Alive Again, the Yamanaka Clan's Examination

"Move it! Get them all carried out and laid down properly!"

After those two Uchiha had left, Konoha's ANBU finally came in to collect the bodies.

As several ANBU carried him outside, A Luo wondered how he could end this fake-death state without Konoha simply killing him on the spot.

After waiting and waiting, once the rows of corpses had been laid out in the courtyard and hundreds of ANBU continued searching the Uchiha compound, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, arrived.

"Lord Hokage, only Sasuke Uchiha remains alive in the Uchiha Clan. He has already been sent to the hospital. No other survivors have been found!"

An ANBU captain came forward to report.

"The Uchiha Clan... sigh, what a pity..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and stood before the masses of corpses, expressing his grief over the Uchiha Clan's annihilation.

Just as he was about to deliver a long speech of lamentation, a small figure among the bodies laid out before him moved.

"Wah... waaaah..."

A Luo did not feel the slightest embarrassment about crying his eyes out.

In his current state, he was a pitiful little child who had only escaped pursuit by faking his death because his father and mother had protected him.

As for whether Hiruzen Sarutobi would take the opportunity to kill him and make it so that Sasuke was truly the sole remaining Uchiha...

He had no choice. If he did not wake up now, he would really be buried in the ground.

With a constitution like his, one that had been judged worthless, he was not even qualified to be sent to a laboratory for research.

If he woke up after being buried, then he would truly be done for.

"This is the young master of the Uchiha Clan head's family?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked toward the child. He was beside Fugaku Uchiha's body, and the corpses had been arranged this way precisely to make identification easier.

"Yes. He was already examined earlier, and it was confirmed that he was completely dead. The body had even gone cold. For him to suddenly come back to life, it should be some kind of Uchiha ocular technique. There is a high chance that Fugaku Uchiha accepted death without resisting in order to protect this son of his..."

An ANBU member skilled in genjutsu swiftly attributed the reason for the child's resurrection to a unique Uchiha ocular technique.

"Send him to the hospital. The two Uchiha children must be properly cared for from now on..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved a hand, ordering someone to send the child, who even cried weakly, to the hospital.

The hospital would provide the results of the follow-up examination.

He had already heard that Danzo had failed to obtain Fugaku Uchiha's eyes and had flown into a great rage.

Fathers really would give up anything for their children.

As for this sickly little brat...

Sasuke Uchiha would be kept to restrain Itachi Uchiha, while this little brat would be an important pawn for controlling Sasuke Uchiha.

With only this sickly younger brother left, after losing every other relative, what choice would Sasuke Uchiha have besides clinging tightly to his last remaining family member and hope?

Even if Sasuke Uchiha had no feelings for this twin brother, those could still be cultivated later. Then there would be an obedient Uchiha...

System, are you sure the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Jutsu is harmless?

Luo Uchiha lay in the hospital, complaining to the system.

After being brought here, he had first been examined by the doctors. The moment they confirmed he would not die, he returned to his ward and received an examination from the Yamanaka clan.

The Yamanaka clan's secret technique was truly useful. It had thoroughly reviewed his past eight years, from his birth until the moment he had been pinned down to die.

[Given the host's soul strength, the system does not need to provide protection when facing the Yamanaka clan's examination.]

The system gave its reply, firmly telling A Luo that its judgment could not be wrong.

When the host did not need it, the system would not interfere on its own initiative.

I need to begin basic cultivation now. System, give me a little protection. The body-forming materials you sold me are so fragile, yet you don't even provide after-sales service...

A Luo silently condemned the unscrupulous system. It only cared about selling things and offered no after-sales service.

He had thought he would at least have an ordinary person's body, but absorbing spiritual energy was incredibly difficult!

[For materials purchased by the host, the system is only responsible for synthesis through the consumption of points.]

The system made it clear that he should not come to it to shift the blame.

I bought the materials from you!

A Luo complained disdainfully at the system's attempt to shirk responsibility. You can't dodge this one!

[The host may purchase higher-grade materials.]

...

Faced with the system's response, A Luo wilted.

He was poor. He had no money. He had struggled for so many years in the cultivation world, yet he had only earned enough to buy some very cheap materials for the fusion of a new body.

He did not want to become someone else every time he changed worlds. He wanted to be himself...

This system really gave him no face at all.

Still, the system was indeed right. The Yamanaka clan's probing technique truly did nothing to him. After all, his soul had been tempered in a cultivation world...

Forget it. There was no point dwelling on it. Weak was weak.

His body was terrible anyway. He probably would not be able to cultivate ninjutsu for a long time. From now on, he would just stay home honestly. A sickly body gave him even more reason to lie around and cultivate.

Relaxing, he worked hard to sense the energy around him. No matter what it was, he dared to absorb it.

This spiritual energy converter was really useful!

After absorption, it automatically transformed the energy into spiritual energy, which then merged into his meridians and flowed into his dantian...
