As Uchiha Haru focused his thoughts, a cold, mechanical prompt echoed once again in his mind.
[Clan Growth System activated. Designed to assist the host in enhancing personal strength, reviving the Uchiha clan, and restoring clan honor.]
[Core functions of the system are as follows:]
Uchiha Haru concentrated, not daring to miss a single word.
He walked over to the window. Once he confirmed that those guys had already run off and no one was spying on him, he fully immersed his consciousness into his mind.
A semi-transparent azure interface slowly unfolded "before his eyes," like something out of a sci-fi movie.
At the very top of the interface was the iconic Uchiha fan crest, glowing faintly.
Beneath the crest were several main module options.
Haru first focused on the [Clan Overview] module.
[Clan Overview]
Clan Name: Uchiha
Clan Honor: 50 Points
Clan Strength Assessment: Genin-level (Early)
[Currently, the Uchiha clan is being suppressed by the Konoha leadership, plagued by internal conflict and disunity. The clan's overall strength is at a historic low.]
Staring at that harsh "Genin-level (Early)" rating and the blunt warning that followed, Uchiha Haru's mood grew heavy.
He knew the Uchiha's situation was bad, but he hadn't expected it to be this pathetic according to the system's evaluation.
The proud number one noble clan of the Leaf—once standing shoulder to shoulder with the Senju at the peak of the shinobi world—had now fallen to such depths!
"Fifty points of Clan Honor..." Uchiha Haru muttered thoughtfully.
He had earned those 50 points just from retaliating against Uchiha Kenta and his goons earlier.
It seemed that protecting the dignity of the Uchiha and elevating the clan's reputation were key ways to earn Honor.
He turned his attention to the second module—[Member List].
Upon clicking it, a dense list of names appeared, covering almost every living member of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fugaku (Clan Head)
Strength: Kage-level (Early)
Loyalty: 75% (to Clan), 0% (to Host)
Uchiha Shisui
Strength: Kage-level
Loyalty: 65% (to Clan, leans toward peace with the Leaf), 0% (to Host)
...
Haru's gaze swept across these familiar names, stirring up a storm of emotions in his chest.
Fugaku, the clan head—a hesitant, tragic figure.
Shisui and Itachi—two prodigies who chose to sacrifice the clan for the so-called "peace."
Almost every name came with strength ratings and two loyalty values: one toward the clan, the other toward him, the host.
Most of the clan still had decent loyalty to the Uchiha—typically over 70%—but their loyalty to Haru was abysmal, often below 30%, and some even in the negatives.
He couldn't blame them. The original Haru had been a nobody in the clan, carrying the label of a "loser."
Haru scrolled through the list until he found his own name:
[Host: Uchiha Haru]
Strength: Early Chunin
Clan Rank: Ordinary Genin
[System Notice: Starter Pack Acquired. The next rank-up reward will be available once the host is promoted to a full member of the Uchiha Police Force.]
"The Police Force, huh?" A glint flickered in Haru's eyes.
The Uchiha Police Force was the clan's official authority within Konoha, responsible for maintaining order. It was also the embodiment of the clan's core power.
Joining the Police Force wouldn't just boost his standing within the clan and earn system rewards—it would also be his first step toward touching the core of clan power, understanding its inner workings, and eventually seizing control.
Next, Haru opened the [System Shop / Exchange] module.
A dazzling array of items burst onto the screen, nearly overwhelming him.
Fire Style Ninjutsu Encyclopedia (Scroll) – 10,000 Honor Points
Lightning Chakra Nature Mastery (Beginner) – 5,000 Honor Points
Sharingan Evolution Guide (Two Tomoe) – 20,000 Honor Points
Mangekyō Sharingan Awakening Method (Fragmented) – 100,000 Honor Points
...
From basic ninjutsu to chakra nature manipulation, from Sharingan evolution to enhancements for various Kekkei Genkai—the options were vast.
There were even bizarre items like "Body Optimization Serum" and "Mental Power Amplifier."
But without exception, all of them required astronomical amounts of Clan Honor.
Right now, with just 50 points to his name, Haru couldn't even afford the cheapest consumable.
"Looks like earning Clan Honor is the top priority," Uchiha Haru concluded with clarity.
Finally, he clicked on the [Clan Skill Tree] module.
What appeared was a massive, sprawling tree diagram.
The base of the trunk read "Uchiha Bloodline," branching upward into countless nodes—such as "Increased Sharingan Awakening Rate," "Improved Chakra Refinement Efficiency," "Enhanced Fire Style Potency," "Training Speed Bonus for Clan Members," and "Boost to Clan Business Profits."
However, almost every node was currently grayed out, marked [Inactive].
Each skill node required a hefty amount of Clan Honor to activate, along with prerequisites like the host's clan rank or the clan's overall strength level.
'This is basically a full-blown clan simulation game!' Haru thought to himself.
This system wasn't just designed to make him stronger—it could uplift the entire Uchiha clan from the ground up!
If he could light up every node in this skill tree...
Uchiha Haru could hardly imagine how powerful the Uchiha clan would become.
Unify the shinobi world? Challenge the Ōtsutsuki?
At that moment, a flame called "ambition" blazed fiercely in Uchiha Haru's chest!
Lastly, he opened the [Clan Quests / Achievements] module.
For now, the quest list was empty.
[System Notice: No clan quests currently available. Host is encouraged to raise personal strength and clan standing. Quests will be issued based on real-time conditions.]
Haru slowly exited the system interface, his gaze deep and intense.
After the initial excitement came calm reflection.
He understood all too well—his current strength was still nothing before true powerhouses.
And the crisis facing the Uchiha was like a mountain pressing down on him.
The suspicion and suppression from the Konoha leadership—especially that hidden viper, Shimura Danzo—could deliver a fatal strike to the Uchiha at any moment.
"Since I've come to this world and become Uchiha Haru, I won't let the clan massacre happen!"
"The fate of the Uchiha... will be rewritten by my own hands!"
