Family Skill Unlock, Powerful Enhancement Abilities

He had thought it would be a thrilling, evenly matched battle.

He had never expected it to turn into a one-sided slaughter!

Three veteran Chunin had actually been unable to withstand even a single exchange against Uchiha Yao.

Uchiha Yao definitely already possessed Jonin-level strength. Every high-ranking member of the Military Police Force present silently came to that conclusion.

"Uchiha Yao has passed the combat assessment with a perfect score!"

Uchiha Tekka announced loudly.

Next came the Ninjutsu development demonstration.

Uchiha Yao did not hold anything back and demonstrated his newly developed Lightning Fire Rasengan once more on the spot.

This time, Uchiha Yao targeted a massive stone target placed in the corner of the training ground.

He showed no mercy and struck with full force.

BOOM!!!

A thunderous blast rang out!

The incomparably hard stone target was blasted by the Lightning Fire Rasengan, leaving behind a massive charred crater.

Traces of lightning and flame scorching still lingered around its edges.

The Lightning Fire Rasengan's power had clearly reached the threshold of an A-rank Ninjutsu!

"An... A-rank Ninjutsu?!"

"It seems somewhat similar to Lord Nishidai's Rasengan, but Yao's attack combines Fire Release and Lightning Release!"

"He actually developed an A-rank Ninjutsu on his own?!"

Developing an A-rank Ninjutsu independently at the age of twelve!

What monstrous talent was that?!

There was no longer any suspense regarding the assessment results.

With an indisputable, crushing advantage, Uchiha Yao passed the Elite Chunin assessment!

Not only did Uchiha Yao earn the title of Elite Chunin of the Police Force through this assessment, he also gained the right to participate in decision-making for certain Police Force affairs!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully advancing to Elite Chunin of the Uchiha Police Force, greatly increasing your status and prestige within the clan!

Reward distributed: Clan Honor Points +48,000! Personal Chakra reserves greatly increased (advanced to Jonin level)! Taijutsu strength enhanced once again (Jonin level)!

Uchiha Yao looked toward Uchiha Fugaku, whose expression was complicated as he sat in the audience.

My goal is far more than this.

Clan Head Fugaku, are you ready to welcome the arrival of a new era?

After the gathering ended, Uchiha Yao exchanged a few pleasantries with Tekka before returning to his room. He sat down cross-legged on the floor and began studying the system's new function.

System.

Uchiha Yao called out inwardly.

A pale blue screen suddenly unfolded before his eyes.

Uchiha Yao's gaze fell upon the system panel.

Host: Uchiha Yao
Status: Elite Chunin of the Konoha Police Force
Strength: Jonin (Entry Level)
Clan Honor Points: 51,525

More than fifty thousand Honor Points!

The Clan Skill Tree had been activated!

It was finally... unlocked!

He opened the Clan Skill Tree module.

A skill tree diagram as intricate as a star chart appeared before Uchiha Yao.

Countless nodes were packed closely together. Most were dimmed, while only several basic branches at the very top gave off a faint glow, marked as "Unlockable."

Bloodline Enhancement, Ninjutsu Inheritance, Resource Management, Clan Member Training...

Every branch represented a powerful path that could fundamentally elevate the Uchiha Clan's foundation!

Uchiha Yao fixed his gaze on the Bloodline Enhancement branch.

This was the true foundation of the Uchiha!

Without hesitation, Uchiha Yao selected the first node beneath the Bloodline Enhancement branch.

Skill Name: Basic Chakra Affinity Enhancement
Skill Effect: Grants all Uchiha clan members with loyalty of 70% or higher toward the host a permanent "Minor Chakra Affinity Increase" buff, permanently increasing their Chakra refinement speed by 5%.
Unlock Cost: 10,000 Clan Honor Points.
Unlock?

Ten thousand Honor Points!

Just the most basic skill required such an enormous amount of points!

But in Uchiha Yao's eyes...

It was worth it!

It was absolutely worth it!

This was not a buff that applied to him alone, but a group-wide enhancement for the entire clan!

A 5% increase in speed might seem insignificant.

But for such a massive clan, what a terrifying improvement would it become after accumulating over time?!

Unlock!

Uchiha Yao gave the command inwardly.

Ding! Consuming 10,000 Clan Honor Points...
Clan Skill "Basic Chakra Affinity Enhancement" successfully unlocked! All Uchiha clan members (with loyalty of 70% or higher toward the host) have had their Chakra affinity enhanced. Chakra refinement speed increased by 5%!

Centered on Uchiha Yao's room, an invisible, warm ripple spread out soundlessly, instantly enveloping the entire Uchiha clan compound!

At the same time, inside a Police Force training room.

"Hah!"

Uchiha Tetsu slammed his fist into a wooden post, sweat soaking his hair.

But at that moment, his movements halted, and an uncertain expression appeared on his face.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Uchiha Rin and Uchiha Kai, who were resting nearby, opened their eyes at the same time.

"You felt it too?" Rin asked with a frown. "Just now, I felt like... refining Chakra became a little easier?"

"Me too!" Kai shot to his feet, his face full of disbelief. "It's very slight, but I'm certain it isn't an illusion! My Chakra seems to be circulating just a tiny bit faster!"

The three looked at one another, seeing the same shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

It felt as though a clogged river channel had quietly been widened just a little, allowing the water to flow more smoothly on its own.

They did not know what had happened.

But they could be certain that this change was an enormous blessing for them!

This was... this was the system's truly heaven-defying aspect!

Mass-producing powerful people!

It improved the potential of the entire Uchiha Clan from the genetic level, from the very root of their bloodline!

Moreover, only Uchiha clan members loyal to the host could enjoy this enhancement, effectively preventing ingrates from appearing.

In a large clan, there would always be some members who betrayed their own people or could not distinguish right from wrong.

The most infamous example was Uchiha Itachi. There was no denying that Uchiha Itachi was powerful, but anyone capable of raising a butcher's blade and slaughtering the entire Uchiha Clan was not someone Uchiha Yao needed. Using the system's bonuses on such an ingrate would be a waste of effort.

Uchiha Yao's gaze returned to the brilliant star map of the skill tree.

After Basic Chakra Affinity Enhancement came Sharingan Awakening Rate Increase, faster ocular power nurturing, Fire Release Talent Strengthening...

Every skill made Uchiha Yao's heart surge with excitement!

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yao forcibly suppressed his excitement and began making calm plans.

Next, he would develop steadily and prepare for even harsher challenges.
