A smile formed at the corner of my mouth. It looked like my villain arc was about to begin.
"Spin the roulette wheel," I commanded.
The wheel started spinning.
DING!!!!!
[CONGRATULATIONS FOR GETTING NOTHING]
My mouth twitched. "Okay, the next one has to be better," I said, trying to stay positive.
Ding!!!!
[S-Level Pull]
[Congratulations! Observation Haki Version 1 has been received]
[The following item can be evolved in the future]
I clicked on more information.
[Observation Haki: Stage 1]
Unlocks a power that enables the user to sense and foresee events, emotions, and intentions. Enhances dodging abilities and eyesight.
[Stage 1: Comparable to a cheap version of Byakugan.]
Range: You can sense everything within a 3-meter radius and detect any hidden weapons.
I was thrilled. Observation Haki would become a great asset once its potential was fully realized.
Ding!!!!
[Congratulations for pulling a Forbidden Technique]
[Shadow Clone Jutsu]
A forbidden technique created by the Second Hokage. Extremely chakra-consuming and can damage the brain if the user has low mental strength.
"Hah, I think I need to invest some points in intelligence to improve my mental strength," I said, deciding to use all my unused points on intelligence.
The system notified me of the changes, and I got ready for the day.
I woke up at 5 a.m. with the sun just rising. I made a simple breakfast—poached eggs, milk, and fried rice.
When Mom woke up, she said, "You didn't have to go through this trouble."
Ding!!!!
[Favorability increased to 52]
I decided to invite Juri and her mom for breakfast since I had made more than we could eat. As I left the house, I saw Juri heading to work.
"Aunty!" I called out to her.
She turned and greeted me, "Good morning, Ruki-kun. You're up early today?"
"Aunty, did you eat anything before going to work?" I asked.
"No, I'll grab something later," she replied, scratching her cheek.
I took her hand and guided her to my house, placing her on a chair. I served her the warm fried rice and poached eggs.
Ding!!!!
[Favorability increased to 59]
After she ate, she thanked me and headed to work.
I also gave some breakfast to Juri, which increased her favorability further.
Ding!!!!
[Favorability increased to 95]
With the day still young, I used Shadow Clone Jutsu to create three clones and employed Observation Haki to scan my surroundings. No one was following me.
"So, let's get Juri's favorability to 100," I thought.
I took Juri on a shopping spree. I bought her a bracelet, necklace, a shinobi sender, and a beautiful purple dress with black stockings. I also got gifts for others: a new coat for Nami, a sharp kunai for Kara, and a purple-colored short sword for Yūgao. All of these cost 500 system points.
[System Points Remaining: 600]
Ding!!!!
[Congratulations for increasing Juri's favorability to 100]
Juri loved the clothes, which made the effort worth it.
[Rewards: +5 Strength, +10 Stamina, +5 Intelligence, +300 Chakra, +400 System Points]
