Chapter 81: Two Intriguing New Abilities!
Using the rumor of the Sage of Six Paths' ultimate treasure, Uchiha Yi set his master plan into motion, luring almost the entire ninja world to Konoha.
The elaborate scheme had been carefully planned for months, and the results were undeniable.
Though there was one regret: Konoha was only so big. Even with so many drawn to the village, it couldn't accommodate everyone.
Orochimaru, foreseeing what might happen, had cooperated with Tsunade to evacuate a portion of Konoha's people in advance.
Furthermore, due to Hiruzen Sarutobi's cautious nature, some of Konoha's forces remained stationed outside the village and hadn't been recalled.
Still, most of Konoha's population, along with countless treasure seekers, perished under Godfire Heaven's Rebellion, their souls converted into system points.
This massive haul of resources left Uchiha Yi brimming with potential.
The time had come for an upgrade, but first, a bit of fun: a new draw.
After a ten-draw round, most of the duplicate or less useful abilities were set aside. However, two stood out for their uniqueness.
The first was Wind Fire Wheel. It consumes chakra to form a fiery wheel beneath the user's feet, granting the ability to fly. The speed could reach supersonic levels.
This ability was a perfect addition. Although Yi's Mangekyo Sharingan granted him immense power, it didn't grant him flight, which could be somewhat awkward.
While the Flame-Flame Fruit technically allowed him to hover, the speed wasn't particularly impressive. Developing a proper flying technique would take time—time Yi didn't have.
Now, with Wind Fire Wheel, he could finally complete his persona as the ninja world's Superman.
The second was The Spark, an ability originating from the Transformers universe, adapted to the ninja world's rules.
By combining Fire Release chakra with Yin-Yang Release, Yi could create a special flame capable of imbuing mechanical objects with life and a soul, transforming them into sentient beings.
"Wow!" Yi exclaimed.
This ability was straight out of his childhood dreams. As a kid watching Transformers, he had fantasized about owning a cool, transforming robot.
Now, it was possible.
"I need to find some machinery," Yi muttered, already thinking about recruiting Sasori or using Pain's Asura Path to create a Lamborghini that could transform into a battle robot.
Just imagining cruising around the ninja world in a transforming supercar—with a passenger seat occupied by a beautiful companion—was exhilarating.
Having tried his luck with the draw, Yi turned to upgrades.
Using 900 soul points, Yi upgraded Void Flame Devourer to Level 10.
The upgrade significantly enhanced its power and its ability to consume bloodlines, reaching a level where it could now devour even powerful, complex abilities.
Using another 900 soul points, Yi upgraded Fiery Gaze to Level 10, unlocking its secondary ability: Clairvoyance.
At this level, Yi's enhanced vision allowed him to see up to 50 kilometers.
This was game-changing. With 50 kilometers of vision, Yi could identify and eliminate enemies long before they even realized he was there.
The upgrades didn't stop there.
Great Fireball Jutsu and Meteor Volcano were both maxed out to Level 10.
Flame Breathing evolved into Sun Breathing, which produced energy comparable to that of the sun.
Yi considered upgrading other abilities but decided against it due to diminishing returns.
For example, leveling Sunfire Cloak to Level 10 would only provide defense equivalent to the Nine-Tails' chakra. Meanwhile, Fire Release Transportation—already capable of teleporting up to 300 kilometers—was sufficient for most situations in the ninja world.
Finally, Yi turned his attention to his newest abilities.
Upgraded to Level 10, Wind Fire Wheel's flight speed now matched his supersonic movements.
The Spark was upgraded to Level 3.
Although it didn't directly enhance Yi's combat prowess, its sheer cool factor made it irresistible.
With over 20,000 soul points remaining, Yi decided to save the rest for future skills or upgrades.
With his gains tallied, Yi decided against returning to Amegakure immediately. His Shadow Clone could handle escorting the Hyuga Clan into the village.
Instead, Yi set his sights on Kusagakure.
At first, he had only associated the village with Karin. However, during an earlier encounter, Black Zetsu had mentioned a Kusagakure ninja named Mui, and something had clicked.
Mui was tied to a mysterious relic known as the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
The box contained a powerful entity named Satori, but what intrigued Yi more was the vast number of souls trapped within the box over centuries.
A treasure trove of soul points lay waiting.
Without hesitation, Yi activated Wind Fire Wheel, soaring toward Kusagakure.
Using Fire Release Transportation would have been faster, but it had one drawback: the system's soul collection radius of 30 kilometers wouldn't pick up stray souls along the way.
As the fiery wheel propelled him through the sky, Yi reached up and crushed the mask covering his face.
He no longer needed to hide.
"I've outgrown you," he muttered.
The ninja world would now see Uchiha Yi for who he truly was.

Chapter 82: The Land of Grass and the Box of Ultimate Bliss
Kusagakure, located northwest of the Land of Fire and bordering the Land of Earth, is a small nation with a minor ninja village.
Despite its size, this small village is split into two factions.
One faction, Kusanomi, aims to use the wish-granting power of the Box of Ultimate Bliss to restore Kusagakure's glory and eventually dominate the world. This ambition, though naïve, rivals the delusions of grandeur seen in some real-world nations.
The opposing faction, Kusanohana, advocates for peace and stands firmly against Kusanomi.
Mui, the Kusagakure ninja who appeared in Konoha earlier, is a member of Kusanomi.
Believing in the legend of the Sage of Six Paths' great treasure, Mui personally led a team to Konoha to investigate.
Days passed without any results, and with the Box of Ultimate Bliss in need of constant guarding, Mui couldn't stay away from Kusagakure for too long. Frustrated and anxious, he left his subordinates in Konoha while he hurried back to his homeland.
But just as he had left Konoha, a deafening explosion roared from behind.
Turning back, Mui saw the once-thriving Konoha reduced to a smoldering wasteland in the blink of an eye.
The sight left Mui shocked and deeply shaken.
Had he stayed a moment longer in Konoha, he would have been caught in the destruction.
He began to wonder—could Konoha have truly possessed the Sage of Six Paths' treasure? Had they encountered an invincible enemy and been forced to unleash its power?
If not, how else could the mighty Konoha fall so swiftly?
The enemy they faced must have been unimaginably terrifying.
Regardless of the truth, Mui realized he was far out of his depth. To avoid becoming collateral damage, he hastened back to Kusagakure and resumed guarding the Box of Ultimate Bliss, determined to stay far from any further trouble.
But avoiding trouble doesn't mean trouble won't find you.
Returning to Kusagakure's Ghost Prison, Mui hadn't even settled in when commotion erupted outside.
Shrieks echoed, but within moments, all fell silent.
The eerie calm left Mui uneasy.
Just as he was about to investigate, he heard approaching footsteps.
Moments later, a young man appeared before him.
"You must be Mui, the warden of Ghost Prison and a member of Kusanomi?" Uchiha Yi asked, recognizing the man from their brief encounter in Konoha.
"I am," Mui replied. "Kid, I don't know how you got here, but I suggest you leave immediately. Otherwise, you'll stay here forever."
Though he tried to sound threatening, Mui remained cautious.
Whoever could approach him unscathed was no ordinary individual.
Memories of Konoha's destruction still haunted him, making him reluctant to provoke an unknown enemy.
"Then I've found the right person," Yi said, smiling. "I've heard you're guarding a treasure of the Sage of Six Paths—the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Mind showing it to me?"
Mui's expression darkened.
This intruder wasn't here by chance; he was after the Box!
"You dare covet the Box of Ultimate Bliss? I'll ensure you regret it!" Mui shouted.
Summoning a Fire Release: Celestial Prison Sword, he charged at Yi.
"Interesting," Yi remarked. "You dare use Fire Release against me?"
Heat Vision!
Activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, Yi's eyes glowed red before unleashing twin beams of scorching light.
In an instant, the beams struck Mui's arm, severing it completely.
"Ah!" Mui screamed, the searing pain overwhelming him.
"Now, will you tell me where the Box of Ultimate Bliss is?" Yi asked calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter.
"I'll take you there," Mui relented, realizing his hopeless position.
Though defeated, Mui harbored a sinister plan. If the Box could absorb Yi's immense chakra, it might finally open. Then, with a wish, Mui could revive Kusagakure's glory and achieve his ambitions.
Leading Yi to the Box, Mui's mind raced with fantasies of ruling the world.
Finally, they reached a massive iron chest, towering like a small building.
The chest's four sides bore carvings of human faces, each representing a different emotion: joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
"Here it is," Mui announced.
Yi paid no attention to the details of the Box.
"Good," he said. "That means I no longer need you."
Without hesitation, twin beams of heat vision pierced Mui's skull, ending him instantly.
Though Mui had led him to the Box, Yi had sensed the man's malicious intent along the way.
Rather than risk any future schemes, Yi opted to eliminate him.
Now alone, Yi turned his attention to the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
Its ominous presence intrigued him.
Within this enigmatic container lay countless souls—victims drawn in over the centuries.
"Let's see what secrets you hold," Yi muttered, preparing to unlock the Box's mysteries.
