Naruto: The Twin Kamui's First Draw

Being friends is fine, but don't get any wild ideas; he doesn't have a stomach condition, after all.

Su Bai thought to himself as he arrived at the counter that purchased Magic Beast carcasses.

"Su Bai? You're here to sell rabbits again?" the young service clerk asked in surprise. It was clear that Su Bai had left a deep impression on her over the past few days.

In truth, one couldn't blame her. Anyone who spent three days straight receiving a Genin who looked like a student selling Magic Beast carcasses would be deeply impressed.

What set Su Bai apart from other Ninja was precisely this: he came alone, he came every day, and every time, it was a Long-Eared Rabbit...

The clerk even suspected he might have a vendetta against Long-Eared Rabbits.

"That's right, but I have a special Magic Beast today," Su Bai said with a toothy grin. "Call City Lord Wen's manager, Wei Cai, over. This is a big deal!"

"Oh, oh, wait a moment." The clerk picked up the phone, and before long, Wei Cai hurried over.

After a few pleasantries, Su Bai handed him the Storage Scroll containing the Iron-Horned Sheep carcass. Once Wei Cai realized what was inside, he was instantly shocked!

"My heavens, brother, aren't you a bit too ruthless? You're already hunting Iron-Horned Sheep after only a few days?" Wei Cai swallowed hard, his face full of disbelief!

He had watched Su Bai join the guild. Not only had the boy hunted quite a few Long-Eared Rabbits in these short few days, but today he had even managed to bag an Iron-Horned Sheep?

Are you kidding me?

Su Bai immediately waved his hand. "Don't say that, Brother Wei. With my meager skills, I wouldn't even be enough to garnish a dish for an Iron-Horned Sheep. I hunted this with a few friends; they just didn't come along."

"No wonder. You nearly scared me to death." Wei Cai adjusted his glasses and pondered for a moment. "This Iron-Horned Sheep of yours is a size smaller than the one Li Lei brought in last time, but since we're acquaintances, I'll give you five hundred million. This is the limit of my authority, Brother Wei; if I give you any more, the guild will come looking for trouble."

"Haha, then I thank you, Brother Wei." Su Bai immediately responded politely. After a few more pleasantries with Wei Cai, he took his leave.

After Su Bai left, Wei Cai stared at his retreating figure for a while before saying to the clerk, "Remember, from now on, whenever Su Bai comes to sell things, calculate them at the highest price."

"Oh, understood."

"But Manager Wei, won't your commission be lower this way?" the clerk asked, surprised by his decision.

She had worked here for several years, and every time Wei Cai had said those words, it was for a long-established Chunin or Jonin. This was the first time she had seen a Genin receive such treatment.

"Commission? Heh." Wei Cai gave the clerk a meaningful smile.

"You have to look at the long term. Just watch; I have a premonition that this kid will be an extraordinary figure in the future."

A Genin coming in covered in wounds every day to sell Magic Beasts... Wei Cai didn't believe for a second that Su Bai was just lucky enough to scavenge these carcasses.

Yang City.

In a luxurious villa, an assistant was respectfully reporting work to Qu Yan.

"President, while you were away, the Yang City officials came looking for you regarding the development of new chakra-conductive equipment."

"Did you not tell them my terms? They must cover seventy percent of the R&D funding, or there's no point in talking." Qu Yan said as she took off her blood-stained coat.

"I did, but City Lord Wen said that Yang City is currently short on funds, so he wanted to ask if you could make a concession," the assistant said.

Qu Yan set down her coat, revealing her graceful figure, and pondered. "Sixty percent. That is my bottom line; otherwise, I will develop it myself."

"Also, where is my older brother? I have something to discuss with him."

"He is at the training grounds, President," the assistant replied respectfully.

Qu Yan nodded, her pretty face covered in frost.

That despicable Qian Hang dared to use her as bait; she had to kill him!

Walking through the hall, Qu Yan arrived at the training grounds in the villa's backyard, where she saw a man with a bare torso and explosive muscles practicing taijutsu.

The man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a square face, short hair, and an astonishing aura. It seemed he wasn't far from becoming a Jonin!

When he saw Qu Yan approaching, his face softened with doting affection.

"Little sister, you finally decided to come back from the Wasteland Zone?"

"Mm." Qu Yan kept a cold face, sat on a nearby lounge chair, and said nothing.

Qu Mo scratched his head, unsure why his sister, the iron-willed businesswoman, was acting this way.

However, he didn't dare ask. Qu Yan was too dominant at home; she controlled most of the Qu family's business, and her presence was so imposing that even he, a powerhouse nearing Jonin level, found it hard to handle.

Genius? Never.

Whenever the upper crust of Yang City mentioned the Qu family, the first thing that came to mind wasn't their astonishing wealth or influence, but the Qu family's twin stars.

Qu Mo, a Ninja genius, was not even twenty-seven yet but was already on the verge of promoting to Jonin. He was famous in the Yang City Ninja circles, and everyone who knew him admired him.

Qu Yan, twenty-five, had average talent as a Ninja and was only a Genin.

But her astonishing business acumen had created significant results for the Qu family, and the family's massive influence in Yang City over the years could not be separated from her efforts.

She was the designated successor of the Qu family, and even Qu Mo admired his younger sister immensely, following her every word.

"Sister, what is wrong?" Qu Mo touched his head and sat down beside the sulking Qu Yan.

Qu Yan remained silent for a moment. As she thought about what Qian Hang had done to her, her exquisite body trembled slightly, and she spoke with hatred!

"Brother, I almost died!"

"What!" Qu Mo was startled, his entire body radiating a terrifying murderous aura as he asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"It was Qian Hang. That bastard actually used me as bait to trade for his own escape!" The charming face of Qu Yan, usually so alluring when she was with Su Bai, was now filled with hatred as she recounted the situation to her older brother, word for word.

Qu Mo's tiger-like eyes were naturally imposing even without anger. After hearing his sister's tearful complaint, a terrifying aura surged from his body, and he gritted his teeth, "I understand. I will make that guy wish he were dead!"

After saying this, he asked with some curiosity, "But little sister, how did you escape the pursuit of the Iron-Horned Sheep?"

Qu Yan's expression softened upon hearing this, and a bright, charming smile appeared on her face as if she had recalled something.

"It was Su Bai. He saved me."

"Brother, you don't know, he is so interesting."

At the mere mention of Su Bai, Qu Yan seemed to become energized, smiling as she listed a heap of his virtues to Qu Mo, leaving him momentarily bewildered.

Was this really his sister, who was usually so arrogant and looked down on all men?

What kind of sacred being was this Su Bai? How could he make his little sister praise him so much?

Listening to his sister, Qu Mo felt Su Bai sounded quite ordinary.

No strength, no background, and not exceptionally handsome—how could he occupy such a place in his sister's mind?

Oh, the Sharingan was somewhat special, but it was just that—special—and it wouldn't last long.

Qu Mo couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

He didn't know how desperate Qu Yan had been at the time... two of her four teammates were dead, and the remaining one had used her as bait to escape alone. Su Bai's sudden appearance was nothing short of a god descending for Qu Yan, leaving a deep impression on her heart.

However, although Qu Mo couldn't understand it, that didn't stop him from remembering Su Bai's kindness.

He only had this one sister; if Su Bai saved Qu Yan, he saved him, Qu Mo. And Qu Mo was not the type to leave a debt of gratitude unpaid!

"Su Bai, is it? I've remembered you." Qu Mo patted his sister's back to comfort her, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Su Bai had no idea he had been noted by a peak Chunin; he was busy organizing his gains from the past few days.

In his bedroom, Su Bai stared blankly at the items before him.

Three days, only three days, and he had changed so much?

He had a total of 520 million Federal Coin in cash, the harvest from selling ten Long-Eared Rabbit and one Iron-Horned Sheep. This was enough for him to buy a house in the safe zone of the City Center for his family!

However, while this money made him happy, it didn't make him ecstatic. What truly thrilled him were the ninjutsu he had gained from this trip!

Thinking of this, Su Bai turned his gaze to the panel in his mind.

Shadow Clone Technique: LV1 (101/200)
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall LV1 (102/200)
Demonic Illusion: Fox Spirit Technique: LV1 (102/200)

"Two B-rank ninjutsu, one C-rank genjutsu—a huge harvest, a huge harvest indeed!" Su Bai was ecstatic. The Shadow Clone Technique, in particular, solved a major problem for him!

"Before, I was too busy doing missions to get stronger and didn't have time to practice ninjutsu, and using points to upgrade them felt like a waste... but now, with the Shadow Clone Technique as a cultivation bug, I can finally increase the power of my ninjutsu!"

Su Bai still couldn't forget the embarrassing numbers he saw when testing his ninjutsu power at the Hunter Guild!

Xia Xueqing and Yang Liu were both Genin, but one was a genius with 13 times the power, and the other, while slightly worse, still had 12 times the power.

But what about Su Bai?

He could only exert 3 times the power with one unit of chakra. The gap was so large that Yang Liu had suspected he was seeing things at the time!

How could someone as talented as Su Bai have such weak ninjutsu power?

That's right, in Yang Liu's eyes, Su Bai was a genius—a genius even stronger than himself!

Even Xia Xueqing thought the same.

But only Su Bai knew that he wasn't a genius at all.

Not only was he not a genius, he was actually less talented than the average person!

"My talent is mediocre. If I want to get stronger, relying on the system alone won't be enough. I must work harder than everyone else!"

"I can't do missions for now, so I'll focus on practicing ninjutsu during the time before school starts!" A sharp light gleamed in Su Bai's eyes, and he couldn't wait to embrace the hard days ahead!

At dinner, Su Bai tactfully mentioned his plan to buy a house in the City Center, and the chopsticks in his family's hands all dropped to the floor!

Su Jianhong stood up with a "thump," his body trembling slightly, his speech stuttering.

"Xiao Bai, y-you, what did you say? You want to buy a house in the City Center?"

"Yes, Dad!" Su Bai nodded and smiled, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry, but I wasn't actually training with Brother Chu. I went to the Wasteland Zone to hunt Magic Beast."

"And the harvest was quite good. I was lucky enough to find the carcass of an Iron-Horned Sheep. You should know what an Iron-Horned Sheep is, Dad? It's quite valuable. I sold it for 500 million, so... our family can move to a new house."

500 million!

Su Jianhong and Lin Xiu'e were dumbfounded!

Su Xiaoxiao covered her red lips with her delicate hands, too stunned to speak!

Five hundred million—this was a figure the family of three had never dared to even imagine!

However, Lin Xiu'e and Su Jianhong did not feel joy at first; instead, they looked at the white scars on Su Bai's exposed arms, knowing exactly what they were.

"Xiaobai, you... you must have suffered a lot, haven't you?" Lin Xiu'e's eyes welled up with tears as she touched Su Bai's arm, her voice choking with emotion.

Su Jianhong pulled out a cigarette. As the pillar of the family, he had to keep certain expressions off his face, so he said in a deep voice, "I'll say it again: you're grown up now and have your own ideas. Your mother and I won't stop you from doing what you want."

"But remember, no matter what you do, don't be reckless. Life can be changed slowly; don't make your mother and me worry, understand?"

"That's right, brother, I'm worried too. You... you brought out so much money all at once, you must have encountered a lot of danger, right?" Su Xiaoxiao leaned against Su Bai's shoulder and spoke softly.

Compared to moving to a new house, the three of them cared more about Su Bai being safe and sound. They would rather live in poverty for the rest of their lives than see Su Bai take risks.

Su Bai felt his eyes grow moist as he looked at his family, but he didn't want to make the atmosphere so heavy, so he quickly changed the subject and began sharing some interesting stories from the Wasteland Zone.

To his family, the Wasteland Zone was mysterious and unknown.

Soon, Su Jianhong, Lin Xiu'e, and Su Xiaoxiao were mesmerized by Su Bai's words, asking one question after another. Su Bai answered each one with a smile, finally managing to put his family's worries to rest.

The following afternoon, the neighbors of the Happiness Residential Complex, who had been quiet for decades, were buzzing with excitement!

"Huh? Isn't that the Su family? Are they moving?"

"You don't know? The Su family is moving to the City Center where the upper-class people live!"

"The City Center? How is that possible! Don't those houses cost at least a hundred million? How could old Su, a manual laborer, afford that?"

"It's not old Su, it's his son, Su Bai. I heard he's successful now; he's a Ninja!"

"Hiss, a Ninja? Can a Ninja really come from our Poor District?"
