Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 2

"Don't you think that makes sense?"

The only response Genya received was a heavy snort from Itachi.

Genya wore a cheeky grin, completely unbothered.

The two walked side by side.

They strolled together down the main street of the Uchiha compound.

Genya's gaze shifted to size up Itachi.

Seven years from now.

For the sake of so-called peace in the ninja world, Itachi would join forces with Obito to carry out a brutal, inhumane genocide against the Uchiha.

Close friends, childhood sweethearts, and his own parents would fall directly or indirectly under his blade.

Truly... the boy was sick in the head.

Fugaku and his wife had shown Genya immense kindness.

Without them, Genya would have lived in abject poverty.

He might even have perished in the cold of winter.

No, Genya could not let the genocide happen again.

To repay the debt he owed Fugaku and his wife.

And for the sake of his own identity as an Uchiha.

He had to change all of this!

While Itachi was still young, he had to subtly brainwash him.

Genya let out a deep sigh and said, "Itachi, ever since the Nine-Tails incident, many people in the village suspect that we Uchiha were the masterminds behind it. Some even blame the death of the Fourth Hokage on us. The conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha is likely to intensify."

Hearing this, Itachi pondered for a moment before replying, "Lord Hokage is a leader who distinguishes right from wrong; he will not listen to such slander. You can rest easy."

At this age, Itachi had already begun to idolize the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and believe in the Will of Fire.

Genya let out an "Oh," then feigned curiosity as he asked, "But then, why would the Hokage, who distinguishes right from wrong, force our entire Uchiha clan to the outskirts of the village and isolate us?"

"This..." Itachi's footsteps faltered, his train of thought interrupted.

During that natural disaster, the Uchiha had done nothing wrong; why were they driven to the edge of the village?

They were all part of Konoha, so why couldn't they get along?

Genya sighed again, continuing, "I can clearly feel that ever since our ancestor Uchiha Madara defected from Konoha, the village has never truly considered us one of their own. No matter how many sacrifices we made in the Second and Third Great Ninja Wars, all we received in return was endless suspicion and distrust."

"Every time I walk down the street, I can feel the disgust and isolation from the villagers. Some even insult the Uchiha in public."

"Perhaps being born an Uchiha is our original sin."

Although there was an element of brainwashing in Genya's words, this was indeed a venting of the feelings he had experienced over the past year. He believed Itachi would feel the same.

Brainwashing didn't require flowery language.

Sincerity was the only ultimate technique!

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Itachi realized the issue as well. He fell silent, his heart feeling incredibly heavy.

"Everything will get better, don't think too much about it." Seeing that he had made his point, Genya patted Itachi on the shoulder to comfort him.

There was still a long time ahead.

He could slowly brainwash Itachi!

Ten minutes later, the two arrived.

As the residence of the Uchiha clan head, while not overly opulent, it was much larger than Genya's small courtyard, and the decor and furniture were arranged with great taste.

"Brother, brother!" Little Sasuke saw Itachi and called out excitedly, scurrying out of the house with a "pick me up" plea. At this time, Sasuke was only a little over a year old, a mere toddler still wet behind the ears.

"I'm here!" A sunny smile appeared on Itachi's face as he picked up Sasuke and gently stroked his forehead.

Only in front of little Sasuke would Itachi completely drop his guard and show his most sincere side.

"Hello, little Sasuke," Genya smiled slightly and greeted the boy.

"Hello, big brother Genya!" Little Sasuke called out upon seeing Genya. Itachi was often busy with training, and Genya would frequently play with him, so he was quite close to him as well.

"Dinner is ready, come inside and wash your hands!" After the three played for a while, Mikoto's voice drifted from inside the house.

"Coming, Aunt Mikoto!"

Upon entering, Genya saw a woman in her late twenties. She had a graceful figure, fair skin, and a dignified, beautiful face. Wearing an apron, her smile was incredibly approachable.

She was the mother of Itachi and Sasuke, Mikoto Uchiha.

"Sit down and eat." Fugaku was already seated at the dining table, looking at everyone with a smile. Although he was smiling, there was a hint of worry between his brows, as if he had something on his mind.

"Mm." After Genya took his seat, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally sized up Fugaku.

Fugaku was the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.

He was also the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force.

Furthermore, he had earned the title of "Fierce Eye" during the Third Shinobi World War.

Recently, conflicts between Konoha and the Uchiha had occurred frequently, and the rebellious sentiment of the radical faction within the clan was rising steadily. As a moderate patriarch, Fugaku had to appease his clansmen on one side while explaining the situation to the village's higher-ups on the other. Caught in the middle, he was in a difficult position, which was why he was often preoccupied.

"Let's start eating." Fugaku swept his gaze over everyone and said.

The dining table was laden with grilled fish, fried chicken, steak, eggs, and natto—a very rich spread.

"Eat more vegetables." Mikoto, dignified and graceful, picked up a piece of steak and placed it in Genya's bowl; guests were to be treated well.

"Mother, I want some too." Little Sasuke felt jealous, looking aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you a piece too!" Mikoto gently stroked Sasuke's small cheek and placed a piece of meat into his bowl.

She also took the opportunity to place some in the bowl of the preoccupied Itachi.

The meal proceeded in silence, with no one speaking.

Genya was happy for the peace and quiet, focusing intently on devouring his food.

He even snatched up the dishes little Sasuke liked, making Itachi roll his eyes repeatedly.

Just how many days had this guy gone without eating!?

Fugaku took a sip of tea and spoke with a solemn expression.

"Genya, Itachi, tomorrow you will both go to the Ninja Academy to study. You must work hard and strive for progress to strengthen our Uchiha in the future."

Speaking of this, a flash of gloom welled up in Fugaku's heart.

With the Uchiha declining day by day under his leadership, he felt he had failed the ancestors of the Uchiha.

Genya and Itachi nodded repeatedly.

Previously, Genya and Itachi had passed the Ninja Academy's entrance examination and become students; after tomorrow's opening ceremony, they would begin formal classes.

After the meal, Mikoto packed Genya's oversized food container until it was full; these portions had not been touched and were very clean.

Genya had awakened the Sage Body, so his body consumed a massive amount of energy; he would be able to polish off all this food by nightfall!

On the way back.

Genya was also deep in thought.

Fugaku and his wife had treated him with great kindness.

He could not remain indifferent and let the Night of the Massacre happen again.

That was not his character!

He still had the system!

As long as he leveled up his Sage Body, Sharingan, and Wood Release, he would absolutely have the strength to change all of this!

Set a small goal.

Help Fugaku within his capabilities.

Set a big goal.

Become the strongest in the shinobi world!

Chapter 3: Opening Ceremony

The next day, warm sunlight shone through the window and fell onto Genya's face.

"Time to get up!" Genya rose, stretched, and immediately opened his personal interface.

Chakra: 500.

This was Genya's current status.

In one day.

His chakra could fully recover.

It was much faster than an ordinary ninja.

This was the power of the Sage Body.

"Convert 450 points of chakra into Sage Body energy value!"

"Energy value +450, Sage Body Lv1 (459/100,000)."

Generally speaking.

If a ninja's chakra is exhausted, they will die.

When Kakashi fought against Pain's Deva Path, he had perished due to chakra exhaustion.

After many attempts by Genya, he found that as long as he kept one-tenth of his chakra remaining, it would not affect his well-being.

For instance, he could currently use 450 points of chakra every day to upgrade his bloodline limits, leaving 50 points to maintain his body's basic functions.

Moreover, he had 1,500 points of reserve chakra within his body, which he could call upon immediately in case of an emergency.

If the reserve chakra were to be exhausted.

He could save a portion of his daily chakra and allocate it to his reserves, ensuring that they remained sufficiently stocked!

Currently, the bloodline limit with the highest upgrade priority remained the Sage Body!

Following that were the Sharingan and Wood Release.

Furthermore, Wood Release possessed the unique property of devouring chakra and converting it for one's own use!

However, because Genya was still very weak, he chose to play it safe and feed his bloodline limits using his own chakra.

Once Genya's strength reached the level of a Jonin.

The chakra of enemies from other villages or rogue ninjas could all be used to upgrade his bloodline limits!

As for the Jinchuriki, he would leave them alone for now.

Although every Jinchuriki possessed vast amounts of chakra, none of them were easy targets.

After getting up.

Genya cooked breakfast and a bento for lunch; since his savings were low, even though Fugaku and his wife would occasionally help him out, he still needed to live frugally.

Logically speaking, since his parents died in battle for the village, Genya should have been receiving a pension from the village.

In the beginning, that was indeed the case.

However, after the Nine-Tails Incident last year, the situation changed drastically, and the amount of the pension kept shrinking until it was only half of what it had been initially.

It was nowhere near enough to cover his monthly food expenses.

As a veteran fan of Naruto, Genya didn't even need to think to know that it was definitely due to the Nine-Tails Incident.
