Orochimaru, after learning the full story, had come to terms with it…
After all, life's like that—if you can't fight it, you might as well enjoy it!
This place was full of weirdness, and this Hirofumi Ito guy clearly had some massive secrets. For Orochimaru, that was like catnip for a scientist! The idea of not digging into it was worse than death itself.
And to top it off, there were two legendary ninjas here—the God of Shinobi and the Demon of the Shinobi World. If he could just get a sample of their cells for his experiments, that'd be the ultimate jackpot!
Successfully summoning Orochimaru and making him a summoning beast, Hirofumi also managed to snag a ninjutsu from him.
But, to be honest, this ninjutsu was pretty useless to him…
Impure World Reincarnation!
If he didn't have the system, this jutsu might've been something he'd want to learn. But for the current Hirofumi? Total garbage!
Who was he supposed to reincarnate with it?
His summoning space was already packed with living powerhouses. Why would he bother messing around with some defective zombie knockoffs?
Still, better than nothing, he supposed…
Even if it was basically useless.
With everyone gathered around, Hirofumi didn't hesitate. He exchanged for his ninth golden summoning from the system and cast the jutsu again!
Uchiha Fugaku stood off to the side, looking pitiful.
"This time's gotta work, right?! My wife's gotta show up this time, right?!"
Honestly, Hirofumi was thinking the same thing. After all, it seemed like Konoha didn't have any known Hokage-level fighters left!
But what no one noticed was the quick glance exchanged between Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju. Their expressions were… odd.
Because both of them had just thought of someone from their era…
Someone who'd also helped found Konoha!
His name? Hyuga Tennin.
If you went by Hirofumi's strength-tier system, this guy would probably qualify as a Hokage-level shinobi…
Sure, he wasn't on par with Madara or Hashirama, but he wasn't weak either. Taking down regular elite jonin? No problem.
Plus, he was once the head of the Hyuga clan.
So, that meant there were probably two Hokage-level souls left: Uchiha Mikoto and Hyuga Tennin…
There's no way Mikoto wouldn't show up this time, right?!
Thinking this, Hashirama and Madara's faces grew even weirder, and they watched Hirofumi's summoning jutsu with a mix of curiosity and anticipation.
"Summoning Jutsu!!!"
"Damn it!!!"
Fugaku let out a wail that could shake the heavens!
Why?!
Why?!
Why was the universe so dead-set against him?!
Why wouldn't his wife just show up?!
And where the heck did this Byakugan-wielding Hyuga come from?!
Son of a—!
No!
No!!
As Fugaku collapsed to his knees, Hirofumi softly opened his mouth and started… singing?
"Snowflakes falling gently~~
The north wind howling~~"
Off to the side, Madara and Hashirama were barely holding back their laughter. They'd had a hunch, and sure enough, Hyuga Tennin actually showed up!
The newly revived Tennin was completely lost, not even sure what was happening, when Hashirama and Madara dragged him off to explain the situation.
Hirofumi, meanwhile, was dumbfounded. Was Uchiha Mikoto really that unwilling to show up?!
And then there was Hyuga Tennin, a ninja who never appeared in the original story, yet apparently had Hokage-level strength…
He'd heard from Neji Hyuga before that the Hyuga clan's ancestor from the Warring States period was named Tennin—a genius ninja!
But he never would've guessed the guy had Hokage-level power.
And then the system's notification left Hirofumi even more stunned…
[Congratulations, Host, for successfully summoning the soul and gaining the summoning beast Hyuga Tennin!
Now extracting a random ability from the target!
Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Byakugan!
The Byakugan has been integrated into the Host's body!]
He couldn't believe it—he'd just unlocked the Byakugan! Now he had both of the Naruto world's iconic dojutsu: the Sharingan and the Byakugan!
The Sharingan's ultimate form was the Rinnegan, and the Byakugan's was the Tenseigan. So now that he had both, what the heck would his eyes' ultimate form be?!
A Rinne-Tenseigan?! Or maybe a Tensei-Rinnegan?!
This was getting way too wild…
First, he'd somehow ended up with both Indra and Asura's chakra. Now, he had both the Sharingan and Byakugan in his eyes!
Back at the ninja academy, during a spar, Naruto Uzumaki had once wondered what kind of eyes a kid of Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga would have.
And now… was he that kid?!
On top of that, since he had both Indra and Asura's chakra, didn't that technically make him the equivalent of Naruto and Sasuke's kid too?!
This was getting beyond ridiculous!!
Damn it!!
Meanwhile, Fugaku felt like his life had lost all meaning.
Out of fourteen chances, nine were already gone, and his wife still hadn't shown up!
What if some other random ninja popped up next?!
At this point, Fugaku was even mentally preparing to go out and rob more money to keep this going…
Hirofumi, on the other hand, was curious. He wanted to see just when Uchiha Mikoto would finally appear!
After all, he'd promised Sasuke he'd bring his mom back. Sasuke would be heartbroken if he failed!
When Sasuke had lent him five billion without batting an eye, how could Hirofumi not deliver on something as simple as this?!
"Screw it! System!! Exchange another golden summoning!!"
"Summoning Jutsu!!!"
As the figure slowly emerged from the golden summoning circle, Hirofumi let out a long sigh of relief…
Uchiha Mikoto had finally appeared!
Was there actually a guaranteed pull after ten summons?!
It took a whopping ten tries to get Uchiha Mikoto! She was harder to pull than Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha—and Madara had been a freebie from the system!
Fugaku, who'd given up all hope, stared tearfully at the figure he'd been dreaming of day and night…
"My wife!!! My darling wife!!! You're finally here!!!!"
With red-rimmed eyes and lips swollen like a burger, Fugaku zoomed right up to Mikoto!
Mikoto, who'd just opened her eyes, saw a pig-headed monster right in her face!
"Aaaaah!!! Monster!!! Die!!!"
BOOM!!!
Fugaku was sent flying in an instant.
But even as he soared through the air, he was still blissfully shouting…
"Ah~~~~ My wife~~~~ Your little fists are still so strong~~~~"
