A Married Woman Is Good

After a good night's sleep, Genkawa Uchiha opened his eyes in the morning and felt his whole body relaxed, as if a burden had been lifted, a comfort he couldn't quite describe.

He didn't know if he was just too carefree.

Despite everything that had happened last night, he felt like nothing had happened, completely unaffected.

He stretched, and his body made cracking sounds... which felt even better.

He got out of bed and stood, just about to take a step, when his body suddenly stiffened.

"Hiss, something's wrong!"

Genkawa Uchiha stopped abruptly, his eyes widening, his Sharingan even activating due to his emotional agitation.

He looked down at his hands, then touched himself all over.

"No more natural energy?"

At this moment, Genkawa Uchiha was completely awake and had fully realized the difference in himself.

In the past, his body had been constantly absorbing external natural energy to remodel itself.

This process had begun when he drew the SS-rank Sage Body and had never stopped.

Moreover, the remodeling of the body by natural energy was a long-term process, also involving his own developmental stage.

Genkawa Uchiha had originally estimated that this process might not stop until his development was complete, but now...

With a thought, the system panel appeared.

[Host: Genkawa Uchiha]

[Abilities: Sage Body SS, Mangekyō Sharingan S, Water Style A, Fire Style A+, Earth Style B, Lightning Style A, Wind Style B, Yin Style A+, Yang Style S+, Strength of a Hundred A...]

[Lottery: 0]

As expected.

The "fusing" status behind Sage Body SS had disappeared, which meant he could now use ninjutsu?

Thinking of this, Genkawa Uchiha could no longer suppress his excitement and sat down on the spot.

He was going to refine chakra.

This was not difficult.

As everyone knows, chakra is energy produced by the combination of body and spirit, and it is used as it is generated, unlike the internal energy he knew from his past life.

This substance generally cannot be stored and is extracted on the spot when needed, so it naturally requires a process.

Of course, this excludes sealing techniques like the Yin Seal.

Speaking of which.

Extracting chakra requires a process.

Beginners generally need to calm their minds and concentrate to complete this step, while experienced users have basically simplified this process into instinct.

Due to his own circumstances, Genkawa Uchiha could extract chakra in an instant, but he still chose to take it seriously this time.

Because he was afraid he had misread.

This showed his importance of chakra and ninjutsu.

After all, he had lived for over a decade without being able to use ninjutsu.

There was no unexpected outcome; he successfully completed the extraction of chakra.

Initially, it was just a little, and he was afraid of causing another "self-detonation," so he was cautious.

The appearance of chakra did not cause any unexpected changes in himself; it proceeded smoothly.

He then increased the intensity, and soon a layer of chakra "flame" rose from his body surface.

After a while, Genkawa Uchiha finally opened his eyes.

At this moment, feeling his own condition, he could not suppress his smile.

For over a decade, possessing the Sage Body and a talent for all elemental ninjutsu, yet being unable to master chakra and ninjutsu, had been a form of torment for him.

This was the ninja world, and chakra was a miraculous power. To say he wasn't tempted would be a lie.

Now, he had finally achieved his wish.

Genkawa Uchiha stood up and quickly went to a corner of the room, lifting the tatami mat to reveal a box underneath.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

At the request of many readers, the VIP member ad-free viewing feature is now available.

Click to view.

He opened the box, which contained over forty scrolls of various sizes, all of which were ninjutsu passed down from his lineage.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball, Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire, Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson, Fire Style: Dragon Fire, Fire Style: Flame Fire, Fire Style: Great Flame Fire, Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire, Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction, Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation..."

Genkawa Uchiha counted them one by one. Fire Style ninjutsu made up the majority, followed by the other four elemental ninjutsu. The fewest were sealing techniques, with only three.

"String Light Formation, Seal Illusion Technique, and Eye-Stealing Transfer Seal, unfortunately, they are all low-level sealing techniques."

The other four elemental releases were much the same, mostly C-rank.

Were there higher-level ninjutsu among those mastered by the Uchiha?

Certainly, there were.

Unfortunately, they were either held by the clan head or kept in the hands of the clan elders.

If one wanted to learn them, one had to first demonstrate sufficient talent while also making significant contributions. Even if these requirements were lower than those for learning ninjutsu from the village, they were still beyond the reach of Genkawa Uchiha given his current standing.

Who told him to be so solitary in the past?

However, he did not mind; the ninjutsu he currently possessed would be enough to keep him busy for quite some time.

Do not underestimate his talent.

The ratings in his system panel—Water Style A, Fire Style A+, Earth Style B, Lightning Style A, Wind Style B, Yin Style A+, and Yang Style S+—represented his innate aptitude for each elemental release.

No, to be precise, they represented his mastery over chakra nature and shape transformation, which could be collectively termed as his control and command over chakra.

Over the years, Genkawa Uchiha had roughly categorized how the system's rankings compared to the reality of ninjas.

Put simply, C-rank was roughly the Genin level, B-rank was Chunin, A-rank was Jonin, A+ was Elite Jonin, and S-rank was naturally Kage level.

Beyond that, S+ represented the Super Kage level.

The even higher SS and SSS ranks belonged to the Six Paths level and the Otsutsuki who had mastered the Ten-Tails.

This was merely a comparison Genkawa Uchiha had made based on his experience; there might be discrepancies, and it might not be entirely accurate, but he felt it was close enough.

As for him now, he was a seven-element warrior, a master of all attributes.

Even his weakest elemental affinities, Earth Style and Wind Style, were at the Chunin level in terms of nature and shape transformation.

Not to mention his Super Kage level Yang Style and Elite Jonin level Yin Style, the rest were at least at the Jonin level.

With his current talent, if he were to truly let go and train, it wouldn't take long to fully master these ninjutsu.

"You're the one."

Genkawa Uchiha took out a scroll, put the others away, and planned to wash up before heading out to the wilderness for training after breakfast.

In short, he was full of energy, much like a child who had just received a new toy, brimming with anticipation for his ninjutsu.

In the washroom, Genkawa Uchiha hummed a tune, giving himself a comfortable, thorough cleaning.

Just then, the door outside opened, and a gentle figure walked in, carrying a basket in her hand.

"Genkawa-kun, are you not here?"

Genkawa Uchiha, inside the washroom, naturally heard the voice outside. Aside from himself, there was only one person who had a key to the entire courtyard.

Mikoto Uchiha.

Coincidentally, he had just finished washing, so he casually threw on a robe and walked out.

In this life, he had developed well; despite being only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was already over 1.7 meters tall, half a head taller than Mikoto Uchiha.

"Hurry up and put your clothes on properly."

Mikoto Uchiha placed the items on the low table and looked away.

Genkawa Uchiha, however, did not care in the slightest, plopping down beside the low table with a brazen air.

"When I was little, you bathed with me plenty of times. Anything there is to see, you've already seen."

Mikoto Uchiha gave him a light slap, her cheeks flushing slightly as she chided, "Don't talk nonsense. You were all alone back then, and I was just looking after you on behalf of Kumiko-nee."

Genkawa Uchiha scoffed.

"And you said you'd marry me when I grew up. Look at you now, you went and got married first. You didn't keep your word."

At this, Mikoto Uchiha's face turned even redder.

"You child, don't say such things. You had just become an orphan back then, and I had to comfort you. Those words were only meant to soothe you."

As she spoke, she feigned indifference, taking the items out of the basket and arranging them on the table.

"Besides, I am already married to Fugaku-kun now. I am a married woman. You should look at the other girls your age in the clan."

Genkawa Uchiha rested his elbows on the table, propping his chin in his hands with a grin. "A married woman is fine. Married women know how to cherish others. I don't mind."
