In class.
Naruto sat in his usual seat by the window in the back row.
On the surface, Naruto was watching the unfamiliar Instructor on the stage explaining ninja knowledge.
But in reality, Naruto wasn't listening at all.
Without hesitation, he decided to begin his plan.
First, find a way to raise his combat power to 200,000, and then see if the system would give him any missions related to the Ninja Academy.
If it did, Naruto could stay here and have some fun.
If his guess was wrong, he would simply leave.
As a new student with a cute and handsome appearance, Naruto attracted quite a lot of attention.
Of course, it was mainly the female students paying attention to him.
Fortunately, Naruto was used to it and didn't take them seriously.
Soon, school was over.
Naruto left the Ninja Academy alone.
He noticed Anbu secretly watching him but didn't pay it any mind.
Obito walked out of school together with Kakashi and Rin.
Seeing Naruto's back, Obito said to Kakashi, "That guy is really aloof. He's pretending to be even cooler than you, Kakashi."
Kakashi glanced at Obito and ignored him.
Seeing Kakashi ignore him, Obito grumbled unhappily, "Oh… two smelly guys."
"Isn't that right, Rin~?"
Rin laughed awkwardly, then looked at Naruto, her brows slightly furrowing.
Obito sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Rin, what's wrong?"
Rin said seriously, "The outside world isn't as peaceful as the village. He suddenly came to Konoha alone… something must have happened."
"Uh…" Obito suddenly thought of something unpleasant and scratched his head. "It doesn't have to be a tragedy~ How could it be such a coincidence?"
Kakashi said in a deep voice, "Rin is right. If someone could live peacefully at home, who would choose to leave their hometown?"
Obito's expression tightened. "Then… let's not say bad things about him anymore."
Kakashi replied, "You were the one saying all that to begin with."
Obito: "…"
…
Naruto had two ways to increase his combat power to two hundred thousand.
First: train properly.
Naruto already had all the conditions to break through in combat power.
It was just that his body needed time to catch up.
But that would take too long, so Naruto wouldn't depend on it for now—though he would continue doing it every day.
The second method:
Obtain another super-powerful kekkei genkai through the system simulation.
Currently, Naruto had Senju and Uzumaki bloodlines, plus the reincarnation of Asura, but he still lacked the Uchiha bloodline—important for the Ōtsutsuki connections.
So his goal was decided.
Obtain the Uchiha bloodline through simulation, and then test whether it would quickly improve his combat strength.
After making up his mind, Naruto didn't return home immediately.
Because before simulating, he needed to do something important.
Naruto went to a store and bought daily necessities and incense.
Yes, incense was the most important item.
Afterward, Naruto went to eat.
He had to admit—Konoha Village, where no one knew him, was really nice.
No strange people came to bother him.
It was also prosperous, with plenty of shops close together.
If possible, Naruto really wanted to stay here forever.
But Naruto remembered his purpose and didn't linger for long.
When he returned to the room the village had arranged for him, he bathed, changed clothes, and lit incense.
After finishing everything, Naruto opened the system panel.

"Ah?"
Naruto froze, looking at the number so close to two hundred thousand, and recalled something.
Oh…
He had learned Sage Mode earlier but didn't pay attention to the combat power increase.
That's why he was seeing this surprise now.
So… does he still need to simulate?
Naruto thought for a bit and decided to keep the simulation chances.
Simulation chances could only be earned by completing missions.
He was already past the beginner stage and becoming more familiar with the system.
He wanted to save the simulation chances for when he needed them more.
With such a small gap left, Naruto estimated that if he did a few thousand push-ups tonight, he could finish the mission by tomorrow.
So Naruto closed the system panel and formed a hand seal. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Bang! Bang!
Six Narutos appeared in the room.
Naruto said to the clones, "Two of you do push-ups, two do squats, and two do sit-ups. Any problems?"
One of the clones complained, "Yes. A big problem."
"Oh? What problem?" Naruto asked curiously.
The clone snorted. "Why are you just resting while we have to work out like crazy?"
Naruto replied helplessly, "I'm helping you guys too, you know?"
The clone raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "Really?"
Naruto answered confidently, "Of course. Don't forget Anbu is outside. I have to stay alert."
The clone was immediately moved. "That's true… The original body is amazing."
Naruto nodded. "Alright, let's train hard."
Shadow Clones: "Okay!" ×6
…
In the middle of the night, the six Shadow Clones disappeared one after another.
Naruto frowned slightly in his sleep, feeling uncomfortable for a moment, but didn't wake up.
The next day.
Naruto opened his eyes and heard the system notification.
[Ding~ Mission completed. Reward: Simulation chance +3]
Naruto immediately woke up and looked at the system, waiting for the next mission.
But…
After he completed the mission, the system no longer responded.
Fortunately, no new mission to increase combat power to 250,000 appeared.
"Good…"
Naruto let out a breath of relief and planned to hang around the Ninja Academy a few more days to see if he could get more missions.
So Naruto arrived at the academy after getting ready.
The students didn't say anything when they saw him. They simply sat and began talking among themselves.
"Even though he's handsome, he's kind of aloof."
"Yeah, but something must have happened, right?"
"Mmm… Sounds like the outside of the village is dangerous. Someone might have hurt a cute kid like him."
Naruto didn't care.
Their opinions didn't affect his goals.
Soon, the Instructor arrived.
He stood in front of the class and announced, "Students, there will be a written test soon. Everyone, do your best~"
As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Naruto's mind.
[Ding~ Mission released: Get first place in the written test.
Reward: Simulation chance +1]
Naruto's eyes lit up.
It came!
His thoughts were correct!
