Leaf Year 54. The Academy opens its doors—and Izayoi, an orphan with a private interface only he can see, steps into the canon timeline. His Talent Entry System doesn’t hand him skills; it labels the world. Color-coded Entry Orbs float above every shinobi, exposing bloodlines and aptitudes like quiet dossiers. To copy an entry, he must win—preferably as the underdog. To upgrade, he burns points he can’t afford to waste.

Izayoi intends to climb without showing his ladder. That means clean control, no hand seals, and a poker face in front of Iruka, Naruto, and Hinata Hyuga, whose Byakugan glows a dangerous purple. From classroom drills to missions at the village’s edge, he threads canon events with surgical precision, hungry for high-tier traits while dodging eyes that would dissect him if they knew.

This is a strategic, character-driven Naruto fanfic: slow-burn bonds, ruthless growth, and a Rainbow tier nobody in Konoha even believes exists—yet.
