Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

"You have killed the new Jinchuriki. The Nine-Tails' half of its body has died. Mission completion rate: 25%. Mission score: 0.2."

"You have received the newbie reward; two of your random stats have been upgraded to the maximum level."

"The final quest for this instance has been partially completed; a new instance is currently being generated..."

Fortunately, although Yugen was suddenly killed, his body still completed the planned action, and he carried out an assassination right under the Third Hokage's nose.

Yu Xian was multitasking. He quickly browsed the system messages, and after seeing the relevant prompts, he almost instantly brought up the system panel. He then discovered that the number after his "Chakra" had changed to "10+".

There's also the item "印" (seal), and it's even followed by "EX".

"EX? Shouldn't it be MAX?"

Okay, the meaning is easier to understand now. After all, due to physiological limitations, human hand speed has its limits, and Yu Xian has now reached that limit.

Although both of his stats have reached the maximum level, a closer comparison reveals that there are different levels of maximum.

There's no room for improvement in the "Seal" stat, but there might still be room for improvement in the "Chakra" stat, though it's not easy to reflect in the numerical values ​​anymore.

After confirming his gains, Yu Xian began to search for what had just killed him so easily.

On the one hand, he felt the assassination was too easy. Although he thought there was a chance of success while everyone's attention was diverted, it was at best a possibility.

Putting aside the other ninjas, the Third Hokage was a veteran of countless battles. When he was caught off guard and unable to react in time, just as Yugen had anticipated, Yugen felt a sense of unease.

Looking back, weren't Yugen's previous wishful thinking and actions a bit too dismissive of the Third Hokage?

"Perhaps this is the real benefit for newbies..."

Yu Xian finally confirmed one thing: the events and characters in the instance contained ambiguous parts, and everything here was not a 100% "replication" of the event that happened more than ten years later.

In reality, could Yu Xian carry out such an assassination? The answer is crystal clear: he wouldn't even attempt it, because life is only once, and he couldn't afford the consequences of failure.

No, or rather, everything that happens in the instance is based on facts, but it will fluctuate up or down from that basis, with a very low lower limit but a very high upper limit.

Because at this moment, Yugen had already discovered what had "instantly killed" him—a semi-transparent phantom appeared directly above Naruto's swaddling clothes.

Although the other party was so ethereal that it had no expression at all, Yu Xian could still roughly confirm its identity through its outline.

"Asura?"

This thing even has the ability to "manifest" itself. You know, in the original work, probably only the Sage of Six Paths could see the chakra of his two sons.

This is just too strange. Was Naruto born to be the Ashura of this generation? Isn't that a bit too fatalistic?

Furthermore, Ashura was merely possessing Naruto's body; how could he possibly fight on his own? That would be a true reincarnation, not possession.

Indeed, the most likely explanation is that the copy "distorted" some of the facts, presenting them in a special way.

If Ashura really exists in the dungeon, then the most worthwhile enemy to kill here is neither the Fourth Hokage, the Nine-Tails, nor the White Snake Sage. It's obviously Ashura, in case he drops an "Otsutsuki Panel".

The most worthwhile subject of study is actually the "copy" itself, but as I said before, there are no clues about it at the moment.

However, just as Yu Xian guessed, besides the "Nine-Tailed Chaos", there is also the possibility of him entering a new instance.

At this moment, Yu Xian's mind, which was originally very active, suddenly got stuck and she was unable to engage in complex thought processes.

However, Yu Xian quickly realized what was going on. He was very familiar with this feeling; it meant he was about to die.

Yu Xian didn't know what had happened to him. He collapsed to the ground, his consciousness rapidly fading.

At the same time, his transformation magic was broken, revealing his true appearance.

"Who exactly is this person?"

Yu Xian opened his mouth, feeling he should leave some useful "last words" before departing, and so he said:

"The scarf I finally knitted... so painstakingly... shouldn't be thrown away... in the warehouse..."

This statement was so highly encrypted that no one present could understand it.

…………

Yu Xian woke up in the tent and subconsciously checked his body. Naturally, he was neither injured nor mutated.

Since he died in the dungeon, the cooldown time has been doubled. As for the so-called new dungeon, there is currently no indication of it.

Yugen was not in a hurry. Konoha Village still had great value, and it was impossible to complete the "exploration" of the entire ninja village in a short period of time.

If you want to make the most of them, it would be best to kill all the ninjas in Konoha; the sheer scale of that task is unimaginable.

Yu Xian sat up, then put his hands together, preparing to test the speed of his hand seals. He then discovered that his fingers were moving so fast that they left afterimages.

That's great! Mom no longer has to worry about Yu Xian competing with others in the speed of releasing those ninjutsu techniques that require forty-four hand seals.

In Yu Xian's understanding, skills like hand seal speed are icing on the cake, somewhat superficial, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

Conversely, what does a chakra value of 10+ actually represent?

Yu Xian felt that his chakra level had increased several times compared to before entering the dungeon. Although it was still not comparable to that of the tailed beasts, he basically didn't have to worry about running out of chakra anymore.

No, if he "mixes" chakra and natural energy during battle, he can actually "waste" ninjutsu.

"Perhaps I should abandon my melee frontline role and 'switch' to a noble backline mage..."

The "mage" thing was just a joke, of course. What Yu Xian meant was that he was transforming his role into a ninja-type ninja.

The ninja team also has a designated position; Yu Xian wanted to stand in the back row to deal damage.

There's nothing wrong with this idea; the only problem is that Yugen doesn't have a wide enough range of ninjutsu skills.

The Wind Release ninjutsu, which he was quite familiar with, was "sealed" and could not be used at will.

Just as Yu Xian was thinking this, a voice came from outside the tent.

"May I come inside?"

The voice was very distinctive, and Yu Xian immediately knew who was outside.

"Please come in, Lord Orochimaru."
