NARUTO: GOD LEVEL FORGING SYSTEM

Not to mention the man who pushed his body beyond its limits—the one who nearly turned the tide of the Fourth Great Ninja War with a single kick.

Even though he had only opened six of the Eight Gates—specifically the Gate of View (Jingmon)—Might Guy could unleash devastating taijutsu techniques, such as Morning Peacock (Asakujaku).

By striking the air at immense speed, he created friction-generated flames, turning his punches into a barrage of fiery shockwaves that battered his opponents relentlessly.

In the entire ninja world, there were only a handful of shinobi who could endure such an onslaught.

Few could survive it—perhaps only legends like Madara Uchiha or the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Kazuki deeply admired the Eight Gates Release Formation (Hachimon Tonkō), a taijutsu technique classified as an S-rank ability due to its overwhelming power.

During his shuriken training, he realized a fundamental truth:

To walk further on the path of a true shinobi, mastering powerful weapons alone would never be enough.

He had to hone his body, refine his taijutsu, and develop unparalleled endurance.

Only through superior physical conditioning…

Could he wield the full power of any weapon in his hands!

"Of course it's fine!"

Might Guy planted his hands on his hips,

Flashing his signature blinding grin,

"Young ones, train with me! That's the essence of eternal youth!"

With his enthusiastic shout,

He pointed to the distance and issued their next task.

"Now, the three of you! Run around the entire Hidden Leaf Village and return here within two hours!"

"Yes!"

The three voices rang out in unison.

Kazuki, Tenten, and Rock Lee formed a team and sprinted off.

Despite being the only girl,

Tenten neither complained nor slacked off.

Her dream was to become a powerful kunoichi like Tsunade,

And she refused to lower her expectations of herself just because she was a girl.

"Hm?"

Watching their backs as they disappeared into the distance,

Might Guy's gaze locked onto Kazuki.

His pupils contracted slightly, and a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Has that boy, Kazuki, and his sister already refined their chakra?"

"And Kazuki's chakra reserves… astonishing! They rival that of a full-fledged Genin!"

"But look at him—he's just a child who recently entered the Ninja Academy."

"This kid… could he be a genius?"

…

Two hours later,

Kazuki and his teammates finally completed their lap around Konoha.

Kazuki finished first, clocking in at just 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Rock Lee arrived next, taking 1 hour and 47 minutes.

The last to finish was Tenten, whose stamina lagged behind, but she still made it in 1 hour and 58 minutes, meeting the deadline.

"Well done, boys!"

Might Guy flashed his bright, gleaming smile,

Giving them a firm thumbs-up, admiration shining in his eyes.

"That's enough training for today! Same time tomorrow—come back and continue training with me!"

"Yes, sensei!"

…

Nightfall

Back at home, Kazuki didn't even pause for dinner.

Instead, he immediately entered his forging room.

"Brother's at it again…" Tenten sighed in exasperation. "He's crazy about forging!"

Inside the forge,

Four different minerals lay before Kazuki:

Fire Stone, Moonstone, Dark Iron, and Saltpeter.

These were the necessary materials for crafting a Basic Storage Ring (Na-Ring).

In Kazuki's mind, the forging process unfolded step by step:

> Basic Storage Ring:

Forging Difficulty: ★★

Required Materials: Fire Stone, Moonstone, Dark Iron, Saltpeter

Skill: Creates a 1-cubic-meter space for storing inanimate objects.

It is worthy of being a two-star difficulty beginner ring.

Whether it is the amount of chakra-infused ore that needs to be consumed or the complexity of the forging steps, it is completely different from one-star ninja tools like the standard kunai reinforced with a basic chakra flow.

Kazuki closed his eyes,

Going through the intricate forging process again in his mind.

He recalled how skilled craftsmen in the Hidden Leaf, like Tenten's family, handled specialized ninja tools with absolute precision. After ensuring he had memorized every detail, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Start forging!"

Kazuki's eyes gleamed with determination.

He focused entirely on the anvil before him, placing a chunk of refined black iron onto the searing flames of the forge. As the metal was roasted by the intense heat, it glowed a deep red, reminiscent of the molten chakra metal used in legendary weapons like the Sword of the Thunder God.

Kazuki steadied his breath, gathered his strength, and swung the hammer in his hand.

Clang!

The hammer struck the glowing metal with a crisp, resonating sound.

To his surprise, he felt something different—his strikes required noticeably less effort than before.

The last time he forged a weapon, he could barely manage 30 hammer strikes before his strength and chakra were depleted.

Now, he felt confident he could swing at least 50 times in succession!

Was this due to his rigorous physical training?

It seemed his instincts were correct—whether it was forging ninja tools or taijutsu conditioning, both were crucial for his overall strength. They reinforced one another and were inseparable!

This realization only strengthened Kazuki's resolve to train under Might Guy.

If he could master the Eight Gates Released Formation and pair it with custom-made ninja tools, his strength would be formidable—even against elite shinobi!

As the forging process continued, Kazuki felt the true difficulty of crafting a two-star blueprint.

Minutes passed, turning into hours.

He had to maintain absolute focus, controlling the power and precision of each hammer strike while channeling chakra into the metal at just the right intervals.

Sweat dripped down his forehead, soaking his clothes.

Despite the strain, he refused to falter.

Thanks to his physical training, his endurance had improved dramatically. A month ago, he wouldn't have lasted half this long—his body and chakra reserves would have given out before the forging was complete.

Eight hours later...

"It's done!"

A triumphant cry escaped his lips.

His bloodshot eyes burned with an uncontainable excitement, his body trembling from exhaustion yet overwhelmed with exhilaration.

Resting in his palm was a simple yet exquisitely crafted silver-and-white ring.

It looked ordinary—yet Kazuki knew better.

This was his first successfully crafted storage ring, painstakingly forged over the last eight hours.

And even more incredible—he had succeeded on his first attempt!

A rush of information about the ring's properties filled his mind.

> [Primary Storage Ring]

Rank: Two-Star Weapon

Attribute: Space Manipulation

Function: Grants 1 cubic meter of storage space, capable of holding all non-living objects.

Contract Required: None

At that moment, a system notification echoed in his ears:

Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully created a two-star space attribute ring. As a reward, your space affinity has increased by +1!

Kazuki's eyes widened with excitement.

So the system didn't just teach him how to forge—it actually enhanced his own elemental affinities through crafting?!

Closing his eyes, he concentrated.

Sure enough, he sensed a subtle yet distinct increase in his perception of space.

It was still faint, but it was progress. His understanding of space-time ninjutsu had improved!

"If I keep crafting space-enhanced weapons… If I refine my comprehension of space attributes…"

A wild idea ignited in his mind.

Could he eventually master the Flying Thunder God Technique like the Second Hokage and the legendary Fourth Hokage?

And if he forged weapons imbued with other elemental attributes, would his affinity for those elements grow as well?!

A fire burned in Kazuki's heart.

This was only the beginning.
