Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

The matter that Luanxiu was referring to was none other than this.

That means he didn't actually have to look for Matt Day's grave at all!

Luan Xiu could devour all the dead people in this cemetery one by one!

"I can't believe I didn't discover this bug in my 'Famous Japanese Celebrity System' sooner. Such a simple way to become stronger, and I missed it for so long..."

Luanxiu blamed herself in her heart.

Of course, the truth is that Ran Shu's journey began from when he became human, through the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, and then back to Konoha...

It only took about ten days.

So it doesn't seem too late to start getting stronger by devouring the people here!

Luanxiu walked a few steps along the path between the tombstones.

The names on the tombstones are all clearly visible.

"Yamanaka Yuichi died in Konoha 37 years ago..."

This person was likely a member of the Yamanaka clan, who died in the Second Shinobi World War.

"Hyuga Chika died in Konoha 42 years ago..."

The deceased was very beautiful, and looked to be no more than a teenager, but unfortunately, beauty cannot be a substitute for life.

"Uchiha Takakasa died in Konoha 22 years ago..."

This guy seems to be from Hashirama's era, and he died very young. But is the inscription on his tombstone, "died from massive bleeding from anal fissure," for real? No wonder the Uchiha clan makes fun of him...

"Might Guy died in Konoha 48 years ago..."

"Oh?"

Luanxiu stopped and looked at the name on the tombstone.

Unexpectedly, after wandering around for a while, he found Matt Day's tombstone here.

Might Guy's tombstone clearly records his life story, detailing his heroic deeds in battle against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

It must be said that, as a good father to Akai, his strength is not top-notch.

But he is definitely a great hero worthy of the Will of Fire!

Rest in peace. But your bravery will be passed down to me.

Luanxiu observed a minute of silence, then thought confidently without any restraint.

There's nothing left to hesitate about.

The entire cemetery's wealth will belong to Luanxiu in the future, so today, we'll make our first attempt here at Matt Dai!

"However... when I devoured Yekura, the system notified me of the [Corruption Penalty for Devoured Target], and the probability of obtaining rewards was automatically lowered. This means that the time and state of the deceased's death affect the acquisition of rewards. So, if I devour other dead people, such as that Uchiha who died in Konoha 22 years ago, will I still get rewards?"

This question arose in Luanxiu's mind.

However, this can only be known after testing, Ranxiu shook his head and dismissed the thought.

The most urgent task is to devour Matt Day.

After all, he and Yekura had only been dead for a year, so their situation should be similar to what it was back then.

"Devour".

Luanxiu issued the order.

[A specific behavior has been detected; the current feeding behavior can be switched to a phagocytic mode.]

[Potential consequences of consuming the current target]

[1. Learn the ninjutsu "Secret Technique: Eight Gates" and upgrade it to the state of opening the third gate, the Gate of Life, with a 71.35% probability (the reward has been automatically adjusted to compensate for the cremation penalty of being devoured)]

[Second, learn the taijutsu "Konoha Power Whirlwind", 28.64% probability]

III. Other random effects, 0.01% probability

[Should we choose to devour it?]

"Oh, I see."

Upon seeing the system notification, Luanxiu immediately understood the situation.

When Yekura was devoured last time, the system displayed a message about "Corruption Penalty for Devoured Target" and reduced the probability of obtaining high-level rewards, but did not weaken the reward content.

This time, when devouring Mighty, the system prompted "[Cremation penalty for the devoured target]", and then weakened the rewards, but did not reduce the reward probability.

It seems that the system's reward adjustment strategy varies slightly under different circumstances.

Therefore, it can be inferred that if Matt Dae had not been cremated and had just passed away...

Option one might become:

Learn the ninjutsu "Secret Technique: Eight Gates" and upgrade it to the state of opening the eighth gate, the Gate of Death.

That's how it is.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity, I can't even catch the ashes while they're still warm. Now I just hope my little backup plan doesn't go wrong."

Luanxiu said regretfully.

"Yes."

Luanxiu chose the option to devour.

[Successfully devoured! Extracting results...]

【▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░……80%】

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on drawing result 1, "Learning the ninjutsu 'Secret Technique: Eight Gates' and upgrading it to the third gate, 'Gate of Life' state"! The reward is being distributed.]

very good!

We've got it!

Regardless, the process of learning the Eight Gates is extremely difficult. Being able to learn the Eight Gates directly from Might Guy already saves a considerable amount of effort.

In an instant, Luanxiu felt the blood and qi surging within her body.

A surge of energy—what Luanxiu called Yang Qi in the original world—Yang-attribute chakra surged through his acupoints.

Soon, his breathing calmed down.

Luanxiu felt that the overall strength of his muscles had increased several levels!

[Rewards have been distributed, and Yang attribute chakra has been automatically awakened within you.]

The current target to be consumed is now prohibited from being eaten.

"Now, physical skills are no longer my weakness."

Luanxiu spread out her hands, looked at her palms from left to right, and felt the power coming from the source of her body.

Based on Ran Shu's current chakra reserves, by opening the Eight Gates: Gate of Life, he could potentially temporarily surpass his limits and reach a level comparable to Might Guy's current fourth or even fifth gate!

Of course, the only downside to learning the Eight Gates Formation these days is...

That means there are very few people who know this technique. In the future, if you want to unlock higher-level acupoints, you can only achieve it through your own cultivation.

The thought of Might Guy's training made Ran Xiu feel a little terrified.

It's worth noting that 5-year-old Matt Kay once accomplished the feat of running over 5000 laps around the track in a single day...

"Alright, the most important task for tonight is complete, so next..."

Luanxiu looked around the cemetery.

Then he took two steps back and walked to the tombstone of Uchiha Takaka that he had just seen.

"Brother Xiaohua, or perhaps I should say Grandpa Xiaohua, you are my first test subject."

Luanxiu thought to herself silently.

If Ranshu could devour this Uchiha who died 27 years ago.

Even if it only adds a little bit of chakra to Ran Shu, it means that Ran Shu's strength will continue to grow sustainably by relying on the corpses in the entire cemetery!

Could we exploit a system bug? Success or failure hinges on this!

"Then... devour."

Luanxiu said to the Xuanwu Celebrity System.

[A specific behavior has been detected; the current feeding behavior can be switched to a phagocytic mode.]

[Potential consequences of consuming the current target]

[I. Enhance...]

Suddenly, just as Luanxiu was concentrating on checking the system information, an aged voice drifted into Luanxiu's ears from beside him:

"Young man..."

Damn it!

Just now, Ran Shu's attention was completely focused on Uchiha Takaka, and he didn't expect that someone—or maybe not human—suddenly called his name!

In an instant, a large amount of green steam involuntarily emanated from Luanxiu's body.

"Who is this person? Who could possibly frighten me into unleashing my third gate, the Eight Gates Formation, in one fell swoop?"

Luan Xiu's muscles were tense, ready for battle.

In the eerie cemetery at night...

Luanxiu held her breath and looked toward the source of the sound.
