"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Pokémon Sign-in System has been installed!"
A mechanical synthesized voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Uchiha Tendō was startled at first, then understood what it was—the essential blessing for a Transmigrator.
Due to his excellent innate talent, he was confident that even without any external help, he would stand at the peak of the Ninja world.
Therefore, after eight years of Transmigration, he had never thought about a System, but having a System was ultimately a good thing.
"What are your functions?"
Hearing Uchiha Tendō's question, the voice in his mind spoke again.
"The current functions of this System are only Sign-in and a character panel; other functions will be unlocked later.
Sign-in is divided into twelve monthly Sign-ins and one annual Sign-in. Through Sign-in, the host can obtain various items from the Pokémon world."
Uchiha Tendō raised an eyebrow.
"Does that mean you are currently in an incomplete state and can restore your original functions through repair later?"
"Yes, Host."
"Then how are my Sign-ins from the past eight years calculated?"
"---"
"Ding! According to System evaluation, the host will be compensated with a 100% gold drop for the first Sign-in."
Seeing the System offer compensation, Uchiha Tendō knew when to stop.
"Then let's proceed with this month's Sign-in now."
"Signing in for the host…"
"Congratulations to the host for a successful Sign-in: Groudon's Power."
"Groudon's Power: The pure power of Groudon, one of the three Legendary Pokémon of Hoenn. After absorption, it will exist in a form similar to a Jinchuriki."
Uchiha Tendō stroked his chin.
"A Jinchuriki-like form? If it's extracted from my body, won't I die?"
"Groudon's Power will only transform into pure power and fuse with the host, becoming a part of the host's physical strength."
"The so-called Jinchuriki-like form refers to abilities such as Tailed Beast Transformation."
"Groudon's Power will not develop an independent consciousness, nor will the situation the host is worried about occur."
If that's the case, then this is indeed a good power.
Uchiha Tendō placed the sleeping Akiho on the bed and went to the backyard.
"System, absorb Groudon's Power."
"Ding! Injecting Groudon's Power into the host."
A magma-like liquid flowed out from the Void Realm, pouring into Uchiha Tendō's body.
"Hoo~~"
Uchiha Tendō slowly exhaled a turbid breath, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opening.
A reddish-gold light flashed in his eyes.
"Is this Groudon's Power? It's simply terrifying!"
Uchiha Tendō looked at the steel kunai he had casually bent, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"System, open the character panel."
A light blue glowing screen quickly appeared in his mind.
"Host: Uchiha Tendō"
"Mental Energy: 1000"
"Physique: 200"
"Bloodline Limit: Double Tomoe Sharingan"
"Tailed Beast: Groudon (Fusion 3%)"
"Skills: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Uchiha Style Sword Art, Uchiha Style Taijutsu ---"
"Items: Great Dragon Fire Technique Scroll, three steel kunai ---"
"Note: The standard for an ordinary Genin is 100 in both Mental Energy and Physique."
Uchiha Tendō was not surprised by the strength of his Mental Energy; in his previous life, his Mental Energy was already unusual.
Moreover, his Soul was at the age of twenty, coupled with the Awakening of his Sharingan, a slightly higher Mental Energy was very reasonable.
However, the situation with Groudon's Power made him very confused.
"System, why does Groudon's Power show only three percent unlocked?"
"According to System detection, the host's physical quality can only absorb this much power for now."
Uchiha Tendō nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, even with a cheat, the basic physical attributes are very important.
A gentle breeze blew, and faint whiffs of a foul odor entered his nose.
"Hmm? What's that smell?"
Uchiha Tendō looked around in confusion, then immediately found the source of the smell.
"Turns out it's the Impurities removed when Groudon's Power improved my Physique."
Entering the room, after washing up, he didn't bother with anything else.
This afternoon, with the Helping Hand of the Family members, the bodies of Uchiha Tianxiong and his wife had been collected.
Tomorrow would be their burial day.
--- The next day.
Uchiha Tendō woke up early in the morning and attended the funeral of Uchiha Tianxiong and his wife, holding little Akiho.
The funeral was very simple, and not many people came.
Uchiha Tianxiong was merely a Chunin during his lifetime and held no significant status in the Uchiha Family, which valued strength.
"My condolences."
Uchiha Shan patted Uchiha Tendō's shoulder and offered comfort.
The proud Uchiha were not good at comforting people; Uchiha Shan struggled for a long time before managing to utter that single sentence.
Uchiha Tendō's tender face was filled with indifference.
"The deceased are gone; the living must naturally live well with their hopes, living happily and joyfully."
Uchiha Shan's mouth twitched.
Kid, do you even believe what you're saying? Are those not tears at the corner of your mouth, but drool?
He was truly amazed by this kid; clearly heartbroken to the point of death, with tears falling like they were free, yet still able to say encouraging words with a straight face.
Uchiha Shan opened his mouth, finding he didn't know what to say.
Helplessly, he patted Uchiha Tendō's shoulder, then turned and left.
He stood silently before the tombstone for a long time.
Uchiha Tendō, holding little Akiho in his arms, walked towards the Ninja Academy.
