Chapter 1

In a courtyard within the Uchiha Compound in Konoha...

"Darling, your appetite has been getting a bit frightening lately. Are you really sure you're fine?"

Uchiha Senichi stared at his wife, Uchiha Meixin, with a face full of worry.

It was not that he was making a fuss over nothing, but recently, over the past half month, Meixin's food intake had more than quintupled. The crucial thing was that she ate endlessly without gaining any weight, which had his heart beating anxiously.

Sitting across from him, Uchiha Meixin smiled gently, reached out to touch her bulging belly, and her face overflowed with maternal love. "I was worried at first too, but today I made a special trip to the Ninja Hospital and had Lady Tsunade examine me in person. She said there's nothing wrong."

"On the contrary, our child is too healthy, with a vitality that is frighteningly strong, and a huge appetite as well, requiring an extraordinary amount of nutrition."

"Lady Tsunade deduced that our child's talent is probably not simple, and she also suggested that I eat more medicinal meals from now on to meet the child's needs."

Speaking of this, Uchiha Meixin was blooming with joy inside.

After all, that was said personally by Lady Tsunade, meaning her child's talent would be very good.

As a mother, how could she not be happy?

"Oh?"

Uchiha Senichi's eyes lit up. He supported himself on the table with both hands in excitement, leaned in a bit closer, and asked eagerly, "Really? Did Lady Tsunade really say that?"

"Mm! Absolutely true."

Uchiha Meixin nodded, pulled a medicinal diet recipe out of her pocket, and handed it to her man.

"Here, this is the prescription given by Lady Tsunade. Sorry for the trouble, darling."

"Hahaha!"

Uchiha Senichi laughed out loud as he took the prescription, glanced over it a few times, and his face was full of suppressed joy.

"Leave it to me! Haha! My son will definitely be a genius in the future!"

Seeing him act so happy like a child, Uchiha Meixin shook her head along with him.

Her man's personality really hadn't changed a single bit...

"Baby, did you hear that? Mommy and Daddy will give you plenty of good nourishment so that you are sure to come into this world safe and sound."

She lowered her head to stroke her belly, her voice gentle.

These words were heard completely and clearly by Lu Yan, who had just woken up.

"This is good news at least."

Lu Yan could not help curving the corners of his mouth.

He had long noticed that the Innate Embryonic Breathing Technique he practiced had some issues, and he worried that absorbing energy too fiercely would harm his mother's body.

Now it was all fine; the path was entirely resolved.

After half a month of cultivation, whether it was physical development or spiritual power, he had made obvious progress.

Coupled with his high comprehension and strong spiritual power, and having intermittently heard quite a few conversations between his parents, he had already become skilled at mastering the language of this world.

He had also figured out where he was born and into which family.

"I really didn't expect that right upon reincarnation, I'd arrive in such a dangerous world as Naruto, and even be a member of the Uchiha Clan."

"I don't know whether to say my luck is good or bad?"

Lu Yan sighed inwardly.

Just how dark and dangerous the Naruto World was, he knew very well in his heart, let alone that he was a member of the Uchiha clan.

Those two lunatics were going to destroy the entire Uchiha Clan in the future.

"However, judging from the information I've gathered, it's probably around year thirty-four of Konoha right now, and the Night of the Massacre is still far off, which is enough time for me to develop properly."

"With my max-level comprehension here, the Uchiha clan will never walk down that dead end."

If he could still reach that point even under these conditions, he could only blame himself for being too useless.

A few months later--

"Slap!"

Just after being born, Lu Yan received a smack on the bottom.

Lu Yan: "..."

He was filled with speechlessness, but could only pout and wail loudly.

"Waaaah..."

"It's born! It's a boy, congratulations, Meixin!"

Meixingzi, the deputy head of the Medical Team responsible for delivering the baby, held the infant and congratulated Uchiha Meixin with a face full of smiles.

"Thank you... let me see my child..."

Uchiha Meixin's face was a bit pale, and she raised her hand with great effort, her eyes filled entirely with uncontainable joy.

The child was placed beside Uchiha Meixin. Meixingzi smiled faintly and said, "This little one is really endearing, with skin that is fair and translucent, completely different from other newly born babies. At a glance, you can tell he's not ordinary."

She knew very well in her heart that back when Uchiha Meixin was pregnant, her appetite had been frighteningly huge, several times her usual food intake. Just now, she had also specially used Medical Ninjutsu to give the child a checkup, and the result left her startled—the life energy inside this baby's body was frighteningly dense, many times stronger than an average infant, and he was definitely not simple.

Uchiha Meixin looked down at her child. The little fellow's face was round and chubby, his skin white and pink, and she couldn't help smiling and praising, "Our family's child is truly handsome!"

She felt that the ten months of hardship had all been worth it.

After cleaning up, Meixingzi walked out of the delivery room to report the news to the family.

Not long after, Uchiha Senichi rushed in with a group of people. Upon seeing the child, several big men grinned from ear to ear.

"I have a son!"

Uchiha Senichi picked up the child, his laughter shaking the heavens.

Beside him, Uchiha Hao rolled his eyes, mentally complaining: You act as if I wasn't born to you.

He felt that his status at home had instantly plummeted a notch.

Uchiha Hao leaned over, stared at his younger brother for a few moments, reached out to gently pinch the little fellow's cheek, and turned to ask, "Dad, Mom, have you thought of a name yet?"

To be honest, he also felt this younger brother was too adorable, and his previous minor depression instantly vanished.

Uchiha Senichi nodded vigorously, saying proudly, "Of course I've thought of it! How about Uchiha Yan? Isn't this name domineering enough?"

"Uh..." Uchiha Hao nodded helplessly. "It's all right."

The name wasn't bad, but it couldn't be considered all that brilliant, and he truly couldn't understand what his old man had to be so smug about. Yet, thinking of his old man's habitual blind confidence, he felt it was quite normal.

Lu Yan—now to be called Uchiha Yan—pricked up his ears to listen, and he was quite satisfied with this name as well.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

Uchiha Yan tried practicing the Innate Embryonic Breathing Technique once again, frowning his little brow as he pondered inwardly: As expected, after birth, without the massive nutrients continuously supplied by my mother, relying solely on eating food by myself makes the effect of the ** drop by a huge margin.

These days, his appetite was shockingly large. To keep him full, the family bought a bunch of powdered milk to brew and feed him, but it was simply not enough, completely unable to support the demands of his cultivation.

It seemed he had no choice but to continue deducing and modifying this **.

Uchiha Yan was a man of action who did it right away, immediately mobilizing his maxed-out comprehension to begin frantic deduction.

When he originally figured out the Innate Embryonic Breathing Technique, what he actually had in mind was how to directly swallow the natural energy in the air to nurture and strengthen himself. As a result, back when he was still in his mother's womb, his physique was too tender, and coupled with the extreme turbulence of this world's natural energy, he sensed something was amiss and didn't even dare to try, setting it aside first.

Yet, those insights from the time of deduction, along with the information produced when his mother breathed and collided with natural energy, were all remembered by him clearly. Now that he was back in the game, he wasn't starting from scratch.

A month passed.

[Relying on the foundation of the Innate Embryonic Breathing Technique and your mother's breathing information, plus repeatedly pondering and carefully deliberating on your current situation, you suddenly had a flash of insight and created Innate Art 1.0.]

[Innate Art 1.0]: Uses your own tiny bit of Innate Qi as a primer to draw in the natural energy of heaven and earth, transform it, and use it to consolidate your foundation, enhance your aptitude and physique, and push your entire level of life up a notch.

Hoo! It's finally done! This way, I can build a firmer foundation, and the path ahead will be much easier to walk!

The familiar prompt sounded in his ears, and a flood of completely enlightened ** surged into his mind. Uchiha Yan's mouth split directly into a grin.

This was the painstaking effort of a full month.

Even with maxed-out comprehension, it still dragged on for this long.
