Naruto: God-Level System

"Rest assured! Even if I were to forget myself, I would never forget you." Hyuga Shin wore a look of earnest sincerity, without the slightest hint of a joke.

"Oh? Does that mean you're admitting you have some hidden thoughts?"

"Uh~~"

"Alright, I was just teasing you earlier. But if you ever dare to forget me, I really will die right in front of you." Although Mikoto said it with a smile, Hyuga Shin could feel the resolve in her heart.

"From now on, your life will always be mine. Dying is simply impossible; we will be together forever and ever," Hyuga Shin said softly.

At the same time, Hyuga Shin touched his own eyes. In truth, granting himself and others eternal life was not impossible for him.

It would depend on the Space-Time Manipulation of the Tenseigan. He could not control time yet, but once he could, he would be able to freeze the time of others. As long as they weren't killed, they would never die.

Therefore, whether for his own sake or for the sake of his beloved, Hyuga Shin had to strive to increase his strength and strive to master the power of time as soon as possible.

Mikoto did not speak, merely looking at Hyuga Shin with a gentle gaze.

"You should have looked over the Six Powers I gave you, right? Now, let me explain the difficult points of the training to you."

"Mm!" Mikoto nodded, then listened intently to Hyuga Shin's explanation.

Chapter 42: Tsunade is looking for me?

"Hello, I am Mikoto Uchiha. Please take care of me." Mikoto looked at Kushina with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Kushina Uzumaki. Just call me Kushina." Kushina said, her expression not very pleasant.

Although Mikoto's smile was as gentle as water and made people feel very comfortable, Kushina felt extremely annoyed, and her expression suffered as a result.

She let out a cold snort toward Hyuga Shin, then grabbed her things and walked to the back to keep Tomoko Uzumaki company.

Hyuga Shin was full of question marks. He didn't think he had provoked Kushina! Could it be that in the short span of yesterday, Kushina had really developed a favorable impression of him?

"That's not impossible." Thinking of the prize he had drawn earlier that increased his attractiveness to the opposite sex, Hyuga Shin said to himself.

"The big wife and the little wife are fighting." Nawaki walked over, draped his arm around Hyuga Shin's shoulder, and said with a lewd expression.

"Thwack!"

Hyuga Shin gave Nawaki a flick to the forehead, and a large bump rose on his head, causing Nawaki to wipe away tears in pain.

"Why are you so meddlesome? You're everywhere, you guy." Hyuga Shin said unhappily.

Seeing that Nawaki still wanted to say something, Hyuga Shin raised his fist and gestured threateningly at him.

Nawaki immediately wilted, clutching his head as he returned to his seat in a depressed mood, the large bump on his head drawing laughter from others.

"My sister has something to find you about. She wants you to go to Konoha Training Ground 27 at nine o'clock tomorrow to find her," Nawaki said sullenly, still angry about the flick Hyuga Shin had given him earlier.

"Tsunade is looking for me?" Hyuga Shin was puzzled for a moment, then nodded. Tomorrow was the weekend; come to think of it, he hadn't seen Tsunade for a long time because she had been out on missions.

Kushina Uzumaki, who was slumped over her desk, also took note of this after hearing Nawaki's words.

Shortly after, several students walked in, their faces bruised and swollen. One look told you they had been beaten up, and they looked toward Kushina's direction with fear in their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Hyuga Shin smiled. He hadn't expected Kushina to actually take action.

Ueno Juri arrived soon after and asked those bruised students what happened, but they all claimed in unison that they had fallen, too embarrassed to admit they had been beaten by a girl.

Ueno Juri knew they were lying at a glance, but he didn't press the issue and began the day's lecture. Surprisingly, Hyuga Shin didn't sleep today, but listened to the lecture seriously.

Since today's topic was the setting of traps, there was no harm in learning such things; perhaps one day he would find a use for them.

This surprised Ueno Juri greatly. Hyuga Shin, who had always been slumped over his desk, was actually listening to the lecture today, making him wonder if the sun had risen from the west.

The morning classes ended quickly. After the lunch break, the afternoon classes followed. Hyuga Shin spent the time as he always did—training alone and then resting—and the day passed just like that.

The next day was the weekend. Hyuga Shin got up early, stretched his body, and began to eat the breakfast Mikoto had prepared.

"Let's go, Mikoto! Let's go see what that big-breasted woman Tsunade wants with me."

"If Sister Tsunade knew you called her that, she would definitely get angry, maybe even beat you up. I really want to see that scene," Mikoto said with a mischievous smile.

"Mikoto! Do you like seeing me have bad luck that much?" Hyuga Shin looked at Mikoto with a resentful gaze, feeling that she was becoming more and more dark-hearted.

"Sister Tsunade said she wanted you to go. Is it okay if I come along?"

"It's fine! Let's go!" Hyuga Shin didn't wait for Mikoto to say anything else, taking her hand and heading out.

Stopping and starting along the way, it was already eight-thirty when they arrived at Training Ground 27. Hyuga Shin observed the area and found that Tsunade had not yet arrived.

Not seeing Tsunade, Hyuga Shin saw someone else instead. He picked up a small stone and threw it toward a tree in the distance.

"Ah~~"

Kushina, who was hiding in the tree, was startled and let out a cry. Her hands and feet slipped, and she accidentally fell.

One had to know that the trees in the ninja world were very tall, generally over ten meters, and the one Kushina had chosen was even taller—nearly twenty meters high.

Falling from such a height, even if she didn't die, she would be crippled. Kushina couldn't help but close her eyes in despair.

"No way! She actually fell." Hyuga Shin was stunned for a moment, then used the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit to transform into a golden flash, catching the falling Kushina.

Kushina, who had her eyes closed, felt no pain even after a long while. Instead, she felt a warm aura surrounding her.

Kushina's eyelids fluttered, and she opened her eyes. Looking at Hyuga Shin right in front of her, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and slowly began to stream down.

"Hey, hey! Please don't cry. I was just playing a joke on you; I didn't think you would actually fall. I'm sorry! I apologize to you, please don't cry."

Seeing Kushina in tears gave Hyuga Shin a headache; in his past life, he had been a lone wolf with no experience, and he simply didn't know how to comfort a girl.

He landed on the ground while holding Kushina, but as she continued to weep silently, Hyuga Shin felt his head spinning, leaving him with no choice but to stand there foolishly while holding her.

Mikoto hurried over and asked Hyuga Shin, "Is everything alright?"

"It's fine! But she's crying," Hyuga Shin said awkwardly. This was all his fault; if he hadn't been so restless and insisted on throwing a rock to scare Kushina, none of this would have happened.

Mikoto shot Hyuga Shin a reproachful look before turning to comfort Kushina.

Upon seeing Mikoto, Kushina stopped her tears, as she did not want to show her weak side in front of a "love rival."

After a long while, Tsunade finally arrived, her presence breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"What is going on here?" Tsunade pointed at Kushina, who was still being held by Hyuga Shin, her eyes red and puffy like a rabbit's.

Hyuga Shin offered an awkward smile.

"Kushina, tell me, did Hyuga Shin bully you? Just say the word and I'll settle the score with him." Tsunade glared fiercely at Hyuga Shin.
