New Mission: New Life for the Tribe

After finishing his ramen, Uchiha Fugaku chose not to continue wandering around Konoha.

He decided to head home instead; after all, there was plenty of time, and it would be boring to see everything Konoha had to offer in one go.

It was time to go back and cultivate.

Although, at Uchiha Fugaku's level, cultivation offered little improvement to his strength unless he learned more powerful ninjutsu.

However, Uchiha Fugaku still had the Qi Refining Technique, a cultivation manual he had yet to practice.

By studying cultivation techniques, even if he couldn't embark on the path of immortality, it would be excellent if he could find a way to absorb natural energy.

He could create his own Sage Art and pioneer a unique Sage Art exclusive to the Uchiha Clan.

When that time came, he could even unleash: Sage Art: Susanoo.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku grew excited.

He then hurried toward his home.

Konoha Military Police Force

"Itachi, being the head of the Uchiha Clan is so exhausting. We have to deal with so many documents every single day."

After saying this, Izumi Uchiha slumped onto the floor in exhaustion. By now, the excitement Izumi Uchiha had felt about working with Itachi—back when she was first hoodwinked by Uchiha Fugaku—had completely vanished.

This was not the date she had wanted.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi, who had already activated his Sharingan and was frantically reading and correcting documents, couldn't help but nod in agreement, thinking bitterly to himself.

That detestable old man. Not only did he steal my limited-edition three-colored dango, but he's also slacking off and making Izumi and me do his work.

It's truly infuriating.

Uchiha Clan Compound

Having just returned, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the empty compound, now that a portion of the clansmen had already moved out, and couldn't help but lament that the Uchiha Clan really was a bit small.

To be honest, the population of the Uchiha, the number one clan in Konoha, was truly too low.

Adding everyone up, there were only a few hundred people in total.

This was a realization Uchiha Fugaku had only come to after wandering around Konoha today.

Just as Uchiha Fugaku was sighing over this, a system notification made him grow excited.

"Detected that the host is lamenting the insufficient population of the Uchiha Clan. System mission issued: New Life for the Clan."

[System Mission: New Life for the Clan]

[Mission Objective: For every healthy newborn with ninja talent born into the Uchiha Clan, the host will receive one lottery chance (As the host possesses the strongest genes in the ninja world, every child born to the host will grant one super lottery chance)]

The super lottery has a chance to draw grand prizes of gold quality or higher.

What the hell? System, are you forcing my hand? I only awakened my memories a day ago, and you're already tempting me to become a stud? This is too much.

How could I, Uchiha Fugaku, ever submit to the lewd tyranny of your system rewards?

I should focus on developing the Uchiha Clan first. After all, even if I become a stud and can sire many, how could I possibly out-breed the entire Uchiha Clan?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku immediately became invested in the development of the Uchiha Clan.

Didn't he have that ability to train physical techniques?

It was time to put it to use.

After all, a healthy child required a pair of healthy parents.

Starting tomorrow, he would have the Uchiha Clan start drilling.

As for why not today, it was already late afternoon, and they were all busy moving their residences.

It wouldn't be appropriate to summon them now.

However, the system mission was triggered because he lamented the small population of the Uchiha Clan. What if he lamented that the Uchiha Clan was too weak?

At this moment, the system's intelligence ruthlessly extinguished Uchiha Fugaku's fantasies.

System missions are triggered randomly; intentional attempts by the host will not trigger system missions.

Realizing this, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but curl his lip.

If it couldn't be triggered, so be it.

Regardless, even if no more missions were triggered in the future, he was already very satisfied with this permanent system mission.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku walked toward his home, feeling happy.

At the same time, he began to ponder how to ignite the clansmen's enthusiasm for reproduction tomorrow.

"Should I start a pro-natalist program?"

"But how should I go about it?"

Uchiha Fugaku returned home and set aside his thoughts on how to complete the mission.

After all, having children to strengthen the clan was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Senjutsu, however, could enhance the combat capabilities of the clan members and reduce their casualties.

After all, the larger the base population of the clan, the more new lives would naturally be born.

Subsequently, Uchiha Fugaku took out the Qi Refining Technique, intending to finish reading it today and then use the Enlightenment Tea at night to develop a Senjutsu exclusive to his Uchiha Clan.

He would make the Uchiha Clan the first Senjutsu family in the ninja world where every member practiced Senjutsu.

However, Uchiha Fugaku was somewhat dumbfounded once he took out the Qi Refining Technique.

A Qi Refining Technique manual a full twenty centimeters thick appeared before Uchiha Fugaku.

"What the hell? What version of the Qi Refining Technique is this? Why is it so thick?"

"Is this some kind of scientific cultivation tutorial?"

Nevertheless, Uchiha Fugaku still held hope for the content within.

What if, just what if, it was filled with diagrams teaching cultivation?

But when Uchiha Fugaku saw the contents, he understood that he shouldn't have harbored any unrealistic fantasies.

Every page was filled with dense text explaining the specific principles of cultivation.

But for the sake of his Senjutsu, for the sake of his Senjutsu Susanoo.

For the sake of his system rewards.

Could this measly Qi Refining Technique really stump me, Uchiha Fugaku? Could it stump the man with the strongest genes in the ninja world?

I, Uchiha Fugaku, shall read it first as a sign of respect.

Thinking this, Uchiha Fugaku activated his Sharingan and began to read frantically.

In the evening, Uchiha Mikoto returned from Izumi's house and couldn't help but worry as she watched Uchiha Fugaku frantically flipping through the book.

"Fugaku, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Hearing Uchiha Mikoto's call, Uchiha Fugaku slowly raised his bloodshot Sharingan and spoke in a hoarse, raspy voice.

"No, I'm fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku felt his head spinning.

He felt as if his eyes were filled with nothing but the basic theories of the Qi Refining Technique: psionic particles, Psionic Particle Reaction Theory, Psionic Particle Attraction Theory...

Subsequently, Uchiha Fugaku cleared his exhausted mind and asked.

"Mikoto, what time is it now?"

Uchiha Mikoto checked the time and replied.

"It's already five o'clock in the afternoon."

Hearing it was five o'clock, Uchiha Fugaku immediately sobered up.

Oh no, I promised to pick up Sasuke and check on Itachi and Izumi's work at the Military Police Force.

With that, Uchiha Fugaku left behind a single sentence and rushed out in a hurry.

"Mikoto, I'm going to pick up Sasuke and Itachi."

Watching Fugaku rush out, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but smile, because the current Fugaku seemed to have returned to the reckless state of his youth, lacking his usual composure.

However, she herself seemed to have become much younger as well.

As she spoke, Uchiha Mikoto touched her own face.

"I have to say, that pill Fugaku gave me really is effective. Today, those ladies were all secretly asking me for my beauty secrets."

"If they hadn't pestered me and refused to let me leave, I wouldn't have come back so late."
