Konoha Hospital.
Tian Yuan opened his eyes and stared up at the bright ceiling and familiar surroundings.
Alright, I'm hospitalized again, he thought.
"Um, Tian Yuan, you're awake." A girl's voice drew his gaze—Shizune, Tsunade's attendant.
"Tian Yuan, are you feeling all right?" Shizune hurried over.
"Oh, I'm fine." Tian Yuan shifted; he felt no pain. Tsunade's medical ninjutsu had healed him.
"That's good. I'm Shizune. But sneaking into the women's bathhouse this afternoon was wrong—don't blame Tsunade-sama; she personally treated you." Shizune chided gently.
"Don't worry, I understand." Tian Yuan recalled Tsunade's harsh discipline. Better not dwell on it. At least he had completed one fragment reception—he wondered what he'd gained.
"I'll fetch Lord Jiraiya and Tsunade-sama." Shizune said, then left.
Moments later, the Lecherous Sage and busty Tsunade appeared before Tian Yuan.
"Kid, why imitate Jiraiya?" Tsunade scolded as she entered.
"Uh…" Tian Yuan stayed quiet. He couldn't admit he'd been gathering a Player System signal.
"Little brother, don't be afraid. Big brother is here." Jiraiya grinned beside him.
Tian Yuan wanted to protest—since when was Jiraiya his big brother?
"Lord Lecherous Sage, I…" Tian Yuan began, but Jiraiya cut him off.
"Tian Yuan, you look tired. Get some rest."
"I feel great." Tian Yuan tested his limbs.
"You should still rest. Tsunade's strength isn't mild. It took me ages to recover." Jiraiya shuddered.
Tsunade glared at Jiraiya and smiled wickedly. Jiraiya's body trembled—he'd spoken too freely.
In truth, Tian Yuan's wounds had been superficial. If Tsunade had truly unleashed her strength, surviving would have been miraculous.
"Big brother, I'm off. Rest well, little brother." Jiraiya waved and departed.
"Rest up, little one." Tsunade followed.
"Um, Tian Yuan, goodbye." Shizune's face reflected the bathhouse scene, and she quickly left.
"They all left already?" Tian Yuan blinked at the empty room. "I didn't get to speak!"
He felt an urge to punch something.
"All right, let's see that Standard fragment." Alone now, Tian Yuan summoned the video.
"Hokage Ninja." Tian Yuan read the fragment's title, then grinned. "Fits perfectly. I guess Hokage Ninja fragments are common here—hope it helps."
He extracted its contents at once.
Ding "You've received an Elite Genin Experience Pack. Use now?" the mechanical voice asked.
"Elite Genin Experience Pack?" Tian Yuan's eyes lit up. "I've heard of Elite Jonin, but Elite Genin?"
He confirmed usage. The timing was perfect. Even Standard fragments could yield treasures—though later he'd learn many were worthless.
Countless ninja techniques, Chakra cultivation methods, and combat tactics flooded his mind, as if he'd trained them all firsthand.
Moments later, Tian Yuan felt a surge. "My Chakra's skyrocketed. True to its name, this pack pushes me to the edge of Genin mastery—probably on par with a regular Chunin."
The pack had not only boosted his scarce Chakra to Genin limits but also imparted deep Chakra control, seal formation practice, and practical ninjutsu mastery.
He even learned new jutsu.
"Clone Technique!" Tian Yuan formed hand seals and shouted.
Puff A perfect copy of him appeared—a Shadow Clone Technique.
"Transformation Technique!" he called. Hand seals and smoke surged, and he transformed into the familiar visage of Jiraiya.
"It feels like I've trained for years." Tian Yuan nodded, dispelling his transformation.
Elite Genin could challenge average Chunin. Now he truly felt unstoppable. Ninja Academy students near graduation wouldn't stand a chance. Unless someone was similarly "modded," none could match him.
Well, he was "modded."
The next morning, the sun shone brightly on a new day.
"Tian Yuan, little brother, aren't you going to greet your big brother?" Jiraiya strolled into the hospital room, smiling.
He found only a nurse adjusting the covers.
"Huh? Where's the boy who stayed here yesterday?" Jiraiya was perplexed. Tian Yuan had no relatives—Jiraiya knew no one else would have taken him.
"That boy left early this morning to seek his fate, then departed," the nurse explained.
"He left?" Jiraiya blinked.
"But what does 'seeking his fate' even mean?" Jiraiya murmured as he left the hospital.
