S and B-Rank Gift Boxes, Charm 40 Unlocked

Inside the Uchiha clan compound, in the Hokage's Office, Shinji remained completely unaware of the arguments revolving around him.

At Shinji's home.

He sat on the first-floor sofa, his back pressed tightly against the cushions, his gaze fixed on the pale blue screen before him.

On the left side of the screen was his Personal Panel. Two gift boxes lay quietly in the inventory below.

"Time to open some boxes. I wonder what good stuff I'll get this time."

"One S-rank, one B-rank."

Shinji muttered to himself, then suddenly stiffened and hurriedly coughed. "It's just a coincidence! Ignore it, ignore it!"

He had obtained these two gift boxes after completing the two Side Quests, "Keep It Up" and "Comfort," and had kept them until now.

Today, he planned to open them both at once.

"Let's start with the B-rank Gift Box!"

With a thought, Shinji selected the B-rank Gift Box.

The instant the lid opened, just like when he had opened the A-rank Gift Box last time, a massive roulette wheel engraved with intricate patterns appeared out of thin air.

The wheel was divided into several sections: ninjutsu, talents, chakra, ninja tools, and more.

B-rank Gift Box opening. Please wait...

The bronze pointer spun rapidly before gradually coming to a stop.

Gift Box reward type: Item

New item obtained: 5 KG of Chakra Metal

Description: A special metal capable of efficiently conducting, storing, and amplifying chakra.

Good stuff!

Shinji's eyes lit up.

After tapping to claim it, the Chakra Metal appeared before him out of thin air.

He reached out and caught it steadily, carefully examining the metal.

It gave off a faint bluish-green sheen and felt cold to the touch. It was neither as dull and pale as ordinary refined iron nor as glaring as silver.

He slowly infused a trace of chakra into it, and the metal immediately lit up. The glow was not dazzling, but it was exceptionally clear.

"Such a big piece is enough to make two or three Ninja Swords," Shinji calculated inwardly. "I can make one Ninja Sword first, then use all the remaining material to make exquisite kunai and give them to Rin and the others."

In an instant, he had put every bit of the metal to use.

Shinji's gaze then fell upon the S-rank Gift Box in his inventory.

He subconsciously rubbed his hands together, his heartbeat quickening.

"An S-rank Gift Box... this should be the highest grade available right now, shouldn't it?"

With a thought, he chose to open it directly.

The next second, a massive roulette wheel appeared, hovering in midair.

Unlike the lower-grade gift boxes, this time the pointers were entirely gilded, and three of them had appeared at once.

Shinji immediately grasped the pattern:

The B-rank Gift Box had one bronze pointer and awarded only one reward;

The A-rank Gift Box had silver pointers and could draw two rewards;

And the S-rank Gift Box had three golden pointers and could draw three rewards.

As for whether C-rank or D-rank Gift Boxes existed, he had no way of knowing for now.

There was still far too much hidden within this system, waiting for him to uncover it bit by bit.

Suppressing his scattered thoughts, Shinji stared unblinkingly at the roulette wheel. He had gone through so much trouble to get this S-rank treasure chest—it had better give him some real good stuff.

S-rank Gift Box opening. Please wait...

The three golden pointers spun madly, their light dazzling, before finally slowing down and stopping.

"Izanagi!!"

"And I learned it outright!"

Shinji's startled cry echoed through the empty hall.

He had never imagined that this S-Rank Gift Box would yield such an ultimate surprise.

With this technique, Danzo had endured Sasuke's Susanoo's relentless bombardment for ten minutes without dying.

Obito had relied on it to emerge unscathed from Konan's continuous detonations of six hundred billion Explosive Tags, then turned around and killed her instead.

At the brink of life and death, this was a trump card capable of defying fate.

In Shinji's eyes, Izanagi was not a ninjutsu at all, but a save-and-reload system for life.

As long as he had enough Sharingan, it was equivalent to having countless lives.

It meant he could save and reload endlessly.

Who wouldn't go mad at the chance to live life over again?

No wonder this technique had sparked Uchiha Clan infighting, eventually being classified as a forbidden technique and sealed away completely.

To learn this forbidden technique now, he would likely have to seek out Madara Uchiha or infiltrate the Uchiha forbidden grounds to steal its secrets.

Yet now, he had obtained it out of thin air.

Shinji closed his eyes. Knowledge of Izanagi continuously surfaced in his mind, and half an hour later, he suddenly opened them again. He had completely mastered the forbidden technique.

"Though I don't really want to blind my own eyes, if it truly comes down to life or death, I'll use it when I have to. I can't afford to worry about too much."

"Or maybe I should find a way to get some Sharingan."

Instinctively, he set his sights on his own clansmen.

But he quickly abandoned the thought. A guilty expression appeared on Shinji's face as he rebuked himself, "I'm a member of the Uchiha Clan with great love in my heart. How could I be such an animal!"

Shinji suddenly had an idea.

"Maybe I can use this technique to save Rin!"

He knew that Rin might still be targeted by Madara Uchiha and become the sacrifice for Obito's fall into darkness. His original plan had been to keep watch over Rin and prevent her from being captured by Kirigakure's ninjas. But knowing that Madara Uchiha surely had many methods at his disposal, along with the elusive White Zetsu, he felt that plan would be difficult to carry out.

Keeping watch over Rin at all times was neither realistic nor safe, but today, he had a new idea.

"As long as I can find a Sharingan, and that technique!"

Shinji could not think of any leads for the moment. He frowned slightly and could only set his doubts aside for now.

He shifted his gaze back to his Personal Panel and quickly noticed something unusual.

[Charm: 43]

This attribute had originally been displayed in ordinary black text, but now it carried a faint golden glow.

"That isn't right. It should be 38."

He calculated silently, Two gift boxes—one gave Charm +3, the other Charm +5. No matter how I count it, it shouldn't be 43.

Curious, Shinji lightly tapped the "Charm" section.

A notification immediately popped up above the system panel.

He hurriedly opened the message tab and discovered that aside from the newly popped-up notification, there was also an unread message from a day ago.

Shinji opened the old message first.

[Charm +5]

[Description: Because the host has accumulated a certain degree of prestige among the villagers and has also grown stronger, Charm has received an additional increase.]

[Note: Strength gives you confidence, and prestige gives you popularity!]

"So that's how it is."

Shinji muttered under his breath, "The Charm attribute doesn't necessarily have to be increased through system gift boxes alone."

"That makes sense. The system wouldn't raise Charm without limits either. Most of it still depends on oneself. In real life, strength, status, and reputation all naturally make a person more charming."

Having figured that out, he looked at the newly refreshed notification.

[Detected that the host's Charm has reached 40 points]

[Charm milestone achievement completed]

[Reward obtained: Kekkei Genkai: Transparent Release]

[Description: Allows the body to become completely transparent, vanish entirely from sight, blend into the surroundings, and erase one's scent and Chakra fluctuations. Ordinary sensory ninjas will find it extremely difficult to detect.]

[Note: You can't see me~ Guess who I am?]

Shinji: "..."
