Generous rewards

Uchiha En sank his consciousness into his mind.

A translucent System Panel slowly unfolded in his mind, golden light spreading outward like ripples.

[Detected: Host has exceeded the requirements of the Clan Massacre Night quest series...]

[Calculating rewards based on the five major changes made by the host...]

[Change one: Dealt a devastating blow to the Shimura Clan]

[Change two: Dealt a devastating blow to the Sarutobi Clan]

[Change three: Prevented the complete annihilation of the Uchiha]

[Change four: Made Uchiha Itachi kill Sasuke Uchiha with his own hands]

[Change five: Became the Uchiha Clan Head]

Seeing those five entries, Uchiha En grinned almost from ear to ear.

Five changes, five rewards.

Surely he would get something good.

Claim rewards.

He issued the command silently.

The light on the panel suddenly flared!

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have received the following rewards]

[Reward one: Mental power increased tenfold]

[Reward two: Uzumaki Constitution, maximum chakra increased tenfold]

[Reward three: Chakra of all attributes]

[Reward four: Basic Wood Release]

[Reward five: Eye Power Recovery Card ×1 (restores all eye power once)]

Uchiha En froze.

He read them three times.

Then he was utterly dumbfounded.

"Holy... holy shit?!"

He nearly jumped out of bed.

Five rewards, and every single one was genuinely fantastic!

"Daddy System! From now on, you're my real dad!"

Uchiha En trembled with excitement, wishing he could hug the system and plant a couple of kisses on it.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Then he began exploring the rewards one by one.

First came the tenfold increase in mental power.

Uchiha En closed his eyes and carefully felt the immense power within his mind.

As someone who had transmigrated, his mental power was already far stronger than that of an ordinary person in this world.

If an ordinary person's mental power was one, his might have been two.

And now it had increased tenfold.

That made it twenty.

In the Naruto world, chakra was formed by combining physical energy and mental energy.

The stronger one's mental energy, the faster one could learn ninjutsu and recover chakra, and the greater one's control over chakra became.

Genjutsu, at its core, used mental energy to interfere with the chakra in a target's brain, distorting the five senses and controlling their consciousness.

The stronger the mental power, the stronger the genjutsu.

Uchiha En felt that controlling a Jonin with genjutsu would now be a breeze.

Someone else trying to control him with genjutsu? Practically impossible.

"Tsukuyomi... Kotoamatsukami..."

Uchiha En murmured to himself, a faint smile curling his lips.

Both of those powerful genjutsu were founded on mental power.

He had been a little afraid of Shimura Danzō's Kotoamatsukami before. After all, that thing could rewrite a person's will.

But now?

With his mental power increased tenfold, he could be completely immune.

"Even if Madara Uchiha cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, I'd probably be immune to that too."

At the thought, Uchiha En couldn't help laughing aloud.

As for soul-based mental ninjutsu, those would be even less of a concern.

With mental power this strong, any mental attack would feel like little more than a tickle.

Next came the second reward, the Uzumaki Constitution.

Uchiha En felt the changes in his body.

A warm current of energy spread from his heart, flowing through every inch of his chakra pathways and every cell.

His body rejoiced.

His chakra surged.

Previously, his chakra reserves had amounted to one Kakashi's worth.

Now?

They had increased tenfold.

That made ten Kakashis' worth.

"Well, well, well..."

Uchiha En smacked his lips.

"Now I've got enough chakra."

And the Uzumaki Constitution offered more than increased chakra reserves. It also granted extraordinary vitality, recovery, and talent for Sealing Jutsu.

"I'll recover quickly from injuries too... now that's a lifesaver."

Uchiha En nodded in satisfaction.

Then came the third reward, chakra of all attributes.

Uchiha En extended a hand, sensing the attributes that had previously lain dormant inside him.

Fire, wind, lightning, earth, water, yin, yang...

All seven chakra attributes lit up within him, one after another.

Previously, he had possessed only fire and Yin Release. After all, the Uchiha Clan naturally leaned toward Fire Release.

But now he had every attribute.

"Once I learn a few more S-Rank ninjutsu... heh, heh..."

Uchiha En was already imagining the future.

Next came the fourth reward, Basic Wood Release.

Wood Release.

It was the kekkei genkai of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, hailed as one of the strongest kekkei genkai.

Hashirama Senju had once used Wood Release to end the wars of the Warring States Period and establish the system of the Five Great Nations and ninja villages.

And now he possessed Wood Release too.

Even if it was only Basic Wood Release.

Basic Wood Release was still Wood Release!

"If it were fully developed Wood Release like Hashirama Senju's, that would be incredible..."

Uchiha En smacked his lips with a hint of regret.

"Basic Wood Release should be like Yamato's. I can use it to grow flowers, tend grass, plant trees, and fix up houses on the side."

He considered it.

"Still, that's enough."

"Wood Release is a kekkei genkai, after all. If I keep developing it, it'll get stronger eventually."

Besides, Wood Release had another extremely important function: suppressing tailed beasts.

Hashirama Senju had used Wood Release to capture all nine tailed beasts, then distributed them among the Five Great Nations.

Uchiha En narrowed his eyes.

"If I ever run into a jinchūriki going berserk, I'll just slap some Wood Release on them... heh, heh, heh."

The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became.

Finally came the fifth reward, the Eye Power Recovery Card.

Uchiha En looked at the card glowing gold on the panel, and his eyes lit up.

The Eye Power Recovery Card.

It could restore all his eye power once.

Although the Mangekyō Sharingan was powerful, it had one fatal flaw: overuse caused blindness.

Every use of its ocular techniques consumed eye power, causing an irreversible decline in vision.

Unless it evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, darkness would inevitably follow.

But with this Eye Power Recovery Card...

"Before I awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, I'll get one chance to use my Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities without restraint."

Uchiha En licked his lips.

"That's practically an extra life."

"Even if I exhaust my eye power, I can recover instantly and fight another round."

The more he thought about it, the more precious the card seemed.

"That gives me a trump card."

"I'll save it for a critical moment. It could turn the whole battle around."

Uchiha En carefully sensed the card's location, making sure it was safely tucked away in System Space.

All five rewards had been claimed.

Uchiha En opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

He felt refreshed and clearheaded. The chakra within him had become vast and abundant, as though his strength would never run out.

He clenched his fists, feeling the power surging from deep within his body.

"The way I am now... I'm on a completely different level."

Uchiha En murmured to himself.

Previously, although he had the Mangekyō Sharingan, his physical abilities had been ordinary and his chakra reserves limited. Every use of an ocular technique had required careful budgeting.

But now?

His mental power had increased tenfold, his chakra reserves had increased tenfold, and he also possessed the Uzumaki Constitution and Wood Release...

"Even without using the Mangekyō Sharingan, I could probably crush an Elite Jōnin now, right?"

Uchiha En chuckled.

Then his gaze grew profound.

"Tomorrow... is the Clan Leaders' Meeting."

Last night, Hiruzen Sarutobi had said he would summon all the ninja clan heads to the Hokage Building for a meeting this morning.

It would be his first public appearance as the new Uchiha Clan Head.

"Those old foxes will definitely try every trick they can to suppress the Uchiha Clan."

Uchiha En narrowed his eyes.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu..."

"Especially that old bastard Danzo..."

He sneered.

"Perfect. It's about time I flexed my muscles."

"I'll show Konoha's higher-ups that I, Uchiha En, am not someone they can push around."
