Chapter 4 UmU! Becoming a Problem Child

After school, Kadoya, Minato, and Saiguu made their way toward Training Ground #7, walking side by side through the streets of Konoha.

Their unusual trio—a Uchiha, a Hyuga, and a commoner—didn't go unnoticed. Passing shinobi exchanged glances, some curious, others surprised. It wasn't every day that members of such different backgrounds hang out together.

Upon reaching their training ground, the three immediately got to work. They practiced Taijutsu, refining their footwork and strikes. They drilled their shuriken and kunai throws, pushing for greater accuracy.

At one point, Kadoya introduced them to a special breathing method. He called it a technique for controlling their breath during battle—nothing more. In truth, it was the foundation of his Hamon training.

Both Minato and Saiguu found it surprisingly useful, picking it up without question.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the ground, they finally wrapped up their session.

Exchanging tired but satisfied smiles, they bid each other farewell and headed home, ready to do it all again tomorrow.

...

Now sitting in his room Kadoya looks at his system screen.

Name: Kadoya Uchiha

Gender: Male

System Point: 2

Ninja Point: 252

Evil Point: 2845

Sharingan Level 0 (Locked)

Chakra Level 2 (214/1000)

Taijutsu Level 4 (162/2000)

Throwing Level 2 (122/1000)

Hand Seals Level 2 (77/1000)

Ninjutsu Level 1 (0/500)

Genjutsu Level 1 (0/500)

Hamon Level 2 (320/1000)

Kadoya exchanged 2500 Evil Points into 1 System Point, giving him 3 System Points, enough to fuel his gambling- I mean, Gacha addiction.

Congratulations! [New!] Sign Summoning Contract: Battle Bond: Greninja, [New!] Water Style: Bubble Creation Jutsu, [New!] Ice Attribute: Unlocked

JACKPOT!

Kadoya jumps off his seat with excitement. 

Finally getting something good from his Gacha.

Wind Attribute Level 0 (0/100)

Fire Attribute Level 0 (0/100)

Lightning Attribute Level 0 (0/100)

Water Attribute Level 0 (0/100)

Earth Attribute Level 0 (0/100)

Yang Attribute Level 0 (0/100)

Yin Attribute Level 0 (0/100)

Ice Attribute Level 0 (0/100)

He now has an affinity for using Ice Ninjutsu, which itself was like having the Kekkei Genkai: Ice Release from the Yuki Clan in the Village Hidden in The Mist.

"Later when I have extra points to spare, I could focus on practicing my Ice Release," Kadoya murmurs to himself with a smile before he begins forming hand seals.

"Water Style: Bubble Creation Jutsu!" 

Water Chakra gathers around his throat, similar to how one would perform the Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu, a stream of water bubbles came out from his mouth, flowing in a stream before floating into the air, and creating small pops, letting the water droplets fall to the ground.

Although this jutsu is weak, using little chakra while dealing barely to no damage. Training this jutsu meant training his Chakra, Hand Seal, Ninjutsu, and Water Attribute.

The growth was little, but still an improvement.

Before he just randomly practiced handseal without putting any Chakra into it. He trains his Chakra by trying to push it out and controlling it. His Ninjutsu level-up was due to him spending points on it.

Smiling Kadoya narrowed his gaze back toward his Summoning Contract, from his memory, Greninja is a Water Frog Ninja Pokemon, and now having a summoning contract with it, Kadoya wanted to summon his Battle Bond Greninja.

Biting his thumb, Kadoya began forming hand seals before slamming his palm on the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

A large pup of smoke appeared in front of him and a single PokeEgg appeared.

Kadoya: "..."

"Right, I forgot." He murmurs, realizing the stronger the summoning creature, the more Chakra he needs to use on it, with his Student Level Chakra, of course, Kadoya could only summon his 'Greninja' during its infancy, even before it could defend itself.

He quickly canceled his summoning contract and the egg disappeared, before falling to one knee feeling the effect of Chakra depletion.

Although Kadoya sometimes thought his growth might be too fast, causing suspicion and drawing unwanted attention toward him, but upon remembering the famous fifty-fifty Kakashi, who graduated at 5 and became a Chunin at 6. 

Kadoya found his growth is still quite slow.

Although he isn't a genius with a Kage-Level father who would later take his own life.

He has cheats!

He only understood the basics of the Three Body Technique but is still unable to perform them at a level where he could apply for early graduation.

Kadoya didn't want to graduate early, seeing how he finally made some friends, he wasn't willing to say goodbye to them so soon. Not to mention, by staying in the Ninja School, he could train safely while bullying children to earn points, which is way better than going to fight adults three times his size and far stronger than him.

That would be more like a loss than anything.

Dragging his tired body back into his house, Kadoya fell lazily onto his futon. His sister wasn't going to come home today due to a mission, so he quickly fell a sleep and let his body recover his strength.

...

Soon a month flew by now everyone in Kadoya's class had gotten a taste of his fist, even Minato wasn't spare. But what annoyed him was that now everyone avoided him except for Minato, Saiguu, and his deskmate Shikaku.

During the sparring match, Minato and Saiguu weren't offended by him anymore and could actually put up a decent fight which earned him a good amount of Ninja Points but not Evil Points.

Apparently, messing with your friend doesn't count as doing something bad, leading to him being unable to farm Evil Points from them.

While the final unfortunate classmate who gets chosen to spar with him, surrenders even before Kadoya can knock out one of their teeth.

Combined with the added Training he has with Minato and Saiguu, Kadoya's strength and Ninja Points still continue to grow while his Evil Points have stopped.

"This isn't good." He murmurs, his gaze locking on to the points in his system.

Ninja Point: 0

Evil Point: 1728

Chakra Level 3 (492/1500)

Taijutsu Level 4 (1462/2000)

Throwing Level 2 (682/1000)

Hand Seals Level 2 (402/1000)

Ninjutsu Level 2 (404/1000)

Genjutsu Level 1 (0/500)

Hamon Level 3 (20/1500)

Water Attribute Level 1 (134/500)

His stats had greatly improved from the last month, but now, with most students avoiding him in sparring matches, farming Evil Points has become harder.

'Should I resort to pranking my classmate? Nah, that won't fit the image of an Uchiha, and besides my harmless prank might be misunderstood as bullying.'

He thought, finding his current lack of ways to farm Evil Points troublesome.

Although it was only over a month since joining the Ninja School, Kadoya's growth could only let him bully kids his age, fighting someone stronger might get his ass kicked.

Kadoya sighed, his gaze drifting toward the outside world. The trees swayed gently in the breeze, their leaves rustling softly under the warmth of the golden sunlight. Birds soared through the sky, their wings spread wide as they glided effortlessly, unburdened by the weight of the world below.

They looked so… free.

Freedom.

A concept almost foreign in this world. True freedom was an illusion, especially for a shinobi. Those who refused to join a Ninja Village were nothing more than prey—easy pickings for the strong. And those who lived within the villages? They were shackled by the weight of politics, clan disputes, and internal struggles.

The harsh reality was clear. A civilian's chance of reaching Jonin level was almost nonexistent. The once-great Senju Clan had dwindled to near extinction. The Uchiha were distrusted, pushed to the fringes of the village due to the Second Hokage's machinations. The Hyuga were fractured by their oppressive main and branch family system.

And those were just the obvious examples. Beneath the surface, Konoha was a web of factions, alliances, and hidden agendas, all vying for control. Unity was an illusion. The village operated under a fragile peace, but Kadoya knew better—true unity would never be achieved in this system.

"Psst, Minato."

Minato tilted his head back, glancing at his friend with mild curiosity.

"Let's skip class."

Kadoya's words made Minato's eyes widen. He quickly shook his head, silently rejecting the idea.

Kadoya merely shrugged before casually raising his hand.

"Teach, can I go to the bathroom?"

Ms. Mayabi barely glanced at him before nodding, continuing her lecture without much thought.

As Kadoya stood up, he tossed his only notebook onto Minato's desk.

"Hold onto this for me."

And with that, he walked out of the classroom.

Minutes passed. Then more.

Yet, Kadoya never returned.

Minato shifted uncomfortably in his seat, sneaking glances at the door. Surely, Kadoya hadn't actually skipped, right? Maybe he was just, uh... stuck in the bathroom?

Yeah, that had to be it.

But then, a troubling realization struck him.

Every other student had brought backpacks filled with books and school supplies. But Kadoya?

Minato glanced down at the notebook in his hands.

Kadoya only ever brought this notebook and a single pen.

Wait… Minato's eyes twitched as another memory resurfaced.

He doesn't even own a pen! He was using mine!

A wave of horror washed over Minato as the truth set in.

Not only had Kadoya successfully skipped class, but he had also—very deliberately—left his only possession to his friend… effectively turning Minato into his unwitting accomplice.

Minato: "..."

That bastard.

Congratulations! Quest Complete: "School Accomplice: Act 1"

Reward: +1000 Evil Points

"Damn, I didn't know tricking Minato into helping me skip class would be a hidden quest." Kadoya murmurs with a smirk, walking through the streets of Konoha with a carefree expression

...

As soon as the school day ended, Minato and Saiguu stormed into Training Ground #7, their faces set in anger.

The moment they spotted Kadoya lounging around as if nothing had happened, they wasted no time.

"Kadoya, you jerk!" Saiguu shouted, throwing a punch straight at his head.

Kadoya barely reacted, effortlessly tilting his head to the side. Her fist sailed past him, grazing his hair.

"Kadoya, you shouldn't skip class like that," Minato scolded, his voice filled with both disappointment and irritation. "You do realize that you made me an accomplice, right?"

Kadoya smirked, completely unfazed. "Oh, c'mon, you were a great help, Minato. How about I teach you my Bubble Creation Jutsu as thanks?"

Minato deadpanned.

Kadoya's Bubble Creation Jutsu.

He had seen it in action. Everyone had.

And the best it could do was... get someone wet.

Even the Fireball Jutsu—famous for never actually killing anyone—was more threatening than that.

"No thanks." Minato refused immediately. There was no way he was using bubbles in battle.

Saiguu chuckled at their exchange. Kadoya Uchiha was different from the rest of his clan. Unlike other Uchiha, who clung to their bloodline and name to fuel their arrogance, Kadoya's confidence came from his actual strength.

And while he was still a cocky jerk at times, he did respect those he genuinely acknowledged.

She didn't mind it. After all, everyone had their quirks. She herself had a fiery, borderline sadistic streak, sometimes enjoying watching others struggle. Meanwhile, Minato, despite his gentle and kind nature, had a quiet ruthlessness—when he disliked someone, he didn't say anything. He simply crushed them in sparring later.

Everyone had their good and bad sides. What mattered was whether they could accept them.

With that thought, they moved on, continuing their usual training.

As the sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, the three exchanged farewells and went their separate ways, heading home for the night.

...

Congratulations! Title Unlocked: [The Problem Child II]

Reward: + 1 System Points + 500 Evil Points + 500 Ninja Points

"Umu! Becoming a Problem Child does have its benefits," Kadoya murmurs to himself with a smug smile.

In the original story Naruto, in the early part, trains himself by pulling pranks and becoming a problem child, although his goal was to simply gain some attention, doing all of that and being chased around by Chunin Level Ninja did improve his Ninja Skill.

Kadoya quickly exchanged his Evil Points for System Points before falling back to his Gacha addiction.

Congratulations! [New!] The Alter's Ahoge, [New!] Psychic Plate

Condition Unlocked: Accessories Slots

!!?

Kadoya narrowed his gaze toward his system, now his image had appeared on the interface similar to Minecraft when you open your inventory and see your character.

Besides his avatar, there are seven empty slots in which he can place his new items, equipping himself with the item he just collected.

[The Alter's Ahoge] - Once equipped, the user would gain an ahoge on top of their head matching their hair color, the ahoge can help repress the user's stress level, but upon pulling it out, the user will fall into a semi-Berserker, state their stats double, the time limit is base on the user build up stress level, once the stress level reaches zero, the ahoge will grow back and the user will return to normal and fall into a weakened state for five minutes.

"Damn, now I just need to dye my hair blonde, and dress in a blue knight dress while holding a golden sword, I can start calling myself Saber." Kadoya jokes, equipping his ahoge, and a single black ahoge appears on top of his head.

He then narrowed his gaze toward his other item, the Psychic Plate. It's a powerful item that increases the holder's psychic power but...

"I'm not a Pokemon! And there aren't any Psychic Release in Naruto goddamn it!"

Kadoya nearly throws the stone plate away in anger, but upon remembering he is holding a legendary item, he decides to calm down. Although he couldn't use it, making this legendary item into nothing but a heavy stone plate in his hands, that didn't mean he couldn't unlock a Psychic Release in the future.

So Kadoya reluctantly put it into his inventory.
