Ninja in Konoha: Starting with the Time Fruit

"Chiba Seishi... Transformation jutsu has failed!... The result is announced as unqualified!"

"Chiba Seishi... Transformation jutsu has failed!... The result is announced as unqualified!"

The teacher in front of him looked at Chiba Seishi, who had a handsome face, and showed a helpless expression.

He liked this child despite his young age, but unfortunately, his talent was too poor. Although he was extremely diligent in studying, he couldn't even learn simple transformation jutsu.

He had even privately reported to the Second Hokage that this child might not have the talent to be a shinobi, but the Hokage didn't say much and just asked to wait and see.

Chiba Seishi's face showed a trace of unwillingness. He had worked so hard, but he couldn't learn these low-level ninjutsu no matter what.

Could it be that he really had no talent to be a shinobi?

Even he, who was usually mentally tough, couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

He didn't know what to do next.

He was currently the weakest in the class, and he knew that the Second Shinobi World War was about to break out. It might not be long before the war began, and no one would hold back because someone was a child.

Compared with the peaceful era of Konoha in the future, the ninja world in this era was particularly bloody and cruel.

"Okay, Seishi, keep working hard. I believe that as long as you don't give up, you will succeed someday."

The teacher in the class thought for a moment and then patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Seishi, even if he was mature, was still a child in the eyes of the teacher, and he couldn't say too cruel words.

But he knew that Chiba Seishi might be like this for the rest of his life.

Although there were ninjas who could succeed with only taijutsu in the ninja world, they were extremely rare.

Moreover, Chiba Seishi's talent for taijutsu was not much better than his talent for ninjutsu.

Looking at the disappointed and unwilling Chiba Seishi in front of him, the boys in the class showed a hint of gloating.

Although Chiba Seishi's ninja talent was basically non-existent, he ranked last in the class, but he was too handsome. The girls in the class surrounded him every day.

Naturally, this made Chiba Seishi the public enemy of the boys in the class.

"Alright, Seishi, don't be disheartened. Even if your talent isn't great, have you forgotten about me?"

"As long as you stick with Jiraiya-sama in the future, I guarantee that you'll never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

The person speaking was another person who was always at the bottom of the rankings besides Chiba Seishi.

Ignoring Jiraiya's words, Chiba Seishi returned to his seat expressionlessly.

Just as he sat down, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Ding! The time limit has been reached, and the infinite lottery system has awakened.]

[The host is now being given ten beginner draws. Does the host choose to draw?]

Without hesitation, he silently murmured a "yes" in his mind.

After all, as a transmigrator who had read so many novels in his past life, he knew that this was most likely the legendary system.

[Ding! The lottery is complete. The host has won a bowl of Ichiraku ramen!]

[Ding! The lottery is complete. The host has won a pair of black stockings!]

...

[Ding! The lottery is complete. The host has won a mid-level chakra!]

...

[Ding! The lottery is complete. The host has won the A-rank ninjutsu Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!]

[Ding! The lottery is complete. The host has won the Time Fruit!]

As he looked at the random things the system drew before him, Chiba Seishi couldn't help but feel speechless.

What were all these random items?

Did he not have the legendary "newcomer halo"?

It wasn't until he saw the items drawn towards the end that he felt slightly better.

[The system can conduct daily lotteries, and the rewards drawn are completely random. (Friendly reminder: the longer the accumulated time, the more rewards the host may obtain.)]

Sneaking the Time Fruit out of his pocket, Chiba Seishi looked at the fruit with its strange patterns and a hint of curiosity crossed his face.

Was this the legendary Devil Fruit?

But he remembered that he had never seen anything like this in the anime he watched in his past life.

With an excited heart, he took a bite of the Devil Fruit.

"Oh my god!..."

His face turned green instantly.

If he had any doubts about whether this was a Devil Fruit before, he was now one hundred percent sure that this was a Devil Fruit from the world of pirates!

How else could he feel like he was eating "gold" after consuming it?

He tried to suppress the urge to vomit and managed to swallow the entire Devil Fruit.

After eating it, he immediately learned from the system how incredibly powerful his Devil Fruit was.

Since ancient times, there has always been the saying that "time is king, and space is emperor."

And the Devil Fruit he just consumed was related to time.

As he awakened further, his control over time became stronger.

As for him now, he could already control the flow of time by about five times.

However, he still had limited control over the fruit, so he could only use it on himself.

Even so, Chiba Seishi couldn't imagine how insane his powers were with this most basic ability.

In other words, he could now use this fruit to speed up his own training, giving him 120 hours in a day instead of just 24 like others.

Not to mention, if he could use time acceleration in combat, how terrifying would that be?

Just imagine the spectacular scene if someone like Yoru Kairō used Eight Gates along with time acceleration in the future.
