Help! I, Genma Shiranui, Am About to Graduate

Xuan Jian became Shiranui Genma, a student at the Konoha Ninja Academy. His father, the family's sole breadwinner, had died, leaving only his mother to make a living running a general store.

The Third Shinobi World War had already begun, and with no idea when he might be drafted, the boy, who was about to turn ten, felt rather gloomy.

War meant people died!

And aside from being pretty good at throwing senbon, Shiranui Genma had nothing going for him.

After all, his father had only been an outstanding chunin, and all he left behind were a few jutsu.

In this dangerous shinobi world, where nobody played fair, who knew when a squad of jounin might suddenly appear and wipe you all out?

Just as Shiranui Genma was growing anxious, the System's Gate of Truth opened.

"Ding! Host, you have practiced senbon throwing ten thousand times. Proficiency maxed out. Would you like to derive an advanced technique?"

"Ding! Host, you have practiced the Three Basic Jutsu ten thousand times. Proficiency maxed out. Would you like to derive an advanced technique?"

As long as I master a jutsu completely, I can advance it. Forbidden techniques and secret arts are all within my grasp.
