Uchiha Yuzuru chose to evolve the Magnet Release Bloodline (Sand).
Compared to the Chinoike Clan's Bloodline, the Magnet Release Bloodline possessed greater power, and its evolution was difficult to advance through intermarriage.
Therefore, there was no need to hesitate about which to choose.
As Uchiha Yuzuru's voice fell, the System's prompt sounded in his mind again.
"Ding! Magnet Release Bloodline (Sand) current evolution progress: 100%! You have gained one opportunity to draw a Family trait!"
"Draw a trait."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Family trait — Tailed Beast without a Tail!"
"Tailed Beast without a Tail: The Chakra of all Family members is doubled!"
As the System's voice faded, a smile appeared on Uchiha Yuzuru's face.
The last time Uchiha Yuzuru drew a Family trait, he obtained the [Strong and Healthy] trait, which doubled the Physique and Mental Energy of all Family members.
Now, he had drawn [Tailed Beast without a Tail], and with the two complementing each other, it was equivalent to all Family members' Chakra being four times what it originally was!
The Uchiha Clan Ninja originally had a relatively large amount of Chakra, second only to Ninja Clans renowned for their Chakra, such as the Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan.
Now, with a four-fold increase, they could indeed be called "Tailed Beasts without a Tail."
Moreover, the enhancement from these two traits was greater for Ninja who were already stronger.
From now on, the Uchiha Clan would certainly not lack high-end combat power.
"This will make things interesting when we attack Konoha," Uchiha Yuzuru chuckled softly.
If only he, Uchiha Yuzuru, were strong, then Konoha's ingrates might think the Uchiha Clan had merely gotten lucky.
But if every Ninja in the Uchiha Clan was exceptionally powerful, they would probably regret it to death.
After all, they were the ones who personally pushed the Uchiha Clan to become their adversaries.
Glancing at Konan, who was still sound asleep beside him, Uchiha Yuzuru activated Kamui and silently left the room.
Arriving at an empty training ground, Uchiha Yuzuru began to sense the newly acquired Magnet Release Bloodline Limit within him.
He placed his hand on the ground and used Chakra to create a pile of sand.
Then, with a thought, a large amount of sand floated up before him.
Just like controlling his own body, Uchiha Yuzuru could control the sand to do various things as he pleased.
"Go!"
Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand, and the sand engulfed a wooden stake in the training ground.
Immediately after, Uchiha Yuzuru clenched both hands: "Sand Binding Jutsu!"
Crack!
Under the powerful compression of the sand, the thick wooden stake was directly crushed into powder.
If it were a person, they would probably be crushed into a pulp!
"Both the speed and power are quite good," Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and nodded, then the sand quickly flew back to him.
Next, the sand gathered into a sand dune and floated beneath Uchiha Yuzuru's feet.
Uchiha Yuzuru stepped onto it, and the sand carried his body, steadily rising.
A moment later, Uchiha Yuzuru had already reached the high altitude above Hidden Cloud Village.
Overlooking the entire Hidden Cloud Village from above, Uchiha Yuzuru's expression couldn't help but show some excitement.
From today onwards, he also possessed the ability to fly!
Uchiha Yuzuru had never imagined that one day he would be so engrossed in playing with sand that he would forget the time.
It wasn't until the sun set that Uchiha Yuzuru, still somewhat reluctant, hurried back.
There was no other way; the feeling of flying in the sky was simply too wonderful.
Since he had already informed his Family members last time, the increase in Chakra for all of them this time did not cause too much commotion.
Everyone tacitly kept the secret to themselves, enjoying the wonderful and superior feeling brought by the unscientific increase in power.

Land of Iron.
Heavy snow fell from the sky, and the ground was pristine white.
Under the leadership of Uchiha Yuzuru, Sakumo Hatake, Ay, Killer Bee, Uchiha Fugaku, and others arrived before a continuous mountain range.
Further ahead was the town where the Land of Iron's samurai gathered.
Several samurai guarded the entrance of the canyon, wearing armor, gas masks, and four long swords at their waists.
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru, the samurai immediately gripped their weapons vigilantly.
"Who are you people, and why are you here? Our country does not welcome Ninja!"
"If you don't want a conflict, leave quickly."
A samurai said coldly.
Ever since the advent of Ninja, samurai had been in decline.
To maintain the samurai's status in the Ninja World, samurai from all over the Ninja World spontaneously gathered together, eventually developing into a country—the Land of Iron.
They took pride in being samurai, held firm to their beliefs, and eliminated all Ninja within the Land of Iron's borders.
However, as Ninja grew in number and strength, they could only declare neutrality to preserve themselves.
But deep down, the samurai of the Land of Iron still deeply disliked Ninja.
Especially in recent years, Ninja had even overthrown the Daimyo's rule, transforming themselves into the masters of the country... it was unforgivable!
Seeing that Uchiha Yuzuru and the others did not react, the samurai who had spoken earlier spoke again: "Hey! Are you bastards deaf? Get out before this lord gets angry!"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand: "Kill him."
As his voice fell, a blue lightning bolt instantly shot out.
"We are not bastards, you bastard!"
Boom!
Ay punched the samurai, sending him flying, then cleanly killed the remaining few.
After doing all this, Ay directly smashed the huge wooden gate blocking the way to smithereens with his body.
Just as he was about to charge in, a cold glint flashed quickly.
Ay dodged backward, leaving a deep sword mark on the ground.
Led by a man with bandages wrapped around his head, nearly a thousand samurai emerged in a dense crowd.
Glancing at the corpses on the ground, the man spoke coldly: "My name is Mifune, and I am the current leader of the Land of Iron."
"Your Excellency, why did you attack our comrades without cause?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru slowly said: "Our goal is only one, and that is to make the Land of Iron a part of our Land of Lightning's territory."
"From now on, everything in the Land of Iron will be decided by us."
Upon hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's answer, an angry expression appeared on Mifune's face: "Our Land of Iron has always maintained neutrality, not participating in any conflicts in the Ninja World, nor will we submit to any country."
Uchiha Yuzuru shrugged, indifferent: "If you don't agree, then you can only be annihilated."
Mifune stared at Uchiha Yuzuru for a while, then scanned Ay, Killer Bee, Uchiha Fugaku, and Sakumo Hatake, finally saying in a deep voice: "Can I take this as you declaring war on us?"
