From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 390 Promotion Ceremony
The awakening of the Star Staff was completely unexpected.

After being inexplicably transported to the 'Dragon Clan' world, Uchiha Munetsuki attempted to return using the Star Staff.

But the result disappointed him. For some unknown reason, the Star Staff seemed to have fallen into a 'slumber' and could not be awakened no matter what he did. So, he had no choice but to make arrangements in the Dragon World, waiting for the Star Staff to revive while considering how to advance his own level.

Just two days ago, Uchiha Munetsuki was pleasantly surprised to find that the Star Staff had finally been revived.

This means that he can finally return to the 'Naruto' world, but due to his plans within the Dragon Clan, he intends to wait a while longer.

No wonder you were in such a hurry.

Adam suddenly realized that after understanding the cause and effect, he finally understood why he had to give up the 'Pompeii' piece.

It should be noted that in the original plan, Pompeii was an indispensable and important pawn. At least he would not be promoted so quickly in such a forceful manner as he is now, without any regard for the consequences.

But now, everything makes sense.

Compared to the Naruto world, the Dragon Clan world is clearly lacking. The power of the Four Dragon Kings is far less tempting than 'Sequence Zero'.

“In that case, we have no choice but to sacrifice Pompeii.” Adam changed his stance in an instant, but then added, “However, it would be a waste to simply give away this pawn that we’ve worked so hard to cultivate. How about we add a little more fuel to the fire?”

Zarathustra's interest was piqued, and he asked curiously, "What do you plan to do?"

Adam smiled mysteriously, not answering his question directly, but instead looking at Uchiha Muneki and asking, "Can we use 0-08?"

"It's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary."

Uchiha Muneki rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly, "That thing is too dangerous. Last time I wanted to use it to weave a script, but it almost attracted some unknown entity."

Last time, after he wove a script with Alshurst's pen, it seemed to have triggered some unpredictable threat.

For example, in the depths of the starry sky, in areas that even he could not fathom, there were some restless beings. So he decisively resealed Alsuhod, and has not used it since.

"Where do you intend to use it?" Uchiha Muneki asked.

Although the Pen of Alshurst is now far more dangerous than in the original story, he wouldn't mind taking the risk if the rewards were enormous.

"King of the Ocean and Water".

Adam said succinctly.

Zarathustra instantly guessed his intention and exclaimed in surprise, "You intend to send Pompeii to devour the King of the Sea and Waters?!"

“That’s right, that’s what I think too.” Adam smiled slightly and said, “The King of the Sky and the Wind, although he fits well with the ‘Tyrant’ path, is still missing a piece of the puzzle.”

"I see!" Zarathustra's eyes lit up, and he interjected, "The sky and the wind, the ocean and the water, can complement each other perfectly. Moreover, once the power of the ocean is swallowed up, Pompeii's tolerance limit may be raised even higher!"

"Exactly! In this way, Pompeii can become the perfect vessel for a 'tyrant'!"

Adam nodded slightly and shared his thoughts: "At the very least, it's highly possible that He could directly advance to Sequence Three, or even Sequence Two, in a very short time!"

Sequence 4 of the 'Tyrant' pathway is called the Calamity Priest, which can control extraordinary abilities such as torrential rain, lightning, and storms. Sequence 3, 'Sea King', can control the ocean and unleash devastating tsunamis, which perfectly matches the authority of the King of the Ocean and Water. If Pompeii can devour it, it will be equivalent to having some of the abilities of Sequence 3 ahead of time.

This would break the shackles on potion advancement and greatly increase Pompeii's chances of advancing to Sequence Three!
"It's very interesting, and it seems worth the risk."

After listening, Uchiha Muneki smiled and said, "Then, let's do as you say."

Even a Sequence 3 attribute is far more valuable than a Sequence 4 attribute. He doesn't mind taking a little risk, because the price is worth it compared to the reward.

“The only problem we need to be concerned about is Pompeii,” Adam said, expressing his concern. “Once they advance to Sequence Three, they could easily break free from our control.”

“There’s no need to worry too much about that.” Zarathustra stroked his beard and smiled calmly. “I planted ‘hints’ on Pompeii’s mental island beforehand. Unless he can advance to Sequence Two, Pompeii will never be able to escape our control if they are of equal rank.”

"Simply hinting is probably not enough."

Adam shook his head and said, "From the moment they enter Sequence Four, Extraordinary individuals can gradually delve into the realm of the mind. Although the 'Tyrant' pathway is not good at this, we still need to strengthen our control over it."

His concerns are not unfounded. Whether the extraordinary individuals on the path of tyranny can perceive the psychological suggestions on the path of the audience is something no one can be sure of.

However, Uchiha Munetsuki remained quite calm in the face of their concerns, chuckling lightly, "No need to worry. Even if Pompeii can advance to Sequence Two, given his current mental state, he could easily lose control with just a little intervention." A Sequence Two that has been forcibly constructed is riddled with flaws in the face of the 'audience' sequence, and there are a million ways to destroy him.

Upon hearing this, Zarathustra and Adam were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I will give you 0-08 later."

Uchiha Muneki said to Adam, "Pay attention to the logic of the 'story' transitions, and you can handle the rest."

"As expected of you~"

Adam adjusted his glasses and gave a wry smile: "Are you prepared to sacrifice me if something goes wrong?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Muneki nodded slightly and smiled, "That is precisely why you were separated."

In the event of any dangerous situation, the separated personality will take the lead, so that even if 0-08 notices him, it will not be able to interfere to a great extent.

"I will be careful and try not to involve you."

Adam adjusted his glasses and smiled as he agreed.

He readily accepted this seemingly unfair task, harboring no ill intentions. After all, his purpose in being born was to bear some risks for his original self.

"Oh, right, if you're going back, don't forget there's another big problem," Adam said, his eyes flashing slightly.

At that time, I was trapped by the first-order divine abomination, which forced me to use the 'Star Staff' to teleport, resulting in a huge misunderstanding and inexplicably arriving in the Dragon World.

“Considering the characteristics of the Star Staff, although the probability is small, it cannot be ruled out that the teleportation point is still on the moon.” Zarathustra frowned and said, “I think it’s best to prepare in advance, at least until you have absorbed the authority of the four Dragon Kings.”

Uchiha Muneki had already considered this point and calmly said, "Don't worry, I'm very close to Sequence Two."

"So fast?"

Adam looked surprised.

"Hehe, we should thank Lu Mingfei."

Uchiha Muneki smiled and said, "This 'protagonist' is quite important. Every time he weaves a dream, it makes my potions consume a large portion of it."

"What about the ritual for Sequence Two?"

After a moment's thought, Adam asked the most crucial question.

To advance from Sequence 3 to Sequence 2, a ceremony must be arranged in advance, and ceremonies in the 'audience' sequence often require a long time to plan.

This might delay the return journey.

"There's no need to worry too much about the ceremony."

Uchiha Munezuki's eyes were deep, as if looking through the temple into the ocean of subconsciousness of all living beings. He said softly, "I accomplished the ritual of the Insightful One a long time ago."

The Potion Advancement Ritual is essentially an aid to digesting and understanding potions, while the Audience Path's Sequence Two, 'The Insightful,' is essentially someone who can clearly judge and foresee the direction of an entire era, serving as a prelude to 'The Dreamer.' This also foreshadows Sequence One and Sequence Zero.

What is the 'trend of the times'?
The answer is: plot!

Under normal circumstances, the difficulty of advancing to the level of Insightful is no less than that of the Gou family.

It's not a matter of life-threatening situations, but rather the immense effort and time required to 'understand' the direction of the times—a truly long and arduous process.

The 'Dreamer' promotion ceremony is actually an upgraded version of the Insightful Ceremony. Only by discerning the trends at the bottom and predicting the development of the times can one exert influence from the shadows and make the entire era conform to one's expectations. Therefore, the Insightful Ceremony is actually laying the groundwork.

But coincidentally, he was a time traveler who foresaw the course of the era, so he could advance directly by taking a magic potion without spending a long time!
The layout of the Naruto world is sufficient to deal with Sequence Zero.

So now, only one final hurdle remains for Uchiha Muneki.
