Rebuilding Uchiha By Removing Fugaku

________________________________________

[This system is dedicated to family and personal development for growth. Please explore the detailed functions on your own.]

Toki was stunned, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

"A system? Really?"

Originally, he had only intended to secure his own survival, never imagining that the long-awaited 'cheat' system would finally activate—after so many years, it required him to become the clan's patriarch to trigger it.

Who could have guessed? When he first transmigrated, he had desperately wished for a system to change his fate, but over time, he had given up. And now, here it was.

Toki thought to himself:

"Open System Panel."

[Host: Uchiha Toki].

[Strength: Jōnin].

[Position: Clan Leader].

[Family Members: 1057].

[Clan Prestige: 312 points].

[Strength Distribution: Kage-level (1 person), Elite Jōnin (1 person), Jōnin (4 people), Special Jōnin (27 people), Chūnin (157 people), Genin (371 people)].

[Clan Properties: Uchiha Ancestral Shrine (enhances clan cohesion)].

[Inheritance: Uchiha's exclusive Fire-Style ninjutsu, select Ninjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Sharingan techniques].

Toki examined the property panel provided by the system, frowning.

Although he knew the Uchiha clan had been suppressed, he hadn't realized they had declined to such a degree.

During the Third Great Ninja War, Konoha boasted about Uchiha Shisui's talent with his Body Flicker Technique, but the truth was, the overall strength of the Uchiha clan had been declining steadily.

No wonder Uchiha Fugaku was willing to exchange the lives of the entire Uchiha clan for the lives of his two sons.

With the Uchiha's current fighting power, even if Fugaku had fought alongside Uchiha Itachi, there was only one possible outcome: the destruction of the clan.

Rather than fighting and losing both, resulting in the clan's destruction, Fugaku chose to secure his sons' survival by negotiating the Uchiha clan's demise.

Toki looked at Uchiha Fugaku coldly.

So this was why Fugaku, who had been preparing for a coup on the night of the massacre, backed down and surrendered.

At this point, the Uchiha clan was in such a dire position that they were akin to the Kaguya clan from the Hidden Mist.

...

Toki clicked on the list of Kage-level members of the clan.

As expected, the only Kage-level individual in the Uchiha clan was Fugaku, who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

And that elite Jōnin? It was Uchiha Shisui, who became famous during the Third Great Ninja War.

Among the four Jōnin, aside from Toki, were Uchiha Yatsushiro, Uchiha Setsuna, and Uchiha Inabi—those who were later killed by Uchiha Itachi.

As for the Special Jōnin, they had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan but did not possess the overall strength of a full Jōnin. It was only due to their Sharingan that they had reached the level of Special Jōnin.

[The host has activated the system for the first time, receiving an additional cultivation settlement for one year.]

[Congratulations! The host has gained Fire-Style Ninjutsu Experience +1+1+1...]

[Congratulations! The host has gained Shurikenjutsu Experience +1+1+1...]

[Congratulations! The host has gained Taijutsu Experience +1+1+1...]

[High-level Sharingan detected in clan…]

Sharingan evolution… Evolution time: 1 year...

Starter pack acceleration...

Congratulations! You have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan x2.]

As the system's notification rang out, a torrent of cultivation experience flowed into Toki's mind.

At the same time, both his Chakra reserves and pupil power surged dramatically.

The once scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly, soon transforming into the Mangekyō Sharingan, identical to Uchiha Fugaku's.

[Ding~ After collecting rewards, monthly family rewards will be settled based on family prosperity.]

[Please improve clan buildings to unlock additional system functions.]

Toki was overwhelmed, immersed in the joy of his newfound strength.

A family cultivation system where the growth of clan members would feed back to the patriarch?

He had originally been concerned that Fugaku might pose a threat with his strength, but now, the final piece of the puzzle had fallen into place.

At that moment, Uchiha Fugaku, still bristling, glared at Toki, who was now the hope of the clan.

"It's too simple to think you can lead. Fine, if you want to be the patriarch, take it!"

With those words, he stormed out of the ancestral hall in anger.

The Uchiha clan members below began to stir.

Though they were unhappy with Konoha's discrimination against their clan, they still held respect for Fugaku, the patriarch and captain of the Konoha Police Force.

After all, Fugaku was indeed the strongest in the clan.

But then, Toki clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back to him:

"Since Patriarch Fugaku is willing to step aside, I humbly accept his decision."

As Toki stood on the stage, an invisible force seemed to ripple through the ancestral hall, calming the restless clan members.

The Uchiha Ancestral Shrine, now incorporated into the system, possessed extraordinary power. Though it couldn't influence minds like the Kotoamatsukami, it had the ability to soothe emotions and bring clarity.

With the clan's support already leaning toward him, Toki easily stabilized their emotions and led them to accept the change in leadership.

"Clan elder, what should we do next?" a voice called out.

A confident smile spread across Toki's face as he slowly responded:

"Simple. I have a nine-word policy."

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and bide your time."
