What was stolen this time was pupil power.
Uchiha Yoichi instantly felt his eyes swell a bit. He didn't entangle with Uchiha Yashiro and Tekka, directly turned his body and left, and Kakashi followed suit.
After walking less than dozens of meters, Uchiha Yoichi couldn't help but activate his Sharingan. The tomoe in his eyes spun quickly, two tomoe gradually closing in, and a third black tomoe appeared in the blood-red pupils.
Having casually stolen the pupil power, Uchiha Yoichi's Sharingan directly evolved into Three-Tomoe.
The Sharingan upgrade succeeded, and it even increased his Chakra significantly.
According to Senju Tobirama's research, the Sharingan is a special Chakra in the Uchiha's brain, and this Chakra stimulates changes in the eye structure, resulting in the Sharingan.
So each time the Sharingan evolves, the Uchiha clan's Chakra is enhanced. From activating the Sharingan to the Three-Tomoe, the Uchiha clan's Chakra can be enhanced three times total. In the Ninja World, apart from the Senju Race, no other Ninja Race dares to claim their Chakra surpasses the Uchiha's.
"Captain, are you okay?"
Kakashi asked worriedly, seeing Uchiha Yoichi constantly holding his head.
"I'm fine, feeling pretty good!"
Uchiha Yoichi turned his head, smiled at Kakashi, and said, "Let's go. Didn't think we'd run into such a good thing before leaving the village."
Three-Tomoe?
Kakashi was surprised when he saw Uchiha Yoichi's eyes. How did his power increase just by talking to someone?
Even Kakashi couldn't help but feel envious at that moment.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Tekka, after Uchiha Yoichi left, covered his eyes with his hands. Suddenly his eyes felt incredibly sore, similar to the aftermath of staring at the sun.
"Tekka, what's wrong?"
"No big deal, Senior Yashiro, just a bit of eye soreness."
Uchiha Tekka rubbed his eyes, saying, now he couldn't even use the Sharingan, finding it hard to even open his eyes and see.
"Your eyes sore? They were fine earlier, why the sudden soreness?"
Uchiha Inabi said suspiciously, "Senior, could it be that Uchiha Yoichi kid..."
"Don't make wild guesses, Inabi, he was right in front of us."
Uchiha Yashiro shook his head, saying, though he felt Uchiha Yoichi was a troublemaker, too aggressive and could implicate the entire Uchiha Race, Tekka's eye soreness couldn't possibly be related to Yoichi.
If they kept pestering, not only the Second Elder but even the Clan Leader might feel they're overreacting!
"I just think he's suspicious, and Senior Yashiro, you saw, he arrogantly intends to become Clan Leader. Hmph, does he think it's so easy? Must be the Second Elder promising him some dream-like offer, making that kid oblivious."
Uchiha Inabi mocked, though he's a few years older than Yoichi, he's nowhere near as privileged in the clan, just recently joining the Security Team, doing patrols or simple tasks.
"Tekka, Inabi, you two go back. I'll see the Clan Leader."
Uchiha Yashiro suddenly said, feeling he should inform the Clan Leader of Yoichi's words, to be wary of the Second Elder; he reckons Yoichi's brazen thoughts about the Clan Leader come from some promise by the Second Elder.
And recently, the Second Elder's side has been quite active, all within the clan's territory, Uchiha Yashiro must have noticed. This should also be warned to the Clan Leader.

"Captain, you're also in business?"
After leaving the village with Uchiha Yoichi, Kakashi arrived at a medicine factory, initially thinking they're there to steal secrets; unexpectedly, this factory was the Captain's, and upon entering, they directly started discussing matters.
"Can't avoid business, expenses are too high, those noble plundering missions are rare, once the money's gone, I've got to find a way to earn some."
Uchiha Yoichi shook his head, saying, Gates eats at least twenty to thirty thousand ryo daily. Unless he selects a lucky noble every three months to raid, he can't sustain Earth Bear.
But if he did that, it would surely incite fear among other nobles and Daimyos, leading to a campaign from the Five Great Ninja Villages, prematurely experiencing the plight of Uchiha Obito.
Uchiha Yoichi hasn't yet become the Fifth Generation Hokage, let those Daimyo enjoy a bit longer.
"Kakashi, wait for me. After dealing with things here, we'll head to the Underground Gold Exchange."
Upon hearing, Kakashi nodded, not in a rush, instead wandering around the factory for a look.
Acquiring it cost over eight million ryo, the factory isn't large, just three production lines, conveniently these three medicines are all usable. Once medicinal materials are procured en masse, they can be produced at full tilt.
Uchiha Yoichi brought a large part of his household money this trip, besides the food money for Gates, the rest goes to the medicine factory.
Apart from purchasing medicinal materials, more need to be spent on advertising.
Yoichi instructed his clan brother thoroughly three to four times on advertising, reminding him not to let Tsunade know that one box of the medicine is Health Pill Little Blue Tablets when snapping promotional photos.
Currently, health medicine is an unexplored industry, waiting for Uchiha Yoichi to step in and earn. In the Ninja World, the best medical ninjas are busy treating comrades on the battlefield, with no time developing health medicines.
Hence, Uchiha Yoichi seized the opportunity.
After sorting everything, Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi left the factory. Yoichi noticed Elder Kenji valued here, even having clan ninjas guard it, so he's at ease.
With the medicine factory matters settled, Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi intended to undertake bounty missions. His persuasion for Kakashi to visit the Underground Gold Exchange was partly due to lacking funds.
"Captain, where are we headed now?"
Uchiha Yoichi surveyed the surroundings, then said, "To Chuazhu County's Underground Gold Exchange. Last time I dealt with its manager. But, Kakashi, it's best to use Transformation Jutsu first, if short of Chakra, keep eating Soldier Pills, or change attire, your hair is quite conspicuous..."
"I understand, Captain."
Kakashi touched his white hair, feeling Yoichi had eyed it several times.
Then the two journeyed for a day, finally reaching Chuazhu County's Underground Gold Exchange.
Upon seeing Uchiha Yoichi's familiar appearance, the manager spoke, "Here already? Spent all the money you earned? But why bring a kid?"
"This is my assistant, and when did you start judging by appearances? His skill surpasses your underlings, wiping out everyone here isn't a problem."
Uchiha Yoichi snorted coldly, and then impatiently said, "Cut the chatter, any high-paying bounties lately?"
