Honestly, I'm Panicking Too

"Kira, don't let me down!" the Fourth Raikage murmured.

It was rare for a talent to emerge, but if he turned out to be a spy, that would be far too disappointing.

Kumogakure was desperately short on talent!

He did not want to let any talent slip away.

"Jinghong, come with us."

Ye Liangnai, who had been preparing to move, was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Anbu.

Since they were all Anbu, they naturally addressed Ye Liangnai by his Anbu codename.

"Let's go."

Looking at the two people before him, Ye Liangnai thought, They came so quickly? Your patience isn't very good, Lord Raikage.

The Intelligence Department's Anbu had arrived even sooner than he had expected.

Sister, bless me. I hope the people under you are skilled enough!

Otherwise, I'm going to be exposed!

Ye Liangnai could not be certain whether the memory secret technique seal in his mind could withstand a second inspection.

So, all he could do now was pray!

At dusk!

"Jinghong, that's enough. You may leave."

Suppressing the pain in his head, Ye Liangnai glanced at the expressions of the Intelligence Department personnel.

After confirming that their calm looks were not feigned, he nodded and left.

Looks like I wasn't exposed!

With that thought, Ye Liangnai walked out of the Anbu.

As for the system, no one besides Ye Liangnai himself could detect its existence.

Not even through memories! There would not be the slightest trace of the system!

After returning home—

He collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep. His head was so muddled that he had no energy for anything else.

Raikage's Office!

"No abnormalities? It seems I may have been overly suspicious!"

Setting down the report delivered by the Intelligence Department, the Fourth Raikage leaned back in his chair, his furrowed brow relaxing slightly.

Even though the report showed that Kira could use the Mist Concealment Technique, he did not find anything strange about it.

As someone from Kirigakure, it was hardly unusual for him to know the Mist Concealment Technique.

Now, all he had to do was wait for Tenshin to return before deciding how to deal with Ye Liangnai!

The next day!

Ye Liangnai was awakened by the sun.

Even after a night of rest, his head still hurt badly, but that did not stop him from moving house!

"The Fourth Raikage is quite considerate. This new house is bright, spotless, spacious, well-lit, well-ventilated, and soundproof."

"Most importantly, the decor is pleasant to look at!"

By the time he finished dealing with these trivial matters, it was already noon.

The commercial street was not far downstairs, and there was no shortage of places to eat. That was much better than having to travel a long way for meals like before!

That afternoon!

After waking from his nap, Ye Liangnai went to report for Anbu duty.

As an Anbu, unless it was a scheduled day off,

there was almost no free time. The village needed them involved in all kinds of matters.

It gave Ye Liangnai the same feeling he had once experienced in Kirigakure.

However, their captain, Tenshin, was absent. Only an acting captain was leading them on missions.

"As expected, Anbu members spend most of their time on duty!"

Standing atop a watchtower at Kumogakure's border, Ye Liangnai swung his sword as he thought this.

It passed the time while earning Enhancement Points—a win-win situation!

"You're too diligent, Jinghong. You're putting a lot of pressure on us!"

Not far from Ye Liangnai, an Anbu under Tenshin teased him.

Do not assume that Anbu always spoke coldly.

In fact, they acted quite normally around their own people.

"Can't be helped. I can't afford to slack off, or I might disappoint Lord Raikage's expectations!"

As Ye Liangnai spoke those insincere words, the other Anbu could not help laughing, then simply let it pass.

Naturally, they would not imitate Ye Liangnai and swing their swords, because they did not believe it had any effect on becoming stronger.

A week passed slowly like this.

Through Ye Liangnai's tireless efforts, he earned a total of 150,000 Enhancement Points in seven days.

As for gathering intelligence, there was probably no place more suitable than the Anbu.

As an Anbu member, Ye Liangnai could obtain a great deal of intelligence without much effort.

Night!

After returning home, Ye Liangnai sat cross-legged on his bed and connected with the system in his mind.

"Enhance attributes: Speed, Agility, Energy!"

At the jonin level, each attribute required 50,000 points to enhance. Enhancing all three attributes came to exactly 150,000.

"Enhancement commencing. This enhancement will consume 150,000 Enhancement Points."

The system's cold, mechanical voice sounded in Ye Liangnai's mind.

Then, his aura began to fluctuate and rapidly rise.

Every enhancement was Ye Liangnai's favorite process. That warm feeling of becoming stronger was rather addictive.

Ten minutes later.

"Enhancement successful. After completing the Strength attribute enhancement, the host will achieve the Jonin Invincible achievement!"

The system's sudden prompt piqued Ye Liangnai's interest.

He asked, "What does achieving it do?"

System: "The host will not receive any increase in strength or any reward as a result."

"The system merely provides a standard notification, allowing the host to understand the level of his own strength!"

Ye Liangnai rolled his eyes after hearing that and said in great disappointment, "Tch, I thought there'd be some special reward or bonus!"

A system panel appeared before him.

Host: Ye Liangnai

Age: 12

Swordsmanship: Flash

Ninjutsu: Mist Concealment Technique, Water Clone Technique, Water Wall Technique, Water Spear Technique

Lightning Pillar Wall, Gratitude Wave, Lightning Bullet Technique, Lightning Strike Formation

Barrier Jutsu: Silent Skill Array, Perception Array, Six Pillars Flame Formation

Sealing Technique: Binding Flow Karma Curse

Genjutsu: Nirvana Technique, Binding Technique

Weapon: Hundred Refinements Katana

Level: Jonin (Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, Kage, Super Kage, Six Paths)

Enhancement Points: 1000

"My current strength should surpass most jonin, right?"

Ye Liangnai got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, thinking this to himself.

After the enhancement, his body had expelled some impurities, and the smell was rather strong.

According to the system's earlier prompt, once he enhanced Strength, he would become invincible among jonin!

With three jonin-level attributes already, his strength should not be weak at all.

At the very least, he should surpass the vast majority of jonin.

His strength should be roughly on par with Kakashi's at this point!

If an elite jonin was a 10, then he should currently be at 7.5.

And the specific meanings of Strength, Speed, Agility, and Energy were—

Strength: Beginning with arm and leg strength, it represented the body's power.

Speed: It represented bodily speed, including reaction speed, thinking speed, Hand Seal speed, attack speed, and so on.

Agility: It represented the body's dexterity and the coordination of its muscles.

Energy: It represented the amount of Chakra, the purity of Chakra refinement, and the precision of Chakra control.
