Chapter 26 I deserve to die
First, within Konoha Village.
Putting aside the Will of Fire, this village is indeed a place of outstanding people and abundant resources.
The older generation included Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, two prominent figures in Konoha, one overt and one covert.
The middle generation included the legendary Sannin of Konoha: Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, who were at the forefront of Sage Mode, medicine, and science, respectively.
Among the younger generation are Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash; Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; and Kakashi Hatake, who became a Chunin at the youngest age in history.
These are simply treasure troves!
Looking outside of Konoha, the ninjas of each of the other ninja villages also have their own unique skills.
The Third Raikage's Lightning Release, the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's Dust Release...
Taking a big bite of the beef pancake, the tender juices spread throughout his mouth, and Uchiha Ike comfortably squinted his eyes.
He wanted them all; he didn't want to let any of them go.
After all, he wasn't the kind of person who complained about having too much stuff. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of being poor. In his previous life, no matter what game he played, his favorite thing to do was to collect everything.
"Thinking about it this way, I realize I don't have enough points at all..."
"Looks like I still need to continue building good relationships..."
Lost in thought, Uchiha Ike had unknowingly returned to the vicinity of his residence.
Looking at the last sesame seed cake in his hand with a slightly conflicted expression, he thought for a moment and decided to save it for later.
Immediately, he crumpled the other four empty paper bags into four balls, and as he turned into the eaves, he gently tossed the paper balls and the sesame seed cakes upwards with both hands.
As the paper ball and the pancake slowly rose into the air, Uchiha Ike began to rapidly form hand seals.
Zi-Yin-Xu-Chou-Mao-Yin.
When the last Yin Seal is sealed.
Four fireballs, resembling balsam flowers and fruits, carrying scorching and distorted air currents, shot into the air from Uchiha Ike's mouth.
He walked forward without looking back, rummaging in his pocket for the key to open the door while steadily catching the falling sesame seed cake.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
The moment he pulled the key out of his pocket, the four fireballs behind him struck the target with pinpoint accuracy, instantly burning the falling paper ball to ashes.
"It's simply art," Uchiha Ike thought to himself.
However, just as he was marveling at his growing ability to control ninjutsu, a sudden thud came from under the eaves.
"Huh—!?"
He then heard a mechanical sound from the system.
[A fright from Rin Nohara was detected!]
[Gain 10 points and increase defense by 2%!]
What's going on?
Uchiha Ike was a little puzzled, so he quickened his pace and went around to the door of the house from the back.
He immediately noticed people on the ground.
That was a pretty girl with short brown hair, none other than Nohara Rin, whom Obito had been longing for day and night.
At this moment, Nohara Rin was sitting on the ground, pouting and rubbing her bottom with a wronged expression, obviously because she had fallen and hurt herself.
"Nohara Rin-san?" Uchiha Ike blinked in surprise.
Nohara Rin looked over and, after recognizing who it was, immediately stood up, supporting herself with her hands, and took small steps to Uchiha Ike.
"Good morning, Mr. Chi!"
She greeted them in a lighthearted tone, but her eyes were still brimming with tears, showing that her bottom was still hurting.
Uchiha Ike almost laughed, but ultimately held it back.
"Rin Nohara." His expression seemed somewhat indifferent, but his tone carried a hint of concern: "How did you fall?"
Feeling the concern in that tone, Nohara Rin felt a warmth in her heart.
But when she looked up and saw Uchiha Ike's distant gaze, her joy was instantly dampened, leaving only bitterness and guilt.
It's all my fault...
"I'm fine." She waved her hand with a forced smile. "It's just that someone used a fire-style ninjutsu nearby. It looked really powerful and gave me a fright."
"I see." Uchiha Ike nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I was startled too."
"Exactly!"
Sensing Uchiha Ike's cheerful mood, Nohara Rin nodded in agreement like a chick pecking at rice, pouting her little lips in a huff:
"Using this kind of ninjutsu in a residential area so early in the morning is simply disturbing the peace. They have absolutely no sense of public decency..."
Uchiha Ike stopped laughing.
He took a light breath, glanced at Nohara Rin, and asked in a nonchalant tone, "Is there something you need from me, Nohara Rin?"
Nohara Rin looked at Uchiha Ike cautiously, not understanding why his tone had turned cold again.
She looked down at the ground like a quail, clutching her cold little hands, her lips trembling but unable to speak, looking like a soft, glutinous cake.
Uchiha Ike calmly watched Nohara Rin, who remained silent, until he noticed that her face was somewhat pale.
His eyes darkened slightly as he noticed that the other person's exposed thighs and calves were trembling, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that Nohara Rin has been waiting here for a long time.
Uchiha Ike didn't say anything, turned around and unlocked the door with the key, then turned to Nohara Rin and said, "Come in first."
Nohara Rin lowered her head and obediently followed him into the entrance hall.
Uchiha Ike nodded slightly, raised his chin towards the living room, and gestured for her to follow.
Nohara Rin took off her shoes, her small feet in white socks gently touching the floor, and whispered to Uchiha Ike, who had already entered the living room, "I'm sorry to bother you..."
Uchiha Ike ignored him and pointed to the sofa expressionlessly: "Wait here for a while."
So Nohara Rin obediently sat on the sofa, and dutifully sat in the spot that Uchiha Ike pointed to.
Seeing that Nohara Rin did as instructed, Uchiha Ike nodded slightly, turned around and went into the bedroom.
As the footsteps left, the empty living room fell silent.
In this tranquil atmosphere, feeling the comfort and softness of the sofa, Nohara Rin's slightly tense body gradually relaxed, and she curiously looked around the living room.
The living room is decorated in a typical Japanese style, but it seems that comfort has been taken into consideration, as it is also equipped with this three-meter-long brown sofa.
The walls looked old, and the murals on them were somewhat weathered, but overall they looked fairly clean. Even the tea table surface wasn't dusty, so the room must be cleaned from time to time.
The items are still somewhat messy, as if the homeowner just placed them randomly in a place where they can be easily accessed.
From any of these points, it's clear that this place is probably inhabited only by men.
Combined with the rumors that Uchiha Ike was an orphan...
And recall how you questioned the other party back then.
Nohara Rin felt her heart being gripped tightly.
I'm such a bad woman...
Just then.
A slightly indifferent voice rang out.
"for you."
Nohara Rin quickly rubbed her reddened eyes and looked up.
Uchiha Ike came out of the bedroom and placed a fluffy blanket next to her.
Looking at Uchiha Ike, who remained expressionless, Nohara Rin felt a lump in her throat and began to sob, clutching her blanket.
"I'm so damn stupid..."
