Chapter 0008: A Grand Gesture

Lucky newcomer, perhaps you are unaware of the identity of that underachiever you were previously acquainted with, but I can clearly tell you that he will become a Jonin of Konoha in the future. Although his strength will be at the bottom among the Jonin due to only being able to use taijutsu, he will undoubtedly be a significant figure to look up to

Indeed, the original success rate was around 80%. With the addition of an elite expert like you, it can now be ensured to reach 100%. The benefits you will receive after the successful completion will also be astonishing!

If that is the case, I have no objections. If I am dissatisfied with your allocation and choose to withdraw, I will have to submit 1,000 points to the space as a penalty. If there is a leak to individuals outside of those who are informed, then ten times the amount will be deducted. Once the task is completed, you are to provide me with a proportional reward based on my contribution.

You need not worry that we will pry into your secrets; in the task space, there are many elites who have gained more powerful abilities and greater benefits than you in their first tasks. Everyone has their own secrets, and when faced with such individuals, our first choice is undoubtedly cooperation

Xu Yue still wore an expression of disbelief towards them, a haughty demeanor that vividly displayed the sudden surge of power she had gained

Upon hearing the other party's words, Xu Yue felt somewhat surprised. Automatically filtering out the evaluation of being 'at the bottom among the upper ninjas,' he also formed a new judgment regarding certain aspects of the task space

Byakugan! One of the most outstanding bloodline limits in Naruto, its abilities in reconnaissance and insight surpass those of the Sharingan. It offers comprehensive, unobstructed wide-range surveillance and the capability to see the flow of chakra within the body, allowing for precise acupuncture techniques. It can be said that if it were not for the poor ninjutsu and genjutsu of the Hyuga clan, which makes them vulnerable to targeting, their achievements would truly be far greater.

Ninja

Xiong Tao felt a flicker of disdain in his heart towards the suddenly empowered upstart, considering it merely a small stroke of luck for a newcomer, and how could it possibly compare to the gains that he and his peers had schemed for so long

As soon as the thought in Xu Yue's mind had just emerged, the cold and stern lower ninja over there spoke in a tone of powerful confidence

In the end, it was that stern and seasoned lower ninja with extensive experience who proposed a commendable contract plan

At this moment, the bear Tao, who had been constantly overshadowed, finally jumped out to speak, attempting to win over the cold and stern lower ninja, while he put forth his demands, embodying the typical roles of the tough guy and the softie.

I see, this task space is not solely occupied by a few newcomers executing tasks, but rather it has utilized a special method to escape from the original tasks and return to the village

A cold and somewhat aloof voice emerged from the lips of the stern man, startling everyone present, and soon many newcomers displayed expressions of jealousy on their faces

One thousand points is a punishment that, for this arrogant young man, is affordable after the completion of the task but still sufficiently painful. As long as it does not truly lead to his demise, he will certainly not choose to exit in a way that harms others without benefiting himself, especially since there are no overt coercive constraints in place.

However, based on the information previously disclosed by the commentator and in conjunction with the rules of the space, this individual's strength should be at the level of an ordinary lower ninja; otherwise, the difficulty of interaction between the two parties would be significantly greater

This individual seems to have specifically gathered intelligence on this task space, but judging by the fact that he has not attempted to improve his favorability, it can be inferred that after the initial period, even if he wishes to enhance his favorability, he will likely need to find suitable reasons and excuses, and it is even possible that returning to the village will come at a cost

While speaking, Xu Yue completed the contract on his own and provided it to them for their verification, displaying an attitude as if he looked down upon taking advantage of their 100 points

Automatically disregarding the other person's remark that "there are many who gain more benefits than you," Xu Yue began to take a slight interest in their intentions.

Rest assured, it is not a life-and-death contract. I will cover the 100 points of the contract, merely to ensure that you do not leak any information and do not withdraw

Presenting such a statement in this manner does not seem abrupt at all

Upon entering the room, aside from a few familiar newcomers, Xu Yue immediately spotted a headband tied around the arm of a stern-looking man, and quickly made a judgment about the environment before him

I did not expect to underestimate them; the allocation of task space should have a significant degree of randomness. It just so happened that the appearance of their 'own people' was not a matter of probability, but rather the extensive distribution of personnel within their team.

Before gaining power, this individual presented a humble and sunny demeanor; however, upon acquiring power, he immediately shed his disguise. Such a character is utterly unworthy of comparison with myself

It is certainly not a problem to maintain confidentiality, but not withdrawing seems a bit excessive. What if the risks are significant and one ends up in a dire situation?

Who knows whether you will deceive me with some unreliable information

Even the formal Chūnin appear somewhat unattainable in their eyes, and the abilities of the Jōnin are absolutely beyond the measure of common reasoning

Cough~ So is this time meant to seek my cooperation? What is the purpose, and isn't the task about to conclude?

No wonder he achieved such accomplishments; it turns out he befriended a future elite ninja

That kind of confidence and proud aura came rushing forward, and this contrast made the faces of the few individuals who had previously been beaten by Xu Yue turn a shade of red.

I never expected that the future Hokage would actually be a bottom-tier ninja

After careful review and confirmation of accuracy, both parties have also reached a preliminary agreement, and subsequently, smiles of welcome appeared on the faces of Xiong Tao and the cold and stern Shinobi.

Well, perhaps this evaluation of him as being 'at the bottom among the elite ninjas' is somewhat related. If they truly recognized Kai's potential, taking the risk would be worthwhile. Of course, it is also possible that the other party does not place much importance on the interpersonal relationships within the 'Ninja Village War'.

To actively inform oneself of this 'important' intelligence, is it to show goodwill? It seems that this time they have come to me with a request...

The difficulty of obtaining it is particularly outrageous; the curse of the caged bird compels those who wish to acquire the Byakugan to resort to attacking members of the main family. Given the protection that the Hyuga clan provides to its main family members, the number of reincarnators who can truly obtain the Byakugan in the entire reincarnation space is indeed very few

... ...

Xu Yue still displayed a somewhat arrogant demeanor typical of a newly wealthy person. It is certain that an ordinary individual will experience a change in mindset after gaining fame and power

Let us first sign a contract, and once it is signed, we will inform you. Otherwise, if we disclose the secret to you, it could lead to complications.

Subsequently, the two informed Xu Yue of the objectives of this mission. Upon hearing their words, Xu Yue couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in his heart. No wonder so many means were employed and so much effort was expended... this is indeed a significant undertaking

If you choose to exit, a deduction of 1,000 points will be required as compensation, and for leaking information, a deduction of ten times that amount! How does that sound? Even if you truly wish to give up, you can still exit, and the deducted points will not be given to us but submitted to the system. Therefore, we will not engage in such thankless tasks.

Even in the cycle of reincarnation, it is revered by various seasoned practitioners as the foremost bloodline in the 'Ninja Village War'

Having received such a commitment, Xu Yue naturally nodded in agreement

After all, the other party does not possess the 'Rationality' buff, and their age is also within normal limits. Raising a child's favorability easily attracts attention and suspicion

However, this time, the team behind Xiong Tao has set its sights on this so-called 'First Bloodline' Bai Yan

Welcome to join us, my friend, you will definitely not regret your choice
