[Ding! Detected host using magic to defeat magic, using Kakashi to strike Hatake Sakumo, special reward: One Thousand Years of Death power increased by 10%. Note: When power increase reaches 40%, a new trait will be activated!]
[Ding! Detected host successfully led Kakashi astray, while simultaneously striking Hatake Sakumo again, special reward: One Thousand Years of Death power increased by 10%. Note: When power increase reaches 40%, a new trait will be activated!]
[Ding! Detected host's One Thousand Years of Death power increased to 41%, activating new trait! Trait is: Elemental Enchantment!]
[Ding! Detected host has a great love for Fire Release, using it the most, so this Elemental Enchantment is Fire Attribute. The victim will feel the pain of a burning soul!]
Gekko Chizan listened to the series of prompts in his mind, feeling a bit dazed.
Good heavens, these rewards are a bit much.
Although it only improved the One Thousand Years of Death technique, One Thousand Years of Death was a technique he loved dearly.
He had always been working hard to improve the One Thousand Years of Death.
But he had actually forgotten the most important factor: he didn't need to go to great lengths to grind the usage count of One Thousand Years of Death; he could simply target the creator of the One Thousand Years of Death right in front of him.
Look at him—he clearly didn't do anything, yet this series of rewards almost made him die of laughter.
At this moment, the look in his eyes as he looked at Hatake Sakumo was filled with excitement.
Hatake Sakumo felt the excitement and heat in Gekko Chizan's gaze and was completely dumbfounded.
His CPU was fried; he couldn't figure out why Gekko Chizan was behaving this way.
Could it be that the letter left by Kakashi had some hidden content?
That couldn't be; he was the White Fang of Konoha. If Kakashi had used a code, he would have seen it at a glance.
If he couldn't even understand a kid's letter, then hadn't he lived in vain all these years?
"Hehehe, it's nothing, don't worry about it."
"Isn't it just providing a meal?"
"This is simple. Would Pakura and I let you go hungry?"
"Our relationship, it's as solid as it gets. Don't you agree, Sakumo-san... heitui! Uncle!"
"Let's go, have you eaten? If not, I'll go back and cook for you!"
Gekko Chizan's sudden change left Hatake Sakumo completely dumbfounded.
He didn't understand. He didn't get it. Was it really this difficult?
Wasn't it just a letter? How could there be such a huge secret? This wasn't right!
But Gekko Chizan didn't give him a chance; he just smiled, grabbed him, and walked out.
Although he wasn't hungry, treating Hatake Sakumo to a meal was still acceptable.
"What do you want to eat? Do you want to eat ramen?"
"Ichiraku Ramen is delicious, you know!"
Regardless of whether Hatake Sakumo agreed or not, Gekko Chizan dragged him towards Ichiraku Ramen.
Speaking of Ichiraku Ramen, this was a legendary ramen shop.
It was just an ordinary snack shop, yet it practically permeated the entire Konoha. The Ichiraku Uncle in the original work was shrouded in mystery; the title "Otsutsuki Ichiraku" wasn't for show.
"..."
"Hey, come serve us."
"Today I'm treating him to dinner. Give us the most luxurious set!"
Gekko Chizan was very generous; he ordered the most luxurious ramen right off the bat.
Teuchi nodded with a smile and began his cooking.
Soon, a super luxurious bowl of ramen was served, full of meat, looking super appetizing.
Hatake Sakumo looked at the ramen in front of him and couldn't help but frown.
He completely couldn't read what Gekko Chizan was trying to do.
But he was indeed hungry. First, he glanced at Gekko Chizan, then he raised his vigilance to eighteen points!
The original twelve points of vigilance weren't enough; he forcibly added another six points for himself!
Because he knew Gekko Chizan's character very well.
"Hehehehe..."
However, Gekko Chizan didn't trip him up. Instead, he watched Hatake Sakumo eat noodles with a smile.
He really didn't plan to play a trick this time. After all, he was someone who knew gratitude.
"Does it taste good?"
"Do you want some chili?"
Hatake Sakumo heard Gekko Chizan's words and was momentarily stunned, but it was true that eating noodles without spice reduced the flavor by half.
Moreover, he had eaten at this ramen shop before and had the chili too; there shouldn't be any problem.
Unfortunately, he didn't see the smirk hidden deep in Gekko Chizan's eyes at all.
Not playing tricks? What was he thinking? He was Gekko Chizan.
The chili was indeed Ichiraku Ramen's chili, but inside the chili, it wasn't just chili anymore.
Gekko Chizan had set an ambush long ago. Inside Ichiraku Ramen's chili, he had put a large amount of capsaicin.
As for where this capsaicin came from, tsk tsk, that brings up the recipes he obtained earlier.
It recorded a large number of ways to make chili.
Just a moment ago, he very secretly used a small snake to put the capsaicin he had prepared earlier into Ichiraku Ramen's chili jar.
He was just waiting for Hatake Sakumo to eat it.
Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a moment but eventually picked up the chili jar and sprinkled quite a bit into the noodles. After stirring evenly, he picked up a large mouthful of noodles and sent it into his mouth. He chewed a few times, and his face instantly turned bright red; his throat felt like it was on fire.
"This chili... what is going on?"
Hatake Sakumo said while coughing.
Gekko Chizan pretended to be surprised: "Ah, is there a problem with the chili? I usually eat it and it's fine."
Hatake Sakumo couldn't care less about investigating. He looked around for water to drink, downing cup after cup, but the burning sensation didn't alleviate in the slightest.
At this moment, Gekko Chizan couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing!
Hatake Sakumo's current appearance was just too funny.
His lips were completely red from the spice, and he was still drinking water incessantly.
As the White Fang of Konoha, seeing him like this made the trip truly worth it.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"You haven't forgotten my character, have you?"
"Don't worry, this is a bit of refined capsaicin. It will only make you feel spicy, meaning your mouth will hurt."
"Rest assured, hahaha, I'm heading out first!"
Gekko Chizan gave Hatake Sakumo absolutely no chance to go berserk and directly used the Flying Thunder God to escape.
Leaving Hatake Sakumo still frantically drinking water. He was so spicy he couldn't handle it, and finally, he rushed directly to the back kitchen and turned on the tap to chug water.
"You bastard brat!"
"I won't forgive you!!!"
The furious Hatake Sakumo made a heavy note against Gekko Chizan in his heart. It really wasn't that he didn't want to chase after him right now.
Mainly because it was spicy. He felt like his lips didn't belong to him anymore.
And Gekko Chizan, who had fled, received the system reward he desired as wished.
[Ding!....]
