24 Chapter 24: Reward
When Yuya finished "dancing," Ino dragged him back to the bonfire with a dazed expression, but Anko was nowhere to be seen. Shikamaru was patting his belly, looking up at the sky and lamenting his life, while Choji was still eating and the aroma of barbecue wafted through the air.
Looking around, Yuya didn't see Anko, so he asked Shikamaru, "Where did Mayor Anko go?"
"Let's go," Shikamaru turned his head towards Yuya, blinked twice, and lazily said, "Mayor Anko said she still has something to do and went to ask for payment from Master Iruka."
Yuya didn't say anything. It's okay to leave, if she doesn't leave, he will have a headache! Anko likes to "tease" Ino, and Ino, a little girl, also has an inexplicable hostility towards Anko, and he really isn't good at being caught in the middle.
"Here, here's water!" Ino, who was sitting on the ground and eating roasted pork in a bowl, reached out to Yuya, holding his glass of water in her hand, and indistinctly said, "Your mouth and lips are about to crack, right? Did you bring water today?"
After taking the glass of water, Yuya sat down next to Ino, raised his head, and carefully raised the glass of water.
Ino looked at him and laughed, arched her eyebrows, and said softly, "Just drink it calmly."
After drinking enough water, Yuya put down the glass, licked his tongue in his mouth, and then met Ino's playful eyes, smiled lightly and said, "I know."
There's no fragrance of fine wine, but there's the fragrance of barbecue, laughter, and a bonfire that rises to the sky. It's estimated that the bonfire party will end around 8:30.
He didn't return with Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru this time because he still had to go to Iruka to collect his reward. When he knocked on Iruka's door, some ninjas with forehead protectors came out, nodded at Yuya, and left.
"Oh, Yuya, come in!" Iruka greeted him with a big smile on his face.
Yuya entered and said, "Mr. Iruka, I'm here to collect the reward."
"Ah, thank you for your hard work today. This is your reward, and here's Anko's reward too. She hasn't come to pick it up from me yet, and I heard she was bothering you with the boys," Iruka smiled, knowing this old colleague of his.
"Okay," Yuya nodded, "Thank you, Master Iruka. I'll give it to Mayor Anko when I see her."
"Okay, it's getting late. Thank you for your hard work today!" Iruka patted Yuya's head and said.
It was past nine o'clock when Yuya returned home and threw two envelopes in the cabinet. He let out a long sigh of relief and threw himself onto the bed.
He hadn't rested for more than 12 hours since he left the house in the morning. He was a little tired after not having to go on missions for a month.
["Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the task: Campus Inspection!"]
["Reward for completing the task: Neko Neko Fruit: Leopard Model!"]
"Huh?" Yuya froze for a moment, opened his eyes and saw a burst of golden light, and then a fruit appeared right next to him.
Sitting up straight, Yuya picked up the fruit and couldn't help but be surprised, "Is this... a Devil Fruit?"
He recognized it at a glance. It was something from One Piece: Rob Lucci's Neko Neko Fruit. He really didn't expect the reward given by the system after completing the task this time to turn out to be a devil fruit.
But the devil fruit seems to have a weakness... it can't swim and is afraid of seawater. Although he is now in Konoha Village, far from the sea, he cannot guarantee that he will never go to the Land of Water.
At that time, this weakness will be fatal.
"To eat or not to eat..."
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly found an "attribute" entry appearing on the fruit, and clicked on it without hesitation.
["Neko Neko Fruit, Zoan Devil Fruit. Leopard type classification: After eating, the human body will take on the form of a leopard, similar to a "saber-toothed leopard". It is huge in size, brutally enhanced, and its physical ability is greatly improved. Weaknesses: none"]
Yuya's eyes were fixed on "none", and his heart burst with ecstasy! The fruit in his hand is a devil fruit without the curse of the sea!
Opening his mouth without hesitation, Yuya began to devour the devil fruit in big bites. The sweet and sour taste was delicious, and the system was quite humanized.
After all, a devil fruit in One Piece definitely wouldn't taste this delicious.
Yuya licked his lips, and after a while, he finished swallowing all the contents.
After some time, Yuya felt his body getting hotter and hotter, and suddenly his clothes were bursting! In an instant, he turned into a leopard over three meters long and larger than a common tiger.
In an instant, Yuya, who was on all fours, raised his big furry hands, and his heart was filled with joy for a moment.
Is it so... big?
But then Yuya thought about it and realized that it was normal. After all, there are animals tens of meters long in One Piece, so he could still accept this beast form.
With a thought, he used the hybrid transformation. Standing at about 2.5 meters tall, he was almost as tall as the ceiling. He could clearly feel that the speed of his body had increased and his organs had become more sensitive.
He could even hear the voices of children sneaking around and talking in the house next door.
He casually waved his fist, and the lamp hanging from the ceiling swayed. The fist was so majestic that it quickly stopped.
If he broke the lamp, the owner would surely kick him out!
The room was too small, so Yuya returned to his normal state and planned to find some time to go to the training ground and test his hybrid form.
However, even under normal conditions, his strength has become a little stronger, but the fatigue of his body is also immense.
There was a flash of light in his eyes, and Yuya thought that if someone asked, he could say that it was similar to the technique used by the Inuzuka clan.
Yes, it's silly.
But it was the only thing he could think of.
