In the early morning, Yoichi woke up, remembering that he still had to complete the missions involving Kusagakure and Takigakure.
He carefully moved Mikoto's long legs off him and thought to himself, 'This bed is a bit small. I need to get a bigger one soon!'
After getting dressed, he quietly went downstairs. Last night, he only got an hour of sleep. Mina had fallen asleep early, but he and Mikoto didn't go to bed until almost dawn. To avoid waking Mina, Mikoto had to cover her mouth tightly.
As Yoichi descended the stairs, he saw Yugito yawning and emerging from her room.
"Train well. I'm leaving the village for a mission. I've informed the clan, and Mikoto will supervise your training when she has time," Yoichi said. He grabbed some food from the fridge, ate quickly, and then took his blade, Raijin, before heading out.
In the yard, he noticed Gates lounging around. This creature was living the good life, getting a magic goat every two days and absorbing natural energy. It spent its time eating, sleeping, and occasionally playing in the Forest of Death.
Seeing Gates made Yoichi think about finding a flying summon to save travel time.
"I've accumulated seven chances to draw new abilities. I can already exchange for two half-month abilities. No need to save them any longer; let's see if I can get something new."
While on the road, Yoichi opened the ability wheel and decided to use his chances.
"Draw!"
[Cosplay]: Randomly appear as three characters. Choose one to mimic for a month. Afterward, you can draw one of the character's abilities. The strength and completeness of the ability depend on the quality of your mimicry.
"Mimicry for abilities? Interesting. Just a month, but it's random. I hope for powerful characters; otherwise, it'll be useless."
Yoichi pressed the random character button, and three character slots began spinning. Finally, they stopped at:
Buggy the Clown, Tony Stark, and Yaochen. (Yaochen is from BTTH)
Yoichi sighed with mixed feelings. He was relieved they were all capable characters but disappointed they weren't quite what he had hoped for.
Below each character were the types of abilities he could acquire: Buggy offered one, Tony Stark four, and Yaochen two.
Buggy's Bara Bara no Mi allowed him to split his body and control the parts within 200 meters. Despite its strength, Yoichi was hesitant to portray a clown for a month.
Tony Stark, a genius inventor, had abilities including invention, management, fighting, and flirting. His invention skills were intriguing, but acquiring them wasn't guaranteed.
Yaochen's abilities were more straightforward: alchemy and combat. As a peak Dou Zun, Yaochen's combat skills alone were valuable, not to mention his alchemy prowess.
While traveling, Yoichi deliberated. He eliminated Buggy, deciding against the Bara Bara no Mi. Although strong, it wasn't necessary for his power set.
Stark's invention skills could advance ninja technology, but with multiple abilities, there was no guarantee of acquiring the invention talent.
Yaochen seemed the best choice. His alchemy would be immensely beneficial, and his combat skills would be a solid fallback. The ninja world had herbs that could be turned into useful pills by an alchemy master.
But how to mimic Yaochen effectively? Teaching an apprentice was the key. Yaochen had tutored Xiao Yan, nurturing him carefully.
"Who in the ninja world could be my apprentice? Someone talented yet struggling... Ah, Haku and Kimimaro in the Land of Water should be about the right age. Both are talented but lost in purpose."
Yoichi decided to solve the issues with Kusagakure and Takigakure first, then head to the Land of Water.
He split off a wood clone and had it carry a Flying Thunder God marker to the border of the Land of Fire. After completing his current missions, he could teleport there directly.
Four days after Yoichi's departure, the village received news from Kusagakure. Ten days later, news came from Takigakure.
The Anbu's reports shocked even the Fourth Hokage, Sakumo. Yoichi had boldly entered Kusagakure, killing many ninjas before the leader surrendered.
Although no civilians died, many Kusagakure ninjas hid behind them in fear.
Yoichi forced the leader to sign a defeat treaty. When the leader hesitated, Yoichi beheaded him and found the next highest-ranking ninja. This caused even more casualties as Kusagakure resisted.
In the end, the fourth highest-ranking ninja signed the treaty after watching many comrades die. Yoichi left, warning them that next time he wouldn't be so merciful.
He sent the signed treaty with an Anbu to Konoha, while he moved on to Takigakure.
Takigakure's resistance was stronger, leveraging the Hero Water to boost their chakra. However, against Yoichi's speed and power, they stood no chance. Two or three hours of fighting left many dead before Takigakure surrendered.
Yoichi even extracted tailed beast chakra from Takigakure's new Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and left a Flying Thunder God marker for future use. He also took some Hero Water for Orochimaru to study.
After Yoichi left, Takigakure mourned like Kusagakure, having gambled and lost against Konoha.
The treaties brought back to Konoha pleased Sakumo, despite the initial shock. They offered significant benefits, and he wasn't worried about the villages backing out. If they did, he would go with Yoichi next time.
Sakumo held a Jonin meeting, sharing the details of the missions and treaties. The Jonin were both shocked by Yoichi's power and pleased by the beneficial treaties.
The treaties included surrender terms, compensation, mission commissions, and limiting ninja numbers. Details would be finalized when the village leaders came to Konoha.
At the meeting, Hiruzen asked, "Fourth Hokage, has Yoichi returned?"
"Not yet. He discovered something interesting and applied for a mission. I approved it for the village's benefit. He should return in about half a month," Sakumo replied. Hiruzen didn't pursue further.
After the meeting, Sakumo spread the news of the treaties throughout Konoha. To enemies, Yoichi was a fearsome demon, but to Konoha, he was a protector.
The Uchiha clan's reputation soared, and their businesses thrived, supported by grateful villagers.
When Uchiha Jin shared the news with Mina, Yugito overheard. Realizing Yoichi would return late, she pouted, vowing never to massage his back again.
