Seeing that the newcomers meant trouble, the women beside Xia Yu had already stepped in front of him to shield him before he could react, shouting angrily:
"What are you going to do to our darling?! He's not going with you!"
The Anbu members exchanged glances. It was inconvenient to resort to violence in front of the villagers, so the Anbu Captain leading them cleared his throat and said evenly:
"Calm down. These are orders from Lord Third Hokage. After the terrible things that happened to the Uchiha Clan, Lord Third wishes to offer his sincere condolences to the Uchiha survivor, Xia Yu."
At the mention of the Hokage, the women slowly lowered the arms they had held out in front of Xia Yu.
The Third Hokage's influence in Konoha was absolute. Apart from the Uchiha clansmen, everyone held the Third in great respect, and no one would disobey his orders.
Having explained their purpose, the three Anbu grabbed Xia Yu, hoisted him up, and vanished from the street in an instant.
Xia Yu wanted to resist, but his strength was simply no match for theirs. He could only leave himself at their mercy.
Soon, the three Anbu arrived with Xia Yu outside an office.
"Get in and wait here quietly! Lord Third and Lord Danzo will be here shortly."
With a sweep of his arm, the Anbu Captain hurled Xia Yu inside.
Their eyes held nothing but indifference and contempt as they looked at Xia Yu.
"Ugh, that hurts."
How could Xia Yu's weak, frail body withstand such rough treatment? He struggled up from the floor and shouted angrily, "Hey! Weren't you going to offer me your sincere condolences? Why are you treating me like this?!"
The Anbu Captain said, "Hmph. The Uchiha Clan was so arrogant and overbearing, yet a traitor from its own ranks single-handedly plunged it into the abyss overnight. All that's left is a lecher and a delirious brat named Sasuke. How ironic..."
An Anbu member said, "Xia Yu, whose daughter did you go ruin last night? You really are lucky. If not for your lecherous habits, you'd probably have become a corpse last night too. But Itachi didn't come looking for you after wiping out the clan. I suppose he thought trash like you didn't even need to be purged..."
Listening to their malicious mockery, Xia Yu could bear it no longer. He wanted to get up and fight back, but he did not even have the strength to throw a punch.
"Damn it!" His head clouded with rage, Xia Yu fumbled against the pouch at the back of his waist.
I can't beat you up, but I can kill you with shuriken! Whatever kind of person this body used to belong to, at least I've got some backbone now!
Xia Yu reached into the pouch, grabbed what was inside, and flung it with all his strength.
Three square objects in pink wrappers landed harmlessly against the Anbu. The three froze, then suddenly burst into laughter.
These were no shuriken. They were clearly brand-new condoms.
"Hahahaha... Xia Yu, that's just like you. You really do your Uchiha Clan proud. Are all your clan's ninja tools things like these?"
"I'm dying! This is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life!"
"This piece of trash keeps redefining what I thought was possible. I can say for certain that the Uchiha will never rise again. Hahaha..."
"I can't take it. If Lord Hokage and Lord Danzo see us losing our composure like this, we'll definitely get reprimanded. Let's step outside first. Just looking at Xia Yu's face makes me want to laugh. Haha..."
Still laughing, the three retreated outside. With a bang, the door shut tight, and their mocking laughter could still be faintly heard from beyond it.
"Damn it!"
Xia Yu clenched his fist and struck the floor feebly.
Without enough strength, all he could do was suffer humiliation.
"System! Are you there? Hurry up and bind with me! I want to get stronger!"
[You finally remembered me.] [This system is called Progeny Prosper the Clan. My young friend Xia Yu, I look forward to working with you. I'll give you a splendid future. Heh heh heh...]
"Progeny... prosper the clan?"
[System binding successful. Would you like to open the beginner's gift pack? It contains many supreme ninja arts. Guaranteed to be worth it.]
"Open it!"
At the words "ninja arts," how could Xia Yu hesitate?
Right now, all he wanted was to master powerful ninja arts immediately and wipe out those three loudmouths outside the door.
[Beginner's gift pack successfully claimed. Select one of the following four ninja arts. Once selected, you will immediately gain perfect mastery of it.]
"Awesome!"
Xia Yu's eyes lit up. Being able to master ninja arts instantly was fucking amazing!
A transparent screen suddenly appeared out of thin air before him.
On the screen, four little ninja art booklets appeared in plain sight.
[Ninja art: Unyielding Technique: After using this technique, you will possess an extremely firm and sturdy body!] [Ninja art: Perseverance Technique: Your physique will possess tremendous endurance!] [Ninja art: Lucky Jackpot Technique: Defies science and guarantees a hit! Before this technique, any condition that prevents conception will be rendered ineffective!] [Ninja art: Hearts in Harmony Technique: The ultimate charm skill, effective on any member of the opposite sex. Utter devotion, ending only in death!] [Casting any of the four techniques above consumes no life force, only chakra, and will not affect your corresponding organs in the slightest...] [Choose one, my young friend Xia Yu. Heh heh heh... They're all very suitable for you.]
"..."
Xia Yu was dumbfounded.
What the fuck was all this?
"System? You call this ninjutsu??"
"Sure, they're all pretty good! But I don't need them right now!"
