Since Sawara Kiri obtained the system, this is the first time he has gained three Emotional Entanglement points in one go.
Although the previous two times, when he unraveled shallow Mind Knots from Yuki and Megumi to gain points, were not as complicated as this time.
However, suddenly reaping such a large harvest, Sawara Kiri felt a subtle sense of unease in his heart.
"Why so many?"
He walked on the streets late at night, looking at the panel in front of him. While uneasy, he also began to think about the differences between this time and the previous ones.
The difference between Tsunade and Yuki and Megumi is very obvious.
Leaving aside age and figure for the moment.
The biggest gap is her 'strength' approaching the level of a 'Kage'.
In addition, compared to the unknown Yuki and Megumi in the original work, Lady Tsunade is one of the main characters related to the 'plot'.
Finally, there is the 'difficulty' of Sawara Kiri trying to step into her heart.
"Tch."
Sawara Kiri silently summarized in his heart, and suddenly felt that the time node he traveled through was not bad.
After remembering these details in his heart, he reopened the panel and looked at the ability and lottery interface.
«Personal Information»
«Name: Sawara Kiri»
«Age: 15»
«Talent: Photographic Memory (B), Kekkei Genkai (A)»
«Abilities: Limitless · Second Stage (S), Kyōka Suigetsu (S), Water Release (A+), Lightning Release (A+), Genjutsu (A), Taijutsu (A), Fire Release (B), Shurikenjutsu (B), Sealing Technique (C+)»
«Comprehensive Evaluation: S-»
«Emotional Entanglement Points: 3»
«System Evaluation: Is that a doujin I smell? When did that get here? No matter, I'll still go beyond anyway! Now that I have two S-rank skills, not to mention the current Five Kage, what am I afraid of even if it's Ōtsutsuki Kaguya in the moon! Ha! Go for it, even my thing is standing up, thinking about it, I know this will be his ultimate climax battle! Hmph hmph hahahaha—no no no no, stop hitting me!»
As soon as System spoke, it was still in that weak posture of being caught and beaten by anyone, mocking whoever gets beaten, but at least the person who beat it has changed from the Raikage of that year to the current Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
However, Sawara Kiri's focus was not here.
His gaze gradually moved down.
«Limitless · Second Stage»
«External Brain · Sealing Technique Specific Type (S): An external technique attached to the surface of the brain in the form of Sealing Technique, dedicated to adapting to the 'Six Eyes', activated without side effects. And it can use the 'Six Eyes' with high intensity in a short time, thus forming a small amount of 'Stopping Power'»
«Emotional Entanglement Points for Next Stage: 2»
Sawara Kiri looked at the skill column on the panel.
Limitless is now his main means of attack and defense, but the limit of only being able to launch it five times per battle makes him quite passive in protracted battles.
For him, this is the primary skill to upgrade without question.
After this defect is resolved, his strength will officially reach the relatively specific level of 'Kage-level'.
It's just that, after these two points are used up, should the remaining one be added to 'Kyōka Suigetsu', or should he draw another lottery?
Sawara Kiri's eyes kept shifting between the two, feeling a little unsure.
Just as he was thinking about it in his heart.
A familiar call suddenly sounded in his ears.
"...Kiri?"
He raised his head and saw Uchiha Megumi standing blankly at the end of the street late at night, staring straight at him with her scarlet Sharingan, her expression blank.
It was as if she had personally witnessed the person she had a crush on walking out of Sugar daddy's house late at night like a young boy.
Unfortunately, behind the young man is the gate of Senju Residence.
Sawara Kiri didn't realize the problem until now, and raised his head in confusion:
"Huh?"
The scene goes back five hours.
Uchiha Police Force, office building.
"You've worked hard."
"Everyone has worked hard."
When it was time to get off work, the Uchiha Police Force members in the building got up one after another, greeting each other and leaving the office one by one.
Uchiha Megumi is also one of the crowd.
As the captain of the third squad of the first division of the current Uchiha Police Force, Uchiha Megumi, who is already a Special Jonin, is one of the most outstanding talents of the younger generation even within the Uchiha Clan.
In addition, she has an outstanding appearance, a slender figure, and has awakened the Sharingan, so the girl has never lacked people who please and get close to her.
On this road, twos and threes of colleagues surrounded her like satellites, chatting and walking outside the building.
Uchiha Megumi was always as cold and upright as she was during the mission, unapproachable, and quite a bit of a taste of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
It wasn't until she went out the door that Miss Megumi was only left with her two friends, Rinko and Yuna, due to different paths and cold rejections.
"There's been a lot of temporary overtime in the past month... I'm about to die of exhaustion."
Uchiha Yuna said while stretching her arms vigorously.
She is a small, round potato-like person. Perhaps because she hasn't awakened her Sharingan until now, she is a very rare cheerful person in the Uchiha Clan, where domineering people gather.
However, after such a long period of overtime exploitation, Yuna couldn't help but complain to them:
"It's obviously in the Village, but everywhere is like a war."
"Those newly formed civilian Ninja associations always blow up the place where they give speeches if they are not careful."
"Every day, it's so annoying!"
"Indeed."
On the other side, the tall Uchiha Rinko is a somewhat introverted and gloomy woman, but she speaks very maturely: "However, it also reveals many problems."
"Yes."
Yuna said with a smile, "Fortunately, there is that Tsunade from Senju and Hatake Sakumo doing as backstage, otherwise those daring guys would probably have died in some corner long ago, right?"
"The world is slowly changing!"
"Yuna."
Uchiha Megumi frowned slightly and reminded: "Don't talk nonsense about the affairs of big people... Be careful of misfortune."
"Eh~!"
"Megumi-chan is too serious!"
Uchiha Yuna dragged out her voice: "By the way! Isn't your little boyfriend always following Tsunade's butt these days?"
"Are there any inside scoops?"
"Boy, boyfriend, something like that..."
Miss Megumi, who is always serious on weekdays, seemed to be a little shy by this title, her cheeks were flushed, and her voice was quite annoyed:
"Yuna!"
"That kind of question is the privacy of privacy!"
In addition, that title is actually not very appropriate.
The girl thought to herself, inadvertently turning her face away—currently, only she has unilaterally revealed her feelings.
Until now, Miss Megumi has not heard Kiri's answer.
"Eh!"
Seeing her like this, Yuna suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent, and raised her voice exaggeratedly like a monster, exaggerating: "Wait a minute, can someone block Megumi-chan's charm!"
"Yuna?!"
Miss Megumi shouted dissatisfiedly and raised her small fist to hit her.
"Hehehehe..."
Yuna ran away with a strange laugh.
It's like a drunk uncle on the street.
"By the way, Megumi."
The slightly gloomy Rinko seemed to have remembered something and hesitated.
When Uchiha Megumi turned to look at her, the introverted girl only hesitated for a moment, and out of friendship, she decided to tell the truth:
"Recently, there have been some bad things going on in the Village—it's about Tsunade and Sawara Kiri."
"Huh?"
Miss Megumi was stunned when she heard this and looked at her in confusion.
It's just that the rumors in the Village are related to her friend after all. Uchiha Rinko's original intention was to be afraid that she would be deceived, but she didn't want to destroy her relationship with her lover, so she shook her head and didn't say much:
"In short, you should pay attention to him a little."
"Eh?"
After a while, Uchiha Megumi arrived home first.
"Megumi is back?"
As soon as she walked into the entrance, her mother's call came from afar.
"Yes~"
"Go wash up quickly, it's time to eat in a while."
"Got it!"
Uchiha Megumi took off her Ninja shoes, straightened them in the entrance, stepped on the wooden floor with a pair of jade-white little feet, walked into the side room, knelt down in front of the shrine and black and white photos placed in the center, and put her hands together.
"Father, I'm back."
Megumi's family only has her and her mother. Her father died on the battlefield when she was young, but thanks to the savings he left behind during his lifetime, the Village's pension, and the corresponding support from the clan, the lives of the mother and daughter are still relatively well-off.
However, because her mother is an ordinary person, since Megumi graduated and became a Ninja, she has been in charge of the family.
After the routine worship, the girl went to the washroom to wash up.
The work of the Uchiha Police Force is not easy, especially during this recent period, when various conflicts within the Village are very intense. As a squad leader, she has to run around Konoha several times a day, and she is sweaty all over. Now her soles are wet.
But now she is just taking a simple shower. Bath time will have to wait until night—a bathtub of water is not cheap.
By the way, the shoes probably smell a bit, so I have to find time to wash them properly.
Thinking this in the washroom, after a simple wash, Miss Megumi went upstairs.
Unlock, open the door, and lock it again.
Miss Megumi's back leaned against the door.
The girl's room was completely dark, and even the spacious windows were firmly covered with thick curtains.
It was still evening, but there was not even a trace of light in the room.
However, Uchiha Megumi didn't seem to care about all this at all. She groped her way around and plunged headlong onto the soft big bed, hugging the almost life-size large doll tightly like an octopus, trying to bury her entire head in it and making cute sounds of 'Goo Wahhh Wahhh Wahhh~'.
It was as if she wanted to vent all the work pressure of the whole day.
She no longer had the serious look she had in front of others.
"I'm so tired~"
The girl hugged the big bear doll on the bed tightly, rubbed her cheeks hard on the side of the photo attached to the doll's head, and took a deep breath.
It seemed that only in this way could she replenish all the energy she had consumed today.
"Kiri."
"Kiri!"
"Kiri Kiri Kiri Kiri..."
"Goohee hee."
When she raised her head again, Miss Megumi already had a silly smile on her originally cold face.
It was as if she had changed into a different person.
Her soft cheeks rubbed against the photo on the doll.
In the photo, there is a side view of Sawara Kiri taken at a very good angle.
The girl's voice trailed with a long, suppressed emotion, softly caressing the ear:
"Today, I worked very hard too, you know."
"Kiri."
"You have to praise me properly."
Uchiha Megumi hugged the thick stuffed animal and lay on the bed, but between the opening and closing of her eyes, one could see a faint but striking flash of scarlet.
Just as Senju Tobirama had once said.
The Uchiha Clan was the most emotionally rich clan, and even the so-called Sharingan was just an outward manifestation of their emotions.
If someone could walk into the room alive, they would see that in the girl's dark room, whether it was the floor, walls, ceiling, the back of the door, or even the curtains...
Every corner within sight was densely covered with Sawara Kiri's photos.
Full body, half body, headshots.
From the young appearance when he was clearly still in the Ninja Academy, to his initial growth upon graduation, to his current youthful appearance, in various styles.
However, from the majority of angles of these photos, it could be seen that the photos were mostly taken from the back and side, where it was not easy to be noticed.
Judging from the style of clothing, the time span was even longer.
Obviously, the girl rarely had the opportunity to take one or two photos as a reward for herself, and with Sawara Kiri's vigilance, she could only occasionally take one or two photos during his unguarded daily activities.
However, with the accumulation of small amounts, these photos almost completely swallowed the entire room belonging to Miss Megumi.
Uchiha Megumi lay on the bed, her fingertips gently stroking the photo on the stuffed animal.
In the dark night, one could vaguely see a somewhat morbid smile on the girl's face.
That was a sight that was extremely difficult for anyone else to discover.
This was a secret that belonged only to the girl alone.
In fact, these things had already revealed some signs, but Sawara Kiri had not thought about it deeply.
Why, in his impression, he and Uchiha Megumi were just casual acquaintances, but when he first obtained the "Superficial Entanglement," the level of their bond was a "Three," comparable to Yuki, a family member he spent every day with.
"Why isn't there a vacation yet? When will there be a vacation! I really want a vacation! Why does someone have to cause trouble every day?"
"There's no time to see Kiri."
The girl grabbed the bear's arm, swaying it back and forth in the air, muttering softly.
After hesitating for a while, she muttered as if she was a little hesitant: "Also, what were the things Rinzi said to pay attention to?"
"Kiri, isn't he been busy dealing with the Advisor Group recently?"
"Or is it with Lady Tsunade?"
"..."
"Pfft."
"Impossible."
Thinking about it, she seemed to feel that the idea that suddenly popped up was a bit too unrealistic, and even Miss Megumi herself couldn't help but laugh.
It's a pity that even in her own home, this time belonging solely to Uchiha Megumi was not very long.
Before long, her mother's call came from downstairs:
"Megumi~",
"It's time for dinner."
Almost like a change of face, the girl suddenly straightened up from the bed, and all the expressions on her face were restrained, as if they had never existed.
As long as she walked out of this room, she would still be the aloof, arrogant, and rigid Uchiha Megumi, who often kept people at a distance.
"Ara?"
Just as she stepped out of the room.
"Shoo shoo—"
Under the slightly dim night outside, two yellow and red signal flares faintly streaked across the sky.
That was the Village's emergency call signal.
The work efficiency of the Uchiha was as consistent as ever.
By the time even their people arrived to clean up the mess, all sorts of things that should and shouldn't have happened had already ended.
The day was over.
But there was nothing to be done, the entire Konoha Village was so big, and the Uchiha Police Force only had more than two hundred people in total. Just the road and gathering people was enough to take several minutes. No one could blame them.
It's just that...
"What an exaggerated destructive force."
"Clearly, it's in the Village."
Uchiha Megumi squinted her eyes and looked at the street that had been mostly destroyed.
It was as if an entire Ninjutsu squadron had bombed it with all their strength.
Because the incident happened in the Village, there were still many onlookers gathered around, and even now, people were still talking about the battle between the strong that they had just seen.
The primary purpose of the Uchiha Police Force's arrival in the vicinity was to maintain order in the vicinity and prevent anyone from taking this opportunity to do anything big.
Uchiha Megumi was also one of them.
Precisely because she was in this environment, even while maintaining order, all kinds of voices kept entering her ears.
"To be honest, it's the first time I've ever seen someone complete a combined attack with four types of Release Ninjutsu at the same time."
The person speaking in the crowd was a square-faced Chunin, surrounded by many listeners. His tone was quite emotional: "You know, the nature of different Release Ninjutsu is extremely contradictory and intense. Generally, only two types of Release Ninjutsu can guarantee the power of the composite release."
"The simultaneous release of multiple Release Ninjutsu, without affecting each other, is the famous masterpiece that even our Lord Third is proud of."
"I never thought it would appear in the hands of an outsider."
"If it were an ordinary person, they would die if they were hit once, and even their ashes would be gone."
The surrounding people listened to his explanation, and whether they were ordinary civilians or Ninja, they all looked like they had opened their eyes.
However, the square-faced Chunin said in an extremely exaggerated tone:
"But, that young man didn't even dodge just now, and took that move head-on!"
"When he rushed out, even his clothes weren't broken. With a whoosh, he killed the person."
"Do you know who that person is?"
The square-faced Chunin whetted their appetites, wanting to praise before suppressing.
However, under the urging of the surrounding people, he quickly revealed the truth:
"Don't know, right? That's Sawara Kiri, the Jonin who was promoted not long ago. He's only fifteen years old this year."
"I heard that he's also Lady Tsunade's lover!"
"Ooh—!!"
This explosive news immediately aroused the hearts of everyone around.
Ordinary people were simply more interested in the private lives of the big figures who were usually high above them.
"Didn't expect that, right?"
The square-faced Chunin was still talking, spitting everywhere: "When he was attacked, he was going to the Senju Residence! When those Anbu checked the traces before, they also saw a purple mood-brand stick on the ground."
"I saw it with my own eyes. It was squeaking. So thick, so long! It must be at least half a meter long."
"I swear to Amaterasu!"
"Think about it, otherwise, how could he, who came from a civilian background, have so many secrets..."
The previous sentence had just landed.
The square-faced Chunin swayed, and his whole body was suddenly violently pulled out of the crowd by the collar, his feet almost floating in the air.
This sudden yank made him stunned.
When he frowned and raised his head, he suddenly met a pair of scarlet Sharingan, and he was immediately stunned.
"You."
"What did you just say?"
Thus, there was the current scene.
"Rustle."
The streets were silent and deserted late at night.
Even Uchiha Megumi herself didn't notice that the pupils in her eyes had changed under the extreme emotions, and the two tomoe were rotating at high speed like a roulette.
She stepped towards the young man step by step, staring straight at him.
Sawara Kiri, who didn't know that his reputation had been harmed, still looked somewhat dazed.
"Megumi?"
"Why are you here?"
However, before he could say anything more, he saw Megumi's slender figure suddenly approaching very closely, pressing him against the wall on the street.
Immediately following, the girl's entire cheek was almost buried in his arms.
"Me, Megumi??"
In the next moment, she suddenly smelled him vigorously.
Sawara Kiri immediately had a head full of small question marks.
Instead, Sister System popped up again.
「Die!」
「That woman is pressing Sawara Kiri against the wall, she must be forcing him to go back and work hard as a star!」
「Kiri! Resist, resist quickly!」
「A knight who doesn't resist has no flavor at all. Look, she's not moving!」
His damned dog System, why is your imagination so good.
People's emotions are not connected, Sawara Kiri only felt that Sister System was noisy at this time.
Miss Megumi was still frowning.
The smell of alcohol, barbecue, and a little bit of blood.
The woman's scent was very faint, at most a little gardenia fragrance.
This made her feel slightly relieved.
But, just as she thought this, her heart suddenly rose again—those scarlet Sharingan, with their excellent night vision, discovered a strand of golden hair sticking to the clothes on his chest.
Miss Megumi's heart suddenly sounded a big alarm.
The girl vigilantly raised her head, pressing Sawara Kiri against the wall, her chest pressed against his ribs, trapping him tightly in this small space, her expression extremely wary.
Tonight, he had no way to escape.
"Kiri!"
After pondering for a long time.
Miss Megumi stared straight at him, her expression more serious than ever, and asked in an extremely solemn tone:
"Did you do it?"
"..."
"Ah?"
