Chapter 88: You Need to Start a Family

Even a little bit of effort from them would have saved everyone from this humiliation at the clan meeting. But there was no way around it; those without awakened Sharingan held a lower status.

The Uchiha clan always revered strength.

Didn't Elder Uchiha Hiishi have to address Uchiha Izumi as "master" now?

They were just barely hanging on, and being able to attend this clan meeting was already an honor. They had no right to speak much here.

"Those with and without awakened Sharingan are the same. Everyone must have at least three children within five years."

"This is the minimum requirement. Our Uchiha clan has weakened to this point."

"The responsibility of revival falls on everyone's shoulders."

"Even I, as the current clan head, am no exception."

"I will also continue to strive to strengthen the Uchiha clan."

"If you feel you are unable, you can seek Shizune's help. She can help you condition your bodies."

Reijin spoke slowly, his tone firm.

No matter who said it, this matter had to be settled.

Shizune was already prepared, nodding under everyone's gaze.

"I will help condition your bodies according to your individual needs!"

"Lord Reijin has already arranged this with me."

Shizune said slowly.

As Tsunade's only disciple, inheriting her mantle, helping with this kind of conditioning was a minor task.

This kind of thing didn't even need Tsunade's involvement; she could handle it alone.

"..."

"..."

The Uchiha looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

They couldn't say they were inadequate in front of everyone.

Such a shameful thing was impossible for the prideful Uchiha.

Moreover, all of this was for the Uchiha clan, and they couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

These young adults could only nod slowly, accepting this matter.

Those without partners felt a sense of urgency.

Reijin had given a direct order; how could they relax?

In the current Uchiha clan, Reijin's orders were absolute; no one could refute them.

"Lord Reijin, I have no objections to this order!"

"But as the clan head, Lord Reijin, the purity of the family bloodline must also be ensured."

At this moment, Uchiha Hiishi spoke.

Everyone's eyes fell on Violet, who stood beside Reijin.

Although she was a princess of a country, she was not considered good enough in the eyes of the Uchiha.

The children she bore would be considered impure.

"What are you trying to say?"

Reijin frowned, sensing this old man's intentions.

"I think Lord Reijin should marry another member of the clan!"

"On the one hand, to ensure the purity of the bloodline, and on the other hand, to ensure the strength of the Uchiha clan's leader."

Uchiha Hiishi spoke slowly, enduring Reijin's murderous gaze.

The future of the Uchiha clan rested on Reijin's shoulders.

As for children with ordinary people, their bloodline was definitely not pure enough.

Whether they could awaken the Sharingan in the future was uncertain.

If they couldn't awaken the Sharingan, wouldn't the Uchiha clan become a laughingstock?

The heir of the Uchiha, unable to awaken the Sharingan.

How could they lead the rest of the clan?

Reijin was alive now, but Uchiha Hiishi was already planning for after Reijin's death.

"..."

Reijin nodded, not objecting to Uchiha Hiishi's proposal.

Besides, he had just said he would lead by example; he couldn't just pretend.

"Uchiha Izumi is a good choice! She can shoulder great responsibilities in the future."

Uchiha Hiishi quickly added.

He had a very good impression of Uchiha Izumi.

Moreover, this child had already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

She was clearly a pillar of their Uchiha clan.

"Izumi is still young. Let's talk about it after she turns eighteen."

Reijin said.

Uchiha Izumi was only about ten years old.

This old man was really bold.

He would let him retire in Dressrosa.

He would find someone else to handle the finances.

He could just stay there, watch the Uchiha grow stronger every day, and slowly wait for his death.

"Alright! I have no other objections."

Uchiha Hiishi immediately nodded.

It wasn't him who had to get married and have children, so he had no worries.

In fact, he wasn't worried at all; he was even quite pleased.

In the ninja world, they had to get married quickly due to the constant threat of danger.

But this world was different; they could take their time here.

As long as Reijin agreed, that was enough.

The rest would naturally fall into place.

Uchiha Izumi just nodded silently, having no objections to Uchiha Hiishi's arrangements.

The others had even less to say; they were even happy to see this happen.

Reijin's strength was their strength. 

"Also... a Police Department will be established in Dressrosa!"

"The head of the Police Department will be Uchiha Tetsuka. Those who wish to join can sign up with him."

"Both those with and without awakened Sharingan can join. Those with awakened Sharingan will be official members, while those without will be interns."

"Members of other families can also participate. This is not just a matter for the Uchiha."

Reijin arranged the Police Department matters and did not refuse the participation of other families.

There was no need!

The other families were insignificant.

Even if they joined the Police Department, they wouldn't have much impact.

Moreover, most of them were already attracted by the benefits.

"Thank you, Lord Reijin. The Police Department will become the sharpest blade of the Uchiha."

Uchiha Tetsuka stood up excitedly and said.

With the Ishi Ishi no Mi ability, he would be invincible in Dressrosa.

He didn't expect to have the opportunity to become the head of the Police Department.

Although it was different from Konoha... there was no Sarutobi clan here to show off their power.

But it wasn't bad either.

He was already very satisfied.

"Hmm! The most important thing for you now is to learn Haki!"

"The ninja's attack power is too low! From now on, focus on mastering Haki."

"But if you're confident, you can develop both at the same time."

Reijin announced his orders and felt relieved.

The strength of the Uchiha clan was closely related to him; he couldn't ignore it.

It was good that the Uchiha clan was obedient now. As for contributing, they weren't needed at all.

"What about us?"

Kakashi asked lazily.

He didn't believe Reijin had no plans for them.

This guy wouldn't just watch them idle around.

"Of course, there's something for you too!"

Reijin naturally had arrangements for him.

How could he overlook a special figure like Kakashi?

"But... Kakashi, you're the only one left in the Hatake clan, right?"

"I think you should also consider starting a family for the Hatake clan."

Reijin suddenly said in a serious tone.

"???"

The Uchiha clan was almost extinct, and it had something to do with his Hatake clan?

He didn't even have the same surname as them, yet Reijin was meddling in his affairs.

Kakashi felt a mix of panic and anticipation.

He wasn't quite sure of his true feelings.

"You're the same as the other Uchiha. I don't want you to have no one to take care of you in your old age."

"As your friend, I'm doing this for your own good."

Reijin patted Kakashi's shoulder and said.

"The same goes for the rest of you. I won't favor the Uchiha over you."

"This place will be the new Konoha in the future, so we need diverse strength."

"I also hope you'll have many children, making Dressrosa's system flourish."

Reijin looked at Nara Shikaku and the others.

They all came from the ninja world, and he didn't intend to restrict them.

Reijin gave them the same conditions and benefits as the Uchiha.

"Uh, I'll pass!"

Nara Shikaku said with embarrassment, not daring to respond further.

Because a tigress in the crowd was staring at him.

If he showed even a hint of interest, he would definitely face a storm when he returned home tonight.

After all, Reijin had even brought the wives of the clan heads.

He didn't dare to act rashly now. Maybe having more children when he got back was possible.

As for taking concubines!

Who gave him the courage?

"Nosy!"

Tsunade muttered in the crowd, feeling impatient.

These were all topics she didn't want to hear.

"We'll consider this matter carefully."

The others from the various families responded, their faces slightly embarrassed.

They weren't too keen on this matter and were just trying to appease Reijin.

But a few people from the Hyuga clan exchanged glances.

They were from the Branch House!

They hadn't married or had children yet.

Because their children would be burdened with the Caged Bird Seal in the future.

They hated the Caged Bird Seal but were helpless against it.

And now, they saw hope!

Uchiha Reijin wouldn't allow the Caged Bird Seal to exist here.

The Branch House system would collapse!

Their future children could roam freely in this vast sea.

The two or three people from the Branch House exchanged glances and silently lowered their heads.

This scene was noticed by Hyuga Hiashi.

But he didn't say anything.

That damned Uchiha clan, now even the Hyuga clan was falling apart internally.

Fortunately, Lady Tsunade had been released!

Now was the time to compete with the Uchiha clan.

Only the Senju could rival the Uchiha.

Anyone from the ninja world knew this.

So now, all they could rely on was Tsunade.

"You've all made significant contributions this time!"

"Consider this a reward for you."

Reijin had someone bring a box, and when it was opened, there were two Devil Fruits inside.

Suddenly, everyone from the various families gasped.

They didn't expect the Uchiha clan to be so generous.

Rewarding them with Devil Fruits.

Although they didn't know what kind of fruits they were, it was enough to shock them.

One was the Paramecia-type Ton Ton Fruit, found in Doflamingo's inventory.

Doflamingo still had a few fruits in stock, but Reijin didn't take them out so easily.

If he took out too many, they wouldn't cherish them!

The other one was the Zoan-type Beetle Beetle Fruit, Model: Rhinoceros Beetle!

This fruit was found by the Aburame clan on Green Bit.

It was the small island next to Dressrosa.

At the same time, the Aburame clan also found the Heal Heal Fruit and the Zoan-type Beetle Beetle Fruit, Model: Hornet.

These three fruits were handed over to Reijin together!

And the Hornet Model was given to Aburame Shibi!

Reijin wasn't stingy with his own people.

Besides, others might not be interested in this kind of Beetle Beetle Fruit.

Only the Aburame clan, who played with insects, would treasure it like a precious gem.

The Ton Ton Fruit was awarded to Akimichi Choji of the Akimichi clan.

The Rhinoceros Beetle Fruit was given to Aburame Shino of the Aburame clan.

Their parents had done their part, and Reijin rewarding their children was no problem at all.

On the contrary, it made these families even more loyal.

The rewards were tangible and in their hands.

These families had no objections.

However, their focus was no longer on Konoha.

They were thinking about how to be like the Nara clan, always by the Uchiha's side.

This feast of meat made all the families envious.

How could they be indifferent?

Their goal was to seek benefits for their families.

Reijin didn't have time to pay attention to the thoughts of these families.

As long as they did their jobs, Reijin wouldn't be stingy with Devil Fruits.

After all, the Uchiha were still recuperating, and they currently relied on these small clans.

Not bringing too many people meant that even if they united, they wouldn't have the power to resist Reijin.

Originally, Reijin planned to bring the Hyuga Branch House, but bringing them here... was it to strengthen the Uchiha or the Hyuga? This was a crucial question.
