He looked at Anko's heaving chest, a strange sensation stirring deep within him. And that waist—so slim and soft... Ye Liang instinctively reached out and ran his hand along it. So damn smooth.
All along, Ye Liang had treated Anko like a little kid. He felt absolutely no pressure sleeping in her bed. But now Anko was fifteen—a grown young woman!
"Have I been overstepping by always crashing on her bed?"
Seeing Anko flee blushing, Ye Liang muttered to himself.
He finally realized it!
Man, what a degenerate life am I leading?!
...
It wasn't until afternoon.
Anko still hadn't returned. Having used his Honored Guest privileges to enjoy a free lunch, Ye Liang happily went back to his own room.
3!
2!
1!
After a slow countdown, Ye Liang finally witnessed the moment he'd been waiting for!
The system upgraded!
Dingdong!
A ringing sound echoed in Ye Liang's mind. Then, in a flash, a virtual interface appeared before him!
"This is the system dashboard?"
He became ecstatic with joy!
Previously, the system only occasionally gave mission hints within his mind. Other than that, there had been absolutely nothing. But now—it was completely different!
Ye Liang clearly saw countless new functions appearing on this panel!
"The Quest System?"
Instinctively, Ye Liang tapped one of the many panels displayed.
Beep!
After a small prompt tone, the virtual interface popped up a brand-new screen.
Three options appeared! Main Quests, Subquests, and Daily Missions!
"Were these the ones I completed earlier?"
He opened each category respectively and immediately understood.
Inside the Main Quests were two grayed-out tasks: Save Anko, and Tailed Beast Attack on the Village!
These were the two missions that had granted him S-ranked ninjutsu techniques.
They were gray now—meaning they had already been completed. The following main quests showed up as three question marks, probably not yet triggered.
The Subquest section in the middle related to the Kannabi Bridge incident, offering slightly lesser rewards—but also grayed out.
As for the Daily Missions, those were just random scattered tasks.
Like the very first spectator mission!
Although it granted him an Enhanced Shifting Body Technique, that was only because Ye Liang had watched so intensely and unknowingly achieved satori, which upgraded the mission's reward quality.
Other daily tasks included stuff like catching runaway cats or cleaning Orochimaru's teeth—absolutely random things with mostly useless rewards.
But precisely because of this, Ye Liang's low-tier ninjutsu ended up significantly stronger than that of an average ninja.
Repeatedly completing similar tasks increased the previous rewards' quality!
He tapped the 'Back' button.
Beside the quest system, three other systems were also visible on the interface.
Dashboard, Kanka (Cash Eye), and Storage.
Ye Liang clicked Dashboard open.
The Dashboard displayed his current attributes, divided into three categories: Ninjutsu, Ninja Tools, and Taijutsu.
Ninjutsu Level 5!
Taijutsu Level 2!
Ninja Tools Level 1!
Ye Liang was clearly biased toward certain skills...
He wasn't sure exactly how this level calculation worked, but he clearly knew his proficiency in using ninja tools should actually be at Jonin-level standard! Meaning even Jonin-standard tool usage was considered merely the lowest threshold according to the system.
"Just how powerful must the highest level be?"
Ye Liang felt puzzled. After all, expert users of ninja tools were extremely rare in the Naruto world!
The only ones he could recall were those from Tenten's school of technique and the Uchiha clan, both of whom were renowned for their mastery of ninja tools, although he wasn't sure just how advanced they truly were.
"Oh well, whatever."
Ye Liang shook his head and reopened the Kanka (Cash Eye) System.
His vision suddenly became clear, as if his eyesight had improved dramatically!
"That's it?"
Ye Liang felt a bit confused; apparently, aside from his vision getting better, nothing else had happened.
Suddenly,
Anko, who had been missing for a while, burst through the door. Without even acknowledging Ye Liang, she quickly grabbed the ninja tool pouch off the table and rushed out!
"It looks like she's off on a mission," Ye Liang immediately figured it out.
It was common for Anko to forget things before missions; he had long gotten used to it.
He tapped 'Back' again.
At this point, Ye Liang roughly understood how the Kanka System worked.
Just as Anko had entered the room, Ye Liang suddenly saw a red dashboard pop up in front of her!
Anko, female, C cup.
Affection Level: 99!
Ninjutsu: Level 1!
Taijutsu: Level 0!
Ninja Tools: Level 0!
This must be Anko's basic stats.
Ye Liang wasn't quite sure about the "C cup" part—probably just a system glitch—but he instantly grasped Anko's data.
In other words, aside from Ninjutsu at Level 1, everything else was at Level 0!
That was pretty weak.
However, Ye Liang instantly understood what "Level 1" meant.
It meant the level of an average Jonin.
Thinking about it, his own use of ninja tools was at Jonin-level thanks only to the System's gift—he had indeed never trained in it personally.
"But why is the Ninjutsu already at Level 1? Could it mean Anko's Ninjutsu has reached Jonin level?" Ye Liang felt puzzled. Shouldn't Anko still be a Genin at this point?
Perhaps it was because of the Cursed Seal of Earth.
Better not think too much into it.
Finally, he opened the Storage System.
Inside were countless neatly arranged storage compartments, but they were all completely empty.
"How am I supposed to put things in here?"
Ye Liang casually picked up a pillow behind him and threw it toward the dashboard.
*Pak!*
The pillow passed right through the panel and landed on the floor.
"So the dashboard can't interact with physical objects?"
Ye Liang figured out the issue but remained puzzled—if the panel couldn't touch solid objects, how was he supposed to store anything?
He made a rough guess.
"I'll bet this has something to do with mental focus or something like that."
Ye Liang suddenly recalled novels he had read in his past life. In most of them, protagonists had similar storage devices, and the way to use them was simply holding the item and focusing one's mind.
Followed suit!
Ye Liang picked up the pillow again. This time, he didn't throw it—he concentrated and mentally said, [Store!]
*Swoosh!*
The pillow actually vanished!
Then he thought, [Retrieve!]
The previously vanished pillow reappeared in his hand.
"Thought so!" Ye Liang grew excited.
[Store!]
[Retrieve!]
[Store!]
[Retrieve!]
The entire afternoon was spent by Ye Liang experimenting and playing around.
By evening, he finally fully understood the full functionality of the storage system.
The system could only store heavy objects no larger than five meters.
If it exceeds this volume, the bag cannot store it anymore, and living people cannot be stored either.
What Ye Liang was thinking was whether he could store a few beautiful older girls into his bag.
To test his theory, he went so far as to grab a passing pretty girl and tried it over and over—unfortunately, all he got in return was a slap.
From that, Ye Liang finally understood everything.
There were still many other functions in the System; he didn't continue exploring them because they were all marked with question marks—it seemed they hadn't been unlocked yet.
Nighttime.
Under Anko's cold mockery, Ye Liang sneaked under her blanket again!
"Anko, how old are you?"
"Fifteen. What about it?"
"I'm not asking about that—I meant how big are you?"
"What do you mean, 'how big'?"
"Her size... Are you by any chance a C-cup?"
"…"
That night, Ye Liang was kicked off the bed once again!
