"..."
Uchiha Gen'yō looked at the scarlet warning in front of him, which seemed to carry a hint of "human" mockery. Even with his experience of living two lives, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Pressuring someone to get married?
This system is actually pressuring us to get married?!
Moreover, the reasons given were so plausible that he couldn't refute them at all.
"Personally get involved and ensure implementation..."
Gen'yō helplessly rubbed his forehead.
He did indeed overlook this issue.
Since his transmigration, he has focused all his energy on how to lead the Uchiha out of Konoha, how to establish themselves, and how to grow stronger. He has not given any thought to his personal life.
But now, the system has directly elevated "population growth" to the level of an SS-level main quest, and it is directly linked to system upgrades and massive rewards.
More importantly, the penalty for failure is system hibernation!
This is absolutely unacceptable to Gen'yō.
This system has become an indispensable part of his power structure; once he goes into hibernation, many of his plans will be unable to proceed.
"It seems it's time to put this on the agenda."
Gen'yō's eyes deepened.
For him, marriage is not merely a union between a man and a woman, but also a means of resource integration and maximizing benefits.
The spouse he needs is definitely not just a pretty face.
The other party must possess a sufficiently powerful bloodline, a sufficiently intelligent mind, and... a sufficiently illustrious background, capable of providing substantial assistance to the Uchiha's future.
Throughout the entire Shinobi World, women who meet these criteria are extremely rare.
Moreover, most of them are treasures of various ninja villages, and it's impossible for them to marry outside the village.
"What a hassle..."
For the first time, Gen'yō felt a sense of unease.
However, just as he was pondering which ninja village to "snatch" a princess to bring back as his wife, a voice filled with flattery and awe came from below the castle tower.
"Report to Lord Gen'yō!"
" The Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Ōnoki, has come to pay his respects with the 'talent' he speaks of! They await your summons at the city entrance!"
"Oh? You're here?"
Uchiha Gen'yō's eyes lit up slightly.
It's like someone just brings you a pillow when you're about to fall asleep.
He was just wondering how to expand the family's professional talent pool when Ōnoki, his "best partner," came knocking on his door.
"Let them in."
"Take them on a tour of our new city, especially that ' Mother and Child Sanctuary '."
A meaningful smile appeared on Gen'yō's lips.
"Let them see for themselves what kind of bright future they can gain by following my Uchiha."
"Yes!"
Half an hour later.
On the main thoroughfare of the Uchiha Sacred Land.
The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, surrounded by his son, Kitsuchi, and dozens of elites from various fields in Iwagakure, looked around with a blank expression, like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden.
Even though they had already seen it once through telescopic Ninjutsu, the visual and emotional impact when they were actually there was still unparalleled!
A wide, flat street, large enough to accommodate ten horse-drawn carriages side by side.
The houses on both sides are lined up one after another, with a unified style and full of beauty.
A faint rumbling sound came from beneath the city; it was the rudimentary energy and water supply system, laid out by the construction golems, in operation.
The air was filled with the refreshing life force of the World Tree.
All of this made them feel as if they had arrived in a legendary Pure Land!
"Is this... the city where the gods reside?"
The Iwagakure's top architect stroked the smooth, flawless walls of a house, his voice trembling with excitement.
He even knelt on the ground, carefully chipping off a small piece of building material with a tool, and examined it closely. His expression was as if he had seen some priceless treasure.
"Incredible... The density and hardness of this material have surpassed even the strongest special rock in our Iwagakure!"
"And... and it was shaped instantly! This... this completely overturns the fundamental laws of architecture!"
When they were led to the newly completed " Mother and Child Sanctuary " that radiated a soft, holy light, everyone's souls were completely purified by the overwhelming, sacred, and powerful life energy that rushed towards them!
"I... I feel that the hidden injuries I sustained from Dust Release are actually... actually being repaired!"
Ōnoki floated in mid-air, his whole body trembling violently!
He could clearly sense that the life energy contained within this building was even more terrifying in its purity and vastness than that of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, whom he had personally witnessed!
"Father!"
Kitsuchi Tu stared at his hands in horror.
"I feel my Chakra... automatically becoming more concentrated! Just standing here is equivalent to half a day of my arduous training!"
"A miracle! This is absolutely a miracle!"
The Iwagakure physicians who accompanied them were even more frenzied. Ignoring the Uchiha guards' attempts to stop them, they desperately tried to rush into the temple to find out what was going on!
Looking at this group of Iwagakure elites who resembled pilgrims, Uchiha Fugaku, who was leading the way, revealed a genuine sense of pride and honor on his face.
Once upon a time, the Uchiha in Konoha were treated like rats in the street, ostracized and monitored.
But now, they have become the "gods" that Iwagakure, one of the five great villages, worships!
All of this was caused by that man!
Just then, a calm yet majestic voice came from the steps of the temple.
" Tsuchikage, are you satisfied with the new home of the Uchiha?"
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that Uchiha Gen'yō had somehow appeared at the entrance of the temple, looking at them calmly.
"Completely... satisfied! More than just satisfied!"
Ōnoki was startled and quickly led everyone over, bowing deeply to Gen'yō.
" Lord Gen'yō! What you have created is not just a city, but a completely new era!"
"Today, I've brought the most outstanding talents from our village to contribute to your great cause!"
Ōnoki turned to the side, revealing the elites from various fields behind him.
There are architects, doctors, array masters, logistics management experts...
It could be said that he practically delivered the entire logistics and research system of Iwagakure!
This sincerity is truly commendable.
"Very good."
Gen'yō nodded in satisfaction.
His gaze swept over the trembling elites of Iwagakure one by one, but finally paused slightly.
His gaze lingered on a figure behind Ōnoki, a figure that seemed somewhat out of place among the others.
She was a young woman who looked to be only in her early twenties.
She was tall and slender, dressed in a Jonin Iwagakure, which perfectly accentuated her curvaceous and voluptuous figure.
Her beautiful short black hair made her fair skin and pretty face even more striking.
What is most striking are her unique pair of red eyes, which seem to contain a fiery, molten glow.
Those eyes didn't hold the same awe and fear as others; instead, they carried an undisguised scrutiny, curiosity, and... a hint of provocation.
Seemingly noticing Gen'yō's gaze, Ōnoki quickly smiled and introduced.
"Hehe, I forgot to introduce you, Lord Gen'yō."
"This is my most unworthy granddaughter, and also Kurotsuchi's older sister."
" Akahoshi."
"She is the only one among the younger generation of our Iwagakure who has inherited my ' Lava Release ' Kekkei Genkai."
"From today onwards, she will serve as our liaison officer for Iwagakure, representing me fully, and will be stationed by your side, ready to serve you."
After saying that, Ōnoki winked at the girl named Akahoshi.
" Akahoshi, have you not greeted Lord Gen'yō yet!"
However, the girl named Akahoshi merely pursed her lips. Instead of bowing, she crossed her arms and spoke to Gen'yō in a slightly lazy and provocative tone.
"Hey, you're the Uchiha Clan Head who turned our village upside down and scared my grandpa like a grandson?"
"It doesn't look that great."
"I've heard you're pretty good at fighting? Interested in sparring with me?"
"If you can beat me, I'll admit you're worthy of making my grandfather kneel so humbly!"
