Naruto: The Defense-Breaking System – Putting Some Pressure on the Shinobi World

Chapter 42 Speculating about others with the utmost malice

Uchiha Ling arrived at his second brother's house excitedly, intending to ask for more living expenses.

Having bone density and muscle mass alone is not enough; you also need to provide your body with sufficient nutrition.

Even the strongest ninja can't grow strong through photosynthesis; they need to eat well to thrive.

It is said that scholars are poor while warriors are rich, and this saying is even more true in the ninja world.

Why are ninja clan members so strong? Because ninja clans have vast industries and receive substantial clan subsidies, ensuring that every child in the clan has a healthy body, making them, on average, stronger than ordinary ninjas.

Examples include the Sarutobi clan's explosive tag industry, the Nara clan's medicinal herb industry, the Akimichi clan's restaurant industry, the Hyuga clan's aristocratic trade industry, and the Uchiha clan's security department's fines.

Why does the image of the Uchiha clan change when the industry is mentioned?

"Second brother, I feel like I'm growing a lot lately, and I'm always hungry. Could you give me an extra 2000 taels of silver for living expenses each month?"

Uchiha Ryo's living expenses consisted of three parts: 4000 ryo per month for his parents' sacrifice, 6000 ryo per month for the Uchiha clan's subsidy, and 4000 ryo per month for his second brother who said he would take care of him until he became a genin.

Thanks to the help of his family and his second brother, he lived a life of unparalleled luxury among the orphans of Konoha.

However, even this couldn't stop Uchiha Ryo from wanting to eat meat.

The wicked Hidden Leaf Village—putting aside all its other evils, its prices are outrageously high.

A bowl of vegetarian ramen costs 60 liang (approximately 300 grams), meat ramen costs 120 liang (approximately 600 grams), and meatball ramen made from leftover minced meat costs 90 liang (approximately 400 grams).

A month's food alone costs around 5000 taels of silver, and relying solely on the village's compensation for the sacrifices, they often go hungry.

As for eating meat, orphans can forget about it; Konoha's compensation program doesn't include providing meat for orphans.

The 6000 ryo given by the Uchiha clan was the bulk of the money, allowing Uchiha Ryo to eat some meat every day.

Thanks to the family. Whether the family is good or bad, it is a sanctuary for me. Such a family must never be wiped out.

Upon hearing Uchiha Ryo's request, Uchiha Jō raised his hand and patted Uchiha Ryo's shoulder.

"You know what, your bones are really tough to hold. Alright, starting this month, I'll give you 6000 taels every month. I'll go get the money for you."

"Thank you, Second Brother! You're so good to me!" Uchiha Ryo said. "Second Brother! Even if you were to sacrifice yourself someday, I'd still raise your child like this!"

"You fucking um..." Uchiha Jō realized he shouldn't have cursed his aunt, kicked Uchiha Ryō, and went upstairs.

Oh no, it seems my cousin has gone astray. I feel like kicking him a few times. I wonder how much people dislike him.

According to intelligence from the security department, my cousin is a devilish person at school, the class's public enemy. I hope he doesn't get beaten up by all the students one day.

While waiting in the living room, Uchiha Ryo saw the sunlight shining on her uncle's family photo.

Certain details in the photo struck Uchiha Ryo as odd.

Everywhere else, the sunlight was reflected like a mirror, but the face and body of the eldest brother, Uchiha Zetsu, were blurry.

Upon closer inspection, it's covered in fingerprints.

Uchiha Ryo was in a low mood. When his second brother was home alone, he must often stroke the family photo, especially his eldest brother's face.

The Uchiha clan seems to have an innate gene for deep brotherly affection; perhaps the second brother often misses his eldest brother.

In the Uchiha clan, the condition for the birth of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is the fusion of the Mangekyou Sharingan of two brothers.

It's a pity that the eldest brother, Uchiha Jue, has already sacrificed himself; otherwise, Uchiha Jue and Uchiha Jō would also have had the possibility of obtaining the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

He took the family photo and, just like his second brother, tried to find the eldest brother's place in the photo.

If the eldest brother were here, with his thick skin, wouldn't he be able to ask for 1 taels of silver a month for living expenses?

My older brother is the pillar of our family, and he was treated even better back then.

I can't imagine how wealthy his life must be.

She's practically the Principal Wang or the Second Princess of the Orphanage!

A year ago, my eldest brother sacrificed himself in a mission. It was Uchiha Rin who helped with the funeral arrangements. My second brother was also in a mission. It took half a month after my eldest brother's death for him to rush back.

Uchiha Lingyu caught a glimpse of a dark figure on the stairwell. As if possessed, he turned the picture frame and saw his second brother standing on the stairs through the reflection.

His pupils flickered slightly. Why did his second brother have that expression?

Slightly nervous, then with a hint of panic.

The footsteps were very loud.

"Ling, I've brought you the money. Don't spend it recklessly."

Uchiha Ryo couldn't detect anything unusual in his second brother's tone.

He casually put the photo down.

Looking up at my second brother's expression, I saw that he had returned to his previous state.

"I know, I won't spend it recklessly, I'll use it all to buy eggs."

In my past life, I heard Dr. Flatfish say that eggs are far superior to all other foods in terms of nutritional value.

If you could only use one food to supplement all the nutrients the human body needs, it would definitely be eggs.

Whether you're looking to supplement calcium or protein, eat eggs. Eggs are also one of the cheapest and most cost-effective everyday foods that Uchiha Rin can buy.

Uchiha Jō said, "I've seen you go to the training ground several times with a little girl with curly hair and red eyes. If you dare to spend money on a little girl..."

"No! Absolutely not! You must be talking about my classmate, Kurenai Yuhi. We're just ordinary classmates!"

Uchiha Jō smiled and said, "If you dare to spend money on little girls, then I'll have to give you some more dating funds."

"Haha, then I'll ask you for help again later."

After leaving his second brother's house, Uchiha Rin looked back at his second brother's house with a complicated expression after walking a distance.

He doesn't hesitate to assume the worst about others, but this person can't be his second brother, can he?

What's with the panicked look in my second brother's eyes when he's behind me?

After Madara Uchiha defected from the village, a rumor circulated within the clan that Madara had killed his younger brother Izuna Uchiha, stolen Izuna's Mangekyou Sharingan, and gained the ability to challenge the First Hokage.

There has long been a rumor within the Uchiha clan that they kill their closest relatives to gain greater power, and Madara Uchiha's killing of Izuna Uchiha confirmed this rumor.

Ryo Uchiha suspected that the spread of this rumor was due to the Uchiha clan deliberately smearing Madara Uchiha in order to curry favor with the village.

Second brother... Second brother, you can't believe that rumor, can you?

Uchiha Ryo temporarily suppressed his doubts and went to buy eggs.

In addition to the regular staple food, he ate five boiled eggs for dinner. Afterwards, he dug out the wooden stakes and sandbags that his father used to use in the basement.

From now on, we won't be hitting the air in physical training anymore; hitting the sandbag is more effective than hitting the air.

With increased bone density, you can train your fists and feet more effectively.

Practice heavy blows, penetrating power, force hardness, and overall strength to enhance the lethality of heavy punches and kicks, strengthen the hardness of punches and kicks, and stabilize the center of gravity.

The experience of sandbag training is far superior to shadowboxing. Through continuous hammering, it can also promote increased bone density and help you master the correct way to generate force.

By practicing this set of techniques, my physical skills will definitely improve further.
