Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

Kakashi, maintaining his expressionless face, glanced at his empty wallet, then at Furukawa Osamu distributing drinks on the other side, and gave a somewhat reluctant, simple reply:

"Because he can sense our location."

"This is cheating!"

Upon hearing his friend's complaints, Ebisu adjusted his sunglasses, adopting a proud demeanor, and responded confidently:

"Ninjas are supposed to cheat; it's a kind of 'privilege' of geniuses."

"You always end up getting rescued, isn't that something Xiu should say?"

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu got up and started arguing loudly.

Ignoring their childish behavior, Kakashi moved closer to Furukawa Osamu and together they looked at Might Guy on the playground, whispering:

"You can definitely sense my chakra!"

"Who told you to hide in the top of the nearest tree..."

After playing "games" all afternoon, Osamu Furukawa subconsciously made a sarcastic remark.

The silver-haired boy was too competitive, which prolonged the game time, and in the end it was just the two of them "fighting".

"Next time, I'll definitely rescue more teammates than you!"

Upon hearing Kakashi's serious declaration, Furukawa Osamu almost lost his composure. If he remembered correctly, the other man hadn't played these childish games when they first met two months ago.

Ebisu, who had followed, saw Might Guy collapsed on the ground in the playground and said with great sympathy:

"I remember that his ninjutsu and genjutsu were not good, only his athletic ability was passable."

"There's no need to exhaust yourself like this."

Genma Shiranui sighed in agreement. Hearing the two begin gossiping in hushed tones, Kakashi recalled the scene of meeting Might Guy and his son at the school gate after the entrance exam, and a question arose in his mind:

"Is this the rival Father was talking about? This guy still hasn't shown any outstanding talent."

Falling down and getting up repeatedly, Kakashi grew bored after watching for a while. Among his peers, he still believed that only Osamu Furukawa was his true rival.

Having gathered a great deal of "intelligence" before enrolling, Kakashi trusted his judgment, temporarily forgetting his father's words, and waved goodbye.

"It's getting late, bye-bye!"

"bye!"

As Genma Shiranui and Ebisu bid each other farewell with smiles, Osamu Furukawa noticed that Might Guy hadn't gotten up for a long time. He went over to him and offered him a drink, saying:

"Impressive physical fitness! You're on the treat today, so don't be shy!"

"I'm already 5 years old, but I can't even walk 500 laps around the track... I've let my dad down..."

After finishing his drink, Might Guy stood up and choked up, whispering. Furukawa Osamu wanted to offer him some "chicken soup for the soul," but a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"Kai, you idiot!"

Might Guy, yelling, punched his son, sending him flying. Osamu Furukawa, who had dodged the attack, saw this and his lips twitched slightly.

"Don't shed tears for your efforts; you've just used the wrong methods of self-discipline!"

With tears streaming down his face, Matt Day started a "father-son mini-lesson," and the two shouted passionately from time to time. In the end, they hugged each other and cried together.

Feeling incredibly awkward, Furukawa Osamu tried to slip away quietly, but the father and son suddenly appeared beside him. After quickly bowing, they immediately gave him a thumbs-up and loudly proclaimed:

Thank you for your continued support!

"Kai, you've gained friendship through your own efforts; that's what youth is all about!"

After the father and son embraced again, tears welled up and soaked part of their bodysuits. Furukawa Osamu pretended not to see them, nodded in acknowledgment, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Walking home, he occasionally greeted familiar shopkeepers. Reflecting on his failed attempt that day, Furukawa Osamu sighed helplessly to himself:

"As expected, he doesn't have the talent for 'talking his way out'!"

Late at night, Matt Kai, who was having trouble sleeping because he was worried about the supplementary enrollment list, noticed that his father was also awake. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously asked:

"Dad, is it really impossible to become an excellent ninja without ninjutsu talent?"

"Kai, your youth has just begun. You shouldn't back down in your youth. Hard work will definitely pay off."

Hearing the encouragement, Matt Kai fell silent. Although he always appeared confident in public, he knew his father's situation, and tears welled up in his eyes again as he silently made a wish:

"I wish I also had outstanding ninjutsu talent."

-

The last day of March in Konoha Year 42.

"Xiu, I really want to see you grow up healthy..."

"I don't want to die, Xiu. I want to see you again."

Startled awake, Osamu Furukawa instinctively covered his forehead, the sight of the two people lying in a pool of blood in his dream causing him to gasp for breath.

Noticing that it was not yet 6 o'clock, Osamu Furukawa looked at the photo frame next to his bed.

In the photo, the young couple, Ichiro and Aoi, are only 22 years old. They are hugging a child and their smiles are radiant, their happiness is palpable.

Since the two sacrificed themselves in the early January mission, Furukawa Osamu triggered his "talent" in a somewhat hellish way and completed his first [gathering].

"Aoi, Lord Sakumo will recommend me to become a Jonin after this mission is over! I can earn more money in the future."

"How about it, Xiu? This is the Shadow Clone Technique, haha. Usually, only Jonin can master this B-rank ninjutsu!"

"As expected of my child, he loves reading even at such a young age. He will surely bring prosperity to the Furukawa family in the future..."

"After I have more savings, I want to find a job in the medical field so I can watch Xiu grow up with peace of mind."

"What an adorable child! He's even embarrassed at home!"

The nightmare caused Furukawa Osamu to involuntarily recall his memories of coming to this world as he woke up, and the warm images that surged up only gradually dissipated when he sat down at the dining table.

Milk, fried eggs, and sandwiches—he ate his breakfast in silence, his thoughts wandering. Suddenly, he recalled a scene from an anime from his previous life, and he chuckled to himself:

"Is this some kind of alternative 'Tsukuyomi'? A replica of Sasuke Uchiha's experience."

After finishing breakfast alone, Osamu Furukawa began his routine summary of his "cheat codes" in his notebook. Over the past three months, he had basically figured out some of their functions:

"It has been confirmed that the only remaining capability of the XX World Nostalgic Web Game is data collection."

"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to collect from living people? After collection, you will gain some ninjutsu knowledge and training experience, which can quickly improve yourself."

"After collection, it was confirmed that it would enhance mental strength and increase the range of perception, but the side effects were very obvious."

"We can collect plants, but the 'essential' components are uncertain and require experimentation?"

"Bloodline limit collection?"

"The essence of data collection?"

Using Chinese characters to complete his daily summary, Osamu Furukawa subconsciously twirled the pencil in his hand, trying hard to recall the anime series he had watched on Star TV and Youku in his previous life:

"I should have known better than to skip those memories!"

When I was young, I only cared about the storylines involving Naruto and Sasuke.

After starting work, I graduated from the world of anime and manga.

By the time I turned 30, I was completely addicted to electronic games and all I wanted to do was play idle games.

Still unable to glean any useful information for this particular point in time, after burning the original paper records, Osamu Furukawa continued to peruse the scrolls and records left at home:

Rank B - Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall.

Rank B - Water Escape: Water Formation Wall.

Rank C - Earth Escape: Return of Earth to the Land

Rank C - Water Escape: Water Chaos Waves

Rank D - Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique

In addition to these detailed records of ninjutsu, there are also insights into Lightning Release: Earth Walk, Shadow Clone Technique, Nature Transformation, and Form Transformation.

Osamu Furukawa has already mastered the basics of C-rank ninjutsu, and D-rank basic ninjutsu is a piece of cake for him.

Somewhat different from the original memory, commoner ninjas don't have that many techniques.

Ichiro, who seems to be qualified to be promoted to Jonin, excels more in taijutsu, shuriken, and mission performance. He has only mastered water and earth nature transformations and is more skilled in auxiliary defensive ninjutsu.

"Chakra is truly a wondrous energy!"

Although ordinary ninjas cannot store chakra, it can be extracted as a bodily instinct, allowing children to perform feats such as scaling walls and leaping across rooftops.

Perhaps because he absorbed the "collected results," Furukawa Shun could clearly feel his own growth, and his body was gradually turning the experience and insights he had gained into instinctive reactions.

Tomorrow, the Ninja Academy will officially begin its term. With a grander goal in mind, Osamu Furukawa begins to formulate some plans:

"Possessing the three attributes of water, earth, and lightning, if he can successfully learn medical ninjutsu, entering Konoha Hospital might save him training time."

Before leaving, after putting on his clothes and protective gear, Furukawa Osamu looked at the photo frame again, thinking about the dreams of the past few months, and sighed softly:

"I will live a wonderful life; life shouldn't be so fragile."

-

The ninja academy is lined with blooming cherry blossoms.

The father and son, dressed in green bodysuits, who had been waiting in front of the notice board, hugged each other and cried tears of joy when they saw the name "Matt Kai" appear.

The parents who had been watching the supplementary list all took a step back when they saw this scene. Matt Daly, beaming with pride, knelt down, placed his hands on his son's shoulders, and loudly instructed him:

“Kai, the fact that you don’t have ninjutsu talent is something to be happy about in my opinion.”

"Knowing your weaknesses allows you to make your strengths shine. Your physical skills are already beginning to take off!"

Seeing his father's confident smile and thumbs-up, Might Guy nodded repeatedly. Having successfully entered the Ninja Academy, the boy felt much more confident and shouted to himself:

"I will try my best. As long as I complete 500 laps around the track, I will challenge Shu and Kakashi!"

"That's what youth is all about, Kai!"

Chapter 3: Early Romance is Harmful...

On the first day of April in Konoha Year 42, the Ninja Academy officially opened.

At the entrance ceremony, in addition to the Chunin who would be teaching the students for the next few years making their statements, the Third Hokage also appeared in front of everyone at the right time.

"...The Third Hokage is known as the 'Professor,' and is currently the man standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world!"

At this moment, a fanatical look appeared in the eyes of Chunin instructor Ryosuke Kimura, and when he raised his voice to introduce the topic, he proudly puffed out his chest.

"Wow!"

The first-year students sitting in rows on the rooftop couldn't help but look up and exclaim in amazement. Against the backdrop of the huge Shadow Rock behind him, the Third Hokage exuded an aura of power.

"Alright, Ryosuke, standing at the top is a bit of an exaggeration!"

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never die; the future belongs to these young children."

"Yes!"

Hearing the Chunin instructors' unanimous response, the Third Hokage nodded in satisfaction, then removed his Hokage hat, revealing a kind and amiable smile as he began to introduce himself:

"I am the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi..."

"..."

As the Hokage began his routine lectures, some perceptive teenagers turned their attention to Sarutobi Asuma, the Hokage's son, a remarkable identity in the eyes of many!

Seemingly sensing the attention around him, Sarutobi Asuma lowered his head and scoffed, showing no reverence on his face, deliberately turning his head away from his father.

The rebellious teenager attracted Kurenai's attention. Seemingly noticing the girl's gaze, Asuma instinctively tried to look cool and whispered:

"He's just an old man who's too busy with work to take care of his family."

As the presentation ended, Osamu Furukawa, standing at the back of the crowd, joined the boys in applause and cheers. Ninja academies also have history and politics-like courses, and the Will of Fire needs to be instilled from a young age.

At the teacher's call, the students chatted and laughed as they returned to their classrooms.

Next came the self-introductions, and most students had high expectations for their future life at the ninja academy.

"They say we're allowed to graduate early, so we can start learning higher-level courses sooner!"

When Ebisu mentioned this news, he looked at Kakashi and Furukawa Osamu in front of him, eager to witness the rise of a genius.

"I aim to complete my studies within three years and become a qualified ninja!"
