"Whew, last night… was it a dream? My body..." Lin Yu sat up and looked at his hands, then pinched his body. Although there was no outward change, his physical fitness was more than ten times stronger than yesterday.
Even though he was from the Uzumaki clan, Lin Yu's physique was much stronger than that of an ordinary person, but it was like Uchiha Itachi's three-tomoe Sharingan and an ordinary Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan. Although both were three-tomoe, their eye power was vastly different. Lin Yu's physique was also in the lower-middle range for the Uzumaki clan.
"Beginner Sage Body, Kagura Shingan, and Sharingan..." Lin Yu looked at the text in his mind, slightly surprised but not feeling it was too out of place.
He was already a product of the union of the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans, and an illegitimate child. Fortunately, the Uzumaki clan did not possess the arrogance and prejudice of the Uchiha. Although Lin Yu was not favored in the clan, he did not suffer much disdain.
His parents had both died in the war, and within the clan, only Uzumaki Kushina, who was also an orphan, kept him company.
Lin Yu gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, three black tomoe adorned his blood-red pupils, enchanting and eerie.
Whew, now he finally had some self-preservation ability.
In the future, he would find some opportunities to use the Sharingan to copy some ninjutsu. He was just too poor, and he had a gluttonous younger sister to support, so Lin Yu chose the freebie route. Although it was dangerous, it was worth the risk!
"Let's see what other functions this system has. By the way, don't other seniors' systems usually beep or boop with a cold robotic voice? Why is mine purely text? Is it defective? No wonder I fainted last night. They dare to deceive a transmigrator with a second-hand product. Two stars, two stars!"
Lin Yu suppressed his internal complaints and flipped through the text in his mind.
Monthly Tasks:
Task 1: Obtain a title from Hanzō of the Salamander (Time limit: two months).
Reward: Two hours of free trial of Rinnegan (can be frozen).
Task 2: Obtain Sarutobi Hiruzen's agreement to go to the Land of Rain battlefield.
Reward: Adamantine Sealing Chains and Four Symbols Seal.
Task 3: Spin around while holding Kushina.
Reward: Mastered Shurikenjutsu.
Warm Tip: Three random tasks will be refreshed monthly. Uncompleted tasks will be stored in the cumulative task list and can be claimed upon completion. Accumulating ten tasks will result in the random permanent elimination of one of the host's primary abilities (such as Sage Body, Sharingan, etc.). If a timed task fails, one of the host's primary abilities will be permanently eliminated immediately.
Whew, after reading the text in his mind, Lin Yu slowly let out a breath to calm himself. If it weren't for the peaceful and approachable mindset he had maintained for the past four years, he would have already turned into an Anzu-level rager.
This damn task system, not to mention obtaining a title from the "Demigod" of the ninja world within two months, but the second task of getting Sarutobi Hiruzen to agree to go to the Land of Rain battlefield was already a hell-level difficulty.
First, himself. Besides the basic jutsu, he knew no other ninjutsu. The basic jutsu were taught to him by Kushina after she learned them from the ninja academy. His combat experience was practically zero.
He would be a sure-fire cannon fodder on the battlefield, not even a grunt.
Should he expose his Kagura Shingan and be a scout? Or tell Sarutobi Hiruzen that he had awakened the Sharingan and wanted to copy some ninjutsu, so he could arrange for hundreds of ninjas to perform their ninjutsu in front of him one after another.
This would lead to him being dissected by Danzō in minutes. At best, he would be confined to Konoha Village. Sharingan plus Sage Body, this was clearly the prime candidate for a Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.
Then the timed missions would be impossible to complete, and he would be confined to the village forever. If he drew a mission that required him to leave the village, his life would truly be dark.
Fortunately, there was one consolation task: spinning around while holding Kushina. Was this like giving a slap and then a sweet pastry? If only there were more of these daily tasks, we could all hide until we were invincible and then go out, taking down Madara with one kick and Ōtsutsuki with one punch!
Lin Yu put away his complaining thoughts. Since the tasks were set, Lin Yu had accepted reality. If he couldn't hide until he was invincible, then he would develop stealthily and not take risks…
He tidied himself up and went down to the living room, which was also a small clinic. Konoha had assigned them a two-story small house. The second floor had two bedrooms and a living room, while the first floor had a kitchen, a living room, a storage room, and a toilet. It was relatively decent.
The living room was where patients were seen. There was a small sofa, a reclining chair, and a stool. The storage room was filled with medicinal herbs.
Lin Yu looked around and didn't see Kushina. He slapped his head, almost forgetting that today was the day of the final exam. All because of that damn second-hand system!
System: ???
On the clean, old wooden table sat two steamed buns emitting wisps of heat. Next to them was a small note: For the big lazy brother Lin Yu (big smiley face)!
Looking at the cute emoticon at the end, Lin Yu's lips curved upwards. This girl could always stir up a sense of warmth in his heart.
This made him even more determined to become stronger! If the little sun, Namikaze Minato, couldn't protect you, then I, Uzumaki Lin Yu, will never let you suffer any harm again!
He quickly stuffed the buns into his mouth, finished them, closed the roll-up door, hung up the "Closed for Business" sign, and walked towards the bustling street.
Lin Yu first went to a daily necessities store, then went to the Yuhi family to visit Kurenai. He didn't see Uncle Yuhi Shinrō; a woman was gently rocking Kurenai.
After checking Kurenai's body and finding no major issues, he played with her for a bit before bidding farewell and heading towards Konoha Hospital.
"Young Lin Yu is here to learn medical knowledge again, so diligent."
"That's for sure. If my son could be half as diligent as Lin Yu, I'd be incredibly lucky."
"Alas, it's a shame Lin Yu isn't a ninja and can't learn medical ninjutsu. Otherwise, your little clinic would probably be packed, especially since the prices are cheap."
"Hush! Don't speak nonsense. If young Lin Yu becomes a ninja, he'll have to go to the battlefield. Then..."
"Alas, that's true. War, huh..."
Lin Yu smiled gently and greeted the villagers around him. Over the past four years, his approachable demeanor and willingness to help had been noticed by them. They had already tagged him as "good guy" and "someone easy to bully."
As long as it didn't involve personal matters or money, Lin Yu was happy to help. Sometimes, he even played the role of Obito and helped old ladies cross the street.
"Lin Yu, here to learn medicine again? You're such a diligent boy."
"Once I've learned, Teacher, I'll have to trouble you again!"
"You don't know trouble. It's been two or three years, and you've been coming to the hospital all the time. Youth is wonderful, with such motivation. Come on, today I'll take you to see the intensive care unit." Kusaka Gakusei pushed his glasses up his nose. A slight smile appeared on his serious and earnest face. He was very optimistic about this hardworking and diligent young man.
"I'm troubling you again today. Thank you for your trouble." Kusaka Gakusei was one of the attending physicians at Konoha Hospital, possessing extensive medical knowledge and mastering advanced ninjutsu like the Mystical Palm Technique, which was one of Lin Yu's goals.
After following Kusaka Gakusei to inspect the intensive care unit, it was already afternoon. Kusaka Gakusei patted Lin Yu's shoulder and rubbed his tired eyes, saying, "That's all for today. Did you remember everything I taught you?"
"Yes! I remembered everything, Teacher Gakusei. Thank you for your trouble. You should go rest."
"I..."
"Doctor! Doctor! Quickly, Chunin Matsushita is dying! He needs surgery immediately!" An urgent cry interrupted Kusaka Gakusei. Several nurses pushed a gurney, on which lay a middle-aged man covered in blood. There were crisscrossing wounds all over his body, burns on his legs, and the most severe was a knife wound on his chest, deep enough to the bone, with half of his heart vaguely visible!
Kusaka Gakusei had no time for further words and quickly put on a surgical gown and entered the emergency room. Green light emanated from his hands as he carefully treated the wound on the heart. Large beads of sweat dripped from his face, and a nearby nurse would gently wipe them away.
After a while, the green light in Kusaka Gakusei's hand disappeared, and he panted.
After a while, Kusaka Gakusei calmed down and said to the nurse next to him, "Alright, the patient's condition has stabilized. Now, with medication and medical techniques, he will slowly recover."
After Kusaka Gakusei gave the necessary instructions, he turned and walked towards Lin Yu. He didn't mind that Lin Yu had followed him into the emergency room. He heavily patted Lin Yu's shoulder and sighed, "See, the ninja world is cruel. Ordinary medical techniques are useless against such injuries, and it's difficult to even save a life. Work hard, young man!"
"I understand! I will study even harder!"
"You... alright. By the way, why are you wearing goggles today?"
"Ah? This... Kushina got angry and punched me, so one eye became a panda eye..."
"Pfft ha ha... That girl can be quite troublesome sometimes."
After bidding farewell to Kusaka Gakusei, Lin Yu hung the goggles on his fiery red hair, humming a tuneless song.
"Mystical Palm Technique acquired! Time to pick up Kushina from school!"
