Watching Nagato weep with joy, Uchiha Fucheng opened this reward with satisfaction.

This reward made Uchiha Fucheng hesitate for a moment.

Nagato was undoubtedly a very important figure, worthy of investing more Recognition Points. But after all, it relied on luck; if he rolled a two, he might only end up with one of Nagato's personal items.

He might even end up with a frog doll suit belonging to Nagato.

After weighing the options, Uchiha Fucheng invested ten times the standard amount: 200 points.

[Nagato's Fate Dice]

Roll!

The dice landed on 5.

Uchiha Fucheng let out a long breath; his luck this time was truly quite good.

[Obtained Mutated Uzumaki Bloodline talent, obtained Chakra enhancement.]

Among all the various fate rewards, this was the one Uchiha Fucheng was most satisfied with.

Powerful vitality and a surging increase in chakra simultaneously manifested within Uchiha Fucheng's body.

The Mutated Uzumaki Sage Body was truly worthy of its reputation.

Although he failed to obtain the Rinnegan, the Mutated Uzumaki Sage Body was already a top-tier reward in the second grade.

If one were to take stock of the rewards Uchiha Fucheng had harvested.

The two strongest were undoubtedly those given by Fugaku and Nawaki.

One was the Mangekyo Sharingan ocular power from Fugaku.

The other was the small amount of Senju bloodline talent obtained after changing the trajectory of Nawaki's fate.

These two rewards allowed Uchiha Fucheng to strengthen his core combat abilities.

The Sharingan ability far exceeding that of ordinary Uchiha ninja, and the "Chakra-ton" physique far exceeding that of average jonin.

The two talents would also complement each other.

In essence, they were Uchiha Fucheng's (spiritual energy) Yin Release and (cellular ability) Yang Release.

The Mutated Uzumaki Bloodline contributed by Nagato this time also allowed the small amount of Senju bloodline to deeply fuse with it.

This kind of fusion was somewhat like the ancestral reversion of the Otsutsuki clan bloodline.

Whether it was the five elemental ninjutsu of Fire, Wind, Thunder, Water, and Earth, or the physical balance of Yin and Yang Release, the changes could be intuitively felt.

In terms of total chakra volume, if an ordinary jonin's total chakra was 100.

Then Uchiha Fucheng's current total chakra volume had already exceeded the 2000 level.

There was also a very obvious improvement in his chakra recovery speed.

In Uchiha Fucheng's impression, Nagato, the genius of the Mutated Uzumaki Sage Body, was a "Tailed Beast-level existence" capable of desperately pouring chakra into the shell of the Ten-Tails.

As this bloodline ability fused, not only would the side effects brought by the Mangekyo Sharingan on Uchiha Fucheng diminish.

His chakra would also undergo earth-shaking changes as it continued to grow.

This reminded Uchiha Fucheng of [Multi-Shadow Clone], the special ninjutsu that served as a cheat for the protagonist.

This was a bug-exploiting technique that could only be used by those with "Chakra-tons."

Perhaps, if his chakra allowed it, he could also try to summon dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of clones.

By using a massive number of clones to practice chakra, could he, like Naruto, quickly master chakra shape transformation and nature transformation?

The two medical ninja at the field hospital were also shocked by Uchiha Fucheng's mysterious ocular technique.

This powerful medical ability had already exceeded their understanding.

It was even more shocking than seeing Tsunade use "forbidden-level" medical ninjutsu with their own eyes.

They recalled the things they had heard back in Konoha.

The first was the last battle against the Sand Ninja, where Uchiha Fugaku had been blasted with hundreds of wounds, yet was ultimately saved by this Lord Fucheng.

The second was the wife of Konoha White Fang. When she was critically ill, she was also successfully treated by this Lord Uchiha Fucheng using his mysterious ocular technique.

Other Konoha ninja would always look down on the arrogance of the Uchiha clan, forming a strange stereotype that "the Uchiha clan is hard to get along with."

But in the eyes of these medical ninja, they all scoffed at such notions.

"You bunch of trash, what right do you have to be snide about the Uchiha?"

The Uchiha clan leader was simply awesome.

That was a powerful existence revered by everyone in the ninja world, capable of snatching people back from the hands of the Grim Reaper.

The medical ninja made up their minds that upon returning to the village, they would definitely warn the old and young in their families.

They must get along well with the Uchiha clan.

As doctors, they understood too well the principle of never offending a miracle doctor.

Everyone falls ill or suffers misfortune at some point; it is best not to offend those who might one day save your life.

If, by some chance, you ever had to beg the Uchiha clan for help, and there had been a dispute or private grudge between your two clans, you wouldn't be able to buy a "regret pill" anywhere.

With the successful start of saving Nagato, things became much easier for Yahiko and Konan.

The Land of Rain had become the primary theater of war, making life increasingly difficult for its ordinary citizens.

Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan all became orphans during this period.

Although there was no precise location data or specific time for when they would meet, the window of time regarding the deaths of their family members and their subsequent displacement was roughly the same for all three founders of the Akatsuki.

From a chronological standpoint, they lost their parents and became orphans during the first phase of Konoha's invasion of the Land of Rain.

With the war progressing smoothly, the main force led by Jiraiya and his two teammates was unstoppable, cutting through everything in the Land of Rain.

Salamander Hanzo, currently entangled by the Sand Ninja, felt like he could eat Chiyo alive.

This provided a significant battlefield advantage for Jiraiya and his team.

Konoha had pushed from the border of the Land of Fire deep into the interior of the Land of Rain, encountering almost no formidable opponents, save for the Salamander Doshin who had been taken out by Uchiha Fucheng.

As the occupied territory expanded, Uchiha Fucheng had to split up his Uchiha ninja, assigning them to different occupied towns to carry out missions of clearing out hidden remnants of the Rain Ninja.

The Misaka 0015s, now expanded to twenty-seven members, were also hidden across various towns.

They began a carpet search, looking for the future founders of the Akatsuki.

Under these circumstances, the ninja squad led by Mikoto, while completing a mission independently, encountered the greatest life-or-death crisis since their team was formed!

Leading Uchiha Hezi and the other two this time was Misaka 0015, dispatched by Mikoto.

She was a Misaka 0015 whom Uchiha Fucheng had nicknamed "Moon."

Misaka 0015 stood nearly fifteen centimeters taller than Mikoto herself.

With broad shoulders, a large face, and arms nearly thicker than Mikoto's thighs, she was a striking figure.

Although 015's appearance was very similar to Mikoto's, her temperament felt completely different.

It even gave Uchiha Fucheng a sense of déjà vu, as if he were looking at Biscuit before her transformation.

Having spent a long time in contact with Mikoto, the three members of Mikoto's squad had long since known of the Misaka 0015s' existence.

In their daily lives, they had even seen the Misaka 0015s without their masks.

Even Uchiha Hezi, who had always been a little fan of Mikoto, was astonished by these "clone ninjas" who looked so much like Big Sister Mikoto.

But Uchiha Fucheng had already shocked them so many times that they didn't even dare to ask, instead filling in the blanks themselves with all sorts of wild guesses about how the "Mangekyo Sharingan could create ninja clones."

When executing missions, because Mikoto needed to monitor the electromagnetic communication network, she let Misaka 0015 lead the three of them.

Over time, the three of them even began to view the differently-built Misaka 0015s as clones of Mikoto.

Today, their mission was to capture Nagashima Ryosuke, the administrator of this Sweet Water Town.

0015, who was in charge of the team, quickly recounted the specific intelligence on their target:

"He is the former mayor of Sweet Water Town and controls nearly a quarter of the production of Military Ration Pills and ninja medicine in the Land of Rain.

After Lady Tsunade captured Sweet Water Town, no trace of Nagashima Ryosuke was found.

Based on current intelligence, Nagashima Ryosuke's hiding place is still in the vicinity of Sweet Water Town."

Uchiha Hezi asked, "What about him personally? Is he a ninja?"

0015 shook her head. "He shouldn't be a ninja himself; Nagashima Ryosuke is a branch family member of the famous Nagashima Trading Company in the Land of Rain."

0015 looked at the file and added, "Among his personal guards, there should be no fewer than two ninjas.

The leader of these guards is a former Mist Ninja rogue named Taketori Eitaro.

The bounty on his head in the black market has already exceeded ten million ryo."
