、阳0

Ninjutsu: Substitution Jutsu 1, Transformation Jutsu 1, Clone Jutsu 1, Lightning Release: Lightning Ball 1

Sealing Technique: One-Element Lamp Array 3

Summoning Techniques: Inhalation Technique 1, Emission Technique 1

Enhancement Points: 1

"It wasn't a hallucination after all. Which one should we add?"

Kirito thought excitedly when he saw that there really were new enhancement points.

Two months have passed since the start of the Ninja Academy. Although his strength has been steadily improving, his progress is far less than that of Chizuru and Nawaki.

Especially Nawaki, ever since he taught Nawaki to use shadow clones to speed up his training, Nawaki has made great progress, which has made him feel a little pressure.

The Strength and Speed ​​attributes haven't changed for a while, but the Wisdom attribute has unknowingly increased to 4 due to the accumulation of a lot of knowledge.

However, Kirito knew that this was because his strength and speed had not yet reached the required level. Through cultivating natural energy and practicing physical skills, he could feel his speed and strength slowly increasing every day.

The reason why progress wasn't as rapid as it was at the beginning is twofold: firstly, the difference between 3 and 4 is much greater than that between 2 and 3; secondly, physical development has reached a certain critical point, making it very difficult to continue making rapid progress.

Ultimately, he's still just a 6-year-old kid, his body is still developing, and there's a limit to how hard he can train, unless he has alien blood or decides to stop being human.

Kirito had already noticed this, so he wasn't in a hurry.

As expected, once his body fully develops, his strength and speed attributes will naturally improve, eventually leading to a powerful breakthrough.

The Elite 2 attribute was a real headache for him. Compared to the average Genin, he had a lot of chakra, but compared to Chizuru and Nawaki, the gap was huge.

Especially for Rope Tree's Chatonla, the gap was so large that he felt somewhat helpless.

The Sage Body formed by the fusion of the Senju and Uzumaki clans is just that abnormal.

Kirito could only drool with envy.

Every time he fought against Nawaki, he had to carefully calculate the use of chakra and rack his brains to use tactics to deal with Nawaki. Nawaki, on the other hand, did not have to worry about these things at all. He could easily create a dozen or so shadow clones to fight him. Even if he went all out, he could fight Nawaki to a standstill.

This made Kirito gradually understand Kakashi's suffering.

When a ninja has a certain amount of mana, they can really do whatever they want.

That's why he wanted to learn from Orochi Kabuto, but unfortunately his bloodline fusion experiment was not ideal and there was not much progress.

This path is not feasible for now; he needs to learn more medical knowledge and accumulate more experimental experience.

"Do we need to use the spirit attribute?"

Kirito repeatedly asked himself this question.

Finally, his gaze fell upon lightning and sealing techniques.

He figured it out.

Those who achieve great things do not need to contend with momentary strength.

Even if he uses his enhancement points on the spirit attribute now, it will only be an increase from 2 to 3, and his chakra amount still cannot exceed that of Chizuru and Nawaki.

Good steel is used on the blade.

He needs to maximize the benefits of his valuable enhancement points.

Therefore, the choice is self-evident.

It still has the attribute of wisdom.
