Just as I was pondering this, there was a knock on the door.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
Obito tensed up, instantly regaining the composure befitting the true leader of the Akatsuki organization.
He quickly straightened his hair and cloak, sat back on the edge of the bed, and lowered his voice to sound calm: "Come in."
The door opened, and Jue, half white and half black, poked his head out, looking impatient: "Hey, it's time to get going!"
He entered the room and saw Obito sitting upright on the edge of the bed, his arms crossed over his chest, looking thoughtful. He couldn't help but frown in surprise, "What are you up to now?"
Obito slowly raised his head, his voice low and serious: "Zetsu, I need some information, it's very important."
Jue was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time he had ever heard Obito speak to him in such a serious and earnest tone.
Jue abandoned his nonchalant attitude and asked in a deep voice, "What intelligence?"
Obito said, enunciating each word clearly, "Where can I find such a medicine that can significantly improve sleep quality after taking it?"
"...Huh?" Jue couldn't believe she'd misheard. "What did you say?!"
He looked at Obito in front of him with a completely bewildered expression, wondering what was wrong with this guy lately.
What happened to the important intelligence they promised?
What's wrong with this guy lately?
Is it even possible to make it work?
Chapter 114 The Weasel in the VIP Box
On the same morning, in the training ground of Team 8 in Konoha Village, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino were warming up together.
Not far away, Hinata Hyuga was practicing Gentle Fist in a horse stance, paying extra attention to every move.
After glancing at the tooth a few times, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
In the past, this gentle young lady was always a little timid during training, but today Hinata was like a different person. Her eyes were focused and firm, and she didn't care about the sweat on her forehead. Every palm strike she made was accompanied by a whooshing sound.
"Hinata-chan...why don't you rest for a bit?" Kurenai couldn't help but remind her, "Your injury has just healed, don't push yourself too hard!"
"No, it's alright, Kurenai-sensei." Hinata stopped and stood still, her breathing slightly rapid, but a faint smile appeared on her face.
"I...want to practice a little longer." Her eyes flickered, recalling her vow in her dream, her fighting spirit intensified, and she even took the initiative to assume the Baguazhang starting stance. "Ya, let's spar a bit!"
Kiba Inuzuka stared dumbfounded at Hinata as she approached, taking several seconds to process what he was saying: "You mean... sparring?!"
The sounds of Kiba Inuzuka and Hinata sparring filled the training ground.
……
Time flew by amidst the intense training, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
With a clear mechanical notification sound, the system upgraded again.
[The Dream Master System has been successfully upgraded!]
[Congratulations, host, you have reached level 8]
Please select one of the following enhancement effects:

[2. Unstable Secondary Instance (Note: Can only be selected when the ability "Dream Manipulation Ability Increased" is available.

【3. Increased Dream Time Flow - Beginner (Note: The time a dream goal can stay in the dream doubles)】
Shi Yu's eyes quickly scanned the three options floating in the air; this time, there were three enhancement effects again.
The descriptions of options 2 and 3 seem ambiguous, and their value is difficult to assess at the moment.
For him right now, neither of these two options is as practical as option 1.
VIP box seating...
Shi Yu's lips slowly curled up.
With this, he can silently pull people who don't meet the requirements for watching a movie into his dream world to watch it!
It's time to bring the 'weasel' in and let him see what kind of heavenly life our Erzhuzi is living with his mistress in his dreams!

……
this day.
Far outside Konoha, on a secluded mountain road, a two-person team from the Akatsuki organization was slowly making its way.
Itachi Uchiha walked in front, with Kisame Hoshigaki carrying Samehada on his shoulder beside him.
The two had been traveling at a leisurely pace for a whole day.
In the blink of an eye, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame had finished another day of fishing.
They stayed at a simple inn.
Itachi remained taciturn and aloof. After a quick wash, he sat on the edge of the bed fully clothed and meditated with his eyes closed.
However, not long after Itachi's consciousness fell into a deep sleep, his brows suddenly furrowed.
The surrounding environment has changed.
Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes and found himself in an extremely strange place.
"...A room?"
The weasel murmured softly.
All around were smooth, black walls, with no windows or doors, and no way out could be seen.
The room was small, no more than five meters square, and felt somewhat cramped.
What's most eye-catching is that there's a huge black screen embedded in the wall directly opposite Itachi.
Center of the room.
A comfortable and luxurious sofa was placed there, and in front of the sofa was a small sandalwood coffee table, which was filled with various exquisite snacks and two cups of still steaming tea.
A soft, warm light shone down from a chandelier on the ceiling, illuminating the entire room in a cozy and elegant atmosphere.
Itachi Uchiha's wariness intensified: "Genjutsu?"
He almost instinctively looked up, his crimson Sharingan already activated.
The three tomoe spun rapidly as he channeled chakra into his eyes, carefully observing every corner of the room.
However, after a moment, he slowly lowered his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.
No trace of chakra flow was found, nor any remnant of genjutsu...
This place does not appear to be an illusion created by the enemy.
A strange and flawless closed room, silently imprisoning oneself within?
Itachi dared not be careless. He did not touch the food on the sofa and coffee table, but quietly retreated to the corner of the wall, taking in the layout of the entire room.
He scanned every detail of the darkness with wary eyes, but his mind was filled with puzzlement.
Who could possibly have managed to deceive his senses and trap him here silently?
Just then, the lights went out, and the huge screen on the wall slowly lit up!
Itachi's pupils contracted, and he looked up alertly.
An image was projected onto the screen.
That was a figure he knew all too well: Oh, DouDou!
Sasuke appeared in a bedroom and got up from the bed.
"Sasuke?!"
Itachi was terrified, and his breath caught in his throat.
The next second, a variety of thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.
How did Sasuke end up on the screen?
Could it be...
Someone captured Sasuke and is using this method to threaten me?!
Itachi's expression suddenly darkened, and a flash of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Itachi Uchiha have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
However, Itachi soon sensed something was wrong.
Sasuke in the picture has a smile on his face and looks relaxed and happy. He doesn't look like he's in any danger at all.
It doesn't seem like they were kidnapped at all.
Sasuke got out of bed nimbly, humming an unknown tune as he changed his clothes, looking cheerful and completely uneasy.
"This……"
Uchiha Itachi stared at the happy expression on his younger brother's face, feeling somewhat bewildered for a moment.
On the other side, in the regular audience seats.
When Naruto opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in the audience, feeling somewhat disheartened.
But when he turned his head and saw the man next to him, he couldn't help but wave and greet him with delight, "Kakashi-sensei! You're here!"
