A God-Tier System Arrived! Revitalize the Clan and Get Divine Gear?

The voice exploding in his mind made all the blood in Uchiha Xuan's body seem to freeze in an instant.

A system?

My cheat had finally arrived?!

This sudden turn of events caused his tightly wound nerves to slacken for an instant, and even his body paused slightly.

That tiny movement was immediately caught by Senju Tobirama's keen, observant eyes.

His gaze was like a blade as it instantly shifted from Uchiha Yong, who was about to be executed, to Xuan among the crowd.

Such sharp perception!

Uchiha Xuan's heart tightened, and he immediately composed himself.

But at that moment, he had no time to think about Tobirama's oppressive gaze. All his attention was focused on the azure virtual interface in his mind.

The interface was simple yet imposing. At the very top was a line of dazzling golden words.

[Family Revitalization System]

[Purpose: The host must exhaust every means to lead the Uchiha clan out of its predicament, restore the glory of its ancestors, and ultimately stand at the pinnacle of the world!]

This purpose... was damn well to his liking!

The corners of Xuan's mouth rose uncontrollably.

Below the interface, the first mission had already appeared.

[Novice Mission: Crisis Resolution]

[Mission Description: Konoha's suppression of the Uchiha hangs over them like a sword. Under Senju Tobirama's absolute pressure, the host must resolve this crisis through clever means, preserve the Uchiha clan's dignity, and win the clan a chance to catch its breath.]

[Mission Reward: Novice Gift Pack x1]

A Novice Gift Pack!

This was his only chance to defy fate and change his life!

Uchiha Xuan's gaze instantly became incomparably firm, and his mind began racing at an unprecedented speed.

Fight head-on?

No.

Right now, he was merely a twelve-year-old boy without the strength to truss a chicken. Charging at Senju Tobirama head-on would not be courage—it would be suicide.

Beg for mercy?

Even less possible!

If they knelt today, the Uchiha's backbone would be completely broken. They would only be bullied worse in the future.

The only way was to use "reason" and "the greater good" to break this deadlock!

With that thought, he took a deep breath and pushed aside his father's arm blocking him.

"Xuan! What are you doing?! Come back!" Uchiha Tuo was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.

But Uchiha Xuan ignored him. Amid the shocked, confused, and worried gazes of his clansmen, he walked out of the crowd step by step.

He walked to the center of the grounds, beneath Senju Tobirama's icy gaze.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat for him.

Clan Head Uchiha Setsuna was so anxious that he nearly rushed forward to drag him back.

"Lord Hokage."

Xuan spoke. His voice was not loud, yet it was remarkably steady and clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Senju Tobirama halted his movements and watched this Uchiha brat who dared face him directly with interest.

"Oh? A brat who hasn't even grown all his hair wants to plead for him too?" Tobirama's voice was full of disdain.

"No."

Xuan shook his head, his words startling everyone.

"I am not pleading for him. Uchiha Yong abused his authority and violated village regulations. He deserves punishment. On this matter, my Uchiha clan has no objections whatsoever."

As soon as he said this, not only were the Uchiha clansmen stunned, even Tobirama paused.

This kid was not playing by the rules.

"However!"

Xuan abruptly changed his tone, raising his voice as it filled with accusation.

"I would like to ask Lord Hokage: why did a single Police Force member's mistake require you to personally deploy the ANBU and surround our entire clan compound? According to Konoha's laws, this matter should first be handled internally by the Police Force before being reported to the Hokage's Office. Has your current conduct exceeded proper procedure and violated the rules you personally established?"

Well, damn!

With that huge accusation dropped on him, Senju Tobirama's expression instantly darkened.

Xuan gave him no chance to react and continued pressing the attack.

"Furthermore, regarding that Cloud Hidden Village merchant, as far as I know, he had recently been frequently meeting with certain people of unknown origin within the village. That was precisely why the Police Force questioned him. Uchiha Yong's methods may have been excessive, but his intention was to protect the village's safety! Lord Hokage, without asking why and looking only at the outcome, you intend to execute a ninja who faithfully performed his duty. Would that not chill the hearts of every ninja willing to risk his life for the village?"

His logic was clear and his words razor-sharp!

With just a few remarks, he had cleverly elevated Uchiha Yong's personal misconduct into a matter of "procedural justice" and "Konoha's military morale"!

Every Uchiha clansman present looked at that slight figure from behind, hope blazing in their eyes.

For the first time, they realized that there was another way to resist the Hokage's pressure!

"You...!"

Senju Tobirama was left speechless by the brat's barrage of questions.

He could not possibly admit before so many people that he was abusing public power for personal vengeance and trying to suppress the Uchiha, could he?

He could do it, but he absolutely could not say it!

Seeing the complicated looks from the Konoha ANBU and Uchiha clansmen around him, Tobirama knew that today's attempt to establish his authority had been ruined by this brat.

If he forced the issue under everyone's watchful eyes, it would look far too ugly and only confirm his reputation for suppressing meritorious subjects and disregarding the law.

"Hmph!"

Senju Tobirama snorted coldly, and the gathered killing intent slowly dissipated.

He gave Uchiha Xuan a long look. His gaze was as cold as a Siberian current, as though it could freeze Xuan's very soul.

"Sharp-tongued little brat."

Leaving behind those meaningful words, he turned and waved at the ANBU behind him.

"We're leaving!"

All the ANBU ninja retreated soundlessly like a receding tide.

The terrifying pressure weighing upon everyone's heads vanished with them.

The crisis had been resolved!

Every Uchiha clansman breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with gratitude and disbelief as they looked at Xuan.

Uchiha Xuan secretly let out a breath as well. His back had long since been soaked with cold sweat.

Just then, a heavenly notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Novice Mission "Crisis Resolution" completed! Evaluation: S-rank!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have received the mission reward: Novice Gift Pack x1!]

[Open immediately?]

Uchiha Tuo strode forward and pulled his son into a tight embrace, his voice trembling with excitement. "Xuan... you... you scared me to death just now!"

"Father, I'm fine." Xuan patted his father's back reassuringly. "Let's go home first."

Uchiha Setsuna walked over as well. This clan head, who was usually so aloof, now looked at Xuan with admiration and complicated emotions. "Your name is Uchiha Xuan? Very good. I'll remember you."

"You flatter me, Clan Head." Xuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
