Are You Going? Karin Is Treating

After Uzumaki Shixia summoned the sickly Three-Tails, Pain handed over the check he had prepared long ago.

With this check, Uzumaki Shixia could go to the money house and withdraw ten million ryō!

[Commission mission completed!]

[Employer: Akatsuki]

[Task objective: Capture a Tailed Beast.]

[Task reward: 10 million ryō]

[Task rank: S-Rank]

[Task reward: 10,000 commission points]

The bounty for capturing a Tailed Beast was extremely high, and the rewarded commission points were also massive. He was taking off once again!

Nagato could not help but marvel once more at Uzumaki Shixia's ability.

According to his conception, capturing Tailed Beasts was a long process that required long-term preparation.

Yet he never expected that Uzumaki Shixia would capture a Tailed Beast so quickly!

During this process, Uzumaki Shixia's terrifying combat strength, which rivaled a Kage, and his incredible intelligence-gathering ability both astonished Nagato.

Uzumaki Shixia's intelligence-gathering ability alone was simply stronger than the entire Akatsuki!

Nagato pondered for a moment in his heart, then controlled the Deva Path of Pain to continue communicating with Shixia.

"Do you know any intelligence on other Tailed Beasts?"

"Preferably stray Tailed Beasts like the Three-Tails."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared on Shixia's face.

"A stray Tailed Beast?"

"Hmm... it seems there aren't any."

After pondering for quite a while, Shixia's eyes suddenly lit up as he spoke.

"If my intelligence is correct, there seems to be a Tailed Beast over in Takigakure as well."

Just as Shixia was about to elaborate in detail.

A distorted vortex ripple appeared.

The next moment, a mysterious person wearing a tiger-skin mask used space-time ninjutsu and walked out.

As for Akatsuki, apart from Shixia, currently no one should know the true identity of the masked man.

Even Nagato thought the masked man was Madara Uchiha.

Yet Shixia was crystal clear about Runtu behind the mask.

If Tuzige had been promising in his youth and lacked low self-esteem, able to use Susanoo and dual Kamui, his life wouldn't have been a tragedy.

Pity there were no ifs, and right now Obito's remaining Sharingan was still with Kakashi, so he could forget about dual Kamui and couldn't open Susanoo either.

When Pain saw "Madara Uchiha" appear, he said to Shixia.

"You should step back for now!"

"We'll discuss anything else later."

Hearing this, Shixia naturally could not help but internally roast him endlessly.

Nagato's body was already crippled, yet Obito still wanted to talk his ideology into being crippled too.

It was simply too evil!

The figures of Pain and Obito soon vanished amidst a swirling vortex ripple.

"You guys have captured a Tailed Beast already?"

Obito's voice carried a hint of surprise and doubt.

According to his thinking, the plan to capture Tailed Beasts should require another two or three years of serious preparation before it could begin.

Pain stated truthfully: "The new recruit the organization just took in, Uzumaki Shixia, has extremely outstanding abilities!"

"Not only does he possess Kage Level strength himself, but he also has an incredible intelligence network."

Obito spoke with a slight trace of surprise: "An incredible intelligence network?"

Pain nodded slightly: "Yes, even before joining Akatsuki, he had the intelligence of Akatsuki at his fingertips."

"Furthermore, he knows the deepest secrets of all the major shinobi villages like the back of his hand."

"The Three-Tails was in a large lake in Kirigakure and in a wild state."

"This crucial intelligence was also provided by him."

"Afterwards, he even successfully captured the Three-Tails almost single-handedly."

When Obito heard this news, the face beneath his mask involuntarily opened wide in astonishment.

It was just a pity that, blocked by the mask, Pain could not see his expression.

On the other side, Shixia had already brought Karin back to their residence.

He was in no rush to execute missions, but instead prepared to have a good draw session.

His commission points had accumulated to 130,912; he had to pull something good out no matter what, right?

Shixia opened the system: "Give me ten ten-draws first!"

[Deducted 10,000 commission points from the host! Remaining commission points: 120,912.]

[Drawing...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining...]

[Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags scroll x1]

"Sigh..."

"Konan trap?"

[Ichiraku Ramen x10]

"Naruto trap?"

[Three-Color Dango x20]

"Unbelievable!"

"This time the Uchiha Itachi trap has been unlocked!"

Itachi liked eating sweets very much, especially this kind of three-color dango, though it seemed not many people knew that.

Of course, Itachi's true trap should be his "foolish little brother."

Ten ten-draws actually didn't yield anything good?

Seeing that he had opened a bunch of food, Shixia was, for a moment, unable to laugh or cry.

He obtained 51 portions of food, 31 ninja tools, 13 daily necessities, and a few harmless trash ninjutsu.

This hundred-draw undoubtedly failed to yield anything good.

When seeing this scene, Shixia was not annoyed at all.

According to his experience of wandering the Shinobi World for a long time, this wave was definitely accumulating character.

With the foreshadowing of this hundred-draw, the next hundred-draw was bound to drop goods!

"Again!"

[Deducted 10,000 commission points from the host! Remaining commission points: 110,912.]

[Drawing...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining...]

[World Affinity Level +1]

"Whoa! The first one dropped goods!"

[Current World Affinity (Shinobi World): SS-Rank]

[New ability unlocked: Sage Body]

Then Shixia discovered that at this very moment, his entire body had a very wondrous sensation.

Every single cell in his body began to evolve from this moment on, undergoing continuous updates and iterations.

As time passed, his body was transforming into a sage body.

He suddenly felt that his perception of chakra and natural energy was becoming increasingly clear and sharp.

Not only that, a vitality so vigorous it was unbelievable continued to flow endlessly through all his limbs and bones.

In Shixia's eyes, a rich look of pleasant surprise welled up!

The power of his ninjutsu, his Wood Release ability, and his total chakra volume had all been enhanced at this moment!

Yet he was also a bit surprised.

First Wood Release, then senjutsu, and now directly granting a Sage Body?

Was he developing in the direction of Hashirama Senju??

When Shixia came back to his senses, he found that the draws had already finished.

Shixia couldn't be bothered to look at what else came out; he would just look at everything together after finishing the draws.

"Continue drawing!"

Just as Shixia was preparing to continue drawing, he noticed a prompt pop up on the draw interface.

[Basic Draw count has reached 1,000, meeting the upgrade conditions. The prize pool level will be upgraded. Will you upgrade?]

It could even be upgraded?

Uzumaki Shixia rubbed his chin.

Indeed, right now most things from the basic draw were of no use to him.

Then upgrade it was.

[Deducted 100,000 commission points from the host! Remaining commission points: 10,912.]

[Upgrade in progress... Remaining time: 72 hours.]

How much?

100,000 points?

He had worked so bitterly hard to farm for so long.

100 ten-draws!

Just deducted like that?

Shixia almost failed to catch his breath.

He forcefully stroked his chest and smoothed things over.

"Don't get angry! Don't get angry!"

He still had two chances at a Super Draw that he could use.

[Super reward draw in progress...]

[Congratulations to the host, won an SSS-Rank reward, a pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!]

"Tch!"

Damn it! It's getting more and more scammy! Refund!

Upon seeing the reward drawn this time, Shixia felt a bit dismissive!

If he could have drawn this thing right at the beginning, he would have been quite happy.

To the current Shixia, a mere pair of Eternal Mangekyō felt somewhat unworthy of the SSS-Rank reward tier.

It was questionable whether the strength of Susanoo could even compare to his physical body now, and he felt it might be worse than doing it himself.

Moreover, this didn't even state what kind of abilities it had.

One of the most heaven-defying aspects of the Sharingan should be that when they evolve into the Mangekyō, all sorts of unfathomable abilities might appear.

Namely, the gap in strength was extremely obvious.

For example, Amaterasu, which had never burned anyone to death.

- Hailed from its introduction to its end as being unable to be extinguished until it burned someone to death. - Looking at its battle record: 0 casualties. - The burden was also freakishly huge, causing bleeding every time it was used.

Of course, there were also heaven-defying abilities like Kamui, which allowed teleportation and intangibility.

The one-eyed dragon Obito relied on a single trick of intangibility to flex through more than half of Naruto.

The strength was quite heaven-defying.

Shixia shook his head, expressing deep disdain for most Eternal Mangekyō.

Not even worth a fraction of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

"Little System Bro, keep going for your old man!"

"Bring out some good goods!"

[Super reward draw in progress...]

[Congratulations to the host, won an SSSS-Rank reward, Kāma (Pure Version)!]

"Holy crap! Is that the thing I was thinking of?"

"Directly dropping a tattoo?"

"This thing is in the same pool as the Eternal Mangekyō?"

Shixia decisively checked the panel.

[Name: Kāma (Pure Version)]

[Description: SSSS-Rank! Exclusive ability of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. With this ability, one can persist near-eternally! As the ability is developed, it will gradually transform the host's body into the Ōtsutsuki Clan.]

[Development Degree: D-Rank]

[Currently Unlocked Abilities]

[Hosing and Reincarnation: Compresses oneself into digitalized form as a "Kāma" and imprints it into another's body; when the Kāma completely thaws, resurrects via reincarnation!]

[Absorption: Completely absorbs ninjutsu of the chakra-condensation type, converting them into chakra stored within the user's body!]

[Self-Healing: Automatically restores the injured body without needing to launch ninjutsu!]

[Space-Time Transportation: Summons a black-red circular portal resembling a black hole beside oneself, allowing free travel through different spaces!]

Oh, man!

Was this going to take him straight into the realm of the Sage of Six Paths?

Sixia used it without hesitation.

A diamond-shaped mark appeared on his palm!

Karin, who had been following behind him, suddenly leaned closer. "Huh? Sixia, when did you get a tattoo?"

"???"

Sixia suddenly figured out what to do with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

In the Shinobi World, improving his strength should always come first until he possessed absolutely invincible power.

His thoughtful little assistant, Karin, was still a burden at this point.

Since he had an extra pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan...

He might as well give them to her so she could defend herself.

"Karin, I've got something good for you."

Hearing that, Karin's cute little face lit up with anticipation.

She was curious about what Sixia was going to give her.

Sixia told Karin, "Close your eyes."

Karin obediently closed her eyes, her cheeks flushed as she eagerly wondered what Sixia would bring out for her.

Once Karin obediently shut her eyes, Sixia placed two fingers against her forehead, just as Itachi had done when transferring ocular power to his little brother.

Then he selected the two Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in the System Space.

"Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, activate!"

Karin's body trembled slightly.

She felt two streams of wondrous chakra flowing into her eyes, making them undergo an incredible evolution.

In that instant, even her strength seemed to be growing exponentially.

"What is this? I feel like I have more chakra now? And my eyes..."

Sixia's lips curled upward. "Heh! This is a real treasure! The Uchiha Clan's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Karin's eyes widened!

Traveling far and wide with Sixia and Kakuzu lately had taught Karin quite a lot.

She knew just how precious this gift was in the Shinobi World.

Karin looked at Sixia, her eyes reddening.

Aside from her mother, Sixia was the second person in this world willing to treat her kindly and take care of her.

She didn't know how she could repay him.

Although she occasionally got a little sulky with Sixia, throughout her time at his side, she had actually been trying hard to do everything she could for him.

But Karin understood that no matter how much she did, she still couldn't call herself "useful."

At least, she didn't think she was much use yet. She could even say she hadn't been any help at all.

Especially with the gift Sixia had given her this time, she could never repay him in her lifetime.

It left her feeling small and helpless.

"Uh... why are you crying?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Sixia looked at the little red-haired girl before him, his face filled with confusion.

Normally, items produced by the system posed no safety risks whatsoever.

Besides, judging by Karin's expression, she wasn't feeling unwell. She was crying for some other reason.

Rather than answering Sixia's questions, Karin threw herself into his arms and spoke through her sobs.

"Sixia, I don't know what I should do to become useful. Waaaah..."

The little pearls in Karin's eyes spilled down like beads from a broken string.

Sixia had thought something was wrong, but this was why she was crying.

He immediately patted Karin's little head and comforted her. "It's all right. I'll help you get familiar with these Sharingan over the next little while and see what abilities they have."

"Once you're stronger, just help me carry out all kinds of commission missions."

Karin looked at Sixia earnestly. "Sixia, it seems like a lot has changed in Amegakure lately. Why don't we go take a look together? I'll treat you to something to eat!"

Sixia thought it over briefly, then agreed.

"Sure. We've been doing missions all over the place lately. It really has been a long time since I had a proper look around the village."

"Come on, let's go take a look together."

Taking Karin by the hand, Sixia went to the door of Kakuzu's room.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

When the knocking rang out, Kakuzu couldn't help curling his lips into a cold smirk!

Hehehe!

Uzumaki Shixia, you finally let your guard down!

This time, he had gone straight into rest mode as soon as they returned!

Sixia was only coming to knock now. Kakuzu had long since finished resting and recharging, and he could grind through several more days of missions with Sixia.

Hmph, I bet you haven't rested yet!

You're definitely losing this time!

Creeeak-

Before Sixia could kick the door in, Kakuzu opened it with an utterly cocky air.

He said coolly, "Mission details."

If Sixia had come to see him now, he undoubtedly wanted them to go on a mission together, so Kakuzu could simply ask for the details.

Hearing Kakuzu's words, Sixia couldn't help sighing, his tone full of regret.

"Kakuzu, don't you know that doing missions requires a balance between work and rest? You need to know when to push and when to ease off."

"Why are you thinking about missions every waking moment?"

"You can't keep this up. You might be fine with your five hearts, but Karin and I can't take it."

Kakuzu: "???"

All five of Kakuzu's hearts trembled at Sixia's words.

If he could beat Sixia, he would have already started throwing punches!

Sixia was actually turning the blame back on him!

Was he the one who didn't want to rest?

Sixia was like a perpetual motion machine! Once he started doing missions, he worked nonstop without taking a single break!

Kakuzu took a deep breath, then asked in confusion, "If we're not doing a mission, what do you want with me?"

Sixia spread his hands. "We're going out for a stroll. Want to come? Karin's treating."

Kakuzu suddenly lost all enthusiasm, looking utterly dead inside. "You two go. I'm tired..."

Sixia's face filled with confusion. "Didn't you just finish resting?"

Kakuzu: "Get lost!"
