Yajirobe Descends

Only the Third Hokage remained in the Hokage's office. Before long, a pitch-black crow flew in through the shattered window.

The crow spat out a scroll, glanced at the bloodstains on the floor, and then flew away.

"Itachi, you really are deeply scheming!" The Third Hokage watched the crow fly away. He was unsure when it had arrived or whether it had seen Uchiha Sasuke being attacked.

He picked up the scroll the crow had spat out and sighed.

He had to protect Uchiha Sasuke well. He was the best bargaining chip for controlling Uchiha Itachi!

He opened the scroll, and a portrait appeared on it.

It was unmistakably a portrait of Uchiha Feng.

"Even Uchiha Itachi has no information on those people? But why does he believe this is the true Uchiha survivor?"

The Third Hokage carefully analyzed the information in his hand.

Itachi claimed he had no impression of any of the people recorded on it, and their appearances had all been abrupt.

Only at the end, after Itachi carefully recalled the Uchiha Clan members he had slaughtered, did he remember one fish that had slipped through the net—Uchiha Feng!

He had a deep impression of every Uchiha Clan member he had killed.

"Is it bait, or is it real?" The Third Hokage no longer trusted Itachi completely. He also had some doubts about the information Itachi had provided.

The capital of the Land of Iron.

Within a forest, Uchiha Feng was training.

Beside him, a crude smoking furnace was billowing thick black smoke.

A wooden sword hung diagonally at his waist. With a step forward, his body moved at high speed.

Swish—

Sharp sword qi radiated from the wooden blade.

A tree that had grown for over a decade was cleanly severed before him, its cut perfectly smooth.

"Hiss... Hoo..."

A sharp pain surged through his mind as Dumpling's clone memories merged into him.

Uchiha Feng exhaled a breath of stale air.

He began receiving those memories, and after reviewing them, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Dumpling really is adorably naive!"

Dumpling's actions lacked every bit of the Crane Hermit School's ruthlessness. Attacking in broad daylight and actually carrying out his orders was not something worth encouraging.

When dealing with shameless people, you could only be even more shameless than them if you wanted to win.

Thinking back to Dumpling and Krillin's clash at the World Martial Arts Tournament, Dumpling's behavior was not difficult to understand.

Only then did Uchiha Feng realize that Dumpling's intelligence was still not very high. It seemed he needed to draw Tien soon, so Dumpling could be better protected.

Tap, tap, tap—

Yajirobe's plump body appeared before Uchiha Feng.

Seeing what he looked like now, black lines formed across Uchiha Feng's forehead.

Yajirobe's katana hung at his waist, but he carried a long wooden pole over his shoulder. Ninja Cat corpses were strung across it, some of them even displaying human traits. At a rough glance, there were forty or fifty of them.

Yajirobe ran to the crude smoking furnace and carefully removed the smoked meat, replacing it with fresh Ninja Cats.

Seeing the huge tree Uchiha Feng had cut down, he drew the katana at his waist.

"Perfect for firewood."

Swish—

Swish—

Swish—

Blade flashes flickered as the tree trunk turned into neat lengths of firewood.

Uchiha Feng was somewhat speechless as he watched Yajirobe.

This was already the third batch. Yajirobe truly spared no effort when it came to food.

"13,241 points."

He checked his soul points in his mind. They had already exceeded ten thousand.

These were all Yajirobe's gains during this period, while Dumpling had gained nothing.

However, Uchiha Feng had been very satisfied with the moment Dumpling slammed his head into Uchiha Sasuke's face. He even hoped there would be a few more of those.

"Yajirobe, release the clone technique! I'll descend into your body."

Uchiha Feng beckoned to Yajirobe.

Yajirobe's plump body began to tremble, and light shone from his tiny eyes.

"Watch the heat for me. Don't let it smoke too long. I can finally taste the food I made!"

What Yajirobe cared about most was his meat, and tears glimmered in his small eyes.

"Hurry up!"

Uchiha Feng was speechless. During this period, he had not only witnessed Yajirobe's foodie nature, but also his chatterbox tendencies.

Poof—

The clone was released.

Another stream of memories entered Uchiha Feng's mind. His head felt swollen and uncomfortable.

Now he understood why the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique had been classified as a forbidden technique. If one endured too many memories and sensations like these, their mind would collapse.

This further strengthened his resolve to give the card characters physical bodies.

Uchiha Feng began receiving Yajirobe's memories.

Yajirobe's memories consisted of endlessly indulging his foodie instincts and constantly hunting Ninja Cats.

The combination of his lucky talent and ability to suppress his aura.

He could always follow one Ninja Cat to find a group of them, and that group would become Yajirobe's reserve food supply.

"Was it really this smooth?"

Uchiha Feng's expression was strange. Yajirobe's experiences had gone far too smoothly!

The Ninja Cat Clan had even withdrawn and gathered together, allowing him to discover their main base.

His consciousness settled on Yajirobe's card as he prepared to descend a physical body.

Card: Yajirobe [Yajirobe]

Level: Three Stars [Upgradeable]

Evaluation: A tank-built Yasuo, with both potential and strength breaking their limits. Lucky buff!

Abilities: Quick Draw [Core Principle] One-hit kill!

Instinctive martial arts!

Aura sensing!

Uchiha Feng's gaze sharpened as he noticed that Yajirobe, originally supposed to be a two-star card character, had actually upgraded himself into a three-star card character?

After a brief thought, he decided it was a good thing.

"Begin!"

Uchiha Feng issued the command to descend.

Rays of rainbow light shone from Yajirobe's card, while a green divine dragon let out a dragon's roar.

A rainbow light appeared before him, and Yajirobe's figure gradually solidified.

Uchiha Feng was somewhat surprised. This scene was somewhat similar to drawing a card, but far more magnificent.

Tap, tap, tap—

The newly descended Yajirobe immediately ran off.

Uchiha Feng watched him while checking the changes to his panel. Of his cards, only Dumpling remained, while Yajirobe had become Descended.

His future clones would also no longer have Yajirobe's will empowering them.

But he could still borrow Yajirobe's abilities.

Yajirobe's actions snapped him out of it. What was he going to do?

For a moment, Uchiha Feng had even thought Yajirobe had broken free from the card's control.

But what happened next left Uchiha Feng sweating awkwardly.

Yajirobe had already crouched beside the smoking furnace and begun devouring the previously smoked meat in huge mouthfuls.

He even let out cries of praise.

"My skills really haven't declined. It's just a pity there isn't any wine. Back at Korin Tower, Korin wouldn't let me eat like this. Now he finally can't stop me!"

"Urgh—"

Seeing Yajirobe swallow an entire Ninja Cat and spit out nothing but bones, Uchiha Feng felt nauseous and dry-heaved.

Korin's image surfaced in his mind. He seemed to be a white cat.

Yajirobe had really been holding that grudge in for a long time!
