After returning to the village, Uchiha Yuzuru and the others submitted their mission report. The staff member simply asked a few routine questions before handing over the mission remuneration directly to Uchiha Yuzuru.
The moment they saw the payment, Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Shisui all revealed excited smiles.
A whole five hundred thousand ryo!
Uchiha Obito asked somewhat nervously, "Big Brother Yuzuru, how do you plan to split the reward this time?"
"I'll take two hundred thousand. You guys split the rest equally."
Uchiha Obito and the others nodded vigorously. "No problem."
After Uchiha Yuzuru took his two hundred thousand, they each received one hundred thousand ryo! Although none of the three were short of money, this was reward money they had earned through their own mission; the feeling was completely different.
Most importantly, their shinobi records now officially listed the completion of an A-rank mission. One had to realize that even some Jonin had never completed an A-rank mission!
Seeing their happy expressions, Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand grandly. "Let's go. I'm treating everyone to barbecue."
Although they had left Konoha, this could still be considered a tradition. Traditions couldn't be discarded.
"Yay!"
The four of them had been traveling through dust and wind for several months and hadn't eaten delicious, marinated barbecue in a restaurant for a long time. They ate until the shop closed, walking out with unsatisfied appetites lingering in their minds.
Right now, Uchiha Shisui had a fragile heart; there was no telling when he might awaken his eyes. However, awakening the Sharingan too early placed a huge burden on the body. If things went wrong, he might end up with a bloodline disease like Uchiha Itachi. It was better for him to settle down and study in the Ninja Academy for a few years.
Uchiha Shisui nodded obediently. "Clan Head Yuzuru, I'll listen to you."
Seeing this, Uchiha Obito complained, "Big Brother Yuzuru, then Kakashi and I will be down a teammate."
"Huh? Tekka?"
Thinking of Uchiha Tekka's arrogant face, Uchiha Obito felt a bit depressed. "I got it."
After making simple arrangements, Uchiha Yuzuru returned to his courtyard alone.
Inside the room, the lights were still on.
Uchiha Yuzuru pushed the door open and entered, finding Uzumaki Kushina knitting gloves with wool.
"Kushina, it's still early for winter. Why have you started knitting gloves?"
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's voice, Uzumaki Kushina stood up excitedly and threw herself into his arms.
"Yuzuru, you're finally back. I missed you so much."
Uchiha Yuzuru rubbed his chin against the top of Uzumaki Kushina's head a few times and smiled. "Then don't go back to your room tonight. Sleep with me."
Uzumaki Kushina slapped Uchiha Yuzuru's shoulder and scolded playfully, "No way. You big pervert, you'll definitely bully me."
"Hehe..."
Uzumaki Kushina broke free from Uchiha Yuzuru's embrace and smiled. "Yuzuru, my birthday passed half a month ago."
Uchiha Yuzuru paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Kushina, I will definitely make up for your birthday gift."
Hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina rolled her eyes and spoke softly. "That's not what I mean."
"You dummy!"
Uzumaki Kushina huffed lightly. "I'm already eighteen."
After saying that, she opened the door and ran away.
Uchiha Yuzuru felt his heartbeat accelerate.
Marriage!
He absolutely had to get married!
[Ding! Detected that the host's family possesses a clansman with a special bloodline: Night Moon Bloodline!]
[Current Night Moon Bloodline Evolution Progress: 100%!]
Early the next morning, a crisp and pleasant voice rang out in Uchiha Yuzuru's mind.
Uchiha Yuzuru suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curving up uncontrollably.
After so long, the Night Moon bloodline had finally completed its evolution.
The instant the system notification faded, Uchiha Yuzuru's body seemed to undergo a qualitative change. He could feel the intensity of his body shifting continuously. The chakra within him ushered in a period of rapid growth.
This change came quickly and left just as fast. In just a short moment, Uchiha Yuzuru's body stabilized once again.
However, compared to before, his physique had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
Uchiha Yuzuru stood up. His lean body was hard as iron, his muscle lines clearly visible, radiating masculine charm with every gesture. The chakra inside him had also received a massive boost.
Uchiha Yuzuru made a rough estimate—his current chakra reserves amounted to at least fifty Kakashis!
The Third Raikage could fight the shinobi of Iwagakure for three days and three nights; Uchiha Yuzuru felt he could fight for five days and five nights without exhaustion.
After a brief assessment, Uchiha Yuzuru's mind moved, and he began to cultivate the Lightning Release Chakra Mode according to the memories in his head. The originally violent lightning power no longer caused necrosis in his cells; instead, it brought him a wave of pleasure.
Under the stimulation of the Lightning Release chakra, Uchiha Yuzuru could feel the cells in his body undergoing a ceaseless metamorphosis.
"At this speed, completely mastering the Lightning Release Chakra Mode will be as easy as turning over my hand."
"This is the power of the system. It's too domineering!"
Uchiha Yuzuru took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. The road ahead was still long; this bit of gain was nothing in the grand scheme.
Just then, Karura's voice sounded from outside the door. "Lord Yuzuru, are you home?"
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's voice, Karura pushed the door open and walked in. But a second later, her cheeks were covered in a crimson blush.
"L-Lord Yuzuru, y-your clothes..."
Karura's voice was like the buzzing of a mosquito, weak and feeble. If Uchiha Yuzuru's sensory abilities weren't so strong, he really wouldn't have known what she said.
"I was training just now and forgot to put them on."
Uchiha Yuzuru explained briefly, then pulled on his shirt.
Karura kept her head lowered, not daring to look at Uchiha Yuzuru again. That handsome face combined with the rugged lines of his upper body made her feel as if the air she exhaled was scorching hot.
That body, that face...
It was foul play, wasn't it?
Suddenly, Karura felt a sour sensation in her nose. Startled, she immediately covered her nose with her hand and shook her head desperately.
No, no, make those thoughts in my head disappear!
Uchiha Yuzuru didn't know what Karura was thinking. Seeing her looking like steam was about to blow out of her ears, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Karura, do you have a fever?"
"Eh? I-I'm not in heat..."
Karura felt her legs go soft; her body could barely stand.
"G-Goodbye!"
Karura placed the clothes on the table and fled the room as if running for her life.
Looking at the few drops of noseblood on the floor, Uchiha Yuzuru looked bewildered.
No, were we even on the same channel during that conversation just now?
As the sun rose, the entire village of Kumogakure bustled with activity.
Today was the day of Uchiha Yuzuru's wedding, and the villagers of Kumogakure spontaneously took to the streets to offer their congratulations. Firecrackers popped in unison, and drums and gongs reached the heavens.
It was as if they were celebrating a major festival; everyone was cheering in the streets.
Inside the Uchiha clan compound.
The Third Raikage, Uchiha Taro, Uchiha Fugaku, Hatake Sakumo, A...
Almost every high-ranking official of Kumogakure who had a name came specifically to celebrate Uchiha Yuzuru's joyous occasion.
The crowd surrounded Uchiha Kaen like stars clustering around the moon, unsparingly showering him with goodwill. Uchiha Kaen grinned so wide the corners of his mouth nearly reached his ears.
The thing the Uchiha clan valued most was face.
For this wedding, the entire village was celebrating. The Third Raikage, A, Hatake Sakumo, Dodai, and all the high-level officials of Kumogakure had come to toast him. Who else had ever received such treatment?
Even when Uchiha Fugaku got married not long ago, there hadn't been a spectacle like this at all.
For a moment, the stifling emotion of having two daughters arched by the same pig was greatly alleviated.
Hatake Kakashi looked at Uchiha Yuzuru, who was helping Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina adjust their outfits nearby, his eyes full of admiration.
Senior Yuzuru was simply like a male protagonist from a novel brought into reality; it was truly enviable.
Thinking this, Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but say to Uchiha Obito, "Obito, Senior Yuzuru is really too strong. It makes one can't help but be envious."
Uchiha Obito ate his cake, unconcerned. "What's there to be envious of? I'm a member of the Pure Love Party."
"..."
While everyone chatted and laughed, the protagonists of today's wedding walked out.
Uchiha Mikoto, with her head of black hair, looked as gentle as water.
Uzumaki Kushina, with her red hair, was full of life and spirit.
In an instant, the scene fell into a strange silence.
"This level of attractiveness is too high. Lord Yuzuru, Lady Mikoto, Lady Kushina... This is a true match of talent and beauty."
"Lord Yuzuru is lucky in the future, marrying two such beautiful wives at once."
"The drought kills the dry, and the flood drowns the wet. Pity me, single since birth for over twenty years—when will I find a wife?"
"I'm so envious! I'm going to go home today and discuss with my wife if I can marry another one."
