As expected, the moment this thought formed in Ning Feng's mind, a clear and pleasant notification sounded in the next instant:
"Congratulations! You are about to descend into the Uchiha Clan!"
"Assigning your Uchiha Clan identity…"
Ning Feng waited quietly. Soon, various identity options appeared before his eyes—
Uchiha main-branch member,
Uchiha branch member,
Uchiha Itachi's younger brother,
Uchiha Sasuke's older brother…
These identities spun rapidly like a roulette wheel.
Another crisp notification suddenly rang out:
"Congratulations! You have obtained the identity of a main-branch Uchiha, becoming Uchiha Itachi's younger brother and Uchiha Sasuke's older brother!"
"Congratulations! You have obtained the Uchiha Clan's strongest bloodline: the Rikudo Bloodline!"
Two consecutive notifications rang out. Ning Feng froze for a moment—then his face lit up with delight. He hadn't expected the surprise to come this fast.
Starting out as Uchiha Itachi's younger brother and Uchiha Sasuke's older brother?
Didn't that mean that from the very beginning, he could cultivate ninjutsu and taijutsu alongside someone like Itachi—the legendary Itachi himself?
From the start, he was already leagues ahead of everyone else.
As for the so-called "Rikudo Bloodline," Ning Feng was briefly stunned before realizing what it meant.
Among the Uchiha Clan, bloodlines themselves varied greatly, and the Sharingan awakened by different bloodlines could differ drastically in strength.
The Rikudo Bloodline was the bloodline possessed by the legendary Uchiha Madara—the primordial ancestral lineage of the Uchiha clan.
For example, once Madara awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his ninjutsu power greatly increased.
By contrast, the Straight Tomoe Sharingan awakened by Uchiha Sasuke in the later stages primarily enhanced his combat abilities.
As for figures like Itachi and Shisui, their Sharingan mainly amplified genjutsu.
Now that Ning Feng possessed the Rikudo Bloodline, it meant that his future Sharingan would follow a path similar to Madara's—greatly enhancing his ninjutsu power.
In fact, the reason Uchiha Madara's techniques were so overwhelmingly powerful—especially Susanoo—was entirely due to his Rikudo Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Of course, if Ning Feng were to obtain Itachi's Sharingan in the future, he would naturally be able to unleash powerful genjutsu as well—techniques like Tsukuyomi.
Sure enough, as Ning Feng was thinking, the detailed attributes of the [Rikudo Bloodline] appeared before his eyes:
[Rikudo Bloodline]:
One of the strongest Uchiha bloodlines. Compared to other Uchiha clansmen, it has a much higher chance of awakening the Sharingan, and greatly enhances the user's ninjutsu aptitude and power.
Although no exact probabilities were listed, Uchiha Madara's later feats alone showed how terrifying this bloodline truly was.
Then Ning Feng thought of something else.
The reason he had consecutively obtained such an incredible identity and bloodline was most likely related to his cheat ability.
After all, he could only obtain S-rank rewards.
"Player identity successfully implanted. Player will now descend into the Naruto world."
"Please wait!"
Another crisp notification rang out, and Ning Feng once again felt a powerful pulling force seize him.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an ancient, elegant compound with traditional Japanese-style architecture.
Most notably, the surroundings were decorated with the Uchiha Clan's fan crest.
"So this is the Naruto World…?"
Ning Feng froze, then instinctively opened his status panel.
Name: Uchiha Feng
Level: 1
EXP: 0
Strength Tier: Uninitiated
Chakra: None
Age: 5
Clan: Uchiha Clan
Identity: Younger brother of Uchiha Itachi, older brother of Uchiha Sasuke
Items: None
Ninjutsu: None
Taijutsu: None
Genjutsu: None
Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan (Not Awakened)
Aside from the fact that he was an Uchiha, these stats were, to put it mildly, utterly miserable.
With a faint smile, Ning Feng closed the status panel. Only he knew that with the Uchiha Clan identity alone, everything else would come naturally.
Just as he was thinking, Several beams of white light flashed nearby as other players descended. A few players with Uchiha surnames also descended at the same time.
However, Ning Feng quickly noticed that their luck was nowhere near as good as his. They were all from Uchiha branch families, unlike him—a member of the main branch.
This distinction wasn't something to scoff at. Although Naruto never explicitly detailed it, in any clan, power was firmly controlled by the main branch. Branch families existed largely to serve them.
"Damn it, I should've known better than to choose the Uchiha Clan. Just look at this place—it's terrible, so remote!"
"Yeah! I heard from my classmates that clans like the Yamanaka and Akimichi live in the center of Konoha. The Uchiha compound is practically in the suburbs!"
"And you can't even delete your character and start over. Damn it… my hand slipped choosing this clan."
Before Ning Feng could say anything, those players were already grumbling in frustration, completely unaware of the Uchiha Clan's terrifying potential.
Ning Feng couldn't be bothered with them. He walked straight toward the center of the compound, hoping to run into Uchiha Itachi or others as soon as possible and quickly increase his strength.
Before he had gone far, an Uchiha branch clansman hurried over and said respectfully:
"Young Master Feng, Young Master Itachi has been looking for you. He's waiting for you in the clan meeting hall."
As he spoke, the clansman gestured politely in invitation.
Ning Feng's heart stirred with excitement.
As expected of a main-branch Uchiha—his status was on a completely different level. He had just arrived in the newbie area, and someone was already coming to summon him.
No wonder the Hyuga branch family harbored such hatred toward the main house—when the main house could strip the branch family of their lives at will.
Seeing Ning Feng being personally invited while they were ignored, one of the players immediately barked angrily:
"Hey! Why are you calling him and not us!?"
The moment they spoke, the Uchiha branch clansman's eyes flashed with fury. He flew into a rage:
"You are all branch family members! Show respect to Young Master Feng, understand!?"
As he spoke, his kunai lightly pressed against the lead player's neck.
"This identity really is something else."
Ning Feng glanced at the players who were left humiliated and seething with rage, then turned and walked straight toward the meeting hall.
In front of the hall stood Uchiha Itachi, calmly at the side of Uchiha Fugaku, a gentle smile on his face.
Beside them, Uchiha Mikoto, Fugaku's wife, was holding a baby in her arms—clearly the future Uchiha Sasuke.
"Uchiha Feng, you're here."
