Name: Uzumaki Akio
Age: 47 (-) 49
Ninjutsu: 69 (+) Taijutsu: 89 (+) Techniques: 1003 (+) 19
Basic Three Techniques:
LV10 (100000) (Max Level)
Shuriken Throwing Technique:
LV10 (100000) (Max Level)
Earth Affinity: LV2 (16998/20000) (+) Wind Affinity: LV3 (85522/100000) (+) Fire Affinity: LV2 (14493/20000) (+)
Special Talent: Sensory Perception
Overall Evaluation: Standard Jōnin
Witness Points: 204
As expected, it wasn't an illusion. Akio glanced at his status panel and noticed an increase of 20 Witness Points. Additionally, aside from his age, all other attributes had a plus sign next to them, resembling the leveling system of a low-tier RPG.
"Witness and participate in major events of the Naruto world... Hah, these past two days have been full of surprises. First, I can adjust my age, and now there's a point-based training system."
"But damn this system, why doesn't it come with a manual?! It's been 48 years! 48 years!"
Still, it wasn't too late. The major events of the Naruto world mostly happened after the Warring States period—the founding of Konoha, the Battle of the Valley of the End, the First to Fourth Great Ninja Wars... I can witness them all firsthand. As for the ones I missed, does Hashirama and Madara's birth count as two events?
"Enough thinking. Let's see how these Witness Points work. If they function as I imagine, I've struck gold."
Akio focused and experimentally tapped the plus sign next to his Taijutsu.
Taijutsu: 90 (+)
Akio felt a slight surge in his physical strength. As expected, he could allocate points directly. What about Ninjutsu? Hopefully, it isn't just a single-point increase. He cautiously tapped the plus sign next to Earth Affinity, and it upgraded to:
Earth Affinity: LV3 (26998/100000) (+)
Ten thousand points?! This is incredible!
After some thought, Akio tapped Wind Affinity twice and Fire Affinity once, raising each by one level.
He then noticed another change—his Ninjutsu stat had increased by 28 points, reaching 97.
As I suspected, increasing attributes has a ripple effect.
In that case… Akio immediately tapped the minus sign next to his age eleven times, reducing it to 36 years old. As anticipated, his Taijutsu surged past 100, reaching 102.
At this age, my Taijutsu is at its peak. So, decreasing my age boosts my physical abilities... but if I lower it further, will my stats drop again? That's an experiment for another time.
After glancing at his status panel, he allocated three of his remaining four Witness Points into Ninjutsu, saving the last one for emergencies. This further improved his Earth, Wind, and Fire Affinities.
At this point, Akio's status panel looked like this:
Name: Uzumaki Akio
Age: 36 (-) 52
Ninjutsu: 100 (+) Taijutsu: 102 (+) Techniques: 1003 (+) 15
Basic Three Techniques: LV10 (100000) (Max Level)
Shuriken Throwing Technique: LV10 (100000) (Max Level)
Earth Affinity: LV3 (27286/100000) (+)
Wind Affinity: LV4 (105864/200000) (+)
Fire Affinity: LV3 (24692/100000) (+)
Water Affinity: LV1 (0/10000) (+)
Lightning Affinity: LV1 (0/10000) (+)
Special Talent: Sensory Perception
Overall Evaluation: Elite Jōnin
Witness Points: 121
Akio grinned at the new additions—Water and Lightning Affinities.
"As expected, once Ninjutsu reaches Jōnin level, new affinities develop. I was naturally born with three elements, and now I have all five. As for Yin and Yang Release, I probably need special conditions for those... But at least I'm finally recognized as an Elite Jōnin!"
"Lightning and Water, huh?" Akio muttered. "I won't worry about them for now. My Wind Affinity has finally reached Level 4—I can attempt that trump card. This should be the best way to enhance my strength."
That's right. As someone naturally gifted with Wind Chakra and having spent 48 years in the Warring States era, how could he not develop Naruto's signature technique—Rasengan?
However, creating Rasengan wasn't easy. The main problem? This era had no balloons.
He had forcefully developed it with his Jōnin-level understanding of Ninjutsu while his Wind Affinity was at Level 3.
After mastering Rasengan, he had, of course, wanted to develop its advanced form—Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. Cutting leaves and waterfalls was easy, but he had been stuck on the final step.
Upon careful consideration, he realized that while the system gave him unlimited potential, it also imposed limits. High-level techniques like Rasenshuriken likely required Wind Affinity at Level 4 to be feasible. Knowing the principles and training methods wasn't enough.
For that reason, Akio wasn't overly excited about gaining Lightning Chakra. Chidori and Raikiri probably required Level 3 or 4 Lightning Affinity, meaning they were still far off.
For now, his next goal was to develop Wind Release: Rasenshuriken while keeping an eye on the affairs of the Senju Clan. Any significant event might count as a "major event of the Naruto world," earning him more Witness Points and paving his path to greatness.
With these thoughts, Akio finally surrendered to exhaustion and fell asleep.
The next morning, he was awakened by knocking on his door.
"Great-uncle, Father requests your presence in the main hall."
"Got it. You go ahead; I'll freshen up," Akio replied.
He splashed water on his face and caught sight of his reflection—a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face.
"Damn. I'm 36 now. How do I explain this? That I've suddenly regained my youth?"
He then noticed a rouge container near the washbasin—likely left behind by a female guest.
"…This might work."
A short while later, Akio admired the diamond-shaped red mark on his forehead and smiled in satisfaction.
Upon entering the main hall, he found that everyone had already gathered—Senju Butsuma and the newlywed couple.
"Akio, you—" Butsuma started, then paused, noticing Akio's altered appearance.
"Oh, I mastered the Uzumaki Clan's secret Chakra Yin Seal technique yesterday. It allows me to manipulate my appearance and look younger," Akio quickly explained.
"…Right. Congratulations, then." Butsuma was at a loss for words. A technique that maintained a youthful appearance, now used by someone who could technically be his uncle—it was unsettling.
"Great-uncle, I apologize for any lack of hospitality yesterday. Also, Father, thank you both for your efforts these past few days," Hashirama said.
At last, the future God of Shinobi had returned to normal, no longer acting awkwardly.
"There's no pressing matter today," Butsuma announced. "Hashirama and Mito just wanted to greet everyone. You're free to go."
As Akio was heading back to his room, Mito stopped him.
"Great-uncle, I'm also training in the Chakra Yin Seal technique," she said softly.
"That's great! Keep it up. If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep. I'm exhausted…" Akio yawned.
"But as far as I know, this technique can only be learned by women," Mito added.
Akio's smile froze.
