A full hundred evil points!
This caught Naruto slightly by surprise.
One hundred evil points were equivalent to a hundred months of simulated training time, which was eight years.
He hadn't expected such a harvest just from bullying Hinata a little.
The key was that it didn't end there.
What he cared about even more was the lottery chance given by the system.
For him right now, what he needed wasn't training time, but Ninjutsu—powerful Ninjutsu!
Jiraiya hadn't appeared yet, and the Rasengan hadn't shown up either.
What use was having a massive amount of Chakra for nothing?
Wouldn't he still be stuck relying on Shadow Clones to brute-force everything and engaging in close-quarters combat?
Moreover, he wasn't a forbidden jutsu inventor like the Second Hokage, nor did he have much talent for Ninjutsu.
He couldn't just hope to figure out things like the Rasengan on his own during the simulated training, right?
"Start the lottery!"
There was no hesitation.
As the thought arose, a semi-transparent light screen appeared before Naruto's eyes.
Immediately, it began to change at high speed.
Information on various Ninjutsu, ninja tools, and Kekkei Genkai flashed by.
Until finally.
The light screen slowly came to a stop on a massive scroll.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for winning an S-rank Ninjutsu—the Flying Thunder God Technique scroll!]
"Oh? Not bad."
Hearing the system prompt, Naruto felt a bit of joy.
Flying Thunder God Technique—
This was an S-rank Space-Time Ninjutsu invented by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
Later, it was made famous by his father, the Fourth Hokage.
The user could leave their Flying Thunder God Marking in various places.
Then, within a certain range, they could teleport to different markings, achieving instantaneous movement.
More importantly, the Flying Thunder God Marking could not be removed.
Once an opponent was touched once and marked with the Flying Thunder God Marking, there would be countless opportunities to get close again.
In his past life on the internet, there was a very popular discussion thread.
[In the Naruto world-view, what is the theoretical strongest combat power?]
Among them, the three "Phantom Gods" in the top tier were:
Go-Home Minato, Telescope Itachi, and Mosquito Hidan.
That is, first placing a Flying Thunder God Marking on the enemy, then placing one in your own home.
When you sleep, give you a stab; when you eat, give you a stab; when you go to the toilet, give you a stab.
Go home after the hit; even if you can't kill them, you can wear them down to death.
Once he mastered the Flying Thunder God, self-preservation would no longer be an issue, at least in the upcoming Chunin Exams.
With a loud "Poof!"
A giant scroll appeared out of thin air and landed on the bed.
Naruto immediately broke the seal and began to read.
After a moment... "Complex, it's just too complex."
He felt his head throbbing.
The scroll recorded every step and various requirements for practicing the Flying Thunder God in detail.
No wonder in the original story, only those two monstrous geniuses, the Second and Fourth Hokage, truly mastered this Ninjutsu.
But that didn't matter.
After all, he was the hard-working genius type, wasn't he?
"System, consume evil points and start simulation!"
Naruto didn't believe that spending over eight years of simulation time wouldn't allow him to learn this forbidden jutsu.
Buzz!
The light screen emerged.
Accompanied by the consumption of evil points, a virtual mini-me, looking exactly like him, appeared on the screen.
At first, the little person was a bit lost, looking around the environment.
But soon, his gaze became determined.
Only one thought remained in his mind:
"I want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, I want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, I want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique!!!"
Strings of text followed.
[Simulation begins]
[It took you a whole month to finally realize the exquisite principles of the Flying Thunder God Technique]
[However, you also realized that in your current state, wanting to master this forbidden jutsu is far from enough]
[Although your Chakra volume is sufficient, your Chakra control precision, sensory ability, and physical fitness are far from meeting the basic threshold for practicing this forbidden jutsu]
[So you recalled what you learned in the Ninja Academy and the training methods Kakashi taught you, and began practicing]
[...]
[100 months passed]
[Finally, through more than 8 years of tireless practice, your Chakra control and sensory abilities reached a level far exceeding that of an average Elite Jonin]
[It can be said that looking across the entire Ninja World, except for a few old-timers, no one understands Chakra better than you]
[At the same time, your Taijutsu approached Jonin level, meeting the basic conditions for practicing the Flying Thunder God]
[You are just one step away from mastering the Flying Thunder God]
[You know very well that you only need a few more months]
[But unfortunately, the training time has run out]
[This simulation consumed a total of 100 evil points. Simulation ended, settlement in progress...]
"Damn, I spent eight years and still couldn't learn it??"
Naruto raged impotently in his heart.
Meanwhile, the rewards from the simulation settlement arrived.
In the next second, countless insights, realizations, and experiences flooded into his mind.
At the same time, his body began to change.
Muscles and bones began to transform; this was the result of practicing Taijutsu.
In just a short moment, Naruto clearly realized—his overall strength had jumped from the original Genin level to a level sufficient to face an ordinary Jonin head-on.
"It's still not enough..."
Although his current strength was enough to crush the Konoha Twelve Genin, there was still a gap compared to Gaara, Cursed Seal Sasuke, and Kimimaro.
After all, he was working behind closed doors in the simulation space.
Compared to the speed of progress while training with Jiraiya in the original story, it was still too slow.
"So frustrating, just a little bit more and I would've learned the Flying Thunder God."
This feeling of being cut off right at the finish line made him even more uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, the evil points were all used up.
He couldn't just go and fleece Hinata again, could he?
Then, a simple thought popped up.
"Can't I just go out on the street, find someone to beat up, and collect some protection money?"
Anyway, he would be the one carrying the banner of the Ninja World in the future.
He couldn't rely on the Konoha Twelve Genin to save the world, could he?
In that case, for him to learn the Flying Thunder God tonight, what would a little sacrifice matter?
No sooner said than done!
Thinking of this, Naruto leaped from the bed, got dressed, and prepared to head out.
But before that, he needed to do a bit of disguising.
With his improved sensory abilities, he could now clearly sense two groups of people watching him.
One group was the Anbu directly under Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The other group was the Root directly under Danzo.
After all, nothing could be allowed to go wrong with his status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
However, perhaps because no accidents had occurred for so many years, both sides had relaxed their vigilance.
The two groups currently watching him only had Chunin-level strength.
Hiding from their eyes would be incredibly easy... Meanwhile.
Hinata had just come out of Naruto's apartment when she encountered a familiar face.
Hyuga Neji.
The latter had an indifferent face and said coldly, "Too slow. The Clan Head has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Eh?"
Neji suddenly noticed that Hinata's appearance seemed a bit different from when she first entered the apartment.
The young girl's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried.
He subconsciously wanted to ask, "What's wrong?"
But on second thought, remembering his own status, he swallowed the words back down.
"It seems she was bullied by that Dead Last blonde kid."
"But what does that have to do with me?"
"Tch, the dignified heir of the Hyuga Clan is actually so weak."
Neji thought to himself, and soon, he smiled with a sense of resignation.
"A weak princess and a useless loser, these two... are truly a perfect match."
After returning to the Hyuga Clan.
Hinata hurriedly had dinner with her family and returned to her room.
Her sister Hanabi noticed her abnormality and curiously leaned over.
"What's wrong, Sister?"
"Um, I'm fine."
Hinata tried to act calm, but the scene from earlier that evening in her mind just wouldn't go away.
"Naruto-kun was really too much. Am I really going to be a mother soon..."
Thinking of this, her tears almost fell again.
"But I'm not ready at all!"
"Will it be a boy or a girl? If the child is born, what should we name them?"
"Uzumaki... ugh, forget it, I won't think about it for now!"
