The Uchiha Gunbai had a simple, unadorned appearance.

It was white all over, with its outer rim painted black, and made of an unknown metal. Its overall shape resembled a gourd, flattened until it was almost completely planar. A handle ran through the entire fan, and each side of the lower half bore two sets of red tomoe.

There were three in each set, arranged in the pattern of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Apart from that, the long handle was wrapped in coils of white bandages.

This was the Uchiha Gunbai that had cost more than ten million.

A long chain was attached to the end of its handle, with a small iron hammer hanging from the other end as a counterweight. It could probably be used to attack as well.

Wu Chen hefted the whole thing in his hand and was satisfied with its weight.

After all, this wasn't a fan, but more than ten million dollars!

Now that he had his new weapon, Wu Chen could eat in peace.

He exited roleplay mode, returned to his own appearance, and went downstairs to make himself a simple dinner.

After dinner, he resumed his role as Obito Uchiha and entered the Kamui Dimension.

He wanted to test the power of his new weapon.

Nothing that happened inside the Kamui Dimension would be known to the outside world, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Once inside, Wu Chen immediately formed hand seals and created a Shadow Clone.

Two mysterious masked men stood facing each other.

The clone knew his mission and immediately began forming hand seals.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Whoosh~!!

A fireball three or four meters across roared straight toward Wu Chen.

Without thinking, Wu Chen raised the fan to block it.

Then, as Wu Chen watched, the fireball suddenly began to shrink.

It grew smaller and smaller until it vanished completely, absorbed by the Gunbai.

For some reason, Wu Chen felt the Gunbai in his hand fill with power, and he couldn't help saying softly, "Uchiha Reflection."

Boom~!!!

In the next instant, a violent wind burst from the face of the fan and swept fiercely toward the masked clone.

Though the clone unleashed his chakra and fought to resist, he was still blown into the air, where he vanished with a poof inside the Kamui Dimension.

"It really is powerful!"

Obito Uchiha's strength had already reached Kage Level, yet even so, his clone couldn't withstand the hurricane produced when the Uchiha Gunbai absorbed the Great Fireball and converted it.

This clearly showed that the more than ten million had been well spent.

As for its power, Wu Chen had expected it.

Madara Uchiha, brought back by Impure World Reincarnation, had once used the Uchiha Gunbai to block a Tailed Beast Bomb from Naruto in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, then converted it into a hurricane and reflected it back, knocking Naruto down.

The Uchiha Gunbai's Uchiha Reflection could even reflect a miniature Tailed Beast Bomb, let alone a mere C-rank Ninjutsu like the Great Fireball Technique.

In Naruto, Fire Release Ninjutsu had the "complimentary" nickname of techniques of benevolence, because Fire Release Ninjutsu in Naruto had never killed a single person!

Of course, that was also a coincidence and a joke. In reality, Fire Release Ninjutsu was a powerful type of release technique with both power and range.

Since the opportunity was rare, Wu Chen continued practicing in the Kamui Dimension.

He tried the various Fire Release Ninjutsu Obito knew, then combined them with the fan to create wind-and-fire Ninjutsu, making their power even more exceptional.

With the Uchiha Gunbai's enhancement, an ordinary Great Fireball Technique swelled from three or four meters to more than ten meters across!

The Uchiha Gunbai truly was a divine weapon for Fire Style.

It was precisely because of these properties that the Uchiha Clan had treated it as an heirloom, passing it down until it reached Madara Uchiha.

Having improved Obito's attacking power, Wu Chen had achieved his goal in spending the money this time.

He had even discovered a new way to increase Obito's roleplay progress.

It had been quite a haul.

He checked the time. It was still early for bed, so Wu Chen returned to his room, exited roleplay mode, and returned to his original body. Then he began training his chakra control.

Only with sufficient chakra control could he learn to use more Ninjutsu.

Of course, even if not for that, he still had to improve his chakra control.

Only then could he create more Shadow Clones.

And Shadow Clones determined how many characters he could roleplay at the same time.

For now, he only had two characters to roleplay, so creating one Shadow Clone was enough, but what about when he had more characters in the future?

So he had to be able to create more Shadow Clones.

As for the fatigue after a Shadow Clone was released, Wu Chen felt that with Wish Cards, none of it would be a problem.

Climbing the walls and getting onto the ceiling in his room, Wu Chen failed again and again, but he made progress after every failure.

He kept practicing like that until Minato Namikaze returned.

A golden flash streaked past, and Minato Namikaze made a dazzling entrance, clad in a white Hokage cloak, his hair golden!

"Yo~ You're back~" Wu Chen greeted him instinctively. Then he saw Minato Namikaze exit roleplay mode and turn into the Wu Chen clone.

Then, with a poof, the Wu Chen clone dispelled the Shadow Clone Technique on his own.

A set of memories appeared in Wu Chen's mind, and his body felt somewhat tired as well.

That was the benefit of Shadow Clones: they could share memories and experience.

It was also a drawback: they made a person even more tired.
