Ryun firmly caught the Flame Demon Necklace. He took a deep breath, then slowly activated the fire nature chakra within his body.
In an instant, a surge of raging red flames erupted from his hand, like a violent fire dragon soaring into the sky.
However, something shocking happened. The blazing red flames instantly transformed into dazzling golden flames. These golden flames seemed to contain endless power, and the high temperature they emitted far exceeded the limit of ordinary flames.
At this moment, the Flame Demon Necklace, which originally looked somewhat defective like an ordinary jade, suddenly emitted a bright light.
As the light flashed, the texture of the necklace gradually changed, quickly transforming from its initial defective appearance into a high-quality jade with a warm and translucent color.
The shopkeeper standing nearby witnessed all this, and his heart was already filled with shock. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, Uchiha Ryun. How could I not see that this thing was so valuable? I only sold it to him for ten thousand ryō. I lost big, lost terribly."
On the other side, Tsunade was also shocked by the scene before her. Her beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and she subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand. Clearly, even Tsunade did not expect this seemingly ordinary necklace to have such a magical effect.
At this moment, she could not help but think to herself, "Not to mention a mere ten thousand ryō, even if it cost two million ryō, getting such a treasure would be absolutely worth it."
When the dazzling golden flames appeared, the surrounding merchants immediately felt a wave of intense heat rushing toward them. They all looked astonished and involuntarily took a few steps back to avoid the scorching temperature.
As for Uchiha Ryun, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly with a proud expression. With a light shout, he instantly withdrew the released chakra.
As the chakra was retracted, the golden flames quickly dissipated like a receding tide. Immediately after, Uchiha Ryun decisively put the Flame Demon Necklace around his neck.
Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. A series of crisp and rapid notification sounds rang out continuously, as if they were about to burst through the eardrums.
However, Uchiha Ryun turned a deaf ear to this. He thought to himself, joking aside, the fact that the system was making such frequent sounds was enough to prove that this item was no ordinary thing.
After all, it was a treasure that could significantly improve the quality of his chakra and greatly enhance the power of fire nature jutsu.
Standing nearby, Tsunade saw Uchiha Ryun obtain such a precious treasure, and a happy expression appeared on her face. She smiled and congratulated him, "Ryun, this is great. Congratulations on obtaining such an amazing treasure."
Uchiha Ryun heard this and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, smiling as he replied, "If it weren't for you, Tsunade, wanting to go shopping and coincidentally taking a liking to this necklace at first glance, I probably wouldn't have discovered this hidden bargain."
After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with sweetness and happiness.
At this moment, they completely ignored the feelings of the shopkeeper beside them. The shopkeeper's face was full of bitterness, and tears welled up in his eyes. He was filled with regret.
However, the transaction was already completed. According to the rules, once the money and goods were exchanged, there was no room for regret.
Although unwilling, he could only helplessly wave his hand and urge, "You two, hurry up and leave. Go."
Uchiha Ryun and Tsunade naturally did not care about the shopkeeper's reaction. The two looked at each other affectionately.
Then, Tsunade obediently put on the necklace and gently held Uchiha Ryun's arm. Like a loving couple, they set off again, ready to continue enjoying the fun of shopping.
As they walked, Uchiha Ryun suddenly remembered something and asked the system, "System, what exactly are the magical effects of this Flame Demon Necklace?"
However, what awaited him was silence.
Seeing that the system did not respond, Uchiha Ryun could not help but frown and ask again, "System, why aren't you saying anything? Could it be that there's still some secret you're hiding from me?"
But no matter how he pressed, the system remained silent and did not respond to him.
Uchiha Ryun smiled. It did not matter. If the system would not say, then he would explore it slowly in the future. A treasure that could move the system was definitely not just about improving flame quality.
Next, Uchiha Ryun and Tsunade walked side by side, leisurely strolling through the bustling streets. The sunlight shone on them, casting two long shadows.
Before long, they arrived in front of the Akimichi clan's famous barbecue restaurant. This barbecue restaurant was thriving, and the tempting aroma filled the air.
The person standing behind the counter was none other than Akimichi Torifu himself.
Akimichi Torifu saw Uchiha Ryun and Tsunade, and his face immediately broke into a warm smile.
He quickly stepped forward and said in a friendly tone, "Ah, Ryun, Lady Tsunade, your visit to my humble shop today truly honors me. Please come in and be sure to try the delicious barbecue in our shop."
As he spoke, he enthusiastically gestured for the two to take their seats.
Uchiha Ryun saw this and quickly smiled and waved his hand, humbly replying, "Torifu-senpai, you are too polite. You were one of the Second Hokage's personal guards, a person of great virtue and prestige. How could we dare to accept being called 'Lady' and such? Being able to come here and eat barbecue is our honor." After saying this, he smiled and exchanged a glance with Tsunade.
"Yes, Torifu-ojisan, you are of the same generation as my teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi. If you call us 'Lady' and such, that would really be inappropriate. It's really not proper."
Tsunade quickly said, her face full of anxiety. As she spoke, she kept waving her hands, as if to emphasize the seriousness of the matter.
Akimichi Torifu looked with interest at the two people in front of him. Their movements were almost completely synchronized, as if they had rehearsed them beforehand.
He could not help but laugh, "Haha, good, good. Since you two lovebirds have chosen this uncle's barbecue restaurant, then today, this uncle will treat you two to an all-you-can-eat meal for free."
Hearing this, Uchiha Ryun and Tsunade looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.
They were just about to say something to refuse when Akimichi Torifu waved his hand to interrupt them, "Alright, alright. If an elder says it's free, then it's free. No refusing allowed. Otherwise, this uncle will get angry."
Uchiha Ryun and Tsunade helplessly smiled at each other. Faced with Akimichi Torifu's firm attitude, they knew that further refusal would be futile, so they could only nod in agreement.
