Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Habara’s Family Binding System activated fifteen years after his transmigration and bound him to the deeply divided Uchiha Clan, which faced imminent destruction. Unable to flee without sharing the clan’s fate, he examined the system’s status and new abilities as he considered how to survive.

• Uchiha Habara saw the Family Binding System activate and realized it had bound him to the Uchiha Clan.
• Habara recalled his years developing his Sharingan, his inability to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the approaching danger from Uchiha Itachi.
• Habara abandoned his plan to flee after realizing the system tied his fate to the clan and possibly Konoha.
• The system reported that the Uchiha Clan was severely divided, with prosperity below normal, and urged Habara to unite its members.
• Habara learned that the system offered training methods for flight and lightning-enhanced kunai, plus one use of an ability-enhancing power.

Uchiha Habara chose Glorious Evolution, a skill that could strengthen his Sharingan by collecting Power Fragments from defeated enemies. As he searched for targets, he ran into Uchiha Shisui and decided Shisui was someone he needed to win over.

• Habara selected Glorious Evolution and learned it required 100 Power Fragments, with the amount gained depending on an enemy’s ninja rank.
• Habara realized Konoha Prison might have provided targets but could not join the Military Police Force just to access it, so he decided to capture enemies himself.
• Habara considered targeting Aoi Rokushō, but ruled out pursuing him in Amegakure because it was too dangerous.
• Shisui appeared beside Habara and asked what was troubling him.
• Habara greeted Shisui and thought about their friendship, Shisui’s desire for harmony between the clan and village, and the need to win him over.

Habara questioned Shisui about Uchiha Fugaku’s failure to unite the clan and improve its relationship with Konoha, hoping to make Shisui reconsider the Clan Head’s role. He ended by telling Shisui that he and Habara were the two people who could change the clan.

• Shisui returned from a mission and was pleased to run into Habara, who told him the Uchiha clan’s extremists were likely to gain the upper hand.
• Habara hinted that Shisui and Itachi were passing intelligence to Konoha, and Shisui warned him to speak carefully.
• Habara asked why Fugaku, despite his authority as Clan Head, had not quelled the clan’s internal conflict or repaired its worsening relationship with the village.
• Habara argued that Fugaku could unite the clan and support peace with Konoha, prompting Shisui to reconsider the Clan Head’s inaction.
• Habara declared that he and Shisui were the two people who could change the clan.

Habara tried to persuade Shisui that Uchiha Fugaku’s leadership and Konoha’s distrust both threatened the clan, and that the clan needed to unite and gain influence. Shisui began to waver as Habara argued that a strong Uchiha clan could eventually shape the village, perhaps even produce a Hokage.

• Habara challenged Shisui to consider whether Uchiha Fugaku was responsible for the clan’s worsening relationship with the village, and Shisui admitted he had begun to waver.
• Shisui asked what Habara would do as Clan Head, so Habara led him to an abandoned Training Ground to talk privately.
• Habara argued that the Military Police Force had given the Uchiha a terrible reputation and traced its origins to the Second Hokage’s plan to monitor the clan.
• Habara said the Third Hokage’s circle had continued the Second Hokage’s distrust, which intensified after the Nine-Tails Attack and left the Uchiha isolated.
• Habara urged Shisui to unite the clan, overcome its divisions, and gain enough influence to make Konoha heed its stance.

Habara sent Shisui home after his words made Shisui reconsider the Uchiha clan’s problems, then planned how to remove Uchiha Fugaku and protect himself. Shisui’s initial recognition earned Habara 1000 Points, leaving him eager to guide Shisui further and prepare for the clan’s crisis.

• Habara decided Shisui needed time to rest and sent him home before returning to his own apartment.

Habara and Shisui discussed political demands and platforms while traveling to the Land of Hot Water to hunt a rogue Cloud Hidden shinobi. They found a village massacred by four shinobi, including Toroi, a Cloud Hidden user of Magnet Style, and prepared to attack them.

• Habara explained political demands and guiding platforms to Shisui, who admired his clear thinking and considered how he would lead the clan.
• Habara and Shisui reached the Land of Hot Water border and found the village they were searching for eerily quiet, with a faint scent of blood.

• Habara and Shisui saw that the attackers had killed the village’s residents and confirmed there were four shinobi, led by Toroi, who appeared to possess Magnet Style.

Habara and Shisui ambushed a group of Cloud ninja, with Habara targeting the Magnet Style user Toroi. After Toroi recognized Habara and attacked with controlled weapons, Habara evaded him, but Toroi located his hiding place and destroyed the house with a barrage of square shuriken.

• Habara identified Toroi as a powerful Magnet Style user and told Shisui they would continue with their plan while Shisui prepared to support him.

• Habara discarded his metal weapons, but Toroi attacked him with controlled kunai; Habara escaped the strike using another substitution.
• Toroi summoned square shuriken from a scroll, found Habara's hiding place, and smashed the house with the barrage.

• Toroi attacked Habara's Shadow Clone with magnetized shuriken and Hornet Twin Blades, believing he had the real Habara cornered.

• Habara trapped Toroi in a Sharingan genjutsu and burned him with a fireball, then declared that Toroi would not get the chance to return through Impure World Reincarnation.

• Habara and Shisui gathered the villagers’ and cloud ninja’s corpses and burned them together in a collective burial.
• As they watched the village burn, Shisui asked Habara why there were so many wars.

• Shisui asked Habara how he planned to act after returning to the clan and offered to prepare for his plans against Uchiha Fugaku.
• Habara explained that ordinary Uchiha members, especially those without the Sharingan, formed the clan’s majority and that their obedience granted authority to its leaders.
• Shisui realized that winning the majority’s support could deprive the current leaders of power and give Habara’s side the right to speak.

Habara and Shisui went to a village to find Raiga Kurosuki, but Shisui left to track him after they failed to locate him. Raiga returned just as Habara was alone, and Habara attacked him, declaring that he had come to take his life.

• Habara told Raiga he had already lost and began a Fire Dragon Technique while Raiga struggled against the wires.

• Habara and Shisui took Raiga’s two Ninja Swords and began their return journey to Konoha.
