Chapter 40: Ch-40:System upgrade, lv-2
The afternoon slipped by unnoticed.
After wrapping up their time together, Inuzuka Akimi reminded Kingsu that she had an urgent experimental project to attend to. She had missed work during the day and needed to make up for it with overtime that night. So, Kingsu returned to the Uchiha clan alone, where he promptly assigned the Konoha Police Department's duties to his wives, who were looking for something to do.
With that out of the way, he turned his attention back to his true mission: revitalizing the Uchiha clan.
Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, and Kingsu found himself increasingly busy. Between managing his new family and his expanding responsibilities, he was utterly exhausted. His life had been a whirlwind of taking care of his recently married wives and attending to those who were now reaching their peak years for childbearing.
In just two weeks, the number of Kingsu's children surged from over 100 to a staggering 499!
Thanks to his powerful ninjutsu, The Art of Winning the Lottery, Kingsu's strength and chakra reserves multiplied dozens, if not hundreds of times. Even though most of the children born were of grade A potential or below, the sheer number of them made a significant impact on his abilities.
Finances, fortunately, were not a concern for Kingsu. After the Uchiha clan's near extinction, he had inherited nearly all of the remaining assets. Even Sasuke, one of the last surviving Uchiha, had unconditionally transferred his share of the clan's wealth to Kingsu, fully supporting his plan to rebuild their bloodline.
Moreover, several of Kingsu's wives had been independently wealthy before they married into the Uchiha clan. They had brought with them impressive dowries, along with their businesses, which significantly boosted the clan's economy. Thanks to these entrepreneurial ventures, even non-Uchiha villagers often visited the clan's businesses, providing a steady flow of income. As a result, Kingsu had more than enough resources to support his growing family.
Kingsu wasn't planning to stop anytime soon, either. His goal was nothing short of filling the entire ninja world with his children. Anything less would be unworthy of the system he had been blessed with—a system that emphasized prosperity through large families. As a time traveler, Kingsu felt it was his responsibility to fully utilize the advantages he had been given.
However, recently, he had noticed something concerning. His body wasn't quite as resilient as it once was. The once boundless energy he had was beginning to fade. He could feel it—his stamina wasn't what it used to be.
In the past, Kingsu could go for days and nights without feeling the least bit fatigued. He was strong and youthful, after all. But now, after just one night, he was beginning to feel tired. He had to take time to rest and recover—a frustrating delay when he could be spending that time with his wives and producing more children.
It wasn't that his body was failing, per se, but rather that he was wasting precious time. Time spent sleeping and recovering could have been better spent strengthening the clan further. The Art of Winning the Lottery was indeed powerful, but it only worked as long as Kingsu could keep up with the demands it placed on him.
Kingsu had even considered secretly visiting a pharmacy or herbal shop to buy some supplements to help with his energy levels. But with so many wives and acquaintances spread throughout the village, it was nearly impossible to go anywhere unnoticed. No matter which street he walked down, Kingsu was bound to bump into at least one or two of his wives or lovers. Each time, they'd inevitably end up spending time together, which only added to his exhaustion.
To make matters worse, Kingsu had gained something of a reputation in the village for his seemingly boundless energy. If anyone saw him buying tonics or supplements to restore his stamina, it would be a blow to his pride. The embarrassment alone was enough to deter him from taking such a step.
But no matter how much he tried to ignore it, the fact remained: his body was feeling the strain. Pretending otherwise wasn't going to help.
Kingsu resolved that, no matter the potential embarrassment, he would go out and buy the necessary tonics that evening. Maintaining his physical health was more important than saving face, and in the long run, it would allow him to keep up with the demands of his growing clan.
Just as he was about to make his decision, something unexpected happened.
Ding! Uchiha clan member +1. The new clan member's potential score is B. Reward: Host's chakra doubled!
Ding! Congratulations to the host! You now have 500 descendants. The system experience bar is full. Preparing for an upgrade...
"Wait, what?"
Ding! The system has successfully upgraded to level 2. A level 2 gift package has been awarded.
Kingsu's eyes lit up. The level 1 gift package had given him the Winning the Lottery technique. He couldn't wait to see what was in store for him now.
"System! Open the gift package immediately!"
Kingsu barely contained his excitement as the system responded.
The level 2 gift package has been successfully opened. Please choose one of the following four ninjutsu. Once selected, you will immediately master it:
Ninjutsu: Perseverance – After using this technique, you will gain an incredibly strong body.
Ninjutsu: Endurance – Your physical endurance will be greatly enhanced.
Ninjutsu: Lottery (LV2) – Defy the odds and guarantee success! There is a 50% chance of having twins or boy-girl twins. Infertility will no longer be an obstacle.
Ninjutsu: Heart-to-heart – The most powerful charm technique, effective on all members of the opposite sex. Devotion and loyalty guaranteed until death!
All four techniques require chakra but do not drain vitality. They will not affect your organs...
"Hold on!" Kingsu interrupted. "If none of these techniques affect my organs, then why do I feel so exhausted lately?"
That's because you previously chose the Lottery technique, which directs chakra toward your reproductive organs. It doesn't support the rest of your body, which is why your other organs aren't being sustained by chakra.
Each ninjutsu protects the specific organs it influences. Your reproductive system is fine, but your overall stamina and strength have been neglected.
Kingsu was silent for a moment, thinking this over.
Your weakness stems from overexertion, not from any harm to your organs. The Lottery technique ensures your reproductive organs won't wear out, but the rest of your body requires a different type of ninjutsu for support.
If you want to restore your strength and vitality, I suggest selecting the Perseverance technique this time. It will give you an extremely strong body, which can endure much more than what you're currently capable of.
This technique will apply chakra to all the vital areas needed for endurance, keeping everything in top condition.
Kingsu thought for a moment longer before making his decision.
"I choose Perseverance."
It was exactly what he needed. He could worry about the other techniques later, but for now, having an extremely strong body was the most important thing.
The other options were tempting, especially the upgraded Lottery technique, which offered a 50% chance of producing twins. That would undoubtedly accelerate the growth of the clan. But Kingsu was confident he could choose that one next time.
"System, why didn't you tell me earlier that the upgrade was coming? I almost went out and bought a ton of supplements just now!"
Hehe, how can you blame me? You never asked about the system's upgrade capabilities.
Kingsu sighed in exasperation. "Fine. I'll ask directly this time. How many points do I need to reach the next upgrade?"
The experience bar for LV3 requires 1000 points. From now on, each new descendant will add one point.
"Got it."
