The next morning.
Shinsuke slowly woke up, the first thing he felt being the soft warmth in his arms and the long strands of hair draped across his arm.
Looking at Kurenai’s graceful figure sleeping in his embrace, everything that had happened the previous night seemed to replay in his mind.
Their heated breaths, intertwined fingers, hurried breathing, and Kurenai’s crimson eyes filled with desire and haziness…
He swore that he had never intended to take advantage of her vulnerable state!
He, Uchiha Shinsuke, was a true gentleman.
Even for the sake of completing the system’s mission, his original plan had been to pursue Kurenai after returning to the village.
Who could have imagined that they would end up completing dual cultivation during the mission itself?
Just as his thoughts became tangled, the system’s notification sounded in his mind.
[ Ding!
Congratulations, Host, on completing dual cultivation with a female ninja.
Mission Complete!
]
[ Evaluating the aptitude of the dual cultivation partner…
]
[ Evaluation Complete.
Dual Cultivation Partner: Kurenai Yūhi.
Overall Rating: S Rank!
]
[ Distributing mission rewards…
Many Children, Great Fortune Module Activated!
]
Immediately afterward, Shinsuke noticed that a new module called [Many Children, Great Fortune] had appeared within the system.
The module’s description simultaneously flowed into his mind.
As the host of the Family System, expanding the clan is your highest priority.
The system will automatically identify suitable women.
Please actively engage in dual cultivation with talented female ninja to continue and optimize the family’s bloodline.
The aptitude of your dual cultivation partner will determine the quality of the rewards.
The system will objectively evaluate each partner and grant a corresponding luxury treasure chest.
Successfully producing offspring will grant additional generous rewards.
After reading the description of the [Many Children, Great Fortune] module, Shinsuke could barely suppress the smile creeping onto his face.
“I’m not some lustful man, System…
You’re really making things difficult for me…”
“Well, it can’t be helped.
For the revival of the Uchiha Clan, I’ll just have to keep making sacrifices.”
With a thought, he opened the newly activated [Many Children, Great Fortune] interface.
[ Partner No.
1: Kurenai Yūhi ]
[ Aptitude Rating: S ]
[ Available Reward: S Rank Family Treasure Chest ×1 ]
Without any hesitation, Shinsuke immediately chose to claim it.
[ Ding!
Successfully claimed the S Rank Family Treasure Chest.
Open it now?
]
“Open.”
[ Treasure Chest Opened.
Reward Distribution Beginning.
]
[ Reward One: Mastery of Yin Release Chakra Nature ]
Immediately afterward, a cool sensation rapidly spread throughout Shinsuke’s body.
He sensed a brand new strand of chakra quietly forming within him, dark, elusive, and filled with spiritual vitality.
Seeing the first reward, Shinsuke was overjoyed. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
After all, chakra was fundamentally a fusion of physical and spiritual energy.
Every ninja was born with one or more chakra natures, determining how easily they could learn corresponding techniques.
Of course, ninja could also cultivate additional chakra natures through dedicated training.
However, doing so required prolonged, focused, high intensity cultivation.
Only by understanding and imitating another chakra nature could they gradually master its transformation.
Shinsuke had originally been born with two chakra natures.
Fire and Lightning.
Now, thanks to the system’s reward, he had completely mastered Yin Release, refining a third chakra nature within his body.
As he absorbed the newly acquired knowledge regarding Yin Release chakra, Shinsuke immediately understood its essence.
Yin Release chakra represented power related to the mind, imagination, and soul.
Although Yin Release chakra could not be directly used for offense, it served as the foundation for genjutsu, certain secret techniques, spiritual abilities, and techniques that created form.
The Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan itself contained Yin Release chakra.
However, that chakra only existed within the eyes as a hereditary bloodline trait and was not something ordinary Uchiha directly controlled.
Shinsuke couldn’t help sighing in admiration.
“As expected of an S Rank reward…”
[ Reward Two: S Rank Ninjutsu Creation Card ]
[ Description: By using this card, the host may designate a ninjutsu development direction.
Based on the host’s current abilities, bloodline characteristics, and chakra affinities, the system will generate the most compatible S Rank technique.
]
Immediately afterward, a pale golden card materialized in Shinsuke’s hand.
Creating ninjutsu, especially high level techniques, required an extremely profound understanding of chakra nature transformation and shape transformation.
Naturally, Shinsuke did not yet possess such ability.
But with this S Rank Ninjutsu Creation Card, he could directly create a technique perfectly suited to himself.
Without hesitation, Shinsuke spoke.
“Use the S Rank Ninjutsu Creation Card immediately!”
[ Ding!
S Rank Ninjutsu Creation Card Successfully Used!
]
[ Please choose the development direction: ]
[ One: Ninjutsu ]
[ Two: Taijutsu ]
[ Three: Genjutsu ]
After a brief moment of consideration, Shinsuke ultimately chose genjutsu.
[ Generating Genjutsu…
]
[ Host possesses the Sharingan and Yin Release chakra.
Integrating characteristics…
]
[ Ding!
Generation Complete!
]
[ Technique Name: Yin Release: Heart Divergence Gate ]
[ Type: S Rank Genjutsu ]
[ Effect: By using specific hand seals together with the Sharingan as the medium, Yin Release chakra opens the gateway to the target’s spiritual world.
Beyond that gate, the user may weave complex illusions to probe or disrupt the target’s deepest consciousness.
]
Success!
In an instant, everything related to Yin Release: Heart Divergence Gate, including the sequence of hand seals, the precise flow of chakra through the chakra pathways, methods of focusing ocular power, and the principles behind constructing and maintaining illusions, flooded into Shinsuke’s mind.
“An S Rank genjutsu…”
Shinsuke’s heart surged with excitement.
This would become one of his greatest trump cards.
Just then, a soft sound came from beside him.
“Mmm…”
Kurenai’s eyelashes fluttered before she slowly opened her eyes.
The instant she saw Shinsuke, she suddenly remembered that she wasn’t wearing any clothes.
She hurriedly gathered the clothing scattered across the ground and quickly dressed herself.
Recalling everything they had done the previous night, her cheeks instantly turned bright red.
Especially since she had been the one who initiated it!
Thinking about how she had continuously sought him out until the effects of the poison finally subsided…
She no longer knew how she should face Shinsuke.
Fortunately, Shinsuke took the initiative to break the awkward silence.
“I’ve already finished writing the mission report.
The intelligence that Sunagakure plans to attack Konoha in two months is extremely important.
We have to return to the village and report it immediately.”
“…Mm.”
Kurenai lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
Shinsuke then cleaned up every trace left inside the cave.
Only after confirming that nothing had been left behind did he leave the cave together with Kurenai.
On the journey back to Konoha, the two, who had gradually become comfortable with each other before, instead found themselves growing awkward because of the previous night’s events.
Their eyes occasionally met before immediately looking away again, as though an invisible barrier had formed between them.
Shinsuke could tell that Kurenai was deliberately avoiding conversation.
She clearly hadn’t yet adjusted to the sudden change in their relationship.
However, he knew there were some things that couldn’t be postponed forever.
On the afternoon of the third day, Konoha’s gates and the surrounding walls finally came into view.
Just before entering the village, Shinsuke stopped.
Turning around, he looked directly at Kurenai.
“Although what happened that night was an accident, I’m not someone who avoids responsibility.
I’ll take responsibility for you.”
“So…
would you be willing to give us a chance?”
“…Eh?”
Kurenai froze completely.
Her eyes widened slightly, as though she had never expected Shinsuke to say such words at this moment.
Meeting his sincere gaze, her lips parted several times, her face flushed scarlet, yet she couldn’t find the words.
“I…
um…”
Seeing her flustered expression, Shinsuke’s voice became even gentler.
“You don’t have to answer right now.
I know this is sudden, and you need time to think.”
“You’ve exhausted yourself during this mission.
Go back and get some proper rest.
If you’ve made your decision, you can come find me at the Uchiha Clan compound.”
He pointed toward the village gate.
“I’ll deliver the mission report to Lord Hokage myself.”
After saying that, he didn’t linger any longer and turned to leave.
Kurenai remained standing where she was, watching Shinsuke’s tall figure disappear into the crowd entering the village.
Her heart pounded rapidly within her chest.
A faint anticipation, so slight that even she herself failed to notice it, quietly took root deep inside her heart.
She thought to herself, ‘Captain Shinsuke is powerful, handsome, and such a dependable man…’
‘Maybe…
trying to date him wouldn’t be so bad.’
