"Sorry! Once again there will be no information about the previous chapter cause the Author is getting desperate for Patrons!": Fugaku says in shame.
"I am not desperate! I just want a bit of income so that I can stop working at that shitty job!": Author throws back annoyed.
"Just change it already to the [Advertisement Section], you moron!": Fugaku throws back at the author.
"That is actually a viable idea!? Maybe I will really do that.": the Author mutters while contemplating advertising some products.
"SHIT! Anyway here is today's sketch.": Fugaku curses annoyed about working with such an idiot.
Fugaku: I don't see the point in supporting someone I've never met before. Why should I spend my hard-earned money on them?
Author: Well, for one thing, supporting content creators helps to ensure that they can continue creating the content that you enjoy. Without financial support, many creators would have to give up their passion projects because they simply can't afford to keep doing it.
Fugaku: But isn't it their choice to pursue a passion project? Why should I have to support them financially?
Author: It is their choice, but creating quality content takes a lot of time and effort, and many creators struggle to make a living from their work (aka Ikaru5). By financially supporting them, you're not only helping them to keep doing what they love, but you're also investing in the future of the content you enjoy.
Fugaku: I see your point. But how do I know that my money will actually go towards supporting the creator and not just line someone else's pockets?
Author: That's a valid concern, but many creators are transparent about how they use their funds. They may have a Patreon or Ko-Fi page where you can see exactly how your donation is being used. Plus, many creators offer exclusive content or perks for their supporters, so it can be a win-win situation.
Fugaku: Hmm, I hadn't thought of it that way. I'll have to consider supporting some of my favorite content creators.
Author: I think you'll find that it's a worthwhile investment. Supporting creators not only helps them to keep creating content, but it can also create a sense of community and connection between creators and their supporters. Plus, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you're helping to support something that brings you joy.

For two days, Fugaku remained on the move, careful not to draw attention to himself. He watched as weaker teams of Suna Shinobi passed by, biding his time until he could act without detection.
Through his Scarlet Sharingan, Fugaku scanned the direction of the Wind Kingdom and spotted another team of Suna Shinobi heading towards him. He could sense that they were elites among the ranks, but it was difficult to discern their exact movements as the Sharingan was not as adept as the Byakugan at reconnaissance.
Taking down a Jōnin along with two Chūnin is a manageable task, whether through assassination or infiltration.
Fugaku understood the importance of being patient and not rushing the operation, as even the slightest disturbance could alert the Sunagakure team stationed in the Land of Rain.
Thus, he followed behind the trio discreetly, biding his time for the opportune moment to strike. The idea was to execute the mission away from the border, minimizing the risk of drawing unwanted attention.
Fugaku was aware of the potential repercussions if the operation failed and was determined to see it through with precision and caution.
The evening air grew still and quiet as the three Suna Shinōbi finally settled down in an open clearing. Uchiha Fugaku watched from the shadows, observing their movements with precision. They were far enough from the Wind Country, so there was no need to worry about raising an alarm. The trio consumed their rations in silence, their hushed voices making it impossible for Fugaku to eavesdrop on their conversation.
As the night stretched on, the darkness deepened, and nature became a symphony of chirping insects. The Suna Chūnin kept a vigilant watch while the other two dozed off. Fugaku knew this was the perfect opportunity to strike. His eyes blazed with the Sharingan, and he slowly began to advance towards his unsuspecting targets.
Priorly, Fugaku coated all of his weapons with anesthesia, making it easy to subdue any opponents he may encounter. As the night grew quieter, the Chūnin on watch duty began to tire and eventually closed his eyes to rest.
Fugaku was unsure if the team had set up a rotating watch schedule, but after waiting for another two hours, he was confident that at least two of them had fallen asleep.
With his opportunity presenting itself, Fugaku activated the Body Flicker Jutsu and made his move. "Body Flicker Jutsu," Uchiha Fugaku whispered, his actions swift and silent. Two explosive tags were thrown, aimed at the two sleeping Shinōbi.
As Fugaku closed in on his targets, the night watch's Chūnin suddenly heard a rustling sound. His eyes snapped open, and he quickly shouted, "Enemy attack!"
With a quick and precise maneuver, the Jonin shielded himself using the unsuspecting Chūnin as a human shield, pulled by chakra strings. The explosion was brutal, and it hit all three Shinobi like a ton of bricks, enveloping them in a loud blast. Fugaku clicked his tongue in disappointment and shook his head, cursing the Jonin under his breath. "What kind of monster uses his own comrade as a shield?" he muttered to himself.
Uchiha Fugaku's hands moved at lightning speed as he formed seals, channeling his chakra to unleash a Gōkyakū no jutsu from his mouth. The powerful fireball shot towards the flames, illuminating the dark night with a bright orange glow.
As the fire subsided, two figures stumbled out, looking slightly disheveled and embarrassed. Uchiha Fugaku fixed his gaze on them, his sharp eyes piercing through the darkness, revealing their identities - a Chūnin and the Jōnin in charge of the squad. His mind raced as he contemplated the next move.
[You killed an enemy and earned thirty points of LifeForce.]
[Current Balance: 66 Points of Life Force.]
(A/N: This is not a System prompt for Fugaku! To him, it is more like a coolness washing over his body, while hearing the words like a muttering, but to make it visual and to not waste on going over this sensation each time he kills someone. I will use this prompt!)
Simultaneously, Fugaku felt the cool sensation of the life force being absorbed into his body, confirming the death of the second Chunin.
'Heh, having this sensation is like an extra sense, ensuring that the enemy is truly dead.': Fugaku mused to himself, feeling satisfied with his successful mission.
Fugaku's eyes narrowed as he spotted the Jōnin rushing towards him. Without hesitation, he threw a flurry of shuriken towards the incoming enemy, forcing him to dodge and giving Fugaku an opening.
Fugaku's Sharingan spun rapidly, his three-tomoes swirling in a hypnotic dance as he analyzed his opponents' movements.
In a split second, he closed the distance to the Chūnin and tried to swiftly deal a fatal blow. The Chūnin, sensing the danger, tried to counterattack with a desperate punch, but Fugaku was too fast. He dodged the attack and struck the Chūnin in the heart, killing him instantly.
[You killed an enemy and earned thirty points of LifeForce.]
[Current Balance: 96 Points of Life Force.]
As he withdrew his hand, Fugaku felt a cool sensation wash over him, a sign that he had absorbed the Life Force of his fallen foe. He knew, that the second Chūnin had passed away, and a sense of satisfaction washed over him.
Fugaku's Sharingan spun rapidly, its three tomoe reflecting the lifeless body at his feet. The other Shinōbi, a Jōnin from Suna, raised his hands in a futile attempt to defend himself. But as soon as his eyes met Fugaku's Sharingan, he froze in terror.
With a swift and painless strike, Fugaku penetrated the man's chest. A warning flashed in his mind, reminding him of the constant danger in the world of Shinobi, where a moment of carelessness could cost one's life.
