In Naruto as Zhongli-Chapter 59: INAZ - 58

---

[The current roleplay progress has reached 30%. Does the Host wish to draw Zhongli's skill now?]

[Yes/No]

Shinji directly clicked on Yes. Zhongli only had 3 skills: Normal Attack - Rain of Stone, Dominus Lapidis, and Planet Befall. At 10%, Shinji drew Dominus Lapidis. At 20%, he drew Planet Befall. Meaning, if nothing unexpected happened, the remaining skill this time would be Rain of Stone.

Ding ding ding~ For a moment, light surged. When the light stopped. Shinji had already clearly seen the skill description.

Normal Attack: Rain of Stone

Performs up to six consecutive spear strikes.

Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to move rapidly forward, raining down spears of stone along the path and at the destination.

Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Yes, this was Zhongli's last skill. Just as Shinji drew Rain of Stone, instructions on how to use Rain of Stone began to enter Shinji's mind.

"I see. Looks like I need to craft a suitable weapon," Shinji looked at the prompt in the system. This skill was quite good. Moreover, Shinji, having reached 30% roleplay progress, was already very powerful.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations Host for achieving 30% Zhongli Roleplay Progress. Please continue your efforts]

"The time... should be about right..." Shinji looked out the window. It was already mid-July. The scorching sun baked the earth. It was noon now, and there were basically no pedestrians on the street. Moreover, since most ninjas were currently not in the village, it suddenly seemed much more deserted.

"Lord Shinji, what time is about right?" Karin had just bought some Three Color Dango from next door and happened to hear Shinji's words.

"Nothing. But we need to prepare a gift," Shinji didn't reveal anything, instead turning back to his room.

"Gift?" Karin repeated somewhat puzzledly but didn't probe further. Since Shinji didn't ask her to prepare it, it meant Shinji himself would prepare this so-called gift.

...

...

Time flew like a white steed flashing past a crack. Soon, ten days passed. It was now July 23rd, Konoha Year 49. All day today, Itachi hadn't come looking for Deidara, which made Deidara somewhat curious. Ever since Deidara obtained the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, Itachi basically came over every day to find Deidara for training or trained in Deidara's room. So, today, until the afternoon, Deidara felt somewhat restless.

At dinner time, Shinji suddenly changed his clothes and came out.

"Are we going somewhere, Lord Shinji?" Karin asked first.

"Karin, Deidara, you go change your clothes. We're going to Itachi's house as guests," Shinji said with a smile.

"Go to Itachi's house as guests? Why?" Deidara asked somewhat puzzledly.

"Today is little Sasuke's birthday. Itachi told me yesterday to let us go over together tonight," Shinji stated calmly.

"Today is Sasuke's birthday? But I haven't prepared a gift yet," Karin said somewhat nervously.

"No need for that. I've prepared one," This was also why Shinji hadn't told them. In Shinji's habit, for this kind of gift, it was enough for the parent to prepare it. Karin and Deidara were still children; naturally, they didn't need to prepare any gifts.

"Hehe, I've changed my clothes," Deidara suddenly jumped out, already wearing a new set of clothes.

"So fast?" Karin said, somewhat stunned. Only a few seconds passed? You've already taken off and put on new clothes? How did you achieve this speed?

"Just changing clothes, how much time could it take?" Deidara glanced at Karin, his eyes full of pride.

"Hmph hmph! I'll go change clothes first too!" Karin said unconvinced, then quickly walked upstairs to change. Of course, although Karin said so, Shinji and Deidara waited for her on the first floor for a full twenty minutes before she came down.

"All ready, right?" Shinji picked up the gift he had prepared.

"Yes, Lord Shinji."

"Then let's set off." After speaking, Shinji went out first. Deidara, being the last one out, closed the door of the All-Purpose Shop, and then the two followed Shinji towards Fugaku Uchiha's home.

At this time, within the Uchiha clan's residential area, the Police Force was patrolling. Previously, there were no people from other clans opening shops within the Uchiha's territory. But now, since the reform of the Konoha Military Police Force, a small number of people from other clans had begun conducting business activities within the Uchiha's residential area.

Regarding this point, Fugaku Uchiha also gave the green light. Initially, the Uchiha clan members had some opinions. But gradually, they all became accustomed to it. And those who came to open shops in the Uchiha clan's area initially felt somewhat apprehensive, but gradually found that the Uchiha clan members were actually quite easy to talk to in daily life. Thus, over time, the Uchiha clan's residential area gradually became livelier.

"Boss Shinji, you've arrived?" Shinji, Karin, and Deidara had just arrived at the entrance of Fugaku Uchiha's house. Izumi Uchiha had also just arrived, holding a gift in her hand as well.

"Yes, Izumi. Looks like your status will be official soon," Looking at Izumi, a smile appeared on Shinji's face. Being able to come to Fugaku Uchiha's home for dinner and celebration at this time, looks like Izumi's status as the Uchiha clan's young mistress was secured...

"Boss Shinji, you're teasing me again," Izumi's cheeks flushed slightly at Shinji's teasing. Speaking of this matter, Shinji played a significant role in it. Moreover, Mikoto Uchiha quite liked Izumi. Over time, Fugaku Uchiha also tacitly acknowledged the fact that Izumi was Itachi's girlfriend.

"Hehe, go in together?" Shinji chuckled hehe, then signaled Karin and Deidara behind him to go in together.

"Boss Shinji, Izumi, Karin, and Deidara, you've all arrived," Mikoto Uchiha was busy with something in the living room and happened to see several people walking in.

"We've come to impose, Mikoto," Shinji took a step forward.

"How can you say impose? Sasuke will definitely be very happy that you could come," Mikoto Uchiha came before the group with a smile.

"Clan Head Fugaku hasn't returned yet?" Shinji looked towards the tea room. Generally, if Fugaku Uchiha was home, he would be in that tea room.

"Not yet. The battle on the front lines is said to be still very intense. Don't know when it will end," Mikoto Uchiha sighed. Her husband was still on the battlefield; naturally, it was false to say she wasn't worried.

"Probably another year or so," It was currently Konoha Year 49, meaning the war between Kumogakure and Konoha village would only truly end in Konoha Year 51. At that time, Kumogakure would form a delegation to come to Konoha.

"Sigh, really hope the war ends soon," Mikoto Uchiha looked somewhat absentmindedly out the window. Swords on the battlefield were ruthless.

"Shisui is beside Fugaku. Neither of them will have any problems," Shinji comforted Mikoto Uchiha.

"By the way, Aunt Mikoto, why don't I see Itachi?" Deidara looked left and right but didn't see Itachi's figure.

"Itachi should be in the kitchen. He said he wanted to make the most perfect birthday fried egg for Sasuke. He should still be working hard at it now," Mikoto Uchiha said somewhat helplessly. Remember, Itachi had already wasted quite a few eggs...

"I'll go take a look!" Hearing this, Deidara immediately perked up and rushed straight towards the kitchen. Shinji was also somewhat curious and followed along into the kitchen.

At this moment. In the kitchen. Itachi stared seriously at the frying pan before him, holding a spatula in one hand and an egg in the other.

"Sharingan! Open!" Suddenly, a single tomoe Sharingan appeared in Itachi's eyes. Under the Sharingan's enhancement, everything about the frying pan was exposed to his sight.

"The oil in this spot isn't even. It won't be round later," Itachi said seriously, then picked up the oil pan and added a bit more oil. Then, in an instant, the egg in Itachi's hand was suddenly raised high. Then, with force from his palm, the eggshell directly broke into two halves. The sizzling sound of oil and the delightful aroma of eggs. All these preparations were to fry the most perfect egg!

No! Itachi's brow suddenly furrowed tightly. The surface of this fried egg wasn't round enough! No! This was supposed to be Sasuke's birthday fried egg; how could it end so sloppily? Itachi casually scooped the egg out of the pan and placed it on another plate. At this moment, that plate already had a large stack of failed fried eggs. Clearly, Itachi had been frying for quite some time. Just now, Itachi's heart wavered due to failure.

Watching Itachi's actions, everyone present felt somewhat struck dumb. This? Was this still the always calm Itachi Uchiha? Why?

"Itachi, what are you doing?" Deidara suddenly walked forward and interrupted Itachi's continuation.

"Ah, Deidara, Boss Shinji, Karin, Izumi, you've all arrived," Only then did Itachi speak as if waking from a dream. But upon seeing Izumi's expression, it seemed somewhat... unpleasant?

"Itachi," Izumi suddenly came before Itachi with a smile.

"What's wrong, Izumi?" Itachi clearly hadn't realized the severity of the situation yet.

"Last month on my birthday, it seems... I didn't even get to eat the fried egg you prepared for me?" Izumi narrowed her eyes somewhat dangerously.

"Fried egg? I did get to eat that," Deidara插 (chā - interjected/stuck in) disastrously.

"Hehe, even Deidara got to eat it?" Hearing this, Izumi directly laughed out of anger. Good grief. Fine if you make it for your little brother, but even Deidara got to eat it while I didn't? This? Between Deidara and me, who is your girlfriend? If this isn't clarified properly today, how can we live together in the future?

"Ahem, Izumi, listen to my explanation..." Itachi clearly knew where Izumi's anger point was. He glared directly at Deidara, the instigator, then quickly came beside Izumi to explain.

Watching Itachi's appearance, Shinji and Karin both looked like they couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, one thing conquers another.

...

...

Of course, this small interlude didn't last long. After clarifying things, Shinji personally stepped up to teach Itachi how to fry the most perfect egg. Itachi directly activated his Sharingan and copied the entire process. Finally, just as the birthday party was about to begin, Mikoto Uchiha and Izumi cooperated to rush out the dishes for the birthday party. And now, Mikoto Uchiha also went upstairs to bring down today's little birthday star, Sasuke Uchiha.

Suddenly seeing so many people, Sasuke was clearly still somewhat unaccustomed, shyly trying to hide in Mikoto Uchiha's embrace.

"Mo... ther... Sca... red..." Sasuke mumbled somewhat unclearly. At one year old, Sasuke could already utter some incoherent words.

"Sasuke, these are all people you know," Mikoto Uchiha comforted Sasuke.

"Mother, let me," Itachi directly took Sasuke from Mikoto Uchiha's arms. After Itachi took over, Sasuke was clearly not so scared anymore, even looking happily at Itachi Uchiha.
