Chapter 5 System Task

Konoha.

Under the dark sky, the whole village was brightly lit but the streets were deserted and silence covered the whole village.

Nara House.

Ring...Ring...

On the futon lay a kid around 4 years old but suddenly the alarm beside him began to shake as the blonde hair kid woke up.

"Sigh..."

Satoshi sat up as he sighed looking at the time, a helpless look all over his face.

Last night during the dinner, he received a system notification so he had no choice but to set an alarm to wake up at 4 am.

"Ding! [Daily System Task: Run laps around the village early morning to your limit and practice your sword skills for the next 2 years, Reward: 0.02% Template Integration/day]"

Satoshi will be given daily tasks every day for the next whole 2 years and he has to complete them if he wants to increase his Template Integration

Since it was a system task, Satoshi had no choice but to get up so early, when everyone else is asleep.

Satoshi turned off the alarm as he stood up ready to train.

After washing his face, Satoshi quickly put on red sportswear and after fixing the wooden sword on his back, he arrived at the door.

"Huh?"

Temari who was sleeping in her room heard the minor sound of the door opening, woke up immediately.

She has been a Ninja and has even fought in the terrifying fourth Ninja World War, so her awareness of the surroundings was always good.

"Is it a thief?"

Looking at the time, Temari couldn't think of anything else as she hurriedly got up with a worried expression.

She has two sons, what if something happened to them, Temari arrived at the door and saw it was locked.

She went to Shikadai's room and saw him sleeping soundly she was relieved.

"Satoshi!!"

She went to the upper floor but seeing no sign of Satoshi, her face turned pale with fright.

Satoshi was only 4, if a thief really entered their house, he could have easily kidnapped her son.

With her Kamatari in her hands, Temari quickly dashed outside ready to search for him.

"I hope he is fine!!"

Prayed Temari in her heart her face full of worry as she jumped from house to house looking around, hoping the kidnapper hasn't gone far away.

"Huh?"

Temari who was about to leap again suddenly stopped as she spotted a small figure from the corners of her eye, running steadily on the street with a wooden sword fixed on his back.

"Thank God"

Temari immediately recognized her son as she sighed in relief but just when she wanted to give him a lesson for sneaking out, she stopped again seeing the serious expression on his face.

"1...2...1...2"

Satoshi keeping a steady rhythm was running the second lap as he didn't feel tired at all since his body had really gotten strong after 10% integration.

"Sigh...

"Overprotective moms are also a drag but... it isn't that bad either"

Satoshi running suddenly sensed a familiar aura about 40 meters away tailing him as he recognized it immediately and smiled helplessly.

Though it felt like a drag to him; Satoshi felt warm in his heart also, happy that someone who cares so much for him is present.

"Just what the hell has happened to this kid?"

Temari looked at her son at some distance as she couldn't understand how her son changed so much overnight.

Men of the Nara family considered everything drag and waking up so early to train was the last thing they would do.

Though he did say to her something about becoming strong; she never thought he was so bent on achieving his dream.

"Hehe~, I can brag about my son in front of them now"

Temari tailed Satoshi for about an hour and seeing him getting up after getting tired every time, she felt immensely proud.

Temari couldn't wait to brag about her son in front of Ino, Sakura, and Hinata, as he was so different from his peers.

Temari after giving Satoshi the last look went back with a happy expression on her face as Satoshi who pretended to fall earlier, finally sighed in relief.

Satoshi was really cautious, if he ran an hour straight without getting tired, Temari would definitely doubt something so he pretended to get tired and fell earlier.

With Temari gone, Satoshi speeded up and after completing 20 laps around the village, currently his limit, he started his sword training.

His sword training task was to swing his sword 300 times without stopping, it sounded simple but it was far more difficult as even with 10% Template Integration, his muscles felt a bit soar.

"Ding! [Congratulations on completing the daily system task, Template Integration: 10.02%]"

After another hour of sword-swinging, Satoshi finally completed his task as he felt a warm current spreading through his whole body, his tiredness completely gone.

The training was completed, Satoshi strode back home as the first ray of the rising sun fell on his face, revealing a face full of expectations for the future.
