"Now let's see if I can fool this little 'Second Pillar'…"
Uchiha Kuro maintained a perfectly reasonable expression on the surface, but inwardly, he let out a quiet sigh.
He was a transmigrator!
The moment he realized he had transmigrated into the most dangerous clan—the Uchiha—he was completely stunned.
Wasn't this just asking to become background fodder in Itachi's clan massacre?
So at first, he trained hard, planning to follow the usual transmigrator route and take down Itachi himself—
And failed.
At eighteen years old, Uchiha Kuro was still only a Chūnin.
Not exactly trash, but his talent was probably just at the level of an average, nameless Uchiha.
After that, Uchiha Kuro tried to "correct" Itachi and Shisui, who had been thoroughly brainwashed by the Third Hokage—
And failed again.
The Third Hokage's influence ran too deep. Although Itachi and Shisui could barely be considered "upright" Uchiha, they were even more extreme than most of the clan.
They treated Uchiha Kuro as a "radical Uchiha supremacist," and their relationship was distant.
Left with no choice, Uchiha Kuro then considered relying on the clan—gathering the Uchiha's strength and possibly reaching out to other major clans in Konoha—
And still failed.
The Uchiha revered strength. A mere Chūnin had no voice at all.
"Fine. If I can't fight them, I'll just avoid them."
With that mindset, Uchiha Kuro simply took a mission outside the village and staged his own death.
After all, when he transmigrated, he was already an orphan. He had no close friends or family, and he didn't have much emotional attachment to the Uchiha either.
But an unexpected twist forced him to return to Konoha.
[System: Blessings Through Many Descendants]
At eighteen, just having reached adulthood, Uchiha Kuro finally received the standard transmigrator cheat!
However, this cheat required a large number of descendants to function…
"In history, there are three figures known for having the most offspring," Uchiha Kuro thought to himself.
"The founding king of Saudi Arabia, Ibn Saud—around 160 children."
"Liu Sheng, the Prince of Zhongshan during the Han Dynasty—over 120 sons, not counting daughters."
"The second Sultan (King) of Morocco, Moulay Ismail—525 sons and 342 daughters…"
What did they all have in common?
Wealth! Status! Women!
Thus, with his decent grasp of history, Uchiha Kuro came to a realization—
If he wanted to make full use of the system, he first needed money!
But as an ordinary Chūnin, even if he abandoned his morals and forcibly took women, he still couldn't meet the standards of those historical figures.
The only thing he could rely on…
Was the massive inheritance left behind by the Uchiha clan.
That was why he had timed his return to Konoha so precisely—and why he was now trying to "persuade" Sasuke.
Sasuke frowned deeply, lost in thought.
As a seven-year-old child, Uchiha Kuro's words gave him an extremely strange feeling.
Reviving the Uchiha—not through overwhelming strength, but through having children?
This completely contradicted his understanding!
But looking at the deserted, lifeless clan compound around him, Sasuke had to admit—Uchiha Kuro's words did make some sense.
"Brother Uchiha Kuro, what you said… makes sense." Sasuke frowned. "To revive the Uchiha, clan members are essential."
"Reputation and fame can come later."
"It's just…"
He looked at his own youthful face.
For a seven-year-old, wasn't this a bit too much?
"You don't need to worry about this right now." Uchiha Kuro smiled. "Your talent is far greater than mine. If anyone has a chance to avenge the Uchiha in the future, it will definitely be you!"
"Killing that man is my responsibility!" Sasuke immediately relaxed and said firmly. "Brother Uchiha Kuro, you can focus on having children. Leave revenge to me!"
"Not just revenge." Uchiha Kuro glanced at him. "While you train, you should also look for a suitable wife. That's your responsibility as an Uchiha."
Sasuke's expression turned awkward.
He already found those chattering girls at the academy annoying enough.
Like a flock of ducks—so noisy! He couldn't understand why Naruto and the others were always chasing after girls…
But Uchiha Kuro wasn't done yet.
"Once you have a wife, you'll need to dote on her, pamper her, so she'll bear your children. After the child is born, you'll have to change diapers, prepare baby food, teach them how to speak, buy toys, and spend time with your wife taking care of the child…"
As Sasuke listened, his expression grew uglier and uglier.
Just imagining it made his whole body uncomfortable!
He could only look at Uchiha Kuro helplessly.
"Brother Uchiha Kuro… can't we divide the work…? I'll handle revenge, and you handle reviving the clan…"
"That could work," Uchiha Kuro said, shaking his head. "But Sasuke, raising children requires a lot of money. I'm just a poor Chūnin. Relying on me alone, who knows when the Uchiha will be revived?"
"That's easy!" Sasuke immediately perked up. "The Third Hokage already talked to me. Even though the Uchiha clan members have died, their assets remain. According to the rules, everything will be left to us. We won't lack money!"
"But Sasuke, those all belong to you, the heir of the clan head. How can I take them?"
"No! Brother Uchiha Kuro, Itachi committed such a grave crime—how could I still be qualified to inherit the position of clan head? And besides, the Uchiha clan has always valued strength over bloodline. I think you're the most suitable person to become the clan head!"
"But…" Uchiha Kuro frowned slightly.
Sasuke, however, said without hesitation, "It's settled!"
This kind of exhausting, troublesome work—better leave it to Uchiha Kuro!
He had no desire to spend his days surrounded by women!
"This…" Uchiha Kuro looked conflicted, but under Sasuke's insistence, he finally sighed. "Alright then!"
"You'll be responsible for avenging the Uchiha, and I'll be responsible for strengthening the clan…"
"Brothers united, nothing can stand against us!"
"Let's do this!"
Smack!
One big hand and one small hand clasped tightly together, their gazes filled with determination.
