Time flew by; more than a month had passed since Ye Chen last won against Uchiha Itachi in a spar.
The cold, slightly arrogant young man pretended not to care about that loss, but secretly, he had been training even harder.
During this time, Ye Chen and Uchiha Itachi used clones to attend school every day, while their main bodies went together to the training grounds to spar and train, both making rapid progress.
The difference was that Ye Chen was improving in experience.
He was previously just an ordinary dead last, but after suddenly obtaining the System, he gained immense power.
However, he couldn't use it freely and had to absorb and adapt to it little by little.
Uchiha Itachi, on the other hand, was making rapid progress in strength.
Originally in the source material, Uchiha Itachi would have already graduated early by this time, breaking the record for the youngest Genin set by Kakashi Hatake.
But now, because Ye Chen was accompanying him, Uchiha Itachi didn't have such a strong desire to advance quickly.
When the two sparred, Ye Chen was naturally holding back.
Otherwise, Ye Chen, who possessed Kage-level Chakra, Wood Release, and Eight Gates, already had strength comparable to a Kage.
Uchiha Itachi had only just reached the strength of an upper Chunin and couldn't pose any threat to Ye Chen at all.
This day, Ye Chen and Uchiha Itachi had just finished a session. Uchiha Itachi sat on the ground catching his breath and drinking water, while Ye Chen leaned against a tree trunk, enjoying the view.
"Calculating the time, it should be close now. That fellow Uchiha Obito should be arriving soon."
Ye Chen looked at the Hokage Building towering in the center of Konoha Village and muttered to himself.
The original Hokage story did not mention the exact date of the Nine-Tails Attack.
But based on his own predictions, Ye Chen felt it should be within this period, so he was anticipating it every day.
It must be known that due to the first Quiz Test, Minato Namikaze and the others had already been spoiled by Ye Chen and knew the intelligence that Uchiha Obito was going to attack Konoha.
With Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, who had already been hit by the enhanced version of Kotoamatsukami.
In front of such a luxurious lineup, how much trouble could Uchiha Obito possibly cause?
Not to mention, with Minato Namikaze's prestige, he could call members of the Uchiha Clan over to help at any time.
Uchiha Obito, surrounded by a bunch of "red-eyed maniacs," how could he possibly escape?
"Hehe, Obito, this is your hell!"
Ye Chen found the thought amusing.
Just imagining Uchiha Obito's panicked expression when he first enters Konoha only to be immediately surrounded by five Kage-level experts made Ye Chen incredibly excited.
Ultimately, Ye Chen simply detested Uchiha Obito as a person.
Utterly devoid of humanity!
He went mad and tried to destroy the world just because the person he had a crush on died.
He personally caused the deaths of his master and mistress, manipulated schemes from behind the scenes, and killed the Uchiha Clan that raised him.
And yet, a guy like that somehow managed to be whitewashed in the end.
That's seriously ridiculous—the mother of ridiculousness opened the door for ridiculousness, making it ridiculously extreme!
In his previous life, whenever Ye Chen watched the anime and saw Uchiha Obito's face, constantly shouting:
"Rin! I want to create a world with Rin!"
Such nauseating words made him sick to his stomach.
Didn't he ever stop to think? If he created a world with Rin, would she even look at him?
Anyone who read the original story knows that Rin Nohara liked Kakashi Hatake.
He was just suffering from unrequited love, so why was he acting so self-pitying?
No wonder he was so determined to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi; he clearly just wanted to self-hypnotize.
It was obvious that Uchiha Obito knew perfectly well that Rin Nohara did not like him.
Even if Rin Nohara were alive, she wouldn't choose to be with him.
Otherwise, why didn't he use the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive Rin Nohara?
Even if he didn't use the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, weren't there other ways to revive her?
Why insist on using the Infinite Tsukuyomi?
Uchiha Madara already made it very clear when explaining the Infinite Tsukuyomi: it is just a massive Genjutsu.
Its purpose is to let everyone in the Ninja World live in their own beautiful dreams, thereby eliminating war and achieving eternal peace.
It's basically the same as a brain in a jar.
It's just a Genjutsu. Even if Uchiha Obito truly succeeded and completed the eye of the moon plan.
All he would do is put himself to sleep in his own beautiful dream.
Rin Nohara, who was meant to die, still died, didn't she? Did doing this help her? No.
So ultimately, Uchiha Obito just wanted to hypnotize himself, much like the Mangekyo Sharingan ability he awakened—Kamui.
Creating a small world belonging to himself, hiding inside and deceiving himself.
"Hmph, a person like Uchiha Obito should just be killed directly. He's utterly useless."
Ye Chen sneered inwardly.
"Even if I don't kill him directly, giving him a Genjutsu and letting him die in his own beautiful dream would be the greatest mercy."
Ye Chen thought.
[Ding! Detecting Host's thoughts, releasing Mission: Let Uchiha Obito die in his own beautiful dream.]
[Mission success reward: 500,000 plot points. Advanced Prize Pool Draw Opportunity: five times.]
Holy crap, the System is back?
Ye Chen was startled, sat straight up, and asked internally:
"System, have you finished upgrading?"
[Ding! No, the System main body is currently upgrading. This is a trial testing program.]
The System's mechanical voice explained.
After the explanation, Ye Chen understood.
The System main body was upgrading while dormant, and before the upgrade, the System created a small program.
This small program could automatically accumulate Ye Chen's plot points and also test the new feature that would appear after the upgrade—the Mission System.
Now, the System detected Ye Chen's inner thoughts and released a Mission to him.
After figuring it out, Ye Chen looked at the rewards in the notification bar, his heart burning with excitement:
"Holy moly, 500,000 plot points! Five Advanced Draws!"
"I'm about to get rich overnight!"
After three Quiz Tests, Ye Chen had only accumulated a little under 200,000 plot points and four Advanced Draws in total.
Now, the reward for a single Mission was more than the total rewards from three Quiz Tests combined!
This System upgrade is amazing!
"But I don't know any Genjutsu. How am I supposed to do this?"
Ye Chen noted the Mission requirement: Let Uchiha Obito die in his own beautiful dream.
Clearly, he needed to use Genjutsu to confuse Uchiha Obito, and then kill him.
Or, more simply, use a lethal Genjutsu.
But Ye Chen didn't know any of these. The only Genjutsu he had learned so far was the Darkness Passing Technique.
What should he do?
Under Uchiha Itachi's strange gaze, Ye Chen stood up and slowly paced around the trunk of the large tree he had been leaning against, circling it again and again.
"What are you doing?"
Finally, when Ye Chen reached his twentieth lap, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but ask.
"I'm thinking. You keep practicing."
Ye Chen waved his hand, brushing Uchiha Itachi off.
After a while, when Uchiha Itachi had practiced for a bit and sat down to rest again, Ye Chen slammed his right fist into his left palm, a serious look on his face:
"Alright, that's what I'll do!"
