Know-It-All? Nobody Knows Better Than Me~

The food at Sanmi Residence was even more delicious than Yuhi Kurenai, Might Guy, and Shiranui Genma had imagined.

And when they learned that Yamanaka Kei actually owned a forty-percent share of the restaurant—

Not only did they not have to pay for their meals, but they also received substantial dividends every month. The Three Little Ones immediately opened up their stomachs and feasted to their hearts' content.

Even Yuhi Kurenai, who had the most refined table manners, was so stuffed after wolfing down her meal that she could barely straighten her back.

She sighed repeatedly to herself.

She had actually worried that a Konoha jonin with such a rotten personality that he would use a Secret Combination Genjutsu on genin might be short on money!

Sure enough, she had been too foolish and naive!

"Teacher Kei, when are we starting the mission?"

After eating and drinking his fill, Shiranui Genma took the initiative to ask about the team's next plans.

Yuhi Kurenai and Might Guy also turned their burning gazes toward Yamanaka Kei.

Of the three-person team, Shiranui Genma and Might Guy had not taken on a mission in a long time because Ebisu had transferred to a clerical position.

With their pockets cleaner than their faces, they had been living an incredibly frugal life.

Although Yuhi Kurenai had worked in logistics for nearly a year and had quite a bit of savings, she had barely carried out any missions before being forced into the logistics division. She was equally eager to go on missions.

Faced with the expectant looks of the Three Little Ones—

Yamanaka Kei, who was also waiting to see the System's "drop rate" by completing professional missions, naturally had no intention of delaying.

"We can head to the Mission Assignment Office in a bit and take a look."

"The footsteps of youth are about to race once more!"

Might Guy sprang up from his seat, looking as though he had been injected with chicken blood.

But before he could strike his signature pose, he clutched his overstuffed stomach and bent forward slightly.

Seeing Shiranui Genma's speechless look, he added without changing expression.

"Youth always has the occasional tiny flaw. Don't worry—in this afternoon's mission, I'll give two hundred percent of my passion and sweat!"

"Yes, yes~"

Shiranui Genma sighed.

Even after being teammates for a full two years, he still had no way of dealing with Might Guy's personality.

Yuhi Kurenai rested her chin on one hand and watched the two bicker with a smile.

She had the feeling that her days ahead would definitely be very interesting.

In Nakayoshi Village, more than ten kilometers southwest of Konoha Village—

An enormous wild boar weighing over a thousand jin, like a moving fortress, had more than a dozen kunai embedded less than an inch deep in its flesh. With blood-red eyes, it charged about like it had gone mad.

The walls and crude traps along its path were like paper, smashed into pieces by its charge.

Might Guy and Shiranui Genma kept feinting from the front, creating an opportunity for Yuhi Kurenai behind them to cast her technique.

After several attempts—

Yuhi Kurenai finally used Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique to confuse the boar's vision.

She successfully lured the boar into the trap they had prepared earlier.

The boar fell into the deep pit and was pierced through by more than a dozen steel forks planted within. After more than ten minutes of roaring and struggling, it gradually fell silent.

The exhausted trio wiped the sweat from their foreheads and let out a collective sigh of relief.

Yamanaka Kei, who had been standing on a rooftop and observing the entire time without intervening, noted down every strength and weakness the three had displayed during the mission.

Just as he was about to go down and offer a few comments, the familiar System prompt sounded in his mind.

Ding~ D-Rank professional mission "Eliminate the Boar Ruining the Farmland" completed. Obtained: None.

First completion of a professional mission. Obtained Entry Draw Opportunity ×2, Entry Gifting Opportunity ×1.

Yamanaka Kei's steps paused slightly.

He had not expected the System to judge the professional mission complete the moment they killed the boar, before they had even returned to Konoha to submit their report.

And because it was his first time completing a professional mission—

He had directly received two Entry Draw Opportunities and one Entry Gifting Opportunity.

As for receiving no reward from an ordinary D-Rank mission, that was within Yamanaka Kei's expectations.

Probability was a matter of luck to begin with.

Besides, the chances of receiving various rewards were most likely directly tied to mission difficulty.

If a D-Rank mission that took an entire afternoon, most of which was spent traveling, could drop rewards every single time—

Yamanaka Kei would probably be able to drag the Sage of Six Paths out of the Pure Land and beat him up in less than a month.

"This crappy System doesn't even have a proper manual."

Yamanaka Kei complained internally about the System's lack of intelligence.

Looking at the two Entry Draw Opportunities on his personal panel, he decisively chose to draw first.

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Blue Entry "Memory Palace" and the White Word Entry "Glass Cannon."

Memory Palace (Blue): The combination of talent and training gives your brain excellent development, allowing you to skillfully use the memory palace method. Learning speed increased, speed-reading ability increased, memory increased.

Glass Cannon (White): Before your physical strength reaches jonin level, the chance of encountering powerful enemies increases, the chance of facing life-or-death crises slightly increases, the chance of breaking through in battle slightly increases, and the chance of survival slightly increases.

"One blue and one white. Not bad."

Yamanaka Kei looked over the detailed explanations for the two entries and directly chose to activate the "Memory Palace" entry.

Whether for studying or research, the higher one's memory, the better.

As for "Glass Cannon"—

It was truly of little use to someone like him, who had already passed the beginner stage.

Moreover, this effect was probably something only a chosen protagonist could withstand during the beginner stage.

Otherwise, no matter how high the chances of breaking through in battle and surviving were, they could not withstand the endless stream of powerful enemies and crises!

Detected that the Blue Entry "Memory Palace" and the Green Entry "Slightly Understand" can be fused. Begin fusion?

"...Fuse."

After hesitating slightly, Yamanaka Kei chose fusion.

Although it was his first time experiencing entry fusion, both entries were related to learning ability and memory.

No matter how they fused, it probably would not screw him over.

An immense flood of memories suddenly boiled up in his mind, countless images flashing past like slides.

Even memories from when he had been four or five years old in his previous life, which he had long forgotten, became incomparably clear at that moment!

Kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, university...

Countless vast and complicated memories were sorted and stored within the Memory Palace!

Among them, memories of watching the Naruto anime and reading all sorts of related posts were conspicuously stored separately.

Once the memories of his previous life had been sorted out, the memories of this life unfolded like a painting as well.

This included the memories he had read from the minds of other ninja while working in the Analysis Team, all of which were completely preserved.

The boiling memories gradually calmed.

The System prompt followed closely after, entering Yamanaka Kei's mind.

Fusion complete. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Blue Entry "Ninja World Know-It-All."

Ninja World Know-It-All (Blue): The perfect application of the memory palace method grants you nearly infinite memory. The vast memories of two lifetimes also give you knowledge of numerous life experiences, secrets of the Ninja World, various ninjutsu, and secret techniques. Learning speed increased, speed-reading ability increased, memory increased.

"Damn! Isn't this basically an instant takeoff?!"

Yamanaka Kei felt the crystal-clear memories in his mind, his eyes filled with excitement.
