Chapter 3 is infuriating! I'm definitely going to beat Naruto up tomorrow!
The screen went completely dark.
Inside the screening room, the previous darkness and deathly silence returned.
Sasuke and Sakura were both a little confused.
"That's... over?" Sakura blinked, still a little dazed.
The dream I just had was boring, but the ending was so abrupt!
"Hmph, what a boring dream." Sasuke crossed his arms and snorted, but a hint of doubt lingered in his eyes.
Who was that woman who suddenly appeared at the end?
Only Kakashi!
The instant the screen went black, he jumped up from his seat as if he had been electrocuted, his body trembling slightly from extreme shock.
His dead fish eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.
That sound just now?
And that fleeting glimpse of red hair...
No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Although the image flashed by in an instant, the long, fiery red hair and that unique roar...
But how is that possible?
On the night Naruto was born, his teacher and Kushina sealed away the Nine-Tails to protect the village...
Naruto could never have seen his mother! He couldn't possibly know what she looked like, what her voice was...
What exactly happened in the dream just now?
Could it be some kind of extremely sophisticated illusion that reads images from the depths of one's memory?
wrong!
If it's about reading memories, why didn't Sasuke and Sakura react?
They didn't know Kushina at all!
Could it be Naruto's own subconscious...?
Because of the blood connection, the image of my mother was vaguely constructed in my dream?
That's not right either!
The subconscious mind cannot be constructed in such a clear way.
The voice, the hair color, the movements... they were all so realistic!
Kakashi felt his mind descend into chaos.
Countless questions and speculations crashed against his understanding like a tidal wave.
A bizarre dream, a mysterious space, and finally, the person who shouldn't have appeared.
What lies hidden behind all of this?!
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +2000!]
Hidden in the darkness, Shigure smiled with delight as she saw the numbers on the system panel instantly soar.
I knew it; Kakashi would definitely lose his composure the moment Kushina appeared.
This is precisely the finishing touch in the Shiyu Plan.
At Naruto's happiest and most fulfilling moment, his dream is suddenly interrupted by the image of his mother, creating a strong contrast and emotional impact. This precisely hits Kakashi's sore spot, triggering a violent emotional fluctuation in him.
While Kakashi was still reeling from Kushina's appearance...
hum-
Suddenly, a soft yet dazzling white light illuminated the dimly lit screening room.
The white light instantly engulfed everything.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over them, and their consciousness began to blur once more...
……
next second.
Konoha Village, the Hatake family.
"call!"
Kakashi suddenly sat up in bed, panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He subconsciously looked around.
It was a familiar room.
Outside the window, the night remained silent, with moonlight streaming through the window and onto the floor.
came back?
Kakashi shook his still somewhat dazed head, trying hard to recall the unbelievable experience he had just had.
That dimly lit screening room… a huge and eerie screen… Sasuke and Sakura in their pajamas… Naruto's dream playing on the screen… the villagers' cheers… young master Naruto… and finally… Kushina-senpai.
Everything was so clear, so real, as if it had just happened a second ago.
"Could it be... that what just happened... was really just a dream?" Kakashi frowned, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.
If it's not a dream, then what is it?
The ability to silently pull himself, Sasuke, and Sakura into a shared space and play Naruto's dream.
That's simply incredible skill, unheard of before.
And, most importantly... Kushina-senpai!
Naruto... how did he know that?
Kakashi felt like his brain had turned into a mess.
He had a feeling that this matter was anything but simple.
……
Meanwhile, in the Uchiha clan compound, in Sasuke's room.
"...Hmph, what a boring dream." Sasuke sat up in bed, his face showing a hint of annoyance at being disturbed from his sleep, as well as extreme disdain for the cowardly version of himself in his dream.
He quickly put the absurd dream out of his mind and lay back down.
……
Sakura Haruno's house.
"Ugh! Naruto, you big idiot!!!"
Sakura suddenly woke up with a start and slammed her fist hard on the pillow next to her, sending the cotton fibers flying everywhere.
The scene of Naruto "accepting" her confession in her dream was still vivid in her mind, making her both ashamed and angry.
"I'm so angry! I'm definitely going to beat Naruto up tomorrow!!"
……
Inside Ichiraku Ramen, in a small storage room next to the kitchen.
Shi Yu looked at the final settlement numbers on the system panel with satisfaction.
[This time, the dream-fulfilling recipient is: Naruto Uzumaki]
[Viewers: Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Hatake Kakashi]
[Total Emotion Points Gain: 6450!]
"Hehehe..." Shi Yu rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"System! Open the shop!"
With a thought, a virtual interface, like a game store, appeared before his eyes, visible only to him.
The interface is filled with a dazzling array of items, divided into various categories: [Bloodline], [Ninjutsu], [Taijutsu], [Items], [Special Abilities], etc.
Shigure suppressed the urge to immediately check the [Bloodline] section to see how many points were needed for the Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Wood Release, forcing himself to calm down.
Don't rush!
The most important things now are survival and building a foundation.
I'm starting from scratch, so I need to get my hands on chakra and basic abilities first.
Putting aside whether it's even possible to exchange for it, even if you did manage to get the Rinnegan, you'd probably be drained into a dried-up corpse.
He took a deep breath and opened the [Ninjutsu] - [Basic] category and the [Special Abilities] - [Constitution] category to take a look.

……
Instantly, a massive flow of information flooded into Shigure's mind.
He instantly absorbed and mastered the knowledge and experience on how to combine mental and physical energy and how to efficiently refine chakra, as if enlightened.
At the same time, the hand seals, chakra flow routes, techniques, and countless practice experiences related to the Substitution Jutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, and Body Flicker Jutsu were also etched into his instincts.
Immediately afterwards, a warm and powerful energy flowed through his entire body.
He could clearly feel his muscles becoming stronger and more powerful, his nerves reacting faster, and his limbs filled with unprecedented vitality.
His body, which had been somewhat weak, suddenly became much stronger.
"Hoo..." Shi Yu exhaled a long breath, feeling the tremendous changes in his body and knowledge, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
He opened his palm, and with a thought, tried to activate the chakra refining technique he had just mastered.
A faint blue energy, like a newly born stream, flowed slowly along his meridians and eventually gathered in his palm.
Although the amount is still small, it is truly his own chakra.
"Success! I can finally refine chakra!"
Shi Yu suppressed her excitement and continued browsing the shop.

……
I can't afford it.
With only 650 emotion points left, he simply couldn't afford it.
But with chakra and basic physical abilities, they finally had a foundation for survival.
As long as Kuku boosts his emotional value, Bao's future looks promising.
