One week later.
Perched atop a small mountain on the outskirts of Konoha, a young girl stood before him, a knife held in one hand, its tip pointing vertically to the sky, her expression cold.
"Scatter, Senbonzakura."
In an instant.
With that indifferent voice, the long sword disintegrated, transforming into cherry blossom petals that scattered in the wind...
Pink cherry blossoms danced in the wind.
Those petals were so beautiful.
Those petals...were so sharp!
Where cherry blossoms have fallen, even the air cannot remain intact!
Senbonzakura: Shikai.
"This consumption is huge!"
A single "mmp" completely shattered the beautiful yet chilling atmosphere.
Qingchuan looked extremely displeased.
He is very weak right now.
In just two seconds of initial release, it almost drained all of his spiritual power!
He was panting heavily.
Qingchuan opened that damned system interface.
[Host: Uchiha Haruko. Current World: Naruto World.]
[Current Mission: Survive the Night of the Massacre. (In Progress)]
[Side Quest: Shikai Reflection of the Soul, Awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. (Completion 21.6%)]
[Unique buff: Cultivation progress increased by 50% when wearing women's clothing]
[Unique buff: Recovery speed +100% when smiling]
Well, now even the system has preset his cross-dressing persona.
This morning, after Qingchuan unleashed over three hundred slashes into the air...
The side quest "Senbonzakura: Shikai" is finally complete.
The female decorator received a 20% bonus, and was also rewarded with a new reply buff upon completion.
I still can't figure out the system's tricks.
It's still an active buff... You have to keep smiling to get this doubled recovery speed.
Combined with the existing 50% cultivation buff, future cultivation will definitely be accelerated significantly.
But Qingchuan is now...
I can't laugh at all!
The moment he opened fire, in just two seconds, he collapsed...
This made Qingchuan, who had been full of expectations, feel a little disappointed.
A little frustrated...
However, the system's rewards are not limited to this.
he...
This is eye-opening.
Yes.
The Sharingan reflects the soul.
Shikai, too, is a reflection of the soul of the Shinigami and the Zanpakuto.
The two were so perfectly matched that when he first unleashed his power, his single tomoe also activated.
If nothing unexpected happens.
From now on, his Sharingan combined with Senbonzakura will be his most frequently used combat mode.
Take a deep breath.
With his last ounce of strength, a smile finally appeared on Qingchuan's face.
Double replies enabled.
The feeling of exhaustion throughout my body receded instantly like a receding tide, but it will probably take some time to fully recover.
However, Qingchuan can't afford to dawdle today.
today...
But it was his first day of school.
Let's calculate the time.
Someone should be arriving soon.
...
On their way to the ninja academy, the boys and girls walked side by side, but kept a tiny distance between them.
The little boy looked a bit nervous.
He was even a little afraid to get close to the girl.
The girl's smile was so sweet that it seemed to heal all the pain in the world.
Everyone around was amazed...
However, it was ultimately that iconic Uchiha fan that kept ordinary people from getting close.
Only occasionally could one hear a few low sighs.
This Uchiha girl... is so beautiful!
Qingchuan maintained a smile while rapidly replenishing his spiritual energy.
The urge to scream "mmp" inside me never stopped...
I'll say it again.
By dressing in women's clothing, he had already used up all his capacity for shame.
Now...
That's over the limit.
But the crucial point is that he has absolutely no way to solve it!
He must develop the habit of always smiling.
Just like those girls in anime who love to laugh.
In this way, his passive buff becomes an active buff, allowing him to maintain high-speed recovery even during combat!
Even if you cry, you have to cry with a smile!
The two finally arrived at the school gate.
Aokawa finally noticed Itachi's unusual behavior.
"What's wrong, Itachi-kun?" Aokawa asked, puzzled.
The itachi, whose name was called out, immediately snapped to attention!
"Huh?! Oh! It's alright, Haruko..."
He quickly looked up at Haruko, but when he saw her sweet smile, he unconsciously lowered his head again...
Haruko is very happy today...
She looks so beautiful when she smiles!
Seeing this scene.
Besides the shame he had long since grown accustomed to, a deep sense of self-reproach erupted once more in Qingchuan's heart...
He suddenly missed Orochimaru!
That guy is different from Itachi!
When you start conning someone, you don't have to feel any guilt at all!
Qingchuan himself doesn't know how to continue.
Fortunately, as a transfer student personally approved by the Hokage, the teacher in charge of teaching him was already waiting there.
"You must be Haruko, right?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a green vest in the Konoha style, who was also Itachi and Haruko's teacher.
"Yes, teacher."
Qingchuan Tiantian silently gave the teacher a thumbs up in his heart, and responded after being rescued.
The two then followed the teacher to the classroom.
However.
Shortly after they left.
A tall boy with white hair and a half-face mask stared blankly at the two departing figures.
The boy's left eye was closed, and there was a hideous scar on it.
The one eye that was open was filled only with shock!
