In an instant, Uchiha Yin felt a noticeable increase in his strength, Chakra, speed, perception, and reflexes.
Even more astonishing, he had suddenly gained an understanding of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu!
It was only a rudimentary understanding, and he could use only the simplest techniques, but it was still the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu!
It was like a gift falling straight from the sky!
"System? System, say something! Why did I suddenly get All Attributes +1 and the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu?"
Uchiha Yin directed his question at the system in his mind.
But after delivering those messages, the system had gone silent again.
Was it because I just touched Kushina Uzumaki? Is that why the system rewarded me?
The Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu... It's possible.
An absurd idea took shape in Uchiha Yin's mind.
In fact, this was how Uchiha Yin's Strongest Protagonist System worked: whenever a Host of another system in the Strongest series earned a reward, he received that reward in full as well.
Task penalties, however, had nothing to do with Uchiha Yin. Even if another Host failed a task and was punished, he would suffer no penalty.
Well, unless being pinned down and kissed counted as punishment. That was another matter.
But Uchiha Yin had no idea that Kushina Uzumaki had also acquired a system and had just received the same reward he had. That was why his thoughts had taken such an absurd turn.
No, that can't be it. If it worked that way, why didn't I get the Rasengan when I touched Minato Namikaze? With Naruto as the protagonist, Minato Namikaze had far more appearances in the original story than Kushina Uzumaki.
Does it have to be a girl? No, that doesn't work either. I've touched my cousin Uchiha Mikoto before, and nothing like this happened.
After thinking it over, Uchiha Yin dismissed the idea.
He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped trying. For now, it didn't seem to do him any harm.
"Hahaha, look at the color of her hair."
"I've never seen anyone like her."
"How does hair even get that red?"
"What weird hair."
"If I looked like her, I'd be too embarrassed to leave the house."
Once class ended and the teacher was gone, the other students began chattering among themselves.
Some went even further, walking right up to Kushina Uzumaki to mock her.
"From now on, you're Tomato."
"That big, round face and red hair—you look just like a tomato."
"I hate tomatoes more than anything."
"Yeah. If there were tomatoes in my salad, I'd leave them behind."
"How's a tomato everyone hates supposed to earn the village's acceptance?"
