Chapter 201 - Chapter 143: Chunin Exam

The Superpower Roulette has been successfully updated, with not much difference from before. The number of spins is still just one, but now an extra stored spin is available.

Additionally, there is now a redeemable abilities list, with all previously used abilities, three draws can be exchanged for fifteen days.

[Enchanting Demon Body], [Dream Master], and [Stealing], abilities comparable to Gods, even if only usable for fifteen days, will suffice.

"Let's hold onto it for now, there is no particular need recently..."

Uchiha Yoichi thought, now that the war has just ended, he suddenly has free time, with his sole focus being the Security Team and the family's business.

The village's battle merits have been settled. His battle merits from the Hidden Cloud battlefield turned into thirty S-Class Tasks and forty A-Class Tasks. However, Uchiha Yoichi doesn't need anything from them, so he just recorded the battle merits.

He already possesses all of the village's Forbidden Techniques, even more advanced ones than the Second Generation Hokage's Reanimation Jutsu, so the village's rewards barely interest him.

During the wars in the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Rivers, Uchiha Yoichi acquired the most battle merits, outshining Hatake Sakumo, Jiraiya, and Namikaze Minato.

Moreover, with one war and a clan leader dispute, Uchiha Yoichi directly moved into the village's upper echelons, and with the Security Team's restructuring, Uchiha's influence in the village will only grow.

Currently, aside from training, Uchiha Yoichi spends his days immersed in the family's business and nights juggling between Uzumaki Minami and Uchiha Mikota.

Uzumaki Minami huffingly wants more space. Once she even wore white stockings that Uchiha Yoichi likes, hiding in his bed, unwilling to leave. Mikota felt a bit jealous but eventually went to sleep in the next room.

Yoichi constantly wishes Mikota and Minami could be together. However, Mikota is somewhat resistant—while she loves Uchiha Yoichi and accepts Uzumaki Minami, bringing the two together is challenging.

Mikota is a traditional woman, and despite having built a family with Uchiha Yoichi, she finds such 'new' matters hard to accept.

Currently, Uchiha Mikota is undergoing silent transformation under Uchiha Yoichi's influence, evolving from a Yamato nadeshiko-style beauty into a powerful woman in the Land of Fire.

Unlike before, now Uchiha Mikota, a transfer secretary, holds genuine authority over billions in financial transactions.

Uchiha Yoichi's next step is building the Land of Fire's 'mouthpiece' industry, using surplus clan funds to acquire various entertainment industries across the nation.

Bookstores, newspapers, and TV stations, among others, not only help Uchiha exert media influence but also generate revenue in tandem with the Ninja game industry.

Most importantly is the former—by monopolizing the Land of Fire's media industry, Uchiha Yoichi can have his words spread throughout the nation.

Recently, Orochimaru decided not to visit Ryuchi Cave after discussions with Uchiha Yoichi.

The Immortal Techniques at Ryuchi Cave, though rare to acquire, won't disappear if left alone. It's better to secure Hashirama Cells first.

So the next day, Orochimaru went to find Danzo at Root.

When he arrived at the Root Base, he was initially stopped, but upon stating his intention, a Root Ninja led him to Danzo.

"Orochimaru, I knew you would come."

Danzo feigned profoundness and spoke, "I can see your ambition; Hiruzen's style doesn't suit you at all. Only Root can allow you to maximize your value; also, whatever Hiruzen offers you, I can offer you, including the Forbidden Techniques from the Sealing Book."

"How about it, join Root. If you agree, I'll speak to Hiruzen."

Orochimaru remained expressionless but felt a little amused inside. If not for the chance to obtain Hashirama Cells here, he wouldn't have come.

Plus, Uchiha Yoichi claimed he could also obtain the Forbidden Techniques from the Sealing Book, though he wasn't sure if it was true. However, he had already acquired several Hidden Cloud Secret Techniques.

Ultimately, I'll ask when I return; if Uchiha Yoichi can get the Forbidden Techniques from the Sealing Book, then Danzo's value would solely lie in securing Hashirama Cells, and I can offer Danzo a Wood Release Ninja, making it a win for Danzo.

"We'll discuss that matter later, Lord Danzo. For now, I wish to research the power of Wood Release first."

Orochimaru said, his voice hoarse with laughter: "I have some insights into human anatomy research; if it's Wood Release, it should be quick to study."

Danzo snorted coldly and replied, "Heh, Orochimaru, you're too arrogant. Even my teacher, the Second Generation Hokage, researched Hashirama Cells but couldn't reproduce the Wood Release Bloodline; you think you can manage it?"

"If within three months you haven't penetrated the secrets of Hashirama Cells, I'll offer you a more formidable Juinjutsu. This Juinjutsu allows a Chunin to temporarily possess Jonin-level power..."

After speaking, an ominous flame-purple pattern appeared on Orochimaru's face, transforming into a purple mask. His Chakra surged immensely, making Danzo feel threatened.

"Orochimaru, this is...."

"This is my secret. However, if after three months I haven't studied the Wood Release power, I'll offer you this Juinjutsu. How about it?"

Orochimaru smiled as he spoke to Danzo; he wasn't worried that Uchiha Yoichi would cheat him. There was no need for Uchiha Yoichi to acquire Hashirama Cells through such means. Once he secured the Hashirama Cells, the method to merge with them would surely follow.
