Chapter 133: A Heartfelt Breakfast and the First Lesson

Early the next morning, Kato Yufeng’s internal biological clock woke him from a rosy, dream-filled slumber.

He blinked his sleepy, fish-like eyes, taking in the familiar wooden beams of his own ceiling. He turned his head to look at the empty expanse of his bed, then cast a fleeting glance at his own spirited, morning-ready self.

Kato Yufeng let out a helpless sigh. "Sigh."

He shouldn't have ordered that "wealthy and prosperous" dish last night; it was far too nourishing. He was still too young, and his body was brimming with too much youthful fire.

That adorable little vixen, Tsunade, was becoming increasingly seductive. A mere taste on the rooftop was nowhere near enough to extinguish the flames, yet she refused to let him go any further—it was infuriating. Sooner or later, he would win her over!

The "Taming the Tigress" project was a long and arduous journey.

Last night, while Tsunade was in high spirits, Kato Yufeng had tried to linger, hoping to continue their "profound philosophical discussion" regarding the strengths and weaknesses of Konoha ninjas. However, before he could even reach the threshold of her bedroom, he was unceremoniously kicked out by that shapeshifting tigress.

He shook his head to clear the lingering haze of sleep, activated his pale blue star-like eyes to focus his spirit, and began his daily morning training.

During his morning routine, he accessed the Ninja System that had been dormant in his soul space for a long time.

Over the past six months, thanks to the existence of his "Slacker Clone," Kato Yufeng had completely let go, rapidly farming attribute points. The various values in his Ninja System had changed significantly.

In terms of attributes, Stamina and Yang had grown from 64 to 69, following the progress of his Life Vitality Constitution, though they had been stuck at this threshold for a while.

Strength and Speed had each increased by one point, reaching 64 and 70 respectively. The former was a result of long-term natural training, while the latter required a final push using attribute points.

Spirit and Yin had grown from 76 to 79 due to his daily diligent practice of the Spirit Nurturing Technique, though the growth rate had slowed. Kato Yufeng had considered dumping attribute points to push them past 80, but he recently realized that after reaching 70, further growth required personal insight and accumulation rather than just points.

His "Special Constitution" now listed a "Slacker Constitution"—it turned out that the "slacker" version of Yufeng was the true original.

The activation progress for the Life Vitality Constitution had reached 275, more than halfway there. However, after the halfway mark, the special energy required for each new increment increased significantly, causing the growth rate to slow down.

His five elemental attributes—Wind, Lightning, Earth, Water, and Fire—had all grown. Wind rose from 69 to 72, Lightning from 43 to 51, Earth from 39 to 40, and Water and Fire both broke their zero-point barrier to reach 10.

He had also added many new Ninjutsu.

Wind Style now included the Wind Killing Array, Wind Ripping, and Gale Palm, enhancing his frontal assault capabilities.

Lightning Style now included Ground Flash, Lightning Strike, Thunder Cloud, and Lightning Hand, primarily for control. Kato Yufeng found that Lightning Style was much cooler and more stylish than Earth Style control techniques. Power is fleeting, but style is forever.

Earth Style had been upgraded from miscellaneous techniques to the authentic Yomi Swamp and Earth Wall; he planned to focus his Earth Style on defense.

The most significant change was the addition of the "Spirit Nurturing Injury" and "Soul Manipulation Puppet Technique" to his secret techniques. Other techniques like Mind Transfer, Mind Destruction, or the Caged Bird Seal were not displayed in the system because Kato Yufeng already possessed superior alternatives.

This was only a portion of his gains; in his actual life, Kato Yufeng had gained even more.

After spending some time organizing his system, he hurried to Tsunade’s house, only to find she was already up.

Perhaps it was because her younger brother Nawaki’s apprenticeship was settled, or perhaps she had discovered that Kato Yufeng was prone to jealousy, but Tsunade was still in the excellent mood she had been in the night before.

Rarely, she didn't let Kato Yufeng help, preparing a breakfast full of love for her brother and boyfriend all by herself.

It was indeed full of "sisterly and girlfriendly love." One look at the conflicted expression on Nawaki’s face next to the table told you exactly how "good" Tsunade’s culinary skills were.

Nawaki was still too green. Look at Kato Yufeng next to him—eating the exact same food, yet savoring it with a look of pure intoxication, as if telling his girlfriend he was eating the most delicious meal on earth.

The Kato family’s secret art of masterful acting was something the young Nawaki still had much to learn from his new master.

The three ate and chatted.

"Mmm, excellent, truly excellent. Your cooking is really great, Tsunade. I think we should leave the breakfast duty to you from now on." Kato Yufeng took a sip of a dark, questionable-looking oatmeal-like porridge, praising his girlfriend’s cooking without a shred of guilt.

Tsunade was touched, though slightly skeptical. "Really? Is it really that good? I only learned a little from my mother when I was very young, and I haven't really touched a kitchen since."

"Tsunade, you have a real talent for cooking; you should practice more. Nawaki, you’re still growing, eat more." Kato Yufeng picked up a slice of orange-colored, questionable-looking fried egg and smilingly placed it in his brother-in-law’s bowl.

Nani? Master Kato is amazing... but he’s also quite wicked.

Nawaki looked at his master speechlessly as the "delicious" fried egg landed in his bowl.

Tsunade, feeling a bit bashful and still lacking confidence, turned her beautiful, expectant eyes toward Nawaki. "Little brother, what do you think? How is the taste?"

Nawaki, sitting beside her, looked at his newly acquired master with worship as he continued to lie through his teeth, then looked at his sister’s hopeful gaze.

Nawaki summoned his courage, swallowed the fried egg in one gulp, and downed the porridge in a single breath. "Yes, sister! It’s delicious! You must make it for Master Kato more often!"

"I’m full! I’m heading out. Sister, Master Kato, you two take your time. If you can't finish, just give it to Master Kato; he has a big appetite."

With that, Nawaki didn't wait for a reaction and vanished from the dining room, fleeing the house.
