A few seconds later, a list appeared in Rasa's mind:
Karura– 17 years old, Favorability: 29
Yashaka – 16 years old, Favorability: 18
Pakura– 21 years old, Favorability: 29
…
…
Kozuki- 26 years old Favorability: 10
…
…
Lena- 18 years old Favorability: 7
Katsuka- 20 years old Favorability: 3
Rasa stared at the short list of just ten names, the corner of his mouth twitching involuntarily.
That's it? he thought with disbelief.
For a village like Sunagakure, which boasted thousands of shinobi, even if female ninjas were a minority, there should still be at least several hundred, if not a thousand.
But when Rasa's gaze fell on the stone door in front of him, he took a few seconds to reflect—only to sigh in reluctant acceptance.
Come to think of it… in the original series, there really weren't that many named female Sand ninja.
Even if you included anime-original characters, the total number of named kunoichi from Sunagakure probably didn't exceed a dozen.
And more than half of them, at this current point in the timeline, were either still toddlers or not even born yet.
For example, Ameno—the soft-spoken, low-tier Tsunade lookalike—was probably just two or three years old right now.
And those trouble-making bombshell twins, Saya and Sana? At most, one year old.
As for the unnamed kunoichi Rasa had seen in passing during his time in the village—there were definitely many.
But the system probably had hidden requirements preventing them from showing up on the usable list, hence their absence.
After sorting through that logic, Rasa glanced again at the ten names on the system menu.
Two of them had already received the Favorability Doubling Fruit earlier, so no more work needed there.
That left seven viable targets.
If he maxed their favorability to 100 and then applied the Doubling Fruit, their scores would bump up to 200 each.
Even if he only managed this by midnight, he could still rack up over 1,000 skill points in total.
Not quite the several thousand he was aiming for before tomorrow's duel—but still a hefty stash. Enough to dig around the system store for something useful.
He turned his attention back to the list and realized something odd:
Among the nine kunoichi listed, he recognized all but one.
Kozuki…?
Rasa wracked his brain, flipping through every shred of memory inherited from the original Rasa—only to come up blank.
Not a single recollection of any kunoichi named Kozuki.
And he was pretty sure that in the anime, no Sand kunoichi with that name ever showed up either.
Finally, he chuckled at himself.
Probably someone I saw once in passing… or maybe she saw me.
One glance is all the system needs, right?
Without wasting another moment, Rasa quickly distributed the remaining ten Favorability Fruits:
"Kozuki, Karura has received 3 Premium Favorability Fruits. Favorability: 29."
"Pakura has received 2 Premium Favorability Fruits. Favorability: 29."
"Yashaka, Lena, and three others have each received 1 Premium Favorability Fruit. Favorability increased."
"Total Favorability increased by 70 points. Skill Points gained: 70."
EDIT: Fixed Runa to Pakura
