"Absolute favorability?"
Upon hearing the system prompt, Zhang Miao squinted.
"As long as the word 'absolute' is involved, I will surely obtain a fixed amount of Ninja Fragment every time. Even if Itachi didn't ask, I intended to resurrect Aunt Mikoto. Now that he voluntarily asked, it's a gift handed to me for free. What's there to hesitate about?"
With this in mind, Zhang Miao immediately nodded to Itachi.
"Alright, I agree to this. I will resurrect your parents, and I don't need you to pay any price. I'm helping you this time, so our past relationship would no be in vain. Alright, leave now. Leave Konoha immediately and never return!"
"Alright!" Upon hearing Zhang Miao's words, Itachi immediately nodded. "Then, I'll leave everything to you!"
After saying this, Itachi's body turned into a group of crows. While croaking, he flew in all directions and soon vanished without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao sneered contemptuously.
"Isn't it just genjutsu combined with Body Flicker Jutsu? Playing this trick in front of me, hmph..."
After saying this, Zhang Miao made a rude gesture toward the sky, then turned and walked into the Fugaku's house.
Inside, Zhang Miao surveyed the surroundings and found that Fugaku's courtyard was as tidy and clean as usual, without any signs of a fight.
"It seems that, like in the original plot, Fugaku didn't resist at all before facing his death. Oh well, what's done is done!"
With this in mind, Zhang Miao sighed in his heart and then stepped into Fugaku's usual room.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Miao smelled a strong scent of blood. He immediately turned his body sideways and pulled the door slightly. By the moonlight shining into the room, he saw the scene inside.
The room was as usual, except that in the middle of the room lay two people—or more accurately, two corpses.
Fugaku, wearing a robe, was sprawled on the ground, while Mikoto lay atop him. Both had massive wounds on their backs, and bloodstains on the ground extended from the middle of the room to the doorway, still not completely dry due to the short time.
Seeing everything in front of him, Zhang Miao immediately closed his eyes, then took a long sigh.
"Ah, poor Aunt Mikoto. Look at what husband you married, what son you gave birth to. What a tragedy!"
While saying this, Zhang Miao shook his head and then walked up to Mikoto, placing his hand on the wound on her back.
"Fortunately, you met me. Although I'm a bit late, it's better than not coming at all. One's Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu!!"
As Zhang Miao's voice sounded, his hands immediately emitted a green light. As these lights appeared, the wound on Mikoto's back began to heal rapidly.
When the green light disappeared from Zhang Miao's hands, Mikoto's wound had completely healed, and the system prompt sounded again in his mind.
"Ding! 400 pieces of ordinary ninja fragments has been consumed. One's Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu completed. Mikoto has regained her life!"
As the system prompt ended, Mikoto slowly got up from Fugaku's body, then looked at Zhang Miao with some guilt.
"Oh, Your Holiness, we've troubled you. We're truly sorry!"
After speaking, Mikoto bowed to Zhang Miao, and seeing this, Zhang Miao quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Aunt Mikoto, no need for such formality. Since antiquity people would seek opportunities to repay a meal they received. I'm not just accepting one meal from you, so it's only right that I save you. You don't have to be polite!"
"But..."
Mikoto clearly wanted to say something more, but Zhang Miao didn't give her the chance, directly interrupting her.
"No buts. Aunt Mikoto, if you have something to say, wait a while. Let me revive Uncle Fugaku first!"
With that, Zhang Miao immediately placed his hand on Fugaku's back, silently reciting in his mind.
"One's Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu!"
The process of reviving Fugaku was similar to reviving Mikoto, except it consumed a few more ordinary ninja fragments.
"Ding! 1600 pieces of ordinary ninja fragments has been consumed. One's Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu completed. Fugaku has regained his life!"
As this system sound rang out, Fugaku also opened his eyes again, then climbed up from the ground and knelt in front of Zhang Miao.
"Thank you for the grace, Your Holiness. From now on, Fugaku is willing to serve under the Nether King!"
Seeing Fugaku's respectful attitude, Zhang Miao raised an eyebrow first, then nodded.
"Alright, since you've said so, then I won't be polite. How about this, go to the door and bleat a hundred times. The voice should be loud, the emotions passionate. You must convey the joy and majesty of a revived sheep. Go!"
Fugaku: "..."
"Damn, I've already died once. Why can't I escape the fate of being dominated by the usual bleats?"
Fugaku felt miserable, but as a revived person, he couldn't disobey Zhang Miao's command. So, with a face of grief and indignation, he walked to the door and shouted to the sky.
"Baa... Baa... Baa..."
The sound was loud, echoing throughout the surroundings.
When Fugaku's sonorous sheep call echoed, the system prompt also sounded in Zhang Miao's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to His Holiness for obtaining 7-star Kage-level, Uchiha Fugaku Ninja Fragment x10!"
""Ding! Congratulations to His Holiness for obtaining 5-star Jonin, Uchiha Mikoto Ninja Fragment x10!"
""Ding! Congratulations to His Holiness for fulfilling the promise to Uchiha Itachi, gaining absolute his favor, and henceforth. Obtained 7-star Kage-level, Uchiha Itachi Ninja Fragment x10!"
Upon hearing the last system prompt, Zhang Miao immediately turned his head and saw a pitch-black crow flapping its wings atop the tree in the middle of the courtyard, flying away into the distance.
Witnessing this scene, a smirk formed at the corner of Zhang Miao's mouth.
"Didn't expect this "Parents-Killer" Itachi to leave this ace up his sleeve. Well, it saves me a lot of trouble!"
Thinking this, in a great mood, Zhang Miao walked to the door and stopped Fugaku, who was still bleating wildly.
"Alright, alright, Uncle Fugaku, can you stop now? I know you're happy, but be careful not to attract the wolves!"
Fugaku: "..."
"Damn it, am I really happy? Where did you hear that I'm happy?"
Although a bit displeased, facing the Nether King who revived him, Fugaku could only lower his head respectfully.
"I understand, Your Holiness!"
Seeing Fugaku's attitude, Zhang Miao nodded in satisfaction again, grinning widely.
"Haha, Uncle Fugaku, no need to be so formal. We're like family. Alright, enough small talk. Right now, immediately leave Konoha for the Land of Waves with Aunt Mikoto. There will be arrangements for you there. Go!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
After hearing Zhang Miao's words, both Fugaku and Mikoto responded and then left the house together, heading towards the distance.
Both of them were ninjas, so their movements were naturally swift. They soon disappeared into the night. Seeing their vanishing figures, Zhang Miao narrowed his eyes, a trace of a smile crossing his face.
"Next, it's time to reap the rewards!"
Thinking this, Zhang Miao immediately formed a hand seal with one hand while shouting lowly, "Ownerless objects, come to the worthy! Heed my call!"
As Zhang Miao shouted, a series of explosions echoed around him, and white smoke suddenly erupted. When the smoke cleared, hundreds of individuals exactly resembling Zhang Miao appeared in the same spot.
Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!
At this moment, Zhang Miao employed the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu. With his current status, his total chakra was not much inferior to the legendary "God of Shinobi," Hashirama Senju!
Having so much chakra, creating hundreds of clones was effortless for him.
Seeing the numerous clones around him, Zhang Miao smiled in satisfaction once more, then waved his hand.
"Brothers, as the saying goes, raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a moment. Today is the time to employ you all. The Uchiha clan's gathering place is now ownerless. I command you to find all the valuable items here and bring them to me. Let those dirty politicians in Konoha drink our bathwater! Now, I declare, start the raid!"
