For an ordinary person without talent, something cannot be learned just by wanting to or trying hard.
It purely requires extraordinary brains and talent.
The atmosphere fell silent again for a moment.
“…”
Tsunade suppressed the urge to hit this brat, then said through clenched teeth, “Sure enough, you really are a bottom-tier loser!”
“Ahem-ahem, everyone has their own expertise.” Shu smiled awkwardly.
Tsunade rolled her eyes in annoyance, then turned back to look at Azami.
“Tch! In that case, I’ll just do it myself.”
She quickly formed hand seals, then pressed them hard around the spiral on Azami’s forehead.
Along with a wave of chakra, the intricate black sealing technique looked like it possessed life, rapidly spreading across Azami’s pale skin.
In the blink of an eye, the technique intertwined into a dense seal formation, firmly locking that spiral in the center.
“Not yet!”
Tsunade shouted softly, her other hand pulling out a sealing scroll.
She unrolled the scroll, placed it over the seal formation, and the chakra in her hand exploded instantly.
“Come out!”
Under the strong pull of the sealing technique, the curse energy residing on Azami’s forehead was forcibly pulled out strand by strand, following the pull of the scroll, until finally everything was sucked into the sealing scroll.
*SNAP!*
Tsunade closed the scroll and deftly added an extra layer of seal on top of it.
“Phew…
done.” Tsunade let out a long breath, “Releasing this thing is truly a troublesome job, more tiring than performing surgery, and this is only the early stage of infection…”
In Tsunade’s mind, without warning, a voice rang out.
[Ding! Detected Reincarnator successfully saved the key character, Kurotani Azami, and altered the original storyline.]
[Reward: 1 D-Rank Plot, 1,000 Reward Points.]
Tsunade was stunned, this was a reward?
Shu asked with a wide smile: “How is it, Tsunade-sama, how many rewards did you get?”
“No…
no mistake.” Tsunade came to her senses, “I got something called a Plot, and 1,000 Reward Points.
Turns out there’s a way to get rewards like this?”
She suddenly turned to look at Shu: “Then, when you were in the mourning hall earlier, was it also because of this?”
“That’s right.” Shu nodded, “Earlier I spoke up to prevent them from cremating the body, and got 500 Reward Points. However, because the change I made was relatively small, I didn’t get a Plot.”
Tsunade stroked her chin thoughtfully: “I see. But… what does ‘altering the original storyline’ mean as stated by the Main God Space’s warning? What is this so-called plot?”
Tsunade paused for a moment, narrowing her eyes as she stared at Shu: “Brat, you definitely know what plot means, right?”
Shu nodded calmly: “Of course! I certainly do.”
He pointed at his own eyes, a single tomoe slowly emerging: “All of this is because of my Sharingan!”
“The reason why I know about this Kurozu Town is not because I’ve been here before, nor is it because I got information from anywhere. Rather, it’s because… my Sharingan can see the future!”
This was the excuse he had prepared from the start.
The identity as a Transmigrator was something that must never be exposed, that was his biggest trump card.
And within the view of the Naruto World, Dojutsu mutations or the ability to predict the future, although sounding absurd, were not entirely impossible.
So, this could be used as a fitting excuse.
“See the future?!”
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then her brows furrowed sharply: “Impossible! Don’t use that trick to fool me. Even though I’ve heard that the Mangekyo Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can awaken some special eye techniques, didn’t you say yourself earlier that this is merely a one-tomoe Sharingan?! How could a one-tomoe possess an ability like this?”
“Perhaps, because this Sharingan of mine is very special?” Shu continued making things up, “Isn’t there an old saying that goes no pain, no gain? Perhaps because my ninjutsu talent is so pathetic, stuck at the Genin level for over ten years, then as compensation, my Sharingan underwent a rare mutation?”
The corners of Tsunade’s mouth twitched.
Shu didn’t care whether the other party believed it or not, he continued his explanation following his line of thought: “So, the so-called original storyline actually refers to the predetermined and unchangeable fate that should happen in this world.” Read the latest chapters at g.com.
He pointed at Azami beside him: “Take this Kurotani Azami for example, in the future I saw, she didn’t meet us, and no one helped her get rid of the curse on her forehead. So, a few days later, along with that spiral continuing to grow larger, she finally sucked herself inward and died in a very horrifying way.”
“However now, because of our actions, the trajectory of her fate was forcibly changed. She survived. This is equivalent to us breaking her destined end. And the reward from that Main God Space is likely a reward for us having disrupted that predetermined fate.”
Tsunade frowned: “So, to get additional Reward Points and Plots, we must disrupt the predetermined fate of characters in this world?”
As the former leader of the three squads in the Sannin, her intelligence and strategic perspective were naturally at the top tier.
“Since this is a story with a predetermined ending, and you can see the future, don’t you already know all the things that will happen later? As someone who knows the plot, to get points, that should be very easy…”
“Theoretically that’s true.” Shu smiled bitterly, “But don’t get excited yet, my prediction isn’t everything. I can only see a few key fragments and the final fate of characters, there are huge limitations. Besides, if we alter the storyline too much, it might trigger a series of unknown butterfly effects.”
Tsunade stared at him with an expression that was hard to decipher.
However, she didn’t try to expose it, and that wasn’t necessary either.
Moreover, she had now truly experienced tangible benefits.
Just then it was 1,000 Reward Points and a D-rank Plot!
Even though she didn’t yet know the specific function of the Plot, just from its name alone, it must be a rare resource.
If this were converted into casino chips…
ahem, no!
If this were converted into points needed to resurrect Nawaki and Dan, this was a real, major step forward!
Shu didn’t mind either, whether Tsunade believed his nonsense or not, that was no longer important.
As long as Tsunade was an intelligent person and still needed his information, the two of them were comrades-in-arms whose fates were bound, so she wouldn’t make an issue of Shu’s information source.
As for Shu, as long as he relied on his story advantage and experience with infinite flow tropes, after he gained enough rewards here and his strength developed, even if Tsunade turned against him one day, he would already possess the foundation to protect himself.
“In that case, Tsunade-sama, since the rules are clear, let’s discuss the details of our cooperation.” Shu looked at Tsunade, “Next, let me provide the information and concrete action plans, and you’ll be responsible for executing them and obtaining the rewards. But after success, the rewards must be split fifty-fifty.”
Shu also had no other choice, who told him he couldn’t do sealing techniques and didn’t have the absolute power to forcibly alter the storyline.
If he didn’t cooperate with a great figure, he wouldn’t even get to taste a single bit of the results.
