Cold.
A biting cold pierced into every inch of Uchiha Kaze's skin like needles.
Kaze opened his eyes and found himself lying on a tatami mat, with an unfamiliar wooden ceiling above his head.
Memories flooded in like a tide—no, two streams of memory. One from an ordinary web novelist in the twenty-first century, and the other from this world, a seventeen-year-old boy named Uchiha Kaze.
"I transmigrated?"
After a brief daze, Kaze slowly sat up and looked around.
"Uchiha Kaze..."
Kaze whispered the name, and the memories belonging to this body began to awaken in his mind.
Parents died early, marginalized status within the Uchiha clan, introverted personality, average grades at the Ninja Academy. Since awakening the One Tomoe Sharingan three years ago, there had been no further progress.
As a bottom-feeder worm who frantically typed words for a living, Kaze knew exactly what the situation was.
Isn't this just transmigrating to become fodder for that Uchiha ingrate?
In his memory, Uchiha Itachi had already become a squad leader in the Anbu. The Night of the Clan Extermination was close!
[Ding. Suitable host detected. Completely Crazy System binding complete.]
[Any crazy thoughts and behavior will receive system rewards.]
Host:Uchiha Kaze
Kekkei Genkai:Sharingan (One Tomoe)
Ninjutsu:Katon..., Raiton...
Taijutsu:Konoha Style Taijutsu, Uchiha Style Taijutsu
Genjutsu:Hanakai Goshoku (Flower Sea Mutual Devouring), Naraku no Ana (Abyss Hole)
Beside the system prompt, a pale blue semi-transparent panel appeared.
Kaze, who just a second ago was worried about being kicked to death like a stray dog on the roadside some night, couldn't control the corners of his mouth.
Before the system, I could be submissive.
But...
System... Crazy... Uchiha Extinction...
"It seems my transmigration wasn't to provide an experience boost for the Uchiha ingrate!"
Kaze's laughter was slightly cold, and a glint of chill flashed in his eyes.
Since this world is destined to be crazy, he might as well be even crazier.
The destruction of the Uchiha—let it be rewritten starting with him!
The Night of Extinction is coming. Uchiha Itachi has already joined the Anbu, so...
Uchiha Fugaku should be gathering the clansmen for a meeting today, attempting to ease relations with Konoha.
Kaze recalled the plot of the original work.
Yes, it is today. Fugaku will announce Uchiha Itachi's promotion to Anbu sub-captain at the meeting and try to suppress the radicals within the clan.
A crazy plan formed in his mind.
He needed a bargaining chip, a chip sufficient to shock the entire Uchiha meeting.
Uchiha Sasuke. This name slowly surfaced.
Kaze walked toward the Uchiha Clan Head's residence.
As a marginalized clansman, he shouldn't be in this area, but today, no one would notice him—everyone's attention was on the upcoming meeting.
At this moment, the 5-year-old Uchiha Sasuke was alone in the yard practicing Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique).
[Ding, detected that the host is about to attack Uchiha Sasuke, judged as Crazy.]
[Reward: Mangekyō Sharingan, Chakra 2 Kakashi.]
Mangekyō: Left Eye · Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto—Reflection, Enhanced Genjutsu. Right Eye · Amenoshinra—Space-Time Manipulation.
Before Kaze even made a move, the system's reward arrived.
And this reward... was truly damn powerful!
"Su!"
With a Body Flicker, Kaze appeared in front of Uchiha Sasuke.
"You are..."
"Bang!"
Before Uchiha Sasuke could finish speaking, Kaze delivered a hand chop, knocking him unconscious.
Next, the next one...
Uchiha Meeting Room.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was so heavy water could drip from it.
Uchiha Fugaku stood at the head seat. Below sat the main members of the clan: the radicals represented by Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Tekka, as well as several relatively moderate elders.
"Everyone," Fugaku's voice echoed in the silent meeting room, "I gathered everyone today to announce important news."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"My son, Uchiha Itachi, has been appointed as an Anbu sub-captain."
A commotion broke out in the meeting room.
"That's impossible!"
"The Anbu has always been the Hokage's direct unit. How could they let an Uchiha member serve as a sub-captain?"
Uchiha Yashiro slammed the table and stood up.
Because he was too agitated, his Three Tomoe Sharingan activated.
"This was personally appointed by the Sandaime Hokage."
"This indicates the Konoha higher-ups' trust in the Uchiha. I believe we should take this opportunity to express our goodwill to the village and ease the currently tense relationship," Fugaku said calmly.
"Goodwill?"
"Clan Head, have you forgotten the fact that the Police Force is being ostracized? Forgotten our situation in the village? Express goodwill? Haven't we expressed enough?" Uchiha Tekka sneered.
"Elder Tekka is right."
...
The argument in the meeting room grew increasingly fierce. Fugaku tried to control the situation, but the emotions of the radicals had already been ignited.
Standing beside Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Itachi's face became increasingly grave.
"Bang!"
Just then, the door to the meeting room was violently kicked open.
Uchiha Kaze dragged the bound Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Sasuke and strode into the Uchiha meeting room.
All arguments came to an abrupt halt.
Dozens of eyes looked toward the door in unison, looking at this unknown young clansman, and the hostages in his hands—Uchiha Fugaku's wife and second son.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"Mainly because I prepared some small gifts, which consumed a little bit of time."
Kaze smiled brilliantly, as if he were just attending an ordinary gathering.
"Kaze! What are you doing?!"
A conservative elder shouted in rage.
"Uchiha Kaze, release Lady Mikoto and Sasuke immediately!" Uchiha Yashiro also yelled sternly, his Three Tomoe Sharingan already active.
At this moment, only one thought was in everyone's mind: Has Uchiha Kaze... gone crazy?!
[Ding, Uchiha Yashiro thinks the host is crazy, reward Katon: Kahō Ryōgen (Fire Phoenix Prairie Fire), Chakra 1 Kakashi.]
[Ding, Uchiha Gekka thinks the host is crazy, reward Raiton: Raiton Chakra Nature Transformation.]
[Ding, Uchiha Fugaku thinks the host is crazy, reward Dōryoku (Pupil Power) increased by 100%.]
[Ding, Uchiha Itachi thinks the host is crazy, reward Dōryoku increased by 50%, Katon: Sōenha (Blue Flame Break).]
...
Wonderful sounds rang out in his mind one after another, making the smile on Kaze's lips become even colder and crazier.
"Uchiha Itachi, you should already know about the Uchiha Cleansing Plan, right?"
"You also know about Uchiha Shisui's death, right?"
"Since you have already chosen to betray the Uchiha, then please... go die."
"Of course, you can ignore my suggestion..."
"However, before you make a move, cute Sasuke will inevitably..."
As Kaze spoke, the short sword in his hand was already pressed against Uchiha Sasuke's neck.
The sharp blade merely made light contact, and a trail of blood had already appeared on Sasuke's fragile neck.
