23. Dragon Blade

Haha…

Yagami burst out in laughter.

"You are quite a funny boy! It reminds me of my nephew."

"Well!"

Akio scratches his head in embarrassment.

"I am Akio Nakamura, the current manager of Nakamura Weapon Shop."

Mm…

"I know. I have met your father plenty of times. He saved my life a couple of times."

Yagami pats his back.

"Boy! If you need help, just ask me any time."

"Here is the money!"

Fugaku returns with a scroll in his hands. He passes it to Akio.

[8235 system points have been credited to your account.

Deducting the loan amount -200 system points.

Current Balance: 8069]

'Nice!'

A smile blooms on Akio's face.

"Thanks for the patronage!"

He nods to Fugaku.

"You aren't counting, boy!"

Fugaku raises an eyebrow.

"Fugaku-san! The relationship between a shop owner and a customer is based on trust. You trust the quality of my weapons; I trust your honesty." Akio cooks up some bullshit.

'Trust! What's that? Can you get stronger with it?' Akio mocks in his heart.

Mm…

Fugaku is pleased by Akio's attitude.

"My wife is about to give birth to our first child. So, make sure to visit on the day of celebration."

Fugaku takes out a scroll with Uchiha insignia on it.

"This is the invitation to the celebration. You are the first person to receive this invitation."

Haha…

Yagami burst out in laughter.

"Fugaku! She is only 4 months into pregnancy. How can she give birth in a few days? You are way too excited to become a father. Well, I can't blame you. I was the same."

"…"

Akio silently ignores them. Both of them turn towards him after the laughter dies down.

"I am grateful for your high opinion of me."

Akio nods to them in respect as his brow twitches slightly.

'I just can't understand the sick sense of humor of these Uchiha people.'

"I will take my leave now. I have to visit other places too."

Akio picks up his bag and walks out of the house.

Hmm…

Fugaku and Yagami stare at his back.

"This boy is quite smart for his age. I like how he can maintain his composure." Yagami remarks.

"Too bad! He can never become a shinobi. I didn't notice even an ounce of chakra in his body with my Sharingan." Fugaku shakes his head.

The duo continues their conversation.

Akio walks through the lawn as he is lost in his thoughts.

'What a steal! I am rich! I am rich! System, can you see this? Can you see this?'

He flashes his balance of 8,000 system points.

'Gone are the days when I was dirt poor. I am a dreamer now and I will soon get that Ring of Contracts upgrade.'

He walks towards the exit of the clan head residence while lost in his fantasies.

BAM…

Akio collides with someone and drops his bag on the ground.

Aww… Ouch…

Ah!

Akio looks down and notices a three-year kid with short, unkempt black hair and dark black eyes rubbing his forehead.

"Are you fine, kid?"

He extends a helping hand to the kid. The kid grabs his arm and stands up.

"Nii-san! Did you saw my father?"

Hmm…

Akio notices the resemblance of the kid to the man he met earlier.

"He is inside the house."

Akio points in.

"Oh! Thank you, Nii-san. My name is Shisui Uchiha." The kid bows to him and sprints in.

'What a humble ki… Wait! What's his name? Shisui Uchiha! Don't tell me it's that Shisui Uchiha.'

Akio's eyes widen in surprise.

He quickly opens the system panel to check Shisui's stats.

…]

'Damn! This boy is on crack. Those are some unholy stats for a kid. I guess geniuses are one of a kind. Wherever I see, protagonists pop out of nowhere. I am the only mob with no plot Armor.'

Akio silently complains in his heart and sprints out of the Uchiha clan.

He drops by the Uchiha Police Force and earns another sum of 3,500,000 Ryo, amounting to 3500 system points.

"I made it big this time!"

Akio chuckles to himself as he whistles and walks through the Hyuga district.

[Requirements have been met. Updating Shop! Updating Host's credits score.

After completing a milestone of 10,000 System points, the host's credit limit has been increased to 20,000 system points and the time limit has been increased to 20 days.]

"Woah! That came as a pleasant but expected surprise."

Akio nods his head.

[Host should take a look at the new items in the store.]

The system's monotonous voice rings through his mind.

"Huh?! Why? You want me to rob of my points."

Akio sneers at the system.

[The system is present to help the host. So, of course, the system will cheat… will never cheat the host]

System speaks with a slightly embarrassed tone.

"You were about to say something else, didn't you?"

Akio has a doubtful look as he opens the shop and glances at the new items.

[Ryuji Ichimonji: - Also knows as the Dragon blade is a powerful weapon once wielded by a powerful hero. Made of an unknown metal and quenched with the blood of a dragon, this weapon cut through foes and allies alike.

Active Skill: - Dragon Blade: The user can infuse chakra or nature energy in the blade to unleash a devastating attack in the shape of a dragon. The strength of the dragon depends on the amount of energy used.

Passive Skill: - With each successive attack, the user has a chance to deal a critical attack which ignores through all sorts of defenses. Once a critical strike is landed, the user won't be able to land another critical hit for 3 minutes.

Cost: 5000 System points]

"Damn! It's the Dragon blade. You won me over, system. Here, take my points!"

Akio immediately spends 5000 system points and purchases the katana.

The katana has a metal blade with jagged edges. Green plasma-like fluid is filled in between the jagged edges and forms the blade of the katana.

He summons the katana and swings it in his hands while yelling.

"Ryūjin no ken wo kurea!"

"…"

The passer-by silently stares at him as a couple remarks.

"Kid these days play plenty of weird games!"

"Honey! I don't want our kid to learn such habits."

Umm…

Akio's face turns red in embarrassment. He quickly sheathes the blade and dashes towards the Hyuga compound.

'It's the freaking Dragon Blade of Genji. I just couldn't control myself!'

He quickly arrives in front of the Hyuga Clan Head residence and stows the katana in system inventory.

'I will check out its features later.'

He is about to knock on the main gate as the gate suddenly opens and a pair of white eyes greet him.

"Woah!"

He jumps in fright.

'That gave me a jump scare! Hyuga's eyes will be the first thing I will never like to see in the morning.'

Akio calms himself and smiles.

"I am here to deliver the monthly weapon supplies."

Mm…

The guard nods at him and leads him into the house.

Brr…

A shiver runs down Akio's spine as multiple eyes lock onto him. He feels like his body is being ogled by multiple people.

'These damn Hyuga's and their weird taste. I don't want to mess around with these Hyūga or they will even publicize the color of my underwear.'

Akio jokes in his mind to distract himself from the scrutinizing gaze of the Hyuga clansman.

'Even if I know that they are inspecting me for security reasons, still it doesn't change the fact that they are breaching my privacy.'

He complains and asks the system.

'System! Is there any item that blocks other's perceptions of me?'

[There is! But the user doesn't meet the requirement to use it yet.]

System's cold voice dashes his hope.

'Tell me the requirement, then?' Akio doesn't lose hope so easily.

[The host should have a minimum of 30 spirit stats to use the item to block other's perception.]

Akio stares at his pathetic 13 spirit stats.

'Nah! I am good for now. What else can they see? My dick, which is probably bigger than theirs even if I am an eight-year-old kid!'

Akio convinces himself with his twisted sense of reasoning. The guard leads him to a room.

"Come in!"

A deep voice greets him from the other side of the door.
