Chapter 30- Rewards Received
Chapter 30 - Rewards Received
As we made our way toward Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma, and Raidō Namiashi, I couldn't help but notice the way Yuhi's gaze lingered on my eyes. Her stare was intense, curious. I knew exactly why—my crimson red eyes were unlike anything she had seen before. In Konoha, the only person known to have red eyes was Yuhi herself. She must have been wondering who else in the village shared this rare trait.
Ding!
Yuhi's Favorability increased to 5.
"Nice to meet you again, Yuhi, Asuma, and Raidō," I greeted them with a warm smile. "You might not recognize me at first because of my current appearance, but I'm Ruki Oguchi."
"Ruki!!" Yuhi and Raidō exclaimed simultaneously, their expressions shifting from surprise to recognition.
Asuma, however, didn't react. He didn't remember me from before, even if I had shown him my previous appearance. Asuma, back in his childhood, was quite the troublemaker—ten times worse than Naruto, if you could believe it. His behavior often put others in difficult situations, and they had to endure it because of the Hokage's reputation.
"Ruki, how did you end up like this?" Raidō asked, concern evident in his voice.
"It's a long story," I replied with a small chuckle. "I'll explain everything when we have more time."
"Okay," Raidō nodded, satisfied with the promise.
"What were you doing before we arrived?" Asuma asked, his curiosity piqued.
"We were heading to the playground to test our strength," Obito chimed in, brandishing a kunai with a mischievous grin.
"Then let's go together! We've had a good rest since returning to the village," Yuhi suggested with a smile, her enthusiasm contagious.
With that, we all began walking toward the playground. As we moved, the sky shifted—clouds drifted in to cover the sun, and a cool breeze began to blow. The change in weather made the scenery even more beautiful, the perfect backdrop for our little gathering.
As we neared the playground, a familiar notification sounded in my head.

As the notifications rolled in, a sense of accomplishment washed over me. The system's rewards were generous, and the new title, "Little Fire Prince," would surely come in handy in my training and future battles. The playground was now in sight, and with these new tools and power-ups, I was more than ready to put them to good use.
