Chapter 170 : Handsome men and beautiful women
Following the System's prompt, Uchiha Yuzuru's mind received some information about the Scorching Release Kekkei Genkai.
He raised his hand and, with a thought, a high-temperature fireball condensed in his palm.
The intense heat distorted the surrounding air, and the tea in the teacup nearby instantly evaporated.
Uchiha Yuzuru's lips curved slightly.
Good power.
If someone were standing next to him right now, they would probably instantly turn into a dehydrated corpse, right?
Compared to a normal Fire Release, the Scorching Release Kekkei Genkai's destructive power was greatly enhanced and difficult to defend against.
For example, in most situations, Ninja would use Earth-Style Wall or Water-Style Wall to block Fire Release attacks.
But facing Scorching Release, such defenses wouldn't work.
Even if these two Ninjutsu could block the Scorching Release flames, they couldn't isolate the ultra-high temperature generated by the Scorching Release.
Pakura once relied on this move to be almost invincible on the battlefield.
Her speed in killing people was even comparable to Rasa, who possessed a large-scale Bloodline Limit.
After a brief test, Uchiha Yuzuru dispelled the Scorching Release fireball in his hand.
His gaze once again fell upon the System panel in front of him.
He had just raised the Scorching Release Bloodline evolution to 100%, thus earning a chance to draw a Family trait.
"I wonder what kind of trait I'll draw this time. It's like the thrill of opening a blind box."
Uchiha Yuzuru thought, "System, draw a Family trait."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Family trait — Handsome Men and Beautiful Women!"
"Handsome Men and Beautiful Women: The appearance of newborns in the Family is enhanced, and the Family members' attractiveness to the opposite sex is increased!"
Hearing the System's prompt, Uchiha Yuzuru's eyes lit up.
This trait is good!
Although compared to the previous traits, [Handsome Men and Beautiful Women] did not bring a substantial improvement to the strength of the Family's Ninja, it had a significant effect on the Family's reproduction and prosperity.
The Uchiha Clan was already known for its highAppearance, producing many handsome men and beautiful women.
Now with the blessing of the [Handsome Men and Beautiful Women] trait, the charm of Uchiha Clan members will receive an epic boost.
It could be said that future Uchiha Clan members would become walking human hormones.
Not only would the population growth rate increase, but the probability of him acquiring Bloodlines from other Ninja Clans through the Family would also greatly increase.
After all, if he wanted to acquire any Bloodline in the future, he couldn't do everything himself, could he?
How many wives would he have to marry then?
But if the Clan members weren't capable enough, then he would have to do it himself.
Uchiha Yuzuru looked down and sighed softly.
No choice, with great power comes great responsibility.
After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Uchiha Yuzuru walked out of the room.
At this moment, the sun had just risen, and the first ray of sunlight was shining into the courtyard.
"Yuzuru, I was just about to come look for you."
Uzumaki Kushina walked in from the front yard, her expression looking a bit conflicted.
Uchiha Yuzuru frowned and asked, "Kushina, has something happened?"
"Tsunade-neechan came to borrow money again..."
Uzumaki Kushina lowered her head a little shyly, as if she were a little girl who had done something wrong.
Her grandmother and Mito Uzumaki were sisters, so she and Tsunade were also relatives.
Now Tsunade frequently came to their house to borrow money, which made her feel a little apologetic to her husband.
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and reached out to hug Uzumaki Kushina into his arms: "Kushina, we have so much money in our house, if Tsunade wants to borrow, just lend it to her."
"But even if we have a lot of money, we shouldn't waste it like this," Uzumaki Kushina said with a hint of melancholy in her tone. "Tsunade-neechan is treating our house like an ATM."
In the past year, Tsunade had come to borrow money more and more often, each time borrowing at least a million Ryo, yet she had never repaid any of it... Actually, it wasn't her business, but as Tsunade's relative, Uzumaki Kushina always felt she was losing face and also felt some guilt.
"Tsunade is your older sister, which makes her my older sister too. Do you remember what I told you when we were in Konoha?"
Uzumaki Kushina nodded: "You said you wanted to become very strong, so that everyone you cared about could live freely and as they pleased."
"No longer troubled by money, no longer coerced by force."
"Even if it means standing against the whole world!"
"So you see..." Uchiha Yuzuru rested his chin on Uzumaki Kushina's head, "It's just a little money, you don't need to feel guilty about it at all."
"To keep my word, that is my Ninja Way."
Besides, he already had his own plans for Tsunade.
It wouldn't conform to his wishes if she didn't borrow money.
Hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina lifted her face, filled with a bright smile: "Yuzuru, let's go back inside."
"Why?"
Uzumaki Kushina didn't answer, she just stood on her tiptoes and kissed Uchiha Yuzuru.

A few days later.
Uchiha Yuzuru was strolling along the streets of Hidden Cloud Village when he saw Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito walking towards him.
Hatake Kakashi held a three-color dango in one hand and a drink in the other, following closely beside Uchiha Obito.
Seeing the fawning look in Hatake Kakashi's eyes, Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but feel a little strange, then he blocked their path.
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru, Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito immediately bowed in greeting.
Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand and asked curiously, "Obito, Kakashi, what's going on with you two?"
Hatake Kakashi scratched his head and chuckled, "I have something I want to ask Obito about."
"You're asking him?"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's surprised gaze, Uchiha Obito said somewhat unhappily, "Big Brother Yuzuru, is there a problem?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious what Kakashi wants to ask you."
Hearing this, Uchiha Obito snorted proudly and said, "Big Brother Yuzuru, I feel like I've become more handsome lately."
"No matter where I go, I attract some fangirls, and I often receive love letters."
"Kakashi is so envious, so he wants me to tell him the secret."
After hearing Uchiha Obito's words, Uchiha Yuzuru understood.
It was probably the [Handsome Men and Beautiful Women] Family trait he drew not long ago that had taken effect, so Uchiha Obito's attractiveness to the opposite sex had increased.
"It seems the effect is surprisingly good."
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded in satisfaction.
Judging from this, if Obito's charm is so great, the other Uchiha Clan members probably aren't far behind.
Regardless of within the Clan, in the eyes of outsiders, the Uchiha Clan members are definitely hot commodities.
The situation of not being able to find a partner should no longer happen in the Uchiha Clan.
In this way, the Uchiha Clan's population growth rate will see another new increase.
