Chapter 140: Hero Saves the Damsel!

Fujinaka Genma shook his head silently.

That’s just stubborn pride.

Tsunade’s hemophobia is a mental disorder, and it’s rarely resolved by oneself.

But Fujinaka Genma said no more.

Instead, he waited until Tsunade left, then called Jiraiya and Kushina Uzumaki to the Hokage’s office and laid out his plan.

“This… deceiving Tsunade like this isn’t very right, is it?”

Kushina Uzumaki hesitated.

Jiraiya, however, wore a lewd grin and secretly gave Fujinaka Genma a thumbs-up.

Because Fujinaka Genma’s proposed treatment for Tsunade was a mock attack on Konoha.

Fujinaka Genma would play the attacker, while his toad sage, Jiraiya himself, would be the hero saving the damsel.

He would fight desperately for Tsunade, ultimately collapsing in a pool of blood.

Yeah, the blood had to splash all over Tsunade’s face!

Just imagining Tsunade clutching him, weeping in sorrow, Jiraiya’s grin grew even lewder.

Kushina Uzumaki couldn’t watch anymore and reminded him: “Teacher Jiraiya, Itachi’re drooling.”

“Ah…”

Jiraiya snapped back, casually wiped his mouth, then adopted a solemn, righteous tone: “I think Genma’s method is excellent!”

“And it achieves two goals at once: testing the effectiveness of the special emergency response unit and checking for weaknesses in Konoha’s defense system.”

“After all, we never know when the enemy might strike.”

Fujinaka Genma stared at Jiraiya’s serious face, utterly speechless.

How was this guy so sharp just now, when he clearly wasn’t before?

“Alright, the plan’s settled!”

Jiraiya didn’t want to risk delays: “Minato, arrange it quickly.”

“And Kushina, absolutely don’t let Tsunade find out—otherwise the plan won’t work.”

After speaking, Jiraiya dashed off, afraid he might be stopped.

Hokage’s Office.

Fujinaka Genma said seriously: “Teacher Kushina, Teacher Minato, the one who proposed this plan was Jiraiya, right?”

“Of course!”

Minato Namikaze nodded seriously.

Kushina Uzumaki couldn’t hide her smile and feigned seriousness: “That’s right—this whole idea was Jiraiya’s.”

“Besides, only Jiraiya could come up with a scheme like this—hero saving the damsel?”

After speaking.

The three burst into laughter.

Leaving the Hokage Tower, it was exactly noon; Fujinaka Genma didn’t return to the Root base but went straight to the Konoha Hospital to pick up Hyuga Mio for lunch.

After lunch, Hyuga Mio immediately went to nap with Fujinaka Genma.

They held each other, listening to each other’s breaths, chatting softly.

But Hyuga Mio’s face was always flushed, her breathing rapid and irregular.

Because two mischievous hands kept playing tricks on her.

“Huh, seems like they’ve grown a bit…”

“It’s all your fault—and they’re still developing anyway.”

“Yours are too…”

Hyuga Mio struck right at the weak point.

Fujinaka Genma drew in a breath…

Half an hour later.

They took turns bathing.

Except for the final step, everything that should and shouldn’t be done had already been done.

And this wasn’t the first time.

If Hyuga Mio weren’t still too young, Fujinaka Genma would’ve already taken her right there.

In the afternoon, after dropping Hyuga Mio off at the Konoha Hospital, Fujinaka Genma’s main body remained at Root to handle affairs, while his shadow clones trained.

Outside physical training, shadow clones can accumulate experience points.

For example, training in chakra nature transformation.

Merging magnetism and lightning natures.

Training for Lei Shen Susano-o—he placed this directly on a small island overseas.

The place he found during the standoff with the Cloud Ninja; convenient, since he had Flying Thunder God.

Soon.

The entire afternoon passed, and one by one, the shadow clones returned.

Fujinaka Genma rested for half an hour before heading out to pick up Hyuga Mio.

But they didn’t eat together tonight, because today was the last day of the year—they’d celebrate New Year’s Eve at home.

Tomorrow was the new year.

In the evening, after eating New Year’s noodles, Fujinaka Genma and his mother Akie kept watch together, chatting about trivial matters.

Though only two of them, Fujinaka Genma felt warm.

Midnight, twelve o’clock.

As the New Year’s Eve bell rang, the new year finally arrived.

After saying goodnight, Fujinaka Genma returned to his bedroom but didn’t rest immediately.

Konoha Year 47, January 1st: the Kengan System refreshed, granting 10 attribute points and 10 skill points.

Currently, he had 140,000 Kengan points.

Spending all the quota—10 attribute points cost 10,000 Kengan points, 10 skill points cost 10,000 Kengan points—left him with 120,000 Kengan points.

He also still had one Immortal Talisman.

“Finally rich again.”

Looking at the Kengan System interface, Fujinaka Genma smiled.

He switched to his character attributes and expanded the basic stats.

Constitution: 1372, Agility: 46, Intelligence: 56, Charm: 85.

Ten attribute points seemed like a lot, but felt insufficient when allocating.

“Just boost Agility and Intelligence…”

Fujinaka Genma paused, then suddenly shifted his focus—the interface switched to the shop.

He directly selected the innate skill.

Many options.

Various Kekkei Genkai.

But Fujinaka Genma wasn’t looking for ordinary Kekkei Genkai.

He wanted Kengan System-style innate skills—like Strong Bones—that could continuously enhance base stats.

He still had three open innate skill slots; he could easily acquire one that boosted Agility.

Soon.

Fujinaka Genma’s eyes lit up: “Found it!”

Innate skill—Running: each level increases walking speed, body coordination, and neural reaction speed by 10%.

Perfectly targeted at Agility!

“I should’ve bought this skill long ago!”

After reading the description, Fujinaka Genma felt regret.

The innate skill wasn’t expensive—just 10,000 Kengan points.

Fujinaka Genma bought it without hesitation.

It started at Level 1, boosting Agility by 10%, along with base movement speed.

The key was Agility: from 46 to 50.6.

“Now I can allocate all attribute points to Intelligence. Agility can be improved by leveling up Running.”

Fujinaka Genma immediately switched back to the character interface.

He had 10 available attribute points and 11 skill points—the one from his last level-up had been saved.

Intelligence +10!

Intelligence rose to 66!

The massive boost made Fujinaka Genma feel as if a sledgehammer had struck his skull—he reeled, dazed, his mind swirling, and it took a while to recover.

Then he clearly felt his memory and thought speed had greatly improved.

“Awesome!”

The feeling of becoming smarter, Fujinaka Genma decided, was more addictive than pure strength gain.

“Continue!”

Adding points was exhilarating; with a single thought, Fujinaka Genma’s talent skill Running increased by 9!

He instantly leveled up to level 10.

That meant his Agility stat increased by another 90%.

From now on, every upgrade to his Agility talent would double in effect.

So now, his Agility stat—starting from the original 46 before any Running skill was added—doubled outright.

It became 92!

Among the four stats, it surpassed the 85-point Charm stat, ranking second only to Constitution.

The doubling effect caused Fujinaka Genma’s body to crash.
