Natsu's Headache, System Achievement Unlocked! First Show of Edge!
At this point, Fugaku's lips twitched.
"To be honest, I still haven't gotten used to the size of the animals in this world."
Those on the ground are one thing, but the smallest of those wild boars was seven meters long, and the largest was almost twenty meters long, about the same size as the summoning beasts in our Ninja World.
The so-called 'small Sea Kings ' are even more outrageous; any one you randomly scoop up is seventy or eighty meters long, only slightly smaller than Nine-Tails.
"Fortunately, these things don't have Chakra or Haki, so any Elite Jonin can handle them. Otherwise, they could eat us out of house and home just by feeding us."
"How's it going at the breeding farm? I remember they caught more than twenty large deer before," Natsu asked curiously.
"Not bad." Fugaku nodded, a smile finally appearing on his face. "We're raising seven kinds of livestock now: giant deer, wild boar, argali sheep, black oxen, as well as gulls, pheasants, and snow hares."
Snow rabbits, colorful chickens, and Gullies reproduce the fastest, and there are already thousands of them. The other species reproduce more slowly, but they can also reach a large scale in another year or two."
"That's already very good." Natsu breathed a sigh of relief. "At least the tribespeople won't have to worry about meat anymore. We can expand the breeding farm later."
Only when there is a sufficient supply of food and meat can the tribespeople focus on their cultivation without being distracted by the worries of making a living.
"Origin Island is now about 40% developed." Fugaku changed the subject, his face darkening again. "By normal standards, it could support 150,000 people if fully developed. But as you know, the appetite and resource consumption of ninjas are incomparable to that of ordinary people."
A Kage Level eats more in a day than ten strong young men. At the current rate of consumption, this island can only support a maximum of 30,000 ninjas."
He looked at Natsu, his tone clearly worried. "Natsu, we need to plan ahead. At this rate, Origin Island's resources won't be enough in less than ten years. Should we take over those uninhabited islands around here, build bridges to connect them, and start developing them ahead of time?"
Natsu fell silent.
He understood the seriousness of the problem better than Fugaku.
What's more, he had previously drawn the "Thriving Population" entry—the conception rate of people of childbearing age increased by 80%, the mortality rate of newborns from Plague decreased by 60%, and even the problem of the thin Uchiha bloodline was directly eliminated.
The clan is now filled with joy, and the number of pregnant women next year will be at least double that of last year. Within five years, the clan will have more than six thousand more children. This is even with his special rule that everyone must rest for a year after giving birth before they can have another child.
Once the first batch of children begin their training in the fifth year, the Uchiha population will definitely exceed 30,000 within ten years. At that time, let alone training resources, even food will become a problem.
Natsu also started to have a headache, rubbing her throbbing temples with her fingertips.
After a long silence, he looked up at Fugaku, his eyes suddenly sharpening. "No need to develop the deserted island. Tell the clan to use the resources freely and not to be stingy."
Within two years, I want all eligible members of my clan to reach at least the Elite Genin.
"When the first batch of the Clan Academy children graduate next year, that will be the time when our Uchiha Clan truly shows its fangs."
"The West Blue is the most chaotic of the Four Seas, but it also has the most kingdoms and the richest resources."
Countless island towns, countless people and wealth await us.
Instead of working ourselves to death clearing land, it's better to just conquer these territories. It's faster and we get more resources."
He paused, his tone softening slightly. "Uncle, you focus on practicing your Haki. I'll call Whitebeard's Den Den Den Mushi later and ask him about the most systematic training methods for Armament Haki and Observation Haki, then I'll copy a copy for you."
By the way, how's the Hashirama Cells doing with your Mangekyo Sharingan warming? How much longer will it take for them to maintain Semi-Complete Susanoo for an extended period?
It had been less than six months since Fugaku received the Hashirama Cells transplant, and the side effects of the Mangekyo Sharingan had not been completely suppressed, which was the main reason why he was at a disadvantage in his last battle against Gion.
"I was just about to tell you this." Fugaku put down the ledger in his hand, his tone unusually firm. "The culture of the Hashirama Cells has stabilized, and I plan to transplant another batch."
"What?" Natsu looked up abruptly, her voice tinged with surprise. "Uncle, you..."
"Last time was the first transplant, and I was afraid of complications, so I only dared to use the minimum dose. With that amount, nurturing the Mangekyo Sharingan was too slow."
Fugaku waved his hand, interrupting him, "I know my own body. Doubling the dosage is no problem."
Natsu looked at the resolute look in his eyes and fell silent.
He finally nodded. "Okay, but we must proceed gradually. Try adding one-third first."
I'm also trying to find a way to bring back two of the world's top scientists.
"With the research data we brought from Konoha, we should be able to accelerate the research progress on Hashirama Cells."
The clan trained a few Research Ninja this year, but they were far inferior to a monster like Orochimaru.
He longed to return to the Ninja World, but the energy required to cross the dimensional barrier was terrifying. Without the system's help, he could barely manage to go back alone, let alone with his entire clan of over ten thousand people.
If we really try to force our way through, everyone will probably be torn apart by the spatial turbulence halfway there.
Just then, a cold, mechanical voice exploded in his mind without warning.
[Congratulations, host! You have achieved the achievement: First Show of Edge!]
[Achievement Description: After a year of silence and dormancy in the West Blue, the Uchiha Clan has finally revealed the fangs hidden in their sleeves in this battle.]
More than four thousand elite naval soldiers perished here, and a Headquarters Vice Admiral was seriously wounded and forced to retreat. From this day forward, the name of the Demon-Subduing Ghost Clan will resound throughout the entire sea!
[The Navy bestows upon the host the title "Void Demon Tamer," and rewards the host with: 1 chance to draw an achievement item and 30,000 System Points points!]
The moment the system notification sound faded, Natsu's eyes lit up. Suppressing his surging excitement, he frantically chanted in his mind, "System, draw a prize!"
"Receive."
Suddenly, an image of an ancient bronze disc appeared in my mind. The disc was engraved with intricate patterns, dividing different areas from white to gold. A jet-black pointer was spinning rapidly, leaving afterimages in its wake.
Natsu's heartbeat quickened involuntarily in sync with the ticking of the clock, and her fingertips tightened slightly.
He watched the pointer slide across the white area, then past the blue and purple, gradually slowing down before finally stopping steadily in the brightest orange area with a "click".
The next second, a blazing orange-red light exploded from the center of the disc, and a warm and powerful energy instantly swept through his consciousness. The light slowly condensed, eventually forming four strong and powerful characters that floated in mid-air:
