Preparing to Upgrade Affixes

Shimura Danzō was jointly impeached by the Jonin on the front lines.

This intelligence detonated within Konoha.

Information that explosive meant it could no longer be concealed from the spies hidden throughout the village.

Consequently, all related information was transmitted to the desks of the major ninja villages.

"Uchiha? A Mangekyō Sharingan at ten-something years old? Wiped out a team of Jonin led by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?!" Ōnoki flipped through the report, feeling a sense of foreboding.

He had always kept the memory of how he and his teacher were crushed by the power of Uchiha Madara back in the day firmly in his heart.

It had been so difficult for the Uchiha to remain dormant for decades, without producing any decent figures to stir up trouble in the Ninja World.

He had almost forgotten that history.

Yet suddenly, this intelligence emerged.

It made him feel somewhat wounded.

Judging from the report, this Uchiha Yuzhen was already fully fledged, his combat power established.

He could be considered an existence who had fully realized his talent.

Thinking of this, Ōnoki continued to flip through the intelligence:

"Flying Thunder God... Mangekyō... around thirteen years old..."

Bang--!

"A combination of Senju techniques and Uchiha bloodline power? Where did this freak come from!!"

Ōnoki was truly feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

He had originally intended, even if the kid's combat power was considerable, to exploit his lack of experience given his age.

He wanted to make a move and see if he could eliminate this threat.

Who would have known...

He actually knew the Flying Thunder God?!

"Absurd! Simply absurd! If this brat develops for a few more years and reaches the level of Uchiha Madara, what path to survival will we have left?" The furious Ōnoki stood up abruptly from his chair.

Just as he wanted to continue slamming the table to vent his frustration.

Snap--!

"Ouch~! Someone come help this old man, I... I threw out my back."

Setting aside Ōnoki's chronic ailment.

Within Kumogakure, the AB Duo also received this intelligence.

"Big Brother... this Uchiha Yuzhen is truly impressive." Killer B marveled at Uchiha Yuzhen's battle record.

He was just that kind of optimist.

Whenever a genius appeared in an enemy village, as long as he found their battle record impressive, he would praise them directly.

"Hmph! B... stop praising him; this guy is a student of Namikaze Minato." A, as the elder brother, snorted coldly: "This Uchiha brat has actually awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. If we encounter him on the battlefield in the future, just kill him outright!"

The Mangekyō Sharingan—that kind of power.

Other ninja villages might not be clear about it.

But Kumogakure was very clear indeed!

The reason was simple...

Their Kumogakure and the Uchiha were direct competitors within the Land of Lightning.

The lucrative job of guarding the Chinoike Clan had always been held firmly in the hands of the Uchiha.

When Kumogakure was first established, they had wanted to take over this lucrative position.

Who would have known, they were beaten until they were missing teeth by the Uchiha in their prime.

Consequently, the records of the Mangekyō within Kumogakure were not lacking in the slightest.

This Uchiha Yuzhen, at such an age and with such strength.

He must absolutely not be allowed to continue developing.

Nowadays, the village predicted that a Ninja World War was inevitable.

If they encountered him in the future, he would definitely slaughter this brat!

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, the total annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was already a thing of the past, a month ago.

At this very moment.

In a quiet forest within the Land of Fire.

Uchiha Yuzhen sat cross-legged.

He was currently on his way back to Konoha alone, and feeling a bit tired, he had stopped here to rest for a while.

He was very satisfied with his current situation.

Everything had gone exactly as he expected.

After Danzo was impeached, the Third Hokage had stripped him of his position as the leader of Root.

What followed was the appeasement directed at him.

There was nothing much to say about it.

He had been promoted to Jonin, and the corresponding monetary compensation had been provided in full.

There were follow-up rewards of either ninjutsu or special ninja tools, but he could only choose one.

Regarding this, he had already made up his mind.

As for ninjutsu, the village wouldn't teach him Impure World Reincarnation even if he wanted to learn it, and other ninjutsu weren't of much use to him.

Within the Uchiha clan, there was no shortage of such ninjutsu resources.

He wanted to go back and take the Second Hokage's special ninja tool—the Thunder God Sword.

He wanted to see if he could obtain an Affix from it.

That's right, he had his eyes on the Affixes of ninja tools.

This brought to mind his gains from this mission.

"I didn't expect that weapon Affixes, which cannot be applied to people, could actually be used like this!" Uchiha Yuzhen exclaimed with great emotion.

Not long ago...

When he was sealing the weapons of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen into scrolls.

Upon touching them, he had acquired their corresponding Affixes.

Among those Affixes, some were quite useful.

For instance...

[Chakra Absorption and Integration (Blue)]: Any weapon equipped with this Affix will develop a craving for the corresponding chakra!
Effect:
 chakra to nourish the wielder.
 of the weapon developing a spirit.

[Thunderbolt Attachment (Blue)]: After equipping this Affix, your weapon will be coiled in lightning.
Effect:
 attribute affinity.
 Summoning—Inject chakra to trigger and generate lightning.

[Chakra Mimicry (Blue)]: After equipping this Affix, the weapon gains the power of transformation.
Effect:
 chakra to enlarge the weapon.
 a concentration of chakra after injection to gain powerful destructive force.

These three were the Affixes for Samehada, Kiba, and Hiramekarei, respectively.

They were all very useful, and he planned to install them onto his own katana shortly.

As for the other three...

The Affixes for Shibuki, Nuibari, and Kabutowari were useless.

The descriptions for those Affixes indicated that they required corresponding mechanisms to be installed.

For someone like him who only wanted to use a katana, they had no value whatsoever.

At the time, he had been quite speechless, wondering what to do with the Affixes of these weapons he had no intention of using.

He couldn't equip them on himself, and he didn't want to use mechanical weapons.

Just then, as if sensing his headache.

The system made a change and provided a prompt.

The prompt explained that in the future, any weapon or tool Affixes he couldn't use...

All of them could be converted into corresponding Combat Points.

Without a second thought, he immediately converted those three Affixes into Combat Points.

There was nothing more to say.

A blue Affix corresponded to 100 Combat Points.

On the spot, he had reaped three hundred Combat Points.

As of now, his Combat Points...

Added to the defeat of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and five Root ninjas, twelve Jonin-level enemies in total.

One hundred points each, totaling 1,200 points.

And then there was the biggest catch, the special envoy White Zetsu, Tobi...

Not yet enhanced by Yamato, he was indeed not as strong as he appeared in the Fourth Great Ninja War of the original timeline.

But he still possessed the strength of a bottom-tier Kage at the very least.

And the reward for defeating this Kage-level powerhouse was a direct gain of 1,000 points.

Thus, after that battle.

He had gained a total of 2,500 Combat Points.

"Now, let me see which Affixes need to be strengthened!"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yuzhen's thoughts turned toward the panel.

Host: Uchiha Yuzhen Gender: Male Age: Twelve Strength: Kage Affixes: [Child of Time and Space (Gold)], [Genius (Gold)], [Phantom Fate (Gold)]. [Uchiha (Purple)], [Steel Training (Purple)], [Mangekyō Sharingan (Purple)], [Senju of the Forest (Blue)], [Uchiha Style (Blue)], [Natural Energy Affinity (Blue)], [Flying Thunder God Technique Formula (Blue)], [Medical Genius (Blue)], [Chakra Seed (Blue)]. Special Affixes: [Thunderbolt Attachment (Blue)], [Chakra Mimicry (Blue)], [Chakra Absorption and Integration (Blue)]. Combat Points: 2570

"Hmm? The system is quite intelligent; it actually separated the weapon or tool Affixes and categorized them under Special Affixes."

"However, that is not the important part..."

Yuzhen's thoughts churned in his mind; with over 2,500 Combat Points.

He had already decided.

Where he was going to spend them!
