Awakening

If he could not obtain the Nine-Tails' Chakra, then his body outside, already on the verge of death, definitely would not survive. At that point, forget dominating the Naruto World—he might not even be able to return to his previous life.

Ye Liang suddenly noticed the metal sphere.

"Something even the Nine-Tails doesn't know about... what exactly is it?"

Could it save him?

Ye Liang immediately looked toward the metal sphere. "But isn't it a little too high up?"

The sphere above looked small only because it was so far away. From Ye Liang's current position, it was at least dozens of meters away!

"If you want to go over there, just fly," the Nine-Tails suddenly reminded him.

"Fly?"

Ye Liang closed his eyes and tried. He discovered that his body had actually begun to float, and he immediately arrived before the metal sphere.

It was a metal sphere about the size of a person. Judging from its appearance, it seemed to be made of some kind of special alloy and looked extremely high-tech.

He touched it with his hand. It was a little cold.

Krypton Eye Function, activated!

System (Pseudo)

Gender: Female

Cup size: Flat as a board

Detected as a third-level technological civilization. Due to the absence of a small number of chips, only the general capabilities of third-level technology are available.

Evaluation: Very weak.

"Holy shit! This is actually my system!"

Ye Liang was stunned!

He had never imagined that the system would appear in his mental world, much less in this form.

"But why does the system have a cup size?" Ye Liang muttered a few words. "And it's flat as a board. This is way too ridiculous!"

But the moment he laughed out loud, the metal sphere in front of him suddenly slammed him flying!

"Host, please watch your language! Otherwise, this system has the right to punish the host!" The metal sphere flew wildly through the sky, displaying its dissatisfaction.

"This thing is actually alive?"

Ye Liang was dumbfounded.

He had originally thought that his system was merely an emotionless machine. Aside from giving him mechanical prompts, it had never chatted with him or anything.

Other people's systems would turn into gorgeous beauties and such, but his system had nothing!

"Could it be because this thing has lost some functions? It's incomplete!" Ye Liang suddenly recalled the Krypton Eye's introduction just now.

System (Pseudo)?

There was actually the word "Pseudo"!

The last time the word "Pseudo" had appeared was when he encountered Orochimaru in Sunagakure.

At the time, Orochimaru had used the Shedding Jutsu to escape, leaving behind a body as well. What Ye Liang detected with the Krypton Eye had also been marked with the word "Pseudo"!

So the current system was only a shell, and its soul was not here?

Ye Liang suddenly felt that he had guessed the truth!

If that was the case, then where was the system's soul? Was it also in the Naruto World, or was it in his previous life?

Ye Liang continued to speculate.

But before long, he shook his head.

His top priority now was not to uncover the system's mysteries!

His body was about to die, and Ye Liang's consciousness had already begun to weaken.

"I have to get the Nine-Tails' help."

Ye Liang decided to move him with words first.

"Big Brother Nine-Tails! We hit it off so well. Though we weren't born on the same year, month, and day, perhaps today we'll die on the same year, month, and day. No matter how you look at it, we're sworn brothers, so please save me!"

His words were eloquent and extremely convincing.

But the Nine-Tails did not buy it.

"If you die, I'll be free. Who wants to die with you?"

"Uh..."

Fine, that made sense!

Ye Liang was helpless.

"Then how about this? I'll give you my body. As long as you save me, I'll give you control over it."

"Hm? You're really willing to do that?" The Nine-Tails revealed a suspicious expression.

Ye Liang remembered.

The Nine-Tails had previously told him that as long as he was willing to give it his body, it would lend him Chakra.

Although he had not agreed at the time, it had also made Ye Liang realize something!

The Nine-Tails coveted his body!

Anyone who coveted his body would absolutely be unable to resist the temptation of having it!

Sure enough, the moment Ye Liang nodded, the Nine-Tails immediately revealed a lecherous grin.

"Haha, it worked!"

Outside.

Several days had passed since Ye Liang fell unconscious.

"Ye Liang! Wake up already!"

Inside the small villa Hiruzen Sarutobi had gifted him, Anko's childish voice carefully called Ye Liang's name, but he remained unconscious.

"What do we do? Teacher's body is about to lose all signs of life! If he doesn't wake up soon, he'll really die!" Rin Nohara continuously treated Ye Liang with Medical Ninjutsu.

Although she had healed his external wounds, Ye Liang's internal organs were damaged! Unless a massive amount of Chakra was infused into him, there was no chance at all.

Honestly, if not for Rin Nohara's tireless treatment day and night, Ye Liang would have died long ago!

Konoha's Medical Ninjas had already given up treating Ye Liang on the second day.

"I believe in him. He defeated even such powerful enemies! How could he die so easily?" Mei Terumi was also there. She watched Ye Liang with concern, while Kushina, sitting by the bed, was so anxious she was about to cry.

"Mom! Dad will be okay, right?" Naruto asked worriedly from her arms.

Hearing his words, everyone looked over, but no one felt jealous of what the child called him. After all, they were all extremely worried about Ye Liang.

"He'll be fine. Your father is just sleeping a little longer. He'll wake up soon." Kushina comforted Naruto with a face full of worry.

In truth, she was incredibly concerned too!

If outsiders from the Hidden Leaf Village knew that four goddesses known to everyone were squeezed into such a tiny room, their hearts would probably explode from jealousy!

At that moment, Rin Nohara, who was treating him, suddenly revealed a delighted expression.

"Teacher Ye Liang's injuries are starting to heal!"

As a Medical Ninja, she could clearly sense Ye Liang's internal organs beginning to heal. His heart, which had been knocked out of position, was slowly returning to its original place beneath the wrap of yellow Chakra!

"Really?"

Everyone immediately cried out in delight.

At that moment.

Ye Liang's eyes suddenly snapped open.

There were no pupils, only a sea of crimson!

"Hahaha! That idiot Ye Liang, I've finally gotten out!" He laughed maniacally, his face twisted. He no longer had Ye Liang's original gentle and refined expression!

But at that moment, the awakened "Ye Liang" suddenly heard the system's mechanical prompt in his mind.

"Unknown consciousness detected occupying the host's body. Initiating immediate removal!"

"What the hell is this?"

"Ye Liang" frowned. Just as he was about to drive the "ants" around him away from the bedside, he suddenly felt a violent headache.

He clutched his head tightly, while the red in his eyes slowly returned to its original color.

"Damn it! You're that little sun! What did Ye Liang give you to make you help him like this!"

"No! Don't remove me! I'm willing to return to the mental world!"

"Ah! Ye Liang, you tricked me! You tricked me!" After shouting those words, he finally went still.
