Chapter 210 Summoning the Sannin

“Dear, I always feel that Bobo is hiding a lot from us,” Mother Yu said worriedly, watching the door of Yu Zhibo’s room close.

Although Yu Zhibo had used illusions to fill the gaps in Mother Yu’s memory, she still keenly sensed that Yu Zhibo was keeping many things from them.

This made her uncomfortable. After all, Yu Zhibo had grown up under her watchful eye for most of his eighteen years. Even his adolescent explorations of certain websites had been noted in her records. In her eyes, Yu Zhibo was still a child who hadn’t grown up.

“What if we knew?”

Father Yu chuckled, instinctively reaching for a cigarette. He patted his pockets but found neither a cigarette nor a lighter. He leaned back on the sofa with his arms crossed and said lightly, “He just doesn’t want us to worry. Besides, there’s nothing we can do to help him anyway.”

His tone became somewhat wistful towards the end.

In the normal course of things, parents would raise their children, pave the way for their development, and then enjoy their filial piety in old age…

But for him, his son, barely seventeen or eighteen, had already become the pillar of the family. This filled him with a complex mix of loss and pride.

Looking at the demure Yu Xiaoying, Father Yu showed a hint of relief. “At least our daughter still relies on and needs us, unlike our eldest son, who tries to carry everything himself.”

“Mom, should I blanch this lamb chop first? Should I cut it before blanching, or put the whole piece in? The pot assigned to the bureau is quite large, so blanching the whole piece is fine.” Yu Xiaoying’s voice broke the atmosphere in the living room.

Father Yu was momentarily speechless.

“Eat, eat, eat, all you think about is eating!” Mother Yu said crossly, but she still stood up, grabbed the lamb chop, and headed for the kitchen.

“I’ll help too. Is there any fish in the fridge? Lamb and fish soup is exceptionally delicious, and it’s perfect for warding off the cold,” Father Yu said, rolling up his sleeves and following Mother Yu.

Yu Xiaoying watched their backs, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“It’s so good!” she murmured softly.

As a supernatural being and a member of the Information Department, even with the memory patches Yu Zhibo had applied with his Sharingan, Yu Xiaoying had deduced from various fragmented pieces of information that her parents had met with misfortune and were then resurrected for some unknown reason.

“I just hope the price my brother paid for this isn’t too high. I’m still too weak…” Yu Xiaoying sighed inwardly.

“Knock, knock…”

Just then, there was an urgent knocking at the door.

“Bobo, open the door quickly! What are you cooking? I heard chopping sounds!” a clear voice called from outside the door. It was Chen Bo.

Yu Xiaoying’s face darkened. She quickly walked over and opened the door. Seeing Chen Bo standing there, she frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I’ve stirred up something new today, so I came to hang out with your brother,” Chen Bo said with a grin, peering into the house with a familiar air. “Where’s your brother?”

“He went to HR to get his phone,” Yu Xiaoying replied, exasperated.

“Who’s here?” Mother Yu emerged from the kitchen, an apron tied around her waist. Upon seeing Chen Bo, she brightened. “Little Bo, you’re here! Come have dinner with us.”

Chen Bo had been good friends with Yu Zhibo since elementary school. He often visited Yu Zhibo and had eaten countless meals at their house. Coupled with his cleverness and pleasant demeanor, Mother Yu had long considered him like a second son, and her attitude towards him was very warm.

“Oh, Little Bo, you’re an adult now, aren’t you? Have a drink with Uncle later!” Father Yu glanced over and said with a smile, then continued chopping the lamb chops.

However, due to the memory modification by Yu Zhibo, Chen Bo did not recognize them. Seeing Father and Mother Yu greet him, a look of confusion appeared on his face. He looked at Yu Xiaoying and asked, “Who are these two?”

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoying’s face immediately fell. She placed her hand on the sword talisman hanging at her waist, her voice laced with suspicion, “You don’t recognize my parents? You’re not Chen Bo!”

Chen Bo: “Huh?”

Orochimaru (Pre-Konoha Defection Version): 600 million Emotion Points + 2 million Energy Points. Prerequisite: Host is an individual. Note: Because this world lacks the Three Great Sage Regions and the training of the Toad Sage, most summoning techniques of summoned characters will be invalid, and summoning-type ninjutsu like the Shadow Snake Hand cannot be used.

Yu Zhibo looked at Orochimaru’s soul information, somewhat surprised by the low price. Not only were the Emotion Points less than Itachi’s by 100 million, but the Energy Points were also half as much.

As for the subsequent notes, he didn’t care. His purpose in summoning Orochimaru was, after all, for scientific research.

After browsing the information, Yu Zhibo clicked to purchase. Soon, the character card transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the mall. Then, in the air above him, Orochimaru’s ethereal soul floated.

When anime characters are brought to life, there’s no possibility of a sudden change in art style. Therefore, Orochimaru in the air did not have sunken cheeks like a drug addict. His eyes were closed, his hair was long, black, and straight, and there was purple eyeshadow next to his narrow eyes, giving him a handsome yet cold and sinister appearance.

“As expected of the cold Lord Orochimaru, but my handsomeness surpasses his!” Yu Zhibo said with confident laughter.

He quickly deduced the reason for Orochimaru’s slightly lower price: Orochimaru was a ninja who rose from commoner status and possessed no bloodline limit, relying solely on his own efforts to become strong. Therefore, the system judged his price to be lower than Uchiha Itachi’s.

Subsequently, he channeled Orochimaru’s soul into the Source of Immortals and Demons.

“Since Orochimaru is here, there’s no reason not to summon Tsunade and Jiraiya. A complete collection is essential; gambling, drinking, and drugs are indispensable.”

Soon, Yu Zhibo found the character soul cards for Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Tsunade’s soul was from the period just after Nawaki’s death. At this time, Tsunade was in an extremely negative state due to the loss of her lover and family. She also had a great fear of blood, suffering from a psychological disorder called hemophobia.

But Yu Zhibo didn’t care. Since the system’s abilities were vast, hemophobia could be cured by spending an additional 100,000 Emotion Points.

Thus, he spent 551 million Emotion Points + 2.5 million Energy Points to purchase the healthy version of Tsunade’s soul. The extra 500,000 was due to her Senju clan bloodline.

Then, he spent 600 million Emotion Points + 2 million Energy Points to redeem Jiraiya’s soul.

“The dragon returns to the sea, and the sea does not welcome you, Jiraiya. I, Yu Zhibo, welcome you!” Yu Zhibo looked at Jiraiya’s soul, a smile flashing in his eyes, along with a hint of admiration.

He had carefully considered summoning the Sannin. Orochimaru, needless to say, could be used for research. Tsunade’s formidable medical ninjutsu could save countless lives on the battlefield. As for Jiraiya…

Hmm, besides his combat power, it was mainly because he was an interesting person.

As a seasoned Naruto fan, he was Jiraiya’s fan. He had even shed tears when Jiraiya died.

Even though the man was lecherous and had many bad habits, it couldn’t overshadow his excellent qualities and the brilliance of humanity contained within his soul.

“As for Madara, he’s too troublesome. He respects no one but his best friend, Hashirama. At the very least, we have to wait until Hashirama is familiar with this world and accepts it before releasing him.”

Yu Zhibo mused inwardly. Uchiha Madara was paranoid and proud. Although the system could forcibly alter his way of thinking, that wasn’t what Yu Zhibo wanted. A docile Uchiha Madara wouldn’t be Uchiha Madara.

Looking at the awakening times of the few individuals, Senju Hashirama had about 23 hours left. The Sannin had even lower strength, so their awakening time was only ten hours.

Yu Zhibo waved his hand, placing the three individuals who had integrated with the Source of Immortals and Demons into a light barrier. This way, even if they woke up, they wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble in space by breaking through the barrier.

“Chanyi, don’t eat yet!”

After finishing all this, Yu Zhibo called out. With a thought, he brought out Bai Chanyi, who was enjoying dessert in the small hut, and disappeared into space.

Since she was his girlfriend, she naturally needed to meet his parents.

Someone sent gifts again. The money didn’t come from nowhere. During the period of hiatus, someone even sent a “Xiuer” (a high-tier compliment). So, I should express my gratitude. The word count is too high, so I’ll put it in the author’s notes.
