After resting for a while, Ye Chen quickly recovered thanks to his powerful physical constitution.
"Now then, let's try the Darkness Passing Technique one last time."
Ye Chen stood up full of energy, formed hand seals, and used the Darkness Passing Technique.
However, it didn't do a damn thing... Genjutsu is meant to be used on a specific target. When Ye Chen used it against thin air, it was all for nothing.
According to the description of Genjutsu: Darkness Passing Technique,
after using this technique, any enemy hit by it will lose their vision.
It seems a bit like a blinding effect.
Of course, it has to be like Graves' Smoke Screen blind; Teemo's blind only makes the opponent's basic attacks miss.
"Shit, I'm an idiot."
Realizing he had done something stupid, Ye Chen felt a bit embarrassed.
With the experiments mostly finished, Ye Chen left the System Space.
The previous venting had calmed Ye Chen's excited mood.
Now, he lay on his small bed and began to think about his next plans.
Through these two quizzes, Ye Chen had made some changes to the original plot.
First: he had Minato Namikaze, Nara Shikaku, and Kakashi Hatake participate in the first quiz.
He informed the three of them about the upcoming 'Nine-Tails Attack,' allowing Konoha to obtain this information.
At the same time, it exposed Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito—those two big bosses from the original story—and the 'eye of the moon plan.'
To be honest, compared to the ironically filial Black Zetsu and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who had immense power but zero skill,
Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito were the only ones who truly had the caliber of a mastermind boss.
Between those two, one was so ridiculously strong it was inhuman,
and the other was just plain inhuman.
If it hadn't been for the plot-driven death at the end, where Black Zetsu was forced to take out Uchiha Madara to summon Ōtsutsuki Kaguya,
then those two, Naruto and Second Pillar, definitely wouldn't have been able to beat Uchiha Madara after he became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and transformed into a Sage.
They would have been pummeled into fools by Uchiha Madara.
Besides revealing those two, he also indirectly told Minato Namikaze and the others about the root of the trouble hidden in Konoha—
namely, Danzo Shimura.
This guy Danzo Shimura was basically a character Masashi Kishimoto specifically created to fill plot holes.
He was the eternal scapegoat; any blame could be shifted onto him.
The Uchiha Clan Massacre, the death of the White Fang, Nagato's hatred...
it was all this guy's doing.
By exposing Danzo Shimura early, if he could make Minato Namikaze develop a distaste for the guy,
it would also accelerate the process of changing the plot.
In the second quiz, the one that just ended,
revealing the Uchiha Clan Massacre was one point.
More importantly, it placed Danzo Shimura right under Minato Namikaze's blade.
It was to let our Little Sun kill him sooner.
Then, it also exposed the hypocritical and sanctimonious Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
This would accelerate the speed at which Minato Namikaze took power.
Given Minato Namikaze's own personality, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to seize control.
He didn't really care if power remained in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands.
Only by giving the Little Sun a greater sense of urgency through the quiz would Ye Chen be able to speed up this process,
thereby achieving Ye Chen's goal of changing the original plot line.
Next, it remains to be seen if Minato Namikaze will take action against Danzo Shimura.
If he does, then Ye Chen will choose a new target for the next quiz.
If he still holds back and does nothing, Ye Chen will have to double down in the next quiz.
After thinking it through, Ye Chen felt there were no issues.
In any case, you, Danzo Shimura, have to die for me.
Whether you die sooner or later, you can't escape death in the end!
"Right, let's see how many Plot Points I have now."
[Ding! Since Tsunade has developed a distaste for Hiruzen Sarutobi and their teacher-student relationship has broken, rewarded Plot Points: 2454!]
[Ding! Since Jiraiya is disappointed in Hiruzen Sarutobi and their bond has weakened, rewarded Plot Points: 566!]
[Ding! Since Minato Namikaze is disappointed in Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hiruzen Sarutobi's prestige has declined, rewarded Plot Points: 7884!]

[Ding! Since Kakashi Hatake is disappointed in Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hiruzen Sarutobi's prestige has declined, rewarded Plot Points: 2451!]
[Ding! Since Hiruzen Sarutobi feels regret, which will accelerate the time for Minato Namikaze to take power, rewarded Plot Points: 3454!]
[Ding! Since Danzo Shimura's actions are despicable and disgusting, and Minato Namikaze is determined to eliminate him, rewarded Plot Points: 12141!]
[Ding! Since Danzo Shimura's actions are despicable and disgusting, and Jiraiya has developed a distaste for him, rewarded Plot Points: 1548!]
[Ding! Since Danzo Shimura's actions are despicable and disgusting, and Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to abandon him, rewarded Plot Points: 7848!]
...A series of prompts explained the impact the second quiz had just made on the Konoha higher-ups.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's prestige had declined, and both of his students were very disappointed in him!
The dirty deeds Danzo Shimura committed were completely exposed, and Minato Namikaze could no longer resist the urge to kill him!
Even the two former Hokage Advisors, Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu, were weary from the shock.
Brilliant results!
Altogether, Ye Chen's Plot Points had reached nearly a hundred thousand!
According to the system's rules, Plot Points can be used to exchange for items in the System Mall.
They can also be used for the gacha!
Ten thousand points per pull in the Low-tier Prize Pool.
One hundred thousand points per pull in the High-tier Prize Pool!
You can even do a Ten-pull, and get one pull for free!
It's exactly the same as mobile game gacha mechanics! Was this system made by Tencent?
Having just done a round of pulls, Ye Chen was somewhat satisfied and didn't want to continue.
Being able to pull the Eight Gates Released Formation from the Low-tier Prize Pool was a complete stroke of luck.
If he continued spending more, he'd probably lose his shirt, so Ye Chen decisively gave up.
Opening the System Mall again, Ye Chen looked at the items inside; they were blindingly bright!
Perfect Sage Body! Required Plot Points: One hundred million!
Ten-Tails Jinchuriki! Required Plot Points: Eighty million!
Truth-Seeking Orb! Required Plot Points: Sixty million!
Yin-Yang Release! Required Plot Points: Fifty million!
Hashirama-level Wood Release Ninjutsu! Required Plot Points: Twenty million!
Rinnegan! Required Plot Points: Twenty million!
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan! Required Plot Points: Fifteen million!
Shit! Who can afford this!
Ye Chen's mental state suddenly collapsed.
I worked so hard on two operations and only got a hundred thousand Plot Points.
And you want fifteen million for just one Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
Is this a price meant for humans?
How many quizzes do I have to run before I can afford this!
Black-hearted System!
Looking at his pitiful Plot Points, Ye Chen could only grit his teeth and close the System Mall.
Then he lay back on the bed and covered his head with the quilt.
He started to wallow in his depression!
