It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

The shrines of the Uchiha clan also enshrine deities.

"Shisui, why are you so distracted today?" Itachi asked Shisui after killing a spy with a kunai.

"Ah, it's nothing. I was just thinking about some illogical things. Let's continue the mission."

……

Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the "Slacking Off" mission (30/30). Rewards: Telescope, Ninjutsu Mastery Lv.1.

Zhi Xue got up from her slumbering bed, stretched, and thought, "Today's another relaxing day."

Zhi Xue glanced outside, where it was midday, and dragged her shadow clone, who was lazily sleeping, out of bed. She then went outside and bought two bowls of Ichiraku Ramen.

I stayed up too late yesterday and I'm still a bit sleepy. I definitely can't do that again.

After lunch, Zhi Xue immersed herself in the virtual training room again. Since she got this device, she would go in to increase her combat experience whenever she had free time. At the same time, this device could also effectively improve Zhi Xue's ability to deal with various enemies.

Today, Zhixue is preparing to challenge herself with a new AI opponent, as the Jonin can no longer satisfy her desires.

"Wait, human, don't go yet!" Just as Zhi Xue was about to enter the virtual training ground in the pure white space, Little Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly rushed over and hugged Zhi Xue's leg.

What are you doing?

"You haven't fed me yet, the fox will starve to death!" Little Nine-Tailed Fox said to Zhixue with a pitiful expression.

Stop Snow: ...

"No, I have to go to training. I'll give you something to eat when I get back." Zhi Xue ignored the fox's shameful behavior, pulled him off her lap, and rubbed his fair skin with some red scratches.

Ouch, even though it wasn't a physical grab, it still hurts a bit.

Chapter 66, Shadow-Level Human-Machine Interaction

"Earth Escape—Earth Flow Wall!"

A thick earthen wall rose from the ground, and the surging water rushed in front of it, engulfing the world like waves.

This is probably the strongest opponent Zhi Xue has ever encountered, and it's also the first time she's challenged a Shadow-level AI in the virtual training arena.

Tobirama Senju (Young)

Strength: Kage-level

Specializes in: Flying Thunder God Technique, Water Release, and forbidden techniques.

Zhi Xue's Fire Release technique, which she excels at, is difficult to use effectively in this deep, abyss-like water world. Moreover, her Flying Thunder God Technique allows her to appear and disappear unpredictably, making her difficult to detect as she hides among the waves.

A long whirlpool formed on the water's surface, and the immense force it generated pulled Zhixue, who was standing on the flat surface, towards the center of the whirlpool.

"Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth!" Several giant stone slabs at the bottom of the water were struck by a beam of light, and their white light converged to form a small barrier, blocking the surrounding waves and whirlpools.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhi Xue jumped onto the giant stone slab, placed her hand on the stone, and a stone giant more than ten meters tall materialized beneath her feet.

"You evil Uchiha brat, don't even think about succeeding!" Tobirama Senju stood in a water sphere in the distance, his hands quickly forming hand seals. Instantly, several water dragons appeared on his sides, along with several explosive tags.

With a ferocious roar, the water dragon coiled around the stone giant, and terrifying light continuously exploded from its body.

A dazzling light illuminated the arena, which was covered in red light.

A kunai flew towards Zhixue, who was escaping the explosion, but was deflected by the knight's armor.

Tobirama Senju leaped behind Shisei like a streak of blue light and thrust his longsword at her.

Triggering a counter-attack!

Just as the longsword was about to pierce Zhixue's chest, the figure in front of her turned into a golden light and disappeared.

boom!

The spiraling wheel struck Tobirama Senju from behind, the twisted black light almost evaporating all the surrounding moisture.

A crater over 20 meters in diameter was blasted into the ground. Zhi Xue stood in the center, a blood-red glint flashing in her eyes, before her vision suddenly darkened.

Darkness Travel Technique!

Using the Instantaneous Movement Technique, Zhi Xue arrived high in the sky, dodging the attack of two water dragon bullets, her hands forming hand seals as quickly as a blur.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Fireballs rained down from the sky, indiscriminately covering the ravaged earth. Tobirama, who was about to give chase, had no choice but to use a water barrier to defend against them.

"Fortunately, Sage Mode has strong sensory abilities, otherwise I might have been doomed." After landing on the ground, Zhixue conjured a Chakra Blade in her hand and shattered the water clones that attacked from both sides.

However, after the two water clones disappeared, they left two explosive tags on the ground.

A bright white light appeared again. Zhixue took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai, moved closer, and used a parry to get behind Tobirama Senju.

The kunai successfully pierced the enemy's back, but Tobirama, a master of forbidden techniques, also marked Shiseido's arm with the Flying Thunder God seal, which then turned into a flash of blue light and appeared in the blind spot behind Shiseido.

"That inherently evil Uchiha brat, I'll personally..."

"Flying Thunder God..."

Shiyuki countered again, landing behind Tobirama. However, Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God Technique to land behind Shiyuki once more. But Shiyuki, who had been holding down the counter-attack button, landed behind Tobirama again...

The blue and gold lights flickered and danced in the air for nearly half a minute before stopping.

As Tobirama watched Shiseido's chakra nearly depleted, a dangerous smile crept onto his panting lips.

I didn't expect this Uchiha brat to be so strong, but if he runs out of chakra, this battle should be over.

"Water Release - Water Severing Wave!"

Tobirama Senju formed hand seals, and a high-pressure water jet shot out from his mouth. The sharp impact cut straight into Shiki's chest, but the feeling of obstruction made Tobirama frown.

That's a really hard flat surface. Did you put some ninja tools on it?

Tobirama looked at Shiseido and suddenly saw a golden light, like ripples on water, blocking the water droplets in front of his chest.

A golden coat covered with mysterious black patterns was draped over Zhi Xue's body, blocking the water ripples.

"The power bank is good, I'll give you a treat later."

Sensing the Nine-Tails' chakra surging through Zhixue's body again, Tobirama's face flushed red and then turned green.

The evil Uchiha clan has actually controlled the Nine-Tails!? As expected, the Uchiha clan has never had any good intentions.

Using the residual force of the Water Wave, Shiyuki used the Flying Thunder God Kunai in combination with the Rasengan to unleash a super counter-attack combo that defeated Tobirama.

Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating the Kage-level master, Tobirama Senju.

After training, Zhixue wiped the sweat from her forehead and tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her.

As Zhixue stepped out of the gate, she saw the fox squatting there with its hands on its hips, waiting for her.

"Hey, you human brat, I really helped you out at a crucial moment. If it weren't for me, you would have almost ascended to heaven. Aren't you going to offer me something nice as a token of your respect?"

Zhi Xue looked at his arrogant little face and a bead of cold sweat dripped down her forehead.

This fox doesn't seem to know what the arena is for, but can it see what's inside?

*Ding!* The Nine-Tails' chakra is connected to the host's, allowing them to see the effects in the arena.

"Hmm, so that's how it is?" Zhi Xue scratched her head, thought for a moment, and then reached out and rubbed the Nine-Tailed Fox's chin.

"Alright, I'll give you credit for saving me." Zhi Xue activated Sage Mode, and wisps of chakra drifted out, which were absorbed by the Nine-Tails in one breath.

"Waaah! This is the feeling! More, more!"

Zhi Xue fed herself nearly 70% of her chakra this time. When she came out of her inner world, she felt light and weak.

"Huh? Main body, why are you rushing again? Rushing too much will damage your body." The shadow clone glanced at Zhixue who came out from behind and said with some surprise.

Upon hearing the shadow clone's words, Zhi Xue's forehead creased with a frown. She'd only come out to check if the shadow clone was slacking off; why was it charging in again?

"Don't say what you know, and I didn't use any special moves, I didn't!" Zhi Xue stepped forward and forcefully pulled the shadow clone's cheek.

"Stop pulling, or you'll dissipate. You don't want to create more chakra clones to take your place, do you?" The shadow clone, feeling the pain, quickly waved its hand and said.

That seems to make sense?

"Fine, I'll let you off this time since you didn't slack off. But next time, don't say I'm going all out. I'm not afraid at all! Humph!"

Zhi Xue moved her little hand away, puffed out her cheeks, and returned to the lounge. At the same time, she recalled the pot of thick Chinese medicine that Zhi Shui had brought earlier, and felt a chill run down her spine.

That bitter feeling was absolutely awful.

Chapter 67, The Legacy of the Uchiha

"Kakashi, are you aware of the Root reconstruction?" In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Kakashi Hatake, who was waiting for orders.

"Yes, I know, isn't this your order?" Kakashi was a little confused; the Root reconstruction didn't seem to have much to do with him.

"Ah, that's how it is. After the Root is rebuilt, many tasks will be taken over from the Dark Side, so you'll need to guide them to get used to it. This should be a very simple task."

"Ah, don't worry, leave it to me, Hokage-sama." Kakashi nodded, not thinking too much about it; it was just a handover of a mission, perfectly reasonable.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a scroll from the drawer and handed it to Kakashi.

"You should be very familiar with this. It's the map of surveillance point number 42. You took one against seven to see it before, and this is where you handed over your mission."

"Yes, mission accomplished!"

……

"Ugh, I'm so tired after a whole day of fishing." Zhi Xue looked at the clock on the wall and, after packing up her things, left. As usual, she bought two bowls of ramen from Ichiraku Ramen.

I must say, Ichiraku's cooking skills are actually quite good; it's just the right amount of salt, not too bland, and tastes delicious.

"Hey, Sister Zhixue!" On the path home, Zhixue heard someone calling her and turned around to see Sasuke running towards her with his schoolbag on his back.

Looks like the ninja academy has let out for the day.

"You guys get out of school so early," Zhixue couldn't help but exclaim. It seemed that at the ninja academy, regardless of grade level, the start and end times were the same. Thinking back to her school in her previous life, it was all just a memory...

"We got out of school an hour ago. I just played with Naruto for a while before heading home. But Sister Zhixue, are you off work yet?" Erzhuzi asked Zhixue curiously.

"I'm off work, but why are you asking this? Work is tiring, you need to go home and rest properly," Zhixue said, patting Erzhuzi's head.

Ugh, the feel is still as bad as ever, it's prickly. Petting a fox is much more comfortable.

Erzhuzi's suspicious gaze swept over Zhixue. Could a job like being a sentry in the security team really be so tiring? Although Erzhuzi didn't know the specifics of the job, he saw that Zhixue stayed in the small house every day, and given that the area around Yile Shop was very safe, she should have almost nothing to do.

"Really? Children shouldn't lie."
