Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 2 The Genius Project!

"The future is not static; does the present determine the future?"

Genichi Shushita fell into deep thought: "So, what I'm overdrawing is the future anchored to the present, or even my future before I awaken my innate wisdom?"

"Or rather, although I have now awakened my inner wisdom and have a lot more information about the Naruto world, my thinking is also different from before I awakened my inner wisdom."

"But I haven't taken any concrete action. Even if I have a lot of ideas, without putting them into practice, they won't have any impact on the future."

"Having ideas but not putting them into practice is of no use in the present, let alone changing the future."

Genichi under the tree gradually grasped something.

Whether it will turn out as I expect remains to be seen; I'll have to try it out.

but……

Genichi Shushita frowned: "It seems that the aptitude of this body of mine is very poor. I'm destined to be a Chunin at best for my entire life."

"This is troublesome..."

Genichi Kishita considered himself a smart person, but physical aptitude was too important in the Naruto world.

After all, it's the legend of the eyes, the Otsutsuki Chronicles.

Having a good family background is more important than anything else.

Even Orochimaru's brilliant mind can't compare to Naruto and Sasuke's overpowered abilities.

Thinking about it, Genichi couldn't help but sigh: "I thought I could just relax and do nothing, but I didn't expect I would have to work hard. Isn't this a waste of time that I transmigrated?"

"This cheat code isn't all that great!"

He looked at the overdraft panel, where the option to "Overdraft the next ten years" had turned gray.

You can only overdraft again after one year.

"In other words, I have a year to put it into practice and use it as a basis to change the future."

"It seems I need to make a plan."

"Yes, let's call it a one-year plan."

Turning his gaze away, Xuan Yi got out of bed and focused his attention back on himself.

His primary focus was previously on ninjutsu.

This time, by overdrawing on the future, in addition to gaining the ninjutsu that the future possesses, he also gained shuriken throwing, basic taijutsu, even strength, as well as chakra that surprised Genichi Kinoshita.

No, it shouldn't be defined by chakra, but by physical strength.

In short, Genichi Kinoshita now has data loaded with his strongest state from ten years in the future.

Whether it's physical strength, ninjutsu, taijutsu, combat experience, and so on.

Aside from the memories, it's almost like merging with your future self.

After carefully observing the situation, Genichi Shushita couldn't help but beam with joy.

Although he is still a genin, is the body the same at five years old and fifteen years old?

Although his body didn't look any different and Genji hadn't grown up, his strength was completely different.

"very good!"

"From this moment on, I will strive for my future!"

With a cracking sound, Xuan Yi under the tree pulled out his piggy bank and smashed it. He counted the money inside; it totaled a little over a hundred taels, which was quite a lot.

"I wonder if I can buy a short sword... It doesn't need to be anything fancy for now, just for cultivation, I could even consider a wooden sword."

After putting the money into his wallet, Genichi Shushita went downstairs.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going out to cultivate!"

Xuan Yi waved to his parents from under the tree.

Xuan Yi's mother looked up and reminded him, "Remember to come back for lunch, and be careful not to get hurt!"

"understood!"

As he spoke, Xuan Yi under the tree had already gone out.

Inside the shop, Xuan Yi's father smiled at his wife and said, "Xuan Yi is cultivating so diligently, we must also work hard!"

Xuan Yi's mother nodded, and her movements became even more swift and efficient.

……

Genichi Shushita visited several ninja tool shops before finally choosing a short sword, priced at 50 ryo, which was much cheaper than he had expected.

Of course, the quality is just so-so.

Genichi Shushita wasn't entirely satisfied either, because it was a bit too light for him.

But there are no better options left, unless it's custom-made.

"I'll just have to make do with this." After paying the bill, Genichi Kinoshita went to buy a knife pouch and a sword belt.

The former is used to carry swords and knives, and can also be called a sword pouch.

The latter, however, wore swords and knives at their waists.

In the ninja world, swords and blades are inseparable, or rather, swords include blades.

Knife skills and sword skills can be understood as the same thing.

After buying the knife, Genichi went to buy balloons.

After everything was prepared, I went to a small river and found a big tree to use as my temporary place of practice.

Place the balloon under the tree, and Xuan Yi takes the short sword he was carrying on his back and hangs it on his waist.

Swordsmanship and the Rasengan are the two training directions that Genichi Kinoshita has temporarily set for himself.

He still remembered how to train for the Rasengan, so he could train it without having to master it within a year.

If it doesn't work in one year, surely it won't work in ten?
As for swordsmanship, there was no swordsmanship during the previous ten years of overspending.

Without a teacher or corresponding sword techniques, and with no method of cultivation, Shuxia Xuanyi knew it would be difficult to achieve anything significant.

It's alright, though. I don't have high expectations for Genichi under the sword technique tree for the time being.

Right now, I'm only practicing a few basic slashing movements, and... a draw slash!
The most important thing is the draw attack!
Training speed, strength, and reaction time... if you don't succeed in a year, what about ten years?
It may not work out, but it's worth a try to see where your potential or talent lies.

“I’m only five years old now, and I still have a lot of opportunities to try and fail… Overdraft panel may not make me reach the top in one step, but it will give me a lot of choices.”

Genichi Shushita gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand, lowered his body, and concentrated intently.

Zheng!
Under the tree, Genichi swiftly and powerfully drew his short sword.

"Your movements are off, not steady enough... Keep going!"

Xuan Yi sheathed his sword and continued under the tree.

If he hadn't overdrawn his future ten years, he might have just been groping around and practicing blindly based on his limited perspective from his previous life.

But having overdrawn the next ten years, he is still a genin with considerable experience. His mastery of power and his techniques for generating force are definitely not something a novice can compare to.

However, the sword-drawing slash is actually very, very simple in terms of its technique.

Repeat, repeat, and repeat again!
Genichi under the tree kept drawing and sheathing his sword, constantly correcting his movements, trying to make the sword draw faster and more powerful.

When your arms are sore and you've exhausted a lot of energy, stop and rest, and take the balloons to the river to fill them with water.

"According to the timeline, Minato Namikaze died in Konoha Year 50. He was 24 years old at that time, so he would be 15 years old now."

According to Jiraiya, it took Eternal Girl three years to develop the Rasengan.

"After that, Jiraiya also mastered the Rasengan, and he didn't use it for very long, I remember..."

Genichi was secretly pondering under the tree.

He remembered a scene in the anime where Jiraiya boasted to Minato Namikaze that he had mastered the Rasengan, only to be embarrassed by Minato's calm demeanor.

At that time, Minato Namikaze was already taking Kakashi on missions.

Although it was a theatrical version and the timeline is questionable, it can still be used as a reference.

When Obito Uchiha graduated at the age of 9, Minato Namikaze officially became the mentor of Kakashi and his two companions.

That is, around Konoha year 45, four years later.

Kakashi might even graduate this year.

Genichi Kishita vaguely remembered that after Kakashi graduated, there were other teachers leading the team, and that when Kakashi was seven years old, Sakumo Hatake committed suicide, which caused a drastic change in his personality, leading to repeated conflicts with other team members and resulting in several changes of the team.

Genichi under the tree calculated the time.

Two years later, in Konoha Year 43, Sakumo Hatake committed suicide, and Kakashi's personality began to change.

Let's assume that Minato Namikaze started taking Kakashi on missions in Konoha 44, by which time Minato had already mastered the Rasengan.

Let's go back three years...

"In other words, it's very likely that Minato Namikaze has already started developing this technique..."

The four balloons were filled with water, and Xuan Yi returned to the tree: "Although we've hit the same spot, it's still uncertain who will finish first."

"Minato Namikaze developed the Rasengan because of the Tailed Beast Ball, but me..."

Xuan Yi sat on the ground under the tree, his eyes darting around, and he quickly found a reason.

This excuse is just to appease others.

The reason why Genichi Koushi wanted to learn the Rasengan was not only because he lacked the resources for ninjutsu, but also because he wanted to establish a persona for himself.

The "genius persona"!
