"Side Quest Two activated: openly declare that your dream is to become Uchiha Yin's wife. Reward upon completion: Medical Ninjutsu +1 and Nature Transformation of Water-Style Chakra."
The sudden mission from the system caught Rin mid-sentence.
That's way too embarrassing!
Maybe I just won't say it. There doesn't seem to be a penalty for failing, anyway.
Rin could feel Uchiha Yin, Shizune, and Kurenai listening closely. How was she supposed to say something like that?
Ding! Penalty for failure: whenever Uchiha Yin touches the Host, her physical sensitivity will increase one hundredfold.
Rin stared at the penalty, stunned as though she had been struck over the head.
One hundred times more sensitive? Wouldn't even the slightest touch from Master Yin hurt unbearably?
How am I supposed to train under Master Yin today, then?
Rin's eyes darted around. Getting those words out felt impossibly hard.
Even for an open, straightforward girl like Rin, saying something like that was no easy feat.
Only a girl like Anko could probably say it without a second thought.
Anko was a girl in the same Ninja Academy class as Shizune, Kurenai, and Rin. (Anko seemed to be a year younger than Kurenai, but let's just put them in the same class and call it the butterfly effect. Ha.)
Kurenai and Shizune were looking at Rin a little strangely, too.
They had been classmates with Rin for over a year, yet neither had ever seen her act so bashful.
If Rin had known what they were thinking, she would have said, That's because I've never confessed to anyone before!
What was the difference between this system mission and making Rin confess her feelings herself?
Not that Rin was especially opposed to the idea.
"My dream... my dream is to become Master Yin's wife!"
