"It's that vast, boundless—"
"The vast universe!!"
When Uchiha Gen'yō's domineering declaration, filled with supreme ambition, resounded like thunder from the heavens deep within the souls of all Uchiha clan members, the entire top of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Tower fell into absolute silence!
The stars and the sea?
What is that?
For these ninjas who have lived since birth on this planet enveloped by the energy barrier of the " World Tree," the end of the "sky" is that cold, clear moon.
They never imagined that behind that moon, in that eternal darkness, there existed a far greater world called the "universe"!
"My lord... what do you mean...?"
For the first time Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan, which resembled blood-red Uzumaki, revealed an undisguised and utter shock and confusion.
He couldn't understand.
Isn't the destiny of the Uchiha Clan to end the endless strife and hatred on this land and establish an eternal peaceful order?
Why would it be associated with that distant and ethereal "sea of stars"?
Uchiha Gen'yō saw the confusion in everyone's hearts.
Instead of explaining directly, he slowly raised his hand and pointed to the huge, silvery-white moon hanging high in the sky outside the divine tower.
"What do you think that is?"
Without a second thought, Uchiha Shō blurted out, "The moon! What else could it be?"
"Yes, it's the moon."
A meaningful smile curved at the corner of Uchiha Gen'yō's lips.
"But it is also a prison."
"A colossal surveillance and sealing device built by a group of outsiders who call themselves 'gods' in order to 'dominate' life on our planet and to more easily harvest the 'fruits' from us!"
"What?!"
This statement shocked the entire world!
Cage? Captivity? Fruit?
These words, filled with malice and coldness, instantly overturned the established worldview of all the Uchiha clan members!
"Those outsiders called themselves the Ōtsutsuki Clan '."
Uchiha Gen'yō's voice turned cold and filled with undisguised killing intent.
"They are a wandering race from the depths of distant stars. They are like a swarm of locusts, scattering the seeds of the God Tree ' throughout the universe, waiting for the seeds to absorb the life energy of an entire planet, Chakra Fruit,' and then descend upon it to devour it, thus gaining eternal life and immense power."
"And our planet is but an insignificant corner of their vast 'orchard.'"
"From the moment we are born, we are all merely 'nourishment' cultivated by them."
boom--!!!
When the word "nourishment" came out of Uchiha Gen'yō's mouth, an uncontrollable anger and humiliation from the depths of his blood instantly swept over the entire body of every Uchiha clan member present!
Especially arrogant young men like Uchiha Shō were trembling with rage, their proud faces covered with bulging veins from extreme anger!
"Asshole!!"
"Using our Uchiha Clan as nourishment?! Those so-called 'gods' dare to challenge us?!"
"That's right!"
"We are the noblest bloodline in the world! Why should we become someone else's food!"
"Kill them! My lord! Let's go and kill those Ōtsutsuki!!"
The crowd was outraged!
The thousands of Uchiha children who had just been somewhat confused and bewildered instantly ignited a raging fire in their eyes that was even more ferocious and bloodthirsty than when they had faced Konoha, after learning this cruel truth!
For the Uchiha, nothing could provoke their proud pride more than being treated like livestock!
Looking at the excited faces below, Uchiha Gen'yō nodded in satisfaction.
That's exactly the effect he wanted.
A race without external threats is easily prone to decay and internal strife in its complacency.
Only by establishing a common enemy that is powerful enough and filled with hatred can the entire Uchiha Clan be united as one, unleashing their strongest cohesion and fighting power!
"Very good."
Uchiha Gen'yō's voice rang out again, instantly silencing all the noise.
"It seems you've realized your situation."
His gaze slowly fell upon the semi-transparent blue screen in his palm.
"And the reason I know all this, the reason I possess my current power, is because of this—"
"The ultimate secret of our Uchiha Clan's bloodline, and our only reliance for defying fate and conquering the stars—"
" Clan Reproduction System."
Uchiha Gen'yō's voice became incredibly sacred and solemn.
"This system, just like its name suggests, has only two core components."
"First, is 'reproduction'."
His gaze swept over everyone present, his eyes filled with an unquestionable, absolute command.
"From this day forward, all Uchiha clan members who are sixteen years of age or older must take the expansion and growth of our clan as their highest mission!"
"I will provide you with the best living environment, the most perfect gene matching program, and the most powerful bloodline enhancement potion!"
"All you have to do is give birth! Give birth as many times as you can!"
"I want the black hair and red eyes of the Uchiha to cover every corner of this planet!"
"I want to increase the Uchiha population to over one million, ten million, or even over one hundred million in the shortest possible time!"
This command, which was so simple and brutally straightforward and reminiscent of a farming game, left the Uchiha children present completely bewildered.
Especially Uchiha Yōko, whose brain, comparable to a supercomputer, even seemed to malfunction somewhat.
She had considered countless ways for her lord to lead them to glory, such as conquering the world with absolute force or leading the era with cutting-edge technology.
But the one thing she never imagined was that the final solution would be... to have a baby?
Isn't this too simple and unadorned?
However, Uchiha Gen'yō's next words made them instantly understand the terrifying strategic significance hidden behind this "simple and unadorned" demeanor.
"Because the second core of the system is 'war'!"
Uchiha Gen'yō's voice suddenly rose, filled with a cold, murderous aura of iron and blood!
"The system will bind our entire Uchiha Clan into one entity!"
"Our population size is the source of our strength!"
"Every victory, every conquest we achieve brings about an advancement in our bloodline and a leap in our power for the entire race!"
"And our ultimate goal is to drag those high and Ōtsutsuki ' down from their divine thrones, trample them underfoot, and take everything they have for ourselves!"
"With their blood and bones, we Uchiha Clan will pave our eternal divine path to the pinnacle of the universe!!"
At this point, Uchiha Gen'yō suddenly waved his hand!
The blue system screen in his palm instantly shone brightly!
Immediately afterwards, a system notification sound filled with supreme majesty and vastness rang out simultaneously in the minds of all the Uchiha clan members!
[bite--!]
[The host has been detected to have completed the initial unification of the world and revealed the final truth to the core clan members. The " Clan Reproduction System - Interstellar Expedition" module is now officially activated!]
[The first phase of the epic main questline, " Cleansing of the Cradle," is now available!]
[Mission Objective 1: Completely eliminate or subdue all members of the " Otsutsuki Branch Family " hiding in this world (such as the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki on the moon).]
[Mission Objective Two: Analyze and master the core technologies of the " God Tree " and the " Chakra Fruit," transforming them into strategic resources exclusive to our race.]
[Mission Objective 3: Repair and upgrade the world barrier damaged by the Ōtsutsuki Clan, completely transforming this world into a secure "war fortress" and "resource base" exclusively for our race.]
[Mission Time Limit: Ten Years]
[Mission Reward: The entire clan's bloodline advances! A new Uchiha- exclusive Dōjutsu is randomly unlocked! The second phase of the expedition mission begins – " The Prelude to the Hunt "!]
[Mission Failure Penalty: The " Ōtsutsuki Main Family " patrol arrives prematurely, this world will suffer a dimensional reduction attack, and all clan members will be forcibly transformed into nourishment for the " Chakra Fruit "!]
After the cold and cruel system notification ended, the breathing of all the Uchiha clan members became extremely heavy at that moment!
ten years!
They only have ten years!
If they are not prepared in ten years, they will be annihilated by the true "gods" through a dimensional attack!
An unprecedented, overwhelming sense of crisis, powerful enough to freeze one's very soul, instantly engulfed them like an icy tide!
But along with the sense of crisis surged a fiercer, more frenzied fighting spirit!
Bloodline advancement!
A brand new Dōjutsu!
This is an irresistible temptation for the Uchiha Clan, who value power and glory above all else!
"Ten years... is enough!"
Uchiha Shō was the first to let out an excited roar, his Mitsudomoe Sharingan spinning wildly with extreme excitement!
"Aren't they just a bunch of cowardly turtles hiding on the moon? Watch me lead my men and wipe them out, moon and all!"
"That's right! And that God Tree and its fruit! They all belong to the Uchiha clan!"
"My lord! Give the order! We can't wait any longer!"
Looking at the faces below, brimming with fighting spirit, Uchiha Gen'yō revealed a satisfied smile.
However, he shook his head.
"No rush."
"Before cleaning the 'cradle,' we have something even more important to do."
His gaze swept across the entire area, finally settling on the Uchiha ancestors who had arrived with him and been resurrected by the system.
Those powerful Uchiha members who were renowned during the Warring States period were now looking at him with excitement and fervor.
That is--
Uchiha Gen'yō's voice became extremely solemn.
"To welcome back our strongest ancestor, the very source of our bloodline, for the Uchiha Clan!"
"Let the war god who slumbers in the Pure Land rise once more upon the earth!"
"Proclaim to him that a true era belonging to the Uchiha has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, all the resurrected Uchiha ancestors shuddered violently!
Their faces revealed an uncontrollable, extreme fervor and reverence!
Of course they knew who the "strongest ancestor" their lord spoke of was!
That was a legend whose very name was enough to make the entire Shinobi World tremble!
He was a man who embodied the word "power" to its fullest extent!
That was the only Uchiha legend who could rival, or even surpass, the " God of Shinobi " Hashirama Senju!
The expressions on the faces of Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha were incredibly complex upon hearing this name.
Uchiha Gen'yō slowly raised his Kamui Eyes, which were burning with nine golden halos. His gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, through the boundary between life and death, and looked towards that endless Pure Land belonging to the dead!
His majestic and awe-inspiring voice, like the laws of Creation, resounded throughout the world and even in another dimension!
"In the name of the Uchiha Divine Dynasty, the lord of the Uchiha Gen'yō— "
" The Rinne Rebirth!"
"Awaken! The strongest legend of the Uchiha Clan— "
" Madara Uchiha!!"
