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

Ding, Nine-Tails, refers to the abbreviation for the chakra volume of the nine incomplete Ten-Tails. (One incomplete Ten-Tails has approximately 500 calories of chakra.)

Stop Snow: ...

She finally understood why Madara Uchiha could only awaken the Rinnegan in his old age—the chakra requirement was terrifying! Even with the chakra in her body plus the Nine-Tails' chakra, it was still unknown when she could awaken it. Sasuke really got a huge advantage during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

While Zhixue was still racking her brains about how to use chakra, she suddenly remembered the chakra scroll that she had left gathering dust in the warehouse.

Secret Scroll (Chakra): Restores 25% of maximum Chakra upon use, with no upper limit. Cooldown: 24 hours.

"Holy crap, I think I've suddenly discovered something incredible." Zhi Xue suddenly stood up from the sofa, while the little girl clung to Zhi Xue's snow-white thighs to avoid falling.

"Um...wh-what's wrong?" Looking at Zhixue, who seemed to have suddenly realized something, the little girl stood up, tidied her hair, and said in a daze.

Restore 25% of your chakra limit. Because of the need to guard against Urashiki, Shiki needs to maintain a stable and intact state, so each chakra surge cannot use too much; 25% is the perfect limit. Use 25% only when your chakra is fully restored, and then continue refining.

Furthermore, considering that the scroll restores the maximum chakra limit, it seems like it can also exploit bugs.

Zhi Xue turned her gaze to the fox that slept inside her every day. In the puzzled look of the little girl, a burst of golden chakra emerged from Zhi Xue's body, and then a pair of fluffy orange fox ears suddenly appeared on Zhi Xue's black hair.

At the same time, the young girl felt her worldview was greatly shocked when she saw the nine tails that suddenly appeared under Zhixue's skirt, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Good heavens! The fox has become a spirit!"

Zhi Xue ignored the frightened little girl hiding under the sofa beside her, and instead adjusted her own chakra to achieve a state of oneness with the Nine-Tails.

"Kurama, move your chakra in a little more, your tail is almost showing, yes, yes, that's it..."

While cooperating to fuse the Nine-Tails with her own chakra, Zhixue also looked at her panel, where the upper limit of her chakra seemed to be rising rapidly.

160 calories…220 calories…280 calories…

Sasuke, who was stir-frying tomatoes with Amaterasu in the kitchen, placed two fruit platters on the table, then looked at the constantly shaking sofa and a bunch of question marks appeared above his head.

What are those two doing?

Sasuke placed the platter on the table, then walked over and choked when he saw the pair of fluffy fox ears on Zhixue's head.

……

"Phew, Erzhuzi's cooking is pretty good, he's almost catching up with me." Zhixue tasted the scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table with a spoon and praised it.

"Haha, it's alright, isn't it?" Sasuke scratched his head.

Because Itachi often spent most of the day cooking at home when he was a child, he had to learn this skill. After all, they weren't young anymore, and they couldn't let their mother cook for them every day.

The little girl glanced at Zhixue's fluffy fox ears on her head. Perhaps it was because of the lighting, but they looked like they were twitching, which made her feel a little itchy.

At the dinner table, noticing the young girl who kept secretly glancing at her ears, Zhixue asked, "Do you like these ears?"

The young girl nodded subconsciously at first, then quickly refused.

"No, no, no, of course I don't like them. Fox spirits and stuff, though cute, I'd rather not..."

Because the Nine-Tails is the embodiment of resentment in the ninja world and has attacked Konoha, Konoha naturally showed no mercy to the fox in children's stories. As a result, many children in the Land of Fire have heard fairy tales about fox demons eating children, and even Zhixue was not spared.

Although the young girl was very envious of Zhi Xue's pair of fox ears on her head that looked like they were easy to pet, her stereotype of foxes made her feel she should restrain herself.

I've heard that fox spirits love to bewitch people and then secretly eat children.

Seeing the seemingly contradictory words of the young girl, Zhixue smiled, then put down her chopsticks and, to the astonishment of the two, removed the ear... removed it...

"Actually, this is a Bluetooth headset!"

The two were completely bewildered: ...

After receiving the expressions from the two people that seemed to be full of brainstorming, Zhixue put her ears back in with satisfaction.

The fox ears on her body are actually just a partial manifestation of the Nine-Tails' chakra; in short, it's just a mass of chakra.

"If you like fluffy ears, you can touch them as much as you want when you rest tonight..." Zhi Xue said, leaning close to the little girl's ear, looking at her who hadn't reacted yet. This was her way of compensating the original owner of the body. Children are always powerless against certain fluffy animals.

Upon hearing Zhi Xue's words, the little girl's face instantly turned as red as a ripe cherry.

"Is...is this really okay?"

Chapter 189, A Sense of Security

"Wait, are we really going to sleep in the same bed?" The little girl, dressed in her little dragon pajamas, asked, looking at Zhixue who was already lying on the bed.

The last time she slept in the same bed with someone seemed to be a long time ago. At that time, her parents died because of a mission, and she cried all day. Her brother Shisui couldn't do anything about it, so he spent a long time comforting her in bed and helping her to distract herself before they slowly fell asleep together.

"Of course, do you want some white guy to drag you out of bed in the middle of the night and never see your dear brother again?" Zhi Xue said, pulling out a pillow from somewhere and spreading it out on the bed.

Her bed was quite big, big enough to accommodate the two girls, one of whom was less than 5 meters tall.

"Of course not!" Hearing Zhixue say this, the young girl also recalled the scene of seeing the man in white when she opened the window during the day, and immediately shook her head.

If you're taken away and never see Nissan again, wouldn't that be worse than death?

After taking off her shoes, the little girl lay down on the bed in her pajamas, and then felt as if she was being picked up.

"The children should sleep inside, I'll sleep outside."

"Hmm, okay..." The original owner was held inside, and after lying down for a short while, the faint milky scent wafting around gave her a strange sense of peace.

After turning off the lights and coming up, the little girl stared intently at Zhixue, who seemed somewhat tired, and her twitching ears, bathed in the light filtering through the curtains.

"If you want to touch it, go ahead, we're very generous," Zhi Xue said to the little girl in the quiet environment, her eyes closed.

"Then I'll go, I'll go..." Looking at Zhixue's still-developing, childlike face, the little girl's cheeks also turned red.

Although I don't know why this older sister looks so much like me, she is much stronger than me in terms of ability, charm, and confidence, except for one mediocre thing.

He once watched Shisui wave goodbye to him as she headed to the battlefield, and he really wanted to go with her, but unfortunately, with her cowardly personality and the fact that she couldn't beat the ninja cats, going there would only cause trouble.

Sometimes she envied Itachi Uchiha from next door. Despite being younger than her, Itachi had obtained the clan leader's approval to go to the battlefield next year to fight alongside his brother, thanks to his exceptional talent and calm demeanor.

She was terrified that her brother would be like her deceased parents, whose voices would linger in her mind, and that when she saw him again, he would be a cold corpse.

He gently placed his hand on Zhixue's fluffy ears and rubbed them. The incredibly realistic touch and warm body temperature made the little girl feel very comfortable, and her melancholy subsided considerably.

I don't think the fox is so annoying anymore. In fact, it feels even more comfortable to touch than some of the ninja cats in my clan. I've petted cats before, but this is my first time petting a fox spirit, especially one that looks so much like me.

Feeling the little girl's cold little hand pinching her ear, Zhi Xue leaned closer, put her hand under the blanket, and hugged the original body in her arms.

"Hmm...aren't we too close?"

After tucking the blanket in properly, Zhixue felt the rapidly rising body temperature on the little girl's face and her soft body, and playfully blinked her bright black eyes.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not a pervert, and you're still so young, what's there to be afraid of?" As she spoke, Zhixue nuzzled the little girl in her arms, making her blush even more.

She usually sleeps with her shadow clones as pillows, but this one is just a little smaller.

Gradually, Zhixue, having experienced a great battle that day, slowly drifted off to sleep. After seeing Zhixue asleep, the young girl put her hands back into the warm blankets.

"Goodnight...Fox Demon Sister..." Looking at Zhixue who was so close, the little girl yawned, then rubbed her eyes, buried herself in Zhixue's gentle embrace, slowly closed her eyes, and sank into a sweet dream.

……

The next morning, when it was still barely light, Sasuke came out of Shisui's room early and sighed as he looked at the closed door.

"Cooking? I remember there's not much left in the fridge." After composing himself, Erzhuzi tied his apron around his waist, opened the fridge and saw that it was empty. He was going to use his shadow clone to sneak off and buy some groceries, since the two people who were still sleeping probably wouldn't get up for a while.

However, just as Sasuke used Shadow Clone Jutsu, the door suddenly opened slightly, and Sasuke was taken aback to see Shiki already dressed.

"No need to buy groceries for now. I have something else I need your help with this morning." Zhi Xue took out a large cabbage, a few tomatoes, cucumbers, and other items from her clothes, leaving Sasuke completely bewildered.

You can buy almost anything in the system's shop, and the prices are only slightly higher than those in Konoha. You won't have to go out, which will save you a lot of trouble.

However, Sasuke noticed something was amiss when he saw Shiki placing the vegetables on the table.

"Are you feeling a bit off?"

"Ah, yes, I do have a bit. Maybe I slept too stiffly yesterday? But let's not worry about that for now. This morning I wanted to discuss the Rinnegan with you." As she spoke, Zhixue covered her eyes and twisted her stiff neck.

This morning, she used a wisp of Six Paths Chakra to stimulate her Mangekyou Sharingan, and her eye power seemed to become a little restless. In addition, she seemed to see some fragmented and strange images, which puzzled her. She wanted to ask Sasuke, who already possessed the Rinnegan, for advice.

“Rinnegan…” Erzhuzi covered his left eye. To be honest, although he knew that Zhixue possessed the Rinnegan, he had never seen her use the Rinnegan’s eye techniques. This was like a mystery that had persisted for many years, and it remained unsolved even after Zhixue went on a trip to a place beyond the world.

Chapter 190, Triple Hell

On the battlefield between Konoha and Iwagakure during the Third Shinobi World War, after the fierce battle, a mysterious legend seemed to appear in this place.

It is said that whenever two or three ninjas are separated from each other during a battle, a white-clad fisherman who falls from the sky will drain their chakra and cause their deaths, and as time goes by, the chakra will gradually disperse.

Meanwhile, Urashiki, who was sitting in a trench counting the chakra in his fish basket, frowned as he listened to the conversation of several ninjas a few hundred meters away.

"When did I ever say they died because I drained their chakra? They just lost their chakra and were discovered by the enemy ninjas, so they were buried prematurely. Heh, as a polite alien visitor, I'm very polite too, okay?" Urashiki dusted himself off and then used Yomotsu Hirasaka to fish out the chakra of the two talking ninjas as well.

Because of the sneak attack he suffered by that yellow light in the other dimension, his soul is now severely damaged and he urgently needs to replenish and recover his chakra. Fortunately, it is a time of war, and there is so much fresh chakra available everywhere, so he doesn't have to worry about getting into any trouble.

……

Meanwhile, at Zhixue's home, a miniature shadow clone, dressed in a black dress and with a single ponytail, left resentfully.

"Damn this body! Not only do I have to do all the chores, but I also have to go to school for them, and there's no reward at night! It's infuriating!" (scratching head)

In the living room, Zhixue had her eyes closed, and the chakra emanating from her body resembled a blend of blue and gold light. Sasuke also lifted his bangs to observe the flow of chakra within Zhixue's body.

"If you want to awaken the Rinnegan, I can use my Rinnegan power to guide you, but that can only play a supporting role. After all, my Rinnegan was awakened with the help of the Sage of Six Paths, and I don't have much experience in the specific way to awaken the Rinnegan."

Hearing what Sasuke said, Zhixue nodded.

"Support is fine, at least it can save me a lot of trouble, right?"

Seeing Zhixue's gaze, Sasuke nodded, then took Zhixue's gentle hand and transferred his eye power along with his chakra to her.

The original owner, who had already woken up, awoke from her sleep and groggily walked out. After going to the bathroom, she looked at the two people in the living room with a flurry of chakra flashes on their bodies and her face was full of question marks.

What are my older brother and sister doing?

Seeing that he shouldn't disturb them, the original owner slipped to a nearby table and took a big bite of a washed cucumber.

Well, the world is huge, and eating is the biggest.

For the next two or three weeks, the three of them lived in one house, living their lives in considerable seclusion. Shadow clones replaced going to school, and Zhixue helped Sasuke during the day to catalyze the opening of the Rinnegan, while at night she slept with the sweet and soft little girl in her arms.

Nearly a month later, one morning, Zhixue noticed a restlessness in her eyes and saw a strange scene she had never seen before.

Beneath a crimson sky, clusters of beautiful, vibrant black clover grew, while around this meadow burned eerie, deep red flames, like water nourishing the flowers. I was a blurry figure, or perhaps some other entity, wandering across the meadow, gradually melting into this world and becoming one with it.

When her consciousness was about to fade, Zhixue saw that there seemed to be a black eye staring straight at her in the center of the sky. However, when she tried to see it clearly again, she could only realize that she had already broken free from that state.

She walked to the sink in the bathroom. It was still dark outside and the room was somewhat gloomy. However, in front of the mirror, Zhixue saw her own eyes that shone with a deep purple hue.
