Uchiha Matsuzaki

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, Host, you've successfully checked in. Reward: Scythe of the Death God (Heaven-grade)..."

In a dense forest in Konoha.

A battered long blade suddenly appeared before Uchiha Matsuzaki.

Uchiha Matsuzaki frowned at the battered blade before him, his face full of dissatisfaction and disappointment!

"System, your rewards keep getting worse. It's been a year since you activated."

"Forget everything else. I've checked in over 300 times for the daily rewards alone, and dozens of times at designated locations!"

"A few of those rewards were indeed great, and most of the rest were decent enough to be useful. But this time, you owe me an explanation!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki stared at the battered blade, his thoughts full of indignation on his own behalf.

Uchiha Matsuzaki had activated the system not long after crossing into this world. Sure, having a cheat meant he could do whatever he wanted, but this cheat had never been much help.

"Please calm down, Host. You'll understand once you read the description of this Heaven-grade weapon..."

A panel appeared before Uchiha Matsuzaki.

"Scythe of the Death God (Heaven-grade), Proficiency: 0"

"Use it once to gain 1 proficiency point. Upgrade to LV1. Additional skill: None"

"Use it 10 times to upgrade to LV2. Additional skill: Lightning (slows the target's movements for 30 seconds when struck)"

"Use it 100 times to upgrade to LV3. Additional skill: Strange Flame (the target is covered in strange flames when struck and burns to death)"

"Use it 500 times to upgrade to LV4. Unlock form: Scythe. Additional skill: The scythe spins horizontally around you, automatically attacking anything within 20 meters"

"After LV4, kill 20 elite jonin with this weapon to break through to God-grade. Stay tuned..."

"Each use increases proficiency by 1..."

After reading the panel, Uchiha Matsuzaki broke into a genuinely happy smile. This was the first time in a year he'd received such an overpowered weapon.

"System, you really didn't make me wait for nothing. This will give my combat power a huge boost."

"The rewards I got before were all about mastering strength or precision. I feel like I'm already close to the peak in both."

"Now that I have the Scythe of the Death God, the road ahead will be much easier!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki looked at the blade in his hand and grinned.

After all those check-ins, he'd finally gotten lucky today.

But now Uchiha Matsuzaki had a new problem to worry about.

"My proficiency is at zero. Raising it shouldn't be too hard. But getting those 20 elite jonin will be a real challenge!"

The Third Shinobi World War had ended not long ago. Finding that many elite jonin and taking them out would be no easy task!

Uchiha Matsuzaki shook his head, picked up the weapon, and stood.

"I'll just upgrade it to level one first. That's something I can do right now."

With that, Uchiha Matsuzaki took the blade and casually performed a few basic sword forms in the air.

The weapon in his hand changed. Its blade grew considerably narrower and turned black, with a red groove running down the middle. A scabbard appeared beside it as well.

"Hahaha! It really is a Heaven-grade weapon. It looks so damn cool!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki sheathed the blade and laughed.

Uchiha Matsuzaki had already mastered blades, swords, and hidden weapons. After all, most of his previous rewards had involved mastering those skills.

After calming down a little,

Uchiha Matsuzaki looked up at the sky, now half dark, and prepared to head home.

Just then,

Uchiha Matsuzaki's body instinctively sensed danger!
