Bedding Gift Pack

One second Chen was still waving his hand, but the next, he vanished right in front of Orochimaru.

"How is this possible!

Flying Thunder God?

Danzo, you bastard!"

Orochimaru roared. Being played for a fool by the same person twice in a row filled him with immense rage.

Orochimaru had already been puzzled as to why the Cursed Seal had been ineffective, and seeing Chen use the Flying Thunder God now, he arrived at his own conclusion.

In Orochimaru's eyes, Chen had to be one of Danzo's men.

After all, the Flying Thunder God was not something just anyone could get their hands on, and Danzo clearly had access to it.

Coupled with the fact that Danzo had also once sought to obtain the Cursed Seal, these two points linked together, and poor Danzo was once again made the scapegoat.

Using the Flying Thunder God, Chen appeared directly beside Yuki Haku.

The sudden appearance gave Yuki Haku a start, but upon seeing it was Chen, the tension in his heart dissipated.

"Hold on tight, don't fall."

As he spoke, Chen scooped Yuki Haku up and used Flash Step to move forward rapidly.

Although he had shaken off Orochimaru using the Flying Thunder God, Chen had no desire to run into him again, so it was best to put as much distance between them as possible.

Relying on Flash Step and the Flying Thunder God, Chen successfully departed the Land of Water.

Yuki Haku's identity was clearly not suited for Konoha, so Chen sent him to the Land of Demons to be placed under Shion's care.

"Who is she?"

Seeing Yuki Haku following behind Chen, Shion looked displeased, the air seemingly thick with a sour scent.

"This is Haku, Yuki Haku, whom I brought from the Land of Water.

He has a certain understanding of Ice Release, so I am leaving him in your charge from now on.

Haku, this is Shion; from now on, follow her arrangements."

Chen saw why Shion was acting this way, so he explained the situation directly, and Yuki Haku hurriedly spoke up to say he would follow her instructions.

Seeing this, Shion first ordered someone to settle Yuki Haku in, then turned to look at Chen with a scrutinizing gaze.

"What is really going on with him? Weren't you supposed to be returning to Konoha this time?"

"Not exactly. This trip to the Land of Water was indeed for Haku's sake. After all, he is a member of the Yuki Clan and has more experience with Ice Release.

While I can grant people the power of a Kekkei Genkai, I have no way to guide their training.

Unless I'm mistaken, he is the last of the Yuki Clan, so I had no choice but to bring him back.

Haku's parents are both dead; in fact, he killed his own father, so please help him as much as you can."

Chen explained what he knew about Yuki Haku, and Shion, who had been somewhat dissatisfied, was no longer sullen, feeling deep sympathy instead.

Shion had also lost both her parents, so she understood Yuki Haku all the more, especially since he had even killed his own father.

"I suppose you have a reason this time. How long can you stay?"

Shion hoped Chen could stay, but she understood that he had his own affairs to attend to.

"I have to leave immediately. I've been away from Konoha for too long; if I don't go back now, I fear there will be trouble.

I will try to stay longer next time I have the chance."

"Fine, I'll let you off this time."

Chen turned and left. Farewells were somewhat awkward for him, so he avoided them whenever possible.

"I think that although Shion was jealous, she doesn't seem to mind Haku becoming your woman. Do you want me to post a mission for you?"

"No need."

Chen was speechless. He and Yuki Haku had only just met, so why did everyone assume they would end up together?

In Chen's view, Yuki Haku's feelings for him were nothing more than a strange form of gratitude.

"Don't be shy. If I post the mission, won't you have an excuse?"

"Not interested.

System, stop messing around with things like this.

I have no interest in Haku.

By the way, wasn't Haku a man in the original story? Why did he turn into a woman?"

Chen was actually quite curious, which was why he had asked about his gender while they were returning.

To the point that Yuki Haku had thought he had some unsavory habits.

"Didn't I tell you?

Your appearance has caused subtle changes to the entire world.

It's not just Haku; even Kimimaro has been affected."

"Kimimaro? What do you mean?"

Chen was somewhat puzzled. From start to finish, aside from glancing at Kimimaro, he hadn't even spoken a word. How could he have influenced Kimimaro?

"Originally, Kimimaro held an extremely fanatical worship for Orochimaru, but because you escaped from Orochimaru's hands, that worship has changed. Not only that, don't you think Orochimaru obtained the Cursed Seal earlier than expected?"

"This..."

Hearing the system's words, Chen was stunned. The Cursed Seal was essentially natural chakra, and Orochimaru's Cursed Seal was developed using Jugo's bodily fluids. Yet, Jugo and Kimimaro shared a unique bond, and while Kimimaro had only just begun following Orochimaru, Orochimaru's Cursed Seal seemed to have already been completed. Thinking about it, something was indeed off.

"Do you understand now? Although most things haven't changed, many events have shifted because of your appearance. Some are directly influenced by you, such as the situation with Shisui, while others are passively affected, like the Cursed Seal."

"I didn't expect it to be like this. It seems I can't fully rely on what I know from the past anymore."

"That is only natural. The only thing you can rely on is this system."

"..."

Hearing the system's words, Chen was speechless. He really wanted to say that the most unreliable thing of all was her. However, considering the potential retaliation, Chen ultimately kept his mouth shut. After all, when one is under the eaves, one must bow their head.

With the help of the system's power, Chen returned to his home in Konoha quite smoothly. After dispelling his Shadow Clone, Chen's expression became quite colorful. During the time Chen was away, the Shadow Clone had upheld Chen's "gifted education" by actively training Sasuke, to the point where Sasuke now trembled at the mere mention of Chen's name. Although he didn't know if Sasuke's strength had improved, he figured that in the future, Sasuke wouldn't constantly think he was ready to challenge him at the drop of a hat.

Besides that, Shisui had looked for Chen once, but upon realizing it was only a Shadow Clone, he hadn't said anything further. Additionally, something that worried Chen slightly was that despite the Shadow Clone tormenting Sasuke so severely, Uchiha Itachi had never appeared. Logically, that brother-obsessed man should have shown up immediately upon learning of the situation.

"Ding, system notification: Find Uchiha Itachi. If the mission fails within three days, the penalty is a set of bedding gift packages."

Hearing this penalty, Chen couldn't help but think the worst. After all, the system's incredibly lewd laughter echoed in his mind.

"System, can you stop laughing? I think your laughter alone could instantly kill Uchiha Madara, and I mean a one-hit kill."

"I'll do as I please. If you have the ability, go ahead and destroy your ears. But even if you did, it would be useless; I live in your mental world. Unless you blow your own brains out, you'll still hear it. Hahaha..."
