Katsuo's recent spending spree was actually related to his training. Old Duy's medicinal baths were extremely valuable, and naturally, extremely expensive...
Lately, he had become rather obsessed with body training. Every day, he dragged his exhausted body home. Ever since transmigrating, he had hardly ever stopped training his body!
Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with the diluted medicinal baths Old Duy used for body training. He sought out Old Duy and paid a hefty sum for a "full-strength" body-training medicinal bath packed with medicinal power. Then he soaked himself in it to "heal" and "temper" his battered body!
Although Old Duy did not approve of Katsuo's unhealthy obsession with body training, he had great confidence in his family's medicinal wine. After all, it was a secret ancestral recipe, a miraculous body-training medicine that he had personally tested for many years!
Every time Katsuo finished soaking, Old Duy would add some water before soaking in it himself. Katsuo's small body could not absorb much of the medicinal power, so such expensive medicinal liquid could not be wasted carelessly.
Of course, even after Katsuo had used the medicinal wine and Old Duy had diluted it with water, its potency was still two or three times stronger than the medicine Old Duy normally prepared.
Most of Katsuo's money was therefore spent on the two of them training. After witnessing Katsuo's "Financial Power," Old Duy had always firmly believed he was a Rich Second Generation. After all, no child could spend money so extravagantly unless he was a Rich Second Generation—or perhaps even a third-generation rich kid...
The Uchiha Clan was a great clan. To Old Duy, it was perfectly normal for a Rich Second Generation from such a clan to have that kind of spending power...
Katsuo was also exceptionally generous and straightforward with his money. Meat? They ate the best. Medicine? They used the best too!
Of course, if Old Duy had not repeatedly insisted that soaking in medicinal baths himself would no longer have much effect, Katsuo would not have let him soak in his secondhand bathwater.
Old Duy's daily training no longer left him feeling particularly tired. That was why he insisted there was no need for him to use the full-strength medicinal bath!
All in all, Katsuo's money had been well spent.
Over the past half year, his physical abilities had already surpassed those of the vast majority of children his age. If not for his age limiting his growth, his progress would have gone far beyond this. It was the reward for his daily hard work and relentless training!
As he walked toward the academy, Katsuo considered his next course of "action."
Since he wanted to demonstrate his value, Katsuo naturally would not show it only to Uchiha Feng. At this stage, his "ambitions" and goals were focused on a certain "peeping tom"!
The "campus ***" he had stirred up earlier was merely bait he had cast. He was waiting for the children of the great clans to rise up and resist, and he was also waiting for the real big fish to bite!
Of course, part of the reason was that he wanted to make some "pocket money" to maintain his image as a wealthy "negative second generation" in front of Old Duy!
That day at the academy, the moment class ended, someone unexpected came looking for him.
Uchiha Fugaku? What does he want?
Looking at Fugaku, Katsuo scratched his head.
Ever since this guy had been taught a lesson by Katsuo's genjutsu, he had been unconscious for a day and recuperated for three. Yet not only had he not caused trouble or sought revenge, he even greeted Katsuo with a smile whenever they met. Katsuo could not make heads or tails of it.
He even wondered whether the genjutsu had hurt Fugaku too badly, causing such severe mental trauma that it had damaged his brain.
That shouldn't be possible. The Hell Viewing Technique is only a C-rank Genjutsu. Even if my spiritual power is abnormally strong, it shouldn't have done this...
Katsuo pondered inwardly, unable to understand Fugaku's behavior.
If he knew that Uchiha Feng had visited Fugaku's Grandfather and what he had told him, Katsuo would not have found it strange.
Fugaku had heeded his Grandfather's teachings and regarded Katsuo as his target. In his heart, he also agreed with his Grandfather's guidance:
No matter how strong he is, he can only become the sword in my hand in the end, because his surname is Uchiha!
I will definitely become the future Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan! I should look further ahead and be more broad-minded!
Fugaku silently reminded himself.
At that moment, Fugaku got straight to the point.
"Hiashi from your class has found some upperclassmen and is planning to cause trouble for you!"
He had come to ask whether Katsuo needed help. He intended to offer help in his time of need, lend Katsuo a hand, and win him over!
"Oh? How many people did he find?"
Katsuo asked casually, now interested.
"Hiashi is from the Hyuga Clan's main family, so nearly every branch family member at the academy will obey his orders. There are around twenty Hyuga students from first year and above. Add some children from the smaller clans affiliated with the Hyuga Clan, along with some civilian lackeys, and I estimate there are no fewer than fifty people altogether!"
Fugaku trembled slightly as he spoke, his tone excited. He was still young, and as the Uchiha Clan's young master, he loved nothing more than gathering people for a group brawl!
"More than fifty people?"
Katsuo's eyelids twitched.
Damn, I underestimated the influence of the Hyuga Clan's main family...
He knew Hiashi was unwilling to accept what had happened, and he knew Hiashi would find people to take revenge on him, but he truly had not expected Hiashi to gather so many people...
What did more than fifty people mean? That was practically the equivalent of two classes' worth of students!
Seeing Katsuo's surprised expression, Fugaku sneered inwardly, though he asked with a grin on his face, "Do you need my help? We Uchiha..."
"No need!"
Before Fugaku could say more, Katsuo bluntly cut him off.
"!!!"
Fugaku's face twitched violently, and he froze completely. Katsuo had said it with such absolute certainty that there was no way he had misheard...
Suddenly, Katsuo felt a familiar sensation—a strange feeling of being watched!
It's here!
Katsuo's figure appeared clearly within a Crystal Ball.
Gathered around the Crystal Ball were the Sannin. At this time, they had yet to become famous and could at most be considered three fairly capable Jonin. Every day, they spent a considerable amount of time studying beside the Third Hokage, while also running errands and serving as his assistants.
All of a sudden, Katsuo in the Crystal Ball slammed his hand on the desk and shot to his feet, giving Fugaku beside him quite a fright. This unexpected scene immediately drew the attention of the Third Hokage and the Sannin.
"It's that little guy again!"
Tsunade said with a smile at the corner of her lips. She had quite a favorable impression of Katsuo.
The others remained silent, but their eyes stayed fixed on him. Clearly, they had become curious about the little fellow as well.
Inside the classroom, Katsuo's brows stood on end. With an angry expression, he shouted, "I want to see just who the hell Hyuga Hiashi thinks he is!"
After delivering that harsh declaration, he had barely stepped out of the classroom when he saw Nawaki running toward him, his face bruised and swollen.
"Boss, you came at the right time! Hiashi found people to beat you up! He just beat me up too, boohoo... Boss, you have to stand up for me..."
Seeing Nawaki's battered face, Katsuo silently sighed that taking in this lackey had been fucking brilliant!
"Don't panic!"
Katsuo said calmly. He pulled Nawaki over and patted his shoulder reassuringly.
"I'll stand up for you. That bastard Hiashi is dead meat!"
Those outrageously arrogant words instantly brought tears to Nawaki's eyes and won his utter devotion. He was just short of offering Katsuo his tender, precious ass!
"Boss is mighty!"
Nawaki shouted, his face flushed and his expression excited. Following Katsuo around lately had been fucking thrilling!
The harmonious scene between the two little best buddies appeared in the Crystal Ball, and the Sannin and the Third Hokage watched with great interest.
"Hm? It looks like my Nawaki got beaten up!"
Tsunade said angrily, her delicate brows rising sharply.
