Chapter 29: The Mission Maniac!

The fact that Might Guy appeared was not complicated—it was all due to Fujinaka Genma’s own doing.

Hyuga Mio received no opposition from the Hyuga clan when she began learning medical ninjutsu from Tsunade, so the girl was directly taken by Tsunade to the Hidden Leaf’s Medical Corps.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not follow Tsunade’s suggestion to assign medical ninja to each ninja team.

After the war ended, Hiruzen Sarutobi implemented it anyway, establishing a Medical Corps within the Hidden Leaf Hospital to train medical ninja.

He also attempted to arrange them according to Tsunade’s original concept.

With Hyuga Mio temporarily away, personnel needed to be replenished.

Fortunately, Might Guy and his group had just graduated.

After a brief moment of mental disorientation, Fujinaka Genma came to his senses and accepted the corrected trajectory of his fate.

“Let’s go!”

Since they knew each other, Muraichi Yajuu skipped the formal introductions and set out immediately to complete the mission.

This was a C-rank mission: escorting supplies, with no difficulty.

Fujinaka Genma checked the Kikan task system—just as expected, worth 10 Kikan points.

He glanced at Ebisu, wearing sunglasses and pretending to be cool, then at the excited Guy, and decided: “I need to complete more missions and accumulate Kikan points!”

Although higher-difficulty missions yield more Kikan points, they aren’t something Itachi can just take on whenever Itachi want.

What to do?

If quality is lacking, make up for it with quantity!

So.

With Fujinaka Genma’s decision, Ebisu and the newly graduated Guy began a hellish mission routine.

They were either completing missions or on the way to completing them.

At their peak, they completed ten missions per month.

That meant an average of one mission every three days.

Six months later.

Fujinaka Genma’s name became universally known among the Hidden Leaf ninja.

One year later, someone had slapped the title “Mission Maniac” onto Fujinaka Genma.

Two years later, the Hidden Leaf ninja had shifted from mocking him to admiring him.

Even though, aside from Muraichi Yajuu—the team’s jonin leader—none of Fujinaka Genma’s teammates were older than twelve.

Year 43 of the Hidden Leaf, April 7th.

“We’re finally back!”

Seeing the gates of the Hidden Leaf, listless Guy burst into happy tears.

As for Ebisu, he didn’t even have the strength to speak.

Muraichi Yajuu also exhaled a quiet sigh—having a prodigy as a subordinate was no easy thing.

He himself had been utterly exhausted during this time!

He turned to look at Fujinaka Genma, only to find the boy still radiating energy.

“This physique is just…”

Muraichi Yajuu sighed helplessly and said, “Genma, Itachi should take a break now!”

Fujinaka Genma turned and looked at Guy and Ebisu, who were watching him with hopeful eyes, and nodded with a smile: “I was planning that too—let’s rest for half a month, train, and improve our strength.”

“Wahhh! Genma, Itachi’re the best!”

Guy burst into tears.

Fujinaka Genma couldn’t help but laugh and groan.

In truth, even if Muraichi Yajuu hadn’t suggested it, Fujinaka Genma had already planned to take a break.

Ebisu had reached his limit; if missions kept coming this frequently, he might collapse.

After entering the Hidden Leaf through the gate, the team disbanded. As Fujinaka Genma was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and called out to Guy: “Guy, train with me this afternoon!”

Thud!

Guy collapsed straight to the ground.

Fujinaka Genma smiled happily, waved his hand, and walked away.

Ebisu gave Guy a look of pity, then turned and headed home.

He decided he would sleep for three days and three nights.

Back home.

“Ahh!”

Soaking in hot water, Fujinaka Genma couldn’t help but sigh in comfort.

In two years, he completed eighty D-rank missions, forty C-rank missions, and ten B-rank missions—a total of 130 missions.

If he kept going like this, he himself would throw up.

“But all this exhaustion was worth it!”

Steam rose around him as Fujinaka Genma closed his eyes and focused his attention on the Kikan system.

Character: Fujinaka Genma

Level: 19

Age: 12 years old

Faction: Hidden Leaf Village, Land of Fire

Available attribute points: 0

Available skill points: 5

Over two years, he had leveled up three times.

This was mainly because, although he completed many missions, he hadn’t fought as intensely as he had in the Grass Village.

Level gains came mostly from attribute increases.

Open the attribute panel.

Constitution: 1040

Agility: 32

Intelligence: 31

Charm: 27

Over two years, his Constitution attribute had increased by 44 points.

Forty of those came from training and physical development—naturally, after the Ten-Level Iron Bones talent boost; otherwise, it would have been only 20 points.

The other four points came from attribute point increases, also amplified by the talent.

Agility rose from 29 to 32—one point from attribute points, two from training and prolonged Lei Dun cultivation.

Intelligence increased by four points; Fujinaka Genma found it unremarkable.

Over these two years, he had learned very few new techniques, focusing all his energy on the Jin Gang Sealing technique.

Finally, Charm increased by five points.

On one hand, his body had grown—he was twelve but already stood 1.7 meters tall, becoming increasingly handsome.

On the other hand, his reputation had skyrocketed over these two years.

Looking at his stats, Fujinaka Genma felt generally satisfied with his progress over the past two years.

“But even with Constitution over a thousand, my chakra is still far from two-thirds of Kushina’s.”

“And that’s two-thirds of her chakra even while suppressing the Nine-Tails.”

“Not enough!”

Fujinaka Genma rubbed his chin.

Compared to Naruto at the same age, his chakra was probably still far behind.

He might need Constitution to reach 5,000 before his chakra could rival Kushina Uzumaki.

Only when it broke 10,000 could he even be mentioned in the same breath as Hashirama Senju.

This was his revised estimate.

“The road ahead is long.”

Fujinaka Genma sighed, then switched to the system store.

Brightly displayed in the upper-right corner:

12,300!

This was the Kikan points he had saved over two years—earned from 130 missions.

On average, each mission earned him less than 100 Kikan points.

“Enough to buy twelve attribute points or skill points…”

Looking at his meager funds, Fujinaka Genma pondered.

How should he allocate them?

But after careful thought, he realized he didn’t need to overthink it.

So.

Fujinaka Genma directly purchased twelve attribute points.

Although only ten could be bought per year, his unused quotas from the previous two years had been saved up.

With twelve attribute points, Fujinaka Genma immediately added them all to his Constitution.

Then, with a 100% boost from Level 10 Iron Bones, his stats instantly doubled.

His constitution surged by 24 points; Fujinaka Genma immediately felt his body heat up, followed by intense hunger.

This had never happened before.

“Bad—too big a jump. I need energy replenishment.”

His body grew weak; Fujinaka Genma no longer cared about conserving Combat Points and directly bought ten Ultra-Concentrated Military Rations from the shop, each costing 1 Combat Point.

He bought ten at once and swallowed them all.

As he swallowed the Ultra-Concentrated Military Rations, warm currents surged from his dantian through his entire body, filling him with warmth.

He clearly felt his stamina rising, his bones and muscles growing denser and stronger.

But ten Ultra-Concentrated Military Rations were not enough.

Fujinaka Genma immediately bought ninety more, spending 100 Combat Points in total; his balance now stood at only 200 Combat Points.

As he swallowed each Ultra-Concentrated Military Ration, Fujinaka Genma even heard the crackling sound of his bones growing.
