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

Since Zhixue was still quite wet, apart from a slight discomfort and cramps in her lower abdomen, she didn't seem to have any major problems.

"I have Hashirama cells, I can... I can..." Zhi Xue threw her coat, which was covered in trash and smelled of alcohol, on the ground. Then she stared blankly at the bloodstains on her trousers for two seconds before her pupils contracted sharply.

Stop the snow: !!!

"I never lie... Wait, what do you want to do here?" Nine-Tails looked at Zhixue who had suddenly entered his inner space and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to give us both some private space. I need to take care of some private matters, so you, fox, can step aside for a bit. I'll thank you properly later." Zhi Xue reached out and grabbed the back of Nine-Tailed Fox's neck, opened the door to the virtual training arena, and threw him inside.

Little Nine-Tailed Fox: ……

After dealing with the little nine-tailed fox, Zhixue glanced at the sky outside, looked at the bright red stain on her pants, and sighed.

Life is tough, she sighed and lamented. She's already stopped growing taller, so why did this happen?

Zhi Xue clutched her chest in grief, feeling the barrenness within her, as if another sharp arrow had pierced her body.

"Forget it, I'd better look for something first, maybe I can deal with it." Enduring the discomfort in her abdomen, Zhixue used her chakra to suppress it firmly, then slipped into her room and searched around, but unfortunately she couldn't find what she was looking for.

"Damn it, do I really have to use tissues instead? They shouldn't congeal with the blood, right?" Zhi Xue looked through the doorway at the tissues on the table, but after thinking about it, she gave up on that option.

"System, does the store sell sanitary napkins?"

Ding! 200 taels per pack. How many packs would you like to buy, host?

"Give me a pack first, it'll be enough to tide me over."

Ding! Purchase successful. You have 1300 million taels remaining. Thank you for your next visit.

The next moment, a pack of pink sanitary napkins appeared on the counter in front of Zhi Xue. Without saying a word, Zhi Xue rushed into the toilet with the tissues, leaving behind drops of blood that had not yet dried.

Squeak...

While Zhixue was still troubled by her first period, a crack suddenly appeared in the second-floor window. A crow flew around outside first, and then Zhishui jumped in.

Holding a kunai in his hand, Shisui formed hand seals, and two shadow clone-like objects rushed around, but found nothing.

puff~

Suddenly, Shisui's shadow clone on the first floor disappeared, and Shisui also sensed the chakra reaction that Shisui had made inside the building.

"Damn it, of all times..." Zhi Xue squeezed the sanitary napkin between her legs, then made a cross shape with her hands, and a shadow clone appeared behind her.

"Hey, you look pretty embarrassed right now."

"Hey, this isn't the time to make fun of me! Hurry up and go out and help me deal with this!"

Seeing Zhi Xue's flushed face, the shadow clone grinned mischievously before walking out of the restroom.

Seemingly sensing the chakra of Shisui's shadow clone, in just two seconds, Shisui, with his eyes closed, was already behind the shadow clone and had placed a kunai behind her neck.

The shadow clone was momentarily stunned by the cold light on her neck, but then she realized that she had forgotten that her chakra and that of the original body had become very different after being fused with Hashirama's cells, and Shisui, who had lost his sight, naturally could not sense it.

"Your chakra is strange... Where did you come from, and what is your purpose in infiltrating my house?" Shisui asked Shisui's shadow clone warily, gripping the kunai in his hand.

However, when the figure in front of him embraced him, Shisui suddenly panicked.

This feeling... why does it feel so much like Zhixue? And why do I feel so wet, and there's a smell of spoiled alcohol?

"Nisan, it seems like it's been a long time. You've almost forgotten about me?"

"You are Zhi Xue!?" Zhi Shui opened his eyes in disbelief, pushed Zhi Xue's shadow clone in front of him to take a good look, and finally looked at the conspicuous crimson.

"Wait...you..." The shadow clone Zhixue stared blankly for two seconds at the unusually dark brown eyes in Zhishui's eyes. Then, remembering the bloodstains on her pants, her face suddenly turned deathly pale.

Holy crap, I should have used the transformation technique! As for your real body, it's not that I didn't want to help you hide, things just didn't go as planned…

"Are you on your period?" Seeing the bloodstains on Zhixue's pants, Zhishui suddenly realized what was happening. Then, looking at the shadow clone's shocked yet slightly embarrassed expression, he smiled and patted her head.

"Don't worry, this is normal. I'll go to the supermarket right away. Wait for me to come back..." Shisui seemed quite happy and wanted to go out to buy sanitary napkins for Shisui, but her shadow clone grabbed her hand.

"Wait... never mind, I'm just a shadow clone, my real body has already taken care of it." After struggling for a moment, the shadow clone helplessly pointed to the toilet and said.

In the bathroom, Zhi Xue threw the blood-stained sanitary napkin into the trash can, then her face darkened as she looked at her still-bleeding vulva.

She finally understood: this thing's bleeding couldn't be stopped. That wicked period, once it becomes one of the Six Realms, it will eventually destroy you inside my body!

Ding! This is a second developmental characteristic caused by the host's fusion with Hashirama cells after the host's body stopped developing. It means that the host's height and size will increase in the future, which is a good thing.

Upon hearing the system's announcement of good news, Zhi Xue's forehead creased with a 'well' shape.

If growing up means enduring menstruation every day, it's better not to grow taller at all. Actually, being a little girl is pretty good, it's just that I wish my little hills could be a bit bigger (sad)...

Chapter 111, Siblings Reunited

As evening fell, Zhixue, who had just finished showering, sat on a chair in her pajamas, feeling the discomfort in her underwear, and sighed.

In the kitchen, Shisui placed several plates of sushi on the table. Looking into Shisui's brown eyes, Shisui couldn't help but ask.

"Nii-san, what happened to your eyes? Were they donated to you by someone else in Konoha?"

"Ah, you're talking about my eyes..." Shisui sighed and touched his eye sockets.

"This was indeed given to me by a Konoha ninja who was partially disabled. It was just transplanted recently, and there is still some rejection reaction between it and my chakra, so it needs time to work out properly."

Upon hearing what Shisui said, Shiyuki was taken aback. In the Naruto world, aren't eyeballs usually placed and removed as needed? How could there be a rejection reaction?

Ding, the host is talking about the Sharingan. This thing does not conform to modern medical theory. Even Tobirama Senju, the master of forbidden techniques from the previous era, did not fully understand it. Moreover, it usually requires special conditions to use.

Stop Snow: ...

In fact, some members of the Uchiha clan, even those who were injured, wanted to give their Sharingan to Shisui, but he refused. The eyes given to him by the commoners of Konoha were a symbol representing the unity of Konoha and the Uchiha, possessing extraordinary significance for peace. He could not refuse this gift, which was also what Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to see.

After all, no one can say for sure about the Sharingan. It's unknown whether Shisui could reawaken the Mangekyou Sharingan if he had the Sharingan of an Uchiha clan member implanted in him and experienced strong emotional stimulation.

If another god were to appear, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt he would be in trouble.

"Alright, don't worry about me. Go wash your hands first. We'll be eating soon. You just got your period, so I made some red date porridge. It'll be good for your health if you drink some tonight." Zhi Shui rubbed Zhi Xue's head and then turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Watching Zhishui's departing figure, Zhixue felt a pang of guilt.

Was it really a bad idea for her to leave Nissan so suddenly...?

Looking at the steaming food on the table, Zhixue shook her head.

Given her status, it would be difficult for her to stay in Konoha. Moreover, she still has an organization, so returning to Shisui's side now would undoubtedly be an act of defection.

After washing her hands in the bathroom, Zhixue felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and looked somewhat uncomfortable.

"Ugh, that wretched period. I was so happy to see Nii-san today..." After returning to the table, Zhi Xue slumped down on it like a salted fish, as if a continuous rain was pouring down on her head.

Zhishui poked her head out of the kitchen, looked in Zhixue's direction, and shook her head with a smile.

Zhixue is as adorable as ever... It's so nice to have a little sister like her. I just wish I could see her every day like before...

Before, when I was in the Dark Division, I didn't have much free time to spend with Zhixue. I could only see her a few times in the evenings and mornings. Now that I'm back in the Guard Team, I have more free time, but my family is missing a lively and adorable little rascal. Fate really is a cruel mistress...

……

After finishing dinner, it was only around 9 p.m., and the stars were just beginning to appear in the night sky. Zhi Xue, who was still at home, went back to her bedroom, tidied up her bed, and stretched, enjoying the long-lost comfort.

"Hmm... the bed is still so soft. Home really does feel the best."

"If you like the place... stay a few more days. I happen to be free these days," Shisui said, placing a water heater on the table next to her.

"Ah, well..." Zhi Xue scratched her head awkwardly. She had teammates. Kakuzu was probably close to the border of the Land of Fire by now and would be back in Amegakure around noon tomorrow. It would be fine for her to stay here for a day or two, but if she didn't go back for a long time, she was afraid it would be difficult to explain to the organization.

Seeing Zhixue's troubled expression, Zhishui was not disappointed.

If it's only for one day, it's not so bad... Besides, Zhixue probably has formed new bonds outside, right? That's a good thing.

……

The night continued to pass, and after exchanging a few words with Zhixue, Zhishui got up to leave Zhixue's room.

"Zhixue, it's very late now. Remember to go to bed early and close the windows. Also, if you still feel abdominal pain or discomfort tonight, go open the second table on the living room counter. There are painkillers there."

"Ah, if you feel too cold, there's a blanket I put in the box under the bed. Also, if you can't sleep..."

"Alright, Nii-san, I know everything. I'm perfectly fine, so you don't need to worry. Look." Hearing Shisui's concerned voice, Shisui rolled up her sleeves, showing off her slender arms that seemed to have no strength at all.

"Okay, Zhixue is in good health, so your brother doesn't need to worry about you anymore. But even if you're in good health, you still need to maintain good habits, okay?" Zhishui said, gently tapping Zhixue's forehead with his finger.

"Don't worry," Zhi Xue said with a smile and her hands on her hips.

Seeing Zhixue's state, Zhishui didn't say anything more. He went back to his room, took out a notebook, and wrote down what had happened since Zhixue's arrival that day.

"I may not have many more chances to see Zhixue in the future, so I must cherish this memory..."

After Zhishui left, Zhixue also got out of bed. Besides seeing her older brother, she had another very important matter to attend to today.

Three hours later, it was already past midnight. Zhixue changed into a black ninja outfit, and after seeing Shisui fast asleep through the crack in the door, she put on the mask she used in the Anbu, opened the window, and disappeared into the darkness.

……

In Konoha, the sky was still dark, with thick clouds obscuring the moonlight. Shiki darted back and forth through the streets of Konoha, quickly running towards the Root base.

Although Danzo is dead, his base may still contain secret scrolls for using Wood Release ninjutsu. Even if the base is searched, Shiyuki can probably find out something from the guarding ninjas there.

After a few minutes of movement, Zhixue arrived at Danzo's former lair and hid behind a bag. Through the gap, she saw two Konoha ANBU members standing at the door.

"Looks like it's been taken over after all... I guess I'll just have to try my luck. If it doesn't work out, I'll go check out the Hokage Building later."

If neither side finds the Wood Release scroll, Zhi Xue will probably have to sneak into Hiruzen Sarutobi's old house during the day to check on things. After all, stealing—no, borrowing—is much more cost-effective than buying it.

Chapter 112, Stealing the Secret Scroll

"who!?"

The two Konoha ninjas standing guard at the door were knocked unconscious by the Sharingan's genjutsu. Shiyuki, who had used the Transformation Jutsu, steadied the mask on her face and placed her hand on the door. A current of electricity spread through the crack in the door.

"Good grief, you're trying to pull this on me?" Zhi Xue wrapped her hands in chakra to block the paralysis from the electric current, but after sensing the several explosive tags wrapped at the end of the dead end inside, Zhi Xue's lips twitched.

By blocking the obvious right path and using it as a trap to deceive others, Hiruzen Sarutobi is truly a cunning old fox.

Feeling the explosion and flames rushing towards her, Zhixue activated Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and teleported more than fifty meters away.

Shortly after the explosion, a team of ANBU ninjas rushed to the scene, carried the two ANBU members who were under the influence of genjutsu onto stretchers, and then began searching the surrounding area.

Seeing the two-person teams searching the surrounding area, Zhi Xue chose one of the lucky groups to be tortured with illusion magic and slipped into an inconspicuous ventilation shaft in Konoha using the Water Transformation Technique.

"Hey, let me see where the secret scrolls are located."

Thanks to the water-based technique's ability to penetrate any crack, Zhixue quickly found a room filled with books.
