"Three, three thousand! Good heavens, I've only earned seven or eight hundred Luck Points in five or six years. Under normal circumstances, it would take me decades to reach such a high amount!"

After reading every word, Uchiha Isho paced back and forth with a look of intense hunger, as if he had an endless supply of energy. Even though he had already eaten lunch, he couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.

Another year had passed, and having grown four centimeters taller, he appeared even more mature. His fair skin looked slightly less pale than before, but his appearance still caused many members of the opposite sex to turn and peek.

Over this past year, Uchiha Isho had followed Kakashi to complete three B-rank missions and dozens of C-rank missions. If it weren't for the fact that B-rank missions were highly sought after, Uchiha Isho was certain that Team 7 would have completed the most B-rank missions, as Kakashi always chose missions starting from B-rank and going down.

"One and two conflict, so it has to be one and three, or two and three. But the risk of failure..."

Uchiha Isho was troubled, his brows locked in a tight frown as he weighed the probability of success for each quest. He was quite indecisive; he had never gambled so recklessly before.

Meanwhile, at the Ninja Academy.

"Naruto, Sasuke. Are you sure you want to challenge all your classmates?"

"Don't worry, Iruka-sensei. Big Brother Uchiha Isho could beat all the students by himself, and there are two of us."

"Uchiha Isho, huh... That student is an unprecedented monster. If he is indeed your big brother, then go ahead and try. Just don't get beaten too badly by the others."

Ever since Uchiha Isho graduated with a crushing display of power, coupled with that stirring speech of his, the students who were most inspired were actually those in the lower grades.

Consequently, many students made Uchiha Isho their goal, dreaming of possessing the power to defeat all their peers just like he did. However, reality was cruel, and most students only managed to move up a few spots in the original rankings.

Sasuke is the top rookie this year, and Naruto has also broken into the top ten and mastered the Shadow Clone Technique. If they team up, they might actually have a fighting chance.

After analyzing the strength gap between the two sides, Iruka suddenly felt that these two seemingly arrogant guys had a decent chance of winning.

At this moment, Uchiha Isho never expected that Naruto and Sasuke would mimic the challenge he issued upon his own graduation to complete a system quest. Instead, he wore a look of grim determination.

"Fortune favors the bold. You only live once, so why fear death? If you don't fear life or death, just go for it..."

After muttering a string of spirit-lifting words, Uchiha Isho tapped on Quest 1 and Quest 3. This was the choice with the highest risk, but also the greatest reward.

[Host: Uchiha Isho]

[Ninjutsu: Great Fireball Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Ninja Art: Rain Dew Senbon...]

[Taijutsu: Shadow Leaf Dance]

[Genjutsu: None]

[System Inventory: Neji Hyuga, Explosive Tag x7, Luck Points 621]

"I've been here for six years, and my Luck Points haven't even broken a thousand. Including what I've already spent, I've only had 700 in total. When will I ever be able to draw an Epic-tier ninja again!"

Uchiha Isho grabbed his hair in frustration, feeling exceptionally anxious. He didn't dare to do single pulls on high-tier draws, betting that his rotten luck wouldn't favor him again, so hitting the pity threshold was the only viable option.

The sun slowly sank, and the time approached dusk.

"Hey! Big Brother Uchiha Isho, I knew you'd be waiting for us here. We've become Genin too, and we're the strongest Genin, just like you!"

Naruto's excited shouting drew the gazes of many parents who had come to pick up their children, their eyes filled with coldness and disgust.

Whenever he saw this, Uchiha Isho's murderous intent toward Danzo grew even stronger. If Danzo were to appear right now, Uchiha Isho feared he wouldn't be able to suppress his inner impulse and would go all out to hack him to pieces.

If it weren't for the fact that I want to save up 1000 Luck Points, and that the Third Hokage is still alive and would surely intervene, I would have already done a high-tier draw and gone to settle things with that dog Danzo.

Thinking that the opportunity was almost here, Uchiha Isho calmed his mood and continued to savor the dango in his hand.

Before Naruto and Sasuke could reach him, Uchiha Isho suddenly dissipated into white mist. The two were stunned, guessing that Uchiha Isho must have been too busy and could only send a shadow clone.

"You two came at the right time. If you had come any later, I would have had to eat these Three-Color Dango for you."

Having left two shadow clones behind, Uchiha Isho, who had received the information from the other clone, quickly rushed over from the dango shop. Fortunately, he was fast enough, arriving in a few flickers.

"By the way, Naruto, what were you saying just now? I didn't hear you clearly."

Handing over the dango, Uchiha Isho asked in confusion. Earlier, his mind had been on the parents at the school gate, and he hadn't caught it.

Naruto then launched into an excited account of his and Sasuke's bravery, with Uchiha Isho listening quietly on the side while Sasuke added a few words.

Upon hearing that the two had used the Transformation Technique combined with the Shadow Clone Technique to blend in among their classmates, causing chaos and even infighting among them, only for the two to strike from the shadows and win with only minor injuries, he nodded.

"Yo-shi, yo-shi, you two learned well; you've grasped my essence. If you can solve a problem with your brain, you must use your brain first. Force should always be the final resort."

Naruto and Sasuke nodded in agreement while eating their dango, and the three of them strolled happily toward the barbecue restaurant. Of course, Uchiha Isho was paying; after all, he wasn't short on money at the moment.

After leaving the barbecue restaurant, at Uchiha Isho's generous suggestion, the three headed toward the Rising Sun Pavilion. They prepared to wash away the grime on their bodies and enjoy a good night's sleep in the comfort of the hot springs.

The next afternoon, on the roof of the Ninja Academy.

Uchiha Isho had thought that because of him, the connection between Kakashi and Team 7 had been ruined. That was until Kakashi informed him that he would have three additional companions.

"So, Kakashi-sensei, you're essentially leading two squads of Genin. What I'm curious about is, did your salary go up, sensei?"
