Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 010

Regarding the choice of taijutsu, Hayato resolutely chose Eight Extremities Fist.

As the saying goes, “Tai Chi for peace in the world, Eight Extremities for stability of the universe,” he had long heard of the formidable reputation of Eight Extremities Fist.

Although he possessed a solid foundation in this area, in a world where chakra reigned supreme, perfectly integrating Eight Extremities Fist with chakra to create his own unique ninjutsu was undoubtedly a highly challenging task.

However, Hayato was never one to back down from a challenge. As soon as the thought came to him, he immediately stood firm in the courtyard and, combining his past life’s experience, began arduous training.

The essence of Eight Extremities Fist lay in the flexible application of eight parts: head, shoulders, elbows, hands, tailbone, hips, knees, and feet. Each move and stance contained infinite power and wisdom.

Hayato focused intently, immersing himself in the principles and techniques of Eight Extremities Fist. Every movement strived for precision, and every breath perfectly synchronized with the fist techniques.

The commotion in the courtyard quickly drew the attention of Shota and Misaki, who were resting in the main hall.

“What’s going on?” Misaki asked with a puzzled expression.

Shota mumbled, “Could it be Hayato?” and then hurried out of the main hall, heading straight for the courtyard.

Seeing this, Misaki quickly followed him.

When the two arrived in the courtyard, Hayato had just finished a set of fist techniques, his movements fluid and natural, his aura like a rainbow.

Shota frowned slightly and asked softly, “What are you doing, Hayato?” Hayato looked up at his father, his eyes firm, and said softly, “I’m practicing taijutsu, Dad.”

Hearing his son’s words, a trace of doubt arose in Shota’s heart.

He knew his son had done some fitness exercises before, but practicing taijutsu, especially practicing alone, the difficulty of it was self-evident.

He couldn’t help but worry, “Taijutsu isn’t something you can just figure out on your own. Let me…” Just as he was about to demonstrate his kunai throwing technique, a hearty voice interrupted him: “Haha, good! Worthy of my grandson!”

The Great Elder appeared in the courtyard at some unknown time, his face beaming with pride and joy. After learning about Hayato’s enrollment in the ninja academy, he had been worried and specially came to visit his grandson.

Seeing this, Hayato quickly stepped forward to greet him, “Hello, Grandpa!” Shota and Misaki also quickly greeted the Great Elder.

The Great Elder smiled and came to Hayato’s side, squatting down and patting his head.

“Little Hayato, how was your day at the ninja academy today?”

Hayato smiled and replied, “Hmm, it was quite interesting, Grandpa.”

Shota wasn’t too angry about the Great Elder interrupting him, after all, that was his own father.

But for his son’s future, he still couldn’t help but remind him, “Hayato, taijutsu isn’t that simple. It requires someone to teach you, otherwise, not only will you waste time, but you might also take unnecessary detours.”

However, Hayato said firmly, “Dad, I know what I’m doing. I’m not messing around.”

Shota squatted down, intending to educate him again: “Why aren’t you listening? Even the smartest person has things they’re not capable of.”

He wouldn’t admit that he just wanted to establish a tall and mighty image in front of his son.

At this moment, the Great Elder dotingly said, “Alright, if Hayato says it’s no problem, then it’s no problem.”

Shota said somewhat discontentedly, “Father, you’re spoiling Hayato too much.”

The Great Elder, however, retorted indifferently.

“Were you born standing?”

“Were you born able to activate your Sharingan?”

“No, but…” Shota was momentarily speechless.

The Great Elder made a final decision: “Isn’t that enough? Don’t use your standards to measure a genius. Geniuses are always unique.”

Earlier, before Shota and Misaki arrived, the Great Elder had secretly observed Hayato’s taijutsu training. That set of fist techniques flowed like water, possessing great artistic beauty and impact, making him nod in approval.

Hayato watched the Great Elder defend him from the side, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. This was the love between generations.

Misaki, standing behind Shota, saw that the atmosphere was a bit off and quickly stepped forward to ease it: “Father, have you had dinner? Why don’t you eat something here?”

The Great Elder waved his hand, “No need, I’ve eaten!” Then, he looked at Hayato and said softly, “Little Hayato, let’s go. That thing I promised you before.”

Hayato’s eyes lit up when he heard this: “Grandpa, are you going to teach me that now?”

The Great Elder smiled and nodded: “Come with me.” Soon, he led Hayato away from the courtyard.

Watching his father’s receding back, Shota couldn’t help but grumble, “Father spoils Hayato too much.”

Misaki, beside him, smiled slightly. She understood that her husband was so nervous because he had too high expectations for Hayato. She gently comforted him, “No matter what, he’s still our son.”

Hearing this, Shota was slightly stunned, then smiled: “Haha, you’re right. No matter what, I’m still his old man.”

On the other side, the Great Elder and Hayato arrived at the lakeside.

The sky was gradually darkening now, and the sunset glow was reflected on the lake, making the crimson surface ripple gently with the waves.

The two stood by the shore, and the Great Elder smiled as he looked at Hayato: “Watch carefully, Hayato. The key to this ninjutsu is to correctly manipulate chakra through hand seals, gathering it in your throat, and then spitting out a fireball.”

After speaking, the Great Elder slowly formed hand seals, mainly for teaching purposes, to let Hayato learn the sealing sequence. He formed the seals while saying, “Remember the hand seal sequence: Snake – Ram – Monkey – Boar – Horse – Tiger.” Hayato watched intently from the side, afraid of missing any detail.

After the Great Elder finished forming the hand seals in sequence, he half-clenched his right hand and placed it near his mouth, his cheeks puffed out slightly.

With a loud shout from him, “Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!” a large fireball, about two meters in diameter, shot out from his mouth and flew towards the lake.

The scorching fireball instantly evaporated the moisture on the lake surface, making the already crimson lake even redder. The fireball remained on the lake for a moment before dissipating.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Hayato finally understood why the Great Elder wanted to bring him here to train.

A place with water allowed for safe practice of Fire Style ninjutsu, preventing the tragedy of setting the mountain on fire.

After finishing the demonstration, the Great Elder came to Hayato’s side: “The Fireball Jutsu is a C-rank ninjutsu, not that easy to learn. Hayato, if you don’t understand anything, you can ask, and we can learn slowly.”

However, Hayato didn’t ask questions immediately. Instead, he slowly walked to the lake surface and began forming hand seals, mimicking the Great Elder.

After he finished forming the hand seals in sequence, he half-clenched his right hand and placed it near his mouth, took a deep breath, and shouted, “Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!”

Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!

A fireball with a radius of only half a meter flew out from his mouth. Although it was much smaller than the Great Elder’s fireball, it was a success on his very first attempt!

What!

The Great Elder was shocked. He didn’t expect Hayato to learn this C-rank ninjutsu after seeing it only once!

He couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Haha, worthy of my grandson!”

However, Hayato wasn’t immersed in the joy of success. Instead, he dispelled the fireball, turned around to face the Great Elder, and asked:

“Grandpa, why does the fireball have to be spit out from the mouth? If the enemy seals my mouth, wouldn’t this ninjutsu be useless?”

Hearing Hayato’s words, the Great Elder couldn’t help but blink. He had never thought about this question, as the key to this ninjutsu was to condense chakra in the throat, and it had always been passed down as spitting out the fireball from the mouth.

Hayato’s thinking was so unconventional that it left the Great Elder a bit bewildered.

He somewhat regretted teaching Hayato a C-rank ninjutsu so early, as this child was too intelligent and always came up with unexpected questions.

But on second thought, wasn’t this also a good thing? After all, only such a child could potentially go further and higher on their future path.
