This proves that 10 is merely a conventional upper limit—further advancement is possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Kenshaku system cannot exceed level 10, but my base attributes have no cap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If my learning ability and creativity can break through the sky, why can’t they break the level 10 cap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma reflected on himself, his thoughts slowly shifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he never considered these things—he only wanted to use the Kenshaku system to boost his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he began contemplating his future path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path without the Kenshaku system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things even the system cannot achieve—the very limits of the Kenshaku system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After today, tomorrow marks Year 47 of Konoha—I can buy more skill points and attribute points again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the system, Fujinaka Genma went to another training ground across a small grove of trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, Yamato, his bodyguard, trained in Wood Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, Yamato’s Wood Release is quite strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can suppress a portion of the Nine-Tails’ power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primarily control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In solo combat, it may seem underwhelming, but with teamwork, its true value emerges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The representative of Wood Release: Hashirama Senju; the representative of Lightning Release: the first through fourth Raikage; the representative of Water Release: Tobirama Senju, the Mizukage, and Samehada.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma mused inwardly: “And Earth Release, along with its extended Kekkei Genkai—Daimyo, Deidara, Katsuyu—all are formidable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even pure Fire Release, in Madara Uchiha’s hands, became a forbidden technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So strength doesn’t lie in the type of power, but in the person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The same Mangekyo Sharingan yields completely different power in different hands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he study Wood Release?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give Yamato a skin, add a Lightning Release armor—sounds not bad at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ideas popped into Fujinaka Genma’s mind, but he quickly extinguished them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wood Release later—first, perfect Lei Shen Susano’o and Electromagnetic Shield.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Riding a sword to slay enemies is also very impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze away and was about to resume training when a Root ninja suddenly appeared. “Lord Genma, the Fourth Hokage requests your presence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma nodded, didn’t interrupt Yamato, and left instantly using Flying Thunder God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma nodded and did not interrupt Yamato, leaving immediately via Flying Thunder God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fujinaka Genma arrived, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Kushina Uzumaki were already there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After greeting them all, Fujinaka Genma took a document from Minato Namikaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening it, he saw the data comparison from the earlier survey on the Senju clan’s integration into Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Senju clan’s status before integration need not be explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Konoha was newly founded, the ninja academy was in its infancy, civilian ninja were few, and Konoha’s strength came entirely from the various merged clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This data compares civilian and clan members with Senju blood against those without Senju blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma scanned page after page of data, then flipped to the summary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma scanned page after page of data, then turned to the final summary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Civilians with Senju blood had higher cultivation rates and higher ceilings than other civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same held true for clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This data was Konoha’s full-scale statistical survey—no omissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conclusion was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Senju clan directly raised Konoha’s overall average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They truly sacrificed themselves for Konoha’s benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Genma, Itachi should call Tsunade ‘Auntie’—she’s your great-aunt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma: (⊙o⊙)…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Tsunade and saw her watching him with a faint, knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under everyone’s gaze, Fujinaka Genma felt awkward, cleared his throat twice, and quickly changed the subject: “Then, how does the village’s strength compare between before the First Shinobi World War and before the Third?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the First Shinobi World War, the Senju clan still existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Genma, I’ve already consulted Third Hokage on this,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato Namikaze said. “In terms of total ninja numbers and overall strength excluding top-tier fighters, the Third Shinobi World War era was clearly stronger—not only due to the Senju’s fragmentation, but also population growth and the continuous refinement of the ninja academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this doesn’t prove much—too many factors are involved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, there are pros and cons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya nodded, adding: “The Senju’s fragmentation greatly increased the village’s overall potential.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But at the same time, we’ve nearly lost the chance to produce powerful Wood Release users—or even another Second Hokage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The awakening of Kekkei Genkai and the manifestation of extraordinary physical traits require a sufficient base population.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like Itachi, Genma—there are now thousands in Konoha with Senju blood, yet only one with your astonishing physique!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma had no reply—he couldn’t say he owed his power not to Senju blood, but to cheating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma had no reply—how could he say he wasn’t relying on the Senju bloodline, but on luck?\u003C\u002Fp>",1108,"2026-06-21T02:29:34.312Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
