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

Don't let her small and weak appearance fool you; she's a genin, and when she coats her fist with chakra, a single punch can pierce through a wall. It's an explosive power beyond human capabilities.

Stepping out of the quest hall, Zhixue looked at the sun, which was already three-quarters past its zenith. She silently asked the system, "System, are there any quests?"

*Ding!* You're not currently at work, so there's no chance to slack off, and therefore no main quests. However, if you want to become stronger, we suggest you spend 100 648 RMB purchases first!

Stop Snow: ...

I think you shouldn't call it the "Slacking Off System" anymore; you should just call it the "Pay-to-Win System."

The sky was already beginning to darken when Zhixue arrived at the Uchiha clan's training ground. At this time, most people were either working or in meetings, so the spacious training ground was mostly deserted, with only a few Uchiha ninjas patrolling in the distance.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people around, Zhixue mobilized the little chakra in her body, preparing to test the rewards given by the system.

"Zi-Yin-Xu-Chou-Mao-Yin, Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!" A dense mass of chakra accumulated in her throat. The moment Zhixue finished forming the hand seals, her chest bulged slightly, and a burst of flames erupted out. After flying a short distance, it split into dozens of dense small fireballs that crashed to the ground.

Visible smoke and dust erupted from where the fireball struck, and Zhixue could even feel the ground tremble slightly.

The power seemed surprisingly good, but the most crucial factor appeared to be the significantly reduced amount of chakra required. This was extremely advantageous for a genin who only had about 0.4 chakra.

"As expected of ninjutsu, no wonder so many people are captivated by this supernatural power." Zhi Xue looked at her palm. This was merely a C-rank ninjutsu, yet it possessed such immense power. Just how intense must the battles between Kage be? Although she had watched the anime in her previous life, seeing Madara Uchiha's terrifying, world-destroying ninjutsu in this world would probably make her tremble with fear.

"Zhixue, are you Sister Zhixue?" A somewhat childish voice came from not far behind Zhixue.

Zhi Xue was startled when she heard the familiar voice. Just as she turned around, she saw a small black ghost rushing towards her.

Little Sasuke suddenly hugged Zhixue from behind, but Zhixue pushed him away.

"You, you are Uchiha Sasuke?" Zhixue asked in surprise, looking at the little boy who was only as tall as her chest.

"Sister Zhixue, it's so good to see you! You know what? I heard from a passing ninja cat that three nasty guys in the clan were planning to bully you today. But don't worry, Sasuke is here to protect you! As long as I'm here, any bad guys who want to bully Sister Zhixue will be beaten to a pulp!" Even though he was pushed away, Sasuke didn't give up. Instead, he symbolically waved his fist and said indignantly.

Sasuke met Shiyu when he was very young, when Itachi asked Shiyu to take care of him. Later, because they were both in the same boat (meaning they were overwhelmed by the genius of their older brother), Sasuke and Shiyu became good friends.

After Zhixue graduated from the Ninja Academy, she would often help Itachi and Sasuke out in her spare time. You could say Zhixue was a frequent visitor to Sasuke's house, although due to the recent tense situation within the clan, she hadn't been there for a long time. However, young Sasuke often came to visit her. And Sasuke would often use his status as the simple-minded son of a wealthy family to help Zhixue scare away gossips.

It can be said that before Sasuke experienced the night of the massacre of his clan, he was a rather cute little kid, a tsundere with a cold exterior but a warm heart.

"Hmm, little Sasuke is pretty good. But I didn't see those three brats you mentioned, and it's almost night now. Maybe the information is wrong?" Zhi Xue hesitated for a moment, but still didn't mention that she had made the three brats cry. It was better to keep this to herself. Those three brats were probably scared by her and wouldn't dare to tell anyone.

"Huh? Is that so?" Sasuke scratched his head in confusion.

Damn it, those ninja cats must have been slacking off. It's such a waste of all the time I spend feeding them so many dried fish every day, making them all fat and chubby.

When Sasuke was puzzled, he suddenly saw several cratered pits behind Zhixue and was stunned.

These don't seem to be attack marks from the Great Fireball Technique. Could it be that Sister Zhixue has learned some new ninjutsu?

……

Uchiha Shrine…

The meeting had just ended, and the elders and high-ranking officers of the security force quickly left. As Uchiha Yatsushiro emerged from the crowd, preparing to attend to important matters at the security force, he suddenly saw three bruised and battered children on the street. Just as he was about to inquire what had happened, the three little ones, their faces covered in bruises, scattered in terror upon seeing his old face, leaving Uchiha Yatsushiro utterly bewildered.

What impolite brats! They don't even know to greet the elder.

Chapter 6 Make a Promise

As night fell, the lights in the Uchiha clan's compound gradually went out, and it was nearly dawn. The food on the table had long since gone cold.

Zhi Xue sat at her desk, the fountain pen she was biting still swaying rhythmically in her hand.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, drawing Zhixue's attention.

"Is Nissan back?"

Zhixue ran out of her bedroom and saw that Zhishui, looking slightly tired, had hung the mask and black robe of the Anbu on the clothes rack.

"Nissan?"

"Oh, it's Zhixue. Why aren't you asleep yet? It's almost midnight. Even if I give you two days off, you still need to maintain the habit of going to bed early and waking up early."

"Nisan, you're still talking to me like that? You probably go to bed later than me, right?" Zhixue said, hands on her hips.

Zhishui walked up to Zhixue and poked her with a finger.

"Frozen!"

"My job is different from yours, of course. I'm directly under the Hokage's Anbu, and I'm very busy every day. You don't need to worry about my affairs. Just take care of yourself first, hahaha."

Zhi Xue gently rubbed her forehead. Why do all the Uchiha clan members like to poke other people's foreheads with their fingers, and with such force?

"Huh? This is..." Shisui stared blankly at the three or four dishes covered with iron bowls on the table for a moment before sighing.

"In the blink of an eye, Zhixue is already 14 years old. She's already understanding of her brother. Time really flies." Zhishui sat down in the chair, put the iron bowl away, and ate a mouthful of cold rice ball, but her heart was warm, as if all the fatigue of the day had disappeared.

"I'm gonna start now."

Zhi Xue stuck her tongue out at Zhi Shui before walking over and sitting down opposite him.

"Nii-san, is the Anbu always this busy?" Shiyuki asked Shisui with a hint of probing.

"Ah, the Anbu, as the backbone of Konoha's secret protection, are indeed much busier than ordinary ninjas. So, please don't wait for me to come back anymore. Lack of sleep will make you age faster, you know," Shisui said half-jokingly, picking up his chopsticks.

"So what kind of person do you think the Hokage is?"

"The Hokage..." Shisui's expression seemed to become much more serious when the Hokage was mentioned.

"The Third Hokage inherited the Will of Fire from the First Hokage. He was tolerant and magnanimous, and highly valued the bonds and emotions among ninjas. Although there were some aspects of his management that I didn't quite understand, the Hokage must have had his reasons for doing things this way. 'Where the leaves dance, the fire will never die,' was a phrase he often said. In my memory, the Third Hokage was such a leader. Zhixue, are you also interested in the Will of Fire?"

Stop Snow: ...

Judging from Shisui's adoring expression, it seems he's really been quite bewitched by the Third Hokage. If things were really as good as Shisui described, the clan wouldn't have suffered such a tragic fate of extermination.

It seems that changing Shisui's mindset will be extremely difficult. No one in the Uchiha clan throughout history has ever been stubborn; aside from Naruto's Kotoamatsukami, no one has been able to persuade him.

If we want Shisui to see the true colors of Konoha's higher-ups, we have to let him experience it for himself. There should still be plenty of time before Shisui jumps off the cliff, but in the meantime, has his Mangekyou Sharingan awakened? This is of paramount importance. Even if it has awakened, we absolutely cannot tell anyone.

Zhi Xue came up to Zhi Shui and, to Zhi Shui's somewhat bewildered look, cupped his face in her hands.

"Zhixue, what are you doing?" After swallowing the rice ball in his throat, Zhishui asked Zhixue, who seemed to be trying to see through him.

"Nii-san, I'm checking to see if you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan yet?"

Shisui's pupils trembled for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

He remembered that he hadn't told anyone else after he opened his eyes. Could it be that he was talking in his sleep and Zhixue heard him?

"Ah, how could you possibly tell if someone has the Mangekyou Sharingan just by looking at them like that?" Shisui gently removed Shisui's slender wrist from his cheek. He then took a deep breath. He closed his eyes, and when he suddenly opened them again, his eyes were crimson, resembling shuriken patterns.

After meeting those eyes, Zhi Xue's delicate body trembled. Unlike the usually gentle and tender Zhi Shui, when she saw those eyes, she felt as if her whole body and even her soul had been seen through.

Subconsciously, a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe appeared in Zhixue's eyes, suppressing the discomfort throughout her body.

"Zhixue, your eyes!?"

This time, Shisui faced Shisui directly and finally saw clearly the Sharingan in Shisui's eyes—it was a three-tomoe Sharingan!? He hadn't been mistaken last time; it was indeed a Sharingan, but it was a three-tomoe Sharingan? Could it be that Shisui had been hiding it from others all these years? But why would that be?

Possessing a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan already puts her ahead of 80% of her clan members. With a little practice in various ninjutsu, she could at least reach the level of a Jonin. It could be said that if Shizuka herself revealed these eyes, she could shed her labels of "useless" and "loser," instantly becoming a genius of the Uchiha clan. But why is that?

Uchiha Shisui was completely baffled by this, but he couldn't help but smile.

"My eyes?" Zhi Xue quickly found a mirror in the bathroom and looked at herself.

The mirror reflected a perfectly proportioned, black-haired little girl, as cute as ever. But besides cuteness, her pair of scarlet, three-tomoe Sharingan eyes sent a jolt through Zhi Xue's pupils.

The shock was almost no less than the loss of her dragon.

Is she dreaming? She actually possesses the Sharingan? And with three tomoe at that?

Zhishui put down his chopsticks, stood up, and couldn't help but facepalm as he looked at Zhixue, who was stunned by her reflection in the mirror.

With that expression, you don't even know you've awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, do you?

Next, Shisui didn't even eat; he went to teach Shisui about the history and uses of the Sharingan, and how to flexibly open and close it. Given Shisui's timid nature, she could easily trigger her Sharingan with a mere fright… It wouldn't be a problem in the village, but if they were out on a mission, it would prematurely reveal their information.

After nearly an hour of explanation, Zhixue roughly understood what Shisui had taught her, plus a bunch of Uchiha clan history she hadn't understood. But once someone gets into a conversation, they really can't stop—no, that's not right, it should be Shisui's one-sided chatter.

"Alright, I've said enough. It's getting late. I'll discuss the Sharingan with the clan leader tomorrow, and then allocate more clan resources to you..."

"Wait, don't tell anyone about the Sharingan."

"Huh?" Uchiha Shisui seemed taken aback for a moment, then shook his head regretfully. Well, since Shisui doesn't want others to know, she probably has her own reasons.

"Is that so... then I agree. However, you can't tell anyone about me awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, okay? Not even your closest friends." Shisui stepped forward and ruffled Shisui's soft hair as he spoke.

"Hmm, of course, wait, what are you doing?"

"Pinky promise, this is a promise between us siblings."

Zhi Xue glanced speechlessly at Zhi Shui, who was grinning foolishly. "Trying to treat me like a child again? This feeling is really annoying." But she wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, pinky promise, pinky promise, and it's a promise that you won't change for 100 years."

"Okay, pinky promise, for 100 years, no take-backs, hahaha..."

Chapter 7 Pure Kunai

"Look, this Uchiha brat is slacking off again. He's such a weirdo. I've never seen an Uchiha like this before."

"Stop talking, or they'll arrest you. You'd better hurry up and leave."

Hearing the chatter around her, Zhixue paid no attention. She slightly opened her eyes and looked out the window at the midday sun. She woke up from her soft cushion and lazily stretched.

Congratulations, host, for completing your daily slacking-off task. You have received the reward: Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Zhi Xue yawned, wiped the water droplets from the corners of her eyes with a tissue, and threw it into the trash can. Then she felt something appear in her ninja tool pouch at her waist, reached in, and pulled out a Flying Thunder God Trident kunai.

No, what use would she have for the Flying Thunder God Kunai? She doesn't even know how to use the Flying Thunder God.

While Zhi Xue was still wondering why the system would reward her with this useless thing, the introduction of the Flying Thunder God Kunai appeared on her retina.

Ninja Tool: Flying Thunder God Kunai (Pure Version)

Description: The Flying Thunder God Kunai needs to be combined with Super Armor and Rasengan to complete a full set of its purity to unleash its true power. (Maxed out, really maxed out.)

How to use: By channeling chakra into a kunai, you can temporarily avoid ninjutsu damage and teleport behind the enemy to launch a slash. (Note: Extremely fast reaction time is required; if your reaction is not quick enough, you will die.)

"Sounds pretty impressive, and reaction speed? Hmph, we're from the Uchiha clan, how could our Sharingan reaction speed be slower than ours?" Zhi Xue spun the Flying Thunder God kunai around a couple of times, played with it, and then put it into her ninja tool pouch.

After opening the wooden door of the guard post, Zhixue weighed the pocket money that Zhishui had given her in her hand and walked towards the Ichiraku Ramen shop across the street.

"Uncle Ichiraku, two bowls of tonkotsu ramen, please remember to add extra spice."

"Okay, the noodles will be ready soon."
