Five hundred million, or fifty million?
Uchiha Shi stood silently, staring at the two options before him.
To be honest, the hardships he had endured were nothing compared to five hundred million.
With five hundred million, he could use the money to slap the 'big brother's' face hard, making him regret it bitterly and kneel down to lick his newly bought Berluti shoes.
He could drive a luxury car that he could only admire from a distance, no longer having to rush through wind and rain every day.
He could even casually hand over two million, buy the house of the mean landlord in the era of plummeting housing prices, and watch the landlord's condescending gaze turn to utter bewilderment, wondering if this kid was the long-lost son of some wealthy tycoon.
Five hundred million, that's five hundred million!
With this five hundred million, I'd be a living dragon king!
However, Uchiha Shi couldn't help but recall the brief year he spent in the Shinobi World, a year where he didn't have to worry about the next day or his basic needs, where he could follow the routine of training within the Clan and completing insignificant missions to save up a seven-digit deposit. Despite the Clan elders' harsh words, they genuinely cared for him, and he could always find a basket of rice, flour, vegetables, and eggs at his doorstep every week.
It was a peaceful year, a year that made him feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
After leaving the Clan, the Clan's Great Elder, Uchiha Setsuna, lost half his life to save him and was still in a critical condition.
His new little brother, Fugaku, would follow him like a shadow despite knowing the danger, and would jump off a cliff with his eyes closed because of his trust.
And then, the cutest girl Uchiha Shi had ever seen would hold his dead body and display a look of sorrow.
It made him drool, wishing he could transform into a demon and pounce on her.
But, Uchiha Shi knew it was all a lie.
The brief peace in the Shinobi World was a lie.
His grand image in others' eyes, driven by the purpose of sacrificing himself for insurance, was a lie.
The true face of the Shinobi World was filled with blood, tears, hatred, anger, and madness.
And he wasn't a hero from a story, neither noble nor just.
From the beginning, he was a greedy and lustful commoner, a fraud.
However, five hundred million, that was real!
Losing four hundred and fifty million was more painful for the frugal Uchiha Shi than being stabbed.
So, Uchiha Shi's eyes narrowed as he looked at the two options.
He immediately clasped his hands together and muttered "Amitabha,"
thinking, Fugaku, my brother, I'm already burned out. Whatever happens next is up to your fate. I'll light three incense sticks for you in another world, in front of your figurine.
If that doesn't work, I can burn some paper money. For 500 RMB, I can get 10,319 JPY, and if I convert it all to 1 JPY notes, that's a thick stack.
It's a sincere gesture!
After all, you've seen, I only have 5.26 RMB left. To burn paper money for you, I'd have to take out a loan, which is a significant sacrifice.
Sorry, brother, our friendship is worth 500 RMB, not a penny more.
After reciting this long string of thoughts, Uchiha Shi smiled.
He stood up straight, raised his hand, and was about to choose the option, ready to welcome his new life as a living dragon king!
However, just as his finger was about to touch the option, "Hush"
A sweet, strawberry-scented breeze, blowing from the rainstorm, blowing through the crack in the window, blowing from the endless darkness, after passing through countless relays, finally reached this rain-soaked room.
Uchiha Shi's heart, which had already burned out, and his empty, cold chest, suddenly surged with a wave of hot blood, spreading through his entire body in an instant.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The world froze, cracks spreading.
A glow like a red dawn suddenly shattered the dark clouds of the night.
It was the light of dawn.
It was a kiss that could dissolve even Susanoo.

"1310."
"1311."
"1312."
Land of Hot Springs.
On the cliff beside the Evil God Sect's headquarters.
Shennong, looking at the scene before him, casually healed the wound he had made on Uchiha Shi's chest and silently counted in his mind.
That was all he could do.
Placing a heart in Uchiha Shi's chest, everything else, including artificial respiration, was handled by the Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration and Secret Technique: Earth Grudge Puppet Stitching within his body.
Even chest compressions weren't necessary, making it extremely convenient.
Any medical ninja would be overjoyed to see such a patient and wish for more.
However, whether Uchiha Shi would survive was still uncertain.
Such a case would even confuse Tsunade, one of the Sannin.
Let alone him, a barefoot doctor.
"Is he alright? Has he come back to life?"
Terumi Mei, panting, suddenly lifted her chin, pulling a glistening thread, and glared angrily at Shennong.
Upon hearing the girl's question, Shennong immediately put on a serious face and said, "Soon, very soon. I can feel a force awakening inside him."
Terumi Mei gritted her teeth, "You said that half an hour ago! Can you give me a definite answer?"
Shennong glanced at the motionless Uchiha Shi, thinking that after so long without any change, he was probably truly dead.
Should he take him back for an autopsy?
Just as he was considering whether it would be impolite to drag him away, he suddenly sensed a surging, evil, and cold chakra rising from the ground.
Shennong's eyes narrowed, looking at Uchiha Shi's eyes, and he said solemnly, "This time, it's real."
Terumi Mei's face showed a hint of a smile, but her forehead veins were throbbing. What did this guy think of her first kiss?
"Alright, this is the last time!"
"If he still doesn't change, I'll melt both of you."
She coldly said this, glared at him, and then turned back, skillfully pulling up Uchiha Shi's chin, and pressed her red lips to his, fitting perfectly.
She thought to herself that if Uchiha Shi didn't wake up this time, the next breath she would blow would be the Boil Release: Ingenious Mist Technique.
However, before Terumi Mei could exhale, Uchiha Shi, who had been lying motionless for over an hour, suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for air.
His heavy breath hit Terumi Mei's face, making her freeze.
A pair of Sharingan eyes lit up, with bloodshot whites.
Uchiha Shi watched as five hundred million flew away before his eyes, and the Single Tomoe in his pupils couldn't help but spin wildly, about to split into two, then three.
However, the next moment, the young man and woman's eyes met, and the air fell into a silence.
Uchiha Shi blinked.
Seeing Terumi Mei kissing him, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.
His pupils dilated, and he began to wonder if he was already dead and in heaven.
Looking into the girl's angry and embarrassed eyes, he wished he could rush to a forum and post a brag, then ask the netizens online:
"Damn, I was forcibly kissed by a super cute girl, should she be responsible for me, or should I be responsible for her?
Ah, I want to scratch my head.
I wasn't prepared at all, and I haven't even met her parents. How did it come to this?
Terumi Mei's breathing suddenly stopped, her face turning bright red, and steam almost rising from her head.
The awkwardness and embarrassment were almost unbearable.
Online, very urgent, after giving the young man artificial respiration more than a thousand times, would he think she had ulterior motives?
Terumi Mei immediately stood up, covering her face, and turned her head to look at the sunrise, a smooth series of actions, then pretended nothing had happened, as if she was just admiring the beautiful dawn, trying to make Uchiha Shi believe it was all an illusion.
Thus, the fresh morning breeze of spring carried the scent of youth, awakening the sunrise.
Uchiha Shi touched his lips, blushing, his eyes following the girl's moving figure.
She stood in the dawn, her ears red, her chestnut-brown hair swaying in the wind.
Her long hair fluttered, creating a beautiful scene.
The atmosphere became subtly awkward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
