Verification

Ren, panting, withdrew his hand from Natsuri.

Natsuri was alright, still full of energy, but Ren was completely exhausted.

You'll never know how tiring this job is until you experience it for yourself.

Fortunately, the result was good; it was a success on the first try... no, on the first attempt.

At this moment, Ren held a strange ball of energy, invisible to ordinary people, spinning rapidly in his hand.

It wasn't that Ren deliberately hid it from Natsuri, but rather a matter of strength.

A tattered, scroll-shaped icon, seemingly about to shatter at any moment, appeared in Ren's eyes.

After recovering the fragments, Ren partially focused his mind on the system space.

The originally black and white [Task] icon has been lit up, and Ren points at it with his mind.

Then we entered the mission section, which was still a shattered scene.

Only the unlocking quests related to the Eternal Flame are highlighted; all other main and side quests are grayed out.

The main quest description reads, "[First Encounter with Ninjas: Learn the Chakra Refining Technique and successfully extract your first Chakra.]"

[Task Status: Completed]

[Reward: Genin -level Chakra (To be claimed)]

Yes, I can't claim it, and I can't proceed to the next step of the main storyline.

Ren didn't have much to say about this.

If the system were complete, Ren would probably have had a much smoother journey and wouldn't have had to work so hard to get to where he is today.

Perhaps it's possible to reach the level of something like a six-year-old with Mangekyo Sharingan, an eight-year-old with Rinnegan, or a ten-year-old who masters the Six Paths Power.

However, it could also lead to a one-way street of becoming a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Every drink and every bite, is preordained.

"Yes, there's no problem. The 'demon' you mentioned is indeed gone."

Ren said, sounding slightly tired.

Then, Ren stood up and walked towards the outside of the sealing barrier. By the time he reached the exit, Ren's figure had completely disappeared.

"I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now. Kabuto, take good care of Natsuri."

"Also, Natsuri, don't tell anyone that I'm back."

Ren's figure had disappeared, leaving only his voice echoing in Kabuto and Natsuri's ears.

At this moment, the sealing barrier inside the tent had been closed. Kabuto and Natsuri exchanged a glance and remained silent.

After leaving the tent, Ren strolled leisurely outside.

However, no one could detect Ren's presence. After leaving the camp at a short distance, Ren vanished into the sky and flew rapidly towards Konoha.

Throughout the entire Konoha camp, only Rasa seemed to sense something as Ren flew into the sky, and his brow furrowed slightly.

In less than half an hour, Ren had returned to Konoha.

Standing on the bustling streets of Konoha, Ren reflected on his past experiences.

Whether entering the Konoha camp or entering Konoha, Ren did not notify anyone to provide cover, acting as if he were entering an empty place.

This is the gap between levels in a true cultivation system.

Unlike the pseudo -Chakra system established by the Sage of Six Paths, Jonin Genin can also kill Jonin by using various external factors.

There are no fairy tales between true cultivation systems. Being one point stronger can completely crush an opponent, and being three points stronger can cause a complete upheaval.

He walked towards the edge of the village as if no one else was around, and soon entered the clan's territory, arriving at his own doorstep.

Unfortunately, no one was home because it was daytime.

After Ren broke the seal outside his room, he entered his bedroom.

I opened the bedside storage cabinet and took out a dark, unremarkable wooden box from the far corner.

After Ren opened it, familiar Chinese characters came into view.

<Shrouding the Heavens>, <Battle Through the Heavens>, Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality...

Several thick, large-format books lay quietly in the box, and Ren flipped through them one by one.

No?

To be honest, Ren has only heard various embellishments from later generations regarding the wonders of Chinese characters. As for what makes them so magical, Ren has simply followed the opinions of later generations and parroted what others have said.

Looking at the ordinary paper and ordinary ink in front of me.

A sense of absurdity arose in Ren's mind.

Since their existence has been confirmed by later generations, these books could not possibly have been destroyed.

Ren firmly believes that the future of the time travel is the future of this Shinobi World, not some parallel universe that Orochimaru is trying to fool.

But these ordinary books placed in front of Ren could be burned with a single thought.

Just do it!

Without hesitation, Ren's thought ignited a flame.

Then a miraculous scene unfolded: the flames that could easily melt steel into molten iron actually adhered to the book and slowly burned.

Seeing this bizarre scene before him, Ren showed no fear or worry; a familiar smile appeared on his face.

Then, Ren intensified his efforts.

[Supernova!]

A small ball, the size of a mung bean but radiating terrifying light and heat, shot towards the book containing the word "Great Emperor" in the title "Shrouding the Heavens".

The result was obvious: the books were undamaged, and Ren's previous powerful move hadn't even raised the temperature in this ordinary wooden house.

Seeing this, Ren's smile grew even brighter, and the Twilight Sword had already appeared in his hand.

Just then, a plain white sheet of paper materialized out of thin air in the wooden box containing the copied books, with the following words written on it.

"Alright, stop fooling around. I'm telling you, Natsuri is fine!"
