Rebuilding Uchiha By Removing Fugaku

[Bloodline R&D Center (Level 1): Enables family members to activate and upgrade dormant bloodlines. Upgrading to the next level requires 100,000 family prestige points.]

As everyone knows,

In the world of Japanese manga, the concept of lineage dominates.

Although Toki also wanted to shout, "Talent is more important than lineage!"

The reality of the ninja world is that power is determined entirely by your birth.

Civilian ninjas can never match those with Kekkei Genkai.

Ninjas with Kekkei Genkai can't compete with those who possess Kekkei Tōta.

And those with Kekkei Tōta are still beneath the gods who wield Kekkei Mōra.

The overarching narrative of the Naruto world is basically a "Chronicle of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's Civil Wars."

When you think Sarutobi Hiruzen is impressive for single-handedly dismantling the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha clans—elevating the Sarutobi clan to the top of Konoha—you later discover that all his scheming can't match up to the strength of a single godlike figure.

Even Hiruzen himself understood this well.

Why else would he go to such lengths to eliminate the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha clans?

It was because he feared the rise of another Hashirama or Madara, whose overwhelming strength couldn't be defeated with mere cunning.

Thus, Toki had no hesitation in activating the Bloodline R&D Center once he had enough family prestige.

Forget the nonsense about "genius being 99% effort and 1% talent."

In this world, talent determines 99.9999999% of everything.

Take Obito, for example. He was the class clown, the eternal dead-last. But his first Sharingan upgrade gave him two tomoe. His second awakening directly unlocked the Mangekyō, and by his third appearance, he was going toe-to-toe with Minato, the Fourth Hokage.

Did he work hard? Yes. But his meteoric rise was entirely due to his bloodline—Mangekyō Sharingan and Hashirama cells.

Activating the Bloodline R&D Center only cost 10,000 points of family prestige, which was more than Shiyu had spent over the past three months combined.

Thankfully, the system did not disappoint. After many experiments by his clan members, the center's basic function became clear:

It could fuse chakra natures to create Kekkei Genkai.

For example, combining Fire and Wind chakras could successfully develop Scorch Release.

Once developed, every clan member with Fire and Wind chakra could easily master Scorch Release ninjutsu via the R&D Center.

The same principle applied to other Kekkei Genkai:

Boil Release

Ice Release

Lava Release

And even advanced abilities like Kekkei Tōta (Dust Release) and Kekkei Mōra (Truth-Seeking Balls, Yomotsu Hirasaka).

The only downside was the time required for development:

Kekkei Genkai: 1 year.

Kekkei Tōta: 5 years.

Kekkei Mōra: 10 years.

The only way to shorten this research time was by submitting data on the abilities.

To do this, Toki needed to scan the bodies of individuals who already possessed the bloodline traits at the R&D Center.

This was why Toki instructed Yatsushiro and Inabo to track down Pakura of the Scorch Release.

In fact, Toki planned to locate and scan every bloodline user in existence. Once their data was entered into the system, his clan could replicate their abilities.

But the Bloodline R&D Center had an even more astonishing function.

Beyond chakra-based abilities, it could also replicate genetic mutations unique to the ninja world—traits like Sharingan, Byakugan, and Shikotsumyaku.

Toki suspected that his own ability to assimilate Fugaku's Sharingan was a result of the R&D Center's hidden capabilities.

...

Eager to take full advantage of this, Toki returned to Konoha without delay.

By now, his mastery of trap-based techniques and the system's enchantment rewards had reached unparalleled heights. Konoha's detection barriers were useless against him; he slipped back into the village undetected.

"Lord Toki!"

Uchiha Setsuna bowed with an expression of fanatical reverence.

Toki nodded and asked, "What about Shisui?"

Setsuna smirked, "As ordered, he's gone to collect funds."

Toki's lips curled into a smile.

If the daimyo and nobles didn't even see ninjas as humans, why should he be polite? No money, no war.

Toki then followed Setsuna to the Bloodline R&D Center.

The building was a semi-spherical structure reminiscent of Dragon Ball's aesthetic, housing a futuristic bio-laboratory generated by the system.

Setsuna pointed to the bio-pod inside, his face alight with excitement.

"As long as someone lies inside, it shows which Kekkei Genkai they can develop. I have Fire, Earth, and Yin attributes, so I can develop Lava Release and even upgrade to Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"Also, clan members who haven't awakened their Sharingan can activate it directly using their Yin chakra alone."

Toki froze.

"Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Setsuna nodded fervently.

"All clan members with Sharingan are prompted to upgrade to Mangekyō. The time required varies by level: 1 year for Three-Tomoe, 3 years for single-tomoe Sharingan."

"Additionally, the Mangekyō abilities seem to be fixed—everyone gets Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. It's not determined by the user's emotions like you said."

Toki's eyes widened in shock.

Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu?

Isn't that Fugaku's skillset?

If this was true, in just one year, every Uchiha in the clan could wield Mangekyō Sharingan as a starting point!
