Huh?
Ruoza froze on the spot, then his face flushed bright red.
"System… you're actually a pretty decent guy!"
[This System merely understands human nature.]
"Ahem…"
Ruoza coughed twice, a little awkwardly.
Although he shared certain… refined tastes with Cao Cao, he wasn't exactly in a rush.
"System, can I ask you something?"
[Do you wish to learn about this System's functions?]
"Yes!"
Ruoza nodded emphatically.
Rule number one of transmigration survival:
A qualified transmigrator must fully understand their own System.
This was the most basic—and most important—principle.
[This System is known as the Strongest Prestige System.]
[The host may continuously increase prestige through actions such as expanding influence and winning over exceptional kunoichi, thereby exchanging prestige for various rewards.]
[During this process, the System will also issue small missions to accelerate the host's growth.]
[That concludes the explanation.]
Strongest Prestige System?
Expanding influence? Winning over exceptional kunoichi?
A wicked smile crept onto Ruoza's face.
"I'm not particularly interested in expanding influence or anything like that."
"But winning over beautiful kunoichi?"
"I'm very interested. Extremely interested."
[Knowing the host's fondness for beautiful women, I specifically included this feature.]
"…Ah?"
Hearing that, Ruoza felt his eyes grow misty.
"System… no, System Ancestor—you're basically my savior in this world!"
[This System exists to serve the host. All priorities are set for your benefit.]
[As long as it lies within my capabilities, I have only two words for the host's requests.]
"Oh? Which two words?"
[Will do.]
"Good System! A truly peerless System!"
Ruoza almost felt like bowing on the spot.
To run into a System this considerate—he sincerely hoped every reader out there could get one. It was simply incredible.
"Oh right, do we have a status panel or something?"
[Please wait a moment. I'll create one for you.]
"…Damn, I'm actually touched."
Ruoza nearly teared up.
Whether a status panel existed or not wasn't the point—the key was that the System cared.
Unlike certain Systems that started by restricting you here, deducting things there, acting like some black-hearted boss—stingy and oppressive from the very beginning.
[Creation complete.]
As the voice fell, a translucent status panel appeared before Ruoza's eyes.
[Host: Uchiha Ruoza]
[Strength: Chūnin]
[Identity: High-ranking member of the Uchiha Clan]
[Abilities: Sharingan (Two-Tomoe), Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu, Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu]
[Sphere of Influence: Uchiha Clan]
[Subordinates: Three Thousand Jōnin]
[Prestige Points: 6]
"I'm actually considered a high-ranking Uchiha member…"
Ruoza was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
In all of Konoha's Uchiha Clan, only he and Sasuke were left. Of course he counted as high-ranking.
Frankly speaking, even if he picked up a random stray dog, it would probably be honored as a Clan-Guarding Divine Beast.
"Three thousand Jōnin…"
A thought crossed his mind, and his expression shifted slightly.
"Wait—System, this isn't some kind of wordplay, is it?"
"Don't tell me that Longsword Jōnin's name is actually 'Three Thousand'?"
[That was originally the case, but I assumed you wouldn't like it, so I maximized the configuration.]
[A genuine three thousand Jōnin. Not one more, not one less.]
…It really worked like that?
Ruoza was completely dumbfounded.
"Then… can I summon all of them?"
[Yes. Each summon originally required 1,000 prestige points per Jōnin.]
One thousand prestige points?!
Ruoza almost cursed out loud.
But before he could complain, the System spoke again.
[I anticipated your dissatisfaction and have already adjusted it to the lowest possible setting.]
[Now, one prestige point can summon one Jōnin.]
[This is the absolute limit of my modification authority. Host… you won't blame me, will you?]
The System's tone sounded oddly pitiful.
…So it could be operated like this?
Ruoza stared blankly, then quickly recovered and reassured it.
"Haha, you've already done amazing. How could I possibly be upset?"
[Thank you, host. You're very kind.]
Ruoza smiled.
This System was flawless in his eyes—how could he not be satisfied?
"Open the shop."
Rows of items instantly appeared before his eyes, dazzling and overwhelming.
A-rank Ninjutsu Scrolls.
S-rank Sealing Scrolls.
The Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths.
Bloodline Limits. Bloodline Selection Options.
Max-level Byakugan.
Mangekyō Sharingan.
Rinnegan.
Every single item was top-tier.
Throw any one of these into the shinobi world, and it would trigger a bloody storm.
Ruoza stared greedily—then his expression froze when he saw the prices.
An A-rank scroll: 100 prestige points.
An S-rank scroll: 1,500 prestige points.
Mangekyō Sharingan: 10,000 prestige points.
"Good lord… these prices are straight-up lethal."
"System, can these be adjusted to the lowest price too?"
Ruoza asked tentatively.
This System had already been incredibly good to him—anyone with a sense of shame wouldn't dare ask for more.
Unfortunately, shame wasn't exactly Ruoza's strong suit.
[I've submitted multiple requests, but all were rejected. T﹏T]
"…Alright, forget it."
Ruoza smiled wryly.
[However, host, I did secure a discount on one item for you.]
[There's only one, but I believe you'll like it.]
"Let me see."
He searched the shop and soon found the discounted item.
"A Beginner Chakra Pill?"
"It increases the amount of chakra in the body… not bad, a solid item."
"The original price was 10 prestige points each, but now it's 90% off?"
"Only 1 prestige point?"
Ruoza smiled.
"Good stuff. Exchange for three."
After confirming the purchase, three dark yellow wax pills appeared in his palm.
Gulp.
He swallowed all three at once and immediately sat down to meditate.
A powerful surge of chakra erupted within his body.
Two minutes later—
Ruoza stood up, pleasantly surprised.
"These chakra pills are impressive… they actually helped me break through."
"My current chakra reserves are roughly at the level of a Special Jōnin."
Unfortunately, the discount was limited—he could only buy three.
"Looks like I'll need to rack up more prestige points."
"At this rate, even reaching Kage-level won't be a problem."
After settling his thoughts, Ruoza suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"Oh right, System… about that—"
Before he could finish, the System responded automatically.
[It has already been delivered to the special space. The host may retrieve it at any time.]
…Considerate.
Ruoza chuckled and retrieved it.
The moment he did, his eyes widened.
"It's her…"
Before him stood a woman with a striking figure—graceful curves, perfectly proportioned, breathtaking at first glance.
She wore a tight leather outfit that accentuated her form. Her expression was cool, her eyes alluring, and her slightly flushed cheeks added an irresistible charm that made one's heart race.
"Hello…"
She bowed respectfully.
Ruoza felt his knees nearly give out.
[Host, there is a vacant house five hundred meters ahead. I have already set up a barrier—it is completely safe.]
Hearing this, Ruoza couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"Honestly, System… you're making this really hard on me."
