The Ninja Academy operates on a three-semester system each year: the first semester begins on April 1st and concludes in mid-July, the second runs from early September to late December, and the third spans from early January to the end of March.
On April 1st, in the 54th year of Konoha, the Ninja Academy ushered in the first semester of a new academic year.
By the end of March, sixth-year students had completed their graduation. Some became official genin, others returned to retake courses, a few were specially recruited by certain village departments, and some chose to abandon the path of the ninja entirely.
Students in other grades advanced to higher levels today, while the vacated first-year classrooms awaited new students who had passed the entrance exams.
Izayoi was among them.
Unlike most new students, who arrived with parents or older siblings, Izayoi was one of the rare few who came alone. Likewise, unlike those who gazed enviously at classmates accompanied by family, Izayoi's eyes held no trace of jealousy or longing—only observation.
But he wasn't studying their appearances. His focus was on something only he could see.
[Ninja Aptitude (White)]
[Chakra Control (Green)]
[Chunin Potential (Green)]
Whenever Izayoi concentrated on someone, bubbles would materialize around them. These bubbles varied in color—some matching, others distinct—and contained words written in the same hue as their shells.
Some people, however, had no bubbles at all.
This could mean they lacked talent entirely, or their talents fell below even the lowest tier. Abilities tied to mundane professions, for instance, didn't register.
This was Izayoi's trump card—his cheat.
Izayoi had no surname, only a given name. The orphanage director explained it was because he was born on the night of June 16th.
He lived in the orphanage until he was three, learning to read, speak, and master basic survival skills. Then the director sent him back to his family's home and took him to the cemetery to meet his parents from this life.
Izayoi came from a ninja family, though both his parents were orphans without surnames. His father, a village chunin, perished during a mission alongside his entire team, including their jonin leader. His mother died from childbirth complications. With her final breath, she didn't entrust Izayoi to her husband or friends but asked a doctor to place him in the orphanage.
Backed by the village, the orphanage had no interest in claiming Izayoi's inheritance.
And so it was.
Izayoi wasn't shocked to begin learning independence at three. After grasping the nature of the world he'd been reborn into, he realized the world's chosen one—its child of destiny—had also lived alone from that age. That person was even bolder, wandering alone through a deserted snowy night at three years old.
The world of Naruto, nicknamed The Legend of Eyes in the Five Villages' Brawl or Black Zetsu's Quest for Mother.
Thrust into a saga centered on the Otsutsuki clan's family feuds—a world where bloodlines reigned supreme—Izayoi felt no panic. Though he was merely an orphan without a surname or Kekkei Genkai, he harbored no despair.
Because… he had a cheat of his own.
The Talent Entry System, his golden ticket, activated when he turned one.
Beyond seeing bubbles around others, Izayoi could summon a screen in his mind, visible only to him, unreflective even in mirrors. This screen displayed his personal details and a newbie gift pack.
At three, he used that gift pack.
Now, his profile was unrecognizable—lavishly upgraded.
As he stepped into the Ninja Academy, Izayoi called up the mental screen.
[Host: Izayoi]
[Talent Entries: Otsutsuki Bloodline (Red), Super Kage Potential (Gold), Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan (Purple), All-Attribute Constitution (Purple), Medical Genius (Blue), Chakra Control (Blue)]
[Points: 25]
While others had one or two bubbles at most—or none—Izayoi boasted an astounding six talent entries.
Yet, when he first gained the Talent Entry System, he had only one: Chunin Potential (Green).
At three, he defied fate itself, transforming into this era's greatest talent prodigy.
In terms of raw potential, none surpassed him—only equals existed.
The talent entry tiers—White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red—weren't system-provided. Izayoi deduced them himself.
He was certain higher tiers existed beyond Red, though their colors eluded him for now.
The Talent Entry System's purpose was to let its host acquire others' talent entries.
Izayoi had uncovered two methods so far, both through trial and error.
The first: defeating opponents. In equal matches, low-tier entries were likely, with a slim chance for high-tier ones. Overcoming stronger foes nearly guaranteed high-tier entries and always yielded low-tier ones. Crushing victories, however, offered only a faint chance for either.
The second method was the newbie gift pack, a one-time chance to copy another's talent entry.
Upon learning he'd transmigrated into the Naruto world—a universe he'd obsessed over as a student—and was born on June 16th, Konoha 48, the same age as the Nine Rookies, Izayoi nearly used the gift pack on Naruto Uzumaki without hesitation.
Naruto was, after all, this world's protagonist—the era's central figure.
Child of the Sage, reincarnation of Asura's chakra, heir to Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Sage Body, bearer of an unawakened Uzumaki bloodline, and the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki… Naruto was a walking powerhouse. Even mispronouncing "chakra" or failing to refine it, his seals and bloodline ensured his chakra grew ceaselessly.
If Naruto held entries tied to Asura or the Sage Body, copying one would grant Izayoi immense potential instantly.
Sasuke Uchiha was another tempting option—also a reincarnation of the Sage's son, inheriting Hagoromo's Sage Eye.
But while searching for them, Izayoi brushed past a Hyuga clan member on the street. A sudden spark of insight made him reconsider.
This era's ninja world hailed Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha as its greatest talents. Like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, they were reincarnations of the Sage's sons, armed with Super Kage potential and the Six Paths Sage's guidance.
Once they unlocked their potential, Super Kage status was certain.
With the Sage's ultimate blessing, they'd surpass even Hashirama and Madara, reaching Six Paths-level strength.
On Earth, no one in this era matched their potential.
But… what lay beyond Earth?
