Get my Ryo up
Chapter three: Get My Ryo Up
It's been a day since I arrived in this world—whether by transmigration or reincarnation, where I just awakened my memories with the advent of canon. It doesn't really matter. I'm happy and lucky to be here.
In my past life, I was an underachiever. People had high hopes for me, but I couldn't reach their expectations. I found myself here, so with no parents and no friends, I now carry the hopes of all transmigrators on my shoulders. I must achieve unparalleled power—even the Otsutsuki themselves will be dwarfed by my excellence, my strength. So help me, system.
To reach that stage depends on my luck and effort. I have to accomplish a lot—things worthy of my system's recognition. So, whoever sent me here, whether to help me or for entertainment, get ready to be entertained.
System.

Traits
[Otsutsuki Lineage Resonance] — Otsutsuki bloodline increases base stats and potential, granting a sage body and the capacity to hold any dojutsu. Host should note that this reward has been modified.
[System Holder] — Able to perceive achievements and interact with the System.
Common Trait: Flexible
You are inordinately flexible—more so than an expert contortionist.
[Skills]
Common Skill: Novice Drawing (Budding Art Nin)
You have the drawing talent of a novice-level art student. Your sketches are passable—better than average villagers—but far from the refined scrolls of professional fūinjutsu masters or legendary artists like Sai.
However, your chakra harmonizes surprisingly well with your creativity. With training, you can progress much faster than most.
Elite Skill: Master Drawing
You are not just a skilled artist—you are a visual storyteller, capable of perfectly capturing thoughts, emotions, or reality on any surface. With a brush, stylus, or chakra-infused ink, your creations can move, speak, or affect the environment and those who perceive them.
This mastery opens the path to a unique style of jutsu blending art, chakra manipulation, and psychological warfare.
Uncommon Skill: Intermediate Acting
You are a skilled actor, able to portray yourself exactly how you want to be seen and conceal your true emotions. But people familiar with you, or with sharp intuition (like detectives), may still see through your act.
[Item]
Common Item: Sealed Arsenal Scroll (a.k.a. "Pocket Armory")
A large grey scroll stored like a duffel bag across the back or waist. Inside is a vast sealing array containing a replica of every traditional cold weapon (swords, spears, kusarigama, axes, etc.), each forged from high-quality chakra-tempered steel. You can unseal and use one weapon at a time. Returning the weapon reseals it.
...
Huh. Slight upgrades.
I'd guessed the reason for the boosts anyway. What? You think the A-rank Intelligence is for show?
Heh, No arguments.
…I do need to get my head checked.
...
First things first today: find a place to train. Either the three body techniques or some kunai drills and shi—oh, oh, kenjutsu is on my agenda as well. With my intelligence and physical ability, it won't be that hard to pick up a few things. There are no overly skilled swordsmen in the ninja world—it's all about who kills and who dies. And I don't plan to be the one who dies.
I'll probably train for a week and then go on a few missions. I have to get my Ryo up. I've got to train at least until I get lucky. My age of mediocrity won't last forever.
Well, considering I'm a twelve-year-old elite Chunin, I've got to say—only the previous generation had bigger monsters than me. Kakashi, Shisui, Itachi, and the rest... most of all, the First Hokage. I heard in my past life that at twelve, he was stronger than his father.
In my generation, only a few would be stronger than me now.
I think even without the system, I'd have had decent potential.
Then again, no system means no bloodline.
...
I arrived at a training ground—too crowded. Too many people. Like twelve or so.
What? I told you I have social anxiety. That's a crowd.
And most importantly, I can't be caught lacking. Gotta keep walking and test my luck.
...
Found one. Only three people here. Nice.
I had kunai from before yesterday, so I could train those and shuriken, but honestly, they get outclassed later.
Kenjutsu it is.
But the three body techniques... I've got to experience my first jutsu before a big fight.
With my stats, pulling off the basics was a breeze. No way I'm letting that A-ranked intelligence go to waste.
Just like I predicted.
...
Feat Achieved! The Flow of Chakra
+1 Bronze Skill Ticket
Feat Achieved! Basic Shinobi Foundations
+1 Bronze Skill Ticket
...
Now the dilemma. Roll, or wait and possibly stack more achievements?
Screw it. You only live once.
Roll.
...
Rolling Bronze Skill Ticket…
→ Uncommon Skill: Intermediate Teaching
You are a good teacher. You know how to effectively impart your knowledge and skills to people well enough and can get them to take your lessons to heart most of the time.
...
Call me Kenshin-sensei. This is kinda useless, not gonna lie.
Roll.
...
Rolling Bronze Skill Ticket…
→ Common Skill: Novice Charisma
You have an aura of charisma around you. It's less of a skill and more of something that's just about you—a shift in your posture, a glint in your eye, the way people listen when you speak. At this level, it's subtle, but it's there.
...
Not bad, to be honest.
I shouldn't expect too much—I'll just keep getting disappointed. But cut the system some slack. I've been getting shitty achievements. What more do I expect from Bronze tickets? Still salty about that Gold ticket pulling an Uncommon skill. It hurts.
...
Spent the rest of the day water-walking and tree-walking. Pretty easy, honestly. What'd you expect?
I'm a genius.
The issue now? Jutsu scarcity.
Which, to be honest, can be solved with a good pull.
But nooo, the system thinks charisma, acting, and teaching are the way to go.
Turning me into a discount Aizen.
Speaking of Aizen...
Couldn't train my kenjutsu—no sparring partner. Can't expect me to swing at myself. I mean, I did that as a kid.
Yes, both swords you're thinking of.
Next thing on the agenda?
Mission grinding.
I've got to get my Ryo up.
