"Hoeing the crops at high noon, mining is truly hard work~ Digging up nothing but copper, purity only five. To numb the living, to resurrect the dead, to slay dragons... running about for a lifetime~" Shimura Xian Yu rose early to begin his great mining enterprise, humming along as he dug.

A few minutes later, Shinozaki Ayumi ran down, puffed up with anger, and shouted, "Young Master! Are you not going to wash up or eat breakfast? Look at Might Duy—he started running laps around Konoha with weights on before the sun was even up!"

Shinozaki Ayumi was truly furious. While her young master had been lazy before, he had never missed a meal, and he had never skipped his daily training. But recently, he had become infuriating. It was one thing to hum those strange, nonsensical tunes, but when she dragged him to eat, he would complain about things like: "You don't understand, I've been stuck in the Pig Cave for days trying to find a white-named mob, pulling all-nighters just to level up once..."

After having his face washed and teeth brushed in a rather rough manner by Shinozaki Ayumi, Shimura Xian Yu finished his bowl of noodles, which had already swollen into a mush, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

He hadn't actually neglected his studies recently. Every night before bed, he used Palm Thunder to temper his body, and once his chakra was exhausted, he would begin extracting more, only sleeping when he was completely drained. The results were entirely comparable to a full day of Might Duy's grueling training. The pain involved was even far beyond that of Might Duy's physical conditioning...

"System, I want to open a Black Iron Treasure Chest." Shimura Xian Yu looked at the last Black Iron Treasure Chest. The previous two had yielded the Sexy Jutsu and the Thousand Years of Death... He figured opening Black Iron Treasure Chests was just for fun now; he just wanted to see what other ridiculous things the system could give him.

"Host is opening a Black Iron Treasure Chest, consuming 15 diamonds. Remaining balance: 44 diamonds."

"Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the Black Iron Treasure Chest and obtaining the Kekkei Genkai: Five Senses Control. Confetti.JPG"

Shimura Xian Yu froze. Did he hear that right? Was the system sure it wasn't messing with him?

The next moment, Shimura Xian Yu felt some strange changes within himself. Without thinking, he looked at a young girl standing at the front counter waiting for a burger.

Akagi Haruko was a genius girl from the Akagi Clan of Konoha. She and her brother, Akagi Takenori, who was three years her senior, were known as the Twin Stars of the Akagi family! After graduating from the Ninja Academy at the age of seven two years ago, she was now a nine-year-old newly promoted Chunin. Her genius was terrifying! It was even rumored that she had already surpassed her brother.

Recently, she had discovered a strange new shop. Why call it strange?

Because this shop didn't just sell communication devices called Fruit Machines; it also sold top-up cards, and one could even use the virtual coins from those top-ups to buy all sorts of food in the store.

From the rice, cola, and fried chicken sold on the first day, to the later introduction of something called a burger, they kept rolling out new food items.

As of now, this shop, named 'Xingxin Internet Cafe', not only sold the most fragrant and delicious rice in all of Konoha at market price, but it also had unique specialty food and drinks: cola, Sprite, milk tea, coffee, burgers, fries, fried chicken, and oden.

Ever since Akagi Haruko had tried the fried chicken burger with a cola once, she had become a regular. If she didn't have a meal of cola and fried chicken on any given day, she would feel uncomfortable all over.

Today, she came to Xingxin as usual and ordered a burger, a spring chicken, and a cup of cola. Since the burger and chicken were made to order, she leaned against the front counter, bored and dazed.

However, a strange thing happened! First, her vision blurred, and she found herself standing on a vast grassland. In her shock, she subconsciously tried to weave hand seals to release a ninjutsu, only to find that the chakra in her body was like a stagnant pool—she couldn't release a single technique.

Immediately after, several leaves drifted down from the sky for no reason, and one of them even scratched her finger...

Just as she was filled with terror, everything suddenly vanished.

She was still leaning against the counter, and the good-looking girl in the hood opposite her was saying softly, "Your order is ready. Thank you for your patronage, and we hope to see you again."

Akagi Haruko took the food box in a daze. Looking at a leaf that had fallen onto her hand and the tiny, fine scratch on her finger, she fled the place as if escaping.

In the corner booth of the Xingxin lobby, Shimura Xian Yu's face showed a trace of exhaustion. He withdrew his gaze, slumped into his chair, and slowly set down the pen and paper, muttering, "I hope I didn't scare that customer..."

Although the system hadn't provided any introduction, after some experimentation, Shimura Xian Yu had roughly figured out the ability based on the anime from his past life.

Because he wasn't skilled at using the power of his Kekkei Genkai for the first time, there had been a massive waste of energy. He had just used up nearly a third of his chakra.

Shimura Xian Yu discovered that using the power to manifest the unreal into reality out of thin air consumed a great deal of chakra.

No wonder in the original work, they relied on drawing boards.

He had just used three types of Kekkei Genkai illusions on that girl. They were like innate abilities; others couldn't learn them even if they wanted to.

The first type of Kekkei Genkai illusion was Terror Illusion, which could pull the opponent into an inescapable illusion through various mediums, rendering them unable to use ninjutsu. Shimura Xian Yu had just subconsciously used his mental power through his eyes to pull the girl in his field of vision into the illusion. This forced method of dragging someone into an illusion consumed a great deal of chakra and mental power. If he had used a gentler method, the consumption shouldn't have been so high.

The second type was Illusion Realization, which required the use of pen and paper to draw the target; colored drawing tools yielded better manifestation effects. It could be used for any terrifying assassination. This ability already existed between reality and illusion.

The third type was Demonic Five Senses, which could not only control the five senses of others, but if the caster willed it, any injury or even death suffered within the illusion would also manifest as injury or death in reality.

If combined with powerful mental strength, this Five Senses Control Kekkei Genkai was truly broken. It was purely a contest of mental strength and chakra.

However, it was a pity that Shimura Xian Yu's mental strength hadn't increased. Therefore, he deduced that he hadn't obtained something like Ido.

He didn't know if Ido in the original work was considered a split personality or an ability hidden within the bloodline of the Kurama Clan. Ido caused the host's mental strength to grow significantly every day. It was equivalent to cheating; you could eat, drink, and play, and your mental strength would grow naturally! Although Ido would eventually backlash against the host once it grew to a certain level, Shimura Xian Yu, who had a system treasure chest and was a soul-transmigrator himself, already possessed extremely powerful mental strength. He was clearly the least afraid of such mental backlash, but it was a pity he hadn't obtained Ido; otherwise... he might be able to challenge the heavens right now...

The only bright spot might be that while Shimura Xian Yu didn't obtain Ido, he also didn't inherit the frail body of the Kurama Clan... He possessed the Five Senses Control Kekkei Genkai entirely on its own.

"A Kekkei Genkai! I've finally obtained a Kekkei Genkai! And... this Kekkei Genkai is extremely, extremely powerful! The reason it declined in the original work was that the Kurama Clan's physical constitution was too poor; the last lone seedling of the family to awaken the Kekkei Genkai couldn't even become a ninja because their body was too weak! Otherwise, at least in terms of illusions, even the Uchiha would have to take a backseat. As long as my mental strength is strong enough, I could probably even kill Kaguya... Uh, well, that's probably still a very, very long way off."

The blood in Shimura Xian Yu's heart began to burn: "I, Shimura Xian Yu, have finally turned the tables! Rise!"
