All martial arts under heaven are invincible, only the swift cannot be broken!

Might Guy danced about, pulling a rolled-up piece of paper from the backpack on his back.

"What is that?" Kakashi and Uchiha Mai looked over curiously and asked.

Might Guy spread the paper out; it was a poster of Princess Tsunade. The yellowing paper could not hide the heroic bearing of the woman depicted.

In the poster, Princess Tsunade wore the standard Konoha jonin vest, her long golden hair fluttering in the wind. Her features were exquisite, her figure explosive, and her gaze was filled with a chilling murderous intent.

Her heroic spirit was so dashing that it left one yearning for her.

"Dad said that Princess Tsunade is his idol. When he learned my mission was to retrieve Princess Tsunade, he gave me this poster he's cherished for many years and asked me to get an autograph from her on his behalf."

Might Guy explained as such.

So that's how it is. Uchiha Mai suddenly realized; it turned out Might Duy was a fanboy.

However, it was quite reasonable for Might Duy to be a fan of Princess Tsunade. After all, they were both taijutsu-type ninjas, and the latter also possessed a magnificent bust of at least 106 centimeters, with a cup size of at least L.

And what man could refuse such big breasts?

The three little ones studied the poster for a long time. It wasn't until more than ten minutes past the agreed-upon meeting time that Master Minato finally arrived late.

"Did Master Minato run into someone who needed help on the way again?" Uchiha Mai asked, taking the initiative to find an excuse for Master Minato.

"That's not it..."

Master Minato scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed as he explained: "Although it is true that I was helping someone.

Kushina heard I was going to Tanzaku Town and gave me a very long list, saying there were things she wanted to buy, as they are much cheaper in Tanzaku Town.

Before leaving this morning, she even dragged me to buy a camera at the last minute, telling me to take some photos with the local flavor of Tanzaku Town to bring back to her."

The three little ones: "..."

Case closed: Master Minato's primary job is a ninja, and his side job is a personal shopper.

As the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, Kushina's daily movements were restricted by the village, so it was only natural for her to yearn for fresh things from the outside world.

With the team assembled, the group finally set off on their journey to Tanzaku Town.

As one of the famous hot spring and gambling cities in the ninja world, Tanzaku Town was located within the borders of Konoha. It was less than a hundred kilometers away, a distance that could be covered in a single day.

During the journey, Master Minato chattered incessantly, educating his three students and repeating various precautions over and over again. He was very responsible.

Except for Might Guy, Uchiha Mai and Kakashi let it go in one ear and out the other. Master Minato still hadn't found the right way to educate geniuses and cheaters.

At lunch, Uchiha Mai casually opened the system interface.

[Style Points: 337]

After beating Kakashi up, his Style Points had once again risen to over three hundred, enough for a satisfying one-star draw.

Uchiha Mai's original plan was to save the Style Points. His strength was currently progressing rapidly, and if he developed (bootlegged) a few more Nintaijutsu techniques, the system might upgrade, allowing him to pull from a one-and-a-half-star prize pool.

But plans couldn't keep up with changes. He hadn't expected Master Minato to be so inflated that he would casually accept an A-rank mission to retrieve Princess Tsunade.

Princess Tsunade, as a character with a significant role in the original plot, would likely yield no less "wool" to be sheared than Namikaze Minato.

Therefore, doing a one-star draw now to improve his strength and let Master Minato and Princess Tsunade be "shocked" once more would surely earn him plenty more Style Points.

Your money hasn't disappeared; it has just changed form to stay by your side.jpg

All in!

Uchiha Mai steeled his heart, dumped 300 Style Points, and clicked for a single draw from the one-star prize pool.

The damn system was, in a sense, quite conscientious; it didn't engage in Tencent or Pinduoduo-style operations involving reward fragments. At most, the rewards were just more or less useful.

A few seconds later, a card popped out of the prize pool.

[Gongshoudao · One-star Reward

Of all the martial arts in the world, none are invincible; only speed is unbreakable!

It is rumored that a certain Ma the Tycoon relied on this skill to beat all the heroes of the world. Experts like Zhan Lang, Wong Fei-hung, Fong Sai-yuk, Huo Yuanjia, Chen Zhen, and Ip Man were all unable to withstand a single blow from him.

This reward is an active skill: Pay a certain amount of wealth to increase the host's fixed combat power for a period of time.

The wealth consumption and duration can both be customized. The amount of combat power increase depends on the former two, and there are diminishing returns.]

Holy crap, how did I pull such an unlucky skill.

Uchiha Mai frowned slightly. He recognized the Ma the Tycoon mentioned in the description—a famous big capitalist, notoriously heartless, who had famously said things like "Business is the greatest charity" and "996 is a blessing."

Heartless or not, he was truly a tycoon. This Ma the Tycoon and the Uchiha Mai of his past life combined could have shaken the economy of all of Asia.

This [Gongshoudao] skill was likely a parody of a micro-movie that Ma the Tycoon had starred in as a vanity project.

The damn system really played dirty, capable of pulling off any rotten stunt, but this skill was just a bit too complicated.

"System, what's the deal with this 'fixed combat power'? Explain it in detail," Uchiha Mai asked. He had to understand the specifics.

A few seconds later, a line of small text appeared on the panel.

[Assuming the host's current combat power is 30, if you pay 100,000 ryo and set the duration to 1 minute, you will gain a comprehensive combat power increase of +1 for the next minute.

If you pay 100,000 ryo and set the duration to 5 seconds, you will gain a comprehensive combat power increase of +8 for the next 5 seconds.

The more wealth paid and the shorter the set time, the greater the increase in combat power.]

[The increase in combat power only scales with cost and duration; it is independent of the host's own combat power and is subject to diminishing returns.]

Uchiha Mai rubbed his chin, understanding now—this was an early-game skill. Much like a Berserker in Dungeon & Fighter, the skill damage was fixed.

Even if his own combat power were to rise from 100 to 1 million, as long as the wealth paid and the time set remained the same, the boosted combat power would not change.

Furthermore, due to the existence of diminishing returns, the skill was undoubtedly more valuable when one was weaker.

Increasing combat power by 10 points when at 100 is a completely different matter than increasing it by 50 points when at 1 million.

It was a very interesting skill.

"What is the definition of wealth?" Uchiha Mai asked again.

[Currency in the broad sense; gold, silver, and jewelry can all be used as the cost for the skill.

Real estate, such as houses, land, and shares in merchant guilds, cannot be used as cost.]

The damn system was quite specific.

It seemed that in the short term, besides improving his strength and developing new moves, he also had to find a way to make some money.

Along the way, Uchiha Mai pondered the get-rich-quick schemes he could currently implement. Having finally obtained a skill, the novelty hadn't worn off yet, and he had to test whether it was any good.

At sunset, the group finally arrived at Tanzaku Town.

Master Minato rummaged through his wallet; the money meant for Kushina's shopping couldn't be touched, so there wasn't much disposable income left.

Short on cash, Master Minato had no choice but to find a rather dilapidated Regent Grand Hotel on the outskirts of Tanzaku Town, intending to rent a room and make do for the night.
