After returning to the orphanage.
Mo Yu first took a quick wash, as if trying to cleanse himself of any lingering bad luck.
The dormitory was empty. The friends who once lived there had all moved out, leaving Mo Yu all alone.
"Once I graduate tomorrow, I'll rent a place outside and not stay in this rundown place anymore."
Now that he had become a Genin, Mo Yu felt confident.
Sitting on the bed, Mo Yu began to assess the gains of the day.
First, the biggest gain was that he had attained the strength of a Genin.
Although Mo Yu's strength was granted through the system, it was not weak.
In addition to possessing chakra at the Genin level, the system had also imparted all knowledge related to being a Genin into his mind.
For example, combat experience.
Mo Yu was able to easily overpower the trio of Arima Seiichi and his friends because of the knowledge and battle experience in his mind.
Also, the substitution technique.
Any ninjutsu gained from the system immediately manifested at its highest power, saving a lot of time that would normally be spent practicing.
This was why, when Mo Yu performed the substitution technique, Arima Seiichi didn't even notice.
In other words, even though Mo Yu had just become a Genin, after absorbing the knowledge in his mind, his combat experience was already comparable to that of veteran Genins who had been through many real battles.
As for the mastery of ninjutsu, there was no comparison.
He had achieved 100% proficiency and had perfectly mastered the basic E-rank techniques.
Once he graduated tomorrow, he would officially be a true Genin.
Now, let's get back to the main topic.
Mo Yu's second gain was the activation of the 'Hunt Mode' by the system.
This was incredibly important for him.
Mo Yu had no innate talent for ninjutsu, and he couldn't improve through training alone.
So, from now on, the only way for Mo Yu to increase his strength was through the system's assistance.
Recharge 10 gold coins, and become a Genin.
Recharge 100 gold coins, and he would become a Chuunin.
100 gold coins, converted into real-world currency, were equivalent to 100,000 taels!
Even wealthy families would struggle to gather such a large sum in one go.
Now that Mo Yu was a Genin, once he graduated from school, he could earn commissions by taking on missions.
However, if he wanted to accumulate 100,000 taels by doing things the honest way, it would take too long.
"Luck is necessary for wealth, just like a horse needs night grazing to grow fat."
Mo Yu wanted to quickly gather gold coins, so he had to rely on the Hunt Mode.
Kill enemies, earn gold coins!
Simple and brutal!
For example, killing a semi-Genin like Arima Seiichi gave him 5 gold coins.
If he killed 20 enemies like that, he could easily accumulate 100 gold coins.
"It doesn't seem that hard."
A hint of red flashed in Mo Yu's eyes.
After the Hunt Mode was unlocked, Mo Yu's already somewhat extreme mindset became even more unpredictable.
Now, the third gain.
"System, open the shop."
Mo Yu thought to himself.
With his first-level access, he was now able to exchange some items.
A translucent frame appeared in front of Mo Yu's eyes.
Inside the frame were countless items, too many to count.
At the sight of all these, Mo Yu's head spun.
It would be hard to pick something useful from all this.
This was when the advantage of being a transmigrator showed.
"System, I want to exchange for the Sharingan."
Mo Yu said.
There was no fan of Naruto who didn't dream of having the Sharingan.
The Sharingan was the most iconic symbol of the Naruto world.
Once Mo Yu spoke, information about the Sharingan appeared in front of him.
"Sharingan (Three Tomoe): 1000 gold coins!"
Mo Yu's face immediately darkened.
1000 gold coins? Even if he skinned himself, it wouldn't be enough!
Although he had suspected the Sharingan would be expensive, he never expected it to be this costly.
"Wait, can I exchange for the Sharingan in separate stages?"
Mo Yu suddenly asked.
This was hinted at by the system's note, "Three Tomoe" after Sharingan.
If there were a Three Tomoe, there should also be a Two Tomoe and a One Tomoe, right?
The system responded: "Yes."
Mo Yu's eyes shifted again.
"Sharingan (Two Tomoe): 500 gold coins."
"Sharingan (One Tomoe): 100 gold coins."
Mo Yu's mouth twitched.
Even the cheapest One Tomoe was still unaffordable for him, a "poor guy."
"Money, I need money!"
Mo Yu screamed inwardly.
"Wait, maybe I can do this."
Suddenly, Mo Yu thought of something and said:
"System, I want to exchange for a portion of the Uchiha clan's bloodline. Will I be able to activate the Sharingan myself?"
The system was silent for a moment, probably surprised by Mo Yu's creative thinking. Then it spoke:
"Yes, a portion of the Uchiha bloodline can be exchanged for 10 gold coins, but it does not guarantee the host will be able to activate the Sharingan successfully."
The system made it clear: it could give him the bloodline, but whether he could open the eyes or not was up to him.
"That's fine."
Mo Yu clapped his hands and couldn't help but laugh.
"Also, I want to exchange for an item that can mildly stimulate the mind. Do you have anything like that in the shop?"
Mo Yu asked tentatively.
As soon as he finished speaking, something new appeared before him.
"Hell of Blade Mountain (3-day experience): 1 gold coin."
Mo Yu laughed even harder, the corners of his mouth nearly reaching his ears.
He hadn't expected that it would work this way. It was much more convenient than searching for individual items in the shop.
Mo Yu's mind immediately began to race, running at full speed.
He started to plan how to make the most of his limited gold coins to maximize his improvements.
