The Stronger My Kin, The Better I Am

Oki asked several colleagues to help keep an eye on his class while he was away.

Especially those two Uchiha brats.

Then, he hurried off toward Konoha Hospital.

Ruohuo and Obito followed a teacher to the school infirmary first.

The school nurse was a middle-aged woman, likely a few years older than Ruohuo had been in his previous life.

She had a pretty face with the unique charm of a mature woman, a curvaceous figure, and a wedding ring on the ring finger of her right hand—exactly one of the types Ruohuo had favored in his past life.

But considering his current age, still in the midst of development, and the mountain of tasks from the system, Ruohuo stood honestly at the entrance of the infirmary, waiting with the teacher assigned to watch him.

With nothing better to do, Ruohuo opened his exclusive transmigrator interface in his mind.

[The Stronger the Clan, the Better I Am System.]

[Main Plane Identity ID: 168******1314]

Actually, before transmigrating, Ruohuo had had a choice.

The options at the time were the Senju during the Second Ninja War, the Uchiha five years ago, and the Hyuga in the 48th year of Konoha.

The Senju were too dangerous; the plot during the Second Ninja War was a blank slate, and without the power to wipe out the Ninja World by age ten, he would likely have been done for.

The Hyuga were too weak; what kind of future could a clan that carved the Caged Bird Seal into their own foreheads have?

Although one could theoretically gather a Tenseigan by gouging out the eyes of his clansmen, why bother?

He would have to deal with the Caged Bird Seal and gouge out eyes one by one; he wasn't some kind of pervert.

Ruohuo felt that the Uchiha of this period was quite good.

The entire clan's strength was on the rise, the massacre was still far off, and there was plenty of room to maneuver.

Thus, he bound himself to the Uchiha Clan.

The system's function was just like its name: The Stronger the Clan, the Better I Am.

Based on the overall strength of the Uchiha Clan, every time they reached a new stage and completed the corresponding mission, he could obtain rewards.

Currently, the Uchiha Clan was rated at A-rank.

It included five ratings from A to E; the missions from C to A were somewhat similar to the situation before Itachi's defection and could not be completed for the time being.

However, the two lowest levels did not require missions.

It was as if Ruohuo had started with a pair of One-Tomoe Sharingan and a Fire Style Little Genius buff.

It's a pity I couldn't be older; starting as a toddler... it really delayed things.

The identity arranged by the system was that of an abandoned infant.

He had been dropped into this world at two years old, with zero sense of responsibility.

But Ruohuo was very lucky.

Obito's Grandmother had been up the mountain gathering firewood and happened to find him.

Grandmother was kind-hearted; she brought Ruohuo home and raised him alongside Obito, whose parents had recently sacrificed themselves.

Life was certainly a bit bitter, but Ruohuo felt a familial warmth he had never experienced in his previous life.

In his past life, he had a father who was a bureau chief serving the people and a mother who was a business tycoon and a strong woman.

Since the country had conquered the seven continents, he had grown up separated from his parents by an ocean, and he had longed for family affection since he was a child...

However, Ruohuo had loved watching retro cartoons since he was young, such as Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Boonie Bears, or some passionate anime from the island nation, like Naruto, One Piece, or Bleach.

Especially Naruto; the story of Black Zetsu saving his mother was truly passionate.

Therefore, he was quite familiar with the plotline of this world.

"The strength curve of the Uchiha Clan should reach its final peak in the six months following the death of Shisui."

Ruohuo pondered to himself, Six Mangekyo... that should be worth an S-rank, right?

In the original timeline, the period after the Night of the Uchiha Massacre was the darkest era for the Uchiha.

Only two members of the entire clan remained, but fortunately, both were male; over a decade later, Sarada was born, so the spark of the clan was preserved.

Of course.

It was only Konoha Year 40 now; the two little villains who would commit the massacre—one called him big brother, and the other hadn't even been born yet.

There was still plenty of room to maneuver.

Furthermore.

Even if he ignored the system missions, for the sake of his Grandmother, Ruohuo would never let that tragedy happen.

"Hmm... if Madara has set his sights on Obito, then there are six years left."

"Six years, that should be just about enough..."

The world was currently in the preliminary stage before the Third Shinobi World War.

In two years, it would enter the warm-up phase: a chaotic melee between the major shinobi villages.

Two years after that, it would enter the formal phase: the entire shinobi world would team up to beat up Konoha, and that was when the Uchiha could take the stage.

By then, Fugaku should at least be able to awaken a pair of Mangekyo.

If he completed missions from C to A, and each mission only granted one tomoe, that would still be enough for a Mangekyo.

Barely enough to reach an S-rank?

Once he completed an S-rank Clan Mission and obtained an Eternal Mangekyo, that should be enough to thrash an elderly Madara.

"I just don't know if Fugaku will be able to awaken his eyes in time..."

"And I hope the S-rank mission at that time isn't too outrageous."

As he thought this, Obito walked out of the School Infirmary.

His panda eyes had been treated, but his torn clothes still made Obito look quite disheveled.

As his big brother, the more Ruohuo looked at him, the more uncomfortable he felt, so he turned his head to look at the teacher standing nearby.

"Teacher, could you lend your flak jacket to my little brother to wear for the day?"

This teacher was clearly a newcomer, a junior to Teacher Oki, and had just witnessed Ruohuo's "lethality" in the office.

Just as he was hesitating whether to agree, Ruohuo's combination of arguments arrived.

"Obito is a student at the ninja academy. He suffered school violence, which is why he looks so disheveled now."

"Our Uchiha Clan values... thank you, teacher."

"...Um, remember to return it to me tomorrow. I just started, and I only received one flak jacket..."

The young teacher said weakly.

"Please rest assured, our Uchiha Clan always repays kindness and settles scores. In the future, Obito will repay the teacher for today's kindness!"

Ruohuo helped his clumsy little brother put on the flak jacket.

It was a bit big, hanging on him like a robe.

He decided not to zip it up, which actually looked quite stylish.

After getting the jacket on, Ruohuo patted the back of Obito's head.

"Aren't you going to thank the teacher?"

"Thank you, teacher!" Obito bowed ninety degrees and shouted loudly.

"It's... it's nothing." The teacher scratched his head, feeling a strange sense of accomplishment.

These two brothers... didn't seem as scary as he thought.

"Oh, right, teacher. Obito was beaten quite badly. Fortunately, the senior in the School Infirmary has superb medical skills, otherwise, it might have left behind many lingering issues."

"The Hyuga might come to confront us in the next two days, so please, teacher, be sure to help us testify."

Ruohuo said steadily, "Of course, if the teacher is afraid of the Hyuga Clan, you can also choose to pretend you don't know anything."

"It's just that our Uchiha Clan..."

"Fine, fine, fine..." The teacher was practically breaking into a cold sweat.

"I will report everything that happened today truthfully, okay!"
