"It succeeded!" Hatake Shoichi clenched his fists in excitement.
Aunt Inaho had always treated him extremely well. Seeing her cured, Shoichi looked gratefully at Uchiha Fucheng, who still maintained his Mangekyo.
As for Hatake Inaho, who was lying on the bed, her pain had now been relieved, and she fell asleep with a peaceful expression.
"It should be fine now."
Uchiha Fucheng observed carefully with his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Seeing that the treatment had worked well, he continued.
"Later on, Lord Sakumo can ask an obstetrician from Konoha Hospital to check on Lady Hatake and the baby again.
Especially key metrics like blood pressure, heart rate, and the fetus's condition."
Sakumo Hatake nodded, bowing deeply in profound gratitude.
"Patriarch Fucheng, for saving my wife and child, Sakumo is endlessly grateful."
...
With Uchiha Fucheng's eye technique treatment, Hatake Inaho made a miraculous recovery.
Unlike how medical Ninjutsu utilizes Chakra, the healing of the Mangekyo eye technique seemed more like a miracle.
And after the treatment, Uchiha Fucheng also obtained what he wanted.
[Reward: Sakumo Hatake's fate dice]
[Reward: Kakashi Hatake's fate dice]
Fucheng had originally only hoped to trigger a 'Fifty-Fifty' fate reward.
He hadn't expected that he would end up triggering the White Fang of the Leaf's fate reward as well.
It seemed that Sakumo Hatake's eventual suicide was heavily connected to his wife's passing.
With his beloved wife's care and affection, the current Sakumo Hatake, no matter how difficult things got, probably wouldn't take that path of no return and end his own life.
Two fate dice—it was truly a double blessing!
Returning to the Uchiha Compound, Fucheng immediately found a secret room to open his rewards.
Having already harvested quite a few rewards, Fucheng had begun to grasp the basic patterns of these rewards.
First, the rewards for rolls of 1 through 5 were highly related to the character.
Like Nawaki's small amount of Senju Bloodline, or the summoning beast rewarded from Sasuke.
Unrelated abilities would not appear.
Second, the rewarded content was not necessarily the character's top-tier or most proficient ability.
For example, for the prominent second male lead, Uchiha Sasuke, the dice had rolled a 2.
Let alone the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, it didn't even touch upon any Release techniques, ultimately only granting a summoning beast reward consisting of a small animal combo: a snake, a cat, and a hawk.
Third, even if the fate dice yielded the most core ability, the strength of the rewarded ability was only related to the recognition value invested.
It would shrink in both quality and quantity compared to the original. For example, Fugaku's reward, though it yielded Mangekyo ocular power sharing the same origin as brothers.
But that ocular power was not enough in quality or quantity to unlock the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
It merely enhanced the upper limit of Fucheng's Mangekyo ocular power.
The final point was that all random dice rewards would include a stacking increase of Chakra or physical fitness.
This was undoubtedly good news.
Though the amount was small, many mickles make a muckle. It had already made Uchiha Fucheng's total Chakra capacity significantly higher than when he had first reincarnated.
...
This roll of [Sakumo Hatake's fate dice] allowed Uchiha Fucheng to [obtain an upgrade in Taijutsu ability and mastery of the Hatake Blade Technique].
Uchiha Fucheng, whose Taijutsu was not weak to begin with, suddenly gained a wealth of Taijutsu skills and training memories.
Although the rewarded Taijutsu ability wasn't massive, it was enough for him to look back and look down upon his slightly clumsy former self.
"This has saved me at least five years of Taijutsu training!"
Feeling his slightly expanded muscles, Fucheng drew a short blade from its scabbard, casually twirling it as the blade's light gleamed like water.
Uchiha Fucheng skillfully used the short blade, executing a stunning move of four slashes in a single second.
The first slash went from the right shoulder to the left ribs.
The second slash was an upward sweep from the left abdomen.
The third slash went from the left shoulder to the right ribs.
The fourth slash was another upward sweep from the right abdomen.
The four flashes of the blade had to be slashed forward simultaneously in less than a second.
Ultimately, they formed a massive X-shaped crossing blade light.
A white flash gleamed!
As long as the strength and Chakra were applied properly, one could directly slice a target enemy into four pieces with a swift strike.
Fucheng sheathed his blade, sighing with emotion in his heart.
"It's powerful beyond imagination! This Hatake Clan blade technique is completely different from the Uchiha Clan's Chakra blade technique!
In terms of technique execution, the Hatake Blade Technique consumes very little Chakra, relying more on the trinity of spirit, intent, and body.
It's very similar to the 'blade intent' of masters described in wuxia novels; the moment the blade is drawn, it can awe the opponent's mind with sheer momentum and blade intent."
And [Kakashi Hatake's fate dice] was even more interesting.
He rolled the dice—a 5!
"Extremely good luck."
This time, Fucheng actually obtained a precious space-time reward.
[Obtained a small amount of space-time Ninjutsu talent, and obtained a 1-cubic-meter miniature version of the Kamui dimension.]
In Fucheng's view, space-time Ninjutsu talent and the Kamui dimension should have been Uchiha Obito's skills.
He hadn't expected that this big-eyed, thick-browed Hatake Fifty-Fifty could also drop so many good things.
"It's just a pity that the rewarded space-time talent is only a small amount, but it solves the problem of going from zero to one.
Otherwise, without space-time talent, even if you got the Flying Thunder God scroll, you wouldn't be able to learn it."
Fucheng reached out, groping in the empty air.
This rewarded Kamui dimension was also miniature.
Furthermore, it could not be used for Sharingan space attacks.
This ultra-small Kamui dimension was merely a 1-cubic-meter storage box, like a portable pocket.
It was more like an equipment slot in a game.
Fucheng cheerfully comforted himself.
"Forget it, Kakashi hasn't had it easy either. At least it didn't just reward me with Pakkun.
Otherwise, I'd have to buy dog food for Pakkun, and apparently expensive bathing shampoo too—that would be a huge hassle."
While testing how to use the portable Kamui dimension, he packed paper bombs, Ninja tool scrolls, and Ninja medicine—items that didn't take up much volume—into the space.
This space probably had nothing to do with Uchiha Obito's Kamui dimension.
Under Fucheng's observation, this space was surrounded on all sides by 'blue lightning walls' similar to his ocular power.
The shape of the entire space could be altered.
But it would always maintain an overall volume of 1 cubic meter.
Moreover, the entire space was completely and tightly linked to Fucheng's own Mangekyo Sharingan.
...
The Hatake residence.
With Lady Hatake cured,
Sakumo Hatake's mental state seemed entirely renewed.
A smile constantly played on his lips, and he was beaming with joy all day long.
Although everyone had been asked to keep this treatment strictly confidential, after the Konoha Hospital's examination, the detailed news of Lady Hatake's miraculous recovery still reached the Konoha high-ups.
The Sandaime, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had now somewhat resigned himself to it.
Perhaps a healing-type Mangekyo posed little threat to the Village, or perhaps it was because Sakumo Hatake and Tsunade were both very close with Uchiha Fucheng.
In any case, Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously turned a blind eye to certain matters of the Uchiha Clan, as long as they didn't cross the line.
As for the cooperation between the Hatake Clan and the Uchiha Clan, to the Konoha high-ups, that was even less of a big deal.
Previously, they had suppressed the Hatake Clan simply because some Konoha high-ups were somewhat wary of this clan that had started out as samurai.
But that didn't mean they wanted to strictly limit the Hatake Clan's survival and development.
If that were truly the case, they wouldn't have let Sakumo Hatake obtain the top-tier titles of [Hero of Konoha] and [White Fang of the Leaf].
When Uchiha Fucheng discussed clan cooperation with Sakumo Hatake this time, he had no intention of making Sakumo Hatake repay the favor.
Not only did he not mistreat the Hatake Clan in the cooperation, but he also leveraged the Uchiha Clan's status as a powerhouse within the Village to give the Hatake Clan a genuine helping hand.
The first agreement of the clan cooperation
was to appoint Sakumo Hatake as the Chief Advisor of Ninja Tools, Taijutsu, and Kenjutsu for the Uchiha Clan.
The Uchiha Clan would pay Sakumo Hatake the equivalent reward of five S-rank missions annually as an employment fee.
The second part of the cooperation was to help the Hatake Clan develop their clan industries.
Any member of the Hatake Clan would have priority in taking on Uchiha Clan business and priority in leasing Uchiha Clan real estate.
After the younger generation of the Hatake Clan graduated from the Ninja Academy, they could also proactively apply for an Uchiha ClanJonin to be their instructor.
This part of the bilateral cooperation was entirely Uchiha Fucheng using abundant resources to win over the Hatake Clan.
Although the Hatake Clan's male line was already withered, with only a few stragglers left,
counting Sakumo Hatake's household, there were only nine ordinary families left.
However, these mere thirty to forty people could play the crucial role of 'buying a dead horse's bones to attract legendary steeds'!
Unlike the Sarutobi Clan, which had been expanding frantically by relying on the influence of the Hokage,
and unlike the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who were keen on developing specialized industries to huddle together for warmth,
the Uchiha Clan, due to their limited population and the constraints of their Bloodline Limit, as a Konoha powerhouse, desperately needed the 'vassalage, support, and allegiance' of other small clans.
Of course, this also stemmed from Uchiha Fucheng's massive deficit in [recognition value].
Only by expanding his sphere of management and the family influence of the Uchiha Clan, making more small clans his vassals, could he obtain more [recognition value].
Expanding allies and friends to the maximum was the safest path of development for the Uchiha.
"Unite the majority, strike the absolute minority—this is the top-tier strategy that modern people understand best."
Just like when Fucheng was 'mining private coal' back then; without his own vassal lackeys and friends to run errands and help him out, he wouldn't even be able to handle the countless minor troubles by himself.
Currently, besides the Hatake Clan, there were naturally other small clans targeted by Uchiha Fucheng.
For instance, the small genjutsu clan, the Yuhi Clan; he had already begun to make contact with Yuhi Shinku.
And the small Bloodline Limit clan, the Gekko Clan, which was the Transparent Release clan of the Shippuden protagonist, Gekkō Hayate.
With their high incidence of bloodline disease, Uchiha Fucheng's recruitment would be even more powerful.
After all, with the endorsement of Tsunade and the White Fang of the Leaf, Uchiha Fucheng's medical capability was absolutely number one in the Ninja World.
Similar situations applied to the Kurama Clan, the Inuzuka Clan, and the Aburame Clan.
However, these clans were relatively close to the Hokage faction, so for now, he could only use ordinary business cooperation to gradually close the distance.
In addition, Uchiha Fucheng also cast his gaze outside the Village.
With the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, the Uzumaki Clan had scattered all over the world.
These descendants of the Uzumaki Clan, with their excellent Ninja talent, were also an important group that could be gathered through bounties.
As for whether expanding vassal clans would lose wealth and delay hoarding money and food?
Fucheng's answer was: "Don't worry about it!"
Once you have strength, while others hoard food, you just hoard guns.
In the war-torn Ninja World, as long as you have Ninja combat power, what is there that you cannot get!
