I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

Hoshino Yu put her arm around Mizuki's shoulder and walked straight toward the newly opened ramen shop in the village.

At this time, Ichiraku Otsutsuki had not yet become his own boss, so there was no Ichiraku Ramen, and naturally, no one could see the true face of Ichiraku Otsutsuki.

To be honest, Hoshino Yu felt that when Pain invaded Konoha, one Shinra Tensei wiped out the entire village, yet Ichiraku Ramen was unharmed. It's hard not to suspect the identity of its owner, Ichiraku (just kidding).

Shuizhu glanced at the bustling street, first pulling his straw hat down to cover his face in case he ran into anyone he knew, before speaking to Hoshino Yu:

"Yu, I really envy you guys. You've already done so many missions."

"I don't have the talent to graduate early, I'll have to study for a few more years..."

Noticing that his friend beside him was somewhat dejected, he was filled with emotion.

There's nothing you can do about talent.

Being at the bottom of the class doesn't necessarily mean you can't succeed, but having little talent really means you have no future.

Naruto was a poor student when he was young, Obito Uchiha was a poor student when he was young, and even Might Guy was a poor student.

But can you say they aren't talented?

Absolutely not.

Naruto's poor performance in various aspects was due to the fact that when he was a child, he had to divert his chakra to suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Even so, he immediately learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, a technique he had used since childhood.

As for Rasengan and Sage Mode, needless to say, the former takes a month to learn, while the latter can be mastered in just seven days.

Uchiha Obito goes without saying; the phrase "Kamui cannot hide tears" highlights that anyone who can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan possesses extraordinary talent.

Might Guy, with his Eight Gates technique, was able to cripple Madara Uchiha in his Six Paths form, demonstrating his exceptional talent in taijutsu.

Therefore, these people are not truly bad; rather, their talent lies elsewhere, and with careful observation, one can always discover it.

But the water column is different.

After observing for a long time, Hoshino Yu discovered that apart from resembling Luffy in personality, behavior, and clothing, the Water Pillar was completely inferior in talent.

The Water Pillar's chakra nature is Water Release, but he doesn't have much chakra, far less than Minato and Nawaki.

The difference isn't apparent now because they're young, but it will become increasingly apparent when they turn twelve and their bodies are developing rapidly.

Not to mention his internal and external conditions, which are significantly different from those of naturally gifted ninjas.

Hoshino Yu speculated that without using any advanced technology, the highest achievement the Water Pillar could attain would be a Jonin.

Jonin are alright in the early stages because they are few in number and have a high status, but in the mid-to-late stages, ordinary Jonin are really no better than dogs.

Those so-called ninjas, when they fight, can destroy the world, each with more chakra than the last, and each with more sinister skills than the last.

If we really had to rank them, by the later stages, even movie-level films might not have a ticket to enter.

This timeframe roughly corresponds to 60 years after Konoha, a period when the entire ninja world was undergoing rapid development.

However, the only advanced technology in the ninja world besides hot-plugging eyeballs is human cell transplantation. But that technology has been under development for many years with little progress, let alone at the present stage.

Hoshino Yu thought that the demon potion Orochimaru had previously researched was more promising.

With his help, it is better than intercolumnar cells, at least in terms of safety and stability.

However, whether it will have any effect is hard to say. At the current pace of Orochimaru's research into the Devil Potion, it is estimated that it will be difficult to complete within two or three years.

However, if Orochimaru could actually develop a potion version of the Gum-Gum Fruit, Hoshino Yu wouldn't mind letting the Water Pillar try it out.

Of course, assuming there's no danger.

As the protagonist chosen by the system, Hoshino Yu stated that he is still very confident in the Water Pillar's personal luck.

However, it could also be said that meeting Hoshino Yu was a sign of good fortune.

Hoshino Yu thought for a moment, then smiled at the water column:

"What, you're giving up already? What happened to never giving up?"

"So what if they're not talented? There are plenty of people in the village who aren't talented, but they don't give up on themselves."

As she spoke, Hoshino Yu began to paint a rosy picture of the water column.

"Take Might Guy for example, a perennial genin. He's almost thirty now and still just a genin. If you were in his shoes, would you have given up?"

"But Might Guy-senpai didn't give up," Hoshino Yu said earnestly.

"Might Guy-senpai?" Water Pillar scratched his head in confusion upon hearing this.

He had memorized the names of most of the skilled fighters in the village.

However, there are too many genin to recognize them all, so Hoshino Yu was naturally not familiar with Might Guy, whom he was referring to.

Seeing this, Hoshino Yu walked and talked with him, telling him the story of Might Guy.

But back then, Might Guy...

It should be said that Might Guy of later generations used his Eight Gates technique to kick four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to death, making them the "Three Lucky Stars".

Little did people know that before this, Might Guy was just a nobody in Konoha, a perennial genin that most people looked down on.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, as the ace unit of Kirigakure, were renowned for their prowess. Legend has it that the seven of them could conquer a small country in a single night, inspiring fear in all who heard of them.

If we're really talking about it, each of them individually is definitely Jonin level. If they were together, even Kage-level powerhouses wouldn't get any advantage in front of them, and might even be killed.

But even such a gang was blown up by a mere low-level ninja, which shows how ordinary they were.

But as for Matt Daly's talent, it's neither exceptionally high nor exceptionally low.

Although Might Guy is still relatively unknown at this stage, Hoshino Yu has seen him in the village.

That passion for the ninja profession was something he could never experience in his lifetime.

After Hoshino Yu finished introducing Might Guy's basic information, the two arrived at the location of the ramen shop.

The receptionist was a smiling old man, with a boy of about ten years old with a buzz cut by his side.

Upon seeing Hoshino Yu and his companion arrive, the shopkeeper, along with the boy, bowed and smiled, saying:

"Welcome! What would you two like to eat?"

Hoshino Yu and Mizuki sat on the bench, looking up and observing for a moment.

The store is newly opened, so it still has a slight smell of paint from the recent renovations.

Perhaps due to the era, the store is not as modern as Hoshino Yu saw in the anime, but is filled with the atmosphere of the Showa era.

"Boss, any recommendations?"

"Would you recommend it? I understand. We've recently developed a new miso soup ramen; you two can try it!"

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Yu turned to look at the water column and asked:

"How about giving it a try?"

"I'm fine with anything," the water column replied.

"Boss, two servings of miso soup ramen, please."

The boss bowed and agreed, then went to the kitchen to start preparing for the work, while the young man next to him sat steadily at the front desk.

However, looking at the child's appearance, Hoshino Yu felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

I felt like that guy was like the future Ichiraku Otsutsuki.
