Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito with the System

The truth was, the Third Hokage didn't decide to mentor Obito just because of the Sexy Jutsu.

In Konoha, no high-ranking ninja would falter from such a test.

His decision stemmed from deeper considerations.

Obito, though impulsive, had undeniable potential.

What's more, he was technically a part of the Third's own group.

And then there was Obito's unusual background...

Taking everything into account, the Third Hokage felt it was worth investing some time and energy into this boy.

Hiruzen stood up slowly, stretching his body with a satisfying groan.

"Well, that's the last of today's paperwork. What a tiring day…"

He took off his Hokage robes, revealing a simple black outfit underneath, and headed outside.

At the door, an ANBU member respectfully asked,

"Hokage-sama, shall we accompany you?"

Hiruzen waved his hand with a chuckle.

"No need. You all can take a break."

Who would dare attack him in his own village?

Stepping out of the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen soon spotted Obito loitering idly in the distance.

With a warm smile, he called out, "Obito! Come here. Grandpa's taking you to train in ninjutsu."

Obito blinked in surprise before jogging over.

"Hokage Grandpa, you finished all that paperwork already? That's amazing!"

Hiruzen stroked his goatee, laughing heartily.

"Haha, handling paperwork is the bare minimum for a Hokage. Come on, let's head to the training grounds in the west of the village."

As they walked, villagers greeted Hiruzen along the way.

He returned every greeting with a kind smile, carrying none of the airs of a leader, more like a benevolent elder.

Obito muttered under his breath, "Being Hokage seems like a tough job…"

At the training grounds, Hiruzen stood before Obito, contemplating for a moment before speaking.

"Today, I'll teach you the Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears."

He explained, "This technique channels chakra into the earth, condensing rock and soil into sharp spikes to pierce enemies from below. The key is…"

As expected of the "Professor," Hiruzen's detailed and straightforward explanation left Obito wide-eyed.

Who knew ninjutsu could be taught like this?

After a few demonstrations, Hiruzen smiled and said, "Alright, Obito, give it a try."

"Yes!"

Obito formed the seals and slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!"

A gentle breeze swept through the training grounds.

Nothing happened.

"Uh…" Obito scratched his head.

Was it because I didn't shout loud enough? Or maybe I didn't hit the ground hard enough?

He tried again, shouting louder this time.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!" Thud!

An awkward silence fell as a lone crow cawed and flew by.

Obito clutched his sore hand. "Ouch… That hurt, T-T!"

Hiruzen couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't be discouraged, Obito. The Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears isn't easy to master. It's perfectly normal not to succeed on your first try."

Glancing at the time, Hiruzen smiled.

"Alright, Obito, keep practicing here. I've got some other matters to attend to."

He patted Obito's shoulder. "When you've mastered this jutsu, come find me, and I'll teach you another one."

As he walked away, Hiruzen thought, Finally, an early end to my workday. I can enjoy some personal time tonight.

"Okay…" Obito nodded, watching the Hokage leave. Just as he prepared to focus on his practice, a familiar screen appeared in his mind.

[Choices:]

[1. Tell the Third Hokage, "Actually, I was just messing with you earlier. I've already mastered this jutsu!" Reward: Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears.]

[2. Tell the Third Hokage, "This jutsu is way too easy! Can't you teach me something more advanced?" Reward: Unknown.]

[3. Tell the Third Hokage, "Thank you so much! My grandma just brewed some new fruit wine. I'll bring you a couple jars later." Reward: Dutiful Descendant.]

[Dutiful Descendant: When assisting elders, all stats increase by 5%.]

Obito quickly scanned the options.

Unknown reward? That sounds like a trap. Pass!

Dutiful Descendant? Feels a bit off… Pass!

Option one it is!

Without hesitation, Obito called out, "Hokage Grandpa, wait!"

Hiruzen turned around, curious. "What is it, Obito?"

Obito grinned. "Actually, I was just messing with you earlier. I've already mastered the jutsu!"

"Oh?" The Third Hokage raised an eyebrow.

[Choice selected! Reward obtained: Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!]

The moment the reward activated, Obito formed seals and slammed his hands on the ground.

"Watch this! Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!"

"Shhhht!"

A series of sharp spikes shot up from the earth, rising nearly three meters high.

Hiruzen's expression froze.

He really mastered it? This boy's talent rivals even Orochimaru's… But his personality…

Glancing at the time again, Hiruzen chuckled. 

"Well then, let me teach you another jutsu: Earth Release: Earth Spear Jutsu. It's similar to the Earth Flow Spears but involves a slightly different chakra manipulation…"

After another thorough demonstration, Hiruzen let Obito try.

Despite flailing around for a while, Obito couldn't quite get the hang of it this time.

"Phew…"

Relieved that Obito didn't master it instantly, Hiruzen smiled and prepared to leave.

But just as he turned, Obito called out again, "Hokage Grandpa…"

With a sigh, Hiruzen turned back. "Obito, don't tell me you were messing with me again?"

Obito laughed sheepishly. "No, no. I just wanted to thank you for your guidance today."

Hiruzen was momentarily taken aback but then smiled warmly.

"This is what grandpas are for. Take care, Obito."

"Goodbye, Grandpa!"

That evening, Danzo returned to the Root in high spirits.

But the sight of a towering stack of paperwork on his desk darkened his mood instantly.

"What is this, and why is it on my desk?"

A kneeling Root member respectfully replied,

"These documents were sent from the Hokage's office. They said the Hokage had something come up and entrusted you to handle them."

Danzo frowned. "Hiruzen… What could be so urgent?"

The Root member answered, "The Hokage was seen earlier training Uchiha Obito at the village training grounds."

Danzo's frustration boiled over.

"Hiruzen, you take all the glory while leaving me with the thankless work!"

Slamming his hand on the desk, he muttered bitterly,

"The cursed Uchiha clan… Always troublemakers!"

"Bring me a lamp. I'm staying here tonight!"

One man, one pen, one long night…
