Life is uncertain when you're reckless.

"We look forward to seeing you again."
Ren Suo walked out of the TGBus shop with a bag in his hand. He had purchased a new Hell 4 game controller—he even chose a gold-colored one.
Although the gold-colored option cost 30 dollars more than the most common black and white-colored ones, the golden color naturally made Ren Suo feel like 'he was more special and unique'. Even though Ren Suo had also purchased a case for the controller which would conceal the color of the controller, he still decided to purchase the gold-colored controller.
Indeed, appearances were hopelessly important to Ren Suo, especially with regards to technology products that were used daily. He would purchase products that looked nicer.
And the reason why he specially came out of the house to buy a new game controller was that he had smashed his old one while playing [Holy Priest: Survival Battle].
In that round of the game, Ren Suo had risen to the top three after a painstaking time directing his character to stay alive and eliminate opponents. He made his character lie perfectly hidden on the snow-covered ground. However, a short and frail white man suddenly walked past in front of his character.
Ren Suo could not help but use his fully automatic "SCAR of the Rain" to send the thin and frail white man to the heavens. At the same time, however, he exposed his character's position and was similarly sent to the heavens by the eagle-eyed sniper who was behind.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." The oriole would be the most privileged of the three, followed by the cicada, and the mantis is the most unfortunate—it was clearly just a step away from success but was instead pushed off the cliff at the very last moment.
At that moment, Ren Suo rolled around on the couch in agitation. But as he rolled about, his grip on the controller loosened and flew from his hand right onto the corner of the wall, smashing it instantly.
Although Ren Suo could also purchase a new controller online, he could not afford to waste any time waiting for the express delivery, which was why he went out to the ACG Star Mall himself to buy a new one.
He had originally intended to return home after buying the new controller, but he changed his mind and decided to have his meal outside after a long time staying at home.
But he simply went to KFC and ordered a fried chicken set with Fatty's Holy Water (Cola).
The graphics quality of "Survival Battle" was actually comparable to "The Hitman", but its sound effects were unexpectedly…exaggerated.
Whenever Ren Suo made his character drink cola and eat fried chicken to increase her happiness score, loud chewing and slurping sounds would resonate in his ears. And the chicken of that fried chicken meal had even been fried until the bones were soft.
As Ren Suo watched his character's glistening white teeth crunch down on the delicious, mouth-watering fried chicken and then, gulp down the cola happily, he could not help but drool.
Ren Suo had almost ordered fried chicken delivery but then stopped himself. He figured that fried chicken was high in calories and also 'heaty'. For people like him who came from the south, becoming fat was merely a side concern since he could develop oral ulcers or throat inflammation if he was unlucky.
Of course, the more important reason was that ordering fried chicken would cost him an additional delivery surcharge of eight dollars. In comparison, the free delivery from the Jian Ji Noodles Stall below his apartment was more economical.
It was dinner time and there were many people in the KFC outlet. But Ren Suo was alone and could easily find a seat. He ordered a bucket of fried chicken as well a large cup of iced cola and started eating contentedly at one of the rows of seats facing the window.
After some time, a teen girl sat down beside Ren Suo. She plugged her mobile phone into the socket in the wall to charge and gleefully started watching a video with her earphones in.
How could she not buy any food, and yet hog the seats during the peak period while using the wifi and electricity for free…
Ren Suo criticized her in his heart as he shot a glance at her. He noticed the scene in the video on her mobile phone and could not help but stop for a moment.
"How could that be so popular?"
Astonishingly, the teen girl was watching episode 18 of "Over My Dead Body", which had been uploaded at 3 p.m. that day. Ren Suo did not imagine that a stranger sitting beside him would also watch that drama series.
But he did not have the right to criticize her either—he had stopped playing [Holy Priest: Survival Battle] to watch the new episode at 3 p.m. sharp.
Undoubtedly, Ren Suo knew all of the content and plot of "Over My Dead Body", but there were also many things in the drama series that he did not know prior to watching it. For example, he did not know about the training the Ren family members had to undergo before they stepped up as the next head of the family. He also did not know about the many stories of love and hate that the Ren family members encountered when they set out on expeditions…
Like most of the ordinary people, Ren Suo was more interested in the love stories and comical moments in the plot. Admittedly, "Naisser_Ren" actually had decent video-cutting and editing skills. Almost every episode was action-packed and extremely exciting. Furthermore, apart from the main plot, there were also special animations of extraordinary abilities, much like popcorn movies.
Although the spoken language was that of Xuan Nation, Ren Suo could not understand it either (after all, that was the spoken language 2000 years ago). However, there were subtitles in the language of Xuan Nation and in English, which satisfied the needs of the general audience from around the world.
Nonetheless, Ren Suo felt a peculiar sense of pride when he saw the teen girl who was a stranger watching "Over My Dead Body" with such concentration. Perhaps due to his striking stare, the teen girl turned her head and noticed Ren Suo staring at her own mobile phone. She took out her earpiece and asked softly, "Do you watch 'Dead Body' too?"
"Dead Body?" Ren Suo said, surprised. But he quickly responded and said, "I watch it too. Do you think that it is nice to watch?"
The girl nodded her head with zest and said, "Yes, it is! Although there are no celebrities that I like in the movie, there is no fanciful clothing, and I can't fully understand what they are saying, it is actually quite interesting and unique for an ordinary web series."
Of course, there are no celebrities, the characters are all real people… Ren Suo continued talking to the girl for a short while and found that she actually liked the drama series. It seemed that her friends did not watch the series which resulted in her not being able to discuss the plot with other people, so she earnestly started discussing it with Ren Suo.
And Ren Suo gladly revealed the future storyline to her.
"Ren Nu was unfortunate and would remain single throughout his life, although he would still save a few decent girls before his death."
"Speaking of Ren Xian, he would leave to join Liu Bei in a few more episodes but quickly die of old age."
…
Eventually, the teen girl put on her headphones and continued watching the drama silently. Ren Suo also finished his fried chicken and continued on his way home with the large cup of cola in his hand.
However, when he walked past an internet café in the ACG Star Mall, he saw an enormous advertisement posted outside. The internet café was organizing a "CrossFire Offline Competition", and not only would the champion receive a 1000-dollars membership card, but he will also receive an MX8.0 mechanical gaming keyboard, as well as a Logitech g502 mouse.
The dream of CrossFire, when it was released, was to have 300 million players, and that was when Ren Suo was in junior high school. But when he never played it before as he always played RPG games when he went to internet cafes.
Who would have known that the game would be so popular now that he had graduated from university?
He glanced into the internet café and saw that many of the screens were in the first-person view, and they were shooting their guns in crossfire on a desert map.
Everyone had headphones on and only the sounds of keyboards and left mouse keys clicking could be heard in the internet café as if footsteps in the dark.
Eh?
It was only then that Ren Suo realized that he seemed to have made a strange mistake. He turned around and looked for a shop selling computer accessories…
…
…
When Ren Suo reached home, he first went to his bedroom and disconnected his wired keyboard and mouse from his computer, then carefully moved the Mini Worlds Gaming Console onto his desk.
Afterwhich, Ren Suo took out the new game controller which he had just purchased, as well as a set of wireless/Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
He placed the mouse and keyboard on the table and was quickly lost.
From the very beginning, Ren Suo was able to use the game controller to turn the game console on because the wireless game controller had a button used specifically to turn the game console on wirelessly.
But why would the wireless mouse and keyboard have such a button to turn the game console on?
Ren Suo clicked the mouse. There was no response.
Was I just dreaming of the impossible?
The Mini Worlds Gaming Console had utilized some sort of unexplainable 'dark magic' to connect to his television screen and the game controller automatically, and Ren Suo had thought that it was extremely intelligent.
Without much hope, Ren Suo continued pressing all the buttons on the keyboard. However, when he pressed the "wake-up" key, the display screen suddenly lit up.
Ren Suo was amused. It worked!
But it had to be attributed to the fact that he wanted to get things cheap and purchased an older version of the wireless keyboard used solely for testing purposes. The current, newer keyboards no longer had the "wake-up" and "sleep" keys.
Without any delay, Ren Suo immediately tried to use the mouse and keyboard to play [Holy Priest: Survival Battle]. While the new game controls took a while getting used to, there was sufficient time in the first round of the game for him to get familiar with it.
Ren Suo very quickly mastered the new game controls. Compared to the game controller, the mouse allowed Ren Suo to pan around much more quickly. Even when he was in a battle with multiple opponents, Ren Suo was able to eliminate other opponents very quickly and decisively with the help of camouflage items.
He had successfully proceeded to the top ten!
In fact, Ren Suo had already mastered the techniques in the previous days, but the game controller restricted his movements. Now equipped with a mouse, he could finally realize his full potential and even fight many opponents alone!
Ren Suo fought well to the final round. When there were only him and one other opponent left, he felt that it was where he would have to concede.
The last round was in a bungalow, and he was right in the center. The other trainee opponent was hiding in a dead-end of the bungalow and could not see Ren Suo's character from the window. But if he entered through the window, the opponent would definitely be able to react in time.
Ren Suo did not have a hand grenade with him and had no other choice but to force his way in. However, the trainee in the bungalow seemed to know that he had an edge and boasted to Ren Suo, saying, "You already lost, just walk in obediently and accept uncle's recovery touch of love!"
Ren Suo pulled the corners of his lips as he suddenly thought of something. He turned on his microphone and shouted, "Can you hear me?"
"Obviously, hmph. Are you a scared kid? On the account that we are both from the same country, I will make it quick and send you to the heavens happily and swiftly, so come in," the uncle said.
"But why can't I see your position? I can't hear if you are on the left or on the right."
"Are you kidding me? Our voices have been enhanced, and what we say would be clearly communicated to anyone in the area. It is the same logic as the increase in our physical ability and enhanced vision—they are all unsaid 'blessings'. Has no one ever told you about these?"
"Thanks, uncle. I wouldn't have known if not for you. But don't think that you will definitely win. Have you ever heard of the Skill of Silent Recovery?" Ren Suo shouted.
"What Skill of Silent Recovery? You added a silencer?" the slightly puzzled uncle questioned.
"I will now let you have a taste of the Skill of Silent Recovery! Wahlalalalalala—" Ren Suo loudly said.
Ren Suo continued screaming as he opened the door. The middle-aged uncle with a large beer belly had indeed not heard the sound of the doors opening and did not notice that Ren Suo's character had walked in.
"Accept the exceptional recovery of the SCAR of the Rain!" Ren Suo exclaimed.
"What the hell, you are one sly—" the uncle said.
"You're welcome. Have a good journey," Ren Suo said.
As he watched the middle-aged uncle slowly transform into a handsome, charismatic and healthy man and ascend to the sky, Ren Suo could finally relax his tense muscles.
At the same time, the mission success message also appeared on the screen:
"Welcome back, we apologize for the lack of hospitality!"

Finally reaching the small apartment Chao-xing couldn't help but stare at the once clean living space.


Dirty clothes were lying around, dishes left dirty in the sink and the apartment needing some serious cleaning. The apartment was neat when it was originally bought, apparently the last owner wasn't as clean as she originally thought.

Deciding to handle the mess now rather than later she ended up wasting two hours before finally getting the apartment back to its neat and tidy state.

Once satisfied by the current cleanliness, she made her way to the bedroom and picked up the plain looking sketch book left lying on the wooden desk.

"Is host going to use the oringal's designs and sketches to enter?" the curious voice of the system sounded giving Chao-xing a slight fright.

"Hmm..."

She continued flipping through page after page of design, her eyes sparkling the entire time, by the end of the sketch book she couldn't help but sigh.



"It really is a shame, with her talent she would have become a top designer, if only she didn't get caught in the crossfire... I'll use her designs but change and develop them to a mix between our styles and idea's... Refining the rough sketches until they become masterpieces".

A small glimmer of excitement shone within her eyes at the idea of getting to work with something that has so much potential.


Meanwhile...


Sitting in an expensive limited edition sports car was the tall handsome man Chao-xing walked into earlier. 


With a cold and indifferent tone he spoke to his assistant over the phone. Just one glance was enough to tell you he was dangerous, powerful and influential, however, his looks captivated and draw people in.


"Investigate the girl I bumped into earlier, I already sent you a description and drawing of her"

This was all he said before hanging up.

The young man who was shouting him earlier looked at Liu Ji Lun quizzically.

"Why are you investigating that girl?"


Liu Ji Lun just cast him a quick emotionless glance before looking forward again, then replying with one word.

"Instinct"

After that they sped off without another word, only some confused glances from the youth in the passenger seat next to him.

Growing up wishing for the attention and love of her family only to be betrayed and left for dead. She vowed to get revenge no matter the cost.

"Finally a new host, ahhh I'm so excited"
"hmm"
"Ah, you're awake! Welcome potential-host, how would you like revenge if so I have just the deal for you"
After staring at the floating orb? for a moment  she slowly cracked her mouth open to whisper  hoarsly
"What do I need to do?"
"Take over the bodies whose previous system and host failed their mission, complete unfinished tasks and fix their mistakes"
"How does that get me revenge?"
"For each world host will receive time depending on difficulty ranging from minutes up to a month. This will determine how far back in time host will be sent when you are reborn as you past-self"

...........


"System?"
"Yes, host ?"
"How bad is my luck?"
"Host's luck is average"
"Then why do I keep encountering that shameless, black-bellied, evil..."
"Host!!! I'm not in control of the world's or their circumstance. Ahh host I didn't mean to shout... don't ignore me... please"
"Host..."
"Host..."
"Host..."

Everyone knew how much Alexander and Nadine had loved each other. They were both war heroes. 

Nadine was the second daughter of Marquis leBlanc, who was known for diplomacy rather than military strength. Her mother, Mari Vinter, was the only daughter of a powerful military family in the north. Nadine gained her gift in military affairs from her mother, along with her mother's silver hair and black eyes. 

On the other hand, Alexander was an orphan who joined the army when he was of age. During that time, he climbed the ranks and became the most feared on the battlefield. They were paired for a mission together and the rest was history. 

When they got married, Nadine became sick and lost most of her strength during her pregnancy with their first child. Another war approached at that time; Alexander went alone and never came back. Nadine was so devastated she could barely eat. However, when she remembered the precious life that was growing in her stomach, she willed herself to eat and became healthier again. She had given birth to a healthy baby girl. 

Duke Auer proposed to Nadine a little while after and she willingly married him. The duke loved her before she married Alexander. It was almost a love triangle. Nadine grew to love the duke back and they lived happily ever after.  

That was the story of "Summer Solstice," a book I had read in my past life. The author of the book never mentioned about a sequel or spin-off so I'm guessing she had never intended there to be one. But look where I ended up; reincarnated as Nadine leBlanc's daughter!

Yes, I am Genevieve Alexis d'Rose Auer. I was reincarnated into a book I read in passing. My sister loved the book and talked my ear off about it all the time. I admit, it was heart-wrenchingly good. 

In my past life, I was just a normal college student who worked part time to pay for school. However, on the way home, I was caught in a crossfire between gangs. 

When I first opened my eyes in this world, I remembered seeing Nadine hold me in her arms and cry. I had the features of my deceased father: hair as black as night and red eyes that shone like roses. 

Besides those features that undeniably defined my lineage, I looked exactly like my mother. After first, I was worried that mother wouldn't be able to bring herself to look at me and will be depressed every time she saw me. I also thought that Duke Auer, father, would also hate me as a result. However, they loved me so much. 

Though I am technically the heir to the rose house, I have been adopted into the Auer house which leaves the succession of Marquis Rose muddled. My deceased father obtained his title from his contributions to the war and he didn't have any family. If mother and father have another child, then I can take over the Rose house. 

While I was thinking that, mother and father had come into my bedroom. 

"Mama, Papa!" I hopped off the bed and ran to hug them. 

"My, Genevieve. We were only gone for half a day." Mother chuckled and patted my head. 

"Half a day may seem like an eternity when you're apart from the people you love, right Genny?" Father asked. I nodded. 

"That's right! I missed Mama and Papa thiiiis much!" I showed them with my hands. "But I love Mama and Papa more than I miss them!" I widened the expanse of my arms. 

They were hit with my cuteness arrows and immediately hugged me tighter. I giggled. 

"Mama, Papa, I have a request." 

"What is it?" Mother asked. 

"Since I'm going to turn five this year, I want a sibling for my birthday!" and this is the start of my plan. 

"S-sweetie, that's quite a big request, we don't know how long it'll take for you to have a sibling..." Father said worriedly. 

"That's why I told Mama and Papa a long time before my birthday! Mama and Papa have more time to prepare!" I smiled innocently as I saw them blush. Ahahah, young love.

My sister made me read a book called “Summer Solstice” about a single mother, Nadine leBlanc, struggling to come to terms with her husband, Alexander Rose’s, death. She gets proposed to by the only duke of the empire, Keiran Auer and they slowly fall in love. 

I am Genevieve Alexis d’Rose Auer, daughter of Nadine leBlanc and Alexander Rose. 

There wasn’t a sequel to the book so is this a free world then? Can I do as I please?! It’s a bother not to have a plot to follow though... 

Whatever! I will do my best to protect my family! I also would like a younger sibling too, hehe.

Fenris is arranged to marry Princess Perseyus of Benville. King Zenix accepted the alliance with Benville to help strengthen Euthania, however the union is still not strong enough to defend against potential threats.  

The beloved royals spent a majority of their reign structuring their country to defend the countless attacks from rivaled countries. Euthania won every battle but suffered from severe destruction and casualties. Euthania would not be able to defend themselves alone for much longer.

King Sawyer and Queen Evana had two children. A 9-year-old son Lorien and a 5-year-old daughter Maura. If Maura was older, the engagement between Prince Fenris of Euthania and Princess Perseyus could have been broken. 

King Sawyer found no positive outcome to secure the alliance with Euthania. He decided he overstayed his welcome and was set on finding another country to form a unity. Everything changed course when King Zenix brought up his youngest daughter Alexandra. 

He offered his daughter Alexandra to marry King Sawyer son Lorien. King Sawyer finally found an offer he couldn't refuse. He agreed to secure the alliance with the announced engagement between his heir and the princess of Euthania.   

Two countries once united, broken over infidelity, betrayal and treason. Euthania's adored princess is caught in the crossfire between her enemy, the arrogant prince of Tygariand and the retaliation of their countries. 

Both countries enforcing war for centuries is faced with a bigger threat which can only bring tragedy to their entire family reign. Can a betrayal between two countries cause the death of our beloved royals or could love restore the broken alliance?

*New Story* 
Updates weekly

In the past 10 years, Takeru had heard of many things that were happening around the world. The founding of the Hidden Leaf Village created shockwaves throughout the Elemental Nations.  Everyone was talking about it. At first nobody believed the news as the two mortal enemies, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan making a peace treaty was really unbelievable. But after getting the confirmation people became ecstatic as the long going war was finally stopped. Afterall with the two most powerful shinobi clans joining hands, few others would have the courage to even challenge them. Slowly many other shinobi clans joined them and signed the treaty. The first ones among them were the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, Hyuga clan, Nara clan, Yamanaka clan and the Akimichi clan. Along with many other major and minor clans, the first shinobi village, Hidden Leaf was founded, ending the vicious warring states period.

The clan head of the Senju clan, Hashirama Senju became the first leader of the village. His title being the Hokage. The Fire Daimyo of the Land of Fire authorised the post and ruled the nation with the Hokage together. Fire Daimyo being the supreme authority in administration and civilian aspects while the Hokage became the dictator of the military forces. This incident sent ripples in different nations as the shinobi clans of each respective nation started making treaties and pacts. And 4 other major shinobi villages were founded with numerous little ones.

The 4 major shinobi villages were the Hidden Stone Village in the Land of Earth, the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water, the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning and finally the Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Wind. The leaders of the said villages were titled Tsuchikage, Mizukage, Raikage and Kazekage respectively.

The next major incident was the sudden change of clan heads of the Uchiha clan as Madara Uchiha, the then leader of the Uchiha clan went rogue and died after some years in a fight with the Hokage Hashirama Senju. After hearing this bit of news Takeru grew anxious as he knew the 1st Great Shinobi War was approaching so talked with his family about relocating to the Hidden Leaf Village. This resulted in a quarrel between Takeru and his father. Toru did not want to go much less live with his family in a village filled with hired killers. Takeru reasoned with him. He told him that with the formation of the five shinobi villages, the next wars would not just stay between shinobi clans. The upcoming wars would happen between nations. And they, the regular citizens would suffer the most from the crossfire.

Toru and Akane were sceptical at first and did not believe it. But a few months ago a caravan coming from the Land of Grass was attacked by some unknown shinobis. The whole caravan was looted and burned and every single person was killed. Same things started happening often. And people could tell that the animosity between the villages were increasing and a war greater than any other in the past was approaching. Toru and Akane were finally convinced by Takeru that leaving the village was the best course of action. Toru and Akane wanted to move to Keishi but Takeru thought that Hidden Leaf Village would be the better option as the shinobi village would have the most protection form other shinobis.

Today, Takeru had turned 10 years old. The Yamamoto family was in joyous mood. The day ended with much celebration. The guests all gave Takeru some gifts and little presents except Tenshi. He rather asked Takeru to come to his house tomorrow. It was evening and most of the guests had already left. Takeru and his friends Renji and Genji along with Hikaru's daughter Tsukino were chatting in the backyard. They were sitting beside the pond and relaxing.

Renji and Genji, the two brothers were 15 years old now. They helped their father in his business and one day hoped to become the richest duo in the Land of Fire. And to achieve that they already opened a shop in Keishi which was currently being manned by their father, Atsuno. Tsukino on the other hand was the 9 year old. She was an excellent woodcarver and sculptor. She could make lifelike wooden sculptures and her sculptures sold like hot cakes. Hikaru sometimes even joked that she did the most income in his family. Tsukino even gifted Takeru a small sculpture of him and his family.

Takeru skipped training today as he just wanted to relax and enjoy this day. Toru and Akane already discussed with the other families that they might move out of the village. They shared their concerns and the points provided by Takeru. Granny Miyako's family was willing to move out albeit in the upcoming year, so were Hikaru and his family. Only Tenshi wanted to remain in this village, refusing the leave. Even when all of them tried to convince him, Tanshi remained stubborn.

Soon, it became dark and the Ji brothers and Tsukino also left. Takeru now sat with his parents and asked them about their plans of departure from the village. Toru told him about the happenings. Apparantly, Toru was contacted a few weeks ago by a guy from Tanzaku city who usually deals with real estate and housing in across the Land of Fire. He knew about their lands and the shop and was very eager to buy it. So, the moment Toru showed his intention of selling the property, he jumped right in. Toru haggled with him for a bit and came to an satisfactory agreement. The guy had the ownership of a medium sized house near the centre of the Hidden Leaf Village. The previous owner moved away 2 years ago and sold him the house. Somehow, he coud not sell the house without taking a loss. For two years he showed the house to many of his customers but all of them opted to buy apartments or flats instead. According to the verbal agreement, Toru would got the house at a discounted price and 500,000 ryo in cash. Takeru immediately rushed his father as the deal was very good. Akane also agreed as they would profit from it. Seeing his wife and son agree, Toru decided to visit the Leaf Village to check out the house. Toru found a few days ago that a small caravan from the Land of Iron would pass their village tomorrow, heading towards the capital Keishi whilst making a stop at the Leaf Village. So, he told his plan to visit the Leaf Village to Takeru and Akane, which they readily accepted.

The next day in the morning, Takeru and Toru went out, Toru went to buy some supplies for his journey and Takeru went to visit Tenshi. Tenshi Higurashi was an old man in his sixties. He came to this village nearly 40 years ago and became the resident go-to blacksmith of this village ever since. The man never married or had any reltives. Although Atsuno once mentioned that he knew one blacksmith surnamed Higurashi in Otafuku city. Tenshi, for some unknown reason had an intense hatred for shinobis. What was the reason? No one really knew that. Though the man loved Takeru very much. Tenshi was always nice to him and perhaps the only few times the old man smiled was in Takeru's presence. Takeru entered the Higurashi Shop and was greeted with the sounds of hammer meeting iron. Takeru did not disturb Tenshi, instead he sat on a chair nearby and watched Tenshi's work. After sometime Tenshi was done. He closed all the doors and windows and locked them making sure that no one could come from outside. He scanned the room twice making sure that they were alone. 

Tenshi finally greeted Takeru with a smile, - "You came early".
"Well, I wanted my birthday present." - replied Takeru, looking at Tenshi with a weird and questioning look.
"Yes, your birthday present. Tell me Takeru, how are you with a sword?" - asked Tenshi after freshening up..
"I would not say I am bad at it but I am no master."
"Has you father taught you the samurai sword style?" - asked Tenshi as he went behind the forge and crouched, staring at something.
"Yeah, he did." - answered Takeru as he sensed Tenshi doing a few hand-seals and then 'puff', some smoke came out. On Tenshi's hands appeared a sword, a ninjato to be exact wrapped in cloth.
"Show me then." - Tenshi said with a grave voice and seriousness as he unwrapped the cloth and handed the weapon to Takeru.

Takeru gently took it, marvelling at the craftsmanship. The scabbard was black in colour while the handle had black & white diamond shaped design. Takeru unsheathed the ninjato and observed it. The ninjato was a bit longer than normal. It's single edged blade was matte black in colour. The ninjato had a black small handguard. The handle was wrapped with cloth and raisin, making the standard handle design with black and white colours. Takeru saw Tenshi looking at him, so he quickly stood up, got steady, took the opening stance and demonstrated the full sword style. After demonstration he went back to his place, sheathed the blade and with a lingering stare at the sword, handed it back to Tenshi.

"Excellent! Now, come with me." - Tenshi took the sword and went further inside his house.
Takeru followed him getting more and more confused by his actions. Takeru could not tell why Tenshi was so happy right now. After coming inside Tenshi asked Takeru to sit while he took a piece of paper from a drawer and handed the paper to him.

"This piece of paper is called a chakra induction paper. It can show you what your chakra affinity is. Now I want you to send a tiny bit of chakra to the paper and we will know what your chakra affinity is. If it is fire then the paper will catch fire and turn into ash. If it is wind then the paper will split in half. For lighting, earth and water the paper will either wrinkle or turn to dirt and crumble away or will become damp." - said Tenshi.

Takeru was confused. He did not know what to say. So, he simply did what Tenshi asked. He too wanted to know about his chakra nature. Takeru slowly sent a silver of chakra to the paper and 'whoosh' the paper burst into violent flames and literally got vaporised in an instant.

"Hmm, you have the fire affinity and to a high degree it seems. This is very good." - said Tenshi as he went to the storeroom in the back. Takeru was a bit disappointed. Takeru did not wish for a kekkei genkai as he knew there was little to no chance of him possessing one. But he did wish for a least two chakra natures. Instead he got the most common affinity people of his nation had. But still, it was better than having earth or water affinity.

Takeru wanted to know what Tenshi was planning. He knew Tenshi would never do any harm to him. But Tenshi's random actions and the suspense was killing him. After a few moments, Tenshi returned and asked him to come inside the storeroom. Takeru entered and saw words and weird symbols written on the floor, which he recognised as some kind of fuinjutsu sealing array. The ninjato was placed within the array. Tenshi took a cup and asked him to pour some blood in the cup. Takeru believed him but his actions were weirding him out. Nonetheless he did as Tenshi instructed. Tenshi poured Takeru's blood evenly all over the ninjato and finally asked him pour some of his chakra on a specific place on the array. Takeru took a deep breath and went along. He started pouring chakra on the specified area. After some time Tenshi asked him to get away from the array. Takeru stood beside Tenshi and watched him perform a long series of hand-seals. Tenshi suddenly slapped his hands on the ground and the sealing array lit up for moment and then vanished leaving only the sword on the ground. Tenshi took the sword carefully, checked it and sheathed it into the black wooden scabbard. He then asked Takeru to follow him. They went back to frontroom of the house and sat together. Takeru now seriously wanted some explanation.

"I know you have some questions. But first let me explain." - Tenshi spoke first.
"Okay. Go on." - Takeru replied.
"I was born in clan which specialised in shinobi weaponry and blacksmithing. My father was a master blacksmith. He always wanted to forge a legendary sword like the Kusanagi sword or the Totsuka blade. As I grew up, his dream slowly started to become my dream. So, my father and I went on a journey one day to find the best metal to forge the blade. Along our journey we collected different types of chakra metal but our journey ended the day when we found an unique metal on the mountains of the Land of Lightning. This metal came from a meteorite that crashed there. We returned and started forging the sword together. We finished the main body of the sword. But before we could finish the sword some shinobi somehow came to know about the sword and attacked us. My parents died that day protecting me. My father gave me this sword and made me swore an oath to finish what he started. From then I kept traveling around the world, never staying at the same place twice avoiding my pursuers until finally I came to this village. This sword is essence of me and  my father's lifetime of work. This is our legacy, Takeru and I want you to have it." - finished Tenshi handing the sword to him. To say Takeru was shocked would have been an understatement. He never knew old man Tenshi had such a history. The sword felt heavy on his hands. It was far too valuable.

"But why me? What about the rest of your family? What about your clan?" - asked Takeru.
"I gave it to you because I want to, nothing more and nothing less. As for family and clan I do not have any. My family died that day and I never got married or took an apprentice. The clan did not matter to me anymore when I came to know that they banished me and parents to save themselves form trouble. So here's your explanation. And by the way it is your sword right now so you can do whatever you want with it. You can use the sword or you can throw it or sell it or give it to someone else for all I care. It is your choice." - grinned the old man.
"I, I do not know what to say. I mean, are you serious? This is your legacy, your dream and you just gave it to me."
"Well, my dream was fulfilled the day I finished the making the sword. So, yeah, I just gave it to you and you should give this sword a name by the way. It is a powerful sword and it deserves a name. Oh, wait. I have some more things to give you."
"I am not taking anything else from you old man!"
"Oh, shut up. You are going to need these." - Tenshi said as he hurriedly went to the storeroom and soon came back with 3 books.
"Consider these parting gifts from me. I know you are going to move out of this village soon and I wish to give these to you." - said Tenshi as he handed the 3 books to Takeru. Takeru saw the first book and he was stunned when he spotted the familiar whirlpool symbol.
"This book was given to me by an old friend. Everything I know about fuinjutsu came from this book. She was an Uzumaki, she wrote this book and you do not doubt an Uzumaki when it comes to fuinjutsu. The second one is actually my ancestors's notes about the fire nature transformation, it's manipulation and how to control the fire. The last one is my clan's kenjutsu technique, the Higurashi Kenjutsu Style."
"I can not take these old man. These are personal and clan secrets we are talking about."
"Oh, so you already accepted the sword I gave you."
"W-What?"

Immediately Tenshi shoved the 3 books and a paper to Takeru and literally pushed him out of his house and locked the door, leaving Takeru standing in the street with a sword in one hand and the 3 books and the paper in the other one. Takeru sighed. The visit took a dramatic turn and he got far more than he could ever wish for. Just as Takeru was planning on going home, Tenshi suddenly opened a window and shouted at him - "Oi brat, read that piece of paper first before you do anything." and closed the window with a slam. Takeru was amused at the ridiculousness of this situation.

Soon, he got home and saw his father packing some things for his journey. The caravan would start going about half an hour later from now and Toru already made arrangements for his transportation. The caravan was guarded by both samurai and shinobi and was relatively safe from any attacks and Takeru knew that if push came to shove Toru could handle the situation.

Takeru went to the room hurriedly, eager to inspect the things he got from Tenshi. The first thing he did was to read the paper. The paper had old man Tenshi's writing on it. It had details about the sword and some instructions. Old man Tenshi and his father made the sword with various chakra metals and the unknown metal they found. They apparently wanted to create a legendary sword and form the things he read on the paper, it seemed they succeeded. The unique metal, fuinjutsu and special forging techniques gave the sword some special properties. The sword was sharp, ridiculously sharp, probably sharper than any sword in the world. The sword was could absorb both kinetic energy and vibrations and was virtually indestructible. The sword was extremely chakra conductive and could absorb chakra and supply it to the user. The sword was permanently keyed to his chakra and blood and due to the fuinjutsu sealing array on the sword, Takeru could summon the sword from anywhere to himself. Takeru tried summoning the sword a few times to test this. He willed the sword to come him and everytime the sword would appear on one of his hands. Takeru practiced for a few moments and could now directly summon the sword from the scabbard to either of his hands or anywhere near his body anytime he wished. Takeru surmised that maybe the sword was more powerful than any of the 7 swords of Mist Village.

Satisfied, Takeru checked the books. He glossed over the contents of them quickly. The fuinjutsu book included step by step guidance from the very basics of fuinjutsu to simple space-time seals. The book was written by someone named Fumiko Uzumaki, a grandmaster sealer. The next book was old man Tenshi's ancestor's instructions about fire nature chakra transformation, manipulation and control. It was a tremendous asset to Takeru as he did not have anyone to teach him about fire nature chakra. The final one was the Higurashi clan's kenjutsu style. A very balanced style with emphasis on battlefield control. The book also had instructions on chakra flow and how to master it. Takeru was very grateful to old man Tenshi as the sword and the books would help him tremendously in the future and would increase his power very much.

As Takeru finished checking the gifts out, Toru called him to say that he was going out. Takeru carefuly kept the things hidden under a floorboard and accompanied Toru to see the caravan. The caravan was mainly consisted of travellers and businessmen carrying goods. It would take Toru at most 3 weeks for the whole roundtrip. The guards of the caravan included 20 samurai and some leaf shinobi. As far as Takeru could tell, there were 1 jounin, 2 chuunin and 6 genin level shinobi. Takeru was satisfied with the lineup. Soon the caravan started moving and Takeru wished his father on having a safe journey. Toru waved his hands and promised to bring some goodies from the Leaf Village.

Soon, the caravan went out of the village and out of sight. Takeru returned to his home wanting to make the most of his time. He was very eager to train. He knew that having fuinjutsu, fire release and chakra flow would greatly increase his powers. The sword and the new sword techniques would bring his kenjutsu prowess closer to mastery. He was very happy that his family agreed to move to the Leaf Village as this would give much security to his family. Takeru let out a sigh of relief and went on his way for further training.

However, she quickly figured out the crux of the matter and could not help but sneer. She did not hide anymore. She stood out from behind the big tree with a machine gun and fired at an official.
An official's expression changed when he saw that Sheng Fenghua had actually used a machine gun to shoot at him. His eyes flashed with killing intent. As he dodged, he fired back.
Sheng Fenghua's reaction was faster. When she saw that the other party had raised his gun, she rolled on the ground and dodged. Then, she fired again on the ground. A series of bullets were fired and an official was shot in the hand.
As soon as he was injured, an official's expression became more and more unsightly. He didn't care about the cultural relics anymore and directly shouted at his subordinates, "kill, kill her for me. "
As for himself, he took the opportunity to walk to the side and treat his wounds.
The order was changed. The subordinates of an official no longer had any scruples and started shooting wildly at Sheng Fenghua.
Fortunately, Sheng Fenghua reacted quickly and there was a big tree next to her, so she avoided it. Otherwise, it would be dangerous.
Seeing that the fight below was getting more and more intense, gang Zi couldn't help but increase the speed of his sniping. One shot at a time, helping Sheng Fenghua and the others lighten their burden.
But at this moment, the poisonous snake that gang Zi had chased all the way back came back. He didn't fire at the people who were caught in the crossfire below. Instead, he aimed his gun at Gang Zi.
The poisonous snake wanted to kill gang Zi. This way, he could not only solve the problem in his heart, but also reduce the casualties of his own people.
Although Gang Zi was sniping the enemy, he didn't let down his guard against the poisonous snake. In addition, his intuition was very accurate. So when the poisonous snake raised its gun and aimed at him, he felt it.
Therefore, he made a prompt decision and quietly left his original hiding place. Then, he hid not far away and quietly waited for the viper to fire.
Of course, when he left, he put on a disguise so that the viper would not notice.
Sure enough, the viper was fooled and fired at his disguise. And the moment the viper fired, Gang Zi also fired.
A shot was fired, hitting the other party's forehead.
The arrogant and conceited viper fell silently, which made gang Zi completely relieved. This feeling of being watched by others was really not good. He had to worry about whether the other party would shoot him in the back at any time.
Now, the problem was solved. He could concentrate on sniping the enemy and help the captain and the others reduce the pressure.
Gang Zi shot one enemy after another, constantly eliminating the enemy. This made Si Zhanbei and the others, who were exchanging fire with the enemy below, feel less pressure and started to counterattack fiercely.
As time passed, the number of people brought by dark official became fewer and fewer. It looked like there were only a few people left. He was furious and secretly regretted not bringing the cannon.
If the cannon had been here today, Si Zhanbei and the others would have died long ago. They would still have waited until now.
Even though he regretted it, an Chen was not a person who did not know the situation. He saw that his number was getting smaller and smaller, while Si Zhanbei and the others were getting more and more energetic. He directly ordered his men to retreat.
If there was a green mountain, there would be firewood.
So what if Si Zhanbei and the others won? This was not China. They would have to go back eventually, and he would have a chance.
An Chen led his men and retreated. Si Zhanbei and the others did not chase after them, but stopped to rest.
Gang Zi also came down from the mountain, and everyone sat together.
"Fox, Liu Wang, Chen Song, are you okay? " Si Zhanbei looked at Fox and the others who were sitting on the ground with guns in their hands and asked with concern.
Previously, they were still unconscious, and their injuries were not light. Now, they were with them, fighting with the enemy for so long, which made him a little worried.

She was a medical expert, talented and beautiful. She was reborn as his little wife. Her in-laws did not like her, her husband did not love her, and she was as timid as a mouse. She was weak and easy to bully.
When she became her, her goal was to flirt with him, flirt with him, flirt with him!
One day, she stood in front of him with a mischievous expression. "Young Master Si, I heard that you have a crush on me? "
Si Zhanbei raised his head and glanced at her. He stretched out his big hand and pulled her into his embrace. "Wife, this is a love affair. "
So... ... The result of flirting with him was that the sheep went into the tiger's mouth ...
