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

The next day, as the morning sun shone on his face, Tetsuya slowly opened his dark eyes, leaped up from his chair, and clearly felt an unprecedented abundance of chakra within his body.

Despite working tirelessly all night to refine chakra, Tetsuya remained in good spirits and showed no signs of fatigue, except for feeling hungry.

"As expected of the bloodline left behind by Hagoromo Otsutsuki..."

After closing his eyes and sensing the astonishing changes within his body, Tetsuya silently sighed in his heart.

In the past, Che could only refine chakra for two hours at a time before reaching his limit, so when had he ever fought such a rich battle? In just one night, not only did his chakra quantity double, but the quality of his chakra also underwent an astonishing change.

Moreover, Tetsuya could clearly sense that even without deliberate refinement, his chakra level was still subtly and continuously increasing.

"Transformation Technique!"

As a cloud of white mist rose up, Tetsuya had already transformed into Kakashi's appearance. All the slightly awkward problems he had encountered when performing the Three Bodies Technique in the past disappeared completely, and he completed the task in one go in an incredibly smooth manner.

Bang!

The white mist dissipated, and Che Ye returned to his original appearance, nodding in satisfaction.

It seems that after merging with the bloodline of the Uchiha clan, his talent, which was originally near the bottom in the ninja academy, has been greatly improved. Both his memory and understanding of ninjutsu have undergone subtle changes.

It's a pity there aren't any new ninjutsu scrolls, otherwise we could have tested them out.

Feeling hungry, Tetsuya changed his clothes and prepared to go out for a big meal.

Inside Ichiraku Ramen, Tetsuya ate three bowls of ramen in one go, finally filling his stomach.

After paying, Tetsuya hesitated for a moment and decided to try his luck at the Hokage Building.

Unfortunately, Tetsuya's luck was still not very good, and since his original team had been disbanded, there weren't many ninja missions suitable for solo players. In the end, the ninja in charge of issuing missions assigned Tetsuya a D-rank mission to clean up river garbage.

At least there's a reward of six thousand taels, and I don't even have to split it with the team members...

Leaving the Hokage Building, Tetsuya showed no sign of disliking the mission and headed straight for the section of river marked by the mission.

Although his current chakra reserves are comparable to those of an elite genin, Tetsuya is still a novice ninja who only knows the Three Body Techniques. Therefore, he doesn't think about taking on missions that require leaving Konoha to complete. Instead, he honestly does the boring missions that were originally assigned to genin who have just graduated from the Ninja Academy.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed, and the two bags on the shore were almost full of garbage. Tetsuya would soon be able to finish his task ahead of schedule.

"Help……"

Just then, a cry for help came from upstream. Tetsuya frowned slightly, leaped up the tree trunk to the treetop, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

As a transmigrator, Tetsuya had long since completed his training in climbing trees and walking on water, and even with his chakra now greatly increased, he was not affected in any way.

"It was him?"

From the treetop, Tetsuya quickly spotted a yellow floating object drifting downstream. Occasionally, as it struggled, it revealed its signature six-pronged mustache – it was Naruto Uzumaki.

On the other side of the river, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno ran anxiously, but Naruto was some distance from the bank. Even though Sasuke ran faster, he could only watch helplessly as Naruto floated past them.

Where's Kakashi?

What about the hidden, protected forces?

Tetsuya's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he quickly ruled out the possibility that this was a test from the Konoha higher-ups.

If Konoha were to suspect Tetsuya, the Anbu or even the Root ninja would definitely launch a full-scale attack, without needing to put the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in danger.

It must have just been a coincidence...

Just as Naruto floated past, Tetsuya suddenly descended from the sky, his feet firmly planted on the river surface. He pulled forward with his wrist, grabbed Naruto's waving arm, and then forcefully flung the slightly thin body toward the shore.

Sasuke reacted quickly and caught the flailing Naruto, getting splashed with water in the process, and looked disgusted.

"As expected, he's the worst student. As a ninja, he actually slipped and fell into the river, almost drowning. How embarrassing."

Annoyed, Sasuke threw Naruto to the ground, slapping the water droplets off his body and unable to resist making a sarcastic remark.

"Thank you so much for saving me, big brother."

Naruto scratched his head sheepishly, turned around, and spoke loudly to Tetsuya.

"We are all ninjas from Konoha, so naturally we should help each other."

Tetsuya casually scooped up a lot of trash from the bottom of the river before walking step by step to the shore.

"Wow, that's amazing! They can actually walk on water..."

Sakura covered her mouth and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, causing Naruto and Sasuke to look down, their faces also showing amazement.

"Didn't your instructors teach you how to control your chakra to climb trees and tread water like that?"

As Tetsuya threw the trash into the bag, he couldn't help but think to himself that Kakashi was really irresponsible.

If it weren't for the crisis of being ambushed by Zabuza and Haku in the Land of Waves, Kakashi would have had to frantically instruct the three members of Team 7 in their training. What were they doing when they were looking for cats and dogs before?

However, Kakashi is not an isolated case. At least Tetsuya's guidance of Chunin was no less impressive. In the half year before leaving Konoha, even though Tetsuya tried his best to please him, he was unable to get any guidance on training from him, let alone be taught ninjutsu.

"Climbing trees and splashing in puddles?"

Looking at the bewildered Team 7, with the aim of gaining their favor, and also because this was common knowledge among ninjas, Tetsuya explained the training methods for climbing trees and walking on water, and even personally demonstrated them several times.

This genin is quite helpful; it's made things easier for me...

In the shadows where no one noticed, Kakashi held a copy of Icha Icha Paradise in one hand, but his attention remained fixed on Team 7 in the distance.

After Tetsuya finished his instruction, Kakashi closed the book about the Imperial Uncle and walked out step by step.

"Hey, you guys seem pretty energetic, aren't you going to do the mission?"

Naruto, who had barely managed to take three steps up the tree, was startled by Kakashi's voice. His chakra became disordered, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Kakashi-sensei, you didn't tell us about such an important training method!"

Rubbing his sore bottom, Naruto jumped up and pointed at Kakashi, shouting angrily.

"Ahem, I've never been a homeroom teacher before, I forgot about that."

Even Kakashi, with his thick skin, seemed a little embarrassed, his exposed eyes curving into crescent shapes.

"So your instructor is the famous copy ninja Kakashi Jonin. I've been showing off my limited skills before you."

Upon seeing Kakashi's appearance, Tetsuya had no intention of trying to befriend him. He picked up the bag full of trash and prepared to leave.

"Wait a mininute……"

As they passed each other, Kakashi suddenly spoke, took a scroll from his pocket, and threw it at Tetsuya.

This is……

Tetsuya gripped the scroll with his five fingers and immediately saw the markings on it.

Illusion Technique: The Technique of Seeing the Abyss.

"It will take them some time to complete their ninja mission, and how much you learn depends on your luck."

Upon hearing Kakashi's instructions, Tetsuya managed to control his expression and thanked him repeatedly with a joyful look on his face.

Kakashi actually gave a ninjutsu as a reward, which is extremely rare, even if it has a time limit for learning.

It's important to know that, apart from Sasuke, who was his direct disciple, neither Naruto nor Sakura Haruno received Kakashi's instruction in ninjutsu.

What Tetsu didn't know was that knowing he would become the Sixth Hokage in the future had slightly changed Kakashi's mindset. In addition, Tetsu had done a heroic deed by saving Naruto, and Kakashi sensed the impressive chakra and spiritual power within Tetsu, which was remarkable for a genin. That's why Kakashi was willing to offer a D-rank genjutsu as a reward.
