RoU Chapter 74: Kurama Yakumo moves to the Uchiha Clan
🕑 Added 2023-10-26 04:24:37 +0000 UTCNatsuo's reaction was intense, causing him to spit out the tea he was drinking.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Kurama Unkai... It doesn't seem quite appropriate, right?"
Kurama Unkai let out a sigh. He actually didn't want to marry off Kurama Yakumo so early.
After all, she was the only bloodline successor of the Kurama clan, the only one with an awakened Kekkei Genkai, and a peerless genius whose body was collapsing due to her overwhelming talent!
But not doing this was even worse. Because she was already at a loss!
The excessively powerful mental power made Kurama Yakumo's body weaker and would continue to deteriorate over time.
If there was still a glimmer of hope now, the longer they waited, the smaller that hope would become!
And...
The power of the Kurama clan in Konoha was becoming increasingly weak.
Originally, the Kurama clan had contributed several Jōnin and Chūnin to Konoha, but as time went on, the Kurama clan gradually declined, and now they didn't even have a single Jōnin.
Apart from the prestigious reputation inherited from their ancestors, they were just a small and unremarkable ninja clan!
Of course, similar to the Uchiha clan who experienced annihilation, the Kurama clan, which had no internal conflicts, still had a solid foundation and never lacked money.
Just like the Uchiha clan, which has been oppressed by others after its decline, the Kurama clan has also been subjected to various forms of bullying. Their weakened strength has made it impossible for them to preserve the wealth accumulated by their ancestors.
Now, Kurama Yakumo is the only hope of the Kurama clan. Her existence is more important to the clan than the clan leader, Kurama Unkai.
"The Kurama clan needs a strong individual who can handle the situation, and Yakumo is currently the only clan member who has the potential to support the Kurama clan."
Kurama Unkai sighed deeply. "To the best of my knowledge, there is no one better than the Uchiha clan at dealing with mental power... Clan leader Natsuo, you are Yakumo's only hope, and the Kurama clan's only hope."
Then, she described the current situation of the Kurama clan and made an effort to express her sincerity.
Natsuo nodded slightly. The Kurama clan has a low presence in Konoha, and he doesn't know much about them. But precisely because of their low presence, it proves the truthfulness of Kurama Unkai's words.
Even Yakumo's obsession with training, and even the fact that her parents forbade her from training, leading to the eruption of her inner demons and the death of her parents, is probably influenced by the current situation of the Kurama clan.
As the only awakened bloodline in the present, the Kurama clan has placed too many expectations on her. These expectations have overwhelmed her and created her inner demons.
"For your Kurama clan, this is like shaking their foundations." Natsuo sighed softly.
No kunoichi with an awakened Kekkei Genkai has the right to choose her own marriage in a Shinobi Clan. Kunoichis from families with Kekkei Genkai usually only marry within their own clan, and it is rare for them to marry outside.
For example, in the Naruto Series, in the future Yamanaka Ino would marry Sai, but it was Sai who joined the Yamanaka clan, instead of Ino forming a new family with Sai.
For the Kurama clan, it would be a huge loss for one of their members to marry outside the clan.
"Well, we have to solve the problem on her body." Kurama Unkai sighed bitterly. "If this continues, Yakumo may not live past twenty..."
"As long as you can solve the problem on Yakumo's body, the Kurama clan will have no objections."
"Of course, Yakumo's situation is special. She is allowed to marry you, but we hope that she can still carry the name of the Kurama clan and complete missions for Konoha."
Kurama Unkai said in a deep voice. "We hope that the first male child she gives birth to will be raised by the Kurama clan. And unless the Uchiha clan's Sharingan awakens, we hope that child will belong to the Kurama clan."
Yakumo's talent is too high. According to bloodline theory, her child will definitely inherit a considerable amount of talent.
The rise of the Kurama clan is within reach...
Of course, all of this is on the condition that Natsuo can solve the problem on Yakumo's body, but Kurama Unkai doesn't think it's a big issue.
'Although Uchiha Itachi has a notorious reputation, he definitely has some kind of connection with the Uchiha clan.' Kurama Unkai thought to himself: 'Maybe he regretted wiping out the Uchiha clan and still hopes to return to the Uchiha clan...'
Even though Uchiha Itachi committed the act of wiping out the clan, can you see any signs of a clan annihilator in his subsequent assistance to the Uchiha clan?
There are rumors that he personally told Daimyō: 'Everything related to the Uchiha clan belongs to me. If you harm the Uchiha clan, you harm my interests.'
This information has been circulating among the major clans for a long time and cannot be faked.
Perhaps Uchiha Itachi has a close connection with Natsuo in secret.
Natsuo may not be able to heal Yakumo, but Uchiha Itachi might be able to!
If the chances of healing were not extremely high, Kurama Unkai would not have directly approached with the intention of 'marrying off Yakumo'.
This marriage, which involves the most talented individuals within the clan, cannot be decided by the clan head alone. It must have gone through high-level discussions within the clan...
Natsuo certainly didn't think of this at first, but under Kurama Unkai's repeated hints, he quickly understood.
"So, you came for Uchiha Itachi." Natsuo said helplessly.
But it doesn't really matter, the difference is not significant.
"Yakumo, what do you think?" Natsuo turned his head and asked.
"Do you want to marry me?"
Yakumo's fair face blushed with shyness, but her words were resolute.
"As long as you can heal my body and allow me to practice normally, I am willing to do it!"
In her eyes, there was a firm determination: "I want to become a shinobi, this is my dream!"
"Moreover..."
"This is also for the clan!"
She and Natsuo met for the first time today, and there were no feelings between them. Although she was very satisfied with Natsuo's appearance, it was too exaggerated to say that she liked him and wanted to marry him at first sight.
But many times, people are not in control, especially shinobi clan.
They all have the responsibility to give everything for the clan...
Like Natsuo, who works hard to take wives, and find excellent partners at all costs, and works hard to provide for the family every night and soothe the emotions of each wife during the day...
Why is he working so hard? Isn't this also for the revival of the clan? Who made Natsuo love the Uchiha clan so deeply?
"I understand. As a fellow clan member who also needs to go through fire and water for the clan, I understand your feelings and admire your dedication..." Natsuo pondered for a moment. "But your age..."
"What's wrong with my age?"
Kurama Yakumo looked puzzled. "According to Konoha's laws, I am already eligible for marriage."
Kurama Unkai seems to have more thoughts and understanding than Yakumo. "Are you saying that Yakumo is not at the optimal age for conception yet? But that shouldn't be a problem. Her body is weak, and she can't start getting pregnant right away..."
Natsuo opened his mouth.
Well, according to Konoha's laws, Yakumo doesn't have any problems.
After all, Konoha's laws have always encouraged girls to have children early, which seems to be a custom passed down from the Sengoku period, considering that the average lifespan during the Sengoku period was only thirty years.
If you don't have children early, you won't see them grow up.
Although I don't feel comfortable in my heart. After all... Yakumo is fair and beautiful. Let's consider that I am raising another future wife along with Karin.
The key is that the Kurama clan is comparable to the Uchiha clan in the field of genjutsu, and Yakumo possesses the strongest mental power of the Kurama clan, to the extent that even Yūhi Kurenai, who already has Jōnin-level strength, cannot solve it.
Considering Yakumo's young age, her mental power has not yet reached its peak.
In comparison, if it were the Uchiha clan...
This is equivalent to being born with the formidable talent of the Mangekyō Sharingan. If her body can withstand it, this girl could at least become Kage-level.
"Since that's the case, then wait for my news... I'll think of a way to see if I can solve Yakumo's problem." Natsuo pretended to ponder for a moment and spoke.
Previously Natsuo said that he couldn't solve Yakumo's problem, but the moment they said she could marry you, then you can solve it...
Natsuo didn't want to embarrass Kurama Unkai too much. Just pretend to 'prepare' for a few days, just to give a hint.
Kurama Unkai and Kurama Yakumo, however, thought that Natsuo intended to contact Uchiha Itachi and needed some time.
So, Kurama Unkai pondered for a moment and said to Yakumo: "Yakumo, you should stay in the Uchiha clan for now, it will also be convenient for some inspections..."
"Yes, uncle." Yakumo also understood the deeper meaning in his uncle's words and nodded.
From then on, Kurama Yakumo moved to the Uchiha clan.
She worked diligently, helping Natsuo's wives take care of the children, and with a clumsy but hardworking attitude, she took the initiative to help with some household chores. Even though as a member of the Kurama clan, she had never done such things before.
But she still tried her best to perform well. Every time she saw Natsuo, she held her head high, showing her most spirited appearance. At the same time, she clumsily imitated the appearance she saw in a movie somewhere, playing with her hair and posing to seduce Natsuo.
Seeing this, Natsuo couldn't help but want to laugh.
But Yakumo was still trying her best. Despite marrying into the Uchiha family, which she didn't know at all, she was filled with anticipation.
She didn't care about the benefits of marrying into the Uchiha family at all.
But the premise of marrying into the Uchiha clan is to solve her own physical problem. This means that once she marries into the Uchiha clan, she can start training.
This has been her dream since she was young. So, in reality, she wants to marry Natsuo as quickly as possible.
Natsuo has also started to put on a show these days, occasionally going to the Uchiha clan library to look up some information. Although it is a waste of time, it is worth it when you consider the potential benefits of having a wife with the potential to reach the Kage level.
At the same time as reading, he can also take the opportunity to do his own experiments when no one is around.
With Natsuo's increasing medical knowledge, his experiments have gradually made new progress.
A potion derived from Jūgo's cells that can enhance a person's physical strength has been made.
Once used, while exchanging for power, the ultimate result is a significant reduction in lifespan, and it may even die in the explosion of power.
This is obviously not what Natsuo wants.
He just casually sells these semi-finished potions on the black market in exchange for experimental funds. After all, he spent quite a bit of money on Ringo Ameyuri, a Kage-level kunoichi.
In order to encourage Kakuzu's enthusiasm, this money must not be owed.
This has led to some financial constraints in the Uchiha clan recently.
"I have to continue researching!" Natsuo looked at the various reagents in the bottles and jars, feeling excited.
"It's not far from being able to research a potion that is suitable for all my wives!"
