Chapter 7: Confrontation, 1.3 Kaka!

Looking at the woman across from him, Fujinaka Genma took a deep breath and said, “Master Kushina, my strength is somewhat extraordinary, so please be careful.”

The Constitution attribute in the Mount & Blade system represents physical fitness.

It includes stamina, strength, bodily durability, and recovery.

This means that even without using chakra, he possesses extraordinary power and defense.

Even without chakra, ordinary kunai or similar weapons, as long as they don’t strike his eyes, can barely break his skin.

Now, he decided to give his all, fully display his abilities, unleash his charm, and win over Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki blinked in slight surprise—her previous records never mentioned Fujinaka Genma having exceptional strength.

“It seems Itachi’ve been holding back at school.”

Kushina Uzumaki grew increasingly interested in Fujinaka Genma.

He’s handsome, has a great personality, is a genius but not arrogant, humble, polite, and knows how to speak.

He radiates brightness, energy, and vitality, giving off an uplifting aura.

Even on first meeting, he inspired strong goodwill.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”

Kushina Uzumaki smiled lightly.

“Then…”

“I’m coming!”

Fujinaka Genma prepared himself, let out a low grunt, and his feet exploded with force.

Instantly, the ground beneath his feet sank and cracked, then erupted in dirt.

Fujinaka Genma shot forward like a cannonball, straight toward Kushina Uzumaki.

“Such immense strength!”

Kushina Uzumaki was startled.

Fujinaka Genma’s displayed strength exceeded her expectations, even with prior warning.

Moreover, she could tell her student wasn’t using chakra at all—only pure physical power.

With lightning speed, she dodged Fujinaka Genma’s fierce strike, circled behind him, and delivered a sweeping kick.

Though Fujinaka Genma charged fiercely, his body control was exceptional—he planted one hand on the ground, leapt upward, and brought his leg down like a blade.

Boom!

Dust billowed as Fujinaka Genma split the ground open into a deep crater.

Kushina Uzumaki avoided the blow.

The battle continued.

They exchanged blows, but it wasn’t pure taijutsu training—they also employed the Body Replacement Technique.

And Kushina Uzumaki grew more astonished.

Fujinaka Genma showed very little combat experience, which was normal—he was still a student, and even in practical classes, his opponents were merely other students.

Yet Fujinaka Genma displayed extraordinary combat talent.

Beyond his powerful physique, he had exceptional body control, agile movements, and rapid neural reflexes, greatly compensating for his lack of experience.

And—

Kushina Uzumaki also witnessed Fujinaka Genma’s remarkable learning ability; she could clearly sense his progress.

Boom!

Suddenly, Fujinaka Genma feinted and threw a smoke bomb.

Amidst the swirling smoke, Kushina Uzumaki saw multiple Fujinaka Genmas charging from different directions.

“Using clones to confuse my vision and distract me—are Itachi preparing another move?”

Ordinary clones couldn’t deceive her—Kushina Uzumaki punched each one, shattering them one by one.

Then, a scorching heat surged from behind her.

She turned and saw a massive fireball.

A fireball over ten meters in diameter, roaring with power, leaving the ground charred and cracked in its path.

“Surprises never end!”

“After such intense taijutsu combat, Itachi still managed to unleash such a powerful fire technique—Fujinaka’s stamina is truly beyond imagination.”

Kushina Uzumaki was astonished again.

Not even a child, let alone a Chunin, would still have energy left after such a fierce taijutsu exchange.

Water Release—Water Wall!

Even as she was startled, Kushina Uzumaki’s hands moved swiftly—she formed hand seals, and water gathered around her, forming a spiral barrier.

Boom!

Fire met water, steam billowed.

At that moment, a sharp hiss—a crimson senbon pierced through the swirling steam and appeared before Kushina Uzumaki.

“The fireball was just a feint—this is the real strike. Excellent!”

Unable to dodge, Kushina Uzumaki was pierced by the senbon and dissolved into a puddle of water.

But immediately, she reappeared from the water.

Water Clone, Body Replacement Technique!

Fujinaka Genma showed no surprise at this sight.

He was familiar with the Naruto original story, though the canon provided very little information about Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki was best known for her chakra and her powerful sealing technique—Golden Lock.

But that didn’t mean she didn’t know other ninjutsu.

“Master Kushina, I’ve used all my techniques.”

Fujinaka Genma stopped, having exhausted all his options—he was already pleased to have destroyed one clone.

Of course, this was also because Kushina Uzumaki hadn’t used her full strength.

Otherwise, with Golden Lock deployed, he’d be completely overpowered.

Kushina Uzumaki didn’t move further, stepping forward to stand before Fujinaka Genma: “Itachi performed well—quick reflexes, strong combat talent.”

“But how much stamina do Itachi have left?”

Fujinaka Genma estimated and replied, “About one-third remains.”

“Impressive—your total chakra is roughly one-third of mine, which surpasses many Jonin.”

Kushina Uzumaki gave a thumbs-up.

Fujinaka Genma opened his Mount & Blade system and felt a sudden pang in his chest.

Character: Fujinaka Genma

Level: 10

Age: 9

Faction: Hidden Leaf Village, Land of Fire

Available attribute points: 0

Available skill points: 0

Constitution: 960

Agility: 21

Intelligence: 20

Charm: 15

These four attributes had changed drastically since he first arrived two years ago.

Especially Constitution—he had more than a hundredfold increase from his original value.

This massive growth came from allocating all his level-up attribute and skill points into Constitution and the talent skill Iron Bones.

The Iron Bones talent skill had been raised to level 10, its maximum, granting a 100% boost.

Just now, his Constitution increased by +1, which became +2 after the boost.

Yet despite this massive rise—nearly a thousand Constitution—his chakra was still only one-third of Kushina Uzumaki’s.

And this one-third likely didn’t even account for Kushina Uzumaki suppressing the Nine-Tails.

If we equate Kushina Uzumaki with Naruto Uzumaki—

Then himself—

Fujinaka Genma quickly calculated: his current chakra volume was about 1.3 times that of Kakashi Hatake at his peak.

In other words… 1.3 Kaka!

Damn it—in the Naruto world, even cheating can’t beat bloodline.

Fujinaka Genma felt a touch of bitterness, completely ignoring the fact that he was only nine years old.
