"Fujima-kun? Waaah...!"
"I thought you didn't want me anymore, waaah...!"
Most people in the clan were betrothed, leaving no room for personal preference. If she were truly cast aside by Senju Fujima, she would never be able to hold her head high in the Uchiha Clan again.
Hearing Senju Fujima's sudden change of heart, she clung tightly to him, sobbing in heartbreak.
"Silly girl, I was just joking!"
"Mwah...!"
Seeing Shizuka Uchiha in such distress, Senju Fujima reached out to wipe the tears from her face, then leaned down and kissed her lips directly.
"Huh?"
"Fujima-kun is... kissing me? Me?"
"Oh, how embarrassing, what do I do, I...!"
"This feeling, it's so strange...!"
Kissed by Senju Fujima, Shizuka Uchiha forgot everything that had just happened, casting it all to the back of her mind.
She stood frozen, eyes wide, staring blankly at the Senju Fujima before her. She didn't know what to do for a moment, but she found the sensation quite marvelous and offered no resistance.
"Ding! Host detected exploiting a bug. System experiencing temporary instability. Instability being repaired...!"
"Ding! System repair successful. Due to the host violating system option settings, the Shikotsumyaku within the host's body is now being reclaimed. Defaulting to the host's choice of kissing Shizuka Uchiha. Charm -1."
Just as Senju Fujima was kissing Shizuka Uchiha, he thought he had killed two birds with one stone, but instead, he triggered a system bug that was immediately rectified.
Not only was the Shikotsumyaku he had just acquired reclaimed, but his Charm was also reduced by one. This turn of events was a massive loss.
"Pfft...!"
"System, you are ruthless...!"
As Senju Fujima kissed Shizuka Uchiha's cherry lips, he heard the system's voice in his mind and froze, nearly coughing up a mouthful of blood and dropping dead on the spot.
"Damn it, the Shikotsumyaku in my body has been extracted."
In an instant, Senju Fujima felt a change within him. His Shikotsumyaku had truly been stripped away by the system, and the information in his mind had vanished inexplicably. Resentment toward the system surged, and he roared internally.
One had to admit, this system was truly vicious! Even this counted as exploiting a bug.
"Ding! Host's malice detected. God Selection System activated."
[Option 1: Kill Shizuka Uchiha, release Kurama, join forces to fight Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, and successfully defect from Konoha. Reward upon completion: Six Paths Mode.]
[Option 2: Sever your own limbs. You may not repair them for one hour, after which you may use the Power of Immortality to restore them. Reward upon completion: Shisui Uchiha's ultimate ocular technique—Enhanced Kotoamatsukami (known as the strongest genjutsu eye, capable of altering anyone's will, including Black Zetsu. Cooldown: ten years).]
[Option 3: Seal your libido. No sexual activity for fifteen years. The seal will be lifted when the host reaches twenty-five. Reward upon completion: Kaguya Otsutsuki is unsealed (and becomes your wife, never to betray you).]
[Special Note: The host must make a selection within the day, or all three penalties will be applied: Shizuka Uchiha will die, your limbs will be severed, and your libido will be gone for fifteen years.]
The system instantly sensed Senju Fujima's malice and fed back three even more malicious options, which appeared directly before his eyes.
"Are you kidding me?"
"System, are you really trying to kill me?"
"You want me to kill my wife? And then fight Madara Uchiha and my old man one-on-one?"
"How badly do you want me to get beaten up?"
"And you're dangling these rewards to make me submit?"
"Six Paths Mode, what a scam!"
"The other two are even worse. Forcing me to hack off my own limbs—even with the Enhanced Kotoamatsukami as a reward, you want me to die of pain?"
"And the last one, as much as I'd love to have Kaguya Otsutsuki as a wife, is it really necessary to cut off my manhood?"
"System, you're too cruel. Who created you?"
"Why are you trying to harm me like this? Who did I offend?"
"Pfft...!"
Looking at the three options, Senju Fujima realized none of them were good; each was more torturous than the last.
Yet, the benefits were increasingly tempting: a wife like Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Six Paths Mode, and the Enhanced Kotoamatsukami—these were three invincible rewards.
However, the heaven-defying rewards came with immense pain. This was simply not something a human could endure.
"I definitely can't kill my wife."
"And I have to keep my manhood!"
"So what now? Sever my limbs?"
"This is so damn dirty!"
"And it's a forced choice, or else I get all three penalties at once. You evil system...!"
Senju Fujima pondered internally, struggling to decide. After all, each of these three options was incredibly difficult.
If he had to choose the fifteen-year seal, it might be barely acceptable, as he would only be twenty-five by then, and he would gain Kaguya as a wife afterward—that would be a massive profit.
But fifteen years is a long time, not ten... fifteen years later and I'll be twenty-five. That's too old; by then, people might think there's something wrong with me when I finally get married.
"Shizuka, it's about time, let's head back to class!"
With no other choice, Senju Fujima could only bring Shizuka Uchiha back to the school. He pulled his lips away and looked at her as he spoke.
"Mm, mm...!"
Shizuka Uchiha was incredibly shy right now, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. Her first kiss had just vanished like that; it was simply too embarrassing. She lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes, and muttered bashfully.
"Let's go!"
(The text here is a website navigation/ad prompt, skipping as per instructions.)
Afterward, Senju Fujima pulled Shizuka Uchiha by the hand and vanished from the spot in an instant.
Soon, the two arrived at the school gate and walked straight inside.
"Shizuka, you head to class first! I'm going to the restroom."
Once inside the school, Senju Fujima pretended he needed to use the restroom and walked away.
"Wood Clone."
Inside the restroom, Senju Fujima immediately created a Wood Clone to take his place in class, then vanished from the restroom and appeared directly within Konoha Forest.
Damn system, don't let me catch you, or I'll definitely give you a good beating. Hmph.
Arriving in the forest, Senju Fujima thought viciously, his anger flaring up at the thought of the options the system had given him.
"Wood Clone."
Following that, Senju Fujima created another Wood Clone. As for what it was for, we don't know, and we dare not say.
"Wife Kaguya, wait for me...!"
In the end, what would Senju Fujima choose? Thinking of the appearance of Kaguya Otsutsuki, anyone would be enamored, and he was naturally no exception.
"Clack, clack, clack, clack...!"
"Ah...!"
"Snap...!"
In an instant, it seemed something had fallen to the ground, making a sound.
"Again."
Senju Fujima looked at the clone before him and said quickly.
The Wood Clone of Senju Fujima appeared with a wooden blade in its hand and promptly hacked off one of his own arms.
"Crack...!"
"Ah...!"
"Eh? It doesn't hurt?"
"Crack...!"
"Still doesn't hurt? No sensation? So the system was just trying to scare me?"
Soon, all four of Senju Fujima's limbs had been hacked off by his own Wood Clone, blood flowing freely, covering the ground.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo...!"
"Collect the blood; can't let it go to waste."
Senju Fujima's Wood Clone instantly gathered the blood from the ground and quickly stanched his bleeding.
"Hiss...!"
"I thought it would be painful, but it doesn't hurt. Still, this is definitely not something a human should be doing."
"Who would have thought the system would lie? Even though I have an Immortal Body and can regrow them or reattach my limbs..."
"The system won't allow it, damn it!"
"It nearly scared me to death."
"I really brought this suffering upon myself."
"One day I will have my revenge. You just wait for me."
Poor Senju Fujima lay quietly on the ground. The bleeding had stopped, but he had to maintain this state for a full hour. Although it didn't hurt, the time passed agonizingly slowly.
This period was a form of temporal torture, truly inhuman torment. It was just like the system to come up with a method like this.
Fortunately, Senju Fujima now possessed an Immortal Body; he couldn't die, only be sealed, and his pain threshold was much lower than others.
Soon, the hour passed. Senju Fujima had been counting the time in his heart, and it had finally arrived.
"Ding! Detected that the host has successfully made a choice. Congratulations to the host for passing the trial and completing the mission. Reward obtained: Shisui Uchiha's ultimate ocular technique--Enhanced Kotoamatsukami (Known as the strongest genjutsu eye, capable of altering anyone's will, including Black Zetsu. Cooldown: ten years.)"
"Boom...!"
In an instant, Senju Fujima felt a powerful, dark, and evil energy surge into his mind. The method for using Kotoamatsukami suddenly appeared, and as the strongest enhanced illusion eye, it was directly reflected into his left eye, causing it to instantly evolve into an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
At this moment, Senju Fujima possessed one Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and one Mangekyo Sharingan, granting him the power of three great ocular techniques.
"Cough, cough, cough... I suppose this is a blessing in disguise!"
So it was a test all along. That gave me quite a scare.
Could it be that it wanted to see if I would kill Shizuka for the sake of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Six Paths Mode?
Still, the fact that I awakened one Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan ahead of schedule and even obtained an illusion technique like Kotoamatsukami makes it all worthwhile.
The moment Senju Fujima heard the system prompt, he instantly reattached his limbs, which quickly healed and stitched themselves back together, leaving him completely unscathed.
"Poof...!"
As soon as Senju Fujima recovered, he dispelled the Wood Clone standing before him.
"Phew, that hour felt incredibly long—it felt like an entire century had passed."
"At least the results were good. I'll worry about Kaguya later!"
"Sooner or later, I will set her free, and when that time comes, heh heh heh!"
Everyone has fantasized about obtaining Kaguya Otsutsuki, without exception, and Senju Fujima is certainly no different.
"My stamina is too depleted; I should go catch a fish to eat."
With the option completed and nothing else to do, Senju Fujima felt a pang of hunger and began walking toward the river in the forest.
