Thanks!
Take Sakumo Hatake, for example, the White Fang of the Leaf, kakashi hatake’s father, and once the leader of the Anbu.
A Hokage-level powerhouse, and yet because the strength and accomplishments were too great, because that presence threatened Hiruzen Sarutobi’s rule and Danzō Shimura’s standing, Sakumo Hatake died by suicide amid rumors and public condemnation.
Then there was Shisui Uchiha, a genius of the Uchiha Clan who, upon awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, had without question already reached Hokage-level combat ability.
To say nothing of the Mangekyō’s most terrifying power, Kotoamatsukami…
And yet what a waste.
A genius like that, killed by Danzō Shimura in a sneak attack.
Even one of the eyes had been gouged out.
Itachi Uchiha became a blade in the hands of Konoha’s higher-ups, slaughtered the clan’s own people, and was driven out of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Sure, that one had lost all humanity and been thoroughly brainwashed, but there was no denying that Itachi Uchiha also possessed undeniable Hokage-level combat ability.
Then there was Hizashi Hyūga, Neji Hyūga’s father.
That branch family head of the Hyūga Clan was probably on par with the older sibling, Hiashi Hyūga, in terms of strength.
And yet the death was almost laughably pathetic…
The weakness of Hiruzen Sarutobi had cost the Hidden Leaf Village yet another powerful figure.
Then there was Tsunade, who left the village in heartbreak and despair.
Orochimaru, who defected from the Hidden Leaf Village after the human experimentation was exposed.
And Jiraiya, who wandered the Shinobi World in search of a dear friend and the legendary Child of Prophecy…
And then there was Fugaku Uchiha, head of the Uchiha Clan, a figure from the same era as minato namikaze, who in all likelihood had already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan as well.
Every single one of these people possessed strength approaching Hokage level, or simply was at Hokage level outright.
And yet every one of them either died or left.
Not to mention the Uchiha Clan being wiped out entirely.
The Uchiha had been the Hidden Leaf Village’s absolute peak combat force.
Thinking about it now, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzō Shimura really hadn’t done a single decent thing…
Hirofumi Ito’s thoughts had drifted quite far.
He’d just been saying he wanted to give Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki a surprise, and somehow his mind had wandered straight to every powerful figure the Hidden Leaf Village had once possessed. Visit NovelPing for the full chapter.
After hearing all of that, both Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki fell completely silent.
Neither of them had a normal personality, but that didn’t make either of them stupid.
Even Naruto Uzumaki had picked up on what Hirofumi Ito was actually saying.
Spending money to grow stronger wasn’t the biggest secret.
The thing that could bring the two of them a real surprise, that was probably the true secret.
If that secret ever got out, the trouble it would bring down on Hirofumi Ito would be catastrophic.
With that thought, Sasuke Uchiha didn’t press any further.
Just stood up and walked straight into the bedroom.
A moment later, Sasuke Uchiha came back out carrying a large chest.
“Hirofumi! Whatever you’re going to do, I believe in you. And that surprise you mentioned — I’m looking forward to it! I did inherit the full estate of the Uchiha Clan, but honestly, the most valuable parts are the buildings and the land itself. So in terms of actual cash, this is all there is — five hundred million ryo in total! I kept a bit for daily spending, but all five hundred million ryo can go to you. If the clan’s land and buildings were sold off, they’d probably fetch another five or six hundred million. And there are the ninjutsu scrolls and things left behind — those could sell for something too… If you need it…”
Sasuke Uchiha had been about to say that if Hirofumi Ito needed it, the land could be sold in portions, or the ninjutsu scrolls put up for sale as well.
The words never got finished.
Hirofumi Ito cut in before they could.
“That’s enough! Sasuke! I never imagined you would trust me this much…”
Hirofumi Ito was genuinely moved.
Sasuke Uchiha was actually willing to sell off the entire inheritance of the Uchiha Clan for his sake.
If he didn’t give Sasuke Uchiha a perfect family back someday, he truly wouldn’t be worthy of that trust.
And everything that was going to happen in the future, he had to do everything in his power to change it.
“What are you talking about? Aren’t we friends? And I really can’t use all this money anyway. Keeping ten or twenty million for everyday spending is more than enough.”
Sasuke Uchiha said it with a thoroughly cool, nonchalant air.
“Don’t worry, Sasuke! I will definitely give you a huge surprise down the line! I know what your goal is. I know what the greatest wound in your heart is.”
Sasuke Uchiha assumed Hirofumi Ito meant that once the strength was there, help with the revenge would follow.
“No need. I’ll handle the revenge myself. That man, I have to kill him with my own hands!”
“No. That’s not what I’m talking about. I believe you’ll take revenge with your own hands, what I’m referring to is something else entirely. Either way, it’s too early to talk about it now. Trust me, you’ll both know when the time comes. That includes you, Naruto Uzumaki. It won’t be long!”
Hirofumi Ito looked at the large chest of ryo sitting in front of him, and something hot blazed to life in his chest.
With five hundred million as startup capital, he could summon five Hokage-level powerhouses. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
And more importantly, he could extract one ability from each of them.
Of course, he could also skip the Hokage-level route entirely and summon fifty elite jonin instead.
But no matter how he ran the numbers, five Hokage-level powerhouses was the far better deal.
Elite jonin were elite jonin.
Forget fifty, even a hundred of them couldn’t take down five Hokage-level powerhouses.
And there were differences even among Hokage-level powerhouses.
Someone like madara uchiha could wipe out fifty elite jonin without breaking a sweat.
If he actually pulled hashirama senju out of this, that would be an absolute jackpot!
He’d said what needed to be said to Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
Hirofumi Ito placed his hand directly on the chest of ryo.
“System! I want to recharge!”
[Five hundred million ryo detected. Recharge in full?]
“Yes!”
[Recharge successful! Congratulations, Host, you have received five hundred million Wealth Value!]
[Summoning System Host: Hirofumi Ito Wealth Value: 500,000,000 White Summon: 0 Green Summon: 0 Blue Summon: 0 Purple Summon: 0 Gold Summon: 0]
“System! Use five hundred million Wealth Value to exchange for five Gold Summons!”
[Congratulations, Host, exchange successful! Gold Summon count increased by five!]
Hirofumi Ito watched the five hundred million Wealth Value vanish from the panel without a trace.
The number after Gold Summon ticked from zero to five.
Five Hokage-level powerhouses.
That was what he had now.
Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki both stood there with their eyes blown wide.
“The money… all that money… it’s gone!”
Naruto Uzumaki shouted in disbelief, grabbed the chest, and shook it with everything he had, but sure enough, not a single ryo remained inside.
