Even so, Haruto didn't immediately merge with the Chakra of Asura.
After a few deep breaths, Haruto closed the virtual panel and his gaze returned to the training ground.
After one round of taijutsu sparring after another, the first-year entrance mini-exam finally came to an end.
Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic male and female classmates with a smile, Haruto returned home and only then took off his mask-like smile.
While changing his shoes at the entrance, Haruto summoned the virtual panel and tapped the golden light cluster with his finger.
Just like in a game, a 'Yes/No' selection box immediately appeared before Haruto.
Another deep breath, Haruto clicked the [Yes] option.
Swish—
In an instant, the golden light cluster in the spatial backpack, like a meteor, transformed into a golden beam of light and flew out, seeping into Haruto's body.
Immediately, Haruto's body flashed with golden light, like an upgrade effect in a game.
Then... then nothing happened.
"This special effect, I'd give it at most three cents."
Haruto murmured, then felt his body up and down, seemingly sensing if there were any changes.
The result, naturally, was no changes at all.
Haruto also knew that even if there were changes, they wouldn't be external, but internal.
So, Haruto came to the living room, sat cross-legged on the tatami, and began to close his eyes to extract Chakra.
Although he was just a commoner without a Bloodline Limit, Haruto was now a genius.
At least until graduation, he would be a very dazzling commoner genius.
His soul was that of an adult from another world, allowing him to possess advanced thinking, just like those early-maturing geniuses.
Also due to his soul, Haruto's spiritual energy was extraordinary.
And Chakra is the product formed by the fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy.
Originally, Haruto's spiritual energy was 'over-standard' for his age, but because his physical energy was very ordinary, his Chakra reserves were not extraordinary.
When the two were mixed, the amount of Chakra produced was also very ordinary.
But now, as Haruto extracted Chakra as usual, the physical energy and spiritual energy bursting forth from his 130 trillion cells were like a child's sudden change from urinating to turning on a faucet.
After mixing the two, the Chakra vortex within Haruto's body instantly grew larger at a visible speed.
If someone were to use Byakugan or Sharingan to see through Haruto, they would find that the blue vortex in his body was slowly expanding, and its color was becoming richer.
After an unknown amount of time, Haruto finally stopped extracting Chakra, slowly opened his red eyes, which were filled with astonishment, and murmured, "Is this what it feels like to be a cheater? How can you possibly win against this?!"
Commoner players and whales are two different experiences, and whales and cheaters are also two different experiences.
Commoner players only have to grind, whales only have fun, and cheaters have even more fun.
Just by extracting Chakra for a while, the amount skyrocketed to several times what it was before, and Haruto finally understood how cruel the phrase 'bloodline supremacy' truly was.
Only by cheating can one rise against the odds!
After the shock, Haruto suddenly laughed, "Hehe... I suddenly feel that life has become full of meaning, and the world has become exciting."
Like the break of dawn, the difficult path suddenly became incredibly smooth.
After coming back to his senses, Haruto's mood became tense again.
The biggest test was yet to come, and it was also the moment to prove the level of his golden finger.
In the following days, Haruto lived as usual, playing the role of a six-year-old child, enduring the discomfort to play with the other children, and integrating into a small group like in those Japanese anime.
During this time, Haruto's consciousness did not enter a certain space while he slept, nor did he see the floating white-haired old man.
Haruto didn't know if the Six Paths Sage was observing him from the shadows.
But in these past few years, he had to act like a child and couldn't talk to himself anymore.
If he was fine these days because the level of his golden finger was above everything else, then that would naturally be even better.
However, Haruto dared not gamble on these things.
Only by staying vigilant could he safely survive until he reached the absolute peak.

Time came to the second half of Konoha Year 54.
In winter, heavy snow fell.
Unbeknownst to him, five months had passed since Haruto merged with the Chakra of Asura.
During this period, Haruto's improvement was very significant.
In terms of Chakra reserves, besides Naruto, no one, let alone first-graders, even sixth-graders, had more than him.
Such astonishing changes occurred in less than half a year.
Haruto couldn't imagine what level his Chakra reserves would skyrocket to after graduation.
It was certain that by then, it would be measured in 'cards'.
Although Chakra reserves cannot represent strength, a vast amount of Chakra allows one to have the capital to be reckless.
Those with small Chakra reserves need to be very careful in battles.
In contrast, Naruto not only uses the forbidden Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu as a regular Ninjutsu, but these Shadow Clones can also each wield an A-rank Rasengan.
These human-wave tactics can completely compensate for deficiencies in combat experience.
If such a 'physical monster' is also very diligent, then Kisame Hoshigaki is the best example.
Haruto would not squander his talent like Naruto.
Even before entering the Ninja Academy, when he successfully extracted Chakra, Haruto, as a transmigrator, had already practiced climbing walls with his feet at home, laying a good foundation for Chakra Control.
Now that his Chakra reserves had increased, Haruto immediately began to learn the cheating divine technique, which was... the Shadow Clone Technique.
Although Haruto was now an orphan, he came from a Ninja family.
His home was an independent two-story house, one of the legacies left to him by his parents in this life, fortunately not destroyed by the Nine-Tailed back then.
When he grew up to three years old in the orphanage, Haruto was sent back to his own home and began to learn to live independently.
During this time, the Village did not confiscate Haruto's home.
While cleaning his home, Haruto found several scrolls.
These scrolls were all part of the legacy left to him by his parents in this life, including Chakra extraction methods, basic Three Body Transformation Technique, Konoha Body Flicker Technique, several low-level elemental Ninjutsu scrolls, and the Shadow Clone Technique.
In Haruto's eyes, among these scrolls, the most precious was naturally the Shadow Clone Technique.
To others, the Shadow Clone is not a cheating divine technique at all, as fatigue is also fed back to the main body after the Shadow Clone is dispelled.
If the fatigue exceeds the limit, a person can be literally exhausted to death.
Ordinary Ninja can at most use one or two Shadow Clones to assist in training.
Haruto and Naruto, who possess the Sage Body, are exceptions, as they can withstand massive levels of fatigue.
Naruto is an exception among exceptions, after all, besides the Sage Body, he is also the Jinchuriki of half of the strongest Tailed Beast.
If he wanted to die, the Nine-Tailed wouldn't let him.
