[Monthly Ticket Supply!]
[Reward: +1 Silver Ticket]
"It's that time of the month again..."
After 5 days of recovery, Yoichi noticed the colder climate as he glanced at the white-powdered fields and laughing children playing in the snow with no worries about the incident.
Throughout this period, Yoichi took his time to recuperate and reflect on himself, a spiritual journey for the well-being of his mental and physical health.
Furthermore, the official statement along with his suggestion was passed with no problems whatsoever.
In this additional proceeding, Yoichi was hailed as an extremely talented child with a good heart for expelling the foreign shinobi and successfully eliminating half of the rogue shinobi who endangered Konoha.
This report was further intensified due to the countless shinobi testifying to the validity of the declaration. Half of them were glad that the child survived the tragedy, the other half were frankly dumbfounded.
But as an outcome, these shinobi as well as the citizens were deeply praising the child, saying that he might be another foundation for the future of Konoha as the best village.
"Are you alright now, Hero?! Ahhh, I feel so envious of your reputation!" On the side, Jiraiya's teasing remarks made Yoichi roll his eyes in disbelief.
"You? A hero? Pffftt, I think you should facilitate your attitude instead of being so lascivious!" Tsunade scoffed, her eyes laced with disdain the moment she saw Jiraiya's covetous expression.
On the other hand, Orochimaru looked at the snow and felt reminiscent, enjoying the silent treatment of the snowy grounds amidst the blaring banter between Jiraiya and Tsunade.
During these past few days, Yoichi was constantly being visited by the three. In this moment of isolation, the camaraderie felt a little bit more comfortable with their presence.
"Alright... Let's talk about business. How's your progress?" Upon hearing Yoichi's comments about the practice, Jiraiya whistled loudly and frequently looked at the ceiling, feeling silly.
"Ahahaha... That..." In contrast, Tsunade giggled awkwardly and felt embarrassed. Even Orochimaru turned his head away from Yoichi's vision.
I think... I shouldn't force them that much. These quirky habits are their trademarks, after all.
"So let me guess... You peep again and forgot to practice at night." Yoichi pointed his finger at Jiraiya until he looked at Tsunade and continued, "I bet you're gambling. Once you lose, you will gamble again to take your losses back, am I right?"
"As for you, I assume you began to research Ninjutsu. Is my guess right?" After he glanced at Orochimaru, Yoichi shook his head and lay down on the mattress, comprehending the goofy situation at hand.
"Don't falsely accuse me! I'm researching for my material and ninjutsu! Do you really think I am that kind of person?" Once they noticed Jiraiya's unbounded shamelessness, the three threw knowing looks at him.
"Hehehe... I'm not losing that much! In fact, I'm very sure that they were cheating behind my back!" Tsunade put her hands on her hips, seemingly exasperated by her numerous losses.
"I'm afraid to admit it, but it is true." Meanwhile, Orochimaru confessed his desire to develop Ninjutsu in his free time.
"You all do not need to explain yourselves. Just don't forget to cultivate them." Yoichi didn't mind this kind of phenomenon at all.
Ever since he came to this world, his mindset has been drastically changed by his past circumstances, the people around him, and the environment within the Amegakure. In honesty, Yoichi felt his character was merely superficial and monotone.
I don't have the authority to criticize their quirky habits... After all, I'm a child with no habits whatsoever.
In Yoichi's mind, his routines have always been training techniques and enjoying the everyday pattern for the rest of the day, making him like a mature and reliable man in a child's body.
"Research my ass! If you peek once more when I'm bathing, I'm going to kill you once and for all! Do. You. Understand?" Tsunade's outrage skyrocketed as her emphasis in her words resonated and grabbed Jiraiya's collar with outrage on her face.
"Why won't you believe me?! I'm just doing it for the sake of research!" Hearing Jiraiya's stubborn remark, Tsunade couldn't resist smacking him continuously for the betterment of the world.
Soon, the deafening voices across the room felt more comfortable than being in the white-covered field and playing snowball fight.

Konoha Year 17, December.
"Are you really sure? Why not have more rest? I think your body could potentially be at risk–" The doctor wanted to vehemently advise the child until...
"I'm totally fine now, doctor. Being here felt a little bit boring for too long. Thanks for your diligent efforts for taking care of me though..."
After 2 days, Yoichi requested to be discharged from the hospital. Now dressed in his casual attire, he walked into the hallway with astonishment and respect from the viewers nearby.
Thanks to the healthy and nutritional food along with proper breaks, Yoichi's physical condition gradually recovered from his serious injuries in over 10 days, a truly mind-boggling feat in the eyes of the public.
"Is that Uchiha Yoichi? This child... He was really interesting to see."
"That child was well-mannered and amicable unlike the rest of the Uchiha!"
"Come to think of it, you're quite right."
Amidst the praises of the people, Yoichi remained apathetic from the inside to the outside. As a man with knowledge of the internet, the public perception could be easily exploited.
Some things wouldn't change just because he transmigrated into this world. These respects and admiration could instantly turn into disdain, hate, or mockery in a split second.
Along with his measured composure, Yoichi slowly paced himself and saw numerous people looking at him but he took his time to feel the radiant warmth of the sun, the chilly breeze of the morning, and the pure blankness of the surrounding snowfields.
Once he arrived at his home, Yoichi opened the door and immediately felt comfortable, relaxing in the kotatsu table. For a while, he took a deep breath and enjoyed his alone time.
From the tension and suspense in his life, he longed for the peaceful time since his path would be a dangerous one. Perhaps this time was the only solace before his entire life turned again just like the wheel of fate.
I'm very lucky at that moment, but what about the next and another?
Soon, Yoichi stood up and sighed until he smeared himself using ointment, beginning to refine the remaining part of his entire body that hadn't been refined for a long time: his head area.
Therefore, the sleeping Qi Blood within him suddenly awakened and smoothly rushed into his scalp, nape as well as his facial skin, searing the whole section in one singular swoop.
As the scalding sensation occurred, the potent medicinal scent of the ointment permeated across the room, exuberantly boiling under his vigorous Qi Blood.
Yoichi gnashed his teeth with blazing persistence in his eyes, enduring the tormenting pain in a scrunched-up countenance.
