The moment he heard Kushina Uzumaki confess to him, Uchiha In was not excited at all; instead, he was filled with suspicion.
When people are unaware of reason, there must be trouble; when things are abnormal, there must be a demon; when words are insincere, there must be a ghost; when things are too strange, there must be a trick.
Kushina Uzumaki instantly met three of these criteria, which was clearly not right!
Although he didn't know what was wrong, Uchiha In knew that Kushina Uzumaki had been designated as the next Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, and she would definitely be monitored in real-time by Anbu. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old man, might be observing everything happening here using the Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
Under these circumstances, if Uchiha In had impulsively agreed, it would definitely be a death wish!
At that time, he would certainly be noticed by the Third Elder, then possibly by Orochimaru, by Danzo, by the Elder Council, by various Ninja clans…
And then he would absolutely live under constant surveillance!
This was not the life Uchiha In wanted!
Uchiha In didn't want to live a life of being monitored every day, where every action had to be taken with trepidation!
Of course, this was also because Uchiha In's current strength was insufficient. If Uchiha In now had the strength of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, he would definitely have agreed!
If anyone dared to extend their dog's paw towards him, Uchiha In would definitely chop off their entire hand!
But Uchiha In currently didn't have that kind of strength, so he could only reluctantly refuse Kushina Uzumaki's confession.
As for Kushina Uzumaki's resentful gaze at this moment, Uchiha In didn't care in the slightest.
Being stared at a couple of times won't make him lose a piece of flesh, so what's there to be afraid of?
If you have the guts, Kushina Uzumaki, bite me?!
Chapter 4: Mission Success
If Kushina Uzumaki knew Uchiha In's arrogant thoughts right now, with her temper, she might really just bite him directly.
Unfortunately, Kushina Uzumaki didn't know at the moment.
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for completing sub-mission one, Sealing Technique proficiency +1."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully completing sub-mission one, gaining the achievement 'First Try,' all body attributes +1."
"Ding, main mission one officially activated: Before graduating from the Ninja Academy, become Uchiha In's girlfriend. Mission success reward: all attributes +2, Whirlpool Clan's Sealing Technique proficiency +5. Mission failure: System will force the Host to reverse-seduce Uchiha In."
"Sub-mission two activated: To become Uchiha In's wife, you must first capture his stomach. Within one month, make a loving bento and get Uchiha In's approval. Mission success reward: Host will initially Awaken Mind's Eye of the Kagura. Mission failure: System will force the Host to kiss Uchiha In."
"Daily mission activated: Become friends with Uchiha In. Rewards will be given based on completion level, no punishment."
"Daily missions refresh daily. Please complete them on your own, Host."
Just as Kushina Uzumaki was glaring fiercely at Uchiha In, a series of System prompts entered Kushina Uzumaki's mind.
Kushina Uzumaki instantly felt a significant increase in her stamina, Chakra reserves, and strength.
Is this the effect of all attributes +1?
Kushina Uzumaki finally felt at this moment that being bound to the System wasn't entirely a bad thing; at least her strength was improving rapidly, wasn't it?
Kushina Uzumaki felt that all her shame at this moment was worth it—just kidding!
She really couldn't stand it; it was too shameful!!!
Although she thought this way, Kushina Uzumaki was instantly drawn to the new missions, carefully examining each one.
It seemed that among these missions, the daily mission was the best, with no requirements for completion and no mission penalties, while the sub-missions and main missions made Kushina Uzumaki somewhat unable to look directly at them.
"System, why is your main mission, as the strongest Jinchuriki System, to become Uchiha In's wife?"
"And why do I have to become a couple with someone I'm not familiar with and don't even know, and need to become his girlfriend before graduation?"
Kushina Uzumaki roared internally, extremely dissatisfied.
"Ding, the Host's question is excellent, but this System will not answer."
"System, I want a refund! Unbind from you! Unbind!"
Kushina Uzumaki was currently furious, and in a fit of pique, she directly spoke to the System.
"Host, are you sure you want to unbind from the System? Yes/No (Condition for unbinding from the System is the Host's death.)"
"Just kidding, no, no, no."
Kushina Uzumaki's heart sank halfway as she read the words in parentheses, and she quickly clicked no.
She didn't want to die so inexplicably; that would be too pathetic.
She was one of the few remaining descendants of the Whirlpool Clan and would shoulder the important task of revitalizing the Whirlpool Clan in the future. How could she die at this moment?
No choice, Kushina, you can do it! It's just conquering a boy, right? With your looks, it must be easy!
Cheering herself up internally, Kushina Uzumaki also calmed down.
Having calmed down, Kushina Uzumaki carefully observed Uchiha In in front of her.
His face was clean and fair, revealing a chiseled handsomeness; his dark, deep eyes shimmered with an enchanting luster; his thick brows, high nose, and exquisite lips all exuded nobility and elegance.
"He's not bad-looking. I didn't even notice just now; he's actually a bit handsome."
Kushina Uzumaki was not a fangirl, but even she had to admit Uchiha In's handsomeness.
Especially the aura about him; at a glance, he was different from other little brats.
If Uchiha In knew Kushina Uzumaki's thoughts, he would probably be unable to resist retorting, "I was a university student in my previous life, over 20 years old. How could I be like those little brats!"
"Tomorrow, I'll make an extra bento. I wonder if it will suit his taste."
Kushina Uzumaki said, rubbing her head in distress.
Unbeknownst to Kushina Uzumaki, the System in Uchiha In's mind finally made a sound at this moment.
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for gaining Whirlpool Clan's Sealing Technique proficiency +1."
"Ding, detecting that the Host does not currently possess Whirlpool Clan's Sealing Technique, it will be granted instead."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host, all attributes +1."
What's going on? Why did I suddenly get these rewards?
Uchiha In, enduring Kushina Uzumaki's gaze, was utterly bewildered.
