Koyuki Kazahana: Affection Level 70% (Two remaining lottery draws, do you want to start?)

Seeing the system notification in his mind, Furen commanded, "Start the lottery."

A familiar roulette appeared in his mind, and after a few flashes of light, the system's voice echoed.

You have drawn a reward for 25% affection from Koyuki Kazahana: 2 million ryo.

Furen's eye twitched as he saw the result of the lottery from Koyuki's affection level.

"System... are you serious?" Furen asked.

As if wanting to confirm it, the system interface in his mind shifted to the skills panel. Under the skills section, a new line had appeared:

Money: 2 million ryo (Available for withdrawal)

Typically, a ninja completing a D-rank mission would receive about 500 to 600 ryo. C-rank missions, usually involving personal escort jobs, ranged from 10,000 to 50,000 ryo. B-rank missions, which often involved combat, ranged from 50,000 to 150,000 ryo. A-rank missions, depending on the difficulty, could earn between 150,000 and 2 million ryo. S-rank missions, rare as they were, started at 2 million ryo and had no upper limit.

The reward Furen drew from Koyuki was equivalent to completing a near-S-rank mission.

After a moment of reflection, Furen said, "Let's draw the reward for 50% affection from Koyuki."

The roulette in his mind spun once again, this time flashing with a purple glow.

Congratulations, you have drawn a reward for 50% affection from Koyuki Kazahana: 100 ryo (Value may increase).

Skills Panel:

Mind Body Switch Technique lv3

Super Strength lv2

Money: 2 million ryo (Available for withdrawal), 100 ryo (Value may increase)

Seeing the 100 ryo reward with the note Value may increase, Furen became curious.

"System, what does 'Value may increase' mean?" Furen asked.

"The items with this attribute can be increased in value through certain methods. The host must explore these methods on their own," the system vaguely replied, giving only a hint.

"It seems like this 100 ryo will have something to do with Koyuki," Furen mused. After thinking for a while, he concluded that this reward was likely connected to Koyuki in some way since it couldn't be withdrawn like the other money.

Koyuki Kazahana's affection level: 70%

"Just a little more and I'll be able to draw again..." Furen licked his lips, watching Koyuki as she applied her makeup in front of the mirror. He felt a strong desire rise within him.

"Let me help you," Furen offered, stepping in to assist Koyuki with her makeup.

Knowing she wouldn't be able to finish quickly on her own, Koyuki allowed Furen to apply her eyeshadow and lipstick.

With her eyes closed for about ten minutes, Koyuki finally opened them again. She was stunned by what she saw in the mirror.

"Is this... really me?" Koyuki was in disbelief. Originally, she had only asked Furen for help to save time, but the makeup he applied was far better than anything she had ever seen from professional artists over the years.

Both Koyuki and Furen admired the reflection of the two of them in the mirror.

"Hmm... it's still not perfect," Furen commented after a long look. "Koyuki, turn your head."

After witnessing Furen's makeup skills, Koyuki obediently turned her head.

"It seems like your lipstick isn't quite natural yet, it's missing the final touch..." Furen said as he cupped Koyuki's face with both hands, smirking mischievously.

Staring at Furen, who was now inches from her, Koyuki's mind went blank.

Koyuki Kazahana's affection level increased by 4%.

"Yes! This is the place!"

Sitting on the ship dressed in thick clothing, the director exclaimed excitedly as he spotted a massive snow-covered mountain rising from the sea.

"Director, are you really going to film here?" one of the shivering crew members asked, hunched over from the cold.

"Of course! This is the perfect location for shooting!" the director shouted with enthusiasm.

With no other choice, the crew and actors followed the director's instructions and began preparing to film on the ice.

As one of the actors, playing a villain, stood atop a small icy hill wielding a staff and confronting Koyuki Kazahana, who held a sword, a massive avalanche suddenly occurred on the mountain behind him!

"Wow! That special effect is so realistic!" Naruto exclaimed in awe. Team 7, including Kakashi, was tasked with protecting Koyuki and didn't stray far from her side.

However, unlike Naruto, Kakashi wasn't foolish enough to marvel at the scene. He closed his book, Icha Icha Paradise, and stood in front of Koyuki, his expression serious.

Sure enough, after the avalanche ended, a figure emerged. It was a ninja clad in strange armor.

Recognizing the figure, Kakashi's eyes narrowed with caution. "Yuki-nin, Wolf Fang Avalanche."

Wolf Fang Avalanche scanned the group before him and said coldly, "Welcome to the Land of Snow."
