The Uchiha Clan's Wealth

Yamahuku quickly shook his head, refusing earnestly. "Clan Head, I just want to earn some hard-earned money. I can't risk my life here."

Then, he waved his hands nervously, indicating he truly couldn't do it.

Qingcheng looked at the frightened Yamahuku, activated his ultimate move, and said with a serious expression, "I can offer more money. And I can also let your descendants join the Uchiha Clan, becoming glorious Konoha family ninjas."

Yamahuku's expression softened at this, and he then asked seriously, "Clan Head, how much more are you willing to add?"

Qingcheng replied with a straight face, "Eighty Ryo a month, including food and lodging. Plus, three B-rank Ninjutsu a year, which will allow you to become a Jonin, or even an Elite Jonin."

Yamahuku was immediately overjoyed. He raised both hands above his head and excitedly declared, "Your humble servant, Yamahuku Uchiha, greets the Clan Head!"

Qingcheng said approvingly, "Your talent far exceeds my expectations. You are the smartest person I've ever met. Next time, bring your son. I want to meet the pride of our Uchiha Clan."

Yamahuku beamed with joy and said with a smile, "Understood, Clan Head."

When Qingcheng heard Yamahuku agree, there was no movement from the system and no rewards. Qingcheng thought to himself, This means this path won't work. The reward system for cards is completely out of the question. The system only recognizes Uchiha bloodline.

Sasuke heard Qingcheng's words and his face filled with indignation. He angrily said, "Big Brother Qingcheng, didn't you say I was the pride of the Uchiha Clan?"

Qingcheng knew that Sasuke had a Brother Complex. Under his guidance, Sasuke's personality had become a little more cheerful, and he viewed Qingcheng as his older brother. Now, hearing Qingcheng praise someone else, Sasuke instantly became jealous.

Qingcheng immediately comforted him, saying, "Sasuke, you are a genius among geniuses. You are the future of our Uchiha."

Qingcheng added, "Your future should be as dazzling as the sun. Everyone else before you is as insignificant as a grain of sand."

Sasuke was delighted to hear this, but maintained a proud expression, saying haughtily, "Even if you're telling the truth, I won't be very happy. The pride of the Uchiha is definitely me."

Then, Sasuke put his hands on his hips and declared proudly, "I'm going to train. I want to surpass that man's record. I will become the pride of the Uchiha Clan!"

Qingcheng smiled at the proud Sasuke, then turned to Yamahuku and said, "My little brother here isn't very good with words. Next time, bring your son to play with my brother."

Yamahuku just laughed awkwardly, saying nonchalantly, "Kids are all like that. My son also likes to hear people praise him."

At the Uchiha compound, several Anbu ninjas and a few Root ninjas who were monitoring Qingcheng began to mock him after hearing his words, saying with sneers, "This Uchiha dead-last Clan Head actually bestowed the Uchiha surname upon a commoner ninja. It's truly a disgrace to the Uchiha Clan."

Soon, the intelligence was sent to the Root base. Danzo looked at the Root ninja's report and said gravely, "To restore the clan, he's already given commoners our surname. Such an Uchiha is either useless or this is his scheme. Konoha absolutely cannot have an evil Uchiha."

The Third Hokage also received the Anbu ninjas' report. Looking at the contents, Uchiha Qingcheng had bestowed the surname upon a commoner ninja and invited commoner ninjas to join the Uchiha.

The Third Hokage then said with a serious expression, "This Uchiha has no teeth left, only a tongue, and he still wants to put together a set of teeth. It's simply impossible."

Most family ninjas generally looked down on commoner ninjas because commoner ninjas lacked resources and corresponding Ninjutsu. Therefore, the majority of commoner ninjas were essentially cannon fodder.

However, in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, commoner ninjas began to rise, while family ninjas started to fade into the background. This was because of the high death toll in the Fourth Great Ninja War. The large number of commoner ninjas quickly helped to replenish the ranks.

Qingcheng's deeds quickly spread throughout Konoha. Many commoner ninjas discussed, "The Uchiha Clan Head bestowed his surname upon a commoner ninja." Some family ninjas scoffed, "The Uchiha Clan is starting to pick up scraps."

The Shimura Clan, in particular, mocked them the most. Of course, this was also because the Uchiha Clan was arrogant and looked down on the Shimura Clan for being weak and relying on others' power.

During the Warring States Period, the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan were rivals. The Shimura Clan and the Sarutobi Clan were just small followers of the Senju Clan.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage, he suppressed the Uchiha Clan in various ways. The Sarutobi Clan rose strongly, leaping to become Konoha's strongest clan.

Danzo Shimura had autonomy over Root, allowing the Shimura Clan to thrive in Konoha. The Shimura Clan's combat power was very weak, only excelling in Wind Release, but under Danzo's cultivation, it became Konoha's strongest rich clan.

However, this move improved Qingcheng's reputation among commoner ninjas. Some commoner ninjas began to say, "I heard the Uchiha Clan Head gave Yamahuku 800,000 Ryo, which is equivalent to an A-rank mission."

Inside the Uchiha compound, after all the workers finished their tasks, Qingcheng immediately pulled out a large wad of cash, speaking directly with Money Release.

Qingcheng said with a straight face, "Folks, we Uchiha have plenty of money, but our population is dwindling. Help me spread the word: is anyone willing to marry me?"

The workers, receiving their money, all laughed and said, "Uchiha Clan Head, your appearance is arguably the most handsome in Konoha. There must be plenty of girls willing to marry you."

Just then, several ninjas wearing Anbu masks carried in several large boxes filled with money and Ninjutsu scrolls.

The leading Anbu squad leader said gloomily, "Uchiha Clan Head, the Hokage ordered us to deliver your inheritance and condolence money. Please sign for it."

Qingcheng said with a smile, "May I ask who you are? You've had a long journey. Please rest for a moment at my Uchiha clan, have some hot tea, or smoke a cigarette before you go."

The Anbu squad leader merely looked indifferent, set the boxes down, and said coldly, "Clan Head Qingcheng, please sign quickly. We have official duties to attend to and apologize for the intrusion."

Qingcheng walked to the boxes, which contained nearly 7 billion Ryo and a large pile of Ninjutsu scrolls.

Qingcheng's heart instantly bloomed with joy. He smiled and said, "Yamahuku Uchiha, bring all the money and Ninjutsu scrolls to my room. These items are too valuable; I must guard them day and night."

The Anbu ninjas watching from the rooftops couldn't help but inwardly complain, Who doesn't know you're a dead-last? And your entire family was wiped out, yet you still haven't awakened the Sharingan. That's a miracle. How bad must that bloodline be?

Some Anbu ninjas also thought, Qingcheng's bloodline must be impure. He'll never be able to awaken the Sharingan or cultivate Chakra.

Qingcheng, looking excited, thought to himself, Buy storefronts, buy shops, hoard land, become a Konoha financial magnate, and secretly sleep with Konoha kunoichi every day. First, I'll destroy Danzo.

And how expensive would houses in Konoha become? For example, when Sakura once punched a house to rubble, she said with a cold sweat, "My mortgage isn't even paid off, and I just destroyed my house."

At that time, Sakura was already the head of Konoha Hospital and a Konoha Elite Jonin. One can imagine how outrageous the housing prices were.

Yamahuku looked at the excited Qingcheng and then said seriously, "Clan Head, should I send it to the storage room? My room is close to there. If anything happens, I can get there immediately."

Qingcheng heard this and sternly rebuked, "Yamahuku, what nonsense are you spouting? Since ancient times, it's been the Clan Head's duty to guard the family's assets. You all just guard the main gate for me. I won't mistreat you. Do you understand?"

Yamahuku heard this and looked awkward again, saying in surprise, "Understood, Clan Head. I'll have people move it to your room right away."

Qingcheng was overjoyed, thinking, I have Chakra now, and I can cultivate Ninjutsu! Third Hokage, you truly underestimated me.
