Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 40: Dream

"Haruno Sakura's" manuscript content was quite mixed. It included the riddles from that day, some interesting jokes from her memory, and even riddles without answers like "What has six legs when it goes into an alley and two legs when it comes out" just to pad the word count.

Riddles alone definitely weren't enough content. Sasuke's hobbies, such as liking girls with long hair, liking girls who wore "arm warmers", liking "girls" with the surname Uzumaki, his height, weight, birthday, blood type, all the information Ino had collected, regardless of whether it was true or not, was all included.

There was a lot of densely packed information, plus seven or eight photos. A large volume was impossible, but it was enough for a small booklet.

If there was a chance in the future, she could add some life photos and release a few deluxe and collector's editions...

"Haruno Sakura" said very seriously: "Our association just wants to publish a book for Sasuke-kun, so that more people can understand Sasuke-kun."

In the end, she even bowed earnestly: "Please!"

The clerk had lived in Konoha for many years and knew the Uchiha clan and the name Uchiha Sasuke.

He roughly flipped through the manuscript and didn't dare to make the decision himself, so he hurriedly went to ask the boss.

The boss talked with "Haruno Sakura" and found that this matter was harmless and even beneficial to him.

The manuscript was full of interesting content. It wouldn't make a fortune, but at least it wouldn't lose money.

The boss of "Shueisha" was an old resident of Konoha and knew the Third Hokage and the others.

Although he wasn't a ninja, he had connections in all aspects after living in the village for so many years. If those red-eyed Uchiha were still alive, he definitely wouldn't dare to provoke them, but now? They were all dead, what was he afraid of!

"We can publish this book, but the price needs to be discussed further."

An hour later, Ino left Shueisha with a manuscript fee of fifty thousand ryo.

The manuscript was completely bought out. How it would be published and distributed afterwards, even if Shueisha sold the book to the Land of Rain, sold it to Uchiha Itachi, had nothing to do with her.

She just wanted to make a quick buck and give her classmate Sakura a black mark by the way.

Books needed to be typeset, printed, and finally sold to various countries. The cycle was very long, and the energy increase in the black pot was very slow. Ino didn't care too much, this was originally a gradual process, there was no rush.

In a cave outside Konoha Village, Kakashi had tried many methods, but he still couldn't make Sasuke bypass the seal and awaken his Sharingan.

The reason was still that the Uchiha clan's chakra was relatively small, and now part of it was sealed, so the chakra that could be used to awaken the eyes was even less. This small amount of chakra, performing the so-called "bypassing" the seal operation, was very difficult for Sasuke, whose chakra control was average.

Once the chakra was used up, he would die! Kakashi didn't dare to let him practice recklessly. Now Sasuke couldn't even attempt it a few times before he had to stop and rest, so the efficiency was very slow.

During this period of time together, Kakashi had also developed some approval for this Uchiha child. Strong, smart, hardworking, kind-hearted, except for being too stubborn and inflexible, he was very good in other aspects.

Originally, he mostly had the idea of repaying Obito Uchiha's favor. It was fine if Sasuke awakened his eyes, it didn't matter if he didn't, as long as he tried his best, it would be over. But after seeing Sasuke's persistence, his battered heart was somewhat moved.

After Sasuke fainted from training again, he walked out of the cave.

Outside the cave stood a tall man with white hair, wearing a red haori and wooden clogs.

The man wore a forehead protector with the character "oil" on it, standing at the entrance of the cave, overlooking Konoha Village not far away.

"Jiraiya-sama." Kakashi walked out of the cave: "Thank you for coming in person."

Jiraiya actually didn't want to get involved in this matter. He had no friendship with the Uchiha clan, and the life or death of some orphan had nothing to do with him.

But Kakashi was his disciple's disciple. Since he had specifically asked, for the sake of this connection, he had to help.

He examined Sasuke's eyes and the seal. Jiraiya was in his fifties and was definitely considered an old man in the precarious ninja world. He had dabbled in all kinds of ninjutsu.

He could understand most things with just a glance.

His conclusion was very accurate: "The old man's seal isn't very strong. He probably doesn't want this child to give up the path of a ninja either. Do you want me to undo this seal?"

Kakashi shook his head: "Jiraiya-sama, I tried to use genjutsu to stimulate Sasuke's spiritual energy, then bypass the seal and try to awaken his eyes, but the effect wasn't great. Sasuke's controllable chakra is too little now. I hope you can help to undo part of the seal, release Sasuke's chakra, and then try to awaken his eyes again."

Jiraiya scratched his head hard.

This matter wasn't dangerous, it was just troublesome, very troublesome.

The seal couldn't be completely undone. If it was, that peculiar ocular power had a high chance of directly destroying Sasuke's eyes and even endangering his life. He had to first undo 10% of the seal, then let Sasuke try, see how much chakra was released, see if he could awaken his eyes. If he could, great, if he couldn't, then undo 20% of the seal, and then try again! If it still didn't work, then undo 30%. If too much was released, then he would have to seal part of it back.

The Third Hokage could actually do this, but Kakashi wouldn't bother the Hokage with such a trivial matter. The Third Hokage couldn't possibly give up his official duties and spend a lot of time accompanying him to do experiments. Uchiha Sasuke wasn't worth it, and Kakashi didn't have that much face.

Now he could only set his sights on Jiraiya, who had nothing to do all day and wandered around...

Jiraiya sighed heavily: "Alright, alright, who made you Minato's disciple... Wake him up, I'll undo the Five Elements Seal. Oh right, if this kid asks, don't reveal my identity, I'm worried he'll ask me for an autograph."

Kakashi chuckled twice and didn't respond to this topic.

After Jiraiya joined, Sasuke's progress in awakening his eyes obviously accelerated. The sealed chakra flowed back into his body's chakra pathways. The abundant energy made him extremely excited. All the cells in his body were releasing energy under the intense mental stimulation, preparing to awaken the Sharingan.

It was very quiet in the Yamanaka house at night. After practicing Yin Release for a while, Ino went to rest.

In a half-asleep state, she felt a strange excitement in her mind, then her consciousness became erratic, and finally she even came to an ancient-looking palace. There was thick fog all around, many incense burners and the floor were very blurry, she couldn't see clearly.

In her blurred vision, a tall man with six tomoe embroidered on his high-collared robe was standing by the window, looking out into the distance.
