Wuyue watched helplessly as she vanished, letting out a soft sigh. "That's what a real fool is. You're the best reward."

The words had barely left his lips when a mechanical notification echoed through the air. "Congratulations, host, for completing your choice. Rewards: Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Rinnegan, 200 days of cultivation in all areas, and 20 years of the Dragon Clan's growth cycle."

315 Concealment

Holy crap, this reward!

Wuyue was completely stunned. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the Rinnegan, plus two hundred days of cultivation and twenty years of dragon-like growth... This was probably the most generous reward in history! "What the hell? Did I defeat some incredible boss? Is this the reason for this reward?"

"BOSS is impossible, a girl would be more fitting."

Oborozuki spoke up at the opportune moment, her voice appearing in the air. "Think about it carefully, you gained quite a bit when you slept with Saori last time, didn't you? And the deeper the interaction and ambiguity with women, the greater the rewards. The so-called 'pervert training system' is designed to make perverts like you even more perverted, which is in line with its purpose."

A hit!

Her words, analyzed from both a rational and scientific perspective, are the most fitting answer. Even Wu Yue couldn't find any grounds to refute them. Standing there awkwardly, she said, "No, I wasn't originally a pervert. It's all this damn system's fault!"

“But you’re already enjoying it.” Longyue smiled and said, “That’s a kind of growth, isn’t it?”

"Tsk, who wants this kind of upbringing!" Wuyue clicked her tongue and sighed, "It has corrupted my pure and kind nature."

"Did you examine your conscience when you said that?"

"What is conscience? Can you eat that?"

"Didn't you already eat it yourself?"

"Ah, that's right. Chicken flavored."

"Alright, stop arguing with me." Longyue looked at him with disdain in a slightly disgusted tone. "Your mission here is complete, so get lost."

"Wow, your attitude..." Now that the system's task was completed, Wuyue wasn't in such a hurry as before, and she didn't even have the mood to joke. "That's hurtful. Is this how you treat your dear master?"

"You pervert, are you starting now? I don't want to be flirted with by you, get lost!" As she spoke, Longyue suddenly lunged forward and kicked Wuyue in the butt.

Fluttering.

Wuyue only felt a sound like mirror shattering beside her. Suddenly, a void appeared in the very center of the space. An extremely strong suction force abruptly appeared, pulling her into it. {"Damn it, your way of sending someone away is too brutal..."}

Longyue could still hear Wuyue's voice, but Wuyue had vanished from her sight, and the empty tunnel had completely closed.

"The word 'brutal' should be used to describe you, you idiot." Gazing at the sea, which had returned to calm, Longyue murmured to herself. "Every time you get excited or agitated, the waves here surge." As she spoke, her body gradually rose, transforming into the mature, palace-dressed woman that Wuyue had seen her at the beginning of the month.

"Hey." Raising her head, Longyue looked in another direction, seemingly talking to herself, or perhaps something else was hidden there. "Aren't you ready to come out and see him? That innocent child has always harbored resentment towards you."

silence.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no reply or sound.

Just when Longyue thought the other party wouldn't answer, a clear, ethereal, and seemingly real female voice suddenly rang out. "Now is not the time."

"Hmm, I knew this would be the answer." Longyue sighed and said nothing more. The atmosphere in the entire space fell silent once again.

……

……

"Cough cough, my head hurts so much." Wuyue opened her eyes as she woke from her deep sleep, looking around. The furnishings were decorated in a Japanese style, and the Uchiha clan crest was clearly engraved on them. "This should still be Yui's aunt's house, right?"

Squeak.

The door opened.

Uchiha Mikoto, with her long, jet-black hair, entered the room. The moment she saw Mugetsu, her cheeks flushed red before she said, "Mugetsu-kun, are you awake?"

"Um, Mikoto-senpai..." At this moment, Mugetsu's mind was still hazy, so she didn't notice the other person's expression... "How long have I been asleep?" Damn it, she couldn't remember anything. Judging from this situation, could she have been unconscious for several days?

"It's only been four hours." Fortunately, Mikoto Uchiha's words relieved him. "It's not dinner time yet."

Oh, I see. Only four hours? That's acceptable.

Wuyue nodded slightly and then asked, "By the way, Mikoto-senpai, where is Yui-senpai?"

"She went to prepare the ingredients, planning to cook you dinner herself." With a smile, Mikoto Uchiha said, "This is kind of a tradition of our Uchiha clan. But, Mugetsu-kun… you don't seem to remember what happened before?"

How could she have figured it out?

Wu Yue was puzzled, but out of politeness, she didn't ask. Instead, she said directly, "To be honest, I did fall into a state of unconsciousness for a while. Last time, after I was drugged, it was like that too."

"I see." Mikoto suddenly understood, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "It's okay if you don't remember, it should still be 1.7. I think Yui-chan won't blame you. Here, these are the clothes Yui-chan prepared for you beforehand. Please change into them." She placed the clothes next to the tatami mat with both hands, turned around and left the room.

"Something feels off," Wu Yue mused, watching her departing figure.

"Is this alright?" Mikoto had barely stepped out the door when Yui was already waiting beside her. "Why hide it? Actually, you have feelings for him too, don't you?"

"Stop talking, Yui-chan." Mikoto shook her head and said, "I'm a married woman, let's leave this topic at that. Please don't tell him about that matter."

316 The Cunning Wuyue

The night was deep, and the moonlight, radiating a soft, silvery glow, enveloped the entire Leaf Village.

"Then we'll take our leave."

Take care, and come back to visit often when you have time.

"Okay, Aunt."

After dinner, Mugetsu and Yui said goodbye to Mikoto Uchiha and strolled towards their home.

"Mutsuki-kun." After a moment of silence, Yui suddenly asked, "Was the dinner I made really bad?"

"No, no." Wu Yue paused for a moment, then quickly said, "It's very good."

"I want to hear the truth." Yui stopped and stared at him calmly.

“That’s the truth.” Wuyue’s lips twitched slightly as she said, “For a newcomer to the culinary world, that’s really amazing. At least, at least Kushina-neechan can’t compare to you.”

"I see." Yui nodded knowingly and said, "So she's about the same level as Kushina-neechan?"

"No, that's not what I meant!" Wu Yue was completely shocked. This girl, could she really read minds? She could even see through what she was hiding in her heart?

“No need to explain.” Yui shook her head. Although her expression remained calm, Mugetsu could still read a hint of disappointment in her bloodshot eyes. “It seems I really am not suited for cooking.”

"Don't be discouraged," Wuyue hurriedly comforted her. "Cooking is something that's mostly learned through practice. Really. As long as you do it often, you'll become skilled."

Yui disagreed. "But ultimately, to reach the top, you still need talent."

That's top-notch! So you really love cooking? You're a ninja, for crying out loud! Don't just switch professions like that! This isn't some culinary world!

While inwardly grumbling, Wuyue didn't show it on her face, and said gently, "Sweetie. Cooking doesn't need to be so refined. Just practice a little every day. Besides, don't you think your aunt's behavior at dinner just now was a bit strange?"

"Really?" Yui turned her head away, her expression unchanged. Her face remained completely expressionless, as if she were indifferent to everything.

"Yes, yes." Wuyue nodded seriously and said, "I always feel like her eyes are darting around. She also seems to have trouble concentrating. It's so strange."

“She’s probably just thinking about other things.” Yui naturally knew why her aunt was acting strangely. But she had promised to keep it a secret, so she didn’t explain to Muzuki. Instead, she tried to steer the conversation in another direction. “Like that man, or Itachi’s.”

Wuyue fell for the trap as expected, and asked suspiciously, "Speaking of which, is your aunt's relationship with that man... Uchiha Fugaku still so strained?"

"It's not just a stalemate," Yui shook her head gently, "It's probably reached the point of irreconcilable differences. However, my aunt is quite rigid when it comes to marriage. So, she hasn't brought up divorce yet."

"Ah, that's really quite pitiful," Wuyue remarked unconsciously.

"So, it's up to you now."

"what?"

"You haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you? You were going to win over my aunt."

"Uh."

"Two months might be too short. I can extend the timeframe and give you a year."

"This, this isn't a matter of time at all!"

"If you used to think it was just a joke, now I believe you can definitely do it."

"Huh? Why?" Wuyue froze, a look of astonishment on her face. "Why are you suddenly saying something like that..."

Although he could definitely sense that Mikoto Uchiha had feelings for him, it was probably just that—feelings. Family factors should be the most important thing.

Yui didn't give him any further answer, only giving him a meaningful look. Then, she fell silent.

With their own thoughts, the two parted ways at the fork in the road in front of their homes and returned to their respective residences.

"I'm back." Opening the door, Wuyue immediately saw Yuhi Kurenai leaning back on the sofa, engrossed in some unknown book. "Hmm? Onee-sama isn't asleep yet? Were you waiting for me?"

"Huh?" Kurenai put down her book, a look of disgust on her face. "Just how self-important are you to think that your older sister stayed up all night waiting for you here?"

"Isn't that right?" Wuyue blinked and said, "Then it's for reading?"

“Of course.” Kurenai Yuhi raised her head, seemingly quite self-assured.

"But that's a knitting pattern for sweaters. It seems like you can't even knit a scarf, right?" Wuyue blinked, feigning curiosity. "So you're going to start learning to knit sweaters already?"

what?

Kurenai finally realized what was happening and looked at the book cover. Her face instantly turned bright red, then purplish-red. "Mind your own business! Can't I just knit a sweater? Mind your own business!"

“Sure, of course!” Wuyue walked straight up and cupped her face in her hands. “Anyway, whether it’s a sweater or a scarf, it’s all for me.”

317 Shared Bathing Area

"Who, who would knit a sweater and scarf for a pervert like you!" In an instant, Yuhi Kurenai's cheeks turned bright red, and she shouted, "Don't even think about it, it's impossible!" As she spoke, she reached out and slapped Mugetsu's hand off her cheek.

"Hmm, really?"

Compared to Wuyue two years ago, he's now several times more shameless and thick-skinned. He wouldn't back down because of the other party's textbook-perfect arrogance. "Who's that for? Does my sister have another man outside? Who is he?! Tell me, I'm going to kill him!"

"Idiot, idiot, you moron! What kind of wild man is this?!" Kurenai Yuhi immediately got angry and grabbed his ears. "Are you trying to cause trouble? Can't I knit it for Shizune and Tsunade-sensei?"

"But I want my sister to give it to me." Wuyue didn't break free from the hand pinching her ear, and just gazed at her affectionately. "That would definitely be the warmest and most beautiful gift."

Eh?

Kurenai Yuhi froze, her heart pounding like a deer's. A blush rose to her cheeks, and her eyes darted away. "You rascal, what nonsense are you spouting all of a sudden…?"

"Can't you knit me a sweater?" Wuyue tilted her head and asked with innocent, pure, and adorable eyes.

Wow, that tone, that expression... that's totally cheating!

Her wine-red pupils were almost like mosquito coils. "Sure, but you'll have to wait a while." Her affection for Mugetsu was already at its peak. There was no doubt about that. Even though she would sometimes unconsciously tease him, it was just because of her naturally reserved personality. She was just trying to get his attention in this way.

Right now, when I hear that the other person is looking forward to the sweater or scarf I knitted, love immediately floods my mind.

"Wait a while?" Wuyue blinked and said, "Are you waiting for my elder sister to learn how to knit? Hahahaha, then I'm afraid we won't be able to wear it until a whole winter."
