An Uchiha born with great love

[You have gained 404 Great Love Points!]

[You have obtained "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi: Author-Signed Edition"!]

As expected of Naruto Uzumaki!

Although the rewards fell short of the first time, they could still be called "generous."

But that number of [Great Love Points]... was it serious?

And the physical reward was pretty bizarre, too...

"Now this is the book you should be reading, Naruto."

Uchiha Minamoto discreetly put away Icha Icha Paradise, then pretended to take the reward book out of the ninja tool pouch he carried.

"Jiraiya wrote this book too, and the main character even has the exact same name as you."

A little-known fact.

The "Uzumaki" in Naruto Uzumaki came from his mother, Kushina Uzumaki.

And "Naruto" came straight from Jiraiya's The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi!

As for Minato Namikaze?

Heh.

Just the biological father...

"Huh?"

Naruto Uzumaki accepted The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi with both hands and carefully hugged it to his chest.

"Big bro, you saw me?"

The question was so stupid that Uchiha Minamoto had no idea how to respond. All he could do was keep smiling.

"Don't you have class?"

"We have today off."

"Don't you have..."

With the words on the tip of his tongue, Uchiha Minamoto swallowed the word "friends" and said instead,

"You haven't eaten, right? Let's have lunch together!"

"Really? Big bro!" Naruto Uzumaki's eyes instantly lit up. "Can I really?"

"Let's go. I'm hungry too."

Uchiha Minamoto rubbed his stomach.

A whole morning of frantically farming rewards had left him mentally exhilarated.

Only now, after things had settled down for a moment, did Uchiha Minamoto clearly feel the signals of extreme hunger coming from his stomach.

It wasn't just because his patrol duties involved a lot of exercise.

It was even more because of that [Thunder Breathing].

Now, every breath Uchiha Minamoto took consumed a tiny amount of chakra.

Little by little, it all added up.

The total amount of chakra consumed by [Thunder Breathing] as it ran nonstop for all eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds of the day was enormous!

That expenditure could only be replenished by taking in energy from outside.

Am I going to turn into a big eater too?

Uchiha Minamoto's stomach began to growl.

I feel like I could eat an entire cow in one sitting...

"Naruto, what do you want to eat?"

"Anything's fine!"

"Then let's... hmm?"

Uchiha Minamoto swept his gaze around and suddenly spotted a "familiar" sign nearby.

"Ichiraku Ramen!"

"Yay!"

Inside the Ichiraku Ramen Shop.

At noon, the shop was packed with people.

Uchiha Minamoto and Naruto Uzumaki walked in together.

"Boss."

Uchiha Minamoto looked toward Ichiraku, secretly activating [Heart of Great Love].

"One extra-large pork miso chashu ramen!"

One look was enough to tell.

Identified as an ordinary person.

Not some "Ikkaku Otsutsuki."

Naruto Uzumaki followed right after him.

"Same for me!"

Ichiraku showed no particular emotion at the appearance of the peculiar pairing of "an Uchiha and the demon fox's son."

A few customers nearby, however, looked disgusted.

But out of deference to the name of the "Konoha Military Police Force," none of them dared complain to their faces. They simply left in silence.

Naruto Uzumaki was extremely sensitive to changes in other people's emotions. He clenched his fists and asked quietly,

"Big bro! Are they 'dogs'?"

Uchiha Minamoto paused, recalling what he had told Naruto Uzumaki that morning about "dogs biting people."

After a moment's thought, he still gave an answer true to himself.

"If you think they are, then they are!"

"Oh..."

Naruto Uzumaki nodded. He glanced at Ichiraku, who was still cooking the noodles, then suddenly hopped off his chair.

"Big bro, I'm heading outside for a bit."

"Mm."

Uchiha Minamoto nodded, his expression calm.

"Be quick. Ramen gets soggy easily."

"Yes, big bro!"

Naruto Uzumaki rushed out of the Ichiraku Ramen Shop like a gust of wind.

The kindhearted member of the Konoha Military Police Force had no idea what happened outside.

It was just that the [Great Love System] suddenly popped up.

[Your subordinate has punished troublemaking Konoha civilians!]

[You have gained 2 Great Love Points!]

[You have obtained 100 ryo!]

"Hmm..."

Uchiha Minamoto instinctively glanced at the panel, then suddenly froze.

"Huh?!"

A subordinate?

Since when did he have a subordinate?

No, wait!

Things Naruto Uzumaki did could count toward him too?!

That actually worked?!

Uchiha Minamoto's eyes shone, like Columbus discovering a new continent.

He realized that his previous exploration of the [Great Love System] had been far too shallow!

No wonder!

No wonder!

One person's abilities have limits!

The sacred [Great Love System] connects every one of us!

Since Naruto Uzumaki could be recognized as Uchiha Minamoto's subordinate and help him farm [Great Love Points],

could other people do it too?

For example...

The ninja of the Uchiha Clan!

Every member of the Konoha Military Police Force!

Or even all the ninja in Konoha!

Uchiha Minamoto pictured it.

If he climbed one step, then another, then another, all the way to the top, reaching Konoha's pinnacle,

then the [Great Love Points] that all the ninja in Konoha could provide him would absolutely be an astronomical figure!

No!

Not just ninja!

If he was only comparing sheer numbers,

the number of ordinary people in the Shinobi World far exceeded the number of ninja!

What they lacked in quality, they could make up for in quantity.

Let's set a small goal first-become commander of the Konoha Military Police Force!

Uchiha Minamoto let out a long breath.

Let the world remember!

Uchiha ninja are ninja of love!

The Uchiha Clan is a clan of love!

From this moment on, let the world feel great love!

Chapter 8: You're right, but this is the Sharingan!

Konoha wasn't built in a day.

The rice-hauling god from the village next door (crossed out)-

Pain had also waited until he had developed the Akatsuki under his command to a certain size before beginning his grand plan to capture the Tailed Beasts and make the world feel pain.

For Uchiha Minamoto, at his current stage, there was no need to consider distant dreams such as getting promoted and receiving a raise, becoming commander, taking office as the Fifth Hokage, marrying the Moon Goddess, or expanding the Uchiha Clan.

Work hard and cultivate underlings.

That was what Uchiha Minamoto ought to be doing now!
