The Daily Lives of the Senju Overbearing CEO and the Uchiha Innocent Little Sister

After discussing matters with the daimyo, Uchiha Yan did not hurry straight back. He took the opportunity to visit the Fire Temple.

In the original story, Chiriku of the Twelve Guardian Ninja was the head priest of the Fire Temple. One of Chiriku's techniques was called "Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder." It looked like a miniature version of True Several Thousand Hands. Once activated, a Thousand-Armed Kannon manifested behind him, combining offense and defense. When attacked, it shifted into the dharma form of Acala. When Chiriku had faced the joint assault of Kakuzu and Hidan, he had forcibly repelled one wave of attacks with this technique. Though he was later killed, for Chiriku, a mere jonin, to achieve that much proved that this technique was far from simple.

The Fire Temple stood within a stretch of woodland in the eastern outskirts of the Fire Capital.

Uchiha Yan did not conceal his identity. His distinctive Uchiha kill-mat hairstyle and the Konoha forehead protector he wore were enough for anyone to recognize where he came from.

As he entered the temple, a middle-aged monk came forward to greet him.

"An honored guest from the Uchiha Clan has come from afar. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Head Priest, please forgive my presumptuous visit and intrusion."

The head priest of the Fire Temple was named Zhongjue. The Uchiha had a fearsome reputation, so Zhongjue did not dare say much. He had no desire to meet the Buddha so soon.

"I heard that your temple possesses a ninjutsu called Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder." Uchiha Yan went straight to the point. "I came specifically to see it. Would you be willing to accommodate me, Master?"

Master Zhongjue shook his head. "This temple has no such ninjutsu as the one you mentioned—Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder. You must have heard incorrectly, honored guest."

In the original story, Master Zhongjue, as Chiriku's teacher, indeed did not know this technique. But there was no way he did not know of Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder. With its Thousand-Armed Kannon and Acala forms, it was clearly a product of Buddhist teachings combined with ninjutsu.

Moreover, Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder was a secret ultimate technique passed down exclusively within the Fire Temple. This monk Zhongjue was not being honest.

Uchiha Yan did not waste any more words with him.

He directly activated his Sharingan. Since he could not get it by asking, he would take it himself. Wouldn't it have been better to give it willingly? Why force him to get rough?

Master Zhongjue was Chiriku's academic instructor and did not even possess jonin-level strength. In an instant, he was controlled by genjutsu.

Uchiha Yan learned the scroll's location from him and smoothly obtained the ninjutsu scroll recording Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder. He flipped through it and found that the technique's principles, hand seals, and chakra circulation route were all recorded in full detail. After making a copy, Uchiha Yan returned the scroll to its original place.

The Sharingan was truly too useful. Just like earlier—if he had tried arguing with that monk Zhongjue, they could have wasted half the day. Now, it only took a single genjutsu.

After putting away the copied scroll, Uchiha Yan placed another genjutsu on Zhongjue, making him completely forget everything that had happened today.

Konoha Village, Konoha White Palace.

Uchiha Madara, the Hokage, and his best friend Senju Hashirama had gone all over the shinobi world to capture tailed beasts. Thanks to the Three Provinces and Six Ministries system, most government affairs had been distributed for processing. The only thing that truly required the Hokage personally was signing his name with a vermilion brush.

The moment Uchiha Yan entered the White Palace, he heard Senju Tobirama's rebuke.

"You can't even handle such a trivial matter properly. Why did Uchiha Yan send you here?"

"I truly don't know how Uchiha Yan made you his assistant."

"And you're even the Left Vice Minister of Revenue. Konoha is practically becoming a one-man Uchiha regime. The foreheads of Konoha's officials might as well have 'Uchiha' written on them. Absolutely infuriating."

Uchiha Yui had been appointed Left Vice Minister of Revenue by Uchiha Yan. One of her routine duties was specifically liaising with Senju Tobirama, the Chancellor of the Secretariat. Uchiha Yan had deliberately created opportunities for them—a small willful indulgence of his authority.

"Lord Tobirama, I'm truly sorry," Yui said cautiously. "I'll correct it immediately."

"Forget it. You should leave first. I'll handle the rest."

Though Senju Tobirama disliked the Uchiha, he would not take out his anger on a young Uchiha girl. Some time ago, he might have spoken too harshly and scolded her until she cried. Once girls started crying, Tobirama had no idea what to do.

"Thank you, Lord Tobirama," Yui said. "But I should stay and help."

Yui still remembered the task Uchiha Yan had given her—sleeping Senju Tobirama into submission. But she felt that task would never be possible. Lord Tobirama was always cold and distant, fiercely unapproachable, and especially hateful toward the Uchiha. She might have to disappoint Lord Yan's expectations.

"You got it wrong again."

Before long, Tobirama's roar came from the room once more.

Uchiha Yan stood outside and did not enter.

Although that old ghost Senju Tobirama had been getting angry the entire time, he had not driven Yui out. That was a good sign. Once Senju Tobirama gradually grew accustomed to having Yui around, Yan could use a few little tricks. There was no way Tobirama would not fall for it.

Heh heh heh, the domineering Senju CEO falling in love with an innocent Uchiha little sister—what explosive news. If Izuna found out, he would laugh at Tobirama for the rest of his life.

Uchiha Yan did not disturb them and turned to leave.

Uchiha Yan returned to his office and sent someone to summon Sarutobi Sasuke.

"Lord Yan, you summoned me?"

"During this trip to the Fire Capital, the daimyo increased his aid by two billion," Uchiha Yan said. "The daimyo will also establish shops on Konoha's Gourmet and Culture Street. Over this period, nobles from the Land of Fire will gradually move in as well."

"Prepare a proposal when the time comes and make sure Konoha is properly promoted," Uchiha Yan continued. "Attracting investment has always been a major priority for Konoha. This is our chance to show the Land of Fire and the shinobi world Konoha's image."

"Yes, Lord Yan." Sarutobi Sasuke nodded. "I'll get on it immediately."

After Sarutobi Sasuke left, Uchiha Yan shut the door, took out the scroll copied from the Fire Temple, and began studying it carefully.

In the original story, Chiriku had once passed Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder on to Sarutobi Asuma. As the Hokage's son, Sarutobi Asuma was simply too useless. Sarutobi Hiruzen had hoped Asuma would inherit his position as Hokage, yet he had run off to serve beside the daimyo as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.

Only after the Twelve Guardian Ninja existed in name only did he return to Konoha and continue working as a jonin. Even then, Sarutobi Hiruzen had not given up on him, assigning him students from the new generation of Boar-Deer-Butterfly. Unfortunately, trash was still trash. After all these years, he had failed to make any name for himself. At least Kakashi, the Fifty-Fifty, had earned himself the title of "Konoha's Number One Technician."

Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder activated fairly quickly. All it required was a specific hand gesture and chakra circulating along a fixed route, and a Thousand-Armed Kannon would emerge behind the user to attack. The technique's power depended on the caster's chakra. The more chakra they had, the larger the Kannon's body became, and the stronger its offense and defense would be.

Its only flaw was that the hand gesture could not change. In the original story, after Chiriku and Asuma formed the gesture, they basically stood still and had almost no spare capacity for other movements.

But for Uchiha Yan, that was not a problem at all.

He had Susanoo.

Once he activated Susanoo, he could cast Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder from inside it, pairing Susanoo with the Thousand-Armed Kannon.

That would be the Uchiha Clan's True Several Thousand Hands.

The more Uchiha Yan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Unfortunately, this technique consumed too much chakra. Without the Nine-Tails as a rechargeable battery, he simply could not afford to use it.
