NOVEL WEB Chapter 24: Chapter 24
Then, in order to test the cultivation function, Naoki mentally thought about the principles of other techniques to learn them, but he failed. He even wanted to obtain the sage mode through the system, but in the end he found that he lacked one necessary condition, affinity with the natural chakra.
This is a unique characteristic of the Sage Body.
Only then did Naoki realize that the cultivation function would not help him if he created principles out of thin air. He had to understand the principles of the technique he was learning by about 80-90%, only then could he learn it directly through the system.
Just like the Rasenshuriken this time. In fact, this was a problem he had been thinking about ever since he first learned the Rasengan. By now, he had clearly understood the principles behind this technique. Of course, with all this knowledge, he might be able to reproduce this technique himself through hard and persistent training.
However, the principles of the techniques that he came up with out of thin air are simply impossible to implement, since it is just an idea without specific steps to achieve the goal, and quite naturally, he failed.
As for the reason why he couldn't learn Sage Mode through the system, it must be a problem with his own body. People with Sage Body can get twice the results with half the effort by practicing Sage Mode. Without a huge amount of chakra and a special physique, Sage Mode cannot be mastered.
Although Naoki had strengthened himself, he already had quite decent physical characteristics and a considerable amount of chakra, he was still far from being able to practice Sage Mode. Therefore, even if he was well acquainted with the principles of mastering it, he would not be able to learn it through the system.
"Okay, let's forget about it, there's no point in dwelling on it for now. I just need to continue living peacefully, being a jonin, and occasionally spin the lottery. Who knows, maybe I'll get the Sage's Body and the Rinnegan from there," Naoki thought to himself.
After mastering Rasenshuriken, he gained another trump card.
He spent the next three days wandering around the country, and only then returned to the village and reported the mission to Hiruzen.
Of course, the mission was successfully completed. As for the details, Naoki simply made them up. In any case, the old man would never have thought about the relationship between him and Esdeath.
The third one really wanted to promote Naoki again and offered him to become an ANBU captain once again. Of course, Naoki refused and firmly stated that he was not going to become an ANBU captain.
In response, the old man frowned and looked at the boy, "Naoki, ever since you were promoted to jonin, you seem to be becoming lazier and lazier. Was your goal just to become a jonin?"
Hearing this, Naoki feigned confusion and said, "Hokage-sama, becoming a jonin was already very difficult for me, and I am extremely happy that I was able to achieve this. I can safely remain an ordinary jonin, and share all your hardships and difficulties. I will willingly continue to serve you, Hokage-sama, as an ordinary jonin."
The third one couldn't help but be shocked, "So that's your main goal? Don't you want to be Hokage?"
"I don't think I'm fit to be Hokage, and you're still in your prime," Naoki said with a smile.
"Kid, I'm already a decrepit old man! It's high time to prepare a candidate for the post of the next Hokage. Aside from my three students, you and Kakashi are the only two people in Konoha who are most suitable for the position of the Fifth Hokage. But I think you are more suitable for this role than him, you know?" Hiruzen looked at Naoki, sighed and looked at the village outside the window. At this moment, he seemed to slouch even more.
However, it was not so easy to move Naoki: even if a huge meteorite fell on Konoha, he must remain a jonin!
Become Hokage? Only over his dead body!
This is a vital question related to the functioning of the system. Even if the entire world decided for him to become Hokage, it would not shake Naoki's decision one iota.
Therefore, all these heart-rending and sincere words addressed to him were not destined to have any effect.
Seeing Naoki remain silent, the Third turned around with a bitter smile, "I hope you've thought about it carefully. With your current strength, even if it's still a little lacking, as long as you continue to work hard, you can confidently apply for the position of Hokage. If you want, I can even lend you the Scroll of Seals. If you can master the techniques in the scroll, I think the other old men in Konoha won't dare say anything."
Scroll of Seal!
He didn't expect the old man to offer something so attractive. If Naoki had no systemic limitations, he would naturally agree without hesitation. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be.
