Naruto: Surviving to the Top of the Ninja World Without the Sharingan

While his clanmates relied on their bloodline talents, he sweated it out on an abandoned training ground;

While geniuses dominated the battlefield with their Sharingan, he fought his way to the top with the most basic ninjutsu, one strike at a time.

This is the legend of a “good-for-nothing” who can't awaken his eyes, rising from cannon fodder to Hokage and from the shinobi world to the cosmos, shattering class barriers and rewriting his fate every step of the way.

Can't awaken the Sharingan? Then surpass it.

Li Chen gets the Hokage world's most powerful jutsu from the start: Talk no Jutsu.

He talks Orochimaru into competing for the Fourth Hokage position, and talks Minato out of becoming the next generation's whipping boy.

He talks Itachi into becoming his disciple, and even convinces Shisui to defect from Konoha.
