Mission Rewards

Having made up his mind, Yang Xing pressed the claim button. It was his only option.

"Let's see what the rewards are."

Claim successful: Evolution Fruit ×2, Unique Random Aura ×2, Unique Achievement: Defeater of the Legendary Fourth Hokage obtained!

"This sounds incredibly overpowered. I didn't expect a five-star rating to double the rewards."

Looking at the descriptions, Yang Xing understood that without the five-star rating, he might have received only one of those fruits, and the aura might not have been Unique rank. He certainly wouldn't have gotten two of them.

After all, even the fruit alone was immensely useful.

Evolution Fruit: Can be consumed to directly improve one's physical constitution; can also be used to upgrade an aura or another ability from a Unique or higher-ranked achievement. (Note: Consuming the fruit has severe side effects for humans. Only one Evolution Fruit may be consumed per year.)

Looking at the petite fruit, Yang Xing felt a little excited. Although he could only eat one a year, he had finally found a way to improve his physical constitution. That seemed pretty great.

He didn't eat it just yet. Instead, he decided to check out the other two rewards first.

He had thought the Evolution Fruit was already impressive, but the aura made Yang Xing's heart race even faster.

God's Plunder (Unique Aura): Gain the target's aura attributes by killing them. Auras cannot be duplicated or stacked.

Undying Body (Unique Aura): Negates one otherwise fatal injury. Afterward, the user enters a weakened state for 10 seconds and cannot move. Usable once per day.

Auras were divided into Ordinary, Unique, and Rare. Unlike achievements, even an Ordinary aura granted substantial attribute bonuses, improved various abilities, and provided unexpected functions.

Yang Xing had no way of knowing what those functions were. He only knew that everyone in this world received aura bonuses. The system had even provided an example.

Hokage (Unique Aura Title): +500 percent ninjutsu power; +200 percent endurance; +100 percent chakra.

Five times the ninjutsu power! That alone was an incredible temptation. After seeing the description, Yang Xing had almost wanted to take down the Hokage and plunder the title. Of course, it was just a thought.

After glancing over the auras, Yang Xing's attention ultimately returned to the Evolution Fruit. Improving his physical constitution was definitely a must.

The fruit was barely the size of his palm. Without hesitation, he popped it into his mouth.

As he bit into it, he tasted the fragrant flesh. What flavor was this? Banana? No. Apple? No. Whatever it was, it was pretty tasty.

"Why am I so sleepy? I'm really tired. I haven't even looked at the achievement yet. Forget it. I'll do it tomorrow." After swallowing the fruit, Yang Xing began to feel drowsy. Perhaps that was part of its effect. The sleepiness gradually became unbearable, so he could only pull the covers over himself and let himself drift off.

Morning came, and the sunlight was blinding.

When he woke up, Yang Xing discovered that his abilities had changed.

Most notably, his chakra had risen to the lower-middle level.

Everything else had reached the upper-low level.

According to the system's classifications, an average Chunin should be at least at the middle level, while an average Jonin should be at least at the lower-high level.

In this world, the highest level currently shown was the highest level of physical constitution. Of course, there were other levels above that, but they weren't included in the system's current descriptions.

"Then a guy like Madara should have a physical constitution close to the highest level, right?" Sitting cross-legged and looking over his stats, Yang Xing muttered to himself.

Truthfully, Yang Xing hadn't paid much attention to physical constitution. External factors could create major differences, but being one or two minor levels apart didn't make much difference in strength.

Naturally, that didn't apply below the Jonin level.

A low level of physical constitution could be deadly. Take chakra, for example: it determined how many ninjutsu one could cast consecutively. It was a crucial attribute.

So, having suddenly reached a level close to that of a Chunin left Yang Xing a little excited.

"Considering the Uzumaki Clan, the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki should have at least the highest level of chakra, right?" Yang Xing pursed his lips. He didn't think too much of it. Physical constitution only determined how one cast ninjutsu and how powerful it was.

Actually landing a hit every time still depended on the person.

Putting those thoughts aside, Yang Xing checked the achievement he hadn't looked at the day before.

Defeater of the Legendary Fourth Hokage: Ninjutsu not selected. Please choose.

He hadn't expected it to grant him ninjutsu.

According to the description, he could randomly select one A-rank, two B-rank, or four C-rank techniques. His own attributes wouldn't matter; he would master the techniques directly, and their power would be enhanced.

It was an incredibly powerful Unique Achievement.

"A-rank ninjutsu? I can even learn a Kekkei Genkai? Should I just learn the Sharingan?" Yang Xing found the Single Tomoe Sharingan under Kekkei Genkai. He had originally planned to confirm it, but after thinking it over, he stopped. "No, no. I'm not from the Uchiha Clan. If I learn it now, I won't be able to use it often, and if anyone finds out, explaining it will be a hassle. It's powerful, but not very practical. I'd better pick something else."

Yang Xing knew very well that if he learned the Sharingan and got caught, the Uchiha Clan would definitely come and kill him.

The Uchiha Clan hadn't been wiped out yet, and they had a great deal of influence in Konoha.

"One A-rank super technique won't mean much to me when I don't have much chakra. So I should consider the B- and C-rank techniques." Yang Xing hesitated between the B- and C-rank techniques. His gaze shifted back and forth before he finally took a deep breath to steady himself and murmured, "In terms of quantity, C-rank is a good choice. I don't even know the basic techniques yet, so I'll pick C-rank for now. I can decide on the others when I get another Unique Achievement."

"C-rank ninjutsu: Clone Technique, Water Clone."

"C-rank ninjutsu: Water Clone Technique."

"C-rank ninjutsu: Great—no, that's the Uchiha Clan's technique. Damn that Uchiha Clan. Hmm, but Obito knows it. I can just say I learned it from Obito. That should work. Then I'll take the Great Fireball Technique."

"C-rank ninjutsu: Water Wave."

Confirm the ninjutsu listed above? Once confirmed, your selection cannot be changed.
