Sasuke's Chest Series

In Shimura Danzō's mind, Itachi Uchiha, who had slaughtered his entire clan for Konoha, could not be considered one of his own.

Not to mention the Akatsuki Organization.

Playing the wolf against the tiger was Danzo's specialty.

He had already eliminated quite a few powerful people.

Shen Mo had no idea how Konoha would react, but even if he knew, it would not matter.

After all, there were only two things he needed to do.

Ensure his own strength and display it.

Only then would he have the qualifications to say that harmony brings wealth.

Right now, what Shen Mo cared about most was how much money Sasuke had.

He followed Sasuke all the way to the Uchiha Clan's compound. It was utterly silent and deserted. The weeds on the ground, the dilapidated houses, and the dark marks on the wooden walls all silently recounted the tragedy of the Uchiha Clan.

Looking at Sasuke's frail figure,

Shen Mo suddenly felt a trace of empathy that he had never experienced while watching the anime.

Expecting him to face everything with the same optimism and cheerfulness as Naruto was simply asking too much.

"Come this way."

Sasuke cleared away all the spiderwebs in front of the house before pushing open the door. It was clear that he had not returned here in a long time.

Shen Mo had no idea where the money had been hidden to keep it from being stolen.

But he soon found out.

A secret chamber.

It was not accessed from inside the house, but from the courtyard, through a special seal concealing a secret chamber dozens of meters underground.

Shen Mo even saw a few weapons.

It seemed this had once been one of the Uchiha Clan's supply depots for their planned rebellion against Konoha.

This was an unexpected bonus.

He had thought Konoha would have already looted everything.

"We're here. Everything is in here." Sasuke turned around and showed Shen Mo everything in front of him, asking expectantly, "How much would it be worth?"

Shen Mo swept his gaze over it all.

There were two chests of precious metals and jewels that could serve as hard currency. There was also a pile of ninjutsu scrolls, two chests of weapons, and a small amount of money.

Altogether—twelve million Trading Points!

As expected of the Uchiha Clan. Even this remnant alone was nearly worth the combined wealth of the richest family in an entire town!

"About two hundred million." Shen Mo told Sasuke the converted amount.

Sasuke's eyes lit up instantly.

Although he had guessed there would be quite a lot, he had not expected this much!

"The most valuable things are these ninjutsu scrolls." Shen Yun pointed at the pile over there. "They contain insights written by the powerful members of your Uchiha Clan. You haven't even read some of them, have you? That also increases their value invisibly."

Ninjas might not be as wealthy as ordinary merchants.

But in Shen Mo's eyes, their net worth was no lower.

The reason was their skills.

The exchange value of currency in the system could fluctuate with the economic conditions of the current world, but practical things such as abilities and knowledge were hard currency.

"Then exchange all of it!" Sasuke said without hesitation, each word firm. "I want to open chests!"

He had already read nearly all the scrolls that he could use and whose attributes suited him.

Although they were family heirlooms,

Compared to actual strength, they were insignificant!

"As you wish." Shen Mo smiled, but he did not immediately initiate the trade. Instead, he looked at Sasuke. "So, have you decided which series of chests you want to open?"

Among the images he had just transmitted to Sasuke, every type contained a series of chests.

Abilities from other worlds

could likewise be used in this world once brought out through the system.

"No." Unexpectedly, Sasuke shook his head. Then he gave Shen Mo a deep look and said, "You choose for me."

"Hmm?" Shen Mo was somewhat surprised.

"I don't know which ability is the strongest, or whether it can help me get revenge, but you should know." Sasuke struggled to suppress the impatience in his heart.

Although he wanted nothing more than to open the chests immediately, become stronger, and find that man for revenge,

he did not know how to choose.

In those images, every kind of power had looked so formidable. Anyone who reached the pinnacle could take revenge with ease. Yet he wanted to be faster, better, and stronger!

He wanted the advice of the powerful person standing before him.

"Since the customer trusts me so much," Shen Mo said with a faint smile, "I will naturally provide better service. Let me ask you this: what is the most outstanding aspect of the person you want revenge on?"

"The most outstanding aspect?" Sasuke seemed stumped.

"Since your goal is revenge, and you want the best results at the smallest cost, you naturally need to tailor your choice to your opponent." Shen Mo patiently explained, "For example, if your opponent excels at close combat, I would recommend a path with strong mobility and powerful ranged attacks. Of course, that's just an example."

Sasuke understood. As a ninja, he naturally knew about countering an opponent through battle tactics.

But he did not know.

When he thought about it, that man seemed to have no weaknesses!

In every aspect, that man was outstanding.

Sasuke had always focused only on becoming stronger and taking revenge. He had never really considered the details. After all, his strength was still far from sufficient to think about such issues.

But now that he examined the matter closely, it was terrifying.

The man was practically flawless.

Taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu—

"I understand." Shen Mo secretly chuckled. "It seems he's quite well-rounded."

Of course, he knew Itachi's strength. Other than his endurance, which was not particularly strong because of his illness, he practically had no weaknesses. That man's character was that of a genius who excelled at everything he learned.

In that case,

he had a reason to recommend a more profitable path.

"Swordsmanship—" Shen Mo slowly spoke these two words. "This is the way of killing, and the most suitable path for revenge. The truly powerful can even break ten thousand techniques with a single sword. No matter what methods you possess, I can break them with one strike. You have just seen the scenes of powerful swordsmen as well."

Sasuke's eyes lit up.

He recalled the scenes from earlier.

With one sword, they split the heavens, shattered the earth, and left no one able to face their edge.

"Can a sword break ninjutsu?"

"Easily." Shen Mo's tone was firm and decisive.

"What about genjutsu?"

"Even inner demons can be cut down. What can a mere genjutsu amount to?" Shen Mo said while holding Hikari, as though it were only natural.

"Good!" Sasuke clenched his fists, as if he had already seen himself standing before that man with a sword in hand. His body trembled with excitement once more. "I choose Swordsmanship! Give me chests!"

He could hardly wait.

"Of course." Shen Mo smiled and waved his hand. Two hundred Level 1 Chests appeared on the ground.

Swordsmanship was powerful, but to reach the level where one could break ten thousand techniques with a sword,

it was expensive too.

This book will be recommended starting tomorrow, and updates will begin at a fixed time. I spent today preparing chapters and have already uninstalled my games (_).
