Go Meet the Hokage

The person calling him was Obito.

Teacher Minato, Kakashi, and Rin were sitting across from him.

However, none of this was what surprised Uchiha Yuzhen.

What truly caught him off guard were the two people beside Obito.

One of them, sitting next to Obito and directly across from Kakashi, was highly recognizable.

That bowl cut and that tight-fitting bodysuit—it was definitely Guy, no doubt about it.

The other one was quite interesting...

It was a young child, about three or four years old.

With that iconic "button nose" and the clan crest on his clothing that matched his own, could it be Uchiha Shisui?

Having recognized the two who were not part of Team Minato, Yuzhen approached the table.

After politely greeting everyone present, he smiled slightly at Obito:

"And who are these two?"

Hearing Uchiha Yuzhen's inquiry, Obito laughed heartily:

"Hahahaha, this little brother is my relative, also from the Uchiha clan, named Shisui."

"His parents went out on a mission today, and since there was no one at home, I brought him along to have barbecue with us."

As he spoke, he patted Shisui on the shoulder: "This is the Yuzhen brother I've told you about."

Uchiha Shisui's gaze turned toward Yuzhen.

For some time now, he had been hearing his cousin Obito talk about this Uchiha Yuzhen every single day.

Things like how his speed of growth after awakening the Sharingan was unfathomable, that he was a genius, a monster, and so on...

In short, Shisui could sense that his cousin Obito seemed to have a bit of a worshipful attitude toward this person!

Influenced by his cousin Uchiha Obito, he naturally felt curious about Yuzhen.

However, since they had just met, he didn't feel it was appropriate to start asking questions right away.

Even at his young age, the naturally sensitive Shisui understood this much.

He bowed politely to Yuzhen:

"Nice to meet you, Brother Yuzhen. Please take care of me in the future."

Uchiha Yuzhen smiled, walked over to Shisui's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

"No need for such formalities. Once you enter the Ninja Academy, feel free to come and ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

"Okay, Brother Yuzhen!"

Seeing Shisui sit back down, Uchiha Yuzhen suppressed the excitement in his heart and prepared to greet Guy as well.

It was too good!

The moment he touched Shisui, a golden light from an Affix surged into his eyes.

Without hesitation, he immediately commanded the system to extract it.

[Phantom Fate (Gold)]: Your destiny will lead you... to become the strongest Genjutsu user in this world!

Effect: Genjutsu effects receive Super-Domain Amplification!

The moment he saw this Affix, it was impossible for Yuzhen not to be excited.

Regarding the qualifications of a ninja, regardless of the messy evaluations on a ninja identification card, they could generally be summarized by three points.

Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu!

For the current Uchiha Yuzhen, Ninjutsu and Taijutsu...

It was already enough!

However, Genjutsu had always been a point of frustration for him.

His Genjutsu, even with the amplification of the Sharingan, looked decent at a glance, but upon closer inspection, it was as mediocre as could be.

His level of Genjutsu was fine when paired with Uchiha Style Nintaijutsu.

But to use it alone against a ninja of equal standing...

Even with the Sharingan's boost, it was somewhat lacking.

It was roughly the same as Sasuke Uchiha; when facing a ninja of the same level, he basically couldn't even deploy his Genjutsu.

Now, with the Super-Domain Amplification from this Affix, his Genjutsu level would be greatly enhanced.

These thoughts and reflections passed through his sea of consciousness in a split second.

In reality.

Seeing that Shisui and Uchiha Yuzhen knew each other.

Obito pulled the somewhat reserved Might Guy to the side.

He explained to Uchiha Yuzhen:

"This is our classmate, Might Guy, who is in the same year as me, Rin, and Kakashi."

Obito didn't care about many people at the academy.

Rin and Kakashi went without saying.

Among their peers, Might Guy was a 'dead last' just like him, and both had a good relationship with Kakashi.

Naturally, they were quite close.

This time, when he and Kakashi ran into Guy all alone on the street, they didn't hesitate to invite him over.

After all, everyone in Team Minato was an acquaintance.

Facing the reserved Guy, Uchiha Yuzhen reached out his hand directly.

With a warm expression, he said:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Guy-kun..."

Seeing how amiable Uchiha Yuzhen was, Might Guy finally felt a sense of relief.

His furrowed brows relaxed.

He hurriedly shook Uchiha Yuzhen's hand.

He responded somewhat flusteredly:

"I'm very happy to meet you too!"

Regarding this unfamiliar Uchiha, Guy didn't have any particular thoughts at the moment.

At this stage, he was still being mocked by others for only being able to use Taijutsu.

His personality was slightly introverted.

Aside from Kakashi and Kakashi's circle of friends, he basically had no other friends he cared about.

Uchiha Yuzhen didn't mind Guy's mindset.

He only cared about obtaining an Affix.

The moment their hands touched, a cyan-purple light of an Affix appeared.

This left Uchiha Yuzhen somewhat disappointed.

Might Guy...

This powerhouse who would later nearly kick Madara to death—did he really not have a gold Affix?

However, Uchiha Yuzhen's thoughts shifted rapidly, and he immediately realized why.

Guy was undeniably strong, that was true.

But one could not overlook the effort he put into his daily physical training.

And the unique nature of the Eight Inner Gates technique.

Thinking of this, he focused his mind, and the system directly extracted that purple Affix.

[Steel Training (Purple)]: A belief in hard work will turn the body into steel.
Effect: Persistent training will enhance physical constitution.

This Affix is quite special.

It is not an Affix that takes effect immediately.

It is an Affix that focuses on long-term gains!

Judging from the explanation, it roughly means that the more one trains their body, the more the body will be enhanced.

A fantastic Affix.

In this world of high attack and low defense, if one were to train their body to the extreme—

I am not talking about the bodies found in fantasy worlds or anything like that.

Even if I only reach the physical constitution of someone from the world of One Piece, it would be a tremendous enhancement for Yuzhen.

As Yuzhen and Guy separated their hands and sat down, the atmosphere at the scene increasingly shifted toward that of a banquet.

With everyone eating and drinking happily, the gathering finally drew to a close after Minato distributed the mission rewards.

In front of the Yakiniku Restaurant.

Just as everyone was dispersing, Minato called out to Yuzhen:

"Yuzhen, come with me to meet the Hokage tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzhen turned his head, looking somewhat surprised.

"I am to meet the Hokage?"

"That's right! Because of the Kubikiribōchō you presented, as well as your performance during this mission... the Hokage has decided to reward you!"

Hearing this, Yuzhen suddenly realized.

That's right, he had presented one of the Mist Ninja's signature Ninja Blades to the village.

He had also defeated Biwa Juzo during this mission.

No matter what, the village would not treat him unfairly.

After all, if they truly did treat him poorly, everyone in Konoha would see it.

If that happened, it would truly dishearten everyone.

It would make the team very difficult to lead.

"Understood, Teacher Minato. I will go with you to meet the Hokage tomorrow morning."
