Chapter 5 – The Earth-Shattering Power of the Gura Gura no Mi
Hatake Yusuke had been awake since the crack of dawn—and he was in a bad mood.
"Get out here, you damn system! Why the hell did the fusion with the Gura Gura no Mi hurt so freaking much?!"
The more he remembered it, the angrier he got.
[Please refrain from insulting the system. All consequences are your own responsibility. Be aware that fusing such immense power naturally results in extreme pain.]
"Then why didn't you warn me?!"
[Because Host did not ask.]
"…Forget it. I don't have the energy to argue. I'm testing this power now."
Fueled with excitement, Yusuke made his way toward the forest behind Konoha's mountains.
He stood tall among towering trees, assuming a distinct stance—his body tilted slightly, right hand bracing his left arm.
It was the exact same posture as Whitebeard's legendary quake stance. A faint white aura shimmered around his clenched fist, distorting the air with subtle tremors.
Then he struck—his fist stopping just short of a massive tree trunk nearly a meter thick.
Crack!
A loud shattering sound echoed like glass breaking.
Fracture-like shockwaves spread out in all directions, as though space itself had cracked under pressure.
The enormous tree exploded into splinters instantly.
Yusuke stared at the aftermath, stunned. His stance had looked full-force, but he hadn't used even half his strength.
This is nuts... That was just a regular punch—and it was stronger than most people's ultimate jutsu.
His mind raced.
Alright... let's see what else Whitebeard's fruit can do...

Meanwhile, inside the Hokage's office, things were getting tense.
"He must be brought into ROOT," said the old man wrapped in bandages, revealing only one eye.
"Absolutely not," replied Sarutobi Hiruzen, voice cold and firm. "Hatake Yusuke will not be allowed to join ROOT."
"Give him to me, Sarutobi. I can turn him into Konoha's strongest weapon." Shimura Danzo's tone was low, heavy, and pressing.
But Hiruzen met his gaze with steel. "Don't even dream of it, Danzo. Don't forget—I'm the Hokage."
A heavy aura surged from Hiruzen's body. He was still in his prime—one of the strongest shinobi in the entire ninja world.
Danzo went quiet, then took a step back.
"Then what about Kakashi? Surely you can allow him into ROOT at least."
"No."
"What?! Sarutobi, this is ridiculous!"
"You know who their father is, don't you? Hatake Sakumo, the White Fang of Konoha. If you want to recruit Kakashi into ROOT, ask him yourself. I won't interfere."
"...Hmph."
Danzo said nothing more and turned on his heel, leaving the room with heavy steps.

Back in the forest, Yusuke had finished his trial run with the Gura Gura no Mi.
While he hadn't reached Whitebeard's full power due to his still-developing Genin-level body, the destructive force was still incredible.
He could easily overpower elite Chūnin, and with Navy Six Styles backing him up, even low-tier Tokubetsu Jōnin wouldn't stand a chance.
As he returned home, he found Sakumo preparing to head out.
"You've been training since this morning?" Sakumo asked, noticing the dirt on his son's clothes.
"Yup. I'm a Genin now, after all," Yusuke said with a grin.
"Haha... that's good to hear." Sakumo patted his son's shoulder proudly.
With talent like that—and that kind of work ethic—his future was nothing short of legendary.
"Oh, by the way, you don't need to go to the Academy today. The Hokage wants to see you personally. Let Kakashi pick up his forehead protector by himself."
"Huh? Hokage's looking for me?" Yusuke raised an eyebrow.
"By the way… do you know who our Jōnin instructor will be?"
"Kakashi will be under your uncle, Yūhi Shinku."
Sakumo and Shinku had once been comrades in the same squad, so it wasn't surprising their kids would be close too.
"And me?"
"The Hokage hasn't said… but you'll find out soon enough."
Of course, Sakumo already had a strong feeling—Hiruzen might be eyeing Yusuke for the ANBU. But it was better not to say anything for now.

Yusuke entered the Hokage's office. Inside were Sarutobi Hiruzen, his father Sakumo, and the three elders of Konoha: Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo.
"What's up, Hokage-sama?" Yusuke asked casually.
Sakumo massaged his temples, silently signaling him to be more respectful.
"How dare you speak to the Hokage like that?!" Koharu snapped furiously.
"Oh? That's impolite? How exactly? Hokage-sama hasn't even said anything yet. Who even are you to lecture me before he does?" Yusuke replied flatly, clearly unimpressed.
Sakumo sighed. This kid's going to give me an ulcer...
"That's enough," Hiruzen cut in, voice sharp. "Let's not make this any more difficult than it needs to be."
He then turned to Yusuke.
"Yusuke, I called you here to ask about the techniques you used during the graduation exam. What do you call them?"
"In response to the Hokage—those techniques are part of a style I call the Konoha Six Style," Yusuke replied.
"Six Styles, huh? So there are six techniques?"
"Correct."
"But… I only saw you use five during the exam," Hiruzen said, his voice curious.
Yusuke smirked. He wasn't surprised Hiruzen had noticed. As the Professor of Ninjutsu, the Hokage's eye for detail was famous. Regular Jōnin might not have caught the subtle signs of Iron Body or Finger Gun.
"Right. There are six. I didn't get a chance to use the last one."
"Oh? What kind of technique is it?"
"It's a dodging skill. Not a Body Flicker—more like a high-speed reflex dodge."
"Interesting. Could you explain further? Perhaps… demonstrate it for us?" Homura asked.
The entire room leaned in with interest. None of them had seen Yusuke's battle firsthand, so they were still skeptical—especially since he was only four years old.
"Very well," Yusuke said, nodding.
"The Six Styles are a form of advanced physical combat art. You can think of it as an evolved version of Ninja Taijutsu, but it requires intense body control and chakra manipulation."
"The six techniques are: Iron Body, Shave, Paper Art, Moonwalk, Tempest Kick, and Finger Gun."
"Finger Gun channels chakra into the fingertip and reinforces it with breath-based internal strength, allowing it to pierce walls, human flesh, and even light armor."
As he spoke, Yusuke pointed toward the side wall and fired—
Crack!
A clean hole blasted through it.
"Incredible…" Hiruzen murmured. "That's similar to the Hell Stab of the Third Raikage. Remarkable."
"Shave involves stomping the ground dozens of times in an instant to generate burst movement, enabling high-speed displacement."
Yusuke vanished from where he stood—reappearing directly behind Utatane Koharu in a blink.
"Fast reflexes? That's just a bluff. If you were really that fast, the floor would be shattered," Danzo sneered.
"Sorry, I don't have time to explain basic physics to you. I'm here to demonstrate, not teach," Yusuke replied, unbothered.
The truth was, the technique was granted by the system. His body control and chakra distribution were on another level, allowing him to move at incredible speed without leaving marks.
"That's enough, Danzo," Hiruzen interjected firmly. "Let him continue."
