Astonishing Beauty, This Is My Home

Uchiha Xiao looked at the system panel, which featured a shop, a roulette wheel, and a mission system. Since his current points were zero, he ignored the shop and roulette, opting instead to open the mission panel.

Good grief, the missions were categorized into daily, weekly, achievements, encounters, and affinity. It truly had everything, complete with a thoughtful little prompt at the top.

"There are no unfinished tasks, only losers who refuse to do them."

This made Uchiha Xiao's head spin. What was this? This was gaslighting! What was this? This was capitalism! What a bunch of animals.

What did it mean, "no unfinished tasks, only losers who refuse to do them"? This was no different from saying, "As long as you can endure hardship, there will be endless hardship to endure!"

Uchiha Xiao sighed. Just then, he suddenly realized that he had already completed a few tasks.

Achievement Mission: Eye Awakening (Congratulations, you are now a loser with some strength; please continue to work hard!) Reward: 500 points.

Affinity Mission: Uzumaki Mito (Acquaintance) Reward: 50 points.

Affinity Mission: Tsunade (Casual Encounter) Reward: 10 points.

Uchiha Xiao exhaled. He supposed he was somewhat wealthy now, but when he opened the shop, his face turned green. What on earth was all this?

Sage Body: 999,999 points.

Mangekyo Sharingan: 99,999 points.

Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan: 999,999 points.

A-rank Ninjutsu: 20,000 points.

B-rank Ninjutsu: 5,000 points.

C-rank Ninjutsu: 500 points.

D-rank Ninjutsu: 50 points.

Uchiha Xiao hurriedly closed the shop. He had thought he was quite well-off, but it turned out his current wealth could only afford a C-rank ninjutsu!

Damn it, what use was a C-rank ninjutsu? Not to mention the Sage Body or the Mangekyo Sharingan; it seemed he was still a pauper.

Wait, wasn't there a roulette wheel? Uchiha Xiao opened the roulette and glanced at the rewards. Hmm, not bad—eight slots in total, with five glowing colors of red, gold, purple, blue, and green. The remaining three slots were "Better Luck Next Time," "One Month's Supply of Military Rations," and "One Month's Supply of Water."

Uchiha Xiao nodded. The rewards looked decent, but a single spin cost 168 points. This... he hesitated. A five-spin bundle cost only 800 points, and he only had 560, so he decided to save up a bit more.

After closing the system panel, he spoke internally, "System, you know everything, right?"

"Ding! The system knows all. Please feel free to ask, Host."

"What is Danzo doing right now?" Uchiha Xiao asked suddenly.

"Ding! Information requires a payment of 10 points. Does the Host wish to view it?"

"View," Uchiha Xiao said, feeling curious. After all, Danzo had been quite well-behaved during this battle. Sarutobi Hiruzen had just taken office, and Danzo had just become a consultant elder of Konoha. Even for the sake of his own interests, he had to fight this battle well!

"Ding! Now playing video for the Host."

Suddenly, an image appeared in Uchiha Xiao's mind.

The Third Hokage had just finished a meeting and assigned the teams when the dashing Danzo pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hiruzen, a little brat from the Uchiha clan has been in contact with Tsunade and Lady Mito. I suspect their clan is planning a rebellion! I suggest you hand this kid over to me for interrogation!" Shimura Danzo slammed his hand on the Third Hokage's desk.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, then folded his hands and placed them in front of his mouth. "Danzo, I am already aware of this matter. Let it be for now. Besides, the Uchiha are Konoha's Uchiha. If they wanted to rebel, they would have followed Madara Uchiha when he left!"

"Furthermore, don't forget that Kagami is still our teammate, and he is an Uchiha recognized by our teacher! We are about to go into battle, and the Uchiha are a force for the village."

Danzo scoffed, "Kagami is an Uchiha recognized by the teacher, that's true, but don't forget the talent of the Uchiha clan. As long as they awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, they possess the strength of a Jonin. Aren't you worried about that?" A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

"Enough! Danzo! I am the Hokage! Keep your petty thoughts to yourself! For now, the Uchiha are not to be touched!" The Third Hokage slammed his hand on the table. Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, standing to the side, shuddered. Sarutobi Hiruzen was in his prime, and since becoming Hokage, he had developed a touch of dominance!

"Hiruzen, you!" Shimura Danzo was stunned. He hadn't expected his own brother-in-arms to use his position as Hokage to suppress him—this was the first time! And all for a group of naturally evil Uchiha brats!

"Fine, Hiruzen, you will regret this!" With that, Danzo left the Hokage's office, slamming the door with his right hand.

Bang! He made no effort to hide his anger. Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Danzo's retreating figure and fell into deep thought.

Nearby, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado tried to persuade Sarutobi Hiruzen not to be angry, claiming Danzo was just acting on impulse. At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not the old man he would become; he was decisive, and if anyone dared to offend, he would strike back! He was certainly not one to be easily swayed by Danzo's incitement.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and lit it. The conference room filled with a hazy mist, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Although Koharu Utatane didn't like the smell of smoke, she didn't dare say anything and stood by, waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders.

Homura Mitokado, meanwhile, continued to console Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The video ended there. Uchiha Xiao nodded; it seemed that at this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still a "Ninja Hero" rather than a "Ninja Bear."

Just then, the door was pushed open. The person who entered was none other than Tsunade. Her long ponytail, combined with her already developing figure, radiated charm at every moment.

Uchiha Xiao couldn't help but glance over. Tsunade paused, suddenly remembering that Uchiha Xiao was still at her home, so she smiled and said, "Xiao-kun, you're awake. How are you? Is your body feeling better?"

Tsunade asked naturally. She took off her ninja armor, revealing the black tight-fitting suit underneath that showcased her figure to perfection.

Tsunade didn't notice how much her habitual actions were affecting Uchiha Xiao. Uchiha Xiao quickly looked away, a flush of red rising to his cheeks.

Seeing this, Tsunade looked down at her attire and couldn't help but blush. But seeing Uchiha Xiao's reaction, she suddenly felt less nervous and her eyes twinkled.

"Xiao-kun, what's wrong? Why is your face so red~?" Tsunade felt a playful urge.

Uchiha Xiao's face turned even redder at these words. He stammered, "Tsu... Tsunade, you, why don't you go out and change your clothes first?"

Tsunade tilted her head, the corners of her mouth curling up in confusion. "But, but this is my house!"

Uchiha Xiao felt as if his head had exploded; he hurriedly lowered his head and stammered, "I, I'm sorry, I, I'll head out first."

With that, he bolted out the door as if fleeing for his life. Standing in the courtyard of the Senju Ancestral Residence, a cold breeze blew past, helping Uchiha Xiao regain some of his composure. He let out a long breath, gazing up at the moon, his heart still pounding in his chest.

Tsunade watched Uchiha Xiao in the courtyard through the window, unable to stop herself from laughing out loud in her room. How had she never noticed this taciturn youth had such a side to him before?

Looking at Uchiha Xiao illuminated by the moonlight, she suddenly thought he looked rather handsome. She shook her head, pulled the curtains shut, and changed into clothes that were looser but still appropriate for the occasion.

The pacing of this book will be a bit slower, striving to be more detailed, more logical, and to handle the emotional scenes with greater care.
