Traveling Through Multiple Realms: The Supporting Character's Counterattack

After breakfast, Genma said goodbye to his parents and set off for the ninja academy.

Konoha Village was already awake in the early morning, and the streets were bustling with people.

Genma walked along the familiar road, feeling the vitality surging within him.

They hadn't gone far when they heard a clear voice call from behind: "Genma!"

He turned around and saw it was Kurenai Yuhi.

She wore her hair in a ponytail, and her red eyes shone brightly in the morning light.

Beside her were Asuma Sarutobi, who had a blade of grass in his mouth, and the quiet and obedient Shizune.

Good morning.

Genma greeted them with a smile, and the group naturally walked together.

"Genma, you look especially energetic today."

Hong keenly noticed his difference.

"Really? Maybe it's because you slept well last night."

Genma gave a vague answer, but he knew in his heart that these were changes brought about by the replenishment of his soul and the optimization of his physique.

Asma spat out the grass root and yawned: "I didn't sleep well. My old man tested my shurikenjutsu last night, and it kept me up until very late."

Silently, she said, "The Hokage is doing this for your own good."

The group chatted and laughed as they quickly arrived at the ninja academy.

The classroom was already quite full, with noise rising and falling.

Genma found his seat and looked around—Might Guy, Ebisu, Ibiki Morino, Mizuki, Rin Nohara, Aoba Yamashiro, and Raido Namiashi were all familiar figures.

"Ring ring...!"

A little while later, the school bell rang on time, and Mr. Funano Daikoku walked into the classroom with the class roster. He coughed and began to take attendance.

Genma Shiranui.

"arrive."

"Red Sunset".

"arrive."

"Sarutobi Asuma".

"arrive."

……

"Uchiha Obito".

no respond.

Funano Daikoku called out twice more, and a few snickers echoed in the classroom.

The teacher shook his head as if it were commonplace, made a mark on the roster, and the students in the class seemed to take it for granted as well.

The moment the roll call was finished, the classroom door was suddenly pulled open, and Obito appeared in the doorway, panting heavily, his goggles askew.

"Report! Teacher, I was late because I helped an elderly lady cross the street!"

The classroom erupted in laughter again.

Funano Daikoku sighed, "The same excuse again. Go back to your seat. Don't do it again."

Obito felt like he'd been granted a pardon and quickly slipped to his seat, not forgetting to steal a glance in Rin's direction.

Genma watched this scene with a slight smile on his lips.

The feeling of seeing a scene on a screen in a past life now happening in front of you is quite magical.

"Okay, quiet down."

Funano Daikoku tapped the blackboard. "Today we're going to review the nature transformations of chakra."

Returning to the classroom was indeed a novel experience for Genma, who had already been in society for many years in his previous life.

He sat up straight and listened attentively.

Funano Daikoku drew a diagram on the blackboard: "Chakra nature transformation is an advanced aspect of ninja training, usually explored in depth only after becoming a Chunin. But as future ninjas, you need to understand it in advance..."

Genma discovered that although the ninja school's curriculum was completely different from the math and science he had learned in his previous life, it was not difficult for him, a person who had received higher education and experienced the information explosion era, to understand.

In particular, the enhanced comprehension after his soul was restored allowed him to quickly grasp the key points.

When Funano Daikoku explained the principles of chakra conversion between different attributes, Genma could even recall the laws of conservation and conversion of energy he had learned in his previous life.

When the teacher demonstrates a simple trap setup, Genma can immediately understand its mechanical principles and psychological motivations.

"You were listening really attentively today."

Asuma leaned closer and whispered, "Don't you usually zone out a lot?"

Genma smiled and said, "I suddenly find this quite interesting."

During breaks, students gather in twos and threes.

Genma saw Obito gesturing wildly around Rin, trying to salvage his image from the morning's embarrassing moment.

"Genma, let's have a shuriken-throwing contest!"

A classmate invited him.

Genma thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

This is a good opportunity to test how much my practical skills have improved after the changes in my body.

The result was surprising – the shuriken thrower, who was originally only at a mid-level, hit the bullseye every time after the first three attempts to get a feel for it, and his movements were so smooth that the students watching were astonished.

"Wow, Genma, you've really exceeded expectations today!"

"Did you secretly undergo special training?"

Genma smiled modestly, but he knew in his heart that this was not only the result of physical optimization, but also a manifestation of the improved control over his body after his soul was restored.

The next lesson is basic physical training.

On the playground, Genma discovered that his endurance, speed, and strength had all improved significantly.

He, who usually gets out of breath after running just a few laps, completed the entire course with ease today, and his breathing remained steady.

At the end of the training, Funano Daikoku specifically praised him: "Genma has made great progress today, keep it up."

The school bell rang, and students left the classroom one after another.

Genma packed up his ninja tool bag and started walking home.

The setting sun cast a long shadow over him, and he felt the power flowing through his body, filled with confidence for his future path as a ninja.

"Not just for myself..."

He thought of another version of himself suffering in the laboratory, "also in order to have the power to change his destiny as soon as possible."

This thought made him quicken his pace and head towards the grove where he had practiced his morning exercises.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm golden cloak over the grove of trees behind Konoha Village.

Genma stood in the clearing in the forest, took a deep breath of the air mixed with the fragrance of soil and grass, and felt the chakra in his body was much more abundant than in the morning.

As he expected, the physical gifts of the Abellunaria clan were constantly nourishing and improving his body, making his chakra increasingly abundant.

He first darted and darted across the vertical tree trunks like a nimble monkey, then lightly treaded on the water, creating ripples.

Whether climbing trees or wading in water, it all felt as natural to him as breathing.

After warming up, he turned his gaze to the tree trunk not far away.

Several shuriken flew from his fingertips, whistling sharply through the air, and with a few soft "thuds," they accurately embedded themselves in the trunk of a large tree thirty meters away.

Even more astonishing is that each shuriken tip is pierced by a pre-marked, fingernail-sized dead leaf.

"Within thirty meters, you can hit exactly where you point. This level of precision is sufficient for conventional shurikenjutsu."

Genma walked over and sheathed the swords in his hand one by one. He didn't feel much joy, but instead a bolder idea arose in his heart.

"Conventional throwing is ultimately linear and one-dimensional. What truly proves effective in combat is the shuriken technique—the ability to curve, deflect, and attack from unpredictable angles!"

Images of the Uchiha clan members, especially Itachi Uchiha's incredible shuriken skills in the future, flashed through his mind.

PS: In the original setting, the age gap in this generation is very large. Genma Shiranui is the oldest, three years older than Guy and six years older than Hayate Gekko. However, in the anime, Hayate Gekko is in the same class as Guy, Obito, and others, and they graduate at different times.

In short, it's a mess. For the sake of convenience, this book sets up that all of Konoha's Golden Generation are in the same class and will graduate at the same time. Don't worry about the setting; the setting is just for fun. What does Kishimoto know about Naruto?
