Hearing the system's explanation, Uchiha Ryosuke finally understood.
The system not only helped him set up training regimens, it could even cultivate automatically.
That was just too convenient.
After all, to become a powerful shinobi, both talent and effort were indispensable.
Even with exceptional talent, without hard work, that talent could never be converted into true strength.
In the original story, Naruto and Might Guy weren't the kind of rational, textbook geniuses.
One could make Rasengan with ease, shaping chakra spheres as if it were nothing. The other could endure brutal training far beyond ordinary limits.
That, too, was talent.
Just not the conventional kind.
Now, however, this system let him bypass all of that—it would help him train directly. Just the thought made his heart race.
He opened his personal system panel.
Host: Uchiha Ryosuke
Strength: 30 – Training at Turtle Speed
Speed: 30 – Training at Turtle Speed
Spirit Power: 40 – Training at Turtle Speed
Constitution: 20 – Training at Turtle Speed
Chakra: 0.5 Kakashi – Training at Turtle Speed
Sharingan: One Tomoe – Training at Turtle Speed
Clone, Substitution, Transformation Jutsu: Training at Turtle Speed
Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu: Training at Turtle Speed
Evaluation: Standard Chūnin level
His joy instantly plummeted.
Every line read Turtle Speed training.
As the name implied, the cultivation rate was excruciatingly slow.
Maybe this body's talent was absolute trash. Not a single stat was anything close to "rocket speed."
At this rate, after fifty or sixty years of training, of course there would be progress.
But he didn't have that kind of time.
With Turtle Speed, even after three years, whether he could reach Jōnin level was anyone's guess.
Looking at the plain stats on his panel, he let out a heavy sigh.
Strength, speed—both painfully average.
His spirit power was the only thing above par. Probably thanks to his Uchiha bloodline.
But… what did this "0.5 Kakashi" even mean?
He asked the system mentally:
"System, what does 0.5 Kakashi mean?"
"In the original story, Hatake Kakashi is used as a measurement unit for clarity. One Kakashi equals his chakra level," the system replied.
Ryosuke immediately understood.
In the story, Kakashi's transplanted Sharingan couldn't be deactivated, so it constantly consumed chakra. Compared to a normal Jōnin, his chakra reserves were much smaller.
He could only use a handful of jutsu before running dry.
But in truth, Kakashi's chakra wasn't that low—just drained continuously by the Sharingan.
So Ryosuke pressed further:
"One Kakashi—does that mean the weakened Kakashi's chakra level, or his normal reserves?"
The system clearly grasped his meaning.
"Weakened."
Ryosuke nearly fell over.
As an Uchiha, how could he be this weak? Sure, he wasn't a Senju, but he shouldn't be this pathetic.
And he only had Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu. No genjutsu, nothing else.
With that kind of strength, forget saving the clan on the Night of the Massacre—
Surviving outside Konoha would be difficult enough.
Even ordinary civilians weren't truly safe in this world.
The lands beyond were filled with wandering samurai and rogue shinobi.
Even with his Sharingan active, he could very well lose to them.
He couldn't help but ask the system again:
"How do I increase training speed?"
"That requires the host to discover on his own."
On his own?
Ryosuke's head throbbed.
There wasn't even a hint.
Just as he was racking his brain for ways to grow stronger, a sweet, mechanical voice rang out once more:
"Host detected as a transmigrator. Binding Many Wives, Many Children System…"
