The Truth Behind the System (Part 1)

Zhang Miao did not care much about the system's words. As the old saying goes, "First time strangers, second time friends." Anyway, it was not his first time peeping, and he was already used to it.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. System, you should stop talking nonsense. Just spit on my face. I will lick it clean and show you whether you believe it or not."

System: "... "

The moment Zhang Miao said this, the system immediately fell silent. At this time, Zhang Miao looked at Hiruzen proudly.

"Hehe... Old Man, from today onwards, you will be my follower. However, you definitely can't keep your original name. I have to give you a new one!"

At this point, Zhang Miao shook his head helplessly.

"Sigh, I shouldn't be like the Hyuga clan. They are not creative at giving names. I have to give you a domineering one. Yes... yes, your name will be Sarutobi Hiten. Only such a domineering name fits your identity as a ninja. How about it? Are you happy?"

Hiten: "..."

"Damn it, you're just the same as them!"

Looking at Zhang Miao's eager expression, the corner of Hiten's mouth twitched a few times before he forced out an ugly smile.

"Hi.. ten..? thank you, master, for granting me a name. I am very... happy!"

"Haha!" Hearing his words, Zhang Miao laughed again. While laughing, he patted him on the shoulder. "Old man, you are too polite. Who are we? Don't address me like that, just call me 'boss'!

"Yes, boss!"

Seeing that Hiten was so "sensible", Zhang Miao nodded with satisfaction again and then asked the system in his heart.

"System, I have recruited so many ninjas now. I have reached 100 stars, right? Can you tell me your origin now?"

Although he knew that the system would not hurt him, Zhang Miao had always been curious about the System's origin. Unfortunately, the System had stressed that he had to recruit enough ninjas before it would tell him, so he could only hold it in.

Zhang Miao calculated that he seemed to have recruited all the strong people in Konoha, so he asked the system again.

After hearing Zhang Miao's question, the system's prompt sounded again.

"The host's current level is 93 stars, so the host has not met the System's requirements!"

"93 stars? No way, right?"

Hearing the system's answer, Zhang Miao immediately frowned, "I just calculated that it should be 98 stars. System, did you make a mistake?"

"This system will not make a mistake!"

Just as Zhang Miao's voice fell, the system responded again, "This system only calculates the initial star level of the recruited ninja. The additional stars gained through the Rank-up process will not be counted. In addition, the number of stars of those below the Jonin level is not included!"

"Uh..." Hearing the system's answer, Zhang Miao was stunned at first, then nodded. "If that's the case, it is indeed 93 stars!"

Just now, Zhang Miao had counted the two stars that Kasaki obtained from his Rank-up, as well as the three stars from reviving Shenlin. Now that he heard the system's explanation, he understood that he had made a mistake.

At the same time, he was also somewhat glad that he did not recruit a large number of fodder Ninjas to fill the star requirements. Otherwise, he would have worked for nothing.

Thinking of this, he asked the system again, "System, with the number of fragments I have, which ninja can I recruit?"

"There are three ninjas!" Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system prompt immediately sounded, "They are 4-star Special Jonin Uzuki Yugao, 4-star Jonin Uchiha Izumi, and 7-Star Kage-level Uchiha Shisui. May I ask if the host will start the recruitment process now?"

"Great, now I can gather a hundred stars!"

Hearing the system notification,

Zhang Miao immediately nodded excitedly, "I want to recruit them now. Give me Yugao's ninja fragments!"

"Yes, host!"

As the system voice sounded, a large pile of ninja fragments immediately appeared on the ground. Seeing this, Zhang Miao no longer hesitated and immediately began to form hand seals.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, a burst of white smoke rose up. When the white smoke dissipated, Yugao, who was wearing her green ninja vest, suddenly appeared in front of him.

Looking at the beautiful face of Yugao in front of him, Zhang Miao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wow... As expected of my first wife. Not only was she cute when she was a child, but she was also very beautiful when she grew up. Come, come and let your husband kiss you!"

As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Yugao, who was standing in front of him, immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Yugao followed Master's command and came to this world. She was willing to give up all her loyalty and life for Master, but Yugao's heart only belonged to Hayate alone!"

Zhang Miao: "... "

"Damn it, why is it a little different from what I imagined!"

Just when Zhang Miao was a little confused, the system notification rang out in his mind.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for recruiting 4-star Jonin, Uzuki Yugao, and obtaining Yugao's chakra reserve. Because Yugao is a ninja specializing in swordsmanship, the host has gained a specialty: Weapon Cut. When the host uses swords or knives to attack, there is a certain probability of cutting off the opponent's weapon.]"

After hearing the system notification, Zhang Miao could only temporarily put down the doubts in his heart and then nodded.

"Yes, that's nice to have. Now open Yugao's specialties list for me!"

"[Yes, the System now will open the list....]"

Following the system's voice, Yugao's specialties list immediately appeared in front of Zhang Miao.

[Option 1:]

[Konoha Sword Style (Incomplete): A sword style derived from the Second Hokage's Hiraishingiri. Although it is incomplete, it still has extraordinary power. The moves included: Konoha Sword Style - Dance of the Crescent Moon, and Konoha Sword Style - Hazy Moon Night.]

[Note: With a knife in hand, I have the world. No matter how good the body technique is, I can knock it down with one knife! ]

[Option 2:]

[Medical Ninjutsu: Healing, Blood Stopping Art.]

[Note: In fact, compared to stopping the bleeding, I am better at draining my enemies' blood!]

[Option 3:]

[Devotion: Making you a devoted person!]

[Note: This specialty is designed for quality men.]

After reading these three options, Zhang Miao immediately frowned.

As a person who pursued perfection, if the first choice did not have the word "incomplete" written on it, Zhang Miao would definitely choose it.

As for the second option, Zhang Miao had already learned medical ninjutsu, and it was not very useful even if he chose it.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhang Miao could only let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, I can only choose the third option. After all, for a fine man like me, only this option is worthy of my coolness!"

After saying that, Zhang Miao pointed to the third option, and the system notification rang out.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining the special skill 'Devotion'. The host will become a devoted... Beep! beep! Hardware inconsitency detected! The system has temporarily adjusted the specialty.... Now the host will be more welcomed by girls!]"

Hearing the system prompt, Zhang Miao was immediately enraged.

"F*ck, what do you mean by hardware inconsistency? I don't need that! Quickly return that specialty to me!!"

System: "..."
