Indulgence Apartments and Desire Hot Spring

Clan population: 2,837

Number of ninja: 1,087

Clan buildings: None]

[Ding! Current family prosperity has reached D-Rank (Scattered survivors). Clan building unlocked: Family Shrine.]

[Family Shrine]

[Description: The Uchiha still need a shrine dedicated to their ancestors and housing their genealogical records. Built deep within the clan grounds in a traditional style, this shrine contains over three hundred spirit tablets. On the first and fifteenth of each lunar month, clan elders light lamps and offer incense.]

[Effect: Unites the clan and eases friction between factions. Clan members may worship their ancestors here. Those who do receive a permanent 10% increase in their chance of awakening the Sharingan (applies only once per person).]

[Required materials: Eight hundred shi of premium hinoki, three hundred cubic units of bluestone, five thousand jin of copper, ten liters of Chakra-Conductive Ink, portraits of past clan heads.]

[Ding! Current family prosperity has reached C-Rank (Sparse population). Clan building unlocked: Indulgence Apartments.]

[Indulgence Apartments]

[Description: The clan currently has too few members, making a new generation an urgent priority. The Indulgence Apartments provide free accommodation for single young adults, with individual rooms, connected corridors, shared bathrooms, and mixed-gender housing. Chance encounters in the corridors, voices carrying through the bathrooms, late-night laundry rooms... these coincidences will greatly increase young men and women's willingness to interact and the ease of forming relationships. Indulge together-all for the sake of raising the birth rate!]

[Effect: Increases sex hormone secretion among young male and female residents, makes residents more likely to develop mutual attraction, increases young adults' willingness to pair up, and raises the birth rate.]

[Required materials: Assorted lumber, assorted stone, basic living amenities.]

[Ding! Current family prosperity has reached C-Rank (Sparse population). Clan building unlocked: Desire Hot Spring.]

[Desire Hot Spring]

[Description: The clan currently has too few members, making a new generation an urgent priority. The Desire Hot Spring is divided into the Men's Bath, Women's Bath, and Mixed Bath. Soaking in the hot spring awakens the most primal desires! Give in to desire together-all for the sake of raising the clan's birth rate!]

[Effect: Relaxes the mind, relieves fatigue, aids chakra recovery, and increases the desire to reproduce! Unacquainted men and women who bathe together have a chance of becoming couples. Couples and married partners who bathe together receive a 20% increase in the chance of pregnancy.]

[Required materials: Hot spring water source, stone, lumber, plumbing.]

Immediately afterward, the system's quests refreshed again.

[Ding! Host has triggered a main quest.]

[Main quest issued: Raise family prosperity to B-Rank.]

[Quest description: The clan is currently in decline. Please increase family prosperity by raising its population, renown, overall combat strength, and top-tier combat strength.]

[Quest reward: Lottery draws ×1.]

Gentō's eyes lit up as he read the flood of updated information from the system.

He had wanted to increase family prosperity for a long time, but his lack of standing and influence had left him powerless.

Now that he was clan head, he could undertake sweeping reforms.

And with the [Indulgence Apartments] and [Desire Hot Spring] buildings added to the mix...

Once they were built, how could the population fail to grow?

Most importantly, he himself was deeply interested in those two buildings.

He rubbed his chin, and a thought sprang unbidden into his mind.

Once those two buildings are finished, I have to bring Kurenai and Pakura over to try them out!

"Gentō, now that you've taken over as clan head, we need to hold a clan meeting as soon as possible and settle the clan's future policies."

Elder Zong Yan's voice brought him back to reality.

Gentō came to his senses and nodded in acknowledgment.

As the newly appointed leader, he did need to make his stance clear.

The room soon filled with people.

The Three Elders, the squad captains, the jonin, the special jōnin... nearly everyone in the clan with a say in its affairs had arrived.

Gentō sat in the seat reserved for the clan head.

"Everyone, I became clan head because the entire clan placed its trust in me. I'm not one for pretty speeches, so I'll say just one thing..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over every face present.

"I will make the Uchiha great again!"

"First order of business. Fugaku will remain the head of the Konoha Military Police Force and continue leading those three hundred men."

He did covet Fugaku's wife, Uchiha Mikoto.

And Fugaku had competed against him for the position of clan head, but Gentō wasn't petty.

He had to admit that Fugaku was in his prime. With both formidable combat strength and extensive experience, he was the best choice to head the Konoha Military Police Force.

Fugaku rose at those words and bowed his head.

"As you command."

Gentō nodded and continued.

"Second order of business. The Uchiha need their own intelligence force. I've decided to establish an Anbu unit, with Shisui as its commander."

He looked toward the silent young man in the crowd.

"For now, we'll set its strength at twenty. You can choose the members yourself. Report directly to me, without going through any intermediaries."

Shisui raised his eyes, his expression still calm.

"As you command."

"Third order of business, and the most pressing one right now..."

Gentō slowed his speech.

"Our clan has too few people."

"We lost so many in the war. Count the newborns in each household-how many are there?"

No one spoke.

"Without people, we have no future. Without another generation, who will inherit the Sharingan? Who will carry the Uchiha name?"

He raised his voice.

"Starting today, one of the clan's priorities will be encouraging childbirth. As for how, I'll implement the measures one by one."

"Shisui, stay behind. Everyone else, meeting adjourned."

Everyone stood and filed out.

Someone muttered as he walked.

"That was straightforward. Much snappier than the previous clan head's long-winded speeches."

Others frowned.

"Encouraging childbirth... how? By handing out money?"

Gentō ignored the murmurs.

What he planned to do would be far crazier than handing out money!

Once almost everyone had left, only he and Shisui remained in the room.

He took a Sealing Scroll from inside his clothes and casually tossed it over.

Shisui caught it. It felt heavy in his hands.

"There's four hundred million ryō in there. Use it as the Anbu's startup funds."

Shisui froze briefly, then lowered his head.

"Yes."

"Also, I already have a task for you."

Gentō leaned back in his chair.

"Find a group of reliable craftsmen. Specialists in building houses, not people just there to fill out the numbers. Remember, money is no object. They have to be skilled!"

Shisui asked no further questions and simply replied.

"Understood."

"All right, go."

Shisui disappeared through the doorway.

Gentō sat for a little while before getting up and heading outside himself.

By the time he reached his front door, it was late at night.

Gentō noticed a familiar figure already standing at the entrance.

It was his girlfriend, Kurenai Yuhi.

"Kurenai, what brings you here so late?"

Gentō asked despite knowing the answer, one hand already resting on her body.

"Mmm~"

His sudden advance drew a soft moan from Kurenai.

"My father left on a mission today. I'm home alone."

By then, Gentō's hand had begun wandering restlessly over her body.

"Gentō! You... you're so bad~"

"I have something to tell you."

He leaned closer, unable to hide the amusement in his voice.

"I just became clan head."

Kurenai looked up, her eyes holding both surprise and delight.

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Gentō looked at Kurenai and said.

"With such good news, aren't you going to give me a congratulatory present?"

Kurenai froze for a moment, then understood what he meant.

She raised her hand as if to smack his chest, but there was little force behind the blow.

"I'm already right here in front of you. What more do you want..."

Gentō immediately gave a wicked grin.

"Tonight, you're going to try something exciting with me!"

With that, Gentō scooped Kurenai up and carried her inside.

The moment they entered, Kurenai spotted Pakura.

"Gentō, who is this woman?"

Kurenai immediately demanded an explanation.

"She's a ninja I captured from Sunagakure. She's my secretary now."

After explaining, Gentō immediately gave an order.

"Pakura, clean the house!"

Pakura gritted her teeth at his words.

But remembering the slave mark on her body, she had no choice but to obey.

Kurenai wanted to ask more, but Gentō had already silenced her with his lips.

"Mmph..."

Gentō carried Kurenai to the bed, but she pointed toward the doorway.

"Mmm~ Don't! The door's still open, and there's someone out there."

Gentō, however, declared.

"Leaving it open is the whole point!"
