Looking at those Sharingan, Higashino Kanade uncontrollably recalled the scene from the Ninja World War, when Madara-sama had crushed him to death.

That domineering figure, that peerless combat power, that invincible Mangekyo Sharingan.

Before Uchiha Madara, Higashino Kanade had been like an ant, effortlessly crushed to pieces.

"Do you want to dance too?"

I don't want to die!!!!

The terror and despair brought by death, along with a surge of rage, flooded Higashino Kanade's mind. His entire body shook violently, and the bewitching one-tomoe Sharingan in his pupils spun madly as a new tomoe split off.

Congratulations on unlocking the "two-tomoe Sharingan." You have gained the "Copy" ability. Your Chakra reserves have increased slightly, and your appearance has improved slightly.

Higashino Kanade suddenly snapped back to his senses. His entire body was drenched in sweat as though he had just stepped out of a sauna, and his hands were still trembling uncontrollably from his fear of death.

"Kanade, are you okay?"

Ryougi Shiki hurried to his side and supported him with one hand.

From Ryougi Shiki's perspective, after killing Shirou Shiratsuyu, Higashino Kanade had excitedly rushed to the riverbank. Then he had begun trembling all over like he had gone mad, unprecedented killing intent pouring from his body. The moment Ryougi Shiki approached him, she felt as if she were facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

What exactly had Kanade experienced to possess such killing intent?

The terrifying killing intent did not frighten Ryougi Shiki. Instead, it stirred her curiosity.

Risking an attack from the "mad" Higashino Kanade, she went over to support him, only to see a pair of ominous, demonic eyes.

What beautiful eyes!

Ryougi Shiki could not help but admire them inwardly. Then she suddenly realized that Higashino Kanade seemed to have become much more handsome again.

"Are you all right? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?" Ryougi Shiki asked worriedly.

Leaning against Ryougi Shiki's chest, Higashino Kanade shook his head and said weakly, "No need. I was just too happy."

"That's good, then."

Ryougi Shiki let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a strange sensation came from her chest. Looking down, she found Higashino Kanade rubbing his face back and forth against her breasts.

Only by Coming Infinitely Close to Death Can One Understand the True Meaning of Life

Soft, small, so comfortable!

Higashino Kanade wore the same smile Konohamaru had when he crashed into Tsunade's chest, rubbing against her without restraint.

Seeing Higashino Kanade smile so strangely, a powerful wave of displeasure surged through Ryougi Shiki. Although she was not someone who cared much about gender, the instincts of her female body still made her draw her sword in an instant and place it against Higashino Kanade's neck.

"Give me an explanation."

Ryougi Shiki's hair fluttered without wind, and a rare blush appeared on her fair face. The killing intent she gave off made Higashino Kanade shudder, instantly clearing his head.

Damn it! I actually took advantage of Sister Shiki!

Cold sweat instantly covered Higashino Kanade's back. His sensitivity to danger made his mind race at high speed. He knew that if he did not say something soon, his fate would likely be grim.

To put it somewhat crudely, Higashino Kanade's desire for breasts came from instinct.

Ever since crossing over, Higashino Kanade had been single for nearly fifty years. On top of that, he had studied under Jiraiya and read Icha Icha Paradise quite often. Higashino Kanade was a classic closet pervert.

The physical and mental exhaustion caused by awakening the two-tomoe Sharingan had loosened Higashino Kanade's mind for the first time in a long while. Lying in Ryougi Shiki's arms and feeling the softness of her body, he had acted on instinct.

Thinking about it now, he really had been bold just then. Still, it had been totally worth it!

An idea suddenly came to Higashino Kanade. His eyes took on a childlike innocence as he said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Just now, you made me feel like I was with my mother, so I couldn't help doing that. It was my fault."

Mother?

Ryougi Shiki froze. Then she recalled Higashino Kanade's actions just now, which did resemble a child acting spoiled.

On top of that, Higashino Kanade was still very young, wore an innocent expression, and his extraordinary looks made his words seem much more believable. Ryougi Shiki subconsciously believed his nonsense.

Ryougi Shiki sheathed her sword, and Higashino Kanade sighed inwardly in relief. At a critical moment, his acting skills had saved his life again.

Ryougi Shiki was not entirely angry because Higashino Kanade had taken advantage of her. What angered her more was the strange feeling he gave her. When he had rubbed against her, she had felt something indescribable, though she could not tell whether that feeling had been unpleasant.

"Don't go looking for motherly love from me. I don't want to be your mother," Ryougi Shiki said unhappily, releasing Higashino Kanade and putting away her sword.

I don't want to be your son either.

Higashino Kanade breathed a sigh of relief, then sensed his two-tomoe Sharingan.

The Sharingan was the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit. From low to high, they were: One-tomoe Sharingan, two-tomoe Sharingan, three-tomoe Sharingan, Mangekyo Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and Rinnegan.

Every increase in level unlocked new abilities and brought the user a tremendous increase in strength.

The one-tomoe Sharingan granted its user powerful insight, allowing them to see the flow of Chakra within an enemy's body.

The two-tomoe Sharingan granted its user the ability to copy, allowing them to easily replicate an enemy's ninjutsu, taijutsu, and Genjutsu, excluding bloodline limit techniques.

Besides greatly enhancing the first two abilities, the three-tomoe Sharingan also allowed its user to become immune to most Genjutsu and even reflect Genjutsu back at the caster.

Now that Higashino Kanade had awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan, he possessed powerful insight and copying abilities. Moreover, as the Sharingan's level rose, the amount of Chakra in his body had also increased. His Chakra reserves now exceeded those of an average Genin but fell short of those of an average Chunin.

Many ninjutsu he had previously been unable to use were now within his grasp.

"What convenient eyes. No wonder all the major final bosses later on were from the Uchiha clan."

Higashino Kanade swept his gaze across the surroundings with his Sharingan. He could clearly see the movement of the wind, the dust floating in the air, and the frequency at which insects beat their wings. The world had never appeared so clear to him.

"This is..."

Higashino Kanade's eyes suddenly trembled. Someone had appeared very close to him and Ryougi Shiki at some unknown point.

No, "appeared" was not the right word. That person had been standing there all along, but a curtain of energy covered his body, making it impossible for ordinary people to notice him.

Higashino Kanade knew this person. He was the Magus who looked somewhat like a monk, whom he had seen in Shirou Shiratsuyu's Mental Space—the mastermind who had given Shirou Shiratsuyu his power.

He simply stood there and observed in silence, like a dull stone. His expression showed neither sorrow nor joy, only immense pressure and a face painful to look at.

Higashino Kanade paused for only a moment before continuing to examine his surroundings as though nothing had happened. The Magus had not realized that he had already been exposed beneath Higashino Kanade's Sharingan and continued watching.

Host, I didn't want to disturb you while you were so happy just now, but there is actually a follow-up mission after the beginner mission.

What mission? Hurry up and say it! I'm busy right now!

Ding! System follow-up mission triggered! Mission Name: The Mastermind Time Limit: Three years (Exceeding the time limit will be considered mission failure.) Description: After killing Shirou Shiratsuyu, you accidentally discovered that he was merely a pawn. The true mastermind, Araya Souren, is still manipulating everything from behind the scenes. You are furious and resolve to take revenge on the mastermind and personally kill him. Mission Reward: One Gold Treasure Chest Mission Failure: Death! (Three years is already more than generous of this system.)

Furious? Furious my ass! I don't want to cause trouble at all! I just want to live off women!

Just as Higashino Kanade was on the verge of tears, the system issued another mission.

Ding! System temporary mission triggered! Mission Name: First Step of Revenge Time Limit: 1 hour (Exceeding the time limit will be considered mission failure.) Description: You have found the mastermind. Furious, you decide to kill him on the spot and make him feel Higashino Kanade's wrath. At the same time, you think he is extremely ugly, so much so that you want to mock him: "If you're this ugly, don't come out and scare people. You must have been single since birth, right?" Mission Reward: One Silver Treasure Chest Mission Failure: Death! (Only by coming infinitely close to death can one understand the true meaning of life.)

I'm not! I didn't!

System, if you want me dead, just say so! That Magus is so powerful. It would be one thing if I had the strength of a Jonin, but as I am now, he'll definitely beat me to death!

Higashino Kanade roared inwardly.

Host, there is no need to worry. The enemy before you is merely a puppet, and is much weaker than the original body. The real one is hiding somewhere else.

A puppet is still too much for me! Can't you let me develop for another three years?

Driving the host into a desperate situation and allowing the host to grow stronger in adversity is this system's guiding principle. If the host cannot even handle a minor boss like this, how will you complete the suicidal missions issued by this system in the future?

Suicidal missions? You really do want me dead, don't you?

Ah, you found out. May your martial luck endure!

Playing Hard to Get

No matter how Higashino Kanade cursed the system's ancestors afterward, the system remained as unresponsive as if it had crashed.

The Magus beside them, Araya Souren, remained motionless, staring at them with an especially chilling gaze. With only one hour left, Higashino Kanade understood that he could not resist the Damn System.

Still, Higashino Kanade was not particularly afraid. After activating his Sharingan, his strength had increased considerably. In addition, he had made many preparations beforehand to kill Shirou Shiratsuyu. He was confident that he could kill Araya Souren.

What he was thinking about now was how to secure more benefits for himself. Perhaps he could use this battle with Araya Souren to raise Ryougi Shiki's favorability toward him.

Higashino Kanade's mind raced, and before long, a reliable plan gradually took shape.

"Stop spacing out. Your revenge has been taken, so it's time to go home. I'll ask my family to handle the rest," Ryougi Shiki said, patting Higashino Kanade's shoulder after seeing him stand there in a daze for a while.

Suddenly, Higashino Kanade stepped forward and tightly hugged Ryougi Shiki, raising his head to blow gently into her ear.

"Wait! Don't look for motherly love from me again. Let go of me!"

Thinking that Higashino Kanade was merely acting spoiled like last time, Ryougi Shiki raised her fist and unceremoniously punched his back several times.

"Don't resist. Listen to me, someone is watching us."

Higashino Kanade's words entered Ryougi Shiki's ears. His serious tone made her involuntarily stop moving.

"Do we have to talk like this? It feels a little uncomfortable."

Ryougi Shiki truly did feel uncomfortable. She felt her body heating up and her heart beating rapidly.

With a completely serious expression, Higashino Kanade said, "The enemy is very close to us. Keep your voice down, or they'll hear us."

Hearing this, Ryougi Shiki glanced around but did not see anyone. She could not help suspecting that Higashino Kanade was lying, but recalling his earlier miraculous methods, she decided to first hear what he had to say.

If Higashino Kanade could not give her a satisfactory answer, she decided she would stab him no matter what.

"Listen carefully. I'll make this brief. The enemy is probably after you, and I'm certain of that. In a moment, I'll fight him and hold him off. Take the chance to leave and find your family to bring reinforcements."

"Is the enemy very strong?" Ryougi Shiki breathed into Higashino Kanade's ear.

"I don't know, but he should be much stronger than Shirou Shiratsuyu. You'd better have your family bring firearms. AK-47s, RPGs, bring them all."

Ryougi Shiki froze. She had already realized the danger of the situation. If even Higashino Kanade, who was so strong, had to call for reinforcements, then the enemy had to be incredibly powerful.

"Can't we pretend we didn't see anything, go to my house first, and make plans afterward?"

Ryougi Shiki began worrying about this boy she had known for only a few days. She had never expected that he would voluntarily stay behind to buy time for her.

"I interrogated him with Genjutsu. He is the mastermind who turned Shirou Shiratsuyu into a Murderer, and also the culprit who killed my parents. I'm going to settle things with him here."

Higashino Kanade's tone became impassioned, making him look exactly like a revenge-seeker consumed by rage.

Ryougi Shiki did not try to persuade him further. Instead, she whispered into his ear, "Don't die. There's still a fight between us that hasn't happened."

It had to be said, the excuse of avenging his parents worked every time. It perfectly concealed Higashino Kanade's true thoughts.

If he could, Higashino Kanade would have liked to follow Ryougi Shiki's suggestion, pretend he had seen nothing, avoid the danger, and make plans afterward.

But the Damn System had given him only one hour. If he did not personally kill Araya Souren, then he himself would die. Higashino Kanade had no choice but to fight.

Fortunately, his cleverness had allowed him to raise her favorability through this opportunity. He had also gotten to hug Sister Shiki openly for a long time. It was still a huge profit.
