RoU Chapter 57: I'm just doing it for the child
🕑 Added 2023-10-18 16:29:07 +0000 UTC[Offspring +1, the comprehensive potential evaluation is 121, you gain +10 Mental Power, Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees.]
This is the boost brought by Yūhi Kurenai's son. The +10 bonus to mental power is equivalent to the combined power of five or six ordinary children.
"This is probably what a genius ninja looks like." Natsuo sighed in his heart.
Compared to Uzuki Yūgao, Yūhi Kurenai is slightly stronger in strength and slightly more talented.
Coupled with Natsuo's own growth, the potential of the child has increased significantly. Even the rewarded ninjutsu has improved a lot.
"Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees, this is Senju Hashirama's ninjutsu!" Natsuo thought to himself.
He found a place to test it when he had some free time, and its power was indeed impressive.
However, it consumes a lot of chakra and Natsuo still cannot match the level at which the First Hokage releases this jutsu.
But as Natsuo continues to grow, he will soon be able to catch up with the First Hokage. By then, the power of his Wood Release will be able to match that of Senju Hashirama or could even be even stronger.
...
After Yūhi Kurenai gave birth to her son, several wives also gave birth one after another. Among them are several Jōnin-level kunoichis.
However, even though they are Jōnin-level kunoichis, their talent seems to be far inferior to Yūhi Kurenai and Uzuki Yūgao.
Their average evaluation score is around 80, with the highest score being 95.
Although they have surpassed Natsuo's first wives, they have not yet surpassed the 100-point mark.
Naturally, Natsuo accompanied his wives one by one, making them smile and assuring them that he would take care of them and their children.
However, Yūhi Kurenai's expression seemed a bit gloomy.
After giving birth, it seemed like she no longer had any reason to stay in the Uchiha clan. At this moment, a large hand gently grabbed her hand.
"Kurenai." Natsuo's eyes were deep, his voice full of sincerity, "Can you stay a little longer? Just consider it as staying to accompany me..."
Yūhi Kurenai turned her head and said, "I don't want to join your harem... This is not the life I want."
"Is that so?... In the end, I'm still not good enough for you?" Natsuo smiled bitterly. "But even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider the child, right?"
"He has just been born and needs the company of his parents, and intimate care..."
"Can you stay for him?"
Yūhi Kurenai opened her mouth, looking at Natsuo's pleading expression, and her heart softened.
"Very well, I'm doing it for the child... After all, the Uchiha clan's childcare system is the most complete, and so far, there hasn't been a single problem."
The Uchiha clan has never spared any expense in recruiting people from Konoha Hospital. When it comes to maternal and child safety and care, it has always had the best of the best.
Uchiha babies are not without sudden illnesses or difficult deliveries. Although Natsuo takes good care of them, with the increasing number, occasional problems do occur.
But the costly medical care ensures that every child is born healthy, and so far, there has not been a single stillbirth! Every child grows up healthy and happy every day.
In fact, these children receive rewards from the system the moment they are born. The future life and death, strength and weakness of the children will not affect Natsuo's strength.
But they are still his own children. Natsuo naturally wants to take good care of them.
For this reason, Yūhi Kurenai feels that it is very 'reasonable' for her to stay in the Uchiha clan for a while longer.
"Thank you, Kurenai!" Natsuo said, instantly turning from bitterness to happiness, showing a sincere smile.
He tightly embraced her delicate body, his arms exerting force as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.
The corners of Natsuo's mouth lifted, clearly happy, but she said, "I'm only doing this for the child, don't think too much."
However, she didn't see Natsuo's smile becoming meaningful.
For the child? Could it be that the Konoha Hospital is so much worse than the Uchiha family's child-rearing? How is that possible!
If she really wanted to leave, she would have to take care of so many problems. But now that she will stay in the Uchia clan because it has a complete childcare system, she no longer has to worry about anything.
When the boy grows up, will he have to stay longer because of the boy's future ninja education?
When the child gets a little older, will you have to stay longer for the child to have a complete family?
"Now that you've entered the Uchiha clan, do you still want to run away?"
Natsuo smiled and remained silent.
...
Uchiha clan reception room.
"So, they really made a move?" Natsuo raised an eyebrow. "Just a few ordinary people, daring to provoke shinobi?"
Natsuo's new business in the home appliance industry had just begun to develop and the Uchiha clan's assets were under attack again.
And what they targeted was not something else, but the most profitable metal mines and weapons industry in the current atmosphere of war!
The official authorities of the Fire Country directly seized the Uchiha clan's mines under the pretext of 'strategic reserves'.
"Yes, meow, but facing the power of the authorities, it's difficult for us to take action, meow." Meow-san, an old acquaintance of Uchiha Natsuo, licked his paw and said: "It is said that who is behind this movement is not the nobles or merchants of the country of fire, but it is the Daimyō himself who directs it, meow..."
"The Daimyō, huh." Natsuo squinted his eyes.
"It seems that it's not just me who's short of money, even the Daimyō has started to need some money-making methods..."
With the war approaching, the Fire Country naturally had to fully support Konoha, and a series of expenses were beginning to put a strain on the Fire Country's finances.
Even the leader of the Fire Country, the Daimyō, was becoming poor.
And what do you do when the leader of the Fire Country becomes poor? Of course, you find a way to make some money.
"It seems they have forgotten the deterrent power of Itachi... but it's not surprising, after all, some time has passed." Natsuo nodded, showing understanding.
Although the Uchiha clan relied on Itachi's crazy killings to deter a group of people, any deterrent has a time limit.
Now everyone is poor, under the stimulation of poverty, they naturally forget the fear they had at that time.
Moreover, with the emergence of Akatsuki, many people felt that it was not the Uchiha who were terrifying, but Akatsuki was strong.
The Uchiha clan was left with only one adult member. How could they deserve to occupy such a good industry?
The desire in their hearts slowly turned into action, ultimately resulting in suppression from the authorities.
"Natsuo, what should we do, meow?" Meow-san raised his head curiously. "It seems we can't rely on Akatsuki's power this time. I heard they are very busy now."
"Yes, there is that." Natsuo nodded. "Even Kakuzu has considered taking leave because there are too many missions now, many of which have good rewards."
The most profitable ones in war are naturally the military groups.
Not only Akatsuki, even the Konoha shinobi have become busy. One expensive mission after another keeps coming up. Even if Natsuo wants to hire Akatsuki to solve the problem, they wouldn't be able to spare any manpower.
"In that case, there's no other way." Natsuo sighed helplessly.
Meow-san nodded. "Yes, the Daimyō has made a move, and shinobi cannot attack the Daimyō. It seems we can only take a step back."
Natsuo: "It seems we can only get rid of that idiot Daimyō."
Meow-san: "Ah!"
