"Host, you should stabilise your cultivation as you have jumped through multiple levels of your body realm, your body has 3% chance of collapsing"

"Ugh what happened?" Fang Li said while groaning, clutching his head with both hands.

"Host has had a lucky encounter, your consciousness has delved into the 4th dimensional realm, which was powered by the whitefire rose"

"Wait, the rose?" Fang Li said in confusion before looking at his body, it was smooth and clean, no injuries could be seen at all, he was awestricken as he saw that he now had more mass, his body was no longer skinny, scrawny with visible bones behind his skin.

"The thousand-year-old whitefire rose has completely healed you of any injuries that you had, it also boosted your human body cultivation, the mass influx of energy has triggered a one in one million chance to experience a enlightenment, but because of that, most of the energy was used to fuel that enlightenment, you would had jumped from human body level 2 to level 9, instead of level 2 to level 5"

"Wait what!" He got up in shock, one of the mission requirement could had been completed then and there, he couldn't help but complain inwardly, if he could choose, he would not take the enlightenment, and take the influx of energy to his body instead.

Fang Li couldn't help but look around in confusion, he was in a unfamiliar room, a small squared apartment made of bamboo and paper, he was sleeping on a warm comfy bed but didn't know how he got there. He opened up one of the paper curtain door, and then he started to walk out into the open, there in his sight was a huge courtyard with multiple rooms nearby, in the middle of the courtyard was a stone slap with blood on it, he could help but walk up to it to touch, the blood was dry but doesn't feel that old, maybe half a day old.

"Ah you're awake" Fang Li flinched at that voice, jumping into battle mode for preparation, looking around for that person who spoke.

"Is that how you act towards your saviour, hummpft" An old croaky voice appeared behind him, Fang Li couldn't help but turn around in shock, he didn't sense anyone in the courtyard before, yet someone was already behind him, it was a weird hunched down old lady which a walking stick, she was a little bit familiar.

"Granny Tzuki?" He said unsurely after wracking his brain around for old memories.

"Hummpft, you sure look different than before, tsk tsk, your old man sure hid the fact that you can cultivate deeply" She said while sneering, but a sense of lost could be heard briefly in her voice when she mentioned Fang Li's grandfather.

"Thank you for saving me" He said while bowing in a 45 degrees pose respectfully.

"Ok, enough stop bowing, you wouldn't had been in that state if it wasn't for me" she said while poking the wooden cane at Fang Li's head.

"Ow" He said while rubbing his head, a small red mark could be seen, he then paused in deep thought, thinking of what happened before he got knocked out, replaying that scene at again, he seems to have seen an old wrinkly palm hitting his chest, then thought about what Granny Tzuki said recently.

'So, it was granny who attacked me at that time' He froze in realisation before turning to her.

"Teach me how to fight please!" He said out loud while kowtowing onto the ground, this wasn't a impulsive choice, but he was awed at her skills, he didn't even sense her coming up behind him just then, a testimony to her skills.

"Hummmpft, it’s enough for me to let you stay in my courtyard, and you used my precious thousand year old whitefire rose, but you’re asking me to teach you... that's too much, I don't have much time to play with you, I'm going to work" She said in a lecturing tone, throwing him a shiny bronze house key, before disappearing into one of the doors, leaving a dumbfounded boy all alone.

'Your whitefire rose? Pah, shameless!' He thought annoyingly before turning his mind towards the Naruto System.

"You said that I have a 3% chance of collapsing, what does that mean?" He said towards the system.

"Host, there is a chance that your body will cave in due to impurities in your body, a 3% that you can be crippled in 24 hours, and also you need to expel the impurities out or else it will be harmful for your future cultivation, which will make it harder for you to advance to higher realms"

"Oh, do you have any recommendation for me?" Fang Li said urgently, although there is an extremely low chance of a collapse would happen, he thought it would be best to resolve any issues immediately so that nothing would go wrong in the future.

"Host can do pure body training, do not take any outside substance and only do hardcore body training exercise to naturally expel the impurities out" 

"Easy enough" He thought before looking at his clothes his Rock Lee uniform was battered with holes and blood.

Pay 25 Shinobi Points to repair Rock Lee uniform? Yes/No

"Errr, yes" He agreed after careful thinking, he now knows that clothing’s bought by the systems can be repaired by the systems with shinobi points, maybe weapons can also be repaired by the system, Fang Li now only has 50 points left.

He navigated out of the courtyard and into the main hallway, rushing out of the front door, granny Tzuki briefly said he could stay here, and even gave him a house key, so he didn't have to worry about being alone anymore, and its more safe to sleep in the village, than at his old cabin where he would be all alone, he knew that his grandfather was the one to protect him out in the forest all this time, but he is gone now.

Walking out of the house, he couldn't help but squint his eyes as the glaring sun shine brightly in the sky. A big town could be seen through his eyes, people of all shapes, colours and size had smiles on their faces, chatting to each other in a friendly tone, as Fang Li walked through the town, everyone couldn't help but look towards him, stopping what they were doing.

It was too quiet and awkward quiet for him so he upped his pace, but as he was walking to the exit of the village, everyone smiled and nodded towards him, some children even ran up to him, running around him in circles with laughter, but before he could leave, many older villagers came up to him with request, such as finding a particular herb they needed, or help with other things, some things such as clearing out dangerous creatures nearby.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Fang Li naturally agreed since it would help with the third mission.

Mission 3:  Raise your status in Huzan Village (10% Satisfaction) (1/30 days)

He couldn't help but stare at the satisfaction, its already at 10%, maybe because his good deeds had spread throughout the whole village, he couldn't help but smile, this is the kind of missions he wanted, something positive. Fang Li then left the village after playing with the kids a little, they were a little bit sad, but he did say that he would return soon, that made them happy again, he then left the sights of the villagers by rushing into the forest, but what he didn't know, was that a human shaped shadow followed him sneakily.

...........

One hour later

A rushing roaring sound of something like a celestial dragon, ringed in Fang Li ears, a harsh strong pressure was pushing down on him with tonnes of force, he was standing under a small waterfall, taking the immense pressure which was pressuring his body, this was an exercise he thought of which can be called pure body training, perhaps when he is in a higher realm, he might have to find a mega waterfall with many folds more pressure to train his body.

He had been under the waterfall for half an hour before rushing out to safety, his skin was red with bruises, but he was smiling with joy, his 5th level body was growing stronger and more stable.

"Come out" He suddenly said while looking at a distance bush, holding onto his kunai with wariness.

"Wait, it's me Ling Tong!" She said while jumping out of the bush, looking a little bit frightened.

"Why are you here? Your parents would be worried for you" He said in a lecturing tone.

"It's ok, I told them that I would following you around" She said shyly with her head down, like she had done something wrong.

"Well, I'm training right now, maybe you should go back" He said to her to which she replied while kowtowing.

"Please teach me how to fight, although I'm just an ordinary mortal, I want to learn how to protect myself!" 

This was all so sudden, he couldn't help but think towards the system, 'Can you repair her cultivation meridians with chakra coils like how you did with me?'

'Host, that is within my capabilities, but it will cost 5000 Shinobi Points per meridians transformation, and, you can buy her anything from the General Store and the Doujutsu Store, but you can't order her anything from the Ninjutsu Store, instead you would have to buy the jutsu yourselves, and then teach her yourself'

'5000 Shinobi Points! That is way too much,' Fang Li thought, but looking at the kowtowing girl, she was whole heartedly serious, he was moved by her determination as she clenched her hand in a fist, digging her nails into the ground, she wanted to learn how to fight, and was determined to do so, so who was he to not pass down his knowledge? 

"Ok I can teach you the basic, but it’s up to you to keep up" He said while motioning her to get up.

Today was a long day, besides rushing in and out of the waterfall to temper his body, he also helped give pointers to Ling Tong body training, he told her to do hundreds of push-ups, sit-ups, burpees, and to switch between jogging and running around the forest, days after days she tempered her body, and he did the same, he is now able to do push-ups under the waterfall, he also carried a huge rock weighing 200kg while running alongside her.

He taught her the cloak of invisibility to which he regretted because she used her newfound skill to prank him and the villagers, she doesn't have the faintest presence, she even made some cloak suited to different environments, her favourite is the village housing walls so she can sneak into people’s houses and steal their undergarment, thus creating a mysterious rumour of a panty thief amongst the villagers, they began to hide their panties with more vigilant.

Fang Li was very impressed with her skills, but still reprimanded her for placing all those panties in his old cabin, he stayed at his old cabin in the forest if he trained too hard, but when he needs something, or delivering something, he goes back to the village, and just rest at Granny Tzuki Courtyard, he hasn't seen her again since that last time which made him feel regretful as he wanted her to teach him a trick or two.

His satisfactory percentage for his third mission has gone up from 10% to 26% due to constant delivery of herbs and materials to the villagers, but Fang Li complained that this was going too slow, so he decided to ask around for what they urgently needed, and two things were mentioned, getting rid of the surrounding creatures and getting rid of hidden bandits, he decided to do this after he solves the problem with his body.

Fang Li wanted to take his apprentice Ling Tong along with him to fight, not because he was being brutal but because she was too talented, ninjas in the shinobi world doesn't have cultivation, unable to expand their energy pool or upgrade their body to immortality, but still they can grow strong enough to battle against gods without cultivation, but since Ling Tong can't cultivate or use chakra yet, her capabilities is limited, but still, didn't Rock Lee have a tiny chakra pool, unable to use ninjitsu? But he could still battle against powerful people.

Ling Tong would be fine as long as she trained hard and she is training hard, she has already mastered the cloak of invisibility, and the rope escaping techniques, she was also taught shuriken skills, Rock Lee's Dynamic Entry and Leaf Whirlwind.

Fang spent his last 50 Points on five shuriken’s, she was given all five because Fang Li has his D- Rank Ninjutsu Skill, Water Release, Water Shuriken so he doesn't need any real shuriken’s for now, he taught her the Manipulative Shuriken Technique and Manipulative Shuriken Wire Binding, she borrowed the thin wires from the village to perform these techniques.

Her routine was basically, body strengthening training, pranking with invisibility cloak, shuriken throwing training then hand to hand combat, she was a genius with the shuriken and wires, she was able to throw accurately pretty early on the training, and using the wires she was able to bend the weapon to her will, her and Fang Li also sparred a few times, of course Fang Li limited himself down to only using taijutsu, she was able to scratch him once with the shuriken, and had almost trapped him with the wires, she was a genius in this aspect, but still not as talented as Itachi, but why compare to the two, Itachi was a monster.

Her taijutsu was lacking, unable to use the two Rock Lee technique properly, her body strength is not up to par yet, but her shurikenjutsu techniques makes up for lack off power, Fang Li vowed to buy her more shurikens when he get more Shinobi Points.

Fang Li believed that if Ling Tong was in trouble, she could use her cloak of invisibility skill to hide or run away, and so after 7 days of training, Fang Li finally solved the problem with his body, with the constant daily pressure of the waterfall he pushed his body cultivation from level 5 to 6, expelling black purities from his body.

He was now ready to start some small fights against some beast and bandits, taking the eager Ling Tong with him to the distant forest.
