Chapter 3: Crossdresser
Uchiha Chen rubbed the muscles on his legs.
A look of surprise appeared on his young, tender face.
The moment he unleashed the power in his legs, that powerful force was unprecedented.
Caught off guard, it left him in such a sorry state.
"This strength and speed are far beyond what I had before..."
He felt like he could beat his previous self ten times over.
He didn't expect his previous self to be such a noob.
He even thought he was pretty good before.
Is this truly one of the Three Great Illusions of the Ninja World?
Uchiha Chen assessed in his mind that his taijutsu before might only be considered average among his peers.
But the taijutsu just now, with the instantaneous boost from chakra, was much faster than before.
The taijutsu he just used was from a scroll left by Uchiha Kagami.
He had been practicing it, but the results weren't great.
It had always been difficult for him to use.
Before, each time he could only move less than two or three meters and it would exhaust all his strength.
But this time, the distance not only more than doubled, but the speed was also incomparable.
More importantly, although Uchiha Chen felt his body was filled with fatigue, he didn't have the usual feeling of complete exhaustion, meaning that even like this, he seemed to not have used his full strength yet.
Just one upgrade, and his taijutsu had a qualitative leap?
The pain in his body gradually lessened, and Uchiha Chen slowly got up, patted the dust off himself, and a look of joy appeared in his black pupils.
"Let's try again!"
But this time, he didn't dare to continue causing destruction in his room.
He didn't have much property to begin with, what would happen if he broke other bottles and jars?
Immediately, he turned around, walked out the door, and came to the open space in the courtyard.
He once again began to condense chakra in his calves, but this time he deliberately controlled the power in his legs, so he didn't lose control like before.
But having just consumed a lot of stamina, he only moved less than three meters this time.
"Still not enough stamina..."
Uchiha Chen murmured, this was still too far from the effect described in the scroll.
Moreover, he needed to train again to adapt to his strength.
As a ninja, if you can't control your strength and stamina in battle, you are very likely to lose your life.
Afterwards, he performed another movement, which was slightly better than before, and after this time, the chakra in his body was also almost completely depleted.
'Host trained diligently, Ninja Points +1.
Remaining Ninja Points 890 points.'
Hearing the mechanical voice beside his ear, Uchiha Chen surprisingly revealed a joyful smile.
Indeed, points are art.
After resting for a while, Uchiha Chen got up and returned to the room.
He still had to report to the Ninja Academy tomorrow, so naturally, he couldn't stay here experimenting all night.
He needed to save up his stamina properly.
...
'Pfft... So hungry.'
Uchiha Chen felt his stomach suddenly become very hungry.
As expected, the consumption was still too great.
Luckily, there was still some instant ramen in the fridge.
It seems I'll become Naruto sooner or later.
...
While Uchiha Chen was eating instant ramen, the system suddenly sent a congratulatory message to his ear: "Congratulations, Host, for completing a single attribute upgrade on the first day.
You are one step closer to becoming the strongest ninja on this planet!"
"May the Host continue to work hard and forge ahead bravely.
A new mission is now being released."
"New Mission: Requires the Host to upgrade at least one of the thirteen attributes unlocked today to Level 8 before graduating from the Ninja Academy."
"Completing the mission will result in generous rewards.
Failing the mission will result in punishment: forcibly resetting all of the Host's attribute levels to zero and clearing the remaining Ninja Points."
"In addition, the Host will enter a feminized state, be forced to wear women's clothing, and this will last for 6 months."
"Good luck to you."
Uchiha Chen was shocked, almost spitting out the instant ramen he was just eating.
"Holy crap, Level 8, Chunin level!
Why don't you just kill me?
You want me to reach Chunin level before graduating from the Ninja Academy, isn't that too difficult?!"
"And the punishment is especially cruel, you cross-dressing master.'"
'I want to ask, were Naruto and Konohamaru also possessed by you?'"
...
You should know that upgrading from Level 0 (Scrub level) to Level 1 (Entry level) requires 100 Ninja Points.
Upgrading from Level 1 to Level 2 requires 500 Ninja Points.
Levels 2~4 are all considered Student level.
Upgrading from Level 2 to 3 requires 1000 Ninja Points.
Upgrading from Level 3 to 4 requires 2000 Ninja Points.
Upgrading from Level 4 to 5 requires 4000 Ninja Points.
Upgrading from Level 5 to 6 requires 6000 Ninja Points.
Upgrading from Level 6 to 7 requires 9000 Ninja Points.
Upgrading from Level 7 to 8 requires 12000 Ninja Points.
The pattern is quite clear: the higher the level, the more Ninja Points are required for upgrading.
Level 8 belongs to the Chunin level.
This level is not just about knowing a few ninjutsu.
It's an existence that can serve as a team leader.
Uchiha Chen calculated with his fingers that his highest-level attribute currently was Taijutsu.
Taijutsu is Level 3, and upgrading to Level 8 requires a total of 33000 Ninja Points.
He would normally graduate at the age of ten.
Now he's only accumulated 2000 in one year.
The time to complete the mission is five years, to upgrade from an ordinary Ninja Academy student level to a Chunin level.
Furthermore, Uchiha Chen couldn't just add points to Taijutsu.
He wasn't Might Guy.
In this era, if you only knew taijutsu, there was no future.
It was impossible to be taken seriously by others.
Uchiha Chen worked diligently and ran all night, getting 10 Ninja Points.
To get 33000 Ninja Points, how many years of continuous training would that require?
This was almost an impossible mission to complete.
Could it be that from now on he would unlock the title of "Eternal Genin"?
This title was the darkest title in history.
Uchiha Chen protested: "Hey, System, I can't complete your new mission at all, change it to something simpler!"
System: "The mission cannot be changed.
It is recommended that the Host continue to upgrade the attribute with the highest current level and take things one step at a time."
"Uh, I've fallen into a pit."
There was nothing else to think about.
Taijutsu was already Level 3, which was enough to cope with for now.
Uchiha Chen looked at the information in his system, which had changed to:
Host: Uchiha Chen
Land of Fire
Age: 5
Overall Strength Index: An existence among the top students.
Chakra: Level 2 (0 / 1000)
Taijutsu: Level 3 (0 / 2000)
Shurikenjutsu: Level 2 (0 / 1000)
Hand Seals: Level 2 (0 / 1000)
Ninjutsu: Level 0 (0 / 100)
Genjutsu: Level 0 (0 / 100)
Wind Affinity: Level 0 (0 / 100)

Lightning Affinity: Level 0 (0 / 100)
Water Affinity: Level 0 (0 / 100)
Earth Affinity: Level 0 (0 / 100)
Yang Affinity: Level 0 (0 / 100)
Yin Affinity: Level 0 (0 / 100)
Remaining Ninja Points: 890 points
He planned to keep the remaining 890 for backup.
These points would be useful at critical moments.
What if he urgently needed to add points to a certain attribute?
Uchiha Chen tidied up the room and finally lay down on the bed.
In his dream, he saw himself defeating the Five Kage, then defeating Madara and Kaguya, and finally becoming the strongest in the ninja world.
Then, he was wearing women's clothing...
