50.66% Naruto: An Uchiha With A Superpower Roulette / Chapter 191: Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Chapter 191

"Hanzo's invitation. What do you all think? Should we?"

Yahiko asked the other members of the Akatsuki organization after receiving the invitation. He didn't trust Hanzo's good intentions, especially after Hanzo previously tried to kill them. Therefore, he sought opinions on an alternative solution.

After spending the million ryo supported by Hiruzen, they had to once again take on ninja missions to earn rewards.

But this time, something unexpected happened. After the Akatsuki had been active for a while, the Rain Ninjas found the members of Akatsuki. However, instead of attacking them, they handed over an invitation to the Akatsuki members, asking them to deliver it to their leader, Yahiko.

"Hanzo definitely has bad intentions. Let's ignore him!"

"That's right, the Rain Village isn't that strong. If it comes to a fight, they might not even be a match for us."

The one who spoke first was a standard member of Akatsuki—strong but not very smart. However, he always completed the tasks assigned to him diligently, so he was included in this meeting. Nevertheless, almost no one took his words seriously.

"I heard that the Rain Ninjas have been struggling recently. They seemed to have gained a lot of benefits from the Sand Ninjas in the last war, but given the Rain Village's strength, it's hard for them to hold onto those gains."

"So Hanzo wants to negotiate with us? But he tried to assassinate Yahiko-sama and Konan-sama last time."

"I'm not saying Hanzo is trustworthy, just that this might be possible."

The group discussed various opinions, and Yahiko listened for a while. He felt that everyone had valid points, except for the member who wanted to go to war with the Rain Village.

"Konan, Nagato, what do you think? How about you, Nanhe-kun?" (I kinda forgot the name they put to Fugaku...)

Yahiko initially wanted to ask Konan and Nagato's opinions but remembered that they usually followed his lead. So, he turned to ask Fugaku instead.

"I'll go with the leader's decision."

"Nanhe-kun, go ahead and speak your mind; it's fine."

Fugaku saw Yahiko's expression and thought to himself that this young man had grown. Although he hadn't given up monitoring him, Yahiko hoped he could come up with a good idea since he couldn't find anything suspicious.

However, Fugaku knew this situation was orchestrated by the person claiming to be Madara. Now was the time to assist.

"Hanzo's words can't be trusted. His invitation to you, leader, might be part of some conspiracy. But we lack intelligence and don't know Hanzo's plans."

Fugaku paused, then continued, "If the leader decides not to go, the organization must prepare for a potential attack from the Rain Ninjas. If Hanzo's plan fails, he might tear off his mask.

If the leader decides to go, we must be prepared because he might be targeting your life. If we can avoid this confrontation, Hanzo will gain nothing. The choice is yours, leader."

The consequences of both options were clear, but Fugaku used a rhetorical trap. Not going would make Yahiko seem like he valued his own life over risking the organization, putting other members in danger.

At that point, Akatsuki would be on the verge of disintegration, and lacking external support, they had to be active.

So, Yahiko initially had only one choice.

"I've decided. Accept Hanzo's invitation. I will make all the necessary arrangements."

After listening to Fugaku, Yahiko quickly made his decision, which deeply moved the other members of Akatsuki. Their leader, disregarding his own safety, wanted to prevent them from being threatened by the Rain Ninjas.

"Leader, let me accompany you."

"And me. I will ensure the leader's safety."

Yahiko interrupted them, then said, "Don't worry, everyone. I will be fine with Nagato accompanying me."

Fugaku, hearing this, secretly shook his head. From the beginning, they were mere pawns. No matter how they struggled, it was useless now.

...

Yoichi woke up, thinking about the chaotic dream of studying last night, and shook his head. "Indeed, I can't completely rely on luck. The opportunity to learn from Hong on the first day was too rare."

This ability worked only once a day, and once asleep, the dream started immediately. Even if he slept for just one minute, the opportunity was used, and he could study in the dream for three days.

In those three days, he didn't learn anything useful. The first day, he learned to make parts from a short-tempered seventh-level lathe worker named Liu, and they ended up fighting in the dream.

The second day was a bit more fruitful. He became an assistant to Killian, the founder of AIM in the Marvel world. However, this was when AIM was newly established.

Although Yoichi learned the theoretical knowledge of the Extremis Virus from Killian, converting it into a mature virus required a lot of research time.

Killian took nearly ten years to develop an imperfect Extremis Virus.

The third day, Yoichi felt like he went to the world of "Fights Break Sphere," but it seemed different from what he remembered. He became a disciple of a sect and encountered Xiao Yixian at an auction, learning a useless Dou Technique, Tianyu Finger.

Yesterday's dream was indeed indescribable. Yoichi, inherently kind-hearted, was ill-suited for the Yin Sect, but his dream identity was a disciple of that sect.

Moreover, the Tianyu Finger Dou Technique was garbage, and he planned to seal and destroy it.

(I hate when authors add wuxia sh*t in fanfics...)

"The Extremis Virus... once developed, it could unify the ninja world under the Fire Nation. But Minato is pregnant. Should I hand it over to Orochimaru?"

Yoichi was conflicted. He wasn't a research-oriented person, and in Konoha, only a few could research human bodies. Maybe not even three. Only Orochimaru and Minato were suitable.

But Minato was unsuitable for the next one or two years due to pregnancy. So, should he give it to Orochimaru?

However, Orochimaru was so busy recently that even four or five shadow clones couldn't keep up. He neglected his student, Anko, and sometimes forgot to eat, only having a few boiled eggs.

Orochimaru had to research the Five Heart to Heaven Technique, Hero Water, and some secret techniques from Yoichi. Yoichi felt that giving the Extremis Virus to Orochimaru wouldn't yield quick results.

Recently, Yoichi sensed Orochimaru's reluctance when he visited him, even though they used to be friends.

"I need to start my plan to bring Tsunade back."

Yoichi thought that if Tsunade could return, it would significantly boost the research progress.

"It's about the agreement with Tsunade."

After thinking for a while, Yoichi decided to visit Tsunade in a while. There must be other ways. Maybe persuading her to return would work.

Fulfilling the agreement was the simplest and most direct method. Since it was a strategy guide, there must be other ways. After all, Tsunade's affection for him was still high, around eighty.

Today's tasks were the same as the past few days: a wood clone instructing Nohara Rin and assisting the Hokage, and the main body focusing on researching heat abilities and improving medicine.

The remaining wood clones absorbed cosmic energy and refined gene primordials, while another clone practiced the Five Heart to Heaven Technique.

The bodies of the Mist Ninjas from the front lines had also been sent back. After interrogation, the truth about the Mist Village's plot was finally revealed.

They had sealed the Three-Tails inside Nohara Rin and intended to send her and Kakashi back to Konoha, planning to release the Three-Tails to destroy Konoha.

Nohara Rin had deliberately impaled herself on Kakashi's short sword to thwart their plan.

When Kakashi heard this analysis, although he was saddened, it resolved some of his guilt. He had always thought he had accidentally killed Nohara Rin, but the interrogation team had finally told him the truth.

After being discharged from the hospital, Kakashi visited Yoichi. He had been reflecting on his situation for the past few days and realized he was stuck in a rut because of his fixation on Obito's eye, which hindered his progress.

Late at night, Kakashi often recalled the events. If it had been his father or Yoichi-senpai, they would have protected Rin and killed all the pursuing enemies.

Ultimately, Kakashi felt he was too weak.

So, Kakashi came to the Uchiha compound to seek Yoichi's help in solving the drawbacks of the Sharingan.

When he arrived, many clan members noticed Kakashi, but no one showed hostility, even though he, an outsider, was using their clan's Sharingan.

This was because Kakashi was a friend of their clan leader. Otherwise, even if he were the Hokage's son, he wouldn't be welcomed.

"Yoichi-senpai, sorry to disturb you."

"This is my clone. Wait a moment."

Yoichi dispelled the clone and returned a minute later.

After welcoming Kakashi into his house and serving tea, he asked, "Kakashi, have you thought about what I mentioned last time?"

Kakashi nodded, "Yes, Yoichi-senpai. I want to become stronger. Only with strength can I better protect my teammates."

"Good. It's good that you've figured it out. You've participated in the Ninja World War; you shouldn't be stuck in the past. Now that you know the truth, it's time to move forward."

Yoichi then discussed the main issue, "Leave some of your blood here. I will cultivate a fusion of your cells and the First Hokage's cells. It will take a few days to complete, after which I can transplant the cells into you."

"Once the transplant is successful, your chakra will increase, and the Sharingan will no longer be a burden. Although you still can't control the activation, it will be much better than now. You can also train in Wood Release, but your strength depends on your own choices. Both kenjutsu and Wood Release are just tools; the ninja's individual strength matters most."

"I understand, Yoichi-senpai."

Kakashi expressed his gratitude. In Konoha, besides his father, Yoichi had been the most helpful to him, even more than his teacher, Minato.

After leaving some of his cells, Kakashi chatted with Yoichi for a while before leaving.

During the conversation, Yoichi carefully examined the Sharingan in Kakashi's left eye, confirming it had evolved into a Mangekyō Sharingan before letting him go. Before Kakashi left, Yoichi told him to seek his advice if he had any questions about the Sharingan.

The Sharingan contained a strong ocular power that Kakashi couldn't fully utilize.

If the Sharingan were merely known for copying techniques, it would tarnish its reputation.

True Sharingan users were feared in one-on-one battles. If you encountered an Uchiha, turning and fleeing was the best option.

Since you couldn't look directly at their eyes, you couldn't properly fight them. A glance at their eyes could trap you in a genjutsu.

Ocular genjutsu didn't even require hand signs and couldn't be broken by the target alone.

Not being able to look at your opponent made the battle unwinnable, so escaping was the best option.

After acquiring Kakashi's cells, Yoichi went to the basement to perform a cell fusion. Although Minato wasn't around, he knew the detailed steps of the experiment.

He just had to follow them, ensuring the balance so that the Hashirama cells wouldn't devour Kakashi's cells.

"Almost done. I need to leave a clone to monitor this. It's been quite a struggle to obtain the Kamui Mangekyō."

His good relationship with the Hatake father and son helped. If it were just an ordinary relationship, he would have reclaimed the Sharingan directly.

After completing the cell fusion in the basement, Yoichi left a clone to monitor the experiment, which required long-term observation. If chakra ran out, they would need to take turns.

Back then, Minato's hard work had earned her many favors from Mikoto, as she had helped her successfully integrate Hashirama's cells.

"Is it you? Why are you back so early today?"

Seeing Yoichi coming up from the basement, Yugito's delicate, fair face gave a light snort. But as she turned her head in a tsundere manner, an unnoticeable smile appeared on her face.

"Of course, I came back to see you. How's your mission going?"

Yugito immediately retorted, "Nonsense! You were busy in the basement. Don't try to fool me!"

"Let's not talk about that. Yugito, I'm so tired today. So, please."

"You, you pervert! You always say you're tired!"

A trace of blush appeared on Yugito's fair face. Seeing Yoichi walking towards the sofa like a rascal, she angrily went to her room to change her socks.

After a while, Yugito, wearing smooth, white knee-high socks and stepping into slippers, walked towards the usual sofa.

However, when she sat down, her delicate, fair face turned pink, and she stammered angrily, "W-why are you lying down? Turn around!"

"My chest feels a bit sore today. Please, Yugito!"

====

The smoothness of white stockings combined with the softness of a young girl's feet was a perfect match.

'Stepping on someone's chest and abs isn't really a massage, is it?'

The girl thought angrily and embarrassed, but Yoichi's words of agreement and broken promises eventually led her to step down in anger and embarrassment.

The soft, white-stockinged feet pressed repeatedly on the hard muscles, making the distracted girl think of many things: The hand seals for the Fireball Jutsu... The next Fire Release jutsu she needed to learn... The shorter time she spent listening last night compared to before...

Ninja maturity came early. In the Warring States period, ninja children went to battle at the age of four, and by the time of the ninja villages, they became ninja at ten. When they became ninja, they were no longer treated as children.

"Hmph!"

Jumping off the sofa, Yugito snorted coldly, her neck and ears turning red, and she walked straight back to her room, her white-stockinged feet tapping on the floor, forgetting even the slippers beside the sofa.

"Zoning out while stepping on my back can't be blamed on me, right?"

Yoichi stood up and said, feeling he might have gone too far today. Yugito probably wouldn't talk to him for at least a week.

Back in her room, Yugito locked the door behind her. She then dove headfirst into the soft pillow, wanting to bury herself so deeply that no one could see her.

After a while, she raised her delicate, flushed face, having heard the sound of the door opening. It must be that pervert who left.

"Hmph!"

With the house to herself, Yugito was no longer like a timid squirrel. But sitting on the bed, her face turned red again as she remembered stepping on... that part.

She sat cross-legged, picking up her delicate foot, recalling the sensation under her foot.

The girl then felt puzzled and muttered to herself while searching for a book hidden under her bed, "Did I misunderstand? It shouldn't be that big..."

She wanted to check "information" for comparison, worried she might be too sensitive.

...

"Orochimaru, I've heard you haven't been outside lately. You should get some sunlight occasionally. By the way, which one of these is the real you?"

One of the shadow clones said, "None of these. The real one is receiving the test subjects."

"Oh, right, today is the day for delivering test subjects."

Yoichi suddenly remembered and waited in the lab.

In the three labs, about ten shadow clones were busy, which was Orochimaru's limit. According to him, after releasing the clones, it took an hour to sort through the vast amount of experimental memories to avoid errors.

When Orochimaru returned and saw Yoichi, he no longer felt the previous anticipation.

Perhaps he had anticipated too much, and recently he had been so tired that he no longer looked forward to it.

Orochimaru thought for a moment, realizing the change in his mindset. Having many treasures was good, but too many required a lot of time to decipher, which was bad.

Seeing Yoichi walking toward him, Orochimaru silently repeated what Yoichi often said: 'Orochimaru, I've brought you a surprise this time.'

"Orochimaru-senpai, long time no see. I've brought you a surprise."

Yoichi smiled as he approached Orochimaru, but seeing his calm face, he asked, "Orochimaru-senpai, what's wrong?"

"Too many surprises, Yoichi-kun. Let's talk after I finish my current work."

Orochimaru sighed. He loved uncovering unknown ninjutsu and truths, but getting something new every now and then became overwhelming.

Even Sarutobi-sensei didn't use him like this.

"The test subjects are also consumed quickly. The Guard Unit said that there are fewer death row inmates in the Fire Nation recently. Instead of monthly deliveries, they'll now deliver every three months. Otherwise, they'd have to buy them from other countries."

Orochimaru paused, then continued, "But each project needs test subjects. I've already requested more medical ninja from the Fourth Hokage to reuse some test subjects, but none have come yet."

Human experiments were not exactly a secret among Konoha's higher-ups, and Sakumo knew too. With the Second Hokage as a precedent, Orochimaru using death row inmates was no big deal.

However, requesting medical ninja assistants depended on two factors: skilled medical ninjutsu and acceptance of human experiments.

Konoha had some ninja with good medical skills, but few could accept human experiments.

Mina was one, and if Yoichi asked her, she would do it. But she wouldn't be suitable for human experiments for the next one or two years, so she was out of the question.

There was almost no one left; the most suitable, Kabuto, was still in the Ninja Academy.

"Not a single one?"

"Unfortunately, none. And the Fourth Hokage wants me to take on some missions instead of staying in the lab all the time."

Orochimaru said this while staring straight at Yoichi, who was suddenly attracted to a water stain on the floor.

As the Hokage's assistant, Yoichi was well aware of the current mission situation in the village. There were many low-level tasks and quite a few high-level ones needing ninja.

But having just come out of a war, Konoha's ninja had suffered many casualties, causing a backlog of mission requests. For nearby ones, Yoichi had sent shadow clones to handle them.

He himself was slacking off, so it wouldn't be right to ask Sakumo to assign Orochimaru tasks.

"If this doesn't work, the research will be delayed. But you mentioned the gene primordial; I think it's suitable for Tsunade. I remember discussing a similar technique with her on the battlefield, but she hadn't developed it yet."

Orochimaru's words reminded Yoichi of something. If he wasn't mistaken, Tsunade was referring to the Yin Seal. Had she already had the idea?

"Is that so? But you misunderstood me, Orochimaru-senpai. This time, I wanted to invite you for a meal, but if you're so busy..."

"Let me see it."

"Alright, this is a research project I stumbled upon called the Extremis Virus."

Hearing Yoichi's words, Orochimaru was skeptical. He believed the Hero Water came from Taki Village, but the gene primordial seemed unrelated to ninja.

Now there was the Extremis Virus, starting with brain mutation. Although interested in its effects, Orochimaru knew researching it would be challenging as it involved the body's most intimate parts.

Orochimaru understood his strengths and weaknesses. While proficient in ninjutsu research, Yoichi's increasingly complex studies on human mysteries were taxing.

"Give this to Tsunade. Or your wife, but she's not as suitable as Tsunade. Do you have a backup? I'll keep this one."

Mina's medical ninjutsu was comparable to Tsunade's due to her special chakra. But in human research, Tsunade excelled.

Orochimaru initially wanted to return the Extremis Virus data but decided to keep it for future study.

"Keep it. I'll think of another way. Oh, and be frugal with the death row inmates. I'll try to have the merchants buy them from other countries."

Yoichi waved at Orochimaru and left.

He didn't achieve his goal and lost his original data on the Extremis Virus.

But he knew some of what Orochimaru mentioned. Konoha indeed lacked personnel due to taking missions from Kusagakure and Takigakure. Many long-term missions were now Konoha's responsibility.

If Kakashi wasn't waiting for Hashirama cell fusion, he'd be on a mission.

Even Yugito, a Jinchuriki, frequently left the village, though her team hadn't taken long-distance missions yet.

Yoichi decided that after Mina gave birth, he'd focus on winning Tsunade over.

...

"Foolish, thinking some preparations would make everything foolproof."

Hanzo looked down at Yahiko and Nagato, then threw a kunai at the kneeling Konan.

The kunai grazed Konan's neck, cutting a strand of her blue hair.

"Reveal yourselves. I know you're not really here. If you don't come out, I'll kill this woman."

"Damn it, kidnapping Konan."

Yahiko was furious, wanting to kill Hanzo instantly.

But with Konan in Hanzo's hands, he had to compromise.

Poof! Poof! The two shadow clones were dispelled, and soon, two figures hurried from a distance.

Watching from afar, Danzo felt bored. If not for Hanzo promising to cut off all communication in the Land of Bears, he wouldn't have played along.

A bit of trickery could easily handle these people.

As for the sudden intelligence, Danzo suspected internal strife within Akatsuki, with someone wanting them dead, hence leaking the hidden information.

Let's end this quickly. After dealing with these people, he could focus on developing Root in the Land of Bears.

Hatake Sakumo, the Fourth Hokage, had destroyed his previous efforts. Without his trained subordinates, rebuilding Root would take a long time.

"Is that... the Rinnegan?"

Danzo noticed the red-haired Akatsuki ninja's eyes, identical to the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan.

"Aaaah!!"

"Summoning Jutsu: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

From a distance, Obito watched silently. With Yahiko, the vigilant leader of Akatsuki, dead, Nagato was caught in a vortex of hatred, and Konan, being indecisive, posed no threat. With Fugaku still hidden within Akatsuki, Obito could now slowly persuade Nagato to accept their plan.

White Zetsu and Black Zetsu emerged from the ground and asked, "Should we persuade Nagato now, Obito?"

"No, he's in extreme grief and hatred now. If we approach him, he might suspect something."

Obito turned to leave, feeling increasingly uneasy. His words had felt like he was describing himself.

"Nagato is deeply confused now. He will come to me on his own. Just inform me in advance."

"Where are you going?"

"To gather intelligence!"

With that, Obito used Kamui to disappear.

After he left, White Zetsu remained silent for a moment before saying, "It's becoming increasingly difficult to monitor Obito now that he has Kamui. He won't discover what happened back then, will he?"

"He shouldn't. But suspicion is inevitable. Once he sees the Three-Tails, those suspicions should be dispelled."

Black Zetsu replied slowly, "Besides, he has no other choice but to believe in the Eye of the Moon Plan now. To create the world he desires, this is the only way."

"You're right. Let's go monitor Nagato. He will likely seek out Obito soon. Even if not for the Eye of the Moon Plan, he'll want to harness the power of the Rinnegan to avenge his friends."
