Naruto: Path towards Godhood

Chapter 16: Reaching Elite Level



'Although I am not exactly sure what it is, I can be confident that it is related to the Chakra and powers of the Shukaku.'

'If it is a seed that is similar to other plants, then there is a possibility I can grow it with points.'

'If that's the case, I can raise an entire Tailed Beast by myself and become a Jinchuriki.'

'For most people, this might not be good news, but for someone who has the knowledge of the future, I know what Jinchuriki represents.'

'Massive Chakra Reserves and a lot of unique abilities alongside the ability to use massive Gundam. Well, maybe not like Naruto and Sasuke, but similar to Madara.'

'After all, with the system, I will have a possibility of awakening Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.'

Ken couldn't help but feel goosebumps thinking about it.

Just a day ago, he was thinking about how he could change the future of Uchiha Clan, and now, he was thinking of becoming the second Madara.

Well, not exactly in the traditional. He didn't want to become the second Madara. He just wanted to achieve the same level of strength as his.

'But right now, I don't have the time to think about it. Since this person is so confident that I will die, Jonin must arrive in a few minutes.'

'If I want to win against a Jonin, just a simple attack won't be enough. I need to plan every single step of my next fight to win.'

'Otherwise, I am just going to die. But even for that, I need the strength closer to a Jonin, maybe the strength of Special Jonin.'

'But, I am clearly not a Jonin level at any category. I don't have speed, strength, Chakra Reserves, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, or even other powers.'

'But among these, one thing that I can improve to a higher level is Chakra Reserves. I should be able to double it now. I want to reach Double Magatama on my own.'

'So, let's just save the remaining points for an emergency.'

Thinking about it, Ken opened the status panel and upgraded his Chakra.

In an instant, he felt a strong energy surging through his body. It wasn't just his Chakra Reserves increasing.

No, no, no, he could feel his body and mind getting stronger and sharper.

If he could throw a child bear with his body before, now he could throw an adult bear with his body.

That was an improvement he got.

And, the deeper he tried to feel his body, the more terrified his expression became.

It wasn't just his body and mind getting stronger. They had evolved if his base body could extract 1 Chakra before.

Then, his current body could extract 4 Chakra.

It wasn't because his Chakra Reserves had doubled. No, his previous assumption was a huge underestimation of this system's ability.

But he wasn't completely wrong either.

The way he evolved was the main reason behind his strong reaction.

After half a minute, Ken decided to point out the gains he got after this improvement.

There were four gains that were easy to point out.

First, his Chakra had doubled.

Second, he could get twice the result of physical exercise than before.

Third, his mental energy had amped up so much that he could pull even Chunin in a Genjutsu with rather ease.

Fourth, there must been a new change in his Chakra.

After figuring out these gains, he decided to rely on his system to understand them better.

So, he opened his new Status Panel.

'That's a massive improvement. I skipped Low Chunin, Mid Chunin, High Chunin and directly reached Elite Chunin.'

'This kind of improvement truly makes me wanna use this system even more.'

'During this battle, my Chakra Reserve had increased by 0.1 points despite consuming a lot of Chakra in the battle. So, the current Chakra amount makes total sense.'

'If I am not wrong, I have the Chakra Reserve of a proper Jonin, if not Elite Jonin, right now.'

'There has been a massive improvement in my Sharingan despite using it for a few minutes only. This could be because of the life and death battle.'

'The same goes for Genjutsu Sharingan, which improved a lot even though I only used it a few times. I think it related to my mental energy improvement.'

'Other things are the same. I shouldn't use points to increase my Sharingan since I could easily gain more points from battle.'

'But, I need to keep these points as trump cards. So, in case I can't upgrade my Sharingan on time, this will help me upgrade them.'

'Even with all of that, I am only Elite Chunin level. That means if I want to fight a Jonin, I would need a lot of strategy and luck.'

'But before any of that, let's go and talk to my friends.'

Ken thought to himself and closed the status panel. Then, he walked up to his friends and delivered the bad news.

"I hope you can recover your Chakra quickly. We might be facing a Jonin next."

Hearing his words, Mito and Jenzi were stunned. They just finished fighting Chunin.

Yeah, they didn't fight much, but they were able to distract Chunin for long enough.

"A-ar-are you kidding with us, Ken?" Jenzi tried to shake off his thoughts with fear as he asked.

"Are we going to die here?" Mito clutched her arms around her legs and shed tears.

Unlike Jenzi and Ken, she almost did nothing in this battle except use her Hiding in the Mist Jutsu.

Although it bought her enough time, it did make her realize just how useless she was.

That wasn't the case.

Mito was an exceptional Genin for her age. Especially since she could use a Jutsu given to her just yesterday.

In just a single day, she managed to learn a Jutsu that some people might take weeks.

Even Jenzi was weaker than her. But their gifts were different. She was given that Jutsu so that she could learn to use it with her Water Style.

But, she didn't get a chance to develop her perception talent. So, without that, she was pretty much useless in that battle.

On the other hand, Jenzi was gifted several stacks of Exploding Tags that he could exploit in the battle.

This allowed him to fight someone like Jiro, who was good at Wind Release for so long.

Hearing their words, Ken shook his head and made a fist.

"We won't die here. No matter what, we will survive. I know defeating a Jonin is not the same as defeating a Chunin, and it's probably gonna take a lot from us."

"But, we can't give up. That being said, if you don't want to fight and run away, I will not stop you."

His words stunned Mito and Jenzi. They didn't expect Ken to have so much confidence in himself.

But when he said that last sentence, they felt angry in their hearts. Both of them stood up at the same time and punched in his chest.

"Damn it! Do you think we will leave you behind and run away? Do you think that low of us?" Mito scolded him while wiping away her tears.

"Yeah, even if we die, we will die together. I am not going to run away and leave you behind." Jenzi nodded his head and replied.

Hearing their words, Ken felt strange emotion in his heart. This emotion was strong, so strong that he hadn't felt this way since he lost his parents.

He knew it was selfish of him to stick here and fight.

Maybe if they ran away, they could still get the achievement of killing three Chunin. That might even help them survive in the village.

But Mito and Jenzi didn't even think of that for a moment.

Whether they could was not the main point.

The main point was that they were more than willing to die together even though they had been together only for a week.

At this moment, Ken's Sharingan turned on. The single Magatama on the red pupil began to spin, and a small dot tried to appear on that pupil.

But something was pulling it back. Something was stopping that dot from appearing.

Because of that, Ken didn't open his double magatama Sharingan.
