"System, I choose…"
"[Five Attribute Chakra and Nature Transformation], [Kage-Level Chakra Control], [Kage-Level Hand Seal Speed], [Ten Random Ninjutsu], [One Composite Ninjutsu of Your Choice]"
"Claim Now!"
The instant Li Huo finished communicating with the system, a sharp headache swept over him.
The pain was just right, causing a daze but not brain damage.
Accompanying the pain was countless hours of hand seal practice and incredibly precise chakra control.
Li Huo felt his hands become incredibly nimble, mastering the twelve hand seals with effortless ease.
Not only that, Li Huo could even clearly sense the faint chakra within his body.
He could subtly attach chakra to the soles of his feet, achieving a lift without damaging the ground.
Climbing trees and walking on water were now a breeze.
Furthermore, Li Huo could clearly sense something new within his body—chakra meridians he had never experienced before.
Although he didn't know his chakra nature before, he was certain that future tests would show all five chakra natures present.
Before Li Huo could test it again, a cold system voice echoed in his mind once more.
"Now drawing ten random ninjutsu for the host."
Li Huo's heart instantly raced with excitement.
"Let's see how many gold coins Old Deng can give me!"
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained:"
"Ninja Art: Three Body Technique" (Clone, Substitution, Transformation)
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique"
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique"
"Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall"
"Shadow Clone Technique"
"Telescope Technique"
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique"
"Water Release: Water Wall"
"System complete, retrieving rewards"
Li Huo was shocked by the scene before him.
"I swear, from this moment on I will never slander Hiruzen Sarutobi—the Third Hokage. He is the most perfect old man in my heart... ah, no, ninja."
"Mainly because the gold coins he dropped were just too tempting. Apart from some basic ninjutsu, all the others were genuinely powerful ninjutsu."
"Oh right, there's also the extremely gentlemanly 'Telescope Technique'."
Before Li Huo could react, the pain surged like a tidal wave again.
After a headache subsided, Li Huo instantly mastered ten ninjutsu.
It's important to understand that even an ordinary Chunin could never perfectly master all ten ninjutsu simultaneously.
Thanks to his powerful cheat ability, Li Huo successfully fused these ten ninjutsu together.
"Right now, what I lack most is chakra reserves and combat awareness."
"Of course, there's also the Sharingan, the greatest asset of the Uchiha clan."
"With the Sharingan, I can become a ninjutsu expert myself."
Li Huo thought to himself.
"Receive the composite ninjutsu!"
The cold system voice appeared at the opportune moment.
"Please select your composite ninjutsu."
"Composite Ninjutsu: Earth Dragon Flame Stream": Combines Earth Release and Fire Release ninjutsu, using the Fire Dragon Bullet to unleash a powerful fireball from the mouth, attacking in conjunction with Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet. Creates a fire-breathing earth dragon.
"Composite Ninjutsu: Lightning Water Dragon Bullet": Combines Water Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu to create an electrified water dragon bullet to attack the enemy. It is more powerful than a regular water dragon bullet and can paralyze the enemy.
Li Huo gazed at these two powerful ninjutsu, lost in thought.
Of the ten ninjutsu drawn by the system, Fire Release and Earth Release were the most numerous, while Water Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu were fewer and more defensive.
Therefore, "Composite Ninjutsu: Lightning-Water Dragon Bullet" was definitely the best choice.
After all, in the early stages, the balance between chakra attributes is extremely important.
If you encounter a Lightning Release or Water Release chakra-specific attack, "Lightning-Water Dragon Bullet" will be exceptionally effective!
A moment later, Li Huo had mastered both the casting method and related usage experience.
Of course, this included the familiar headache.
"I said I'd give you a reward, so why do I always have to have a headache?"
"Headache is a necessary condition for the system to transmit knowledge and modify the body. Please bear with it, host."
"I have to say, you...you really are a great system."
"Congratulations, host, on successfully claiming all rewards."
"Datafiing all your abilities"
"Host" Uchiha Rikka
"Ninjutsu" Three Body Technique, Great Fireball Technique, Phoenix Flower Technique, Great Waterfall Technique, Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique, Earth Flow Wall, Shadow Clone Technique, Telescope Technique, Shuriken Shadow Clone, Water Formation Wall, Lightning Water Dragon Bullet
"Taijutsu" None
"Genjutsu" None
"Chakra" Micro-card (One-third of Kakashi's, capable of releasing only one ninjutsu even at full power)
"My god, although I only got so many rewards thanks to luck...and my own courage."
"But these rewards are too generous. If I pat a few more people's heads, I'll be completely overwhelmed."
"Right! I can pat the same person's head repeatedly to get more rewards."
"I'm such a head-patting genius..."
"System notification: Unless the same ninja's abilities and talents change at different times, repeatedly touching their head will not grant a reward."
"Tch, no more loopholes."
After Li Huo received his reward, Hiruzen Sarutobi's lengthy speech finally came to an end.
"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never cease. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout."
"Now I declare the entrance ceremony officially over, and the entrance exams begin."
Li Huo was stunned. Entrance exams?
What's the point of exams for little kids like us?
Obito, who was utterly exhausted by the Third Hokage's hours-long speech, noticed his best friend's confusion.
"Idiot Li Huo, you don't even know this? Let me teach you!"
"This is testing whether a loser like you has the aptitude to become a ninja."
"And for a genius ninja like me, this is the perfect stage, hahaha!"
Li Huo was speechless. The Obito before him wasn't the traitorous bastard he once was, but a hot-blooded idiot wearing goggles.
His words, however, were merciless.
"Idiot Obito, the guy who's late for school registration, a complete loser! Let's see who's better on the training field!"
At this moment, an arrogant voice abruptly interrupted.
"Uchiha Li Huo, Uchiha Obito, two ill-mannered brats, only know how to disgrace the Uchiha clan!"
The voice belonged to an Uchiha boy who looked down on everyone.
"Lost your parents on the battlefield, nobody to raise you, no wonder you're so ill-mannered, and you even say you want to be Hokage in public, how laughable!"
Hearing this, Obito's anger exploded instantly.
"Say that again if you dare!"
Obito roared angrily, immediately charging forward to fight his opponent to the death.
Suddenly, a small, childlike hand pressed down on Obito's head—it was Li Huo!
Li Huo's eyes were surprisingly calm, his voice unreadable, yet chilling and impossible to ignore.
"Hey, Nose-nosed Man, our parents sacrificed themselves on the battlefield. They are the pride of the Uchiha clan, the pride of the village!"
"As for whether we have real skills, let's settle it in the training ground."
Feeling his authority challenged for the first time, the Nose-nosed Man instantly flew into a rage.
"Kid! Do you know who I am? I am..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Huo suddenly burst forth with incredible speed, stopping right in front of the Nose-nosed Man.
"Shh, extras don't need names."
The entrance exam officially began...
