Chapter 769

Lin Cheng quickly arranged staff to continue the startup work that had been left unfinished, and this time no incidents occurred; the Thirteen Unit was successfully activated.

The energy of the entire Dragon Vein deposit was continuously converted into electricity for the Lolan Camp.

The system transmitted many ninja techniques into Lin Cheng's mind that required great skill and talent; Lin Cheng tried most of them himself, but many he performed poorly, since his soul was from Earth.

His power increase still relied on the system; his talent might be even worse than in the original work.

Fortunately, his descendants possessed slightly godlike talent, which brought Lin Cheng great comfort.

The Uchiha clan's transmissions would no longer worry about lacking successors.

Among Lin Cheng's descendants, the one with the strongest current talent is seventeen-year-old Ranyebu, daughter of Inuzuka Kei, a perfect-type ninja.

Her talent rivals Kakashi's, even surpassing him.

If one must find a flaw in Ranyebu, it is that she is still too kind, lacking the ruthless decisiveness forged by battlefield experience.

Last time, if the Iwa Village hadn't made clear their intent to kill her and her sister, Ranyebu would never have used lethal force—and afterward, she felt miserable for many days.

In the end, Inuzuka Kei soothed her young heart with a feast.

After finishing the meal, Ranyebu begged Inuzuka Kei to teach her how to make it.

"So, you want to learn so you can cook for someone later?"

"I want to make it for Dad, and for my sisters." Ranyebu loved Lin Cheng, her father, more than anything.

Ranyebu was the daughter who most loved to cuddle with Lin Cheng, especially when no one else was around—she would cling to him constantly.

Although Ranyebu always played the role of the sensible older sister in front of the other children, with Lin Cheng she remained the little girl who adored her father.

Lin Cheng cherished this father-daughter bond and made time whenever possible to play with his daughter.

Fortunately, Lin Cheng's power growth relied mainly on the system—ordinary ninja simply didn't have this much time or energy to spend with their families.

In the Uchiha mansion in Wave Country.

Yūhi An and her two daughters were playing a match together.

"Mom, hurry to GUNK mid-lane! I'm getting crushed by the enemy!" Konna, playing mid-lane mage.

"I'm dead!" Yūhi An roared in frustration after being counter-jungled to death.

"You didn't even come to help me on top lane, and you're just leisurely last-hitting? Is that really okay?"

On top lane was Yūhi An's other daughter, Renge, who was playing a bulky Earth Shadow, Dong Zhuo, recklessly.

"Mypas, don't worry, once I get tanky, team fights will be easy." Renge's voice carried a cute, childish lilt.

Though her words were chaotic, Yūhi An couldn't get angry at her.

"Mom, hold strong—come help me gank more. I can carry!" Konna knew this match would again fall on her shoulders; relying on those two mothers was hopeless.

"Mom, when will Dad come back? I miss him." Renge asked while farming her lane.

"I miss Aunt Hizuko too," Konna added after hearing Renge's words.

"Do you really miss Aunt Hizuko? You just crave her cooking," Yūhi An replied offhandedly.

"Anyway, when will Dad and the others come back?"

"Soon, I think. Last night on the call, they said things were nearly settled over there."

"Mom, you said the ninja school is opening soon—will there be lots of little kids there?" Renge quickly shifted topics.

Children were like that—their thoughts raced fast, changing every moment.

"Yes, all company employees' kids. You can play games together with them."

"No way. Only Konna can keep up with me."

Konna had now become completely serious; dragon horns had grown on her head from chakra activation.

This time, the Wave Island Company's ninja academy officially opened, and the number of applicants was substantial.

But few would graduate and become genin, since most applicants were merely company dependents.

The Wave Island Company's ninja school was a company benefit.

If you worked at the company for three years, your child could attend for free.

Such matters still required talent and family lineage.

Akimichi Chōji, lacking a family secret technique, might only attend school.

With a family secret technique, one could instantly convert fat into chakra for power.

Besides Uchiha's son, there was also Sun Zi, the bridge expert's son, and Hai, the son of the Shanghai garrison stationed in Lolan.

The remaining children's ninja talent appeared generally ordinary.

Unless they later cultivated the Kong Miao Method, sacrificing looks and lifespan for power.

For over a year, the Akatsuki organization has remained extremely silent, taking no further action; the Shinobi World has heard no news—no one knows what they are doing.

Jiraiya's intelligence from the Rain Village indicates that the Akatsuki's current goal is to capture the tailed beasts from the villages and forge them into the Ten-Tails weapon, ultimately achieving Shinobi World domination.

But since their crushing defeat in Wave Country, the Akatsuki has not been hired for any missions to earn money.
