New Bloodline Limit

Night fell.

Uchiha Yu looked sullen.

Having been chased and beaten by Uchiha Fugaku for half the day, he would have likely kicked the bucket if not for his Sage Body.

Fortunately, he had collected five thousand ryo in tuition fees from Tenten.

Five thousand ryo was enough for four consecutive draws.

Although I have a massive amount of chakra now, it seems I can only master the nature transformation of Fire Release.

Uchiha Yu formed hand seals and exhaled a small flame from his mouth.

This Fire Release nature transformation was obtained through a system draw; it seems I need to hurry and draw other nature transformations.

Uchiha Yu opened the system panel.

Lately, he had sensed that the situation within the Uchiha clan was becoming increasingly grave.

Even the atmosphere felt wrong; many Uchiha clansmen gathered together every day, whispering about who knows what.

Uchiha Fugaku was also elusive, rarely seen throughout the day.

As it turned out, the moment he finally saw Uchiha Fugaku, he got beaten up.

It seems the Uchiha coup is imminent. If I remember correctly, in a little over half a month, Uchiha Shisui will be killed.

Half a month later, in February of year 55, Uchiha Shisui would be killed, his Mangekyō Sharingan containing Kotoamatsukami would be stolen, and the Uchiha clan would suffer a devastating blow.

The coup would be delayed.

And in the end, that delay would lead to the Uchiha clan's annihilation.

To completely change the fate of the Uchiha, my current strength is not enough. Uchiha Yu took a deep breath.

Saving Shisui would be impossible without the strength of a Jōnin.

With my current strength, even at full power, I'm likely only at the Chūnin level. Half a month is not much time left.

Uchiha Yu clicked on the draw button.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Explosive Tags x5!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Body Strengthening Talisman x1!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining A-rank Earth Release ninjutsu mastery!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining A-rank Water Release ninjutsu mastery!"

Uchiha Yu raised an eyebrow.

Ignoring the explosive tags, he examined the Body Strengthening Talisman in his hand.

"Body Strengthening Talisman: Permanently increases the host's physical strength by 100%! A one-time use item, destroyed upon consumption."

At the same time, following the mastery of Earth and Water Release, a new option appeared on the system panel.

"Kekkei Genkai Fusion: Specify two chakra nature transformations to fuse into a Kekkei Genkai! Cost: 100 gold points!"

Kekkei Genkai Fusion?

Uchiha Yu excitedly opened this option.

Uchiha Yu now mastered three chakra nature transformations: Fire Release, Water Release, and Earth Release.

Combining Water and Earth Release could create Wood Release!

Of course, Fire and Earth could combine into Lava Release, and Fire and Water could combine into Boil Release.

However, the cost for each Kekkei Genkai fusion was as high as 100 gold points.

How much was that? One hundred thousand!

How am I supposed to save up one hundred thousand ryo? Uchiha Yu rubbed his temples.

If he mastered Wood Release, he would definitely be able to save Uchiha Shisui!

Uchiha Yu shook his head and decided to use the Body Strengthening Talisman first.

The talisman shattered instantly, turning into dust.

At the same time, a surge of light poured into Uchiha Yu's body.

Immediately, Uchiha Yu's physique bulked up a size, and he even grew a bit taller.

Not bad. I should be able to beat Iruka to a pulp now, right?

Uchiha Yu estimated.

Iruka had already been reduced to a unit of measurement.

I'll keep finding ways to make money tomorrow! Uchiha Yu took a deep breath, closed the door, and prepared to sleep.

As an excellent transmigrator, even working hard would be a sign of distrust in his own system.

Suddenly, a black shadow streaked past the window.

Uchiha Yu's heart skipped a beat.

What's going on?

He opened the window and leaped out.

He saw the back of a ninja disappearing from his line of sight.

The ninja was dressed in shinobi gear and appeared to be wearing a mask, but the Uchiha clan crest was missing from his back.

Is it someone from Konoha? Root or Anbu?

Uchiha Yu formed hand seals and activated a ninjutsu.

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Hiding!"

Uchiha Yu instantly submerged into the ground, tracking the ninja at high speed beneath the surface.

Regardless of whether it's Anbu or Root, their strength is not weak; they are at least at the Jonin level!

One was the Special Assassination and Tactical Squad, and the other was a special department under the sole jurisdiction of Shimura Danzo.

No matter which one it was, their appearance in the Uchiha compound in the middle of the night was certainly no good omen!

Relying on his powerful chakra and superhuman stamina, Uchiha Yu's speed underground was not a bit slower than that of the mysterious ninja.

Finally, the mysterious ninja stopped, not because he had discovered Uchiha Yu, but because he was leaning against a tree.

In a clearing, dozens of people held torches, gathered together.

The person in the very center was, naturally, the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku.

"Clansmen, ever since the Nine-Tails Incident, our Uchiha clan has been relocated from the center of Konoha to this peripheral area. This represents Konoha's distrust of us! It represents Sarutobi Hiruzen's suspicion and doubt toward us!"

Uchiha Fugaku's voice was somber, his expression cold and stern.

The others were also filled with righteous indignation, their faces showing varying degrees of anger.

Uchiha Yu, from beneath the ground, witnessed this scene as well.

Preparing for a coup? Uchiha Yu smiled. After the Nine-Tails Incident, both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo have been deeply distrustful of the Uchiha clan! This is the government forcing the people to rebel!

Since the founding of Konoha, the Uchiha clan had served as the Konoha Military Police Force; it could be said that they had contributed significantly, if not through merit, then through sheer labor.

There had even been loyal ninjas like Uchiha Kagami, who became the right-hand man of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

But clearly, the distrust Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo held for the Uchiha was carved into their very bones.

Although the Uchiha clan had sacrificed many ninjas during the Nine-Tails Incident, they still pinned the blame on the Uchiha clan!

There was no other reason! In their eyes, only Wood Style and the Sharingan could control the Tailed Beast!

Uchiha Fugaku continued to deliver a speech that stirred the Uchiha clansmen, painting the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as a man guilty of heinous crimes.

"In two months, we shall overthrow Sarutobi Hiruzen's rule! Let them know that Konoha can only be held in the hands of our Uchiha clan! We, the Uchiha, will take back the power that belongs to us!"

Uchiha Fugaku said, clenching his fists.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Yu smiled slightly.

If not for Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara should have been the First Hokage, right? Konoha owes the Uchiha a Hokage!

Just as Uchiha Yu was watching with great interest, the mysterious ninja stood up and whispered in a faint voice.

"I must report this matter to Lord Danzo immediately!"

Uchiha Yu raised an eyebrow.

Oh ho! Root! It really was you!
