[Unlock Condition: Charged Punch skill proficiency reaches Master level]
The system divides skill proficiency into a total of 8 stages:
Beginner, Entry-Level, Mastery, Proficient, Expert, Master, Grandmaster, and Godlike.
Generally speaking, the higher the proficiency, the deeper your understanding of the skill.
At the same time, as skill proficiency increases, the skill's power also grows.
If this ninjutsu requires hand seals, then the hand seal speed will also become faster and faster.
In short, the higher the proficiency, the more awesome the skills and ninjutsu.
If the proficiency is very low, even if you learn Nagato's Chibaku Tensei, you probably won't be able to unleash the terrifying power seen in the original story.
And proficiency can't be obtained through other means; the only way to improve it is through hard training.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Naraku wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the sun, which was already beginning to set.
It was going to get dark again before she knew it; time always slipped away unnoticed.
A day of hard training left Naraku somewhat tired. She packed up her things and silently walked out of the forest.
The sky grew darker, and Uchiha Naraku walked on a path through the woods.
What Uchiha Naraku didn't know was that in front of her, a Kumogakure Chunin was ambushing on the branches of a large tree, watching Naraku with a sinister gaze.
"Heh heh, just my type."
The Kumogakure ninja looked at the six or seven-year-old girl and couldn't help but lick his lips.
"How old is this little girl? She's already so beautiful. The Uchiha clan really does produce beautiful women. If I capture her, I should be able to get a lot of rewards."
He silently transformed into a small twig, waiting for her to pass by. He would "accidentally" break it, and then quickly sneak-attack and knock out the little girl.
As for why the twig would suddenly break?
Come on, she's only six or seven years old. Even if she had two brains, she wouldn't notice such a small detail.
Watching the girl approach without any defense, the Kumogakure Chunin became even more excited.
Just as the girl got close enough, his plan went smoothly.
He saw a gentle breeze, and his heart leaped with joy; even the heavens were on his side.
The wind blowing made the broken branch much more believable.
Just as Uchiha Naraku passed beneath him.
The "branch" naturally snapped.
So close now, he was getting closer and closer to the girl's back. Sure enough, she was completely unguarded.
"Come with me quietly!"
A puff of white smoke appeared, and the Kumogakure Chunin revealed his true form.
It was only then that the girl heard the sound and turned back in alarm.
"It's too late to realize it now!"
The Kumogakure Chunin swiftly brought a hand blade down towards the girl's seemingly delicate neck.
"Charged Punch!"
The girl's panicked expression vanished instantly.
"??"
What's going on? In that instant, the Kumogakure Chunin realized something was wrong. Was the girl's panicked expression a pretense?
But as he said, it was too late to realize it now.
His hand blade had already landed squarely on Uchiha Naraku's neck.
Indeed, things weren't as smooth as he'd imagined. His hand chop landed...
The sensation wasn't at all like striking a neck. It felt as if he'd hit a rock.
Impossible… I've been tricked…
This was the Chunin from Kumogakure's truest sentiment at that moment.
The Charged Punch finished charging, and the petite fist instantly shot towards him.
Even though it was a little girl, the momentum made him feel as though he was facing a rampaging beast.
I have to dodge!
He was truly worthy of his rich combat experience. He quickly tilted his head, and actually managed to dodge the small fist.
But, what he didn't expect was the terrifying fist wind that followed.
He was still sent flying.
Bang! Bang!
The first tree he crashed into snapped instantly. He didn't cough up blood until he hit the second tree.
How could this be? He clearly dodged it.
He didn't have time to think. Even though his chest felt like it was on fire and his whole body ached intensely, he couldn't just sit and wait for death. Long years of combat experience told him he had to fight back now, or he would die even faster.
But he had just formed a hand seal.
"Subdue the Enemy."
"Nani?"
Uchiha Naraku moved with incredible speed, instantly appearing before the Kumogakure ninja.
Her left fist slammed into his face without hesitation. Then, Uchiha Naraku's right fist, boosted eightfold by Battlefield Ardor, moved with even greater speed.
"Bang! Argh!"
"Bang! Argh!"
"Bang bang!"
"Argh!"
"Bang bang, argh argh, bang bang, argh!"
Now that the Kumogakure ninja was no longer moving, it was clear he was dead, facing Uchiha Naraku's relentless attacks.
After a few seconds, the Kumogakure ninja slumped lifelessly to the ground. His face was a bloody mess; he was undoubtedly dead.
Before he acted, he probably never dreamed he would die in Konohagakure at the hands of a little girl.
"Whew."
Uchiha Naraku took a deep breath; she was really very nervous.
She had already sensed something was wrong when the branch snapped.
When the enemy slashed at her, she had originally planned to use the Substitution Technique to escape.
But perhaps her proficiency was too low; the Substitution Technique actually failed!
Luckily, the skills that came with the System's Sett Card, which granted the physique of The Unrivaled Sett, didn't require hand seals.
That's how she managed to knock the other person away with Charged Punch.
In the end, Naraku, who was incredibly nervous, was afraid the other person wasn't dead yet, so she followed up with another seven or eight punches before stopping.
That was also the reason why she beat the person into such a sorry state.
It seems I need to practice more with Uchiha Itachi next time to gain more combat experience.
Naraku wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
This actual combat experience also gave her a more direct impression of her own strength.
Slightly stronger than a regular Chunin.
That's the extent of my current abilities. Although I won cleanly this time...
Uchiha Naraku knew she had a significant advantage.
First, her appearance. Her little girl form was extremely deceptive.
Second, the enemy's objective was to capture her alive. This was evident from the fact that they didn't use kunai or ninja swords in their attacks.
It seems I still need to work harder.
What should I do now? Are there any other Kumogakure ninjas nearby?
I need to report this immediately.
Even though Konohagakure and Kumogakure are currently at war, the infiltration of a Kumogakure ninja into Konohagakure is still a major incident.
Just as Uchiha Naraku was about to leave the scene, a figure rapidly approached from the forest.
"Damn it, how could this happen? Once I catch you, I'll make your life a living hell!"
A ninja, also wearing a Kumogakure forehead protector, was instantly enraged upon seeing his unrecognizable companion.
Moreover, this ninja's speed truly startled Naraku.
This speed and momentum were absolutely not comparable to the previous guy.
This feeling… that's right, this kid is a Kumogakure Jonin!
