Chapter 82

Neither system selection nor self-cultivation can increase one's stats by a single point.

Liuyun could also clearly feel the bottleneck in his physical and Mental Energy.

It's like a pitch-black barrier, an insurmountable chasm, clearly separating the Kage Level from the Super Shadow level.

He didn't know about his physical constitution, but he had tried to break through with his Mental Energy many times, all of which ended in failure.

"Does it mean that I have to evolve the Mangekyo into the Eternal Eye?"

Liuyun frowned, her eyes filled with melancholy and confusion.

The Eternal Eye can only evolve successfully by combining the Mangekyo of one's own family member and one's own Mangekyo.

Madara used his younger brother Uchiha Izuna's, Uchiha Sasuke used his older brother Itachi the Clan Killer's!

And what about myself? I'm currently an only child, so this path is blocked!

So we can only pin our hopes on this unreliable system.

Mentioning the system gave Liuyun a headache again, as the choices were always the same: Chakra, Mental Energy, and physique.

Occasionally, other Ninjutsu skills are scarce.

Getting an Eternal Eye is incredibly difficult...

As for Yin-Yang Release, it's been the same for two years. Apart from being more proficient than before, it's been a complete waste of time.

Ice Release is possible, after two years of continuous day and night development.

Both its power and the temperature of the cold air have increased by at least double compared to two years ago.

The Ice was no longer crystal clear, but had a hint of blue.

As for Genjutsu, since his Mental Energy was no longer increasing, Liuyun focused on developing his own large-scale Genjutsu.

Three layers have been completed so far, and the fourth layer is under construction, which can be considered a steady improvement.

The Heavenly Winter Garment in the right eye of the Mangekyō Sharingan has now been developed by Liuyun to a 7-fold amplification.

Liuyun tried it once, and it can only be described in two words: awesome!

As far as the eye could see, everything was white, a silver-clad world, with snow drifting for miles.

Time has passed unnoticed, and 35 years have gone by in the Shinobi World!

Second Shinobi World War once again reached a fever pitch, with the Land of Wind and Konoha locked in a fierce and back-and-forth battle.

The Land of Rain has expanded completely, conquering all the surrounding smaller countries.

The Land of Lightning suddenly went to war with the Land of Earth.

The entire Shinobi World is in chaos!

Hanzo of the Salamander was unhappy that various countries were using his territory as a battlefield.

They directly sent troops to fight the Iwa Shinobi. Don't ask why they didn't attack Konoha; the answer is simply that they didn't dare.

That year, Liuyun, Kushina, and the other two had turned 13.

Kushina and Mikoto have begun to gradually reveal their charm.

Liuyun still looks like he's 16 years old; time hasn't left a mark on his face.

Liuyun's strength didn't improve much this year; he was stuck at the bottleneck of becoming Super Shadow.

However, he completely perfected the Male Yin Seal and successfully cultivated it.

Unlike the female Yin Seal, Liuyun's Yin Seal is shaped like a lifelike black dragon.

Printed on my back, it's like a replica of the Great Heavenly Dragon.

After a year of practicing the Yin Seal, the two women became increasingly proficient in it.

In their words, they would definitely succeed in two years at most.

That year, Kushina mastered almost all of the Uzumaki Clan's secret techniques and was able to use them skillfully.

Mikoto then revealed her Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Liuyun asked her when she had opened her eyes.

Mikoto said with a sorrowful expression, "It was activated three years ago when four Uchiha died in front of her!"

Liuyun suddenly realized that the Uchiha Clan could only Sharingan after experiencing extreme emotional stimulation.

It was normal for Mikoto to be able to activate it back then. He was a little confused at the time, but now it seems he was overthinking it.

As punishment for Mikoto's concealment, Liuyun severely punished the little girl that night.

The next day, the little girl's big, dark eyes were filled with resentment.

It was noon again, Liuyun was having lunch with Mikoto Kushina.

A member of the Anbu service appeared before him.

"Lord Liuyun! The Lord Hokage requests your presence!"

Liuyun raised an eyebrow. Why was this old guy bothering him for no reason?

She replied calmly, "I understand. I'll come over after I finish eating!"

"What does the Lord Hokage want with you? It can't be anything good!"

Kushina bit her chopsticks, puffed out her cheeks, and looked angry.

"Don't worry! Liuyun be fine!" Mikoto whispered to reassure her best friend and concubine.

"Mikoto is right, you little brat (you good-for-nothing) just don't trust your Husband. Hiruzen Sarutobi only asked me to go to the front lines!"

Liuyun gently patted Kushina's head and smiled warmly.

"I never said they would be your rivals, I just find them disgusting!"

Kushina frowned and muttered to herself. Ever since Liuyun told the two girls about the Konoha conspiracy theory, Kushina couldn't stand looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi and other high-ranking officials.

With that fiery temper, if Kushina weren't weak enough, she might have just punched the Third Hokage and given him a good beating.

"Alright! Alright!"

"I'll go check on her. Don't overthink it," Liuyun, coaxing Kushina Chen as if she were a child.

The bok choy will be ready to eat in three more years!

Chapter 123 The Eternal Eye Option Appears, the Money-Giving F4! (3rd Update!)

Konoha, Hokage Building!

The Konoha F4 sat there with calm expressions, Sarutobi Hiruzen held a large opium pipe, puffing out clouds of smoke.

"Enbi, do we really have to make Liuyun take action? It's not like we've reached the final point!"

Utatane Koharu frowned, not understanding Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Enbi, you need to understand that if Liuyun were to take action, Second Shinobi World War might be halted because of him!"

"At that time, his prestige will soar to its peak, and he will definitely be the strongest contender for the future Fourth Hokage!" Mitokado Homura said in a deep voice.

"Sigh! There's nothing we can do. The border region between Sakumo Land of Wind is now locked in a stalemate!"

The two kingdoms of Thunder and Earth have started another war, while the Land of Rain is stirring things up, attacking back and forth.

They couldn't win a fight, and they couldn't retreat either; the amount of food and supplies consumed at the border every day was astronomical.

Not to mention, there are still medical supplies...

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, continuing his tirade.

Ultimately, war is a contest of resources and attrition.

This situation could only be resolved by the emergence of a decisive figure who could extinguish the flames of World Second Shinobi World War with lightning speed.

Otherwise, the stalemate will continue, and whoever can't withstand the pressure first, Konoha or Sand Ninja, will lose.

Heaven knows when the Land of Wind will give up; the First and Second Hokage left him a substantial legacy.

But that's not how you should fail. There were clearly people who could solve the problem immediately, so why not use them?

The flow of clouds deployed to the border will have an overwhelming effect.

"Enbi! Don't take this for granted. That kid's strength is beyond the control of even you and me!"

"Whether they'll agree or not is still uncertain!" Danzo sat in his chair, a sinister smile on his face.

As the saying goes, the person who understands you best is often not yourself, but your enemy.

Danzo has been busy these past two years, investigating and studying Liuyun's nature.

Therefore, he was highly confident that Liuyun would not recognize Hiruzen Sarutobi's command.

"Yo! Everyone's here! What can I do for you, Lord Hokage?"

Pushing open the Hokage gate, Liuyun walked in with a smile.

As for knocking on doors, only the weak do that!

Liuyun's sudden entrance caused the other three, except for Hiruzen Sarutobi, to unconsciously furrow their brows.

This kid is getting more and more rude.

"Yes! I've called you here today to ask you to go to the border, drive back the Sand Ninja, and end this war as soon as possible!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled gently, his tone unusually kind.

"Ding! A critical choice has been detected for the host! Please choose!"

1. Agree to Sarutobi Hiruzen's request to end Second Shinobi World War ahead of schedule. Rewards will be given, but this will change the course of Shinobi World history and may have unpredictable consequences!

2. Frankly refuse, keep the original story, watch the Second Shinobi World War end, witness the famous scene, and the fall of the Third Raikage.

Reward: Host's Mangekyō Sharingan has been upgraded to the Eternal Eye!

3. Frankly refuse, keep the Shinobi World as it is, watch the Second Shinobi World War come to an end, and reward with the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai!

(Ding! This is a special option, so the reward will be issued ahead of schedule after the host makes the selection!)

Just as Liuyun was about to speak, a storm of emotions surged within her calm heart upon seeing the three options in her mind.

The first one is definitely not the choice. Although Wood Release is attractive enough, Liuyun already has Ice Release bloodstains, so he doesn't need Wood Release. Therefore, it is naturally excluded from his selection.

That leaves only the second one, the Eternal Eye, which is what he has been wanting all along!

With it, I will break through my bottleneck, enter the ranks of the Super Shadow, and my strength will increase once again.

"System! I choose option two! The reward will be issued later."

With a coded "(ajbc), "Liuyun gazed at the Konoha Silver Coin F4 in front of him, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.

At this moment, Liuyun found Sarutobi Hiruzen more pleasing than ever before.

His tone softened, and he casually offered a reason.

"No need, Lord Hokage. I'm currently studying Senjutsu in Shikkotsu Forest, so I'm afraid I can't help in the Second Shinobi World War!"

"Senjutsu?? Could it be the Senjutsu that the First Master learned?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's old eyes widened, and he spoke instinctively.

"That's right! I've been studying for a month now, and I've started to get a little bit of insight."

Liuyun gave a forced, bitter laugh.

"You summoned the Anbu at just the right time today, otherwise I would have been in seclusion in the Shikkotsu Forest!"

"Today is also a day to explain things to Kushina and Mikoto!"

With the Eternal Eye, Liuyun indeed had a reason to go into seclusion, and the Shikkotsu Forest was a perfect excuse.

If the cunning and calculating Sarutobi Hiruzen still can't understand what Liuyun has said so clearly, then he's wasted all these years Hokage.

He sighed dramatically, "What a pity! I was hoping you could resolve this war!"

"I'm sorry, Lord Hokage!" Liuyun said with regret in his eyes.

At this moment, the old fox and the little fox once again put on a spectacular acting show.
