[Ding! Detected special clan member with unique bloodline: Yotsuki Bloodline!]
[Current Yotsuki Bloodline Evolution: 100%!]
At dawn, a clear and melodic voice echoed in Yuzuru Uchiha's mind.
He opened his eyes sharply, the corner of his mouth curling into a faint smile.
After all this time, the Yotsuki Bloodline had finally completed its evolution.
The instant the system message faded, Yuzuru's body underwent a dramatic transformation.
He could feel it—the density of his body changing, his physical strength growing, and his chakra surging rapidly.
The transformation was brief but intense. Within moments, his body stabilized again, though now it was vastly different from before.
Yuzuru stood up. His physique was lean and powerful, muscles sharply defined and radiating raw masculine strength. Every small movement carried an effortless dominance.
The chakra within him had multiplied. After a rough estimation, he realized he now possessed at least fifty units of chakra!
The Third Raikage had fought the ninja of Iwagakure for three days and nights—Yuzuru felt he could go five days and nights without tiring.
Taking a deep breath, he focused, channeling the memory of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode into practice.
The once-destructive nature of lightning now coursed through his body harmoniously, not tearing his cells apart but invigorating them.
With every spark of lightning, his body's cells underwent ceaseless transformation and strengthening.
"At this rate," he murmured, "mastering the Lightning Release Chakra Mode will be child's play."
"This system's power… it's absurdly overpowered."
He inhaled deeply, steadying his excitement. The road ahead was long—this was just one step.
Then, a voice called from outside the door. "Lord Yuzuru, are you home?"
"I'm here. Come in," he replied.
The door opened, and Karura stepped inside—only to freeze the moment her eyes fell on him.
Her face instantly flushed red.
"L-Lord Yuzuru, y-your clothes…" Her voice trembled like a mosquito's hum, barely audible.
If not for Yuzuru's sharp senses, he wouldn't have even caught it.
"I was training just now. Forgot to put a shirt on."
He explained casually before slipping into his upper robe.
Karura kept her head down, unable to look at him again. His chiseled frame, paired with his handsome face, made even the air around him feel feverishly hot.
That body… that face…
So unfair!
Suddenly, Karura felt her nose tingle. Her eyes widened in alarm as she quickly covered her nose with both hands, frantically shaking her head.
No no no—get those thoughts out of my mind!
Yuzuru, completely unaware of her mental meltdown, frowned in concern. "Karura, are you feverish?"
"Eh?! I—I'm not feeling hot—uh, I mean, not sick!"
Her knees went weak, barely keeping her upright.
"T-today's your wedding," she stammered. "I just came to bring your clothes… they're on the table."
"A-and now I'll be going!"
She dropped the folded outfit on the table and bolted from the room as if fleeing for her life.
Yuzuru blinked, glancing down at the drops of nosebleed she'd left on the floor.
"…Wait, were we even having the same conversation just now?"

As the sun rose, the entire Hidden Cloud Village came alive with celebration.
Today was Yuzuru Uchiha's wedding. The villagers filled the streets, cheering and lighting firecrackers.
Drums thundered, laughter echoed, and the entire village felt as festive as during a great holiday.
Inside the Uchiha compound, the atmosphere was equally grand.
The Third Raikage, Tarou Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha, Sakumo Hatake, A, and nearly every notable Cloud leader had gathered to congratulate him.
In the center of it all stood Lihuo Uchiha, surrounded by smiles and overflowing flattery.
He couldn't stop grinning; his mouth nearly reached his ears.
The Uchiha clan valued pride above all else—and today, that pride blazed like fire.
The entire village was celebrating. The Third Raikage, A, Sakumo Hatake, and Tōdai himself had come to toast him. Who had ever received such an honor?
Even Fugaku's own wedding hadn't drawn this much spectacle.
For Lihuo, the frustration of having both his daughters "snatched by the same man" was finally soothed.
Kakashi Hatake looked toward Yuzuru, who was helping Mikoto and Kushina adjust their attire, his expression filled with admiration.
'Senior Yuzuru is like a protagonist straight out of a romance novel… it's unreal.'
He turned to Obito. "Obito, isn't Senior Yuzuru amazing? Makes you jealous, doesn't it?"
Obito ate a piece of cake, shrugging. "What's there to envy? I'm a pure love believer."
"…"
As the guests laughed and talked, the stars of the ceremony stepped out.
Mikoto, her long black hair flowing, looked as gentle as water.
Kushina, with her bright red hair, radiated fiery liveliness.
The scene fell silent in awe.
"Their looks are unreal! Lord Yuzuru, Lady Mikoto, Lady Kushina—they're the perfect match!"
"Lord Yuzuru's so blessed—two beautiful wives at once!"
"Damn, the lucky ones get everything! I've been single for over twenty years—when's my turn?"
"So jealous! Maybe I should talk to my wife about… expanding our household?"
"Brother, don't dig your own grave."
"For the sake of increasing the Uchiha population, Clan Head Yuzuru leads by example. Truly… I'm moved to tears!"
The chatter filled the air with laughter and envy.
Then—smack!
The Third Raikage slapped A across the back of the head. "Look at Yuzuru—then look at yourself! You make me want to use a Guillotine Drop on you right now!"
A rubbed his head and sulked in the corner. Why was he always the one getting hit? He swore he'd never attend another wedding again. (T/N: fair enough hahahah XD)

The ceremony proceeded smoothly, filled with cheers and blessings.
When it finally ended, the entire village still buzzed with excitement.
[Ding! Detected special clan member with unique bloodline: Uzumaki Bloodline!]

The system's message echoed once more in Yuzuru's mind.
But this time, he was far too distracted by the moment to care.
