Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

I've almost forgotten when I last slept this comfortably.

Early in the morning, the chirping of birds outside the window woke Tetsuya from his deep sleep. After sitting up in bed and stretching his arms, Tetsuya landed on the ground barefoot, feeling refreshed.

Good morning, Teacher Hong.

Just as Tetsuya was washing up, there was a knock on the first-floor door. When he opened the door, he saw Kurenai Yuhi.

"After organizing my father's ninja notes, I copied a few fire-style ninjutsu from them."

Kurenai Yuhi didn't enter the room, but instead handed over a document. It not only detailed the hand seal sequence for three C-rank and two B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu, but also included some insights that Kurenai Yuhi jotted down while practicing Fire Release.

"Thank you, Teacher Hong."

Tetsuya happily flipped through the documents and discovered that, apart from one C-rank ninjutsu he hadn't mastered, he had already obtained the other four fire-style techniques from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Tetsuya was originally thinking about how to clear his name of the Fire Release ninjutsu, but now it's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy.

Aside from the Sarutobi clan's unique Fire Release ninjutsu, which requires some caution, other Fire Release techniques can be openly used in battle.

Tetsuya followed Kurenai Yuhi to the training ground while flipping through his notes, where he found Asuma Sarutobi already waiting with a hot breakfast in hand.

"Hong, why did you leave early today?"

Upon seeing Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma's slightly weathered face broke into a smile.

"This is my new student, Tetsuya. His talent in genjutsu is no less than mine. However, relying solely on genjutsu is too limited, so I found him a few fire-style ninjutsu."

Upon hearing Kurenai's praise, Asuma glanced at Tetsuya a few times and laughed heartily.

"Why don't you come to me if you need Fire Release ninjutsu? The Sarutobi clan's Fire Release ninjutsu is the best in Konoha!"

Well, after the Uchiha clan was wiped out, not only did the Hyuga clan dare to shamelessly start calling themselves the number one clan in Konoha, but the Sarutobi clan was not to be outdone and snatched the title of number one in Fire Release.

Asuma Chotetsu waved and then quickly walked to the center of the training field.

"Look carefully, this is the secret fire-style ninjutsu of our Sarutobi clan."

Seeing the incredibly familiar hand seal sequence, even before Asuma finished releasing the technique, Tetsu already knew what ninjutsu Asuma was about to use.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique".

Asma's mouth suddenly bulged, spewing out a fierce flame that formed a huge pillar of fire that shot towards a wooden stake three zhang away, turning it to ashes in just a few breaths.

"How about it? This is a secret fire-style ninjutsu passed down through generations of our Sarutobi clan. Even defensive ninjutsu can hardly withstand this raging flame... Back then, I only spent an hour learning this fire-style ninjutsu, which completely astonished the old man."

Since Asuma was Kurenai's student, he already considered Tetsuya one of his own. As he spoke, he glanced at Kurenai beside him and noticed that she didn't seem to have seen the powerful fire jutsu from just now, which made him a little disappointed.

"Next, I will explain the key points of this ninjutsu in detail. If there is anything you don't understand, please feel free to ask."

Asuma patted Tetsuya on the shoulder, and was about to slow down the hand seals to demonstrate again, but Tetsuya shook his head and took a step forward.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique".

Under Asuma's watchful gaze, Tetsuya performed the same ninjutsu, causing Asuma to drop the cigarette butt he was biting on the ground.

"I had heard before that Itachi, the one who wiped out his clan, could instantly learn a ninjutsu just by having his father demonstrate it once. I never imagined that I would witness the emergence of another genius this time."

Asuma stared wide-eyed at Tetsuya, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

"Sigh, if your talent had been discovered earlier, your achievements would probably be no less than Kakashi's."

Kurenai was also startled by the commotion, and her words were full of regret.

If Tetsuya can stand out in the Chunin Exams, he might be able to take the opportunity to suggest to the Hokage that future class leaders should be more responsible, instead of letting such a talent be buried.

"Teacher Kurenai is too kind. Compared to Lord Kakashi, who became a Jonin at the age of twelve, my talent is far inferior."

Tetsuya seemed a little embarrassed and said a few words of modesty.

By revealing a portion of his talent, his aim was naturally to escape the fate of being cannon fodder. Given Asuma's relationship with the Third Hokage, Tetsuya's reputation would likely reach Hiruzen Sarutobi's ears soon.

Although we are currently in a rare period of peace, small-scale skirmishes still occur on the borders of the five great nations. If one does not properly demonstrate their value, they will soon be used as cannon fodder and assigned to border patrols, or sent to other countries as spies to gather intelligence on other ninja villages for Konoha. This is something Tetsuya is unwilling to accept.

Although the five great ninja villages each have their own unique characteristics, Konoha is not only the village Tetsuya is most familiar with, but also the center of many major events to come. If he didn't receive a gift from his fellow transmigrator, staying away from Konoha would naturally be a good thing, but right now, before he has completely exploited the coveted abilities within Konoha, Tetsuya doesn't want to leave.

The physique of the Uzumaki clan, the cells of Hashirama Senju, and the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan...

All of these will become resources for Tetsuya to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world!

"I challenge you!"

Half a day had passed in the blink of an eye. Taking advantage of Kurenai Yuhi's brief absence, Kiba Inuzuka suddenly walked up to Tetsuya and spoke.

"Ya, isn't this a bad idea? Teacher Hong will be angry."

Hinata Hyuga, standing beside her, kept touching her chest with her index fingers and whispered a word of dissuasion.

"Alright, I accept your challenge."

Seeing the fighting spirit in Kiba Inuzuka's eyes, Tetsuya nodded and walked to the center of the training ground.

Simply burying oneself in hard training is not the best way to improve, and Tetsuya is also very curious about his actual combat strength.

"Hehe, that's more like it!"

Kiba Inuzuka learned from Kurenai Yuhi early this morning that Tetsuya had the talent to learn B-rank Fire Release after just one look. Remembering Tetsuya's previous refusal to fight, Kiba couldn't help but challenge him.

"It's in!"

Kiba Inuzuka, several feet away, didn't call out to his dog. He charged straight at Tetsuya. When he was still two feet away, he swung his arm, and several purple bullets fell around Tetsuya, creating a thick cloud of smoke that made it impossible for him to see anything.

The Inuzuka family possesses a unique ninja clan secret technique that allows them to concentrate chakra in their noses, granting them a sense of smell tens of thousands of times stronger than that of ordinary people. Even when surrounded by smoke, they can clearly pinpoint the enemy's location, thus amplifying their strengths and creating opportunities to attack.

Furthermore, Kiba Inuzuka knew that Tetsuya had been practicing genjutsu these days. He had embarrassed himself in front of Naraku's clone last time and afterwards came up with a way to release smoke to block his vision so as not to fall into the genjutsu.

It would be a good opportunity to test the effects of the Sharingan.

Beneath the purple smoke, Tetsuya, wearing colored contact lenses, activated his Sharingan and immediately detected Kiba Inuzuka's movement within the smoke.

"it's over!"

Behind Tetsuya, Kiba Inuzuka leaped high into the air and delivered a powerful chop to Tetsuya's neck.

What?

Just as he was about to succeed, Tetsuya seemed to have a premonition and slightly lowered his head to avoid Kiba Inuzuka's sure-fire attack. Then, he kicked Kiba in the shoulder, sending him flying out of the smoke and crashing heavily to the ground.

Wang Wang!

Seeing its master injured, Akamaru, who was still a tiny child, let out an angry shout and pounced on Tetsuya.
