'.....'= Thoughts
"....."= Conversations
____________________________________________________________________________________
Harry opened the system shop, his fingers moving quickly. His heart raced as he searched through the options, looking for a way to break free from the mind control that had been bothering him for days. He couldn't afford to waste a second longer.
'There has to be something here to help me. I won't let her control me anymore,' he thought, his anger still bubbling under the surface.
After a few tense moments, he found what he was looking for—a seal to remove mind control, costing 2,000 points. He felt a wave of relief as he bought it right away, knowing it was the first step to getting his freedom back.
'Two thousand points? A small price to get my mind back,' he thought with a smirk, feeling the tension leave him.
But Harry didn't stop there. As he continued browsing, another item grabbed his attention: an Uzumaki protection seal for 4,000 points. This one would protect his mind for a whole year from any mental attacks and even alert him if someone tried to mess with his thoughts again. It was more expensive, but Harry knew it was worth it.
'No one is messing with my mind again. This seal will make sure of that,' he thought, feeling a bit more hopeful.
Taking a deep breath, he pulled the removal seal from his system inventory and carefully placed it on his forehead. As it activated, a warm feeling spread through his mind, followed by a sudden rush of clarity. The fog that had clouded his thoughts lifted, and for the first time in days, he felt like himself again.
'Finally… I can think clearly,' he thought, savoring the feeling. His emotions were raw, but they were his own, untouched by anyone else.
Once the mind control was completely gone, Harry quickly applied the second seal. He pressed the Uzumaki protection seal to his forehead, feeling its energy wrap around his mind like a protective shield. A sense of security filled him, knowing no one could control his thoughts for the next year without him knowing.
With the manipulation gone, Harry's mind turned to something he had been avoiding—his friends. He couldn't shake the question: were the friendships he made at Kamar Taj real, or were they just another trick by the Ancient One? The idea that they could've been fake made his stomach twist.
'Was any of it real? Did I really connect with them, or was it all part of her plan?' he wondered, uncertainty creeping in.
After putting on the protection seal, Harry felt a sense of relief when he realized his friendships were real. The seal helped him see clearly, and he could feel for sure that the bonds he had with his friends were genuine, not some illusion created by the Ancient One.
'At least that's real,' he thought, feeling a bit calmer. "Thank god."
But doubt quickly returned. 'What if the Ancient One manipulated them into being my friends?' His heart sank at the thought. The idea that they might have been pushed into those relationships left him uneasy.
'No, I need to be sure. I can't just guess,' Harry decided, narrowing his eyes. He thought about using the same seal on his friends to see if they were also under her control. If they were being manipulated, he had to know.
'There's only one way to find out,' he thought, bracing himself for the task ahead. He wouldn't stop until he knew for sure if his friendships were real or if they had been twisted all along.
Without wasting any more time, Harry purchased four Uzumaki sealing papers designed to reveal whether someone was being manipulated, each costing 500 points, totaling 2,000 points. The price had dropped after the system's latest upgrade. He barged out of his room, his mind set on confirming the truth about his friends. It was still early in the morning, and everyone was still asleep, but Harry had no intention of waiting.
He knocked quickly on the door of the room adjacent to his. After a moment, Wei came out, yawning groggily. Without a word, Harry smacked the sealing paper onto Wei's face.
"Dude?!" Wei shouted in surprise, but Harry ignored him, staring at the paper. After a tense second, seeing no changes on it, Harry let out a sigh of relief.
"It's a tracking paper, checking if we're being tracked by HYDRA or SHIELD," Harry lied smoothly.
"What's wrong with you? You could've just pressed it lightly on my face!" Wei grumbled as he went to remove the paper, but before he could, it disintegrated—it was a one-time-use item.
"Your face is kinda smackable," Harry joked, suppressing his tension. "Now sleep well." Without waiting for a response, he body-flickered out of there.
Harry repeated the process with Mark, Emily, and Emma, relieved to find that none of them were under any manipulation either. He didn't mind using 2,000 points for the people he cared about. At least now, he could rest knowing that the relationships they had built over time were genuine, not twisted by outside influence.
With a bright smile on his face he returned back to his room and opened the system panel again.

At first he had thought that he had to upgrade the shop separately in order to access the bloodlines and higher level ninja techniques, but he was glad to find that once the system upgraded to level 2 each and every function of it has also upgraded to level 2.
'Maybe, I can upgrade the shop without upgrading the system....but it's too costly to do so,' Harry thought as he ignored the massive amount of points required to upgrade the shop to level 3 and focused on the bloodlines available to purchase.
'Hmm, I still can't purchase the Ōtsutsuki Bloodline. Maybe it will unlock when the shop reaches level 3?' he thought, recognizing that he could only buy one bloodline at a time. Although he was disappointed that the price hadn't dropped, he was relieved it hadn't gone up either.
With a renewed smile, Harry glanced back at the Bloodlines and clicked on the Uchiha bloodline, purchasing it without hesitation. The Uchiha bloodline had always been his top choice, but he hadn't been able to get it before. Now, nothing stood in his way of claiming the power he desired.
As he felt the surge of energy coursing through him, Harry knew this was just the beginning of a new chapter in his journey.
