Chapter 06: The Blood-Spitting Masterpiece Book (3rd Update, seeking fresh flowers and collections)
"My destiny." On the streets of Konoha, Tengen walked unceasingly in one direction.
It was precisely because Tengen, through the Player System map, knew that another signal fragment was available for reception, so he naturally came out.
Although that reaction was also just a Normal Signal reaction.
However, having obtained an Elite Genin Experience Pack from a Normal fragment yesterday, Tengen was very much looking forward to getting something good from this one.
"It's just that it seems to be on the edge of Konoha," Tengen muttered as he walked. With the strength of an Elite Genin, his walking speed was naturally very fast.
His Chakra control had reached a high level.
Because of this extraction ability, he could directly reach a stage of complete familiarity without needing to understand it step by step.
"This seems to be the secret gathering place of the Uchiha Clan." Tengen looked at the sky not far away. There was a fan symbol carved above. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the Naka Shrine. In the basement here, there was the stone monument left by the Sage of Six Paths.
"Unfortunately, it's not inside the Naka Shrine, otherwise I would have to give up." Tengen sensed the signal was a few meters away from the main gate, not inside the Naka Shrine. Otherwise, Tengen wouldn't dare to enter like this; there were Uchiha guards here.
If he rashly went in and got killed, Tengen wouldn't even have a place to cry, even though his current strength could contend with an ordinary Chūnin.
But obviously, there would definitely be Uchiha Jōnin here.
Tengen calmed his mood, then pretended to be a lost child, looking around in all directions. This made the expressions of the Uchiha clansmen inside the Naka Shrine condense, but upon seeing it was a child, they relaxed.
Tengen didn't touch their nerves either. He stopped not far from the Naka Shrine and felt the signal being continuously received.
This made Tengen breathe a sigh of relief.
Time tick-tocked by. Tengen looked at the Player indicating reception was complete and breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally leave.
The pressure here was huge.
"Little friend, what are you doing here?" A faint voice came.
Tengen turned his head and saw many ninjas wearing Uchiha attire behind him. It seemed they were about to enter the Naka Shrine, and then they saw Tengen.
"Um, I am a person lost on the journey of life," Tengen said quickly.
This stunned the man in the lead. Lost on the journey of life? Then he shook his head and said, "You just got lost, right? Shisui, go send this little friend back. He should be a Konoha ninja. Then hurry back, okay?"
"Yes, Clan Head." The young man named Shisui nodded.
"Little guy," Shisui said to Tengen.
"My name is Tengen," Tengen said quickly.
"Okay, Tengen. Where do you live? I'll take you back," Shisui said.
"That's too much trouble, Lord Shisui," Tengen said, acting cute.
"It's fine." Shisui Uchiha took Tengen and left. "Also, just call me Big Brother Shisui."
"Big Brother Shisui." Fine, Tengen was used to acting cute now.
Watching Tengen and Shisui leave, the man in the lead looked at the Naka Shrine and waved his hand. "Let's go in."
"Yes, Clan Head." The Uchiha clansmen behind him followed closely.
In a bustling area of Konoha.
"Big Brother Shisui, just drop me here. This is close to the Ninja Academy," Tengen said quickly.
"Okay, then I'll go first." Shisui Uchiha nodded. His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
"Such fast speed." Tengen's pupils shrank slightly. Even with his current Elite Genin strength, he realized that the current Shisui possessed at least Chūnin level strength.
"Anyway, let's see what video this ordinary fragment contains." Tengen thought, his heart itching. He quickly looked around, found a dead-end alley where no one was present.
Then Tengen looked at the video. At that moment, Tengen felt like coughing up old blood. The video was titled "Censored Normal Video".
"Holy sh*t, this System has no dignity left." Tengen raised a middle finger to express his contempt for the System. To think it could receive such a modern censored video.
"Host, signal reception can include any video. Sometimes, such videos might also have good things," the System responded.
"Good things in something this modern?" Tengen expressed doubt. He felt like vomiting at this kind of film. The main issue was who the female lead was; the thing wasn't clear, it was very blurry.
"Forget it, let's extract and see." Tengen was helpless. He didn't want to waste this item. Keeping such a video in the Player would be a pain in the ass.
"Ding, extraction successful. Obtained a set of Boutique Books." A voice rang in Tengen's ear. Then, a wisp of white light flashed before him, and over a dozen thick modern books appeared in front of Tengen.
"Hmm." Tengen looked at the covers of these books, his eyes dull. "Really a set of Elite Books."
Tengen picked up a few to look at and couldn't believe it. "These are clearly a set of erotic books. Boutique books? They are full-color erotic books!"
"System, come out! I want a real-life PK with you!" Tengen roared.
"Extracted items depend on character luck," the System said faintly.
"Damn it, is my character luck really that bad?" At this moment, Tengen really wanted a duel with the System, if the System had a physical body.
"Tengen, I found you!" A loud laugh came. A figure descended rapidly from the sky and landed on the ground. The powerful wind pressure made Tengen's hair dance.
"Pervy Sage." Tengen felt like he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River, because Jiraiya's gaze was fixed on Tengen's feet—on those dozen books. The light in his eyes was incredibly bright.
Like a tiger seeing prey, he pounced directly, grabbed one, and flipped through it. "Top quality! Truly top quality! To think such things exist. Tengen, where did you get these? We are indeed fellow enthusiasts; Big Brother didn't misjudge you."
"So, lend these to Big Brother to read first." Jiraiya grabbed with both hands, took all the books, and his figure quickly dissipated in front of Tengen.
"Tengen, don't worry, I'll return them to you."
"Pervy Sage, excessive wanking harms the body!" Tengen greeted him very naturally.
This made Jiraiya leave even faster.
"Forget it. I'm so small, reading them is useless anyway. Let's go back to the Ninja Academy." Tengen shook his head.
Now he believed it. As expected of a normal chest; good things were indeed rare.
