Chapter 163: Invitation and Spending
"Uchiha Fugaku, Itachi and Sasuke's dad?"
Li Jiexuan froze for a moment. In the world of Naruto, this guy could be considered an important figure. As long as the seed was good, both his sons turned out incredibly capable. But what did that have to do with the Intelligence Division of the Anbu?
"It's like this—because of Uchiha Madara. The relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan hasn't been very harmonious." The panda-masked Anbu lowered his voice. "So Lord Hokage ordered us to secretly keep an eye on information regarding the Uchiha clan!"
Hearing that, Li Jiexuan's eyes widened. So Konoha's surveillance of the Uchiha had already begun this early? To be precise, it had never stopped. Senju Tobirama was absolutely anti-Uchiha!
...
As soon as he stepped out of the Anbu headquarters, Hyuga Yizhen and Uchiha Yuuya blocked Li Jiexuan's path.
"Captain Jiexuan, that wasn't very fair of you. Why did you take Orochimaru on the mission and not me?" Hyuga Yizhen complained with a grin.
Before Li Jiexuan could respond, Uchiha Yuuya snorted irritably. "You've got some nerve talking. Last mission you snuck off and ended up gaining such powerful strength!"
Uchiha Yuuya had been eyeing Hyuga Yizhen's Cursed Seal of Heaven for quite some time…
Might Guy, standing nearby, also chimed in, "Little Jiexuan, if there's anything we can help with next time, make sure you call on us!"
Only after Li Jiexuan gave his word repeatedly did they finally let him go. Unexpectedly, the one who stayed behind last was Uchiha Yuuya—the one who had the most ordinary relationship with Li Jiexuan. Somewhat shyly, he pulled out an invitation.
"Our clan leader just had his first child. We hope you can attend the banquet." Uchiha Yuuya looked a little nervous.
Li Jiexuan's status as an Anbu captain had already spread among Konoha's upper ranks. However, most people were still unfamiliar with this rising star and had no way to build connections with him…
In that sense, Uchiha Yuuya's relationship with Li Jiexuan was especially important to the Uchiha clan!
Taking the invitation, Li Jiexuan smiled and shook his head. "The world really is full of coincidences. I just received news, and now the invitation's already in my hands."
"So you're willing to go?" Uchiha Yuuya asked excitedly.
"Of course." Li Jiexuan was a little speechless. He had already accepted the invitation—did the answer even need to be stated? Uchiha Yuuya was still as slow to react as ever.
As for attending the banquet, the very thought of it was amusing…
He could already imagine it—years from now, he'd swagger into the Uchiha clan as a big shot and say in front of Itachi and Sasuke: "Hahaha! Back then, I watched your dad grow up. I even held him in my arms!"
Just thinking about it was exciting!
A tiny, mischievous pleasure unique to a transmigrator. Li Jiexuan chuckled and shook his head. There was still some time before the date written on the invitation. In the meantime, there were a few things he could take care of.
Namely—spending!
Over this period, after completing missions big and small, Li Jiexuan had accumulated a considerable number of points—an astonishing 180,000 in total!
The vast majority of this unprecedented fortune came from several Kage-level missions. The rest came from smaller assignments, including the points earned after Hyuga Yizhen and Orochimaru completed their missions. On average, Orochimaru and Hyuga Yizhen now provided Li Jiexuan with a thousand points per day…
The 50,000-point Ice Release Bloodline Limit naturally went without saying. Using it to further enhance Ice Release and stack it with Ice Age was definitely not a bad deal. As for how to spend the remaining points, Li Jiexuan found himself at a loss.
Thirteen thousand for a Gundam was obviously out of the question!
As for the bloodline limits in the Naruto world, they were either too expensive or completely useless for the current Li Jiexuan. But buying items from other anime worlds required careful consideration of cost-effectiveness…
For a moment, Li Jiexuan was completely trapped in the agony of decision paralysis.
What he didn't notice, however, was that time was passing by second after second…
