Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Setting Sun Marks the End of My Ninja Days

"Quick! Quick, let me draw! I want to draw now!"

Brushing aside the system's bragging, Aoi Ren spoke excitedly.

Among those six rewards, any of them would be incredible.

A Devil Fruit, a Zanpakutō, a Flame Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal, even a Mangekyō Sharingan — any of these would grant him tremendous power in a short time.

As for the Cursed Sword Muramasa, he wasn't even sure what world that famous blade came from.

And that last skill... without the Rinnegan, would he even be able to unleash Heavenly Obstruction Meteor?

[Drawing in progress...]

As the system's mechanical voice sounded, the wheel in Ren's mind began spinning rapidly.

"Hey, Aoi Ren, I can't believe a loser like you actually passed the Genin exam. It's a miracle..."

Just as Ren was waiting excitedly for the result, a childish voice rang out beside him.

At the same time, a few little brats gathered around.

Ren looked up. Familiar faces.

"Oh, it's you... Shaqima. No wait, Asuma..."

The kid in the bright green vest in front of him was none other than Sarutobi Asuma, son of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And tagging along were his usual followers: Izumo Kamizuki, Kotetsu Hagane, and Hayate Gekkō.

"What Shaqima?"

Asuma looked puzzled but didn't think much of it. With a smirk, he said, "Ren, I'll give you one last chance. Leave Kurenai. You're just a civilian ninja. There's no way you can give her the happy life she deserves."

Ren's mouth twitched. You've got some nerve to say that to me, short-lived brat.

As the Hokage's son, Asuma always thought he was something special.

Most kids in class tried to butter him up. He had a few lackeys sticking to him all the time. Really thought he was hot stuff.

But then there was Kakashi, the genius ninja who didn't give him the time of day. Good thing Kakashi had graduated years ago.

And now he heard Kakashi was already a Jonin.

Kakashi was the son of the White Fang. Truly on another level. No way to compete with that.

But this guy in front of him, this Aoi Ren — not only did he ignore Asuma, he had even won over the girl Asuma liked. How could he stand it?

Now that graduation was here, Asuma was determined to teach him a lesson.

"Tch. Idiot."

Ren shook his head. Other than Asuma, who would amount to something later, the rest of these guys were nobodies destined for the background.

What use were they?

Besides, this was the Genin exam day. Teachers were everywhere. They wouldn't dare start a fight here.

"You..."

Asuma clenched his fists, ready to make a move, but when he noticed the teachers watching, he swallowed his anger and said, "Ren, just wait. One day, I'll take Kurenai back!"

With that, he stormed off, flanked by his little gang.

[Ding-dong! Draw successful!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining S-Rank Item: Devil Fruit *Glint-Glint Fruit!]

Glint-Glint Fruit: A type of Devil Fruit that allows the user to turn any part of their body into light, making them immune to all physical attacks. The user can move and attack at the speed of light, deliver devastating strikes at light speed, emit blinding flashes that temporarily blind enemies, and compress light particles to fire lasers causing large-scale explosions.

"What?! I actually got the Glint-Glint Fruit?!"

Ren couldn't hide his excitement. With the Glint-Glint Fruit, what was there to fear?

"System, where's my Glint-Glint Fruit?"

[Just think of the system space, and you'll see your reward.]

"Oh, so that's how it works..."

Following the system's instructions, Ren quickly found a void-like space.

Inside it, a golden-yellow fruit shaped like a pineapple glowed faintly with a golden light, resting quietly.

With a thought, the Devil Fruit appeared in his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ren took a big bite.

Crunch — juice flowed, and to his surprise, it actually tasted sweet and fragrant.

"Huh? System, is this Devil Fruit fake? Why does it taste so good? Isn't it supposed to taste like crap?"

[All Devil Fruits produced by the system have had the flaws of sea prism stone and seawater weakness removed. The taste has also been improved.]

"So that's it..."

Ren nodded. Looks like this was another perk of his system.

At that moment, the exam hall doors creaked open.

The little loli Kurenai Yuhi came hopping out, holding her Genin forehead protector.

"Ren, I passed too!"

"Congrats!"

Ren smiled. In the original story, Kurenai was a strong Jonin. A Genin exam was no problem for her.

"Here, have some fruit."

He held out the Devil Fruit he'd been eating.

Since only the first bite of a Devil Fruit has an effect, Ren didn't mind at all.

"Thanks, Ren. You're always so good to me!"

Kurenai took it with both hands, not caring at all that he'd already eaten from it, and happily took a bite.

Under Ren's influence, Kurenai had long since let down all her guard. In front of him, she kept no secrets.

"Mmm! Is this pineapple? So tasty!"

"Uh, pineapple? Maybe..."
