’My main body’s abilities sync with Rika’s rank. Rika’s rank is already at 49%, and I’ve only fully activated one skill: Black Flash!’
Haruki was very displeased.
[Host, please calm dow.]
Hearing the system’s voice, Haruki was furious.
[There’s something I forgot to tell you.]
Haruki had a bad feeling.
[When the Cursed Spirit’s rank is between 0% and 50%, one thousand emotional points can increase the rank by 1%. When the Cursed Spirit’s rank is between 50% and 90%, ten thousand emotional points can increase the rank by 1%. When the Cursed Spirit’s rank is between 90% and 100%, one hundred thousand emotional points can increase the rank by 1%.]
Haruki sat on the tatami mat, letting out a cold laugh as if he had multiple personalities.
He wondered why the Cursed Spirit’s rank had increased so easily. It turned out the damn system had a hidden trick.
One hundred thousand emotional points to increase the rank by 1%?
Why not just rob someone?
How much would others have to love him for him to max out Rika’s rank?
Thinking this, Haruki suddenly felt his future was bleak.
Oh, right, there’s also Copy.
He had activated two Cursed Spirits today, Choso and the Land God, and accordingly, some Copyable Techniques should have been activated as well.
Haruki clicked to expand the Copy section.
[Copy (Current Progress 49%): Can Copy Ninjutsu below S Rank.]
[Copyable Cursed Techniques: Kento Nanami — Ratio (Activated), Shoko Ieiri — Reverse Cursed Technique (Activated), Yuji Itadori — Divergent Fist (Activated), Toge Inumaki — Cursed Speech (Not Activated), Satoru Gojo — Six Eyes (Not Activated), Satoru Gojo — Limitless (Not Activated)... Click to Expand]
Haruki scrolled through the Copyable Cursed Techniques section up, down, left, and right several times, finally arriving at a cruel truth.
He had only activated Yuji’s Divergent Fist.
[Host, please calm down.]
[Host, think about it. Although you’ve only activated the main body skill Black Flash and Yuji’s Divergent Fist, you have two powerful Cursed Spirits.]
[Choso is a powerful Cursed Spirit with Blood Manipulation, and there’s also Land God...]
[Land God not only has the ability of Instant Death Gaze but also possesses a Domain and it can absorb ninja’s Chakra.]
’What does that mean?’
Haruki propped up his chin and mused, ’What use is it for a Cursed Spirit to absorb Chakra? Unless it can convert Chakra into Cursed Energy?’
[Host, congratulations, you guessed correctly! Land God can absorb Chakra and convert it into Cursed Energy, feeding it back to the Cursed Spirit Mother.]
Land God’s skill somewhat comforted him. Haruki glanced at the total Cursed Energy at the bottom.
[Total Cursed Energy: Personal Cursed Energy (4,900,000) + Cursed Spirit Carried Cursed Energy (12,700,000)]
Haruki’s lips curled up. The knot in his heart instantly vanished. This total Cursed Energy was very impressive.
Haruki closed the light screen and went straight to sleep.
Haruki was woken up by the pre-set system alarm.
’Please stop clucking.’
Haruki floated like a ghost into the bathroom.
Looking at his resentful reflection in the mirror, Haruki vigorously rubbed his face. He forced a smile.
’Wake up in the morning with a smile, and emotional points flow into your wallet.’
After five minutes of self-affirmation, Haruki took a deep breath, re-energized.
After getting ready, Haruki opened the iron door. Outside, it was pitch black. The stars were still in the sky.
Closing the iron door, Haruki saw a dark figure flash across his vision. Haruki was startled.
He looked closely and saw that the dark figure stopped not far down the corridor was Suzaku.
Haruki walked towards him, stopping in front of Suzaku.
Suzaku had no extra expression, he nodded and said, "Hanzō-sama has matters to attend to and has ordered me to guide your training."
What kind of matter would it be so early?
Haruki nodded. "Okay. Thank you, brother Suzaku."
Suzaku pursed his lips and said, "Follow me."
Haruki followed behind Suzaku, who was walking ahead, and suddenly spoke, "The ninja who attacked you yesterday was a Sunagakure spy. He is already dead, so you don’t need to be afraid."
He wasn’t afraid. He stared at Suzaku’s back, smiling mischievously in his heart.
Regardless of whether Suzaku could see him, he nodded heavily, his voice filled with deep trust in Suzaku, "I’m not afraid. I know brother Suzaku will protect me. With brother Suzaku here, I’m not afraid."
Suzaku’s footsteps paused.
[System detected Suzaku’s Nostalgia value +500]
[Your Cursed Spirit Choso’s rank has increased to 17.5%]
"Mm." Suzaku nodded lightly.
He would protect Haruki. Even if it meant sacrificing his own life. Haruki was more valuable than him. Haruki being alive could save more ninjas in Amegakure.
No matter what, he would protect Haruki. Moreover, Haruki regarded him as a brother. As a brother, he naturally had to protect his younger brother.
Haruki followed Suzaku to the training ground behind the single-person apartments.
It was clear that this training ground was specifically prepared for the ninjas residing in the single-person apartments.
Although it was only 5 AM, quite a few ninjas were already gathered on the training ground.
They were focused on their own training, no one looked their way.
Suzaku found an undisturbed corner on the training ground. He took out the Chakra paper he had prepared earlier and handed it to Haruki.
Haruki took the Chakra paper.
"Inject your Chakra into the test paper." Suzaku said.
The test paper showed no reaction.
Suzaku repeated, "Inject your Chakra into the paper."
Another three minutes passed.
"Did you inject it?" Suzaku frowned.
Confusion appeared on Suzaku’s face.
Why wasn’t the Chakra test paper reacting?
"How about, brother Suzaku, you teach me Ninjutsu first?" Haruki suggested.
"But I don’t know your Chakra nature..."
Suzaku looked strangely at the paper in front of him.
Could it be that Haruki’s Chakra had no nature?
He had never encountered such a situation before.
Suzaku glanced at Haruki. However, it was indeed possible to determine Haruki’s Chakra nature through Ninjutsu, it would just take a bit more time.
