****************

*Ding!*

Seeing a notification float in front of him, Colt was startled.

Aside from the chakra and physical enhancements that were just basic rewards, he got 20 points, which he could earn from a day or two of work at the hospital. But the last reward made him jump up in excitement.

'Pure Ashura Chakra!'

As the sons of the Sage of Six Paths, Ashura and Indra had battled for millennia.

The two fought endlessly, even reincarnating their chakra to continue the conflict. So, whenever Ashura and Indra's chakra reincarnations appeared, a bloody storm would ravage the ninja world. Either the wind of Ashura would prevail, or Indra's winds.

This ancient rivalry had shaped the fate of countless generations, and now Colt was a part of that legacy.

The previous era's Ashura and Indra's reincarnations were the pinnacle!

With his Wood Release (Mokuton) and ninjutsu, Senju Hashirama defeated Uchiha Madara who was using the Nine-Tailed fox.

In the past, Ashura's reincarnations used Tailed Beast powers to battle Indra's.

Obtaining Ashura's chakra meant Colt could steadily become a ninja god in the future.

He checked the store price for Ashura Chakra - 15,000 points!

What a steal!

"Wow Colt, you can actually use ninjutsu now!"

Naruto's excited shout pulled Colt back from his dazed state.

Thanks to the Nine-Tails sealed within him, Naruto healed quickly. But never this fast - his wound vanished in two seconds!

"My only friend is so strong!"

Colt gave a gentle smile.

"I just became a medic-nin, Naruto. If you're injured in the future, come find me at the Konoha Hospital. I treat patients there every morning."

Naruto's eyes shone. "So cool! I've decided - I'll become the Hokage, and then I'll let you be the Hospital Director!"

Colt didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, then I'll wait for the day you become a Hokage."

"It's getting late, time for me to head home and train. Next time I'll treat you to a barbecue."

He waved goodbye to Naruto, who watched until Colt was out of sight before turning to leave.

'Colt, I'll make you proud!'

...

After parting with Naruto, Colt ran home as fast as possible.

What started as an ordinary day had turned extraordinary thanks to a whim.

"System, help me extract the pure Ashura Chakra."

Though not intelligent, the system was still very considerate. High-tier rewards like this could be extracted privately to avoid exposure. Most importantly, he obtained pure Ashura Chakra - just raw energy. In his past life, many debated whether Naruto's carefree, forgiving nature stemmed from Ashura's chakra influencing his personality. If so, Colt dared not merge with it directly. Fortunately, the system forced separation.

As soon as he spoke, Colt felt his chakra stimulated, rapidly increasing. Simultaneously, his cells began the deepest transformation so far. A very relaxed feeling came over his mind. His whole body brimmed with vitality, and even the fatigue from sprinting home vanished. He could feel his strength multiplying, and a newfound sense of power coursed through his veins.

[Chakra Natures: Wind, Lightning, Earth, Yang]

[Points: 103]

[Comments: Powerful body, amazing chakra, bright future ahead! But for now, no match for an experienced Chunin.]

Seeing his physical and chakra stats jump, Colt smiled again. Today's harvest was truly bountiful.

Even chakra amounts used the universal "Kakashi" unit of measurement. As everyone knew, the ninja world had two standard units - "Kakashi" for chakra, and "Asuma" for large sums of money. (E/N: Don't understand The Asuma one, if anyone does, please comment)

"This isn't Ashura Chakra's greatest effect."

Colt knew that surging chakra alone couldn't match Indra's lineage.

No matter how much chakra one had, lacking the ability to wield it made one a fool.

Ashura Chakra's biggest role was shaping a complete Sage Body. The Sage Body granted powerful self-healing plus great ninjutsu aptitude.

Just look at Hashirama - Tsunade's Creation Rebirth was simply his passive ability, and he could enter Sage Mode in seconds.

"I don't know when I'll get a chance to get Indra's chakra from Sasuke."

Human desire was insatiable. Just after rejoicing over the Sage Body, Colt already thought about acquiring the second piece. With Indra's chakra, he would not only possess immense power but also balance between the two legendary forces. This would make him truly invincible in the ninja world, a force to be reckoned with on both spiritual and physical planes.

But there was nothing he could do for now. With the Uchiha's strained relationship with the village, Sasuke rarely appeared in public, let alone allowed Colt to be close to him. He realized he'd have to wait until entering the Ninja Academy to interact with Sasuke properly. For now, growth was key so he could only focus on what was in front of him, there was no need to think that far ahead just yet.

He silently encouraged himself, then took out the Wind Style: Great Breakthrough scroll to study. Just looking at his status showed his ninjutsu skills were poor. Colt didn't want to be like Naruto – who used one jutsu for the whole show. He wanted a style as gorgeous and powerful as Uchiha Madara's. No matter how bad it got, he had to earn the title "Ninjutsu Master."

Though the Third Hokage shamelessly claimed to be the strongest Hokage ever, his "Five Release Great Combo Technique" did indeed look stylish and highly effective as far as he knew.

Colt aimed to surpass even that, mastering a wide array of Jutsus to ensure he could handle any situation with finesse and power. The path ahead was long, but Colt's determination was unwavering.
