Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 White Clothes Purer than Snow

Ryun rubbed the corner of his mouth, which was almost sore from smiling, trying to calm his mood down from the memories.

The Ryun before crossing over naturally had had girlfriends, more than one.

Unfortunately, no girl had ever allowed Ryun to experience an intimate relationship so relaxedly.

The only regret was that this was ultimately just detailed simulation data, not reality.

Ryun looked at the last photo.

Tenten was holding Nojuro Tenten, nestling in Ryun's arms, her face filled with a happy smile.

Ryun subconsciously wanted to open the photo, but after hesitating for a long time, he ultimately chose to give up.

He could at least still see Tenten in reality, but Nojuro Tenten... it was better to just treat her as simulation data.

The process of viewing the simulation details was a process of mental leaps, incredibly fast, so Ryun didn't spend much time.

In the following days, while digesting the simulation details, Ryun did not forget to refine chakra and formulate his subsequent action plan.

After finalizing all the details, Ryun chose to be discharged from the hospital early.

Thanks to the ninja talent and chakra Ryun already possessed, his physical recovery speed had accelerated considerably. In just five days, he could move freely.

Ryun went through the discharge procedures, withdrew the remaining portion of the money Tenten had advanced, which gave Ryun over six thousand ryo in operating funds.

Six thousand ryo was naturally not much for a ninja, but for Ryun, it was enough to live for two months.

However, Ryun directly took out five thousand ryo to buy paper, pens, and a set of new clothes. Then, carrying a large stack of things, he returned to his own home.

When Ryun returned to the street where he lived, the elderly men and women on the street enthusiastically greeted him.

They were ordinary Konoha residents, and also ninjas who were already old and frail. But now, they all shared the same identity. They were Ryun's neighbors.

As an orphan, the reason Ryun could grow up safely, besides Konoha's pension money, naturally owed much to the care of his neighbors.

Along the way, Ryun kept greeting the elderly folks, also accepting their concern and care.

By the time he arrived in front of his own dilapidated small courtyard, it was already noon.

Looking at the wooden gate, crooked and barely standing upright with the help of a straw rope, Ryun gave it a gentle push. The door plank fell backward to the ground.

Although this made the lock seem rather pointless, the Ryun of the past indeed lacked both the financial means and the strength to replace the door hinges.

Fortunately, there was nothing worth stealing in Ryun's home. From small items like pots, bowls, ladles, and basins, to large ones like tables, chairs, and benches, not a single thing was completely intact and without any patches.

When Ryun placed the paper and pens on the table, the incongruity between him and his surroundings became even more pronounced.

However, Ryun was long accustomed to all this. He also knew he would inevitably escape his current predicament. Therefore, he soon immersed himself wholeheartedly into his writing.

This made him completely fail to notice that someone had appeared on the roof at some unknown time.

It was Tenten, who had finished her vacation and was preparing to go on a mission.

Tenten originally intended to secretly check on Ryun's condition, but was surprised to hear that Ryun had already been discharged from the hospital.

Fortunately, the hospital had recorded Ryun's home address, so Tenten was able to find her way here.

Tenten lifted a roof tile, curiously watching Ryun's every move.

With her eyesight, she could easily see the characters Ryun was writing. Soon, she became captivated.

It wasn't until dark that Tenten snapped out of it. She had actually spent the entire afternoon lying on the roof staring at Ryun.

This made her face feel a little warm involuntarily.

Seeing that Ryun had started handling cabbage and radishes to cook a meal, a relaxed Tenten also left silently, planning to put the matter of Ryun completely out of her mind.

After all, she had helped many people. Ryun wasn't anything special besides being a bit handsome.

But what Tenten didn't expect was that she had a long dream that night.

What was in the dream, Tenten couldn't remember when she woke up the next day.

She just vaguely felt that all this seemed to be related to Ryun.

This made Tenten stare blankly at her reflection in the mirror. Could it be that she had really taken Ryun to heart?

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

On Ryun's side, although it was still far from finishing "The Biography of Uchiha Madara," the first volume was already ready to be taken out for others to appreciate.

Not only that, Ryun had also drawn a draft sketch of the first ninja tool he had researched in the simulation, the Fragmentation Kunai.

As the name suggests, the idea for the Fragmentation Kunai comes from fragmentation grenades.

An ordinary kunai only causes damage if it hits an enemy.

When an explosive tag is wrapped around a kunai, although the power increases greatly, the damage radius is still limited.

Ryun's Fragmentation Kunai, through two concepts, built-in explosive tags and specially crafted kunai textures.

Allows this kunai to be used as an ordinary kunai, but at a critical moment, chakra can be injected to detonate it on a timer. The kunai will turn into shrapnel, damaging all enemies within range.

Its lethal kill radius is approximately five meters, while its injury radius is about fifteen meters.

Because the explosive tag is built-in, people unfamiliar with this weapon might miss the best time to dodge.

Furthermore, if the user of the Fragmentation Kunai is willing to use poison, then it's not impossible to kill an unlucky fellow tens of meters away.

Overall, this kunai can quite effectively enhance the combat capabilities of genin and ninjas not skilled in long-range attacks.

When ninjas particularly skilled in using ninja tools, such as ninjas from the Uchiha clan or ninjas like Tenten, pick up this kunai, they can even achieve the effect of one person easily suppressing a group.

This is the reason Ryun was certain Tenten would like it again.

This morning, Ryun meticulously washed up, dressed up, and then changed into the new set of white clothes he had bought.

Although the material wasn't very high-end, Ryun, whose spirit and energy were fuller after having chakra, paired with the white clothes, began to display that image of "white clothes purer than snow."

Ryun's new attire pleasantly surprised his neighbors. Many even jokingly asked Ryun if he had a girlfriend.

Ninjas generally matured early, and some even took pride in establishing a family and career early. So Ryun didn't mind such teasing, responding with a few simple jokes.

Leaving the familiar street, Ryun headed all the way towards the Hokage's office.

Along the way, Ryun still attracted quite a bit of attention, indicating that the current Ryun indeed seemed more charming.

Ryun even saw a familiar figure on the road, but he didn't dare to look too closely, after all, the other party was a ninja-sama.

Upon reaching the destination, Ryun took the civilian passage to the first floor's General Affairs Department and filled out the "Meeting Request Form."

He wanted to meet the Third Hokage directly.
