[This night, both you and Tenten grew.]
[Ding, you and Tenten became lovers.]
Nojuro Ryun was momentarily both amused and exasperated.
He had lingered at Tenten's house for eight years in the simulation, had created so many new-era ninja tools for Tenten, and had probably expressed his feelings to Tenten many times during that period.
Yet, Tenten still needed to be drunk before establishing a relationship with Nojuro Ryun. Regarding this, Nojuro Ryun could only sigh: Could Tenten be very slow when it comes to matters of the heart?
The simulation continued, but the subsequent simulation content made Nojuro Ryun even more amused.
[You experienced a four-month honeymoon period, during which you forgot about writing and designing ninja tools, and Tenten forgot about managing the ninja tool shop.]
[It wasn't until Tenten's mother noticed Tenten's pregnancy was showing that your affair became known to Tenten's family.]
[Arranged by Tenten's parents, you got married at lightning speed within a week, finally preserving the dignity of Tenten's family.]
[Ding, you and Tenten became husband and wife.]
[Konoha year 71, the perfect ninja tool embodying the efforts and love of you both, Nojuro Tenten, was born.]
[Congratulations, simulation successful!]
[Calculating the bloodline talent power of Nojuro Tenten. Please wait a moment.]
Ryun looked at the four characters "Nojuro Tenten", his thoughts in turmoil.
These characters seemed to possess a kind of magic, making Ryun unable to help but imagine what she might actually look like.
But before Ryun could mentally blend his own and Tenten's appearances, a new line of text had already appeared.
[Congratulations, a great simulation success! Nojuro Tenten completely inherited Tenten's talent, possessing Jonin-level potential.]
[To facilitate the host's understanding, her talent is specially displayed according to the rules of this world. The detailed values are as follows.]
[Ninjutsu 6, Taijutsu 7, Genjutsu 3, Intelligence 7, Strength 3, Speed 7, Spirit 4, Hand Seal 4.]
[Store the simulation result and use this bloodline talent template as the simulation reward?]
[Please note, you can currently only store 1 simulation result. Storage capacity is positively correlated with your mental energy.]
Ryun chose yes without hesitation.
Although the system's rules seemed to still have some room for interpretation, right now he only wanted the talent that could allow him to become a ninja.
[Ding, bloodline talent power being issued. Estimated duration ten minutes.]
A strange, tingling numbness overflowed from within Ryun's mind, causing Ryun's entire body to tense up as if electrified.
He instinctively wanted to cry out, but reason made him bite the quilt, thus forcing himself not to make a sound.
Ryun did not want to expose the abnormality on his body. If he did, he would most likely be captured into the Torture and Interrogation Force as soon as he left the hospital.
Finally, ten minutes passed.
Ryun slowly opened his mouth, feeling almost completely exhausted.
Yet he smiled.
As he operated the introductory chakra refinement method taught back at the ninja academy, a faint, elusive power began to circulate within his meridians.
Although weak, it made Ryun feel his strength had at least doubled.
This was the power of chakra!
From now on, he was no longer an ordinary person!
Perhaps Ryun still needed diligent study and hard training to become a ninja, as he had only obtained bloodline talent, not a ninja's actual strength. But a life with hope was already a hundred times better than a life of despair.
And so, Ryun relaxed his spirit, entered dreamland with a smile, and did not even see the newly appeared character prompt.
When he woke up again, a pair of bright, lively eyes was curiously looking at him.
"Wow!"
Seeing Ryun wake up, Tenten was startled, hurriedly stepping back, only for her lower back to bump against the corner of the table.
"Ouch ouch ouch!"
Tenten's face turned pale and then green, holding her lower back and rubbing it, all the while stealing glances at Ryun from the corner of her eye.
This awkwardness even moistened the corners of her eyes.
Ryun looked at the towel in Tenten's hand, took it, and covered his face with it.
The towel was warm, obviously prepared by Tenten to wipe his face.
As for Tenten taking the chance to look at Ryun's face up close... that was a girl's unspeakable little thoughts.
By the time Ryun took the towel off his face, she had already transformed into a proud Genin, chin raised, hands on hips.
"Since you're fine, I'll be leaving soon."
Ryun was just about to say something, when Tenten extended a finger, gently shaking it.
This gesture had quite a bit of Guy's bearing.
"No need to ask my name, no need to worry about what happens next."
"I've advanced the medical fees for you, and the two people who hurt you will also be thrown in jail."
"What you need to do is rest well, recover, live properly after being discharged, understand?"
Ryun was silent for a moment, then, under Tenten's surprised gaze, actually shook his head.
"Huh? Was I not clear enough, or do you still have something you need my help with?"
Ryun said calmly, "Repaying kindness is my life principle. So please tell me your name. I will formally visit to express my thanks."
Now Tenten got a bit nervous, waving her hands repeatedly, saying, "No need for all that trouble, really, it was just a small effort..."
"Even if you don't tell me, I'll ask the doctors and nurses for information about you. They definitely know you, right?"
Tenten opened her mouth, realized she couldn't really hide it, and could only tell Ryun her information.
Afterwards, Tenten even enthusiastically told Ryun who the members of Team 3 were.
After all, saving Ryun was something their whole team did. Tenten didn't want to monopolize the credit.
Finally, Tenten left, using the excuse of needing rest.
Ryun watched Tenten's retreating, stretching back, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
He knew they would meet again soon. The conversation just now was also preparation for meeting again.
Although Ryun wouldn't actually linger at Tenten's house indefinitely in reality, since he now had the life experience of a successful simulation, relying on Tenten's family to gain a firm foothold in Konoha became a quite viable option.
Besides, Ryun still had to consider how to obtain simulation attempts later, didn't he?
He had some ideas in his mind. As for whether they would work, that would have to wait until after he was discharged.
Next, Ryun was just about to continue refining chakra.
But he noticed the line of text prompt at the bottom of his vision that he had missed last night.
[Ding, bloodline power issuance completed. Simulation result stored.]
[Before this result is replaced, the host can check the simulation details at any time.]
Ryun instantly felt his mind go blank... Was this line of text what he thought it was?
If it was... he might have to overturn his previous plan.
Ryun focused his thoughts, and the icon resembling a photo frame that followed immediately after the text was opened.
Organized by year, photographs and segments of text documentation unfolded before Ryun's eyes.
