Yugao's thoughts gradually calmed down. The more she thought about it, the more she realized—this man must still care about her, at least a little.
If there was still love, then perhaps it wasn't impossible for them to truly be together.
After all, so much had already happened between them, and more importantly—they now had a child.
She shook away her distracting thoughts. Even if she herself didn't care about his money, their child would need it. Yugao wanted her son to have the best she could give, not just food and clothes to get by.
If there was financial support, she wouldn't need to exhaust herself working outside. She could stay home and properly raise her son.
After all, this was his child too. Even if she didn't want to admit it, there was no escaping that fact.
In the end, she slowly convinced herself to accept his financial support.
A few days later, at the Konoha Orphanage, Nonō Yakushi gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
Naturally, Ryosuke was overjoyed—because this meant another Precious Treasure Chest from his system.
He had already named Yugao's child Uchiha Itsuki ("Five-wood"), though he hadn't dared to tell her yet. Yugao would probably explode if she heard it… but Ryosuke was determined. He'd explain it to her one day.
As for Nonō's newborn son, he was named Uchiha Muromi ("Six-wood").
Nonō, cradling her baby, couldn't stop smiling. "So… his name is Uchiha Muromi. My son."
She had never thought she would one day become a mother.
Her own life had been tragic from the start—an orphan, recruited by Danzō into Root as a child. She had lived a life of shadows, missions, espionage, assassination, and the constant risk of death.
She had been blackmailed by Danzō, manipulated into carrying out dangerous spy work across villages. Survival itself had been a miracle. A Root agent caught on a mission was as good as dead.
Only thanks to Ryosuke killing Danzō had she finally gained her freedom.
Now, not only had Ryosuke supported her in running the orphanage and caring for abandoned children… he had even given her the chance to become a mother.
It truly felt like destiny had finally granted her a blessing.
Looking down at the baby in her arms, she silently prayed—grow up strong, my son.
Meanwhile, Ryosuke focused on his system's inventory.
"System, open the Treasure Chest."
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining +10 Chakra Points.
Ryosuke chuckled. "Not a Sealing Vessel this time? Even better."
Chakra was the foundation of all shinobi power. Low chakra meant even powerful jutsu would be weak. He couldn't help but think of the difference between Senju Hashirama's Wood Release—capable of conquering nations—and Yamato's, which could barely plant trees.
Even taijutsu techniques like the Eight Gates depended on chakra. More chakra meant more explosive strength.
Not long after, Tsunade and Shizune both gave birth—Tsunade to a son, Shizune to a daughter.
This netted Ryosuke one Gorgeous Treasure Chest and one more Precious Treasure Chest.
From the Precious Chest, he received +10 to all attributes. His body grew noticeably sturdier, his senses sharpened, and even his spiritual energy strengthened.
Physical power could be trained, but spiritual power was much harder to develop. This was a priceless reward.
From the Gorgeous Chest, he obtained the Complete Knowledge of Advanced Sealing Techniques.
Instantly, countless sealing formulas and arrays flowed into his mind, giving him the potential to become a sealing master. All he had to do was digest and apply the knowledge.
With this, Ryosuke no longer needed to research with Orochimaru about extracting Tailed Beeeasts.
In the original timeline, pulling a Beeijū from its host meant certain death for the jinchūriki—like Kushina, who survived only briefly through sheer vitality and willpower, or Gaara, who outright died after Shukaku was taken.
Ryosuke had no desire to kill the jinchūriki just to obtain the Tailed Beeeasts. Some of them, like Yugito (Two-Tails) and even Naruto (Nine-Tails), he simply didn't want to harm.
Beeesides, having Yugito remain a jinchūriki was valuable—her power was what made her an elite at Kage level.
Still, children born from jinchūriki were the ones who gave him access to the Gorgeous Treasure Chests. From those came truly heaven-defying rewards. His luck had even granted him a Mangekyō Sharingan once.
This new sealing mastery meant he could now safely extract Beeijū without killing their hosts, while his collection of Sealing Vessels ensured they could be properly contained.
He was starting to think it was time to begin hunting down the remaining Tailed Beeeasts—before Akatsuki could act.
Meanwhile, Tsunade sat in quiet wonder as she held her newborn son.
Never in her life had she thought she would become a mother. For years, she had been the last of the Senju bloodline, resigned to let her clan's legacy vanish with her.
Beeut now, she was holding a child of her own blood. A child who carried the Senju name and heritage.
The Uchiha Clan flourished with Ryosuke's many children. Beeut if Uchiha could thrive, then surely the Senju deserved to rise again.
If the Senju Clan was to be revived, this boy had to bear the name Senju—not Uchiha.
She made her decision and approached Ryosuke.
"Ryosuke, I need to talk to you about something important."
Ryosuke smiled. "Perfect timing. I was just about to bring something up too. Our children are here—it's time to name them."
He declared confidently:
"Tsunade's son will be Uchiha Nanaki ("Seven-wood"). Shizune's daughter will be Uchiha Yatsuki (Eight-wood)."
Shizune, holding her baby girl, whispered the name over and over—Uchiha Yatsuki…
Then she sighed. "Ryosuke… doesn't this name sound a little… plain? And for a girl too, 'Yatsuki' feels unfitting."
Ryosuke waved her off. "It's fine. Tsunade's is Seven, yours is Eight. That's all there is to it."
