Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

Sarutobi Asuma, facing his father's reprimand, felt very dissatisfied in his heart and argued,

"Clearly, it was that Uchiha who provoked me. He interrupted my confession to Kurenai."

The Third Hokage sighed,

"Why are you so impulsive? If Kurenai doesn't accept now, are you going to use force? Doing this will only push that woman further away from you."

"Now, go to the Land of Fire's Daimyo's mansion and report there. Reflect on yourself and calm down."

Sarutobi Asuma had nothing to say. After all, not only had his confession failed, but he had also embarrassed himself in front of Kurenai.

He thought he should apologize to her later after she'd cooled off. "Fine, I'll leave now."

After Asuma left, the Anbu around also left.

The Third Hokage's expression finally relaxed. That reckless kid at least accepted his suggestion.

Now, if he could spend some time with the Daimyo, it would lay a foundation for him to inherit the Hokage position in the future. The Daimyo wouldn't refuse to recognize him then. He hoped this kid could grow into a worthy successor.

Then, thinking of that Uchiha clansman, his brows furrowed slightly.

Though his son was in the wrong, if that Uchiha hadn't provoked Asuma, he wouldn't have been so impulsive and embarrassed himself in front of the villagers.

That clan truly is troublesome.

Due to the peace talks with Iwagakure, his position in the village had already been weakened.

The villagers couldn't understand his far-sightedness. Even granting some concessions to end the war was a worthwhile trade. That would make him a hero of the village.

But these foolish villagers didn't understand and forced him to step down. Only after Minato's death did he have a chance to regain the Hokage position. Sitting in this seat brought comfort.

Now, at the border, Konoha and Kumogakure were constantly clashing.

Though Konoha had the strength to fight and even defeat Kumogakure,

He preferred to preserve the village's power, as Konoha had more than just Kumogakure as enemies; all the surrounding ninja villages posed threats.

He needed to enhance dialogue with Kumogakure and strive to end the conflict peacefully. If successful, he could end the Third Shinobi War, outshining the First and Second Hokage. Then, he would be the most respected Hokage in history.

Only then could he truly be called the strongest Hokage.

Meanwhile, Ryosuke wandered curiously around Konoha. He didn't return home until nightfall.

At that moment, an elderly man with white hair was waiting there, looking very angry. "You brat, where did you run off to? I thought someone kidnapped you!"

Ryosuke was his only family. When he fainted during a Police Force mission and was sent home to rest, only to vanish suddenly, it had deeply worried him.

Ryosuke looked at the elderly man before him, whose appearance was identical to his deceased grandfather from his previous life, except for wearing a kimono. His gaze grew complicated.

He hadn't expected to see his late grandfather in another world.

He explained, "I felt much better, so I went out for a walk."

Hearing this, the old man's anger shifted to relief. "You're okay? That's all that matters."

Then his expression turned melancholic. "It's just a pity you didn't inherit your parents' talents. Your body is so fragile."

"Your father died at the hands of Iwagakure, and your mother by Kumogakure. Expecting you to avenge them is impossible. Now, Grandpa just wants you to live well."

"If it doesn't work out, don't even bother with the Police Force job anymore."

Hearing this, memories flooded Ryosuke's mind. During the Second Shinobi War, Konoha and Iwagakure clashed. His father went to the battlefield but was killed.

Similarly, during the same war, Konoha and Kumogakure fought, and his mother also perished.

Only he and his grandfather were left in the family.

Neither his original self nor the old elder appeared in the original story, suggesting they weren't strong and likely ended up as cannon fodder.

This elderly Uchiha elder was already white-haired—how much fighting strength could he have left?

In the original plot, his original self sacrificed not only his parents for Konoha's peace but likely himself and his grandfather too, in the Uchiha Massacre.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Ryosuke felt a surge of anger but restrained it. Venting in front of this elderly man wouldn't accomplish anything.

Releasing that anger on Konoha's higher-ups and those traitors would be true revenge.

Noticing Ryosuke's serious expression, the elder comforted him, "Your parents died for the family, for Konoha. There's no need to be sad."

"Without them, there wouldn't be the Uchiha or Konoha's peace."

"We should just live well."

The elder worried his grandson might dwell on these thoughts, leading to problems like the sudden fainting earlier.

Ryosuke, forcing his expression to relax, smiled lightly. "Of course, we'll live well."

But in his heart, he thought differently 'Living well is the only way to seek revenge on those who harmed the family.'

It was Konoha's higher-ups who betrayed the Uchiha, not the Uchiha who betrayed Konoha.

He was determined to ensure the Uchiha survived the massacre and thrived. For security, he needed to fully utilize both systems—the auto-training system and the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system.

Having children? Easy enough.

Although the first reward was a precious treasure chest, he wasn't about to choose any random woman hastily.

After all, physical intimacy implied forming a bond, which wasn't so easily severed. If he had a choice, he would definitely pick a suitable partner.

With his Uchiha status and handsome looks, how could he not find the right woman. Thinking this, Ryosuke looked at the elder before him. "Grandpa, even if I lack talent, I have an idea. Since my abilities are limited, I'll have children and nurture the next generation."

"Maybe they won't be as useless as me."

With the Many Children, Many Blessings system, having just one child would grant him a precious treasure chest reward.

The item from it could likely help him navigate the massacre and revive the Uchiha clan. Having children might also relieve the elder's loneliness.

The elder, Uchiha Shin, was momentarily stunned by Ryosuke's words.

Although 16 was indeed a suitable age for marriage, and in the past, the family allowed marriage as young as 12,

The clan's population growth had since made such policies unnecessary. Did this grandson hit his head and go a bit off after fainting?

Though strange, his words seemed reasonable. A large house with just two people indeed felt lonely.

The elder smiled faintly and said, "It's not a bad idea, but it's your choice to make."

He somewhat agreed but knew such matters had to be decided by Ryosuke himself. Otherwise, meddling might even make things worse.

Seeing his grandfather's attitude, Ryosuke smiled and said,
