First Gaining the Sharingan

"Could you give me a heads-up next time? At least let me prepare a little..."

Upon waking, Yun Xi was clearly dissatisfied with the system's infuriating behavior.

However, after a round of grumbling, he had no choice but to let it go when the system failed to respond.

Yun Xi's attention was then drawn to the new mark that had appeared on the back of his neck.

"This Heaven Curse Mark seems a bit different from Sasuke's, doesn't it?"

After observing it with a mirror, Yun Xi discovered the discrepancies.

Although the location was the same as Sasuke's—appearing on the nape of the neck—the mark on Yun Xi's body did not resemble the three tomoe.

Instead, it was a tattoo of pitch-black wings, and Yun Xi could feel an inherent aura of darkness emanating from it.

"Ding. It is recommended that the host observe their own attributes before proceeding with enhancements."

Seeing that Yun Xi was still studying the Heaven Curse Mark, the silent system spoke up once again.

At the same time, a virtual attribute panel appeared in Yun Xi's eyes.

Host: Yun Xi Age: 6 Strength: Genin (Peak Chunin under Curse Mark state) Mastered Ninjutsu: Three Body Technique (Proficient), Heaven Curse Mark (Mastered), Multi Shadow Clone Technique (Not yet initiated) Ninjutsu Talent: B Taijutsu Talent: B Genjutsu Talent: D

"Is this my current strength?"

Yun Xi was somewhat surprised upon seeing his attribute panel, as his current level of power caught him off guard.

Before obtaining the Pay-to-Win System, Yun Xi, despite his diligence and hard work, had been nothing more than a war orphan.

His personal conditions and resources were extremely mediocre; despite years of training, his true strength hadn't even reached the level of a Genin.

Yet, after having the system for only a single day, his strength had already reached the Genin level.

By using the Heaven Curse Mark, he could even reach the strength of a Chunin!

"No, Chunin-level strength is still too weak in this world. I must become stronger!"

The joy of his growth in strength did not linger in Yun Xi's heart for long.

In the world of Naruto, a Chunin's strength was merely that of powerful cannon fodder, not to mention figures like Madara, who was akin to a god.

Even Zabuza Momochi, an early-stage boss in Naruto, could easily kill the current Yun Xi in an instant...

"This bit of strength is not enough!" Yun Xi naturally understood that with his current power, he could only play a bit part in the Naruto storyline.

But Yun Xi was not panicked, because he had the system and, more importantly, time!

"System, open the shop!"

Thinking of the one thousand Pay-to-Win points in his possession, Yun Xi opened the shop directly.

After all, in this world, strength was the capital that allowed one to speak.

And Pay-to-Win points were the best means to strengthen himself, bar none!

"Ding. The shop has been opened."

Following Yun Xi's command, the shop interface appeared directly before his eyes.

From basic proficiency in the Three Body Technique to the Sharingan and Byakugan.

Even god-tier abilities like the Six Paths Sage Mode and Sage Mode were all displayed before Yun Xi.

"One-Tomoe Sharingan (can be evolved via Pay-to-Win points): 1,000 Pay-to-Win points." "Byakugan (Caged Bird Curse Mark): 1,000 Pay-to-Win points." "Byakugan (Unlimited Mode): 10,000 Pay-to-Win points." "Eight Inner Gates (First four gates): 5,000 Pay-to-Win points." "Eight Inner Gates (Complete form): 100,000 Pay-to-Win points." ... "Sage Mode (Complete form): 999,999,999 Pay-to-Win points."

The dazzling array of items in the shop panel left Yun Xi feeling momentarily overwhelmed; it could be said that he wanted everything in the shop...

But unfortunately, he had no money, and the things he could purchase with a mere 1,000 Pay-to-Win points were extremely limited.

"Should I buy the Sharingan?"

As one of the most famous "hacks" in Naruto, Yun Xi naturally wanted it very much.

Although its combat power in the early stages wasn't overwhelming, both its dynamic vision and its ability to see through an enemy's hand seals would provide a massive boost to Yun Xi's combat effectiveness.

Furthermore, once evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan, one could unlock the greatest cheat in all of Naruto—the Susanoo!

However, Yun Xi did not exchange for it immediately; instead, he felt somewhat conflicted.

This was because the Sharingan was far too unique; only members of the Uchiha clan had the potential to awaken it.

Yet, Yun Xi's true self was merely a war orphan.

Although Konoha was relatively harmonious compared to many other ninja villages, for a war orphan to suddenly possess a Sharingan...

Not to mention the thoughts of Konoha's higher-ups, even the Uchiha clansmen would not easily let Yun Xi off the hook.

"Screw it! Strength is the only truth!"

In the end, Yun Xi exchanged for a single-tomoe Sharingan. This enhancement was not as violent as the Heaven Curse Mark.

Yun Xi only felt a flicker of phantom imagery in his eyes, and the next second, a blood-red tomoe appeared within his left eye.

"You scamming system, why is there only a Sharingan in one eye?"

Seeing that only one eye had evolved into a Sharingan, Yun Xi roared in anger!

"Ding, all dojutsu-type bloodline limits are priced per single eye. This system is honest and fair."

"Fine, you win..."

Faced with the system's explanation, Yun Xi felt powerless to refute it.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task—First Purchase. Randomly rewarding the host with a one-level increase in ninjutsu proficiency."

"Ding, Multi-Shadow Clone Technique (Uninitiated) has been upgraded to Multi-Shadow Clone Technique (Initiated)."

After the system prompt ended, various techniques for using the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique and the hand seals suddenly appeared in Yun Xi's mind.

"This is?" The sudden reward notification left Yun Xi somewhat surprised.

One had to know that Yun Xi had previously only glanced roughly at the scroll for the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique.

In reality, he hadn't fully mastered it, but with the system's reward, Yun Xi was now directly capable of using this technique, which could be called a cheat.

Although still a bit raw, he had fully mastered this ninjutsu.

It should be noted that Yun Xi's talent for ninjutsu was not that of a genius; in the system's rating, it was only a B, belonging to the level of an average extra.

To learn the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique, he estimated it would take at least several months.

This system reward had directly saved him that training time.

"System, what's the deal with the tasks?"

Yun Xi didn't dwell too much on the system reward, instead beginning to ask for information regarding the tasks.

At first, Yun Xi thought this system was merely a simple pay-to-win enhancement system, but now it seemed it wasn't that simple.

"This system has diverse functions and immense power. Aside from the pay-to-win shop, in order to encourage the host to pay-to-win more diligently, a task system has been opened. After reaching a certain level of spending or consumption, this system will also provide some benefits in return."

This time, the system did not ignore Yun Xi's question but answered it very carefully.

After a pause, the system continued: "In addition to traditional pay-to-win tasks, the system will also release plot-related tasks from time to time. Completing them will grant massive rewards, but whether or not to accept them depends on the host's personal choice."

After clarifying the system's functions, the system finally spoke to Yun Xi in a very bewitching tone: "Young man, do you want to become stronger? Work hard and pay-to-win!"
