Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 4 You Regret! I'll Be Your Shadow!

Most importantly, Hiruzen Sarutobi needs a chaotic Uchiha clan at this stage.

Instead of a fully united Uchiha!

Even a one percent chance of unity is not acceptable!

Therefore, we must never lay a hand on Yuuki.

No, it is absolutely forbidden to lay a hand on any child!

"Hiruzen, the Uchiha clan is an unstable element. That's how the Second Hokage taught us! Your imagined understanding will never come true!"

"Enough, Danzo! The one who bears the responsibility for the development of Konoha is me, not you!"

The people of Konoha need to live and eat, not start internal strife!

The ninjas should protect the village and carry out missions, not distrust each other!

You are a root buried deep beneath the leaves; do what you are meant to do!

Standing outside the Hokage's desk, Danzo felt a pitiful, thick barrier separating him from his old friend.

"you...."

Danzo gritted his teeth and squeezed out each word clearly: "Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes slightly and stood up solemnly from his Hokage seat. The expansion of the Root was too rapid.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

boom!

He slammed the door and left, ending the meeting on bad terms.

......

I bought a batch of stinging ants on the way.

Holding a petri dish, Yuuki had just returned to the clinic.

After a while.

Uchiha Yuuki arrived at his loyal Green Grassland.

At the very center of the grassland, where the roots of an oak tree meet its trunk, a green caterpillar is struggling to pupate.

Almost there!

I was so close to eating delicious grass! Oh my!

Just then, a giant hand descended from the sky, wielding justice and grabbing the caterpillar.

"Please, I hope I don't draw one of your kind."

Yuuki smiled with exceptional innocence, taking one step at a time to send the green caterpillar back to the platform.

"Ugh!!"

Do not!

The background of the caterpillar seems to have turned grayish-white.

Yuuki stroked the green caterpillar; the caterpillar he obtained from the gacha should be placed in the grassland below.

Given the size of this grassland, it probably can't support too many insects.

However, the system should have a way to expand the island's area.

Currently, it can still accommodate quite a few insects.

Since that's the case, let's try the gashapon machine first!

Yuuki brought in all one million ryo!

As a researcher for the Uchiha clan, it's reasonable for him to embezzle funds, right?

Besides, is research work considered misappropriation?

He calls this obtaining more samples of insect-type spirit beasts!

Absolutely reasonable!

One million in funds, all in!

"Ten pulls bring miracles, a single pull ruins your life."

Yushu decisively turned the button.

Eleven gashapon capsules rolled out of the exit one by one.

They stood in a row in front of Yushu.

Yuuki decisively opened all the gashapon capsules, and unsurprisingly, he got eleven more Sky Gods (childhood versions).

He wasn't very disappointed.

The new Caterpie provides a significant boost after being contracted.

Yuuki carried the contracted Caterpie down from the oak platform, taking the other Caterpie with him.

He walked in one direction until he finally stopped at the northern edge of the grassland.

The boundary between the mist and the grassland is not entirely covered with wild grass, but also contains a few withered tree roots and shrubs.

Where the fog blankets, there may be a thicket or a forest.

After Yushu stopped, eleven green caterpillars pupated in a neat row in front of him. They were about the same size, but upon closer inspection, there were slight differences.

The first contracted green caterpillar was developing exceptionally well. It lay at Yushu's feet, mouth down, pupating while tears streamed down its face.

Wow, this is so delicious!

"Ooh!"

The other eleven green caterpillars were very energetic, greeting each other in unison, and one could vaguely hear their admiration for Yuuki.

"I hope you grow up strong and contribute to my future."

Yuuki clearly sensed the joy of the caterpillars and the subtle connection between them.

He calmly picked up a green caterpillar and began today's contract.

This was the only way he could alleviate his bloodstain disease.

It not only provides feedback on improved physical fitness, but also helps the caterpillar relieve mental stress.

During the contract process, chakra and mental power work together, which is of great reference value for the birth of stinging ants.

We won! We're so excited!

Breeding antidote ants is part of his money-making plan.

The plan was deemed feasible partly due to the changes in the green caterpillars.

After twisting out the first green caterpillar, Yuuki noticed that as it crawled out, chakra began to gather inside his body!

That is, they are adapting to the traditional training method of the ninja world—chakra!

At the same time, the move energy that originally belonged to the Pokémon did not disappear!

This means that the green caterpillar has the potential to learn two systems simultaneously.

This also created conditions for ordinary insects to generate chakra.

On the other hand, summoned beasts are rare items that are not available on the market. Even the methods of raising them are extremely precious and are a reflection of a family's wealth. Even if you manage to raise enough money to raise a summoned beast, the success rate is not 100%.

The Aburame family, which has been passed down from the Warring States period, has only two chakra insects on the surface: parasitic worms and parasitic worms!

It is evident how difficult it is to train a qualified summoning beast!

But this only applies to ordinary families; it's not the case for Yuuki, who relies on himself (with external advantages).

Unlike the rough and crude use of mental power by ninjas in the ninja world, he possesses a meticulous mental power, which greatly increases his margin for error.

He also has a ready-made example of a green caterpillar.

It makes perfect sense to cultivate a colony of detoxifying ants!

One after another.

Soon, Yuuki successfully contracted eleven green caterpillars and silently sensed them all.

"It probably took up about one percent of the mental energy."

It may not sound like much, but Yuuki was actually quite satisfied.

This amount of responsibility is considerable.

If he contracts another thousand caterpillars, his bloodstain disease will no longer be a problem.

The premise is that mental strength no longer increases excessively.

At the same time, Yuuki focused his attention, and the prompt appeared before his eyes again.

[Contract successful!]

[Race: Caterpie]

[Talent: Skin Hardening, Increased Defense When Wounded]

Quantity: 12

"Oh? You've gained another talent?"

"Every time Caterpie gets injured, it evolves into Metapod faster, and its defense is permanently increased."

"However, the new talent didn't benefit me. Is it only the first talent of the clan that benefits me?"

As for the new talent—

Getting beaten up makes you stronger?

A thoughtful look flashed in Yuuki's eyes.

Hey? I have a great idea!

Yuuki mentally outlined a comprehensive training plan.

"Huh?"

What an awful feeling!

The green caterpillars, which had formed a row of pupae and were munching on grass, shivered and trembled.

Putting aside his immoral thoughts, Yuuki looked up at the gashapon machine on the high platform.

"The insects produced by white gashapon capsules have limited combat power."

"Based on the experience of some pay-to-win games, unlocking higher-level gacha pulls may be related to the number of white gacha pulls you can exchange for."

"The most urgent task is to exchange for more white gashapon. Train the stinging ants and try to meet the system's hidden conditions."

"Ultimately, the only remaining issue is making money."

Having made up his mind, Yuuki left the Green Green Grassland and returned to his bedroom.

"Try to summon the green caterpillar from the Green Green Grassland."

Yuuki clasped his hands together, his mental energy linking to the green caterpillar, and dark psychic runes spread from his hands into the ground.

Chakra Infusion!

Before Yushu, the smoke flickered and disappeared, and a green caterpillar emerged from the spot, struggling to pupate to Yushu's feet.

It features a rather human-like feature: scanning left and right for alertness.

Yuuki looked at the suddenly appearing green caterpillar and immediately used his mental power to activate it.

This time, the caterpillar returned quickly without warning.

I tried to communicate with the spirit a few more times, and the caterpillar returned on its own. It returned very smoothly, but the initial movement was a bit too long.

"Quickly summon and return, a very good tactic for a sneak attack."

"However, it's not very useful for Caterpie. It can still be used to transmit information."

Yuuki sat back down at his desk and took out a blank scroll.

Recording speculations about the development plan for the stinging ants.

experiment!

Following the rhythm of observing the green caterpillar's chakra production, I infused my own chakra and spiritual power into different culture dishes.

They were busy for two and a half hours straight.

I finally wrote down my thoughts and guesses.

This scroll might just be able to swindle some more funding.

Tomorrow, the Ninja Academy will start.

After a short rest, Yuuki immediately began studying the prompt before him, which was the Zerg Scourge system.

The prompt appeared before my eyes, seemingly within reach.

He tried clicking the prompt, and after a few taps, the system's personal panel actually popped up.

[Zerg Cataclysm System]

Name: Uchiha Yuuki

Age: 9

Chakra Level: 0.1 calories

[Attributes: Fire, Lightning, Yin, Yang]

[Skills: Three Body Technique, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Kunai Throwing Technique]

【Characteristics: Hardening, Vigorous Spirit】

[Bloodline: Sharingan (Uchiha)]

【Features: Green Grassland Space, Gashapon Machine】

[Swarm: Green Caterpillars (12/100), Detoxifying Ants (0/1000)]

Obvious.

Starting with the introduction to the system, it is important to cultivate insects.

According to Yuuki's observation, more system functions are unlocked related to the colony, and even stinging ants that have not been successfully cultivated are recorded on the personal panel.

However, the system's acceptance of the anti-venomous stinging ant indicates that the experiment was successful.

Yuki understood again.

Making money from gashapon toys and working hard on insects with technology are two paths that can be followed!

The only downside is that I still don't know how to activate the next type of gacha.

It seems we need to dig deeper for more information.

Thinking this, Yuuki tried to use his mental power to click and touch it with his palm.

It did reveal a detailed introduction to characteristics and bloodlines: Hardening comes from the feedback of the green caterpillars, the Sharingan is an innate talent of the Uchiha bloodline, and Vigorous Spirit represents a state of excessive growth in mental power.

That seemed to be all the information he had; no further prompts appeared before his eyes.

'Let's try triggering it again once we have a hundred caterpillars.'

Yuuki has a peaceful mindset; there's no need to worry about the system that can't be changed right now.

With his mental energy shared, he felt more relaxed than ever before, even though he had already stepped one foot into the path of death.

If I'm reborn, every extra day I live is a bonus!

Indulge yourself to the fullest and be as unrestrained as possible!

Thinking this, Yuuki smiled as he took a book from the bookshelf, reclined in his chair, and read quietly, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation after nine years.

Suddenly, an ANBU member appeared by the window in a flash.

"Hokage Order! Uchiha Yuuki, a student at the Ninja Academy! Assemble at Konoha Hospital immediately!"

Hokage's transfer order?

What could possibly cause the strongest Hokage to mobilize an ordinary Uchiha doctor like me?

"Uchiha Yuuki received, I'm setting off immediately!"

When Yuuki went out, he heard pedestrians frantically passing on messages on the street, and suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's how it is! Something really big has happened!
