Chapter 95: Late Night Sign-In
After speaking with Terumi Mei, Naruto left the Mizukage's office and found a place to rest.
He knew that when Terumi Mei was ready, she would come find him. What he needed to do next was quickly adjust his condition and prepare for the next mission.
After all, he would be facing not just the Three-Tails, but also the Akatsuki and even people from Konoha.
So after Naruto found a hotel to rest in, he lay on the bed and thought carefully about what else he could improve.
After much thought, he still felt that what he lacked most right now was Byakuya Kuchiki's template experience. Although the template was now unlocked to 98.6%, Naruto knew the most important part was the remaining 1.4%. Only after fully unlocking Byakuya Kuchiki's template could he truly show his full strength. Senbonzakura's power would also become stronger.
However, even though only 1.4% remained, the experience needed for that was massive. It simply wasn't something that could be done in a short time. Because the further the template progressed, the more experience was needed to unlock each step.
Just as Naruto was thinking hard, suddenly the system's voice sounded in his mind:
"Ding... A random sign-in location has been refreshed."
Hearing this, Naruto was stunned for a moment, and joy burst out instantly. After many days, a random sign-in location had finally been refreshed.
Just as Naruto was celebrating, what the system said next almost made him unable to react.
"Ding... The next sign-in location: Terumi Mei's bedroom."
After hearing this, Naruto was stunned. A strange expression appeared on his face.
What was this? The sign-in location had refreshed to Terumi Mei's bedroom. Last time in Konoha, it had refreshed to Hinata's bedroom. Now it was Terumi Mei's bedroom. Naruto didn't even know what to say.
Either way, he had to sign in. Random sign-in rewards were very generous and had helped him enormously. And the sooner he signed in, the sooner the next random location would refresh. So Naruto decided to leave right away.
Naruto exhaled and glanced at the night sky. He felt even more helpless. The moon was shining brightly, and it was already late at night. He didn't know if Terumi Mei was asleep or not. If he happened to run into her, things would be even more awkward.
But even so, Naruto made up his mind.
After walking out of the hotel, Naruto went straight to Terumi Mei's house. Her house wasn't hidden. After all, it was her usual residence, and since she was in her own village, there was no need to hide anything. So Naruto arrived at his destination quickly.
When he got to Terumi Mei's house, the lights in her room were already off and dark. But as soon as Naruto reached the door, he could see a faint figure lying inside.
Seeing this, Naruto was slightly surprised. After hiding his aura with Kidō, he walked in quietly.
Once inside, he took a look. Sure enough, the lying figure was Terumi Mei.
Terumi Mei was breathing evenly. Her beautiful face was very fair and looked charming. The thin blanket did nothing to hide her stunning figure. On the hanger next to her were her clothes. Seeing the black silk on the hanger, Naruto took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress the small fire in his heart.
Then Naruto closed his eyes and said silently:
"System, start signing in."
Soon, the system's voice sounded in his mind:
"Ding... Ready to sign in at a random location."
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at the system refresh location."
"Reward: Byakuya Kuchiki Template EXP 1.4%!"
"Reward: Hollow!"
As the voice faded, Naruto was instantly overjoyed.
He had just been worrying about how to unlock the remaining template experience, and this sign-in had given him such a big gift. Adding this 1.4%, Byakuya Kuchiki's template was now fully unlocked at 100%. He had finally fully unlocked Byakuya Kuchiki's template.
And it didn't stop there. He also got Hollow.
Hollow was an ability from the Shinigami world. It allowed him to gain Hollow power on top of his Shinigami power, bringing his strength to a whole new level. Speed, attack power, and evasion would all be greatly enhanced. This was definitely a powerful ability. With the boost from Hollow, Naruto could explode with several times his normal strength in a short period.
Just as Naruto was getting lost in his generous sign-in rewards, suddenly a voice called out:
"Who!"
Terumi Mei had already put on her clothes at some point and was looking around vigilantly.
Seeing this, Naruto said helplessly:
"It's me."
Hearing Naruto's voice, Terumi Mei was stunned for a moment before she saw his figure clearly. Seeing Naruto appearing in front of her, surprise flashed in her eyes. She exhaled, gave him a playful glare, and said:
"How could it be you? I thought there was an enemy attacking."
"What are you doing at my house in the middle of the night?"
Naruto smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer. He couldn't tell Terumi Mei he was there to sign in.
Before Naruto could say anything, Terumi Mei gave him a deep look. Her beautiful eyes sparkled playfully as she teased:
"Why, do you want it? You didn't want it during the day, but you sneak here by yourself at night? So you like this style, huh?"
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what she meant. His face flushed slightly. He coughed and quickly said:
"Cough, no. I'm just here to do something."
"Do something?"
"Are you done?" Terumi Mei looked at him playfully with great interest.
Seeing her eyes, Naruto blushed even more. He nodded quickly and said:
"Yes, I'm done. Cough, I still have things to do. I'm leaving now. You can go back to rest."
After speaking, before Terumi Mei could react, Naruto flickered and disappeared instantly.
After watching him leave, Terumi Mei was stunned for a moment. She quickly recovered, blinking her eyes in confusion. Even now, she had no idea what Naruto had come there for. After checking that nothing was missing from the house and finding no traces, she didn't think too much about it. She shook her head and tried to go back to sleep.
After leaving, Naruto returned directly to his hotel.
Once back in his room, Naruto exhaled. He hadn't expected Terumi Mei to be so alert. She had sensed his presence so quickly. It seemed he had still underestimated her.
But luckily, the sign-in rewards this time were rich. The trip hadn't been a waste. Just fully unlocking Byakuya Kuchiki's template alone was enough to take him up a level, not to mention the powerful ace in the hole that was Hollow.
Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
After organizing the information in his mind, Naruto got ready to rest.
