C1 God Level Wood Escape Cultivation System

"Gekka Ming, you're disqualified!"

In the Grass Country orphanage, within the confines of a spacious room, dozens of children, all around five or six years old, huddled together. At the center, a woman in her mid-twenties scrutinized the medical report in her hand before declaring, with a frosty tone.

Her words hung in the air, prompting sneers of contempt from the other children. Despite their tender age, they were worldly and indifferent.

"As expected, trash will always be trash, never destined for greatness. A person's fate is sealed from birth!"

"The village has no use for the worthless. This one can't harness Chakra, has no aptitude for Body Techniques or Illusion Techniques, and is physically weaker than the average person. Might as well kill him and be done with it!"

"What a waste!"

Yang Ming, amidst the murmurs, kept his face stoic and walked away from the orphanage.

Once he was about a mile out, he couldn't resist rubbing his eyes, his face betraying utter astonishment.

"I've crossed over, and not just anywhere—I'm in the Naruto World, and I've even got a Wood Escape System bound to me!" he whispered to himself.

His name was Yang Ming, a die-hard Naruto enthusiast who had only ever fantasized about entering the world of his favorite series.

But after a car accident left him unconscious, he never imagined he'd open his eyes to find himself in that very world.

And there he was, in the Grass Country orphanage, having just gone through the talent assessment conducted for children over five.

In the Naruto World, kids grew up fast, with ninja potential assessed as early as age five.

In the Ninja World, power was everything, especially in the aftermath of the Second Great War. The land was scarred, countries battered, and it was a time for healing and rebuilding.

The Grass Country, a small nation, had been devastated. Countless civilians had perished, leaving behind a sea of orphans. The Grass Ninja had taken them in, raising them until the age of five, when their aptitude for cultivation was tested. Those with talent were kept; the rest were cast aside to fend for themselves.

The Grass Ninja have no use for loafers!

Yang Ming's body originally belonged to Gekka Ming, just an average kid who now failed every test and was scorned by everyone for his lack of talent.

Even the headmaster, Gong Lizi, had no respect for him!

"God Level Wood Escape System successfully bound!"

"Mission issued: Sit in silence beneath the tree on the bridge for one day. Reward: Beginner's Immortal Body, Strange Strength!"

"Immortal Body, Strange Strength, Wood Escape System!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming felt a surge of excitement.

"An Immortal Body, that's the ultimate physique in the world of the Hokage. With it, one can eventually reach the pinnacle and keep pace with the extraordinary!"

"Strange Strength, that must be Tsunade's incredible power. If honed to perfection, even Susanoo could be shattered with a single punch—a formidable ability indeed!"

"Wood Escape! If I had to choose my favorite ability from the Hokage universe, it would definitely be Wood Escape. Mastering it means dominating in both group fights and one-on-one duels. It's a shame that aside from Senju Hashirama and the later Uchiha Madara, no one has fully mastered it!"

"This system is truly formidable!"

With these thoughts, Yang Ming was brimming with satisfaction.

The system was indeed powerful, ensuring he wouldn't fall behind, whether in the early stages or later on.

"In the Ninja World, strength commands respect. My power is currently too feeble, barely enough for self-defense. Now that I've been identified as talentless, I risk being expelled. Without the village's protection, especially now that the Second World War has just ended, a five-year-old child like me wouldn't last long outside before meeting a fatal end!"
