"Excuse me, when can I leave?"

"After the Anbu investigation."

"Don't the Anbu question the person involved during their investigation?"

"After the Anbu investigation!"

After saying this, the cat-faced mask Anbu member stopped speaking, and no matter how Uchiha Yoichi questioned him, he received no response.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yoichi had no choice but to give up. Now, he could only wait for the Anbu to release him or for rescue from his clan.

However, with Uchiha Fugaku's somewhat weak personality, he would probably negotiate with Konoha's higher-ups and then wait for the Anbu's investigation.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoichi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The heavy casualties of his teammates were not his fault; it was Konoha's intelligence that was inadequate. For a C-rank mission, there was a Jonin and a Chunin, plus two Genin. It was already quite good that he managed to bring back one teammate.

Uchiha Fugaku should have seized upon Konoha's inadequate intelligence and relentlessly criticized the Konoha mission team for their failures, which nearly cost him, a Chunin of the Uchiha clan, his life.

When would the Uchiha clan become stronger!

Uchiha Yoichi was a transmigrator. He had only arrived in the ninja world a year ago.

The previous owner of his body had decent talent. He graduated early and became a Chunin two years later. He had also awakened his Sharingan. Although it was only a One Tomoe, awakening the Sharingan was already considered rare within the Uchiha clan.

He could be considered a prodigy.

However, after the original body was replaced by his transmigration, things became awkward. He wasn't the original owner. Although he inherited the memories, his combat experience was basically like watching a movie play out in his mind.

Immediately after transmigrating, Uchiha Yoichi decisively requested a six-month leave of absence from Konoha through his clan. He wouldn't accept any missions for half a year, wanting to first master his own abilities.

He knew how to refine Chakra, how to perform hand seals to release Ninjutsu, and he could even use his Sharingan.

He just needed to turn these into his actual strength. Therefore, Uchiha Yoichi trained in his clan for half a year.

He made considerable progress during this half-year. He became proficient in Ninjutsu and Chakra according to his memories, essentially inheriting all of the original owner's abilities.

And he had also suffered a lot from his 'Golden Finger'!

Speaking of Uchiha Yoichi's Golden Finger, the Superpower Roulette, this Golden Finger was characterized by its "infinite variability"!

Every month, a random superpower would refresh. Some superpowers were outrageously strong, while others were so useless that even a dog wouldn't want them.

For example, in this mission, he, an ordinary Chunin, along with three Genin, managed to survive against an enemy Jonin, Chunin, two Genin, and a group of bandits, and eliminate them all, all thanks to today's superpower.

[Empty Hand Catches White Blade]: When you swing your blade, your primary target will unconditionally kneel on one knee and catch the blade with both hands. When the enemy lets go depends on when you withdraw your blade, but withdrawing the blade will exhaust all your stamina.

Uchiha Yoichi relied on this move to kill the Jonin with the cooperation of a Genin.

Actually, there was another time when Uchiha Yoichi's ninja squad was wiped out. At that time, their squad was on a border patrol mission and happened to encounter two elite Cloud Ninja squads crossing the border.

If it weren't for his superpower being just right at the time, Uchiha Yoichi, who had only been in the ninja world for half a year, would have been sent to the underworld.

[Turn Enemy into Friend]: This allows anyone hostile towards you to instantly have their favorability towards you soar to 99, but you must flatter and compliment them for three hours, otherwise their favorability will drop to -99.

If not for this skill, Uchiha Yoichi would have perished along with his teammates.

Fortunately, after activating this superpower, Uchiha Yoichi successfully became best buddies with the two elite Cloud Ninja squads. He hung out with them for a few hours, not only learning about their mission intelligence but also getting friendly with one of the squad leaders. He even managed to get the cultivation method for Lightning Release Chakra Mode from him after they had a few drinks in a passing town.

There was also another mission where no lives were lost, but the four members of the squad all had a collective fall. Apart from Uchiha Yoichi, the other three suffered broken legs and arms. After the three squad members recovered from their injuries, the team inexplicably disbanded.

He had caused three mission teams to disband within half a year. That's why when Uchiha Yoichi returned to the village this time, he was brought in for investigation by the Anbu.

However, while they called it an investigation, Uchiha Yoichi felt that the Anbu was simply restricting his personal freedom.

He had been locked up for four or five hours. Apart from being given two rice balls and a cup of water in the middle, Uchiha Yoichi hadn't eaten anything else. He had just returned from a "battle," after all.

His Chakra had been significantly depleted; he needed a good meal to recover.

After an unknown amount of time, Uchiha Yoichi had even fallen asleep in the detention room. As he was dozing off, he heard the Anbu knocking on the door.

"Uchiha Yoichi, you can come out now."

After saying this, the cat-faced mask Anbu member directly opened the detention room door.

"Your efficiency is truly remarkable. I thought I'd be living here for a month, but I'm out in just a few hundred minutes."

Uchiha Yoichi couldn't help but retort sarcastically, but the cat-faced mask Anbu member didn't respond.

Soon after leaving the detention room, Uchiha Yoichi saw Uchiha Kanbayashi waiting outside. He was a squad leader in the Konoha Military Police Force and a well-known Jonin of the Uchiha clan.

"Yoichi, let's go back."

"Thank you for picking me up, Senior Kanbayashi."

Uchiha Yoichi said. He then glanced at the sky; it was already completely dark. He had been detained for at least six or seven hours.

"Senior Kanbayashi, what about this mission? The Anbu didn't tell me the outcome when they let me out."

Uchiha Kanbayashi didn't answer immediately. He walked a distance with Uchiha Yoichi, away from the ninja building, before replying, "There's no outcome yet. The higher-ups haven't reached a consensus. However, some suggested that the interrogation unit conduct a brain scan on you, but the clan head refused."

"This mission was very strange. A C-rank mission had a Jonin and Chunin. The mission team also refused to admit that there was an issue with the mission intelligence. They used your past actions as a basis, and since you brought back the head of that Jonin, after an investigation, it was confirmed to be a coincidence."

"That Stone Ninja infiltration team was likely trying to gather information on the movements of the Land of Fire's Daimyo's mansion, and you just happened to disrupt them. This is also why the clan head opposed a brain scan on you."

"So, I'm a hero then? What are Konoha's higher-ups doing?"

Even Uchiha Yoichi, despite his good temper, almost cursed out the entire quartet. He continued, "I risked my life to bring intelligence back to Konoha, and now you want to search my brain? Senior Kanbayashi, don't you think that's unreasonable? I'm a hero who killed a Stone Ninja Jonin."

Besides, mission accidents are incredibly common. Kakashi took Naruto on their first C-rank mission, which was upgraded to A-rank or S-rank. If it weren't for White Heart's kindness, Kakashi's team would have had at least two more orphans.

"It is indeed unreasonable. The clansmen in the Guard Unit heard the news and were furious. However, the clan head just took office not long ago, so you should try to understand him."

Uchiha Kanbayashi sighed and said, the clan head wanted to develop the Uchiha further in his own way, and as a clansman, he could only support him.

"But Yoichi, how did you kill that Stone Ninja Jonin?"
