Recharge Five Hundred Million!

Take, for instance, the White Fang of the Leaf, Hatake Sakumo, who was not only Kakashi's father but also a former leader of the Anbu!

A powerhouse of Hokage-level strength, he was driven to suicide by rumors and public opinion simply because his prowess and contributions threatened the rule of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the status of Shimura Danzō.

Then there was Uchiha Shisui, a genius of the Uchiha Clan who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and undoubtedly possessed Hokage-level combat capability.

Not to mention that his Mangekyō ability was the most terrifying of all: Kotoamatsukami.

It is a great pity that such a genius died due to a sneak attack by Shimura Danzō.

He even had one of his eyes gouged out.

Uchiha Itachi became a blade in the hands of the Konoha high command, slaughtering his own kin and defecting from Konoha.

Although this guy lacked humanity and was severely brainwashed, one must admit that he also possessed Hokage-level combat capability.

Add to that Hizashi Hyuga, the father of Hyuga Neji!

As the head of the Hyuga Clan's branch family, he was likely on par with his brother, Hyuga Hiashi, in strength, yet his death was utterly ridiculous.

The weakness of the Third Hokage caused Konoha to lose yet another powerhouse.

There was also Tsunade, who left the village in despair.

Orochimaru, who defected from Konoha after his human experiments were exposed.

And Jiraiya, who wandered the Ninja World in search of his old friend and the legendary Child of Prophecy.

Furthermore, the head of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku, was a contemporary of Namikaze Minato and very likely had already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

All these individuals possessed strength nearing or outright reaching the Hokage level.

Yet, they either died or left.

Not to mention the entire Uchiha Clan being wiped out; one must remember that the Uchiha were the pinnacle of Konoha's combat power.

Thinking about it now, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō truly did nothing good.

Ito Hirofumi's thoughts drifted far away; he had just intended to give Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto a surprise, but ended up dwelling on the past powerhouses of Konoha.

After hearing Ito Hirofumi's words, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto both fell silent.

Although both of them had somewhat eccentric personalities, that did not mean they were fools.

Even Uzumaki Naruto understood from Ito Hirofumi's words that spending money to become stronger was not the biggest secret; the thing that could bring the two of them a surprise was likely the true secret.

If that secret were exposed, it would likely bring immense trouble to Ito Hirofumi!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Sasuke did not press for details.

Instead, he stood up and walked directly into his room.

A moment later, Uchiha Sasuke walked out carrying a large box.

"Hirofumi! No matter what you intend to do, I believe in you! As for the surprise you just mentioned, I am looking forward to it as well!

Although I inherited the entire legacy of the Uchiha Clan, the most valuable parts are actually these buildings and this plot of land.

So, this is all the cash I have: a total of five hundred million ryo!

I kept some pocket money for daily expenses, but these five hundred million ryo are all yours!

If this land and these buildings were sold, they should be worth another five or six hundred million!

There are also those remaining ninjutsu scrolls and such, which should also fetch a decent price...

If you need them..."

Uchiha Sasuke had intended to say that if Ito Hirofumi needed it, he could also sell some of the land or the ninjutsu scrolls.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ito Hirofumi.

"That is enough! Sasuke! I never expected you to trust me this much..."

Ito Hirofumi was truly moved at this moment! He had not expected Uchiha Sasuke to be willing to sell off the entire Uchiha Clan legacy for his sake.

If he didn't give Uchiha Sasuke a perfect family in the future, he would truly be failing him.

As for the events yet to come, he had to do his utmost to change them.

"What are you saying? Aren't we friends? Besides, I really can't use all this money! Keeping ten or twenty million for daily pocket money is more than enough!"

Uchiha Sasuke said this while putting on a very cool, detached air.

"Rest assured, Sasuke! In the future, I will definitely give you a huge surprise! I know what your goal is, and I know what the greatest pain in your heart is!"

Uchiha Sasuke assumed that Ito Hirofumi meant he would help him take revenge once his strength grew...

"No need! I will handle the revenge myself! I must kill that man with my own hands!"

"No, that is not what I am talking about.

I believe you will take your revenge yourself; I am talking about something else.

In any case, it is too early to talk about these things now, but believe me, you will definitely find out!

Including you, Uzumaki Naruto!

It won't be long now!"

Looking at the massive chest of silver before him, Ito Hirofumi felt his heart burning with intensity; with this five hundred million in startup capital, he could summon five Kage-level powerhouses!

And most importantly, he could extract one ability from each of these powerhouses...

Of course, he could choose not to summon five Kage-level powerhouses and instead opt for fifty elite jonin.

But no matter how he looked at it, five Kage-level powerhouses were a much better deal.

Elite jonin were, after all, only elite jonin; even if he had a hundred of them, they wouldn't be able to defeat five Kage-level powerhouses!

Furthermore, there were differences even among Kage-level powerhouses; someone like Uchiha Madara could easily wipe out fifty elite jonin all by himself...

If he could manage to pull out Senju Hashirama, that would be a massive score!!!

After finishing his conversation with Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, Ito Hirofumi placed his hand directly onto the chest filled with silver.

"System!!! I want to top up!!!"

[Five hundred million silver detected! Would you like to deposit the full amount?]

"Yes!!!"

[Deposit successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining five hundred million Wealth Points!]

Summoning System
Host: Ito Hirofumi
Wealth Points: 500,000,000
White Summoning: 0
Green Summoning: 0
Blue Summoning: 0
Purple Summoning: 0
Golden Summoning: 0

"System! Use my five hundred million Wealth Points to exchange for five Golden Summoning attempts!!!"

[Congratulations to the host for a successful exchange! Golden Summoning count increased by five!]

At that moment, Ito Hirofumi watched as the five hundred million Wealth Points he had just acquired vanished from his panel, while the number next to Golden Summoning changed from zero to five!

This meant he could now summon five Kage-level powerhouses...

Meanwhile, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto stared with wide eyes!

"Money... so much money... it disappeared!!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto shouted in disbelief while lifting the chest and shaking it vigorously, but there truly wasn't a single piece of silver left inside!!!
