Garuda's flying speed was significantly faster during the day.
Mikoto and Uchiha Fucheng returned to the Stardew Valley Ranch in the Land of Fire in just over two hours.
This time, Uchiha Fucheng also planned to settle the Pikachu group rewards in the Stardew Valley breeding base while he was at it.
These naturally lively Electric-type Pokémon were quite picky about their living environment.
They needed an environment with vast fruit tree forests, hilly grasslands, and forest valleys to happily breed the next generation.
And Stardew Valley had suitable locations with this type of terrain.
After settling the hundreds of Pikachu, Uchiha Fucheng also arranged for double the number of Uchiha Ninjas to look after them.
The Pikachu Pokémon eggs also needed to be hatched in an orderly manner.
As long as everything went smoothly, a sizable Pikachu clan could be formed within a year or two.
With Uchiha Clan members taking over one after another, Uchiha Fucheng was finally able to free up his hands to begin his other task.
It was as if he were playing a "sandbox open-world" game; he appeared to be wandering around Stardew Valley, but in reality, he was searching for young Ninjas with familiar names and attempting to converse with them.
In Stardew Valley, he found many future Ninjas who were "quite famous" in his memories.
It wasn't just Konoha celebrities like Aoba Yamashiro who appeared repeatedly.
More importantly, there were the parents and relatives of the future Konoha 12.
He tried to approach these "little brats" in the hope of finding a simpler way to interact and gain opportunities to change the trajectories of their fates.
Fortunately, these children had no guard against this "excessively young" Uchiha Clan leader.
On the contrary, because Uchiha Fucheng had repeatedly touted himself in the Konoha newspapers, many children regarded Uchiha Fucheng as their Ninja idol.
The children were all brimming with enthusiasm, giving off the feeling of little fanboys chasing a celebrity.
In the end, because Aoba Yamashiro agreed to pass a message to his family and accepted a mutated Ninja Crow personally gifted by Uchiha Fucheng, Uchiha Fucheng was rewarded with his first fate dice.
[Change the fate trajectory of Aoba Yamashiro]
With this first success, Uchiha Fucheng's luck suddenly took a turn for the better.
First, he encountered Hyuga Hanachi, who was pestering "Sanjunmaru".
Under Uchiha Fucheng's persuasion, the Ninja CatSanjunmaru reluctantly agreed to the suggestion of becoming Hyuga Hanachi's summoning animal.
In reality, Uchiha Fucheng had secretly promised Sanjunmaru using genjutsu, "As long as Sanjunmaru agrees to the little girl's summoning contract, he can gift the Ninja Cat clan a large piece of high-quality flower field planted with catnip."
Catnip, oh!
Sanjunmaru seemed to have been pinched at a weak spot; it hesitated for less than a second before agreeing.
Uchiha Fucheng's promise made Sanjunmaru feel like it had made a huge profit!
It pretended to be very reserved on the surface, only agreeing to allow Hyuga Hanachi to summon it three times a month, and tsundere-ly postured, "If it's any more than that, I will have to refuse Hyuga Hanachi's summoning."
Unexpectedly, the quiet girl who looked just like Hanabi agreed without hesitation.
"Of course that's fine, three times a month is three times. When I prepare a full-fish feast at home, I'll invite you, Mimi, to come and eat!"
Hyuga Hanachi's originally exceptionally quiet personality, for some reason, became exceptionally lively in front of Sanjunmaru.
She revealed her entire nature as the "Big Miss Hyuga the Big Spender".
Uchiha Fucheng laughed out loud and patted the greedy Sanjunmaru.
"Sanjunmaru, you rascal, you're in for a treat. The Hyuga Clan is a wealthy family; they will definitely be able to feed you, a rare glutton among the Ninja Cat clan."
As Sanjunmaru and Hyuga Hanachi signed the summoning contract, Uchiha Fucheng also received a reward notification.
[Change the fate trajectory of Hyuga Hanabi]
"Nani?" Uchiha Fucheng felt very strange and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Why is there only a reward for Hyuga Hanabi? Even if the fate of a future descendant was changed, shouldn't it also trigger a reward for Hyuga Hinata?"
Uchiha Fucheng muttered to himself, "Could it be? Is this Hyuga HanachiHinata's stepmother from a second marriage? Or is Hanabi born from a second marriage? Her age doesn't match up, though."
Uchiha Fucheng looked at Sanjunmaru with ill intentions, secretly gossiping.
"Could this be that lazy cat's fault? Did it do something special in the future when Hiashi was planning for a second child?"
However, having a fate reward for Hyuga Hanabi was better than nothing.
He would have new gains as he made contact slowly in the future; the Hyuga Clan had many important characters.
Unfortunately, although Uchiha Fucheng later contacted many "young Ninjas" with familiar names, only Inuzuka Tsume provided a reward again.
[Change the fate trajectory of Inuzuka Tsume]
[Reward: Inuzuka Tsume's fate dice]
"A bit too little, is that it? Only Tsume's? What about Kiba's?" Uchiha Fucheng stared blankly at Inuzuka Tsume, who was missing two baby teeth and giggling silly in front of him.
"Why are there no rewards for her daughter Inuzuka Hana or her son Inuzuka Kiba? This dog loli isn't pulling her weight!"
The expectant Uchiha Fucheng waited for a few more seconds, but finding no rewards for those two, he had to give up helplessly.
It seemed that this gap-toothed loli, who carried a dog everywhere she went, did not yet have life changes that involved the fates of her future children.
Inuzuka Tsume asked happily while gnawing on a tomahawk steak, "Hey, hey, can this discount card you gave me really get me a 20% discount on the commercial street?"
Uchiha Fucheng shook his head helplessly, "What are you listening to? It's that Uchiha Clan shops all offer a 20% discount. See the clan emblem on me? Shops with this mark all have a 20% discount. Pretty impressive, right?"
Inuzuka Tsume gave a thumbs up, nodding in praise to play along, "Big Brother Fucheng is amazing. Don't worry, my promise stands. I will gift you an excellent little Ninja dog from the Inuzuka Clan. I keep my word."
Facing Inuzuka Tsume's generosity, Uchiha Fucheng served this person and dog another large steak.
"This little girl from the Inuzuka Clan is quite something; her appetite is almost catching up to that Hyuga Hanachi from the Hyuga Clan."
After walking around for a large circle, Uchiha Fucheng felt exhausted, even more so than after fighting a battle with Kakuzu.
These children, whether they were the little ones from the Uchiha Clan or little friends from other Ninja clans, all had various strange questions.
The slightly older children were fine, as Uchiha Fucheng himself wasn't too old. At sixteen or seventeen, he was just about the same age as these children's older brothers and sisters.
Moreover, these eleven or twelve-year-olds who were about to graduate were quite good at being reserved and restrained.
But those seven or eight-year-olds, or even four or five-year-old little sprouts, didn't care about the face of the Uchiha Clan leader at all, and all sorts of bizarre questions came one after another.
"Big Brother, are you married?"
"Clan Leader Fucheng, show us your Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Clan Leader Fucheng, can you give me a Ninja Cat?"
"My sister is super pretty, do you want to marry my sister?"
Fortunately, Uchiha Mikoto came to the rescue in time, which allowed Uchiha Fucheng to escape the "king of children" style Q&A.
Chatting and granting wishes to the children was a bit of a hassle for Uchiha Fucheng, but the three fate rewards were solid gains.
Aoba Yamashiro, Hyuga Hanabi, and Inuzuka Tsume were all Ninjas who didn't appear too often in the original timeline but had decent popularity and discussion value.
For the first fate dice, Uchiha Fucheng chose Aoba Yamashiro.
"I'd like to see what kind of surprise this 'youthful mini-version of a suspected Shisui' can bring me!"
