Chapter 47 It's you who will die...
April 5, Konoha Year 36.
East Sea, the Land of Whirlpools, the former site of Whirlpool Village, Namen-do.
Because the little raccoon refused to leave Namen Hall even in its sleep, and kept its eyes on Akashi, not letting him stray too far from it, Akashi stayed in Namen Hall, while Shuimen and Lanwu stayed on the island, each pursuing their own cultivation.
Since Akaishi had nothing better to do, he might as well take a break and do some red...
"Jiraiya-sensei said that this little raccoon is probably recovering and won't keep needing my 'power,' but I don't know exactly how much of 'Great Red Mouth' it needs..."
Thinking this through, Akaishi looked at the masks in the Namen-do and decided to select some shorter plays first, so that he could sell a few more masks!
Once he has enough money, he'll repurchase [Big Red Mouth]—items he's already bought can be purchased again, even at a discounted price, making Akaishi wonder if the discount is actually valid...
To ensure it was a "short" drama, Akaishi reluctantly spent 9.98 to access the on-demand page.
Suddenly, a dazzling list appeared in front of Akaishi...
"I, with 100,000 iron cavalry, was ordered to return to the capital," "My coffin returned to the capital after my death, and my wife remarried that very day," "My memories after death were exposed, and the Empress went mad with regret"...
Some names are enough to send chills down your spine just by looking at them!
Akaishi quickly looked away and sorted by duration, only to find...
The shortest journey will take at least 8 hours!
"Why is it called a short drama? Is it because... demons are all very free?" Akaishi muttered.
At the same time, Akaishi also discovered some patterns—the titles of these short-duration plays are usually very direct, while the titles of long-duration plays don't reveal much about their content, like "A Happy Family"...
"Huh? Why is this so short?" Akaishi said, noticing a strange play.
Its immersion time is also the shortest at 8 hours, but its playback time is also short, only 96 hours!
It's worth noting that other 8-hour immersive experiences involve hundreds of hours of playback time, which is compressed by the perceived time difference in consciousness. This show, however, is actually the shortest!
"Shorter is better, shorter is better..." Akaishi decided, this is it!
Since it was just to activate the "Liuliu" function as soon as possible, Akaishi decided to treat himself better.
[Next up is the on-demand short drama "It Was Your Mother Who Died," with a runtime of 96 hours. Non-members can watch a total of 8 hours...]
Hmm, the title is very direct. Akaishi suspects it might be a story about losing one's mother?
For Akaishi, who was an orphan himself, this didn't seem to bother him.

【reject!】
Hong Yan is the husband of Shen Qingqing, a female doctor from a wealthy family who married into the family.
That day, Shen Qingqing once again used working overtime as an excuse to go on a date with her first love, An Ruhai...
Just as Akaishi was getting into the swing of things and doing housework, he suddenly noticed his wife's work ID on the table.
Akaishi:……
To draw an analogy, it's like a ninja saying they're going on a mission, but they haven't even brought their headband!
Needless to say, the task is definitely a lie.
"Xiaoyan, where did Qingqing go?"
"Ah... Mom, there's an emergency at the hospital. Qingqing went to work."
"Hey, I saw what you just put away... What a mess!"
"Mom, Qingqing was just having fun for a while, it was probably just with her friends..."
"What friend? It's just that guy surnamed An! Really... I shouldn't have let you marry Qingqing..."
"What are you saying? If it weren't for you and my uncle sponsoring my university education, I'd still be in the mountains! And I'd be paying for my mother's medical expenses..."
"When Qingqing comes back, I'll make things clear with her... Don't think that just because her father isn't here, no one can discipline her! If she does anything to disgrace the family again, I'll sever all ties with her!"
"Mom, please don't say things in anger..."
……
This scene pretty much gave Akaishi the information about the main characters.
To repay a debt of gratitude, the protagonist marries into his benefactor's family and lives with his benefactor's daughter. After marriage, his wife frequently gets entangled with her first love and shows no respect for the protagonist.
Ok……
Akaishi, however, remained completely unmoved this time.
It's nothing!
Since it's about repaying a debt of gratitude, what else is there to say?
Besides, it seems his wife's family is a prominent clan, while the protagonist... isn't even a commoner.
There's nothing wrong with "repaying a debt of gratitude," as long as you don't get too emotionally involved. If it really doesn't work out, you can just wait until the old lady dies before getting a divorce... What's wrong with delaying things for a few years to "repay a debt of gratitude"?
From Akashi's perspective, risking his life is only right, and this "repayment of kindness" is even a bit too generous.
Just then, the plot took a turn.
When Shen Qingqing went out to work overtime again without her work ID, her elderly mother called her, but she was once again given a perfunctory answer and hung up.
Just as Hong Yan was comforting her, the old lady suddenly had a sudden attack of her illness...
After she was taken to the hospital, the hospital staff learned that she was Dr. Shen's mother and said that only Dr. Shen could perform the surgery.
Akaishi was initially puzzled, as it seemed that so far, he hadn't experienced any significant drop in his blood pressure.
"Dr. Shen, your mother is sick, please come back to the hospital quickly!"
"What? How could my mother suddenly fall ill?"
"Hurry up, your husband is going crazy with worry..."
"Oh, so they made you say that again?"
Akaashi:? ? ?
"Huh? What did you say? Come to the hospital right now!"
"Alright, Vice President, stop with the nonsense. Tell them to stop wasting their time. I just went out to have dinner with friends, how did it escalate to the hospital!"
Akaashi:? ? ?
"You... Shen Qingqing! As the vice dean, I'm telling you..."
beep-
Akaashi:? ? ?
Alright, alright, the familiar taste is here, let's begin, shall we?
"She even dared to block me..."
"I'll call, Dr. Shen will believe me... Dr. Shen, please come back quickly, your husband is frantic with worry..."
"Why is he in such a hurry? A grown man shouldn't be so petty, okay? He even dared to make up stories about my mother being sick."
"Not made up...feeding?"
beep-
"No, I've been blocked too."
Akaishi:……
The first hour of immersion has ended.
After regaining his composure, Akaishi felt a mix of anger and amusement. Although he hadn't had a physical exam, he knew that his "resurrection" had definitely been dragged down again!
At the same time, this "GG" is a little different...
Experience the thrill of high-speed gameplay! Temple Run invites you to try it out...
This time, Akaishi wasn't rewarded with anything to try out; instead, he appeared directly in a magnificent yet dilapidated building.
"How do I get an immersive reward?" Akashi's heart skipped a beat—what kind of infinite hell is this?
The next moment, a monster suddenly appeared behind Akaishi!
Just as Akaishi was about to form a hand seal, he was prompted...
"Running is the only option? Fine..." Akaishi said, and started running forward.
It's not just about speed, but also about parkour skills such as dodging obstacles.
more importantly……
As Akaishi ran, he realized that his current physical attributes were a complete replica of his real body, except that he could not use ninjutsu. If there was any difference in his physique, it was his endurance—Akaishi's endurance would not decrease now, and he could keep running.
At the same time, the humanoid monster behind Akaishi also maintained a similar physique to Akaishi. Akaishi suspected that this was not a coincidence, but rather that the monster behind him might have been designed according to its own situation.
Akaishi:……
Realizing that this "reward" wasn't entirely useless—at least it could help train his "obstacle reaction running" ability—Akaishi calmed down and began training...
