All In

The two of them did not speak, quietly eating their ramen.

This made Tezuda Uncle very uncomfortable. Never, not once, had anyone eaten ramen in complete silence.

It was quite a blow. All he could say was, as expected of two Uchiha.

"Thank you for your help yesterday, Itachi-san. This ramen is on me."

The two bowls of ramen had actually cost 160 ryo. That was really expensive—no wonder only ninjas could afford to eat here.

"Thank you for your patronage. Please come again."

Uchiha Itachi said nothing and followed Uchiha Qingfeng out of Ichiraku Ramen.

The clan's young master had actually given up time he could have spent training to eat ramen with him. There had to be a reason.

"Why were you following me?"

"Just now, I saw your eyes..."

Uchiha Qingfeng understood. He went to a corner and activated his Sharingan again.

"Like this?"

Looking at those eerie eyes up close, was this Uchiha's Power? Uchiha Itachi did not hide his thoughts at all. They were from the same clan, after all—this was a friendly exchange.

"I want to know how I can obtain this kind of power."

Uchiha Qingfeng fell silent. Faced with Uchiha Itachi's intense Thirst for Knowledge, he did not know what to say. After all, his former self had awakened it only after hearing that his brother had Died in Battle.

He could not exactly tell him it was Orphan's Eye. He had to put it more tactfully.

"These are the Eye of Emotion. The deeper the feelings and Bonds you cherish, the more likely you are to gain this power."

Itachi seemed to understand, repeating softly, "Emotion?"

"I hope you never have to use eyes like these."

After saying that, Uchiha Qingfeng left. He had not expected to show off in front of Itachi once. This feeling was pretty good. He would do it again next time.

Back at the Pharmacy, now that he knew the effects, he no longer hesitated. He opened the System and tapped recharge.

He kept 199,840 ryo of Survivor Benefit and recharged the entire inheritance of One Million Ryo.

1,000,000 Gold Coin credited!

"Ding! Congratulations, Warrior, on reaching a Cumulative Recharge of 1,000,000 Gold Coin. You have additionally received a Gift Pack."

"Warrior Exclusive Member has been raised to Level 1."

"You have obtained a 2% Recharge Privilege."

There was no guarantee system, but the items were genuinely good. Since he had ended up with such a money-devouring ancestor, he could only accept it.

Everyone knew what the System's gifts were like. He casually opened it.

A blue glow flashed. Things were looking up—everything was looking up. As long as it was not "Thank you for your patronage," anything would do.

"Congratulations, you have obtained: God's Blessing."

Drink it, and God will watch over you, granting complete immunity to all damage for thirty minutes.

Something to save his life at a critical moment. The Pay-to-Win System was forever the greatest!

Products of the System were always top quality!

After praising it enough, he had only enough Gold Coin for ten Beginner Treasure Chests. He had to go all in.

Ten Consecutive Draws, here we go!

"Congratulations, Warrior, you have obtained the common item 'Rusted Katana.'"

This kind of blade could only bully children.

"Congratulations, Warrior, you have obtained the intermediate item 'Katana.'"

It could barely be used as a weapon. Be careful not to cut yourself.

"Thank you for your patronage. Better luck next time."

"Thank you for your patronage. Better luck next time."

"Congratulations, Warrior, you have obtained the Beginner Sword Skill 'Swift Shadow Hand.'"

Your Draw Speed has increased by a tiny amount, though it is not particularly useful.

"Congratulations, Warrior, you have obtained the Beginner Sword Skill 'Forward Slash.'"

Charge toward a selected target and deal ordinary damage. Warriors are advised to know their limits, or they will only be charging to their deaths.

"Congratulations, Warrior, you have obtained the Intermediate Sword Skill 'Draw Slash.'"

Quickly draw your blade and release a wave of Sword Qi around you. An essential skill for harvesting rookies in Team Battle.

"Congratulations, Warrior, you have obtained the food item 'Remidia Cake.'"

Something might happen after you eat it...

"Congratulations, Warrior, you have obtained the Beginner Potion 'Master Potion' x2."

Drink it to quickly restore Chakra. It might be somewhat useful.

"Congratulations, Warrior, you have obtained the Advanced Sword Skill 'Instant Slash.'"

After learning this Sword Skill, you can barely earn a little fame in the Ninja World. You are still far from deserving the title of "Hero."

Uchiha Qingfeng had already exceeded his expectations with only two "Thank you for your patronage" results. The System still had a bit of conscience. He learned all the Sword Skills directly, gaining strength for free. There were no ninjutsu, but this was already pretty good.

Warrior: Uchiha Qingfeng

Age: 6

Sword Skills: Level 1 Forward Slash, Level 1 Draw Slash, Level 1 Swift Shadow Hand, Level 1 Instant Slash.

Evaluation: Still a rookie beginner. Keep working hard.

After reading it, Uchiha Qingfeng had a bad feeling. "System, what does Level 1 Sword Skill mean?"

"It means exactly what you think it means."

Level 1 meant that warriors could raise a Sword Skill's level and increase its power through practice. Of course, they could also draw it directly from the System—simple and quick...

With such a scammy System, he had no desire to keep talking. He could only come back after he had money again.

Making money became Uchiha Qingfeng's top priority.

"It doesn't feel like learning Sword Skills did anything..." Uchiha Qingfeng picked up the Katana he had just drawn.

The moment he gripped it, the Sword Skills he had just learned felt as though he had practiced them thousands upon thousands of times. He could not help wanting to test their power.

Uchiha Qingfeng carried the Katana, which was as long as he was tall to the shoulder, into the forest.

He could not use Swift Shadow Hand or Draw Slash. At his height, even using both hands, he could not draw the Katana. He could only toss the sheath aside.

With a tree directly ahead as his target, Uchiha Qingfeng raised the blade with both hands.

Forward Slash! He charged straight at it, leaving a slash mark on the trunk.

One-fifth of his Chakra had been consumed. The damage felt pretty average...

And Forward Slash only had a range of around five meters. Compared to ninjutsu that could create forests and lakes outright, all he could think was, Is that it?

Still, he could spam Forward Slash on the battlefield. As long as he ran fast enough, ninjutsu would not be able to catch him.

Did the Advanced Sword Skill Instant Slash have roughly the same attack range as Forward Slash? Was it because it was only Level 1?

He used Instant Slash on the same tree. This time, Uchiha Qingfeng's figure vanished outright. When he reappeared, he was already behind the tree.

The tree was cut cleanly in half.

Uchiha Qingfeng cursed and dodged the falling tree. At the same time, he had to admit that Instant Slash truly deserved to be called an Advanced Sword Skill.

The remaining Chakra in his body was completely depleted. This was far more powerful than the Body Flicker Technique—it had a bit of the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Slash flavor.

The only difference was that Instant Slash had a higher requirement for the target to remain still than Flying Thunder God Slash. It felt like it would be easy to miss in battle.

Uchiha Qingfeng took out the Master Potion he had just drawn and took a sip.

The System's potions were simply too potent. He could not forget the feeling of running all night, and now that his Chakra had been completely depleted, it was the perfect chance to test its effects.

One sip refreshed his mind, and his drained Chakra was almost instantly replenished.

So this was a Beginner Potion made by the System? He loved it. He really loved it.

The effect was far too strong. It was completely safe and had no side effects. Things like Soldier Pills, which came with side effects, could not compare at all.

Maybe it was also because Uchiha Qingfeng had too little Chakra.
