Itachi followed the sound and quickly found a slender figure.
Itachi carefully squatted in the grass, peeking out.
"A girl, of all things?"
Itachi was a little shy. The terrain he was in was already low-lying, and he was currently squatting.
So, whenever a breeze blew, the girl's skirt would flutter slightly.
And every time the girl's skirt fluttered, Itachi felt like he was about to see something… scandalous.
Although, in reality, he hadn't seen anything, this feeling of peeking still made him feel very…
Embarrassed.
It was quite rude of him to do that. If he had known the other person was a girl, he wouldn't have peeked.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."
The girl's slender, jade-like hands moved rapidly, forming various hand seals.
Serpent, Goat, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger.
The seals were complete. The girl placed her small hand near her lips, and a flame burst forth.
Of course, the flame wasn't very big at all. Itachi thought it was only big enough to boil water.
But it was already quite good. After all, there were very few people like him who could achieve such success the first time they released a ninjutsu.
Even today, Itachi still remembered his father's praise back then.
(Just as expected of my son!)
The Girl seemed very dissatisfied with her performance and began repeating the same movements over and over.
She repeated the training again and again, and more than ten minutes passed.
The flames the Girl spewed out visibly grew in size. Itachi was a little surprised. So fast? This girl's talent is really good.
Itachi watched her flushed, sweaty face from constantly breathing fire. She was working so hard, probably because she didn't want to disappoint her father's expectations.
Hoping for their children to succeed is a common desire for many parents.
But how much of a burden does this kind of thinking place on the children? It seems that not many people care.
Empathy.
This thing really does bring people closer together.
Itachi was all too familiar with this heavy expectation.
"As the eldest son of the Uchiha Clan Leader..." This phrase echoed in his ears constantly.
At this moment, Itachi felt as if he saw his own shadow in the beautiful Girl before him.
He really wanted to go out and greet the Girl, but his current act of peeking made him feel that it was very inappropriate.
Just as he hesitated, the Girl suddenly tilted her head and glanced in his direction.
"Who's there, come out!"
The Girl's sharp voice rang out, and Itachi thought to himself, It's over.
I never expected this Girl to be so perceptive, not only in her cultivation talent but also in her senses. I didn't even reveal any flaws.
Girls in the ninja village are generally precocious these days. She's definitely going to misunderstand me as a pervert now.
But I can't just turn and run. That would probably make things even harder to explain.
There was no other choice. Itachi could only steel himself and walk out of the bushes.
"Sorry, I just..." Itachi hadn't finished speaking when he saw the Girl's face flush crimson.
Then, before Itachi could explain anything further, the Girl turned and vanished into the dense forest with a few leaps.
Itachi stood there dumbfounded, sighing. This misunderstanding was serious. But it didn't matter much. He could apologize properly next time they met.
After all, they were both Uchiha, they'd definitely meet again.
Uchiha Naraku's figure bounced through the forest. After a few minutes, once she was sure Itachi wasn't following, she finally relaxed.
Actually, she wasn't angry about being spied on or anything. As a man, Uchiha Naraku didn't have a strong sense of being watched.
He hadn't even thought about it that way.
In fact, the reason he ran away with a red face was simply because he couldn't stand his own delicate voice.
At the time, she was working hard to practice the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.
The system's voice suddenly came from the side.
[Itachi has noticed you, initiating the Itachi Favorability System.]
[Congratulations to the host for activating the Favorability System. Congratulations again, the Newbie Gift Pack you requested has arrived.]
Why did Itachi notice her when she was training so well?
Uchiha Naraku belatedly realized there was someone in the bushes beside her.
Then she yelled, but her voice was unexpectedly soft and ethereal.
Uchiha Naraku, who was used to being a tough guy, was dumbfounded.
Later, Itachi walked out of the bushes. At that moment, Uchiha Naraku felt like she'd lost all face...
And then she looked down at the skirt she was wearing.
Who wears a skirt? She'd rather be naked...
When Uchiha Naraku got home, it was already mostly dark.
She secretly vowed in her heart that she would definitely not wear a skirt next time.
No one had ever stipulated that women had to wear skirts, right?
Thinking of this, her young heart seemed to be slightly healed.
Uchiha Naraku couldn't wait to take off her skirt and throw it on the bed, then, wearing only her underwear, she dove into the covers.
"Come on, System, quickly hand over your Newbie Gift Pack."
[Okay, the Newbie Gift Pack has been opened.] [Chakra permanently increased by 10 points]
[Obtained Healing Potion *2]
[Obtained Physique Card - Sett, the Boss.]
"Wow, as expected of the reward I got for selling my body! A physique card for Sett, the Boss? Does this mean I can turn back into a man?"
Thinking this, Uchiha Naraku was excited.
[Don't dream, Naraku-chan…]
[Sett, the Boss]
[Card Type: Physique Card]
[Effect 1: Obtain Skills: Haymaker, Facebreaker, Knuckle Down, Haymaker, The Show Stopper.]
[Effect 2: Your physique has been partially modified. Although your appearance hasn't changed, you have indeed become stronger – Speed +15, Taijutsu +20.]
"Oh my god… Is this what they call a 'level up'?"
Uchiha Naraku had long forgotten about turning back into a man. She eagerly began to examine the four skills the system had gifted her.
Haymaker
[Effect: Each time you throw a left punch, the speed of your right punch increases by 8 times.]
Facebreaker
[Locked]
[Unlock Condition: Unlock when Haymaker skill proficiency reaches proficient level.]
Uchiha Naraku checked her other skills, but unfortunately, the rest of them were all locked.
It was impossible to get rich quick, but as long as she worked hard, her proficiency would increase quickly.
For example, in just a few hours, her Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique had gone from beginner to mastered.
Who told her that her training speed had increased by 100%?
Wahahaha.
Uchiha Naraku felt that her choice was brilliant. Now, looking at her little loli appearance, she didn't feel so disgusted anymore.
Thinking about her heroic posture when using The Show Stopper, then what about Itachi, what about Uchiha Obito, if she caught them, she'd definitely make them eat dirt.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Naraku began to check her character status again.
