After his chakra level had increased, Su Yang immediately spent 3,000 simulation points to bring the True Clone talent into the real world.

He didn't bother with ninjutsu or the Mangekyō, for now, he didn't have enough points anyway.

As soon as the True Clone was acquired, he activated it without hesitation.

An identical version of himself appeared before him.

Their gazes synchronized, completely in sync.

It was a strange sensation, like suddenly gaining a duplicate set of organs.

And while others couldn't tell the difference between the two, Su Yang could feel a subtle ethereal quality from the clone. It only became fully real when he actively directed it.

"At the very least, this could serve as a lifesaving ace,"

Su Yang muttered, rubbing his chin with satisfaction while inspecting the clone.

Then he sent it out.

To do what?

To hunt ghosts and curses, of course, anything that would earn him more simulation points.

Su Yang was determined to test whether 10,000 points would unlock a higher-tier talent.

If blue-ranked talents were already this powerful, then what would purple-ranked ones be like?

As for his real self? Naturally, he chose to stay home and rest.

And that's when he discovered another advantage of the True Clone, it allowed him to rest without interruption. As long as he left a sliver of consciousness with the clone, he could swap places instantly, even while asleep.

The next morning, Su Yang checked the results.

He hadn't gained much.

Not even 500 points overnight.

Still, he had high hopes for today.

Because it was Saturday.

Which meant, Miko Yotsuya would be staying over for the entire day.

"She should attract quite a few ghosts. Maybe even some curses, if I'm lucky."

Su Yang felt it was worth testing.

But he had the nagging feeling he was forgetting something...

Until a sleek black executive van pulled up in front of the villa.

"Ah, right. That."

The one-month deadline had arrived.

Too much had happened lately, he'd nearly forgotten about it.

"Yang-kun! I'm back!"

A cheerful voice echoed from the van.

Then, a slim figure leapt out and sprinted toward him with all the energy in the world.

She had long, flowing violet hair reaching down to her waist, and dazzling violet eyes that shimmered with star-like patterns. With a perfect figure and a bright, beautiful smile, she was a breathtaking girl.

When she was still three meters away, she leapt into the air, aiming to land in Su Yang's arms.

Su Yang's expression darkened slightly.

"You really think you've got the core strength to make that jump?"

Still, seeing her beaming face flying toward him, he sighed and stepped forward, catching her firmly.

"Ai, you're being reckless again. Aren't you afraid of falling?"

Yes, this beauty was Hoshino Ai.

Technically speaking, she and Su Yang were childhood friends.

When Su Yang first arrived in this multiverse crossover world, he had been reborn as an infant.

With no parents, he was taken in by an orphanage.

Those rumors floating around, about him being the heir to some prestigious clan, were just nonsense that got passed around and never corrected. Su Yang didn't bother clarifying, and the myth spread on its own.

At around age four or five, he met Ai, who had been sent to the orphanage after her mother went to prison.

Later on, Su Yang used his "reincarnator advantage" to launch his career, by publishing Naruto.

Knowing Ai's dream of becoming an idol, Su Yang naturally funded and supported her all the way.

If Megumi Kato ever found out about Ai, she'd definitely feel the same kind of blow as that certain golden-haired loser girl.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, she'd already met Hoshino Ai a few times.

The first time, she mistook Ai for a home-wrecking seductress. But after learning the full story, well, the clown turned out to be herself.

And because of Ai's personality, Utaha found that, for the first time, she couldn't bring herself to hate another woman in Su Yang's life.

Of course… this only applied to Hoshino Ai.

"Haha, that's because I knew Yang-kun would definitely catch me!"

Ai giggled smugly, her face glowing with pride.

"Alright, let's head in and have breakfast first."

Su Yang playfully pinches her nose.

If his relationships with Kato, Utaha, and Kitagawa Marin fulfilled dreams and desires from his previous life…

Then with Hoshino Ai, it was pure, deep-rooted affection forged over years of companionship.

After all, who wouldn't fall for a woman who always put her man first?

And that was exactly who Ai was.

Even knowing Su Yang had other women in his life, she didn't mind.

As Ai stepped inside, Su Yang's expression instantly turned cold.

His eyes shifted to a nearby middle-aged woman.

She was Tajima Yoshiko, the top-tier manager he had personally hired for Ai.

Seeing his gaze, Yoshiko flinched.

She never dared to underestimate this seemingly seventeen- or eighteen-year-old youth.

"Boss!"

Yoshiko quickly jogged over.

"Has someone been bothering Ai lately?"

Su Yang's voice was calm, but his tone was ice.

Yoshiko didn't even think of hiding anything.

"Yes, but Miss Ai didn't want me to tell you."

"Who?"

"He's supposedly a young master from some powerful family. Very mysterious. Every investigator I sent was warned off. That's why Miss Ai didn't want you involved."

Su Yang said nothing.

But a flash of killing intent passed through his eyes.

The moment Ai stepped out of the van earlier, he had seen it, 

A Grade-3 Cursed Spirit was clinging to her body.

That shouldn't happen.

Normally, a Grade-3 curse wouldn't attach itself to a human, it would kill or consume them.

That could only mean one thing:

This curse was controlled.

"Send everything you've got to my email. I'll handle it."

Su Yang had already made up his mind.

This was curse-related, he needed a specialist.

Someone like Satoru Gojo would be perfect.

He hadn't killed the curse just now. Instead, he'd locked it away inside Kamui's dimension.

With Gojo's abilities, he should be able to track it back to its master.

And once that person was found, 

Su Yang had no interest in drawn-out drama.

He hated trouble.

That's why whenever he did deal with something, 

He wiped it out at the root.

Clean. Efficient. Permanent.
