Chapter 1: ch1
Southern part of the Divine Tree Continent, 10 a.m., West Valley No. 6 High School.
Jingle bell!
The bell rang, and a large number of students walked out of the classroom, the quiet campus suddenly becoming noisy.
These students gathered together in small groups, talking and laughing, all heading in the same direction—the training ground of West Valley High.
Compared to boring theoretical classes, students at an active age prefer the practical classes that occur once a month.
Every student was very excited, discussing with their friends who was strong and who was weak in the school.
"Hey," a skinny boy in a school uniform nudged a short-haired boy next to him, a curious look on his face.
"John, who do you think will take first place in this month's practical class, Noah or Ethan?"
The young man named John is about 5'11" tall, with a handsome appearance. His short black hair makes him look clean and energetic.
"It should still be Ethan," John thought for a moment and said. "His Lava Style is a Bloodline Limit, after all, and Noah's Byakugan isn't a match yet."
"But the Byakugan is also a Bloodline Limit," the skinny boy said, about 5'3", a head shorter than John. He protested, "How can it be weaker than Lava Style?"
"His is a pupil technique Bloodline Limit. When they're all Genin rookies, it isn't as powerful as a Ninjutsu Bloodline Limit," John continued to explain.
Their conversation attracted many curious classmates, all waiting for him to continue his analysis.
In their minds, the only real ninja opponents for the next class are Byakugan Noah and Lava Style Ethan.
The classmates all knew that these two came from wealthy families with profound backgrounds and countless cultivation resources.
While everyone else could only practice Taijutsu or be ninja apprentices, they had mastered Ninjutsu and become real ninjas.
"Let's go and hear what John the Scholar has to say."
"Yeah, this guy knows so much. I don't know how he studies every day and remembers so many things."
"Yes, speaking of which, I admire John even more. Noah and Ethan are strong because they're from wealthy families. Only John is a commoner ninja like us."
"Yes, I think John won't be worse than these two in the future. He just needs to wait for an opportunity, and that opportunity is coming soon."
"That's right, in one week we'll all be able to enter the world of the Sacred Tree. Then we'll awaken together. Maybe I'll awaken a Bloodline Limit."
Many students followed John and listened to his analysis.
John waved his hand and said, "I still hold the same view as before. If Noah can only tap acupuncture points, he won't be able to break through Ethan's 'Granite Technique' defense."
"Unless he masters Gentle Fist within this month, uses his Byakugan to see the acupoints clearly, and turns Chakra into needles to insert into Ethan's body to restrict his Chakra flow, he'll still be defeated."
After he said this, many students were confused.
Gentle Fist, Granite Technique, Acupuncture Points, Needles... They simply couldn't understand these professional terms.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds awesome," the skinny boy gave John a thumbs up, and the others cast admiring glances.
We're all civilian ninjas and high school seniors. Why does John know so much?
Seeing everyone's expressions of admiration, John felt amused.
"As long as you're a Hokage fan, you'll know this simple Ninjutsu restraint relationship."
That's right, John wasn't originally from the Divine Tree Continent but came from Earth.
Before time travel, he was an ordinary high school student. When he spotted a dog thief and stepped forward to stop him, he was stabbed in the chest by the thief.
He was confused at that time. How could someone steal a dog and kill someone?
However, the dog thief may have overreacted out of desperation. After stabbing him, he ran away without calling an ambulance. By the time people found John lying in a pool of blood, he was already cold.
While waiting for death to come, John regretted endlessly and did not want to die like this.
He thought back on his life and found that it was quite a failure.
His biological parents divorced when he was very young, and neither wanted to take him, so he was sent to an elderly childless woman in the countryside for foster care.
The old woman gave John a small amount of family affection, but she died when he was ten years old.
Fortunately, the simple villagers gave him meals and supported his schooling.
Originally, John had finished taking the college entrance examination and got good grades. He was admitted to a prestigious local university and was gearing up to study hard and repay the villagers for their upbringing.
Then the dog thief came and sent him to the Sacred Tree Continent with a knife.
He figured out the world within a few years of time travel. He was quite speechless at the time. This was actually the world of ninjas.
If you don't pursue technology and focus on making extraordinary Ninjutsu, your technology level can barely reach the level of life on Earth, and your weapons are only conventional gunpowder types.
But the people here have a natural cheat: they have countless secret realms.
There are a lot of monsters in the secret realm, and they are full of treasures. The most direct thing is that eating the meat of monsters can change your physical fitness.
In addition to a large number of World of Warcraft-type secret realms, the Divine Tree Continent also has a realm called the 'Sacred Tree World.' Everyone can enter it when they are 18 years old and gain unexpected benefits.
John is young and has been an orphan all his life. He was adopted by a commoner couple and has limited experience.
After much research, he finally confirmed that the world of the Sacred Tree was the comic book he liked to read in his previous life, the world of Hokage ninjas.
People from the Sacred Tree Continent entered the world of Hokage through the vines hanging down from a towering tree of unknown height. This shocked John when he saw others entering for the first time.
"Isn't this the sacred tree summoned by the 'God Deep Forest Creation' of the ultimate Genjutsu 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' in the original work?"
"How could it appear in the real world? Is entering the Hokage world a conspiracy? Does it want to drain the Chakra from people's bodies?"
John thought so for many years to come. In fact, it was Infinite Tsukuyomi in the original work that left a stereotype on him.
However, he later confirmed that although the sacred tree in reality looks the same as the one in the Hokage world, its purpose is not to drain people's Chakra.
Not only is it not, but quite the opposite, it can feed back Chakra to people.
All these are understood by high school students in the Divine Tree Continent, and they are almost at the age of contact.
It was taught in school textbooks, and John still remembers the contents verbatim, but some of them are too funny in his opinion.
For example, when it comes to choosing a camp, the school actually recommends students to choose the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth, without mentioning anything about Konoha Village, the Land of Fire.
John has understood some of the reasons over the years.
He analyzed from those who had entered the world of the Sacred Tree that the Hokage world that appeared now should be at the end of Konoha 55 when the Uchiha clan was exterminated before the plot began.
During this period, Konoha lost a lot of talents, including at least four at the kage level.
Orochimaru defected, Tsunade ran away, Jiraiya traveled around...
The only reliable one, Kakashi Hatake, was also forced to commit suicide a few years ago. As a result, the huge Konoha was only supported by an old Third Hokage, which was naturally not as powerful as the strong brothers in their prime from the Land of Lightning.
