Konoha Year 25, 9:30 PM.
The sun had long set, but the Hokage Rock was still discernible in the darkness.
The streets were sparse, yet the lingering air still held a festive warmth.
The entire village of Konoha exuded an atmosphere of peace and harmony.
A faint coolness drifted on the breeze.
Uchiha Chen walked silently down the street, alone, dressed in the flashy trench coat characteristic of the Uchiha clan.
As he walked, he quietly pondered his own affairs.
Uchiha Chen had been transmigrated to the world of Naruto for five years now.
Unfortunately, his father had already passed away when he arrived, and his mother had died of sorrow not long after giving birth to him.
Starting with both parents dead, and gear acquired through snatching—that pretty much described his situation.
It took him several months to realize that this was the world of Naruto, where survival was not guaranteed and human lives were cheaper than dogs.
What terrible luck.
The world of Naruto was not a tender and warm place.
Not only did it feature various ninjutsu and massacres, but it had also endured several Great Ninja Wars.
Even more terrifying, if you planned to develop quietly and make it to the late game, you'd be horrified to find that suddenly, Jonin were as common as dogs, and Kage-level ninja were everywhere.
And how many people could truly live peacefully to the later stages?
Without the protagonist's destiny, surviving here was truly dangerous.
Initially, as a transmigrator, Uchiha Chen had harbored the idea of just getting by, content with a modest life.
Just coast along, that's all.
At most, survive until the grand finale.
After all, there were Naruto and Sasuke.
But things never go as planned.
Uchiha Chen had originally intended to learn ninjutsu, drink sake, eat hot pot, and even sing songs, but then reality suddenly robbed him.
Because he discovered his surname was Uchiha.
Just thinking of Itachi, who would be born more than twenty years later, Uchiha Chen now felt an urge to go to the clan leader's house next door and take out Uchiha Fugaku.
Alright, he couldn't beat Fugaku yet.
Even without Itachi's clan massacre, he couldn't just coast by.
Because Uchiha Chen discovered that his deceased father was named Uchiha Kagami.
What a dramatic identity.
Uchiha Kagami was the Second Hokage's disciple.
He was of the same generation as the Third Hokage.
But he only lived to be twenty-five.
Note: twenty-five years old!
The comrades who started out with him were now either village leaders, the very roots of Konoha, or at the very least, two senior advisors.
Yet, Kagami died during a mission shortly before Uchiha Chen was born.
It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on.
More importantly, Uchiha Kagami also had a famous descendant—Uchiha Shisui.
There was a generation gap between Kagami and Shisui, so Shisui couldn't be Kagami's son.
Uchiha Kagami only had one son: Uchiha Chen.
Eliminating all impossible options, then the remaining option, however impossible, must be true.
So this could only mean one bizarre thing: Shisui was Uchiha Chen's son...
What the actual f*ck.
Can you imagine suddenly having a son out of nowhere?
How did it go? Starting with a son, everything else you have to snatch...
And in the manga, Shisui was an orphan.
Doesn't that mean Uchiha Chen would also die young, just like his father, Uchiha Kagami?
The famous Shisui of the Body Flicker also died young.
Three generations all dying young—it would be strange if there wasn't a problem with that.
Perhaps it was bad genes; the Uchiha family's genes were toxic.
It seems this kind of trend is popular these days.
If your background isn't a bit convoluted, you don't dare to come out and mingle.
This won't do.
So, for the past five years, ever since his body allowed it, he began simple taijutsu, shuriken, and hand seal training.
He couldn't be a salted fish.
Even a salted fish must flip over!
This thought had always supported Uchiha Chen.
Fortunately, his father, Uchiha Kagami, had carried out many S-rank missions, leaving him with a considerable sum of money.
Plus, the monthly orphan's relief fund from Konoha allowed him to live a fairly comfortable life.
Thank heavens.
He was very grateful his inheritance hadn't been embezzled by Konoha.
Otherwise, he would have had to drink expired milk every day like Naruto, unable to even afford a bowl of ramen...
Thanks to the Land of Fire, thanks to Konoha, thanks to the Hokage, thanks to the organization...
Of course, although he hadn't studied Tai Chi and wasn't a special forces soldier, he still possessed a transmigrator's essential standard equipment for killing, plundering, and reaching the pinnacle of life—a ninja system.
Unfortunately, this unreliable system only appeared once when he extracted chakra at four years old, and since then, it had never given him any guidance.
This foolish system.
Indeed, am I only destined to be an unlucky person?
Later, through his experiments, he discovered that as long as he trained diligently, he could earn ninja points.
This training included taijutsu, shuriken, and even studying.
For example, after he had just finished his workout, he heard a voice in his ear saying, 'Host diligently ran two hundred laps, Ninja Points +10.'
Although Uchiha Chen didn't know the purpose of ninja points, the system would reveal the answer sooner or later.
Sure enough, a voice suddenly came from his ear.
'Host's points have reached 2000, panel will be activated.'
Uchiha Chen was a bit impatient, immediately speeding up and returning to his home.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
My foolish system.
Uchiha Chen's house was in a relatively secluded part of the Uchiha clan compound.
After his parents passed away, the clan took back the large house they had lived in previously.
He was moved to a rather dilapidated house.
Although the house was old, it was still clean inside.
"I'm home."
Uchiha Chen entered the house and said to the portraits of his parents on the wall.
Although there was no one else in the house, he was still used to doing this.
He quickly closed the door and ran to his bed.
Uchiha Chen silently thought about the panel, and eagerly said, "System, are you there? What are ninja points for? Tell me quickly, I'm in a hurry! Big brother System."
The system displayed text: "Free query mode activated. Host can query anything at will. Through brainwave transmission, Host can operate the system independently."
Suddenly, a virtual interface, similar to a 3D interface, appeared before Uchiha Chen's eyes, visible only to him.
The system interface displayed: Host Uchiha Chen.
