The ninja who habitually walks on rooftops was undoubtedly Tenten.
She had just finished a mission yesterday, and today she received good news from her parents. As soon as it was light, she hurriedly ate breakfast and eagerly came to share the good news with Ryun.
But when she reached the roof of Ryun's house, she discovered a hole broken through the roof, which frightened her so much her face turned deathly pale.
Especially when she saw Ryun lying weakly in bed, she thought he had been attacked.
Tenten flipped down into Ryun's bedroom, rushed over, and began feeling his body with her hands, checking if he was injured anywhere.
This made Ryun feel ticklish all over. He casually pulled Tenten into his arms and said in a slightly authoritative voice, "Don't move. I'm fine."
"Ah? Ah!"
At first, Tenten didn't quite understand what was happening and instinctively tried to break free from Ryun's embrace.
But for some reason, after struggling a few times, the strength gradually drained from her body. It was as if Ryun's warm chest had a magical power, making Tenten involuntarily press herself closer.
Slowly, Ryun realized the person in his arms was becoming burning hot.
He, who had nearly fallen asleep, then released Tenten. However, Tenten still didn't leave. She just shifted her legs, hooking her ankles together, adjusting to a more comfortable position as she lay on Ryun's chest.
In that instant, Ryun felt as if something had changed.
[Ding, deeper contact with the ninja Tenten, simulation count +3.]
Ryun's eyes gleamed slightly. Had it finally reached this stage?
Besides obtaining simulation counts by finding female ninja with Chunin or higher aptitude and being in contact with them for an hour, the system could also gain them by deepening the relationship with them.
It's just that Ryun felt his past self would probably have found it very difficult to achieve this, as the ninja world still operates on strength.
Moreover, if he got too close to a particular female ninja, he might encounter some trouble when trying to contact more female ninja later. Therefore, Ryun had chosen the strategy of casting a wide net.
However, as Ryun's strength increased and his interactions with Tenten and the others deepened, the new phase of obtaining simulation counts had finally arrived.
Just from this first increase in affection, raising the contact level, the simulation count increased by three.
Did this mean that in the future, if he increased the contact level further, he would gain five, ten, or even more simulation counts?
Looking at it this way, the existence of this path itself wasn't useless. Compared to the wide-net strategy, it was a difference between depth and breadth.
At the same time, Ryun could also determine what "deepening the contact level" meant.
In short, it was contact deeper than holding hands, and required the mutual affection level to be sufficient.
Then, the remaining question... If Ryun now gave Tenten the results of a simulation with Tenten, would Tenten achieve a leap in strength?
But would she agree if he gave it to her, and would this expose Ryun's own special power?
Ryun still needed to consider this.
Most crucially, he currently didn't have any stored simulation results with Tenten in his mental space. If he wanted to gift it to Tenten, he would need to conduct another simulation with Tenten.
However, for Ryun who now had six simulation counts, these were just minor matters.
Instead, how to handle the current situation was what Ryun needed to consider, because Tenten's body temperature was even higher than before, and her breathing had become heavy. What would happen next?
Deeper contact, or would Tenten explode, beating up Ryun and throwing him out of the room?
Thinking of this, Ryun suddenly had a good idea.
He rolled his eyes back and directly pretended to be asleep.
Tenten was indeed close to exploding.
Holding the bare-chested Ryun, feeling the warmth and masculine scent of his body, especially with her ear pressed against his chest listening to his heartbeat, Tenten felt as if she was about to take the step into adulthood today.
Would she become a mother in ten months?
No, absolutely not!
She was still a Genin, and it was too early now. At least ten more years... no, five years later wouldn't be impossible either.
Slowly, the chakra within Tenten's body flowed rapidly due to her mental turmoil. She clenched her fists, planning to escape from Ryun's embrace.
If Ryun dared to keep holding her, she would make him understand what a real ninja was.
But when she pushed herself up with her hands on Ryun's shoulders, she was surprised to discover that Ryun had already fallen into a deep sleep.
So was it all her own wild imagination just now?
Ah... Too embarrassed to face anyone!
Tenten covered her face with her hands, her whole person entering a state of boiling.
Luckily, Ryun couldn't see her now, otherwise she might really do something drastic.
Gradually, as time passed, Tenten calmed down.
She let out a long breath and looked around the environment again.
Although Ryun's house looked pitted and uneven, there were no signs of battle. Ryun wasn't injured either. It seemed he was engaged in some kind of special training?
Also because of this glance, Tenten saw the diamond-shaped mark on Ryun's chest.
What is this...
Curious, Tenten extended her finger and poked it, finding it was a painted pattern without physical substance.
Why hadn't she noticed this before... Ah, no, she hadn't had the chance to discover it before!
Could it be that Ryun actually had some hidden secret on his body, or had awakened some kind of Kekkei Genkai?
Thinking this, Tenten curiously pursed her lips, wanting to pull Ryun up and ask him for details.
But in the end, she gave up.
She took out Ryun's bedding from the head of the bed, helped cover him with it, and then sat herself by the bedside waiting for Ryun to wake up.
Yet slowly, she felt as if Ryun's bed had a fatal attraction. Her sitting posture gradually lowered until finally, her body tilted over and she fell asleep next to Ryun.
Meanwhile, Ryun opened his eyes after a while.
Looking at Tenten, who had already taken all the bedding from him and wrapped herself into a ball, he smiled helplessly.
Fortunately, his current physical constitution was no longer afraid of simple temperature differences between cold and heat, otherwise Tenten would definitely have given him a severe cold.
Seeing Tenten sleeping soundly, Ryun quietly changed his clothes, then jumped out the window into the small courtyard.
Facing the morning sun, Ryun felt the flow of the Yin Seal within his body, and his body slowly warmed up.
Just as he was about to try what it felt like to release the Yin Seal, a familiar chakra caught his attention.
Sasuke flipped onto the top of the wall, glaring angrily at Ryun, and said, "You, did you forget something?"
Ryun looked at the sun and said, "It's not even 8:30 yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I still have to go to the Ninja Academy, you bastard!"
Sasuke became even more furious, saying, "Not everyone can live a lazy life like you!"
"Also, why does a man wear cosmetics? You really disgust me."
