Family Prosperity upgraded!

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

Gentō looked toward the sound and saw that the person who had thrown the egg was an old woman with graying hair.

She ran to the ninja pinned to the ground, grabbed his clothes, and pointed at the members of the Konoha Military Police Force as she shouted:

"This is my son! What right do you have to arrest him?"

An Uchiha clansman stepped forward to explain:

"He killed a woman after drinking heavily. Under village regulations, we have to take him in for questioning."

The old woman's voice turned shrill:

"Impossible! He's always been a good boy. He would never do something like that!"

"You Uchiha must be framing him!"

"We have witnesses and physical evidence, and the scene also..."

"So what!"

The old woman cut him off, her voice growing louder as she began making unreasonable demands.

"Besides, what's wrong with killing one person? He's a special jōnin!"

"Even if a ninja kills some unimportant civilian, it's no big deal!"

She lunged forward, only to be held back by the people beside her, but she kept struggling desperately:

"You Uchiha only know how to bully your own people! You're only tough when you're picking on your own!"

People in the crowd began muttering.

"Haven't the Uchiha been overstepping lately?"

"I heard their clan head wants to become Hokage. It's even been mentioned at the Daimyō's court..."

The young police officer who had been hit by the egg stood frozen, egg still dripping down his forehead, at a loss for how to react.

Fugaku walked over with a grim expression and patted his shoulder.

"Take him away."

He ignored the old woman who had thrown the egg and offered no explanation.

Three police officers hauled the troublemaking ninja away.

The crowd parted on its own, watching them disappear into the distance.

The whispers continued.

Gentō stood at the street corner, taking it all in.

He sighed inwardly. The tensions between the Konoha Military Police Force and the public seemed to be growing worse...

Just then, a figure appeared beside Fugaku.

It was Uchiha Itachi.

"Father! Mother is giving birth!"

Gentō's expression shifted.

Sasuke Uchiha was about to be born?

He stepped forward:

"May I come along to see him?"

Fugaku glanced at him and nodded.

By the time they reached the hospital, several clansmen were already waiting outside the delivery room.

Before long, a baby's loud cry rang out from inside.

The delivery room door opened, and a nurse emerged holding a swaddled infant:

"Is the baby's family here?"

Fugaku immediately stepped forward:

"I'm his father."

The nurse smiled and handed the baby over:

"He's a healthy boy. Give him a name."

Fugaku looked down at the tiny face in his arms, fell silent for a moment, then said:

"I've always greatly admired the Lord Third's father, Sarutobi Sasuke."

"My son's name will be Sasuke."

The moment he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Gentō's mind:

[Ding! Family prosperity upgraded!]

[Clan: Uchiha

Prosperity: B-Rank (the clan begins to flourish)

Clan members: 3,154

Ninja: 1,203

Clan buildings: Family Shrine, Indulgence Apartments, Desire Hot Spring]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on completing the mission! Reward: lottery draws ×1]

Gentō nodded at the system notification.

After all, as Indra's reincarnation, Sasuke's future potential was naturally limitless.

Gentō was not surprised that his birth had raised the clan's prosperity to the next level.

The system's voice continued:

[Ding! Current family prosperity has reached B-Rank (the clan begins to flourish). Clan building unlocked: Awakening Chamber.]

[Awakening Chamber]

[Description: A special location dedicated to passing down and awakening the Sharingan. The Sharingan of fallen clan members can be preserved here and used in specific rituals to help other clan members awaken or evolve their Sharingan.]

[Effect: By sacrificing Sharingan, the Sharingan of fallen clan members can be passed down.]

[Ding! Current family prosperity has reached B-Rank (the clan begins to flourish). Clan building unlocked: Mission Hall.]

[Mission Hall]

[Description: A location where clan members can accept commissioned missions. Missions primarily come from civilian commissions and requests for cooperation from other organizations or individuals.]

[Effect: Upon mission completion, client satisfaction increases by 30%, accelerating the growth of the clan's reputation and attracting outside commissions. Prosperity increases faster.]

Gentō considered the two newly unlocked buildings.

The Awakening Chamber's purpose was straightforward.

If fallen clansmen left behind their Sharingan in the future, those eyes could be passed down to later generations, preventing the clan's strength from suffering too much when powerful members died in battle.

As for the Mission Hall...

That was a little more sensitive.

Commissioned missions in Konoha had always been assigned centrally by the Hokage's office.

If the Uchiha built their own Mission Hall and accepted missions themselves, they would be openly competing with the Hokage for authority.

But the benefits were certainly substantial.

The clansmen would gain another source of income, the clan's reputation would grow, and its prosperity could advance faster.

Still, now was not the time.

Gentō shook his head and set those thoughts aside for the moment.

The most pressing matter right now was the system lottery.

With the prosperity upgrade, the lottery odds had improved too!

"Chief Fugaku, congratulations on the birth of your son!"

Gentō nodded to Fugaku.

"I won't keep you any longer. I'll be on my way."

He turned and left the hospital with light steps.

Once home, Gentō wasted no time. He sat cross-legged and sank his consciousness into his mind.

[Host: Uchiha Gentō

Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyō Sharingan

Chakra natures: fire, lightning, yin

Ninjutsu: Transformation Technique (E), Substitution Technique (E), Clone Technique (E), Body Flicker Technique (D), Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique (C), Lightning Release: Earth Flow (C), Fire Release: Dust Hiding (C), Yin Release: Heart Divergence (S), Yin Seal: Slave Mark (S)

Dōjutsu: Susanoo, Yomi-no-Mikoto, Tokitsumori

Remaining lottery draws: 2]

"Draw!"

As soon as the thought formed, a brand-new wheel appeared in his mind.

The upgraded odds were displayed beneath it:

[D-Rank rewards: 20%, C-Rank rewards: 30%, B-Rank rewards: 40%, A-Rank rewards: 10%]

The wheel spun slowly, its pointer passing over one segment after another before finally stopping.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on obtaining a B-Rank reward: B-Rank ninjutsu, Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.]

In an instant, the hand seal sequence, chakra flow, and combat applications of the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet flooded his mind, as though he had practiced it thousands of times.

Gentō shook his head.

A B-Rank ninjutsu really was no longer much use to him.

Without hesitation, he activated his right eye's dōjutsu.

"Tokitsumori!"

A sharp pain shot through his right eye.

The lottery draw he had just spent was instantly restored.

At the same time, all his memories of the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet receded like the tide. No matter how hard he tried, he could not recall a single detail.

Gentō wiped away the fluid seeping from the corner of his eye and silently repeated:

"Draw!"

The wheel spun again.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on obtaining an A-Rank reward: wind nature chakra mastery.]

A lively sensation rose within him, as though something had awakened in his chakra pathways.

Gentō closed his eyes to sense it and found that his body had indeed begun producing wind-nature chakra.

An A-Rank reward already?

He was a little surprised, but did not hesitate for long. This time, he had no intention of rewinding.

An A-Rank reward was worth it.

He had one lottery draw left.

"Draw!"

If you can't find it by the book title, try searching for the author. It might simply have been renamed!
