Chapter 127 : The temptation to go home!

Kazuhiko felt the subtle shifts in his body's connection to natural energy. His perception had undergone a significant enhancement; though his physical form remained unchanged, the proximity of natural energy to him had increased by an indeterminate degree.

Presently fixated on the concept of "closeness," Kazuhiko reminisced about the challenges he faced in perceiving natural energy before. It used to be like a playful game of hide-and-seek with a mischievous kitten or puppy—difficult to locate, requiring substantial effort and time.

However, as Kazuhiko focused on it now, he could sense it readily responding to his call. In his words, the affinity had reached its maximum.

Contentedly experiencing the flow of natural energy, Kazuhiko opened his eyes. Although he could now "imbibe" natural energy by mere proximity, he remained uncertain about the process and potential risks. He resolved to seek guidance from Sage Katsuyu in the Shikkotsu Forest, finding it safer to have her expertise by his side.

Suddenly, he noticed a line of rewards, and the sign-in was 100% successful, unlocking rewards: a world-shuttle scroll and the permanent coordinates of the ninja world. 

??????533?????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????? One, the blessing of the world's will and good thoughts!

The blessing of the world's will and kindness is still distant for me now; after all, my mission remains incomplete.

At this moment, my existence is, at best, a minor concern for the world consciousness, but I've already maximized my affinity with the natural energy of the ninja world.

Then, when the world is bestowed with good thoughts in the future, how much benefit will I gain?

Kazuhiko was filled with anticipation.

Reflecting on the blessing of the world's will and kindness, Kazuhiko felt distant from such grand notions, given that his mission remained unfulfilled. Yet, with his newfound affinity for natural energy at its peak, he anticipated potential benefits from future blessings.

The permanent coordinates of the ninja world seemed too remote for immediate use, according to Kazuhiko's novel experience from his past life. The world shuttle scroll, however, was the reward that intrigued him the most.

As he pondered its function, a surge of excitement coursed through Kazuhiko. Summoning his courage, he asked the system about the scroll's purpose and whether it could return him to his original world.

[Host, the world shuttle scroll allows travel between various worlds. ]

[If the Host wishes to return to the original world, they can verify whether the scroll can access the Host's world. ]

[However, Host, please note that some world shuttle scrolls have designated directions, limiting immediate transportation to distant worlds. ]

[Therefore, if the Host desires to return to their original world, they must obtain the World Shuttle Scroll and investigate its capabilities independently. The system cannot guarantee a 100% return to the original world. ]

Upon hearing the system's response, Kazuhiko clenched his fists, unable to contain his excitement. While the system offered no guarantees, the mere possibility of returning to his original world filled him with hope—a prospect he had never dared to entertain before.

At this moment, an unexpected surprise unfolded!

(BFFH) How could this fail to bring joy to Kazuhiko?

This world-class mission couldn't have come at a better time for Kazuhiko.

It wasn't just about the unexpected rewards from world-class tasks; it also involved a world-shifting scroll.

This meant the possibility of returning home – back to his original world!

The sudden turn of events left Kazuhiko elated and thrilled for an extended period.

Despite being a lone wolf in that world, he was still a family man at heart.

While his parents had passed away, the homestead remained his abode for numerous years.

Everything in that world held a special place in his heart.

He may not have a significant other there, but his dear grandmother was laid to rest.

After losing his parents in a car accident, he had graduated from high school, preparing for college. The demise of his parents had been a tough blow, but he had the means to fend for himself, thanks to the insurance company's compensation – sufficient to complete college and purchase a home.

Though these two worlds mirrored each other in some aspects, each held its own unique past. The other world harbored his nearest kin, resting peacefully.

Having dwelled there for many years, Kazuhiko still had three friends, even if he lacked a familial bond.

He longed to return and visit the hut where he resided alone after his parents' demise.

The chance to go back was a chance to return home!

Just like people leaving their hometowns for work, despite the inevitable hassles during visits, they still long to return home when they can, especially during the Chinese New Year.

Although he anticipated family members' nagging and the mundane aspects of life, he still desired to go home next year after the Chinese New Year.

Hence, that world was his original home, and being able to return held immense significance for Kazuhiko.

In Kazuhiko's heart, even if he possessed the power to reshape the entire ninja world, he still yearned to revisit that small room in his hut.

He wanted to return to the bustling city, the breakfast shop downstairs, and the countryside of his childhood to tend to his grandma's grave.

This world-class sign-in task was a delightful surprise for Kazuhiko.

Having previously decided to change this tumultuous world, he was now more determined than ever!

Whatever it took, he had to complete this world-class sign-in quest, not just for the mission but to go back home!

The current Kazuhiko was driven by a profound ambition!

Now that he knew his ultimate goal, Kazuhiko was visibly more spirited, eager to traverse Konoha for dozens of kilometers.

He felt a crucial sense of purpose, a mission named – to go home!
