The Absolutely Improper System

Itachi was equally skeptical of Uchiha Chen's plan, though while Itachi had his own ideas, he trusted his close friend, Uchiha Shisui, even more.

Because of this, Uchiha Chen's plan was ultimately accepted by Itachi.

"Ding. System notification: Time-limited mission initiated.

Mission duration: thirty days. Learn at least one B-rank ninjutsu (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, or Lightning) within thirty days. Additional rewards for every extra B-rank ninjutsu learned.

Mission failure penalty: Forcefully kiss Uchiha Shisui!"

(Shisui: Thanks a lot, did I ever provoke you?)

System, are you doing this on purpose? Never mind the difficulty of this time-limited mission, what the hell is this penalty?

Has your inner fujoshi awakened or something?

First it was Orochimaru, now it's Shisui. What exactly are you trying to do?

"Try slandering me one more time. Do you believe I'll give you three days to learn an S-rank ninjutsu, with a failure penalty of forcefully kissing the feet of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire?"

"I..."

The words Uchiha Chen had prepared were choked right back down his throat.

It had to be said, this system really had Uchiha Chen under its thumb. This was far from the first time he had wanted to kill it.

However, there was simply no opportunity to do so.

Deeply depressed, Uchiha Chen stopped speaking. This mission was neither particularly difficult nor particularly simple.

While B-rank ninjutsu were quite hard to master, Uchiha Chen believed one month was sufficient time.

The only problem was, where was he supposed to get a ninjutsu from?

It was already the third day since Uchiha Chen received the mission. He had originally intended to find Itachi or Uchiha Shisui.

As it turned out, both of them were away from Konoha on missions.

"Fugaku is really something. His own son just lost his teammate and his jonin instructor, yet he still sends him out on missions. Are you even his real father?"

Uchiha Chen grumbled helplessly. Shouldn't this be the time to let Itachi stay home and recover?

With neither Itachi nor Uchiha Shisui around, Uchiha Chen had no idea where to acquire a ninjutsu. Walking down the street, he found a random spot to sit and opened his system panel.

Host: Uchiha Chen
Age: 4 (18)
Abilities:
Ninjutsu: Three Body Technique LV1, Great Fireball Technique LV3, Flame Bullet LV2, Phoenix Sage Fire Technique LV1, Dragon Flame Technique LV1, Fire Style Mastery LV1
Taijutsu: Basic Taijutsu LV1
Genjutsu: XXXXX
Items: Asauchi

Looking at the ninjutsu he currently possessed, while they were all Fire Style, they were already quite impressive.

Should I learn the Rasengan too? That thing has high growth potential.

Uchiha Chen pondered to himself, and just then, a small figure approached.

Since he was inside Konoha, Uchiha Chen hadn't been particularly vigilant, so he only noticed the person when they were right in front of him.

"Chen-kun, thank you."

"Oh, Hinata. It was nothing; we're all from the same village, so helping out is only right."

"It wasn't just that. If you hadn't spoken to me about my situation, Chen-kun, I might have remained timid forever."

Hinata's personality had indeed begun to change gradually. While it wasn't an overnight transformation, it was at least a good start.

"That was your own effort; I didn't really do much. Are you out playing today?"

Uchiha Chen knew that children from major clans, especially the eldest daughter of a clan head like Hinata, rarely had much time to themselves, even at a young age.

"Yes. I've made great progress with the Gentle Fist recently, so Father gave me some time off."

Hinata had actually had plenty of free time before, but that was partly because she was young, and more so because the state she displayed had disappointed Hyuga Hiashi.

Hyuga Hiashi had originally held high hopes for Hinata, but her personality was too timid; the birth of Hanabi was even somewhat related to this.

However, after the recent events, Hinata began to show obvious changes. She was no longer so timid, and coupled with her innate talent, Hyuga Hiashi was very gratified. This was what had actually led to Hinata losing so much of her playtime.

Even so, compared to the look of disappointment in her father's eyes before, Hinata clearly preferred things the way they were now.

"Congratulations."

"I owe it all to you."

"It's nothing."

Watching Hinata blush as she poked her little fingers together in front of her chest, Uchiha Chen couldn't help but feel a bit confused.

He opened the system panel to the affection tab, only to see that Hinata's affection for him had already reached eighty.

Although this favorability did not equate to romantic love, Uchiha Izumi's favorability toward Chen was over eighty, but that was merely the affection of an older sister toward a neighbor's younger brother, or even her own brother.

However, Hinata's current demeanor forced Chen to think in a certain direction.

"Hey, why is the person who called me filthy now starting to make moves on girls himself?

First Shion, now Hinata.

As expected, you are a filthy person."

The system's voice rang out at the perfect moment, leaving Chen speechless.

"Chen-kun, are you waiting for someone here?"

Seeing that Chen didn't say much, Hinata continued to speak. Compared to the timid little girl from before, Hinata had truly changed a great deal.

Actually, when one thinks about it, it makes sense; the personality Hinata had in the original story wasn't forged in a day or two, and Chen's appearance could be said to have corrected the course of events just as they were beginning to develop.

Therefore, Hinata was able to change very quickly.

"That's not it, I was just spacing out here.

I want to learn some powerful ninjutsu, but I have no way to do so.

Even though I am of the Uchiha Clan, the ninjutsu I can access is very limited."

Chen didn't hide anything; after all, he had indeed been pondering this matter.

"Um, um, if you don't mind, the Hyuga House also has a collection of ninjutsu, but I need to explain the situation to my father. Wait for me."

Saying this, without waiting for Chen to respond, Hinata ran directly toward the Hyuga Clan's compound.

"Is this really Hinata?

I feel like she won't turn into the little Hinata-chan from my memories."

"As expected, you are a pervert. You are clearly an adult, yet you call Hinata 'little Hinata-chan.' Isn't that disgusting?"

"Hey system, I am currently just a four-year-old child who happens to have a few extra memories.

Also, I just used a nickname, whereas you are the one giving out those messy rewards and messy punishments.

Comparing the two of us, you are the real pervert, aren't you?"

Chen was truly helpless; everything always turned strange when it reached the system.

He had only used a nickname, and he had only thought it in his heart—did that really make him a pervert?

"You dare to slander this system?

Believe it or not..."

At this point, the system suddenly let out a series of lecherous laughs.

"Hey, what are you planning to do?"

Such a lecherous laugh made Chen's spine tingle.

"Nothing, I'm just planning to grant your wish and issue a mission for you to push Hinata down.

How about it? Be grateful to me, hurry up and submit to me, hahaha..."
