"Asana, what's wrong? Why are you so pale?" Uchiha En asked, supporting the unsteady Hyuga Asana.
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Asana instinctively looked around.
"Don't worry! There are no Anbu or Root members within 500 meters."
After hearing Uchiha En, Hyuga Asana smiled and replied, "I conducted an experiment with Orochimaru-sensei."
"Orochimaru used your blood?" Uchiha En's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent as he looked at the weak Hyuga Asana.
"This time it's different, En, we succeeded. This is what you wanted." With that, Hyuga Asana handed Uchiha En an injector filled with a milky white liquid.
"You've been busy with this for the past three days?"
"Sort of! En, this injection is our improved first hokages cells. We used Yin Release to suppress some of the first hokages cells' activity while strengthening their vitality.
However, excessively strong vitality also carries risks. It's best if the user has strong Yin Release to aid absorption, otherwise there's still a possibility of being assimilated by the first hokages cells."
Uchiha En nodded, put away the syringe, and said, "Asana, we can talk about the first hokages cells later! For now, I'll take you home."
"En, instead of going home, I'd rather have a big meal right now. How about you treat me to some yakiniku?"
"Okay!" With that, Uchiha En directly picked up Hyuga Asana and jumped onto the rooftop.
It was Hyuga Asana's first time being carried in a princess carry. The bright moonlight shone on Uchiha En's face, and Hyuga Asana's heart beat uncontrollably faster as she looked at his profile.
She hesitated for a moment, then rested her face against Uchiha En's chest.
In the past, she didn't dare to hope because of the Caged Bird Seal, but now, with the evolution of her Byakugan, the Caged Bird Seal was clearly weakened.
"No matter what happens in the future, at least let me lean on you today!"
Uchiha En treated Hyuga Asana to a yakiniku meal that cost nearly 200,000 ryo. Hyuga Asana alone ate the equivalent of 7 or 8 people's portions.
Uchiha En was stunned; he had never realized Hyuga Asana could eat so much.
After eating a large amount of meat, Hyuga Asana's life aura rapidly grew stronger, and Uchiha En could clearly sense her Chakra increasing quickly.
"Asana, you..."
"I definitely have to confirm that the things I use for you are safe first," Hyuga Asana replied with a smile.
Uchiha En's heart trembled upon hearing the girl's reply, and an inexplicable emotion spread within him.
Hyuga Asana's seemingly simple answer likely hid a lot of suffering.
"Asana, I will definitely help you break the Caged Bird Seal," Uchiha En thought to himself.
After leaving the yakiniku restaurant, the two parted ways as usual.
Uchiha En returned to the Uchiha Clan compound.
After half a year of word games, Uchiha En's current stats were as follows:
Chakra: 439
Physique: 233
Dōjutsu Power: 999
Vitality: 44
Nature Affinity: 4
Level: lv48 (52/70)
Attribute Points: 0
He was only 1 attribute point away from 1000 Dōjutsu Power, meaning that after today's word game, Uchiha En would be able to activate his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Uchiha En slowly closed his eyes and spun the wheel. After a familiar special effect, rows of text appeared:
"You have logged into the One Piece World."
"You were born on the Grand Line."
"When you were three, your parents were killed by pirates, and you became an orphan."
"Due to your excellent physical constitution, you were targeted by human traffickers."
"The human traffickers abducted you and sold you to the World Government."
"You became a reserve member of the CP organization."
"For the next fifteen years, you underwent various inhuman trainings. As your strength increased, you were selected to become one of the members of CP9."
"Your teammate in CP9 was Rob Lucci, the strongest rookie of your generation, and he was also a Devil Fruit user. You were assigned to Water 7 to search for the Ancient Weapon Pluton's blueprints."
"After years of surveillance, you confirmed that Pluton was in the hands of Iceburg, the mayor of Water 7."
"Coincidentally, you also encountered the World Government's thorn in its side, Nico Robin, the 'Devil Child' who could decipher Poneglyphs."
"You brought her back to Enies Lobby."
"Unexpectedly, her companions, the Straw Hat Pirates, pursued you."
"These defeated foes seemed like mere ants that you could easily deal with."
"But this time you lost. Nico Robin was rescued, and Enies Lobby was wiped out by a Buster Call."
"You barely escaped Enies Lobby, but then you were immediately hunted by the World Government."
"While escaping, you tried to earn money to treat Lucci's injuries."
"After Lucci recovered, he was unwilling to accept defeat and constantly honed himself."
"After you defeated the pursuing CP0, the World Government offered you amnesty, and you became the new CP0."
"You were somewhat unwilling; you didn't want to work for the World Government anymore, but your companions all went, so you had no choice but to follow."
"Afterward, you all did many dirty jobs for the World Government. This time, you were assigned the task of eliminating Vegapunk."
"But to your surprise, as soon as you landed on Vegapunk's island, you encountered the Straw Hat Pirates, who had already become a Yonko crew."
"Lucci used his Devil Fruit Awakening but was easily defeated by Straw Hat. Kaku also used his Devil Fruit Awakening but was suppressed by Zoro."
"Just as you were about to help, Stussy, who had been following behind, pierced your heart with a Finger Pistol."
"In your dying moments, you heard Stussy's words: 'The World Government doesn't need disobedient dogs. Rest in peace!'"
"You died."
"Game over."
"Obtained Attribute Points x2, obtained Character Game Character Ability Draw Opportunity x1."
Uchiha En sighed. This death was still as unique as ever; he was actually backstabbed by his own people.
Then, Uchiha En chose to draw. A small spinning wheel appeared out of thin air, evenly divided into over thirty small grids.
The grids contained firearms, martial arts, personal assets.
Uchiha En quickly scanned it. After all, CP0 members knew quite a lot.
Uchiha En casually spun the wheel. After about ten seconds, the wheel slowly stopped on a grid.
"Congratulations, you have obtained Rokushiki Cultivation Technique."
"Cultivation Technique? Didn't it always just let me learn the skill directly before? Why is it a cultivation technique this time?" Uchiha En thought to himself.
Then, Uchiha En chose to claim it. He opened the Rokushiki Cultivation Technique and quickly browsed through it, his eyes lighting up. This cultivation technique was much more useful than directly learning Rokushiki.
With this cultivation technique, Uchiha En could teach Rokushiki to other members of the Uchiha Clan.
However, Uchiha En didn't have time for that right now. He added the two attribute points to his Dōjutsu Power.
The next second, the Three Tomoe in Uchiha En's pupils spun wildly, then connected into one, finally forming a six-pointed star pattern.
Uchiha En's Mangekyo Sharingan had awakened!
