[SYSTEM NOTIFICATION]
CONGRATULATIONS USER FOR SURVIVING OBITO UCHIHA'S ASSAULT.
REWARDS:
MAJOR SPACE AFFINITY.
MAJOR ENHANCED REFLEXES -> EXTREME ENHANCED REFLEXES.
+3 LEVELS.]
Ren pumped his fist in the air as he saw the rewards.
The three level-ups were great on their own, but what truly caught his attention was the Major Space Affinity.
'Space Affinity is one of the rarest elements in the entire Naruto universe. Only a select few have it, like Tobirama, Minato, Obito, Kakashi, and Sasuke. I can't think of anyone else who naturally possesses it, and now I have it. Not just basic or minor, but major-level affinity!'
The moment the reward was given, Ren felt something shift around him. The area around him seemed different, distorted in a way he couldn't quite put his finger on. 'It feels weird. Almost like I can sense something that wasn't there before. I guess I need to increase my mastery over the space element before I can properly understand it.'
He then moved on to the second part of the reward:
Enhanced Reflexes → Extreme Enhanced Reflexes
Ren's grin widened. His reflexes had already proven themselves when he fought Obito, but now they had advanced to an even higher level. 'This is my first extreme talent. If my reflexes were impressive before, now they must be on another level entirely. I need to test this out later.'
Ren couldn't help but feel proud. These rewards made the risk he took during the fight worthwhile. After a moment of collecting himself, he moved on to the last reward.
[SYSTEM NOTIFICATION]
CONGRATULATIONS, USER, FOR MAKING A CHANGE IN THE CANON-REVELATION OF OBITO UCHIHA'S ABILITIES BEFORE TIME.
REWARDS:
Space Mastery - 25% (Basic)
As the notification appeared, Ren felt the previous odd sensation intensify. It was as if he became more aware of the space around him, sensing subtle shifts and distortions in a small radius.
'It's almost like a sensory ability, but it's different from typical sensory techniques. It's purely spatial awareness.'
Ren took a deep breath, steadying himself as the new knowledge settled in. 'Honestly, I thought I'd get a higher reward for revealing Obito's abilities so much earlier. But if I think about it, the system only rewards based on the outcome of the change.'
He pondered for a moment. 'Just because his abilities are known now doesn't mean anyone can do anything about it. Maybe top-tier fighters like Jiraiya could defend themselves or sneak in a hit, but truly defeating Obito would still be nearly impossible. The only one who could have done it was Minato, who is already dead; aside from him, maybe only the Raikage could react to Obito. So the real change is just that his abilities are now known, not that anyone can counter him yet."
Once Ren was done claiming all the rewards, he moved on to allocating the 10 Jonin Level Points he had received.
Thanks to the three level-ups he had just obtained, every stat had already increased by 3 points. His current level was 46, with his lowest stat being Strength at 46. His highest stat, on the other hand, was Vitality, which had now reached 61 after including the level-up bonuses.
Ren had always prioritized Vitality ever since he found out that having a higher Vitality compared to his trainable stats allowed him to train them (STR and AGI) at a faster pace. Additionally, Vitality and Chakra were also connected since every 3 points in Vitality resulted in 1 point in Chakra.
With that reasoning in mind, he allocated 6 points to vitality.
[VIT +6]
[CHA +2]
Since the 6 vitality points granted him 2 additional chakra points, he used the remaining 4 points directly on Chakra, maximizing his chakra reserves.
[CHA +4]
Once done, he opened the system panel.

His Vitality had now reached 67, making it more than 21 points higher than his Strength. This gap would allow him to rapidly increase his strength through training, as his enhanced vitality would support the physical strain.
His Chakra was now at 66, which he felt was sufficient for the time being. Considering that his most powerful techniques were B-rank jutsus, each using less than 500 chakra points, he estimated that even A-rank jutsus would require under 1000 points. Only S-rank techniques would likely demand more than that.
In the near future he had plans for learning Rasengan, which is a super advanced A-rank jutsu, and landing even one hit would be game over for anyone who is not a high-level jonin or those without weird healing abilities, like Kabuto.
Although he wasn't entirely sure how much chakra the Rasengan would consume, he felt confident that his reserves would be enough for at least a few powerful bursts.
Next, he checked his mastery panel. There weren't many changes except for the newly added affinities and abilities. He noticed that he now had 3 intermediate-level mastery points and 5 advanced-level mastery points.
Ren decided to save these points for crucial abilities like Yang Release and Space Release, and the Yin Release he would eventually unlock. He couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled about why he hadn't unlocked Yin Release yet, despite his Genjutsu improving significantly.
'Maybe I'm missing something, or perhaps I haven't met the right conditions yet. Either way, I just have to be patient.'
Unfortunately, he didn't have any Beginner Level Mastery Points right now; if he did, he would have definitely used them to boost his Yang Release Mastery.
Satisfied with his progress and having confirmed all the changes, Ren closed the system interface and slept.
~~~~~
Ren woke up the next morning, completed his morning training, and returned home since there was no scheduled training for the day. After taking a bath, he joined his father, Juichi, for breakfast. They chatted casually while eating, and as he finished first, Juichi stood up to leave for work.
Juichi said, "Alright, brat, I'll head to work. Take care, and if you feel unwell, check in with Utakata
Just before heading out, Juichi tossed a scroll to Ren, who caught it effortlessly. "Oh, and here I've seen how you abuse shadow clones, so this will be more helpful to you. Remember, though, this is a forbidden jutsu, so use it cautiously."
Ren opened the scroll and was pleasantly surprised to find it contained the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu an advanced version of the B-rank Shadow Clone Jutsu. This technique allowed the user to create numerous solid clones, with the chakra equally divided among them.
Excited by the new technique, Ren quickly finished his breakfast and headed to the basement to test it out. After carefully reading the scroll and memorizing the hand signs (which were the same as the normal Shadow Clone Jutsu), he decided to start small.
He made two clones, noticing that his chakra immediately dropped to 2200/6600 exactly one-third of his total. Satisfied with the result, he released the jutsu and regained his chakra.
Checking his Mastery Panel, he noticed that his mastery of the original Shadow Clone Jutsu had been replaced with Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu at 60% (Intermediate), a significant drop from the 80% (Advanced) mastery he previously had. Curious, he tested making normal clones and found that he could still perform them just as efficiently, meaning that the system had simply substituted the higher-level technique while retaining his original progress.
A system notification appeared in front of his eyes.
[CONGRATULATION USER FOR LEARNING YOUR FIRST FORBIDDEN JUTSU. REWARD:
2 MASTER LEVEL MASTERY POINT (CAN INCREASE THE MASTERY AT MASTER LEVEL BY 2%)]
His eyes widened slightly as he saw the reward, this was the first reward he had gotten for master level but it was of no use to him for now since he didn't even have any mastery at the Master level so he just left it as it is.
Once he was done checking the jutsu and the reward he started making clones for the day's practice. This time, he made six clones, each with 1100 chakra points, since he couldn't yet distribute chakra unevenly before he reached advanced mastery, he had the Intermediate level mastery points but he didn't dump them into the jutsu since there was no need.
Three clones focused on his elemental affinities: Wind, Earth, and Fire. The wind and earth clone had jutsus to practice but he made a clone for fire style to see what kind of information he has for the fire release and how he would develop it in the future.
One clone dedicated itself to Yang Release training and another worked on Space Release mastery with the same purpose as the clone made for fire release
The final clone divided into 11 clones to practice Fuinjutsu.
With all his clones efficiently assigned to different tasks, Ren went outside to continue his physical training.
He went to training ground 1 to continue his physical training since it was the perfect place and no one would poke around unnecessarily. Once there he saw it was empty and neither Yugao nor Hitoshi were there for training, even though it was an off day he believed training would be better than rest for now. Not minding it he began his training.
Since his Vitality was significantly higher than his Strength and Agility, his body was already conditioned to endure intense training. He decided to start with normal strength-building exercises but in high numbers like 500 push-ups, 500 squats etc.
After completing his strength exercises, he moved on to Speed and Agility Drills. Since he had done high speed huge weight running in the early morning he did training for increasing his speed in small distance for instant high speed.
He also made a clone which divided itself in more and all of them threw pebbles, stones, kunais and shurikens at Ren. He did this to test his Extreme Enhanced Reflexes and to get used to them, sometimes he could also feel the attack coming from a distance which was likely a result of the space affinity he got.
After completing his physical routine, Ren took a moment to sit under the shade of a tree and catch his breath. Then after a little while he activated the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu again and summoned two clones to practice Taijutsu Sparring with him. The sparring was fast-paced, and Ren was pleasantly surprised by how naturally his body moved and reacted to attacks.
'My reflexes are on another level now. I can almost predict their movements. If I can integrate this spatial awareness into my fighting style, I might be able to counter even faster and stronger opponents.'
When the clones dispersed, their experience flowed back to him. His body felt a little sore but nothing his vitality couldn't handle.
As Ren was about to sit down and relax, he suddenly sensed movement behind him. Instinctively, he closed the gap in an instant and pointed his claws at the intruder.
The masked figure remained unfazed, not even flinching at Ren's swift assault. It was an ANBU ninja, who spoke, "Ren Takahashi, you are being called to the Hokage's office."
Before Ren could respond, the ANBU flickered away. Ren relaxed his stance, retracting his claws.
He wasn't particularly worried about his reaction, any shinobi would have done the same if they sensed a presence sneaking up on them.
Realizing that the summons might be related to the mission rewards, Ren straightened his clothes and set off toward the Hokage Building.
{Juichi is the real bro, he just casually drops a forbidden jutsu for his 8 years old kid.}
{A/N:- And we are done with the rewards. I think the rewards were good, neither too OP nor too shabby but still tell me what you think.
Also, since majority of you guys wants him to take the Chunin Exams when he is 10 then it shall be done.
BUT do not complain in the future because I will have to introduce new arcs and characters. These arcs would be made in such that they don't affect the canon so the system rewards won't be very high for this period.
I think the original arcs would be helpful in making the story much more enjoyable than simply waiting for canon so 10 years it is.}
