Uchiha Hayato gave Chimchar a Potion, and seeing its breathing gradually stabilize, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Pokémon have strong vitality; as long as it's not a strange illness or immediate death, they will slowly recover. Even after taking a serious hit from Uchiha Setsuna, Chimchar was only temporarily weakened.
A trace of lingering fear emerged in his heart; when the old man became serious, the hint of killing intent that leaked out instantly sent a chill down his spine, freezing him in place. That's why Xiao Yan had to block the attack for him.
The street was peaceful and quiet, and no members of the Military Police Force approached. Uchiha Hayato let out a long breath, then began to check his system.
"Task Completed: Pokémon Hunter's Request"
"Items Obtained: Soothe Bell, Low-Grade Fire-Type Energy Cube"
Uchiha Hayato had a thought: wasn't trying to take Chimchar against its will exactly the behavior of a Pokémon Hunter?
The Soothe Bell can increase intimacy with Pokémon. Given his relationship with Chimchar, he naturally wouldn't need it for now. He could use it later when he had Pokémon like Togepi.
However, the Energy Cubes made Uchiha Hayato somewhat pleasantly surprised. They were similar to Military Rations Pills in effect; consuming one could provide ample energy, and if the cubes were of sufficiently high grade, they would have other effects.
He glanced at his status panel and found that it had changed.
"Name: Uchiha Hayato"
"Egg Group: Human-Like, Field"
"Ability: Blaze"
"Attributes: Fire, Lightning, Water, Yin"
"Skills: Three Body Technique, Hiding in Surface Technique, Escaping Technique, Sharingan"
With the awakening of his Bloodline Limit, Uchiha Hayato's Chakra levels also significantly increased. He took a deep breath, feeling a cold chill flow through his brain, reaching his eyes.
Everything before him became incredibly clear; every single hair on Chimchar's body seemed to dance before his eyes.
No wonder the Uchiha Family dared to be so arrogant; the Sharingan was the capital of their pride.
However, he felt that this coldness, while making him stronger, suppressed other emotions in his heart, as if he existed only for battle.
He closed his Sharingan and heard a call from outside the door.
"Hello, is Uchiha Hayato home?"
A moment earlier, Minato Namikaze looked helplessly at the red-haired girl in front of him.
"Kushina, why are you staring at me?"
At this moment, most of the swelling on Minato Namikaze's face had subsided, but some traces were still visible, making him look a bit comical.
"Minato, could you please tell me where Uchiha Hayato lives?" Kushina grinned.
"Yes, why are you looking for him?" Minato Namikaze was a bit puzzled.
"I want to thank him. Today, he was the first person to speak up for me," Kushina's smile was a little shy, then her expression became gritted teeth, "Of course, even without him, I wouldn't let those boys off. How dare they call me a stinky tomato!"
Minato Namikaze's smile was a little stiff. He looked at Kushina's red hair, which was slightly floating due to anger, and quietly swallowed his saliva.
Women are truly terrifying; it's better not to get close to her.
He nodded repeatedly, afraid that Kushina would vent her Frustration on him next: "I know, I'll take you to his house right now."
Along the way, Kushina's questions were incessant.
"Minato, what's your relationship with Hayato?"
"How long have you known him, and what kind of person was he before?"
Minato had always been a sunny and gentle person, and hearing Kushina's questions, he couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence.
"Hayato? I guess you could say we're friends…"
"When I first entered the academy, no one believed I would become Hokage in the future. Only he sought me out after class and told me to believe in myself."
Minato's face showed a timely smile: "He's an interesting person, I guess. Sometimes, he feels more like a civilian than a Ninja. Although he sometimes talks about wanting to become Hokage, I can feel that he just wants to live a peaceful, ordinary life."
"Such an Uchiha is really strange…" Seeing that they were about to reach the Uchiha Family compound, Minato tactfully changed his wording. "Rather, it's precisely because I find him a bit strange that I became friends with him."
Kushina nodded thoughtfully. A strange person, huh? Perfect, her hair was also looked at with strange eyes by others, so strange people should stick together.
Glancing at Minato Namikaze's appearance, she secretly compared him to Uchiha Hayato. Although this guy also looked good, she always felt he was a bit girlish. Sure enough, Uchiha Hayato was more pleasing to the eye.
"Is this it, Minato?"
Their steps stopped at Uchiha Hayato's doorstep. Minato Namikaze nodded, and Kushina immediately walked to the door and shouted loudly.
"Hello, is Uchiha Hayato home?"
Returning to the present, Minato Namikaze explained Kushina's purpose for coming to Uchiha Hayato, shrugging his hands helplessly.
"Kushina, you don't need to thank me. I've been annoyed with those guys for a long time anyway. I believe that even without me, you wouldn't be afraid of them," Uchiha Hayato said seriously.
He was telling the truth; the thought of Helping Hand Kushina only accounted for a part of it. More than that, he wanted to complete the task and test his own strength.
"Of course, if you underestimate me just because I'm a girl, you'll suffer," Kushina clenched her small fist, suddenly realizing her own ferocity, and two red clouds floated on her cheeks. "I still want to thank you for speaking up for me. It made me feel like I'm not alone anymore."
Uchiha Hayato looked at the blush on Kushina's face, then at Minato, who had a 'eating melon' expression beside him, and suddenly realized something in his heart.
This world had already become completely different due to his arrival. In the future, he could no longer act with the mindset of referring to the original plot. If he maintained a detached, superior spectator mentality, he would sooner or later suffer losses because of it.
As for Kushina, he wouldn't reject a girl's goodwill. If he were to make further commitments, he would have to wait until he became stronger.
Didn't Uchiha Setsuna want Chimchar? His strength was too weak, and the interests involved were far greater than his. As long as he dragged others into the mess, that old man naturally couldn't easily touch him. Konoha was, after all, everyone's Konoha, and the Uchiha's never daring to stage a coup was solid proof.
The Nara Family generations have raised deer. What if they raised Sawsbuck or Wyrdeer? By analogy, the Akimichi Family specializes in the Multi-Size Technique. If combined with Alpha Pokémon or Dynamax Pokémon, the impact would also be immeasurable.
