Chapter 1: I Have Many Cheats

"Excuse me, when can I leave?"

"Wait for ANBU investigation."

"Don't you ANBU ask the parties when investigating?"

"Wait for ANBU investigation!"

After saying this, the ANBU with the cat-face mask remained silent and ignored Uchiha Youichi's attempts to inquire further.

Seeing this, Uchiha Youichi could only give up. Now he could only wait for ANBU to release him on their own initiative or for his clan to rescue him.

However, knowing Uchiha Fugaku's somewhat weak-willed nature, he would probably negotiate with the Konoha Elders, then wait for the ANBU investigation.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Youichi couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart. The heavy casualties among his teammates were not his fault. It was due to Konoha's inadequate intelligence. Having a Jonin, a Chunin, and two Genin in a C-rank mission was already quite good, considering he managed to bring back one teammate.

Uchiha Fugaku should have seized on the point that Konoha's intelligence was inadequate, and that the Konoha mission squad didn't handle it properly, nearly causing the death of this Uchiha Clan Chunin.

When will the Uchiha become tougher!

Uchiha Youichi is a transmigrator who arrived in the ninja world just a year ago.

The original Youichi was quite talented, graduating early and becoming a Chunin two years later, and even awakening the Sharingan, albeit only one Tomoe. Being able to activate the Sharingan is rare even among the Uchiha Clan.

One could say he had the aura of a strong individual.

However, after being replaced by the transmigrated soul, things became a bit awkward. Although he inherited memories, his combat experience was essentially like going through a movie in his mind.

Just after transmigrating, Uchiha Youichi decisively took a half-year leave from the clan to request a break from missions in Konoha. He needed time to refine his own strength before anything else.

He knew how to refine Chakra, perform Ninjutsu with hand seals, and even use the Sharingan.

But he needed to turn these into his true strength, so Uchiha Youichi spent half a year practicing in the clan.

During this half year, he made significant progress, becoming proficient in Ninjutsu and Chakra according to his memories, effectively inheriting all the abilities of his original self.

Moreover, he endured a lot of "cheats"!

Speaking of Uchiha Youichi's cheats, the psychic power roulette wheel stands out with its endless transformations!

Every month, it randomly refreshes a psychic power, some of which are ridiculously powerful while others are barely useful.

For example, in this mission, he, an ordinary Chunin, and three Genin managed to survive and defeat the enemy, including a Jonin, a Chunin, two Genin, and a group of bandits. They owed it all to the fortune of today's psychic power.

[Catch the Blade Barehanded]: When you swing a blade, your primary target unconditionally kneels down, gripping the blade with both hands. When the enemy releases the grip depends on when you draw the blade, but drawing the blade will exhaust all your stamina.

It was with this move that Uchiha Youichi, in cooperation with a Genin, managed to kill that Jonin.

Actually, there was another time when Uchiha Youichi's ninja team was wiped out. They were on a border patrol mission and happened to encounter two elite squads of Cloud Ninja crossing the border.

If his psychic power hadn't been perfectly suited at the time, Uchiha Youichi would have met his end in the ninja world within half a year.

[Turning Enemies into Friends]: This ability instantly raises the favorability of someone who harbors hostility towards you to 99, but you must smile and flatter them for three hours, or their favorability will plummet to -99.

If not for this skill, Uchiha Youichi and his teammates would have perished together.

Fortunately, after activating this psychic power, Uchiha Youichi successfully became buddies with the two elite squads of Cloud Ninja, spending a few hours with them. Not only did he gather intelligence about their mission, but he also managed to divert the Cloud Ninja team passing through a town, had a few drinks, and casually asked one of the squad captains about the Lightning Release Chakra Mode training method.

Another time during a mission, there were no fatalities, but the entire team of four ended up in a collective wrestling match. Except for Uchiha Youichi, the other three all suffered broken legs and arms. After those three team members recovered from their injuries, the team inexplicably disbanded.

Within half a year, three mission teams fell apart. So when Uchiha Youichi returned to the village this time, he was brought in for investigation by ANBU.

Although they called it an investigation, Uchiha Youichi felt like ANBU was just restricting his personal freedom.

He had been locked up for four or five hours already. Apart from two rice balls and a cup of water midway through, Uchiha Youichi hadn't eaten anything else. Considering he had just been through a "battle" before returning, his Chakra was depleted significantly, and he needed a good meal to recover.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Uchiha Youichi dozed off in the detention room. In a daze, he heard the sound of ANBU knocking on the door.

"Uchiha Youichi, you can come out now."

After saying this, the ANBU with the cat-faced mask directly opened the door to the detention room.

"You guys are really efficient. I thought I'd be staying here for a month. Didn't expect to be out in just a few hundred minutes," Uchiha Youichi couldn't help but taunt, but the ANBU with the cat-faced mask didn't respond.

Soon after leaving the detention room, Uchiha Youichi saw Uchiha Marin outside, the Squad Captain of the Police Force and a well-known Jonin of the Uchiha Clan.

"Youichi, let's go back," Marin said.

"Thanks for coming to get me, Marin Senpai," Uchiha Youichi replied, then glanced at the sky. It was already very dark; he had been detained for at least six or seven hours.

"Marin Senpai, what about the mission this time? When ANBU let me out just now, they didn't tell me the outcome," Uchiha Youichi asked.

Marin Senpai didn't immediately respond to his question. He walked with Uchiha Youichi for a while, away from the Ninja building, before finally speaking.

"There's no decision yet. The Elders haven't reached a consensus. Some suggest conducting a deep probe into your mind, but the Clan Head hasn't agreed."

"This mission is quite suspicious. A Jonin and Chunin appearing in a C-rank mission is unusual. The mission team refuses to acknowledge any mishap in intelligence gathering. They praised you for bringing back the Jonin's head, and after investigation, they confirmed it was a coincidence."

"The Iwa-nin infiltration squad was likely trying to gather information on the Capital Daimyo's residence, which you happened to disrupt. That's why the Clan Head opposes probing into your mind."

"So, I'm still a hero. What are the Konoha Elders doing then?" Uchiha Youichi, despite his good temper, almost cursed the team of four, then continued, "I risked my life to bring back intelligence for Konoha, and now they want to probe my mind? Marin Senpai, don't you find this unreasonable? I'm the hero who killed the Iwa-nin Jonin."

"And accidents happening in mission teams are quite normal. Kakashi took Naruto on their first C-rank mission, and it ended up being upgraded to an A-rank or even S-rank mission. If it weren't for his kind heart, Kakashi's team could have easily left behind two orphans."

"It indeed seems unreasonable. After hearing this news, members of the Police Force are quite furious. However, Clan Head has only recently taken office, so you should try to understand his position," sighed Uchiha Marin. "Clan Head wants to further the development of the Uchiha through his own methods, and as clan members, we have to support him."

"But Youichi, how did you manage to kill that Jonin from the Iwa-nin village?"
