Mission Rewards

Having made up his mind, Yang Xing pressed the claim button; it was his only way forward.

"Let me see what rewards I've got."

Claim successful: Evolution Fruit x2, Unique Random Aura x2, and the unique achievement "Defeater of the Legendary Fourth Hokage" obtained!

"This sounds incredibly overpowered. I never expected a five-star rating to double the rewards."

Looking at the descriptions, Yang Xing understood clearly that if not for the five-star rating, he might have only received one fruit, the auras wouldn't have been of the unique tier, and he certainly wouldn't have received two of them.

One had to realize that the fruit alone held immense value.

Evolution Fruit: Can be consumed directly to improve one's physique; can also be used to upgrade auras or other abilities above the unique achievement level. (Note: Humans will experience strong side effects; only one Evolution Fruit can be consumed per year.)

Looking at the small, delicate fruit, Yang Xing felt a surge of excitement. Although he could only consume one per year, he had at least found a way to evolve his physical constitution, which was truly excellent.

Deciding not to consume it just yet, Yang Xing chose to look at the other two rewards first.

He had thought the Evolution Fruit was good enough, but he hadn't expected the auras to make his heart race even faster.

God's Plunder (Unique Aura): Obtain the opponent's aura attributes upon killing them. Auras cannot be duplicated or stacked.

Undying Body (Unique Aura): Immune to one fatal blow. Afterwards, enter a 10-second weakened state where movement is impossible. Once per day.

Auras are divided into Common, Unique, and Rare. Unlike achievements, even a Common aura provides high attribute bonuses, various ability enhancements, and unexpected functions.

As for what those functions might be, Yang Xing couldn't know yet; he only understood that everyone in this world had aura bonuses, and the system provided one example.

Hokage (Unique Aura Title): +500% Ninjutsu Power, +200% Durability, +100% Chakra.

Five times the ninjutsu power—the temptation of this single line was enough. Seeing this description, Yang Xing almost wanted to go and take down the Hokage to plunder the title, though, of course, that was just a thought.

After scanning the auras, Yang Xing finally turned his attention back to the Evolution Fruit; improving his physical constitution was a must.

Looking at the fruit, which was no larger than his palm, he popped it directly into his mouth.

Biting into it, there was a fruity fragrance. What kind of taste was this? Banana? No, apple? That wasn't it either, but it was quite delicious regardless.

"Why am I so sleepy? So sleepy... and I haven't even looked at that achievement yet. Forget it, I'll deal with it tomorrow." As the fruit pulp settled in his stomach, drowsiness washed over Yang Xing. Perhaps that was one of its effects. As the sleepiness deepened, an exhausted Yang Xing could only pull up his blanket and let himself drift off to sleep.

Early morning, the sunlight was blinding.

Upon waking, Yang Xing discovered that his abilities had changed.

Clearly, his Chakra ability had risen to the mid-low tier.

Everything else had reached the low-high tier.

According to the system's classification standards, an average Chunin should be at the mid-average level or above, while a Jonin would be at the high-low level or above.

In this world, the highest level currently known was the highest-tier physique, though there were certainly other levels above that, which were simply not within the scope of the current system's introduction.

"In that case, a guy like Madara must have a physical level approaching the highest tier," Yang Xing muttered to himself while sitting cross-legged and checking his stats.

In truth, Yang Xing didn't pay too much attention to physical stats; external factors often caused significant gaps, and a difference of one or two minor levels didn't necessarily equate to a huge difference in combat strength.

Unless, of course, one was below the Jonin level.

A low-level physique could be fatal. Take Chakra, for instance—it determined how many ninjutsu one could cast in succession, making it a crucial factor.

So, reaching a level approaching a Chunin still left Yang Xing feeling quite excited.

"I suppose for Chakra, the original protagonist, Uzumaki Naruto, considering his Uzumaki Clan heritage, must be at least at the highest tier," Yang Xing curled his lip. He didn't care much; physical stats only determined the execution and power of ninjutsu.

To truly hit the mark every time, it still depended on the person.

Setting those thoughts aside, Yang Xing began to examine the achievement he hadn't looked at yesterday.

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

He hadn't expected this to grant him additional ninjutsu.

According to the instructions, he could randomly select one A-rank, two B-rank, or four C-rank ninjutsu. It would ignore his own elemental affinities, allowing him to master the technique directly while also enhancing its power.

A very powerful unique achievement.

"An A-rank ninjutsu... and I can even learn Kekkei Genkai. Should I just pick the Sharingan?" Yang Xing found the Single Tomoe Sharingan Kekkei Genkai. He was about to click confirm, but after a moment of thought, he held back: "No, no. I'm not from the Uchiha Clan. If I learn it now, I can't use it often. If I get caught, it'll be a pain to explain. This thing is strong but impractical. Better to choose something else."

Yang Xing knew very well that if he were caught with the Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan would definitely come to kill him.

The Uchiha Clan hadn't been wiped out yet, and their influence in Konoha was still profound.

"A single A-rank ninjutsu doesn't mean much to someone like me who lacks sufficient Chakra, so I should consider B or C-rank." Yang Xing hesitated between the B-rank and C-rank categories. His eyes darted around, and finally, he took a deep breath to steady his mood and muttered to himself: "In terms of quantity, C-rank is good. I don't even know any basic ninjutsu right now, so I'll start with C-rank. I'll decide on others when I get another unique achievement later."

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

"C-rank ninjutsu: Water Replacement Technique."

"C-rank ninjutsu: Great... no, that's still the Uchiha Clan. Damn the Uchiha Clan. Hmm, but Obito knows it. If I say I learned it from Obito, it should be fine. Then, Great Fireball Technique."

"C-rank ninjutsu: Water Wave."

Confirm the above ninjutsu? Changes cannot be made after confirmation.
