Naruto: I no longer have the money to protect Konoha Chapter 004

“System, open my panel.”

Uchiha Chigetsu said in his mind.

[Yes!]

[Host Personal Panel (Current Annual Card Remaining Time: 365 days)]

[Name: Uchiha Chigetsu]

[Age: 6]

[Ninjutsu: Apprentice Tier 2 ( 350/500)]

[Taijutsu: Apprentice Tier 2 ( 100/500)]

[Genjutsu: Genin Tier 1 ( 200/1000)]

[Owned Ninja Cards: None]

[Summoning Beast: None]

[Secret Scrolls: None]

[Special Ninja Tools/Equipment: None]

[Kekkei Genkai: Uchiha Clan Single Sharingan]

[Chakra Nature Development: Fire (Level 2), Wind (Level 1), Lightning (Level 1)]

[Special Talent: Meticulous Observation]

[Note 1: Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu are related to Chakra, Physique, and Spirit respectively.]

[Note 2: Due to the Sharingan, the host possesses the Meticulous Observation talent. Your observational ability and dynamic vision will be stronger.]

[Note 3: The maximum level for Chakra Nature Development is Level 200.]

“So weak…”

Uchiha Chigetsu’s mouth twitched slightly.

Was he really that weak?

Being six years old and not yet invincible in the ninja world was truly an embarrassment for a transmigrator.

Looking at the entire panel, the only thing that was somewhat presentable was his Genjutsu ability.

But this didn’t mean Uchiha Chigetsu’s Genjutsu was excellent; it had merely reached the strength of a Genin.

And this was due to having the Sharingan.

As is well known, this is a unique talent of the Uchiha clan.

After activating the Sharingan, one’s spiritual power experiences a surge.

Chigetsu then asked the system a few more questions.

For example, there were only three tiers for Apprentice, similar to ranks in a game.

Once all three categories reached Genin, it meant one could be considered a normal Genin.

And this maximum level 200 for Chakra development…

[Uchiha Madara, an S-rank ninja, has Fire Nature development at Level 199!]

[Host, what are you waiting for? Get stronger quickly!]

“How do I get stronger?”

Uchiha Chigetsu pressed down firmly on the silver coins on the table, trying to awaken the system’s conscience.

The next second, the system automatically popped up a recharge interface.

Six taels, eighteen taels, thirty taels, sixty-eight taels, one hundred twenty-eight taels, one hundred ninety-eight taels, three hundred twenty-eight taels, six hundred forty-eight taels, one thousand taels…

There were also a few grayed-out options for three thousand taels, ten thousand taels, and so on.

Immediately after, a tutorial-like instruction box appeared.

It showed Uchiha Madara holding an Uchiha fan, pointing at the “one thousand taels” recharge option.

“Youngster, click here to embark on the path to becoming stronger.”

A dialogue box popped up.

Damn it! I’m going for it!

My Madara-sama wouldn’t lie to me, would he?!

Silver coins – 970…

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successful recharge!]

[First-time silver coin recharge will grant double the amount.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on receiving the First Recharge Gift Pack! It has been stored in your inventory!]

After recharging, it was like truly having gone through with it; regret surged in his heart.

The normal income of a ninja was too low…

According to a normal ninja’s income, a Chunin could take B- and C-rank missions.

For missions of this level, the average payout was around fifty to sixty thousand taels per trip.

Combined with a normal ninja’s capabilities, they could at most earn one hundred thousand taels a month.

Even the highest-level S-rank missions only offered around one million taels in reward.

While this income seemed fantastical compared to the daily expenses of civilians and ordinary people, please don’t forget—

A single kunai cost over a thousand taels, and shurikens, which were thrown as if they cost nothing, were two hundred taels each…

And then there were explosive tags, military rations pills…

The prices of various ninja tools were not low.

These were all necessities for a ninja.

My money!

[Ding! Host’s current silver coin balance: 2000 taels]

[Congratulations, Host, on unlocking a new function: Konoha Training Ground!]

“Check function.”

The next second, all information about the Konoha Training Ground appeared in his mind.

It didn’t provide a training ground for Uchiha Chigetsu, but rather a buff that granted cultivation bonuses.

For example, the lowest-level double cultivation experience cost one hundred taels to activate once.

[There’s nothing the Host can’t imagine, only what the System can’t do! You wish, I do!]

Hmm, good, good!

With enough silver coins recharged, even a hundredfold, thousandfold, or even ten-thousandfold cultivation experience was possible.

But…

Double experience already cost a hundred taels to activate, and triple was a terrifying five hundred taels!

System! My money was earned honestly; whose legitimate money is so easy to come by?!

[Youngster, please quickly spend one thousand silver taels to unlock the First Recharge Gift Pack!]

The Madara-sama in the image moved, raising his Uchiha fan, looking incredibly domineering.

“I have to spend another thousand taels, don’t I?”

Uchiha Chigetsu felt a little dizzy.

Could a person like him truly afford this system?

Uchiha Chigetsu took a deep breath, and after a moment of calm, he clicked on his inventory.

[Insufficient permission, please purchase “Inventory Use Permission” ( 500 silver taels)]

[Inventory Use Permission: Allows you to carry items with you and use items in your inventory at any time according to your will.]

My… mother…

Uchiha Chigetsu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

I have to pay to open my inventory?!

Isn’t this my inventory?!

[Would you like to unlock it?]

“Unlock!”

Uchiha Chigetsu said through gritted teeth.

[Ding! Inventory unlocked successfully!]

The inventory interface now only had 3x 3, nine slots.

As expected, with this trashy system’s nature, unlocking more slots later would probably cost money too.

The first of the nine slots was a dazzling golden gift box.

Below it was a small line of text:

[First Recharge Gift Pack]

[Contents: Secret Scroll – Sky Cleaver, Advanced Recruitment Ticket * 3]

[Please spend 500/1000 silver taels to unlock this gift pack.]

Seeing the items inside the gift pack, Uchiha Chigetsu felt completely unwell.

“Tell me, how much do I need to recharge for the recruitment function?”

Uchiha Chigetsu asked with a hoarse voice.

[Host, that’s not right!]

[The recruitment function doesn’t require recharging.]

“? You’re that kind?”

[Spend a total of 5000 silver taels, and you can unlock the recruitment function!]

Pfft!

Not only do I have to recharge, but I also have to spend it all?!

Uchiha Chigetsu shakily stood up.

Good news, I transmigrated to the Naruto world and have a system.

Bad news, this system is going to be the death of me.

“Let’s try the triple training effect first.”

Uchiha Chigetsu calmed down for a long time, then let out a sigh and walked out of his room.

His house was quite large, with a small rock garden and close to a river.

Although it was in the center of the clan, who said the center of the clan was really the center of the clan?

This “clan center” was simply because Chigetsu’s next-door neighbor was the current Uchiha clan head’s family.

At first glance, it might not sound familiar, but in reality…

That family had a twelve-year-old boy named Uchiha Fugaku.

This one wasn’t the later clan head; currently, he was just a genius of the Uchiha clan.

He was said to have awakened his single Sharingan recently, and his promotion to Chunin was already a certainty.

He was hailed as a genius that the Uchiha clan only produced once every ten years.

Cultivation begins!

System, I want to perform a triple-experience cultivation!

[Ding! 500 silver taels successfully consumed.]

[This triple cultivation effect will last for: 4 hours.]

[To encourage efficient use of time and a balanced cultivation mode, each cultivation session must not exceed 4 hours.]

[Otherwise, it will be considered fatigued cultivation…]

“Speak human.”

[One enhanced cultivation session lasts a maximum of four hours. Exceeding that time will incur extra charges. Any remaining time will not be refunded or saved.]

“Get lost.”

[Understood!]
