The elder’s and Inner-Sect disciples have gone mad!

In the dimly lit dorm room of the nether sect. Itachi was sitting cross legged on a mat next to his bed. His eyes were deep in concentration, the air around him crackled with energy as he channeled the qi through his meridians.

But strangely enough, As his cultivation progressed Itachi started to sense a deep and foreboding feeling.

This bad feeling was engraved deep into his bones, through his years of being in the anbu and being involved in the uchiha clans dangerous politics he had a keen sense of danger.

Itachi furrowed his brows as he tried to shake of this bad feeling of Impending danger.

He didnt know why it came now but he had no choice but to ignore it. Whatever was causing this warning sign would eventually show itself.

Itachi knew he had to become stronger as soon as possible, in order to protect himself and face the impending dangers of this world he needed power.

With strength comes confidence. Itachi had zero plans to become a pawn for others to use and discard.

With this trail of thought Itachi strengthened his resolve and focused on the task at hand.

As the days went passed his cultivation progressed steadily after he obtained the "Eternal damnation sutra"

Starting from the low qi condensation stage, he had diligently practised the cultivation technique outlined in the manual.

Itachi could feel the power within him growing with each passing day, as he absorbed the essence of the world around him.

As he delved deeper into his cultivation, Itachi could sense the imminent breakthrough to the next minor realm - Mid Qi condensation. Although this advancement didnt seem like much, it was a crucial step in his cultivation journey.

This small step brought him ever so closer to the foundation establishment realm!

With a focused mind, Itachi visualised the intricate meridians within his body, guiding the flow of qi to his dantian to improve his cultivation.

Hours turned into days. Itachi was now 5 days into his 2 weeks time limit.

Itachi continued to immerse himself in the cultivation process. His determination and unwavering focus were evident in the beads of sweat that formed on his forehead. The room was filled with an aura of intense concentration, as if the very air itself held its breath, anticipating the breakthrough.

Finally, after days of arduous cultivation, Itachi felt a surge of energy coursing through his veins. His body trembled with power as he reached the Mid Qi Condensation stage, a significant milestone on his path to becoming stronger.

With a sense of accomplishment, Itachi opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. He had overcome another hurdle and advanced further in his cultivation. But he knew that there was still a long way to go.

Itachi could hear the system notifactions going off one by one, his reward for reaching another minor realm seemed to be pretty good this time.

As Itachi caught his breath and prepared check his reward and further continue his cultivation, a sudden commotion outside the dorm room caught his attention. Curiosity piqued, he stepped out to investigate, only to find a group of disciples and elders from the Nether Sect rushing around the courtyards.

These disciples were not just the current new batch of recruits.

There were also Inner sect disciples that had been in the sect for a very long time, they wore red robes with crescent shaped moon embroidery. They were rushing into each dorm room and interrogating the new recruits.

Some of the new recruits even peed themselves out of fear.

Itachi being the cautious and intelligent individual he was, he slowly walked back and closed his door. He didnt want to arouse any further suspicion and get caught up in a mess.

" System, do you have anything that can temporarily advance my hearing? "

{ Ding! Yes, system is requesting the Host to check the shop. There is a special hearing device }

Itachi quickly opened the shop interface and found what he was looking for.

{ Den Den Mushi - A special hearing device that is invisible to others. Hearing radius - 500 metres. Price: 350 points. }

" 350 points? Even Tsunade-sama wouldnt dare sell something at this price… "

Itachi sighed, he did not have enough system points for this. He looked again and another item piqued his interest.

{ Hearing stone - Able to hear everything within a radius of 50 metres . After 30 seconds item will disintegrate. Price: 25 points. }

Itachi hurriedly bought the item and activated the stone.

Suddenly an influx of voices attacked Itachi's brain.

There were atleast 50, some were shouting and some were small whispers. He could hear it all.

After about 5 seconds Itachi filtered out the voices and focused it on the the whispers.

After listening for about 30 seconds Itachi found out the details.

The stone disintegrated into blue light and disappeared.

" Interesting, it seems like an important treasure has gone missing from the sects fault. Judging from the conversations of the Elders and Inner-sect disciples they are suspicious of a disciple that goes by the name ' Lin Wei ' An Important Inner-sect disciple that had been in the sect for more than 10 years "

Itachi felt a headache, he had only been here for a short while and already many events were transpiring.

But most importantly, the foreboding feeling of danger he had previously resurfaced…

It was getting stronger to the point where it was suffocating him.

Itachi did not want to ignore this feeling, something was wrong. Very wrong.

As Itachi couldnt ignore the foreboding feeling of danger. He had a growing suspicion that this feeling was related to the current event. There were clearly some dangerous under-currents going on within the sect.

Before Itachi could summarise his thoughts the familiar robotic voice of the system made an appearance yet again.

{ Ding! The system has a mission for the host. Please investigate and unravel the disappearance of the Nether sect's treasure and find out whats going on. Reward : 500 points and the 1 tailed beast Shukaku! Danger level of the mission: High! }
