Bab 102: **Chapter 102: The Center of the Storm**
**System Alert:**
- [Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the refined kunai]
- [Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 1000g of Chakra Metal]
- [Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the special Sage land map fragment]
After opening all 14 surprise gift packs, the last item made Reiki's eyes light up: a second fragment of the Sage fairy land map. The system indicated it as 2/10, hinting that eight more fragments would reveal this mysterious land.
Despite his improved chakra capacity and stamina, Reiki was still keenly aware of the limitations on his chakra reserves. Having a large chakra pool was essential for his ambitions, but without a shortcut like Hashirama cells or a tailed beast, he knew chakra refinement was his best bet.

In the following days, Reiki completed treatments for the long list of injured Konoha ninjas who had been waiting for his help. Word of his abilities was spreading quickly through the village, and his dedication was earning him respect.

**Meanwhile, in the Uchiha Clan**
"Are you telling me that boy wants to meet with me?" Uchiha Kagami asked, his gaze resting thoughtfully on Morishita. His student was typically reserved and pragmatic, so this request surprised him.
"Yes, Teacher. I believe his intentions are genuine," Morishita replied. "I've observed him over time, and he's dedicated to medical ninjutsu. This request seems to be about solving some kind of medical issue, maybe something unique to our clan."
Uchiha Kagami nodded, considering. "Very well. Let him come to me. It's best I don't go to him first—the others may read into it."
Morishita, visibly relieved, nodded with a small smile, "I understand, Teacher. I'll let him know."
After Morishita left, Uchiha Kagami turned to address another presence in the room.
"Elder Kagami," Uchiha Tani stepped out of the shadows, having overheard the conversation.
"What are your thoughts?" Kagami inquired. "The boy is from the Senju line, after all."
Tani's face tightened. "While I understand the tactical advantage, I can't overlook that his clan's legacy led to the suppression of ours. How do we know he doesn't have hidden motives?"
"You think I haven't considered that?" Kagami replied, though his tone remained calm. "But it's a child we're dealing with, Tani. Let me judge his intentions myself."
After a moment of silence, Tani conceded. "As you say, Elder Kagami. I'll defer to your judgment."
As Tani left, Kagami couldn't help but feel a pang of concern. Tani's ambitions for the Uchiha clan had often been cloaked in resentment, a sentiment Kagami feared could cloud his judgment. But now, the clan's position was gaining strength, and he hoped his wisdom could temper their rising power.

**Elsewhere, outside the Village**
A dark figure, indistinguishable in the shadows, muttered to himself. "Interesting… a Senju-trained civilian with hidden abilities." His voice was thick with intrigue.
"Go and establish contact," he said to a smaller, shadowy figure by his side. "If he's promising, we may find a way to use him."
"Yes, my lord." The figure dipped into the ground, fading into the earth as it traveled towards Konoha.
Left alone, the figure continued to muse. "Could such a child create instability in Konoha?" He laughed softly. "Perhaps. And if we can draw out the Nine Tails, there will be opportunities aplenty."
The faintest light caught his profile, revealing the unnervingly dark face of none other than Black Zetsu. With his plans set, he too disappeared into the night, slipping unseen toward the village.

**In Konoha**
Reiki remained unaware of the plans revolving around him, focused solely on refining his chakra within the quiet of his room. But around him, the center of a gathering storm was slowly beginning to turn, with forces moving ever closer toward Konoha.
