Chapter 15: Mew Card

The Chūnin assessment continued.

However, Varen did not continue to use the Pupil Technique.

"Hinata really... can't lie~"

Varen couldn't help but sigh. Although he did not take the Chūnin exam, he had been using the Pupil Technique to spy on the events. His presence was invincible within the bookstore. Even if Ōtsutsuki Kaguya were to be resurrected, she wouldn't detect his spying through the Pupil Technique.

Therefore, he spied without any scruples. He saw all the events of the game, including the secret meeting between Orochimaru and Kabuto. Orochimaru tested Kabuto's loyalty, confirming that Kabuto had not betrayed him. This only made Orochimaru more curious about the organization to which Karin belonged.

However, Varen didn't care about these things. Orochimaru or anyone else didn't matter to him. "Overall, the plot points that have been created so far are pretty good," he mused. Varen had altered several major plot points, which in turn triggered numerous smaller changes. Yet, the main storyline of this world remained intact. This was the self-healing power of "fate." Everything was predestined. Although the process might change, the outcomes never did.

As someone who changed the fates of others, Varen would face backlash from "fate." Hinata's surge in strength, which exposed part of his power, was one such backlash. In the future, he would continue to face attacks from various strong opponents, and his strength would be gradually exposed. But he wasn't worried. As long as his power grew fast enough, these issues would be inconsequential.

Additionally, he had recently obtained the Sage Body reward. With the Rinnegan and the Sage Body, he was already nearly invincible. "Izumi's card is ready. This is also a very powerful card," Varen said, taking out a new diamond card he had synthesized recently.

[Mew (Diamond): Upon use, you can become the Jinchūriki of Mew. Special effects: Invisibility (can become invisible anytime, anywhere, undetectable by anyone). Skills: Copy (can replicate all abilities, including but not limited to ninjutsu, taijutsu, bloodline limits, secret techniques, summoning, etc.). Enhancements: Greatly increase the total amount of Chakra, greatly increase Chakra control ability, and greatly increase physical strength. Compatible characters: Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Izumi, Hatake Kakashi, Shimura Danzo]

"This is a very powerful card~ Truly a Mew card~"

Looking at the Mew card, Varen felt a strong urge to use it himself. The abilities of stealth and copying were truly formidable. However, he resisted the urge. His ultimate goal was the Creation God - Arceus.

"Anyway, after giving the card to Izumi, I'll gain the abilities of copy and invisibility as well. It's a win-win!" He played with the Mew card briefly before putting it away. In a flash, he appeared in Izumi Uchiha's bedroom.

After obtaining the Mew card, Varen had awakened Izumi and explained her situation briefly, giving her time to think.

"Have you made your decision?"

Seeing Varen suddenly appear, and feeling the unfathomable aura emanating from him, Izumi couldn't help but kneel on one knee in respect.

"This subordinate greets the Holy Lord!"

She had experienced the genocide of her family, with the perpetrator being the one she once loved unrequitedly - Uchiha Itachi. Though she was killed by Obito, she harboured extreme hatred for Itachi, who had killed her beloved family. Even after learning the true reason for the genocide from Varen, she couldn't forgive Itachi.

She wanted to join the organization to gain strength and exact revenge.

"The hatred in your heart is too strong. This will affect your efficiency in future tasks."

Varen looked at Izumi and frowned slightly.

"I won't forgive him. Never!"

Fueled by intense hatred, Izumi activated her Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!!

Before her death, she had the Three Tomoe Sharingan. The immense pain she felt upon dying had evolved her Sharingan to the Mangekyō state. After being resurrected by Varen using the Phoenix King's skills, her Mangekyō Sharingan further evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, greatly boosting her strength.

Achieving Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan at just 13 years old was remarkable. Adding the Mew card would make Izumi incredibly powerful. Varen worried that she might impulsively try to kill Itachi, or get killed by him.

"What is past is past. Why live in the pain of the past? It's better to let go and start anew. Additionally, the organization has a reward system. If you follow orders and complete tasks well, you can make a wish to me~ For instance, resurrecting someone~"

A gentle smile appeared on Varen's face.

"Uchiha Itachi is 18 now, while you are 13. You are no longer the same age. Why cling to past bonds?"

"Thank you, Holy Lord, for your guidance... I will strive to let go of the past and start anew."

"Choose an organization code name. It should be named after a plant. From now on, you will forget your past names and use the organization codename."

"Violet. Just call me Violet."

"Violet?" Varen smiled. "What colour do you like?"

"Purple... purple, I suppose?"

"Alright." Varen nodded, remembering that purple violets symbolized "Falling in love with you in dreams; you will always be so beautiful to me."

"Then I hope you wake up soon."

After saying that, Varen threw the Mew card towards Izumi.

Soon after, Uchiha Izumi, now transformed into a Mew Jinchūriki, was teleported out by Varen using space power. Being invincible in the bookstore, this method reduced his risk of exposure.

"After merging Karin and Izumi, the organization finally has members who can act independently. This is wonderful!"

Varen observed the two women through his Pupil Technique, feeling pleased. "I hope their mission goes smoothly!"

Varen had assigned them a new task - to recruit new members!

Nohara Rin had been living at his house for a long time, eating and drinking. It was time to find her a teammate and send her on a mission.
