After going to sleep at night, Uchiha Yoichi arrived in the Dream Space as expected.
He first entered Uzumaki Minako's dream and discovered that he was holding a chain in his hand, with the other end connected to... a neck?
And his other hand held a whip. Judging by the mid-air swinging motion, he had no idea how many times he'd lashed it before.
Uchiha Yoichi's lips twitched. What on earth is this? How come just one day has passed and he's already dual-wielding equipment?
He immediately tossed the whip and chain aside, then used his power to dominate the dream and replay the unfinished progress of Uzumaki Minako's research from yesterday.
Then he stepped forward, lifted Uzumaki Minako off the ground, brought her to the table, and said to her, "Continue the research from yesterday, don't think about nonsense..."
"Hey, hey, hey? How come it's this dream again? No, no, I want to continue the previous dream..."
Uzumaki Minako's face showed great confusion, and she quickly shook her head, trying to return to her previous sweet dream.
But without Uchiha Yoichi's consent, Uzumaki Minako wouldn't be able to go back. He then smacked the grindstone three times, saying, "Hurry up, this is an order!"
"I... I understand..."
After being hit, Uzumaki Minako trembled slightly, then agreed with a flushed face.
"I'll come back to check later. If there's no progress..."
Uchiha Yoichi controlled Uzumaki Minako's dream; anyway, she wouldn't be able to return to that previous dream.
"I... I understand..."
Seeing that Uzumaki Minako was obedient, Uchiha Yoichi was relieved to leave.
After Uzumaki Minako started her research, staying there waiting didn't mean anything, so he went back and began training using Shadow Clones.
Aside from the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Uchiha Yoichi split into three Shadow Clones to train other Ninjutsu, like the Hidden Cloud Village's One-Finger Nukite, whose penetrative power was indeed astonishing when the speed was maximized.
Anyway, Chakra recovers quickly, so practicing it is no problem.
"Should I check out other people's dreams?"
The thought suddenly arose in Uchiha Yoichi's mind. Training with Shadow Clones, with the main body participating, only increased the progress by a fraction and wasn't a decisive factor.
Just go visit other people's dreams casually and see if there's any unexpected gain.
After deciding, Uchiha Yoichi pondered for a moment and the first dream he entered was Sarutobi Hiruzen's.
However, this time Uchiha Yoichi didn't appear directly inside the dream; instead, like when he visited Madam Mikota's dream previously, he appeared outside the dream space.
"It seems like you need to see if the other person dreams of me. If so, I can replace the dream version of myself. If not, I'll appear outside their dream."
Uchiha Yoichi saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's dream was of the Five Kage Summit, with Sarutobi Hiruzen seated at the head of the table, behind him were Shimura Danzo and Hatake Sakumo.
The Third Generation Raikage said, "Third Generation Hokage, your reputation and benevolence command immense respect from Hidden Cloud Village. The entire Hidden Cloud Village is willing to sign a submission treaty with Konoha Village. Please, Third Generation Hokage, grant Hidden Cloud Village this opportunity!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled but politely declined, saying, "There's no need for that, just signing a peace agreement is enough..."
The Third Generation Raikage looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with admiration and said, "Without you, Third Generation Hokage, Hidden Cloud Village could never concede. I'm willing to lead Hidden Cloud Village to submit to you."
The Third Generation Tsuchikage Onoki also said, "As am I, the Third Generation Hokage's magnanimity exceeds even that of the First Generation Hokage, in my opinion. Hidden Rock Village is willing to sign this submission treaty."
"Hidden Sand Village also agrees to sign the submission treaty; besides the Third Generation Hokage, I've never admired anyone else," someone stated.
"Honorable Third Generation Hokage, we are all sincere. Please agree..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded mildly, then turned to Shimura Danzo, asking, "Danzo, what do you think?"
"Hiruzen, you decide. Since the first day you became Hokage, I've always admired you."
Danzo, in a serious manner, said emphatically, "I was wrong to compete with you for Hokage; failing to see your outstanding qualities. Fortunately, Tobirama-sensei didn't make me Hokage..."
"I'm going to be sick! That old geezer wants a piece of the action!"
Outside, Uchiha Yoichi was about to be nauseated by this performance; he used his power to transform into Danzo and directly entered Sarutobi Hiruzen's dream.
With a wave of his hand, he banished everyone else and then conjured two chains to hoist Sarutobi Hiruzen up.
"Danzo? What are you doing, let me go!"
"Shut up, you revolting old man!"
Uchiha Yoichi said, then pulled out a whip and began lashing Sarutobi Hiruzen, after dozens of lashes, he quickly had Hiruzen crying out in pain.
Uchiha Yoichi then dropped the whip and punched and kicked Sarutobi Hiruzen for an hour before releasing him.
After Uchiha Yoichi left Sarutobi Hiruzen's dream, his Dream Space suddenly vanished.
"Must have been awakened by the pain, that's why the dream disappeared suddenly..."
Uchiha Yoichi's guess was correct. Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately woke up, ignoring Biwako beside his bed, and grimaced and whimpered.
"So painful, so painful, it's killing me, damn Danzo! Oh, ow!"
Having been beaten for an hour, the accumulated pain instantaneously hit Sarutobi Hiruzen; even as the Third Generation Hokage, he couldn't endure it.
"What happened to you? Did you have a nightmare?"
Sarutobi Biwako said peevishly to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Why wake up in the middle of the night, saying you're in pain?
