Chapter – 3 Mission, Reward & Punishment (Patreon)

With a surprised expression on his immature face, Tatsumi rubbed his numb legs.

At the moment he condensed chakra at his feet, an unprecedented and uncontrollable burst of force appeared in his feet that caught him off-guard, resulting in the current situation.

“The surge of speed and power is so much stronger than I had expected.” Muttered Tatsumi in wonder. He felt that the current him could easily defeat ten of himself from a while ago. Only now did Tatsumi realize how weak he is.

“I need to put more effort into my training.” He muttered as he looked at his feet, and recollected the experience of using the previous Jutsu. That Jutsu was Body Flicker Jutsu, of course, Tatsumi hasn’t mastered it yet, it’s just a basic level of understanding and application yet the result was so good, “Maybe this is because of Otou-san’s tweak in the scrolls, he might have created his own version of Body Flicker Jutsu that is different from the Body Flicker Jutsu taught in the Clan.”

More importantly, as Tatsumi was wondering about a lot of things, he suddenly noticed that the numbness in his legs seems to have disappeared and his strength has recovered.

This is the result of the increase in the level of the Physical Index. Just one level of advancement, and such a qualitative leap? This is simply amazing!

As all the pain disappeared, Tatsumi slowly got up, dusted off his clothes, and muttered, “I’ll try again!”

But this time, he didn’t dare to practice inside the house.

All the things in his house are extremely valuable and count as inheritance left by his father and mother, Tatsumi has no intention of destroying these things.

So, he turned around, walked outside his house, and came to the courtyard.

The courtyard of his house, although not very big, is not very small either. Its size is good enough for him to practice, and that’s what Tatsumi plans to do.

After stretching his body and getting the feel of the newfound strength, Tatsumi once again focused on condensing the chakra in the calves and feet. And this time, he proceeded very cautiously, so that he doesn’t lose control as the last time.

It took a second, but now Tatsumi was ready and disappeared, the speed was slow compared to the last time, and he only moved three meters away, but this three-meter distance was still much better compared to the one-meter distance he used to cover while his Physical Index was at Level 2.

Tatsumi was quite content with the small progress he made. He fully understands that currently he is adapting to this Level 3 Physical Index. As long as he continues to make such small progress, he will have a big leap in strength.

As they say, drops of water make a mighty Ocean.

With a content expression, Tatsumi continued his training. On the next try, he did better than before, and in the subsequent trial, performed better, then worse, then better, and then better again. By the time his Chakra Reserves hadn’t been exhausted he continued to train and made a lot of progress.

As he continued the training, suddenly a System prompt appeared, [Ding, Host has seriously trained for several hours, reward, 1 Point. Current Balance, 890 points.]

Hearing the system prompt, Tatsumi smiled in excitement.

“Sure enough…points are a man’s dream!”

…

After a while of training, Tatsumi decided to stop for the day and went inside his house. He has to participate in the Entrance Exam tomorrow, so naturally, he can’t continue to train all night.

To perform well, he has to be in his peak condition.

Growl!

As he entered his house and closed the door, suddenly, his stomach growled, “Haah… I am so hungry!”

Because of finally activating System, and advancing one of the attributes to Level 3, Tatsumi had completely forgotten about dinner. It’s natural for him to be hungry.

“It’s already quite late, I should probably not disturb Baa-chan, she must have slept,” Tatsumi muttered as he made his way to the kitchen.

The Baa-chan in Tatsumi’s words is the old lady who often takes care of him. Although she has always been very kind to him, Tatsumi doesn’t want to take her kindness for granted and do anything to disturb her. Therefore, he won’t be going to her home at this hour. Moreover, her house is also a few blocks away, it would take time to get there. Not something he wants to do at this hour.

Fortunately, he has a stock of Instant Cup Ramen in his house so dinner is not a problem.

“Considering how much Instant Cup Ramen I eat; it seems I will become Naruto in the future.” Muttered Tatsumi with a helpless expression.

…

While Tatsumi was slurping the noodles, suddenly System prompt echoed, [Ding, Congratulations on increasing the level of one attribute. Now you are one step closer to becoming the strongest Existence on this planet.

To motivate the host to continue to work hard, System has decided to release a Mission.

Mission: The host is required to increase the level of at least one of his attributes to Level 8 before graduating from the Ninja Academy. If the mission is completed, there will be a generous reward, and if the mission is not completed, there will be very harsh punishment.

Reward: Mystery Box

Punishment: Hosts’ physical gender will be changed into that of a female.

Good Luck, System hopes that the Host can successfully complete the mission before the time limit.]

“Son of a Bitch!” cursed Tatsumi as he spurted out all the noodles in his mouth, and exclaimed, “System, are you out of your mind god damn mind? Level 8? That is Chunin Level! Do you want me to reach Chunin Level before graduating? This is too difficult! And the punishment is too cruel, how can you even think about changing my gender!?”

It must not be forgotten that just advancing from Level 0 to Level 1 requires 100 points.

Then from Level 1 to Level 2 would require another 500 points.

After that, Level 2 to Level 3 requires 1000 points.

Level 3 to Level 4 requires 2000 points

4000 points for the next jump to Level 5.

After that, another 6000 points are required to move to Level 6.

Then another 9000 points for advancing to Level 7.

And another 12000 points to reach Level 8.

The higher a person goes, the more points it takes to advance to the next level. Reaching level 8 in any single attribute requires a whopping total of 34600 points.

Even if he takes his best attribute–Physical Index–into account, it would still require him a total of 33000 points.

If he follows normal procedure and graduates at the age of 10, he has five years in his hand. It took him the last five years to gather 2000 points, and to advance to level 8, he will have to gather 33000 points within the next five years, not something Tatsumi can manage to gather before graduating from the Academy.

Moreover, it is impossible for Tatsumi to only dedicate points to one attribute.

Although Tatsumi does believe in the words of Bruce Lee ‘I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.’ Tatsumi still doesn’t want to become someone like Might Guy.

In this day and age, being a Taijutsu specialist is not valuable enough.

So, this mission released by System is impossible to complete within the next five years, therefore, Tatsumi protested, “System, I can’t complete this mission, either change it to a simpler mission or just delete it.”

[Once released, missions can neither be changed nor deleted.]

“Damn it, you shitty System!” cursed Tatsumi. As he looked at his current Status.

For the remaining 890 Ninja Points, Tatsumi intends to keep them for emergencies. There is a possibility that he might need to use these points in the future.

With such a thought in his mind, Tatsumi drifted to sleep.

In his dream, he saw that a mysterious person has defeated the five Kage, Obito, Madara, and Kaguya, then when that person turned around, and her appearance became clear, it turned that it was a woman, upon closer look at her face, Tatsumi realized that it’s him who has become a woman!

Seeing his gigantic rack and the absence of his manhood, Tatsumi screamed in panic.
