Make-Out Paradise

"Lady Tsunade, what did you pull?!"

Watching Tsunade immersed in her own joy, the crowd beneath the arena was filled with confusion.

What kind of treasure could it be to make a Kage-level powerhouse lose her composure like this?

"Lady Tsunade, may we ask what reward you received?"

"That book—it must be an incredibly powerful ninjutsu!"

Tsunade finally snapped back to reality and shoved the Gambling Compendium into her robes.

She cleared her throat twice, reverting to the dignified demeanor expected of a Kage-level powerhouse.

"It's nothing. It would be useless to any of you, but to me, it is a priceless treasure."

In her heart, she was already cheering; she could finally shed the title of "Sucker."

I'll show those casinos what Senju Tsunade's gambling skills are really like!

"Alright, your two chances for today are used up. If you're satisfied with the reward, please come back early tomorrow!"

Tsunade looked at Zhou Cheng, still feeling unsatisfied; such a reward was exactly what she had dreamed of.

She wanted more!

"Give me one more chance, just one!"

Zhou Cheng smiled faintly. In your dreams!

"Impossible!"

"Here, everyone is equal. The only thing that measures your worth is the damage you deal to me!"

"Two chances per person, per day—that is the rule of my arena!"

"Even I cannot break it!"

Of course I can't break it; I literally don't have the power to!

Tsunade raised her fist in a fit of rage. "Aren't you seeking death?"

"What would it hurt to take one more punch from me?"

Zhou Cheng remained as immovable as a mountain, shaking his head slightly.

"Even if you dealt damage as high as the heavens on a third attempt, there would be no reward!"

"Rules are rules!"

Tsunade was furious, pointing an angry finger at Zhou Cheng.

"Fine, I'll remember this. I'll make you regret it tomorrow!"

Tsunade leaped off the arena, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for her.

No one dared to provoke a Kage-level powerhouse in a fit of rage.

With a stern face, Tsunade walked out of the Uchiha Clan plaza. After turning a corner and ensuring no one was watching, she instantly broke character, pulling out the bottle of wine and the Gambling Compendium.

She chuckled, popped the cap, and took a swig, a sound of pure satisfaction escaping her throat.

"Refreshing!"

She looked left and right, confirming no one was following her before tucking away her two rewards.

After walking a few steps, she began to worry.

There was only one bottle of wine, and she still had to share it with that girl Izumi—it wasn't nearly enough!

I must come earlier tomorrow and pull another bottle of this fine wine!

She patted the Gambling Compendium through her clothes once more and turned toward her home in the Hidden Leaf.

"Time to go home and study properly!"

"Just you wait, casinos. Tomorrow, I'll be someone you can't afford to look down on!"

The shield-breaking on the arena continued.

One person after another stepped onto the stage, completed their two attacks, took their rewards, and left.

With Tsunade's damage value set as the benchmark, no one else could surpass her.

As the sky gradually darkened, the line had almost disappeared.

Just then, a white shadow caught Zhou Cheng's eye.

It was a head of white hair. At first, Zhou Cheng thought it was an old man, but when he saw the person's attire, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

Hatake Kakashi!

I didn't expect him to show up!

But this is a good thing!

The more powerhouses there are, the faster his shield will break!

At this point, Hatake Kakashi already possessed Kamui; a single glance from him was enough to manufacture a "Kakashi murder incident."

"I've been waiting in line all day, don't I get a little reward?"

Zhou Cheng smiled faintly. Everyone wanted something for nothing.

"As long as you deal high damage, you will naturally receive a reward."

Zhou Cheng would certainly not allow the rules of the system to be broken.

Kakashi nodded, and without another word, he began to weave hand seals.

A dazzling blue light ignited in his hands, followed by a sound like the chirping of a thousand birds:

"Lightning Style: Chidori!"

Kakashi charged toward Zhou Cheng, his right palm wreathed in endless lightning.

The crowd beneath the arena suddenly perked up; if a few more powerhouses didn't show up, they were all going to fall asleep.

Itachi, Shisui, and Uchiha Izumi had not left, remaining under the arena to watch for the entire day.

Seeing the ninjutsu Kakashi unleashed, Itachi and Shisui's eyes narrowed, and they spoke in unison:

"Chidori! Kakashi!"

"He actually came too!"

Hearing their exclamations, the others reacted instantly.

The Copy Ninja, Hatake Kakashi.

A peerless genius who became a Jonin at the age of twelve!

Had he not been transferred into the Anbu later on, his reputation would have been even greater.

A thick sense of fighting spirit appeared in Shisui's eyes.

People are always burdened by their reputations!

As the one hailed as the strongest of the current Uchiha generation, he naturally wanted to know who was stronger between himself and Kakashi.

Since there was no reason for the two of them to fight, they would compare their strength through the amount of damage dealt to Zhou Cheng.

Itachi had not been in the Anbu for long, but he had also heard of Kakashi's great name.

A genius even more monstrous than himself.

A man who had carved out a resounding reputation from the Third Great Ninja War!

He wanted to know just how strong Kakashi really was.

Geniuses never believe they are inferior to others!

Whispers rippled through the crowd beneath the arena:

"It's actually the Copy Ninja, Kakashi."

"He became a Jonin at twelve; he must be an Elite Jonin by now!"

"He's twenty-two now, ten years later—he might even be Kage-level!"

Zhou Cheng agreed deeply with this sentiment. After awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan and adding Kamui to his arsenal, Kakashi could indeed be considered Kage-level.

He was just a "ten-second man," with the root cause being his chakra reserves.

Even so, he was already the Hatake Five-Five Split; if he possessed the same amount of chakra as Naruto, with Kamui as his trump card, his fame would only be greater.

Kakashi's right palm pressed against Zhou Cheng's left chest, clearly aiming for his heart.

Yet, until the energy of the Lightning Style dissipated, he had been unable to break through the surface of Zhou Cheng's body.

Shock surfaced in the single eye Kakashi had exposed.

Seeing it and experiencing it personally were two completely different things!

Only after attacking him himself could he deeply realize how terrifying Zhou Cheng was.

Chidori was an A-rank ninjutsu, even if Kakashi hadn't used his full power.

But Chidori's specialty was piercing through a surface with a single point!

Even when facing a thick earthen wall, it could easily punch through.

He looked at his own palm in disbelief, then looked at Zhou Cheng, and shook his head slightly.

Zhou Cheng looked up and saw the numbers floating in the air.

-12045.

[Damage dealt: 12,405 points]
[Shield remaining HP: 9,999,999,878,985]
[Damage Rank: Blue]
[Reward obtained: Blue Blind Box]

Kakashi's brows furrowed. Only this much?

If only he had known, he would have used his full strength!

Itachi and Shisui both wore expressions of disappointment; Kakashi hadn't gone all out!

Recalling their own first encounters, they couldn't help but offer a wry smile.

Anyone attacking Senior Zhou Cheng for the first time was always afraid of killing him in a single blow.

His genin-level chakra flow was simply too deceptive!

As for Zhou Cheng remaining unscathed after being attacked, the crowd beneath the arena had already grown accustomed and numb to it.

Treating him like a genin only resulted in losing face.

It only served to let the attacker slap their own face.

Kakashi opened the blind box.

A book lay quietly inside, the title reading Make-Out Paradise.

[Make-Out Paradise x1]

[From the Naruto world, 18+ romance novel]

[Young man, have you prepared your tissues?]

[Host received a critical hit reward, obtaining the complete set of books including Icha Icha Violence and Icha Icha Tactics]

Watching Kakashi freeze in place, Zhou Cheng revealed an expression that every shut-in would understand!
