At home.

Naruto was reading.

To be precise, he was reading history.

A convenient way to understand a strange world was to read history books.

"Chaos, too much chaos."

This was Naruto's only feeling after reading the book.

The world of the Hokage had five great nations alone, with even more smaller ones.

The great nations were in constant war for profit, while the smaller nations were either the beneficiaries or the victims.

It had only been a little over 50 years since the First Hokage established Konoha, and three world wars had already broken out, with countless smaller wars and conflicts in between.

This land was comparable to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period of seven nations vying for power. How could it be described with just the word "chaos"?

"Is the First Hokage really a bit messed up?"

Seeing the history of Konoha's founding, Naruto felt deeply confused, his mind full of question marks.

Perhaps the First Hokage's vision and understanding were limited. When he established Konoha and was invincible, he didn't think about unifying the ninja world, but rather about enfeoffing the Tailed Beasts to maintain the balance of power among the villages.

This... was hard to understand.

Qin Shi Huang would have wanted to use his six-foot sword to tap that incomprehensible head.

Perhaps it was due to the excessive warfare and casualties from the previous Warring States period? That made the First Hokage desperately desire peace?

Possible.

But if such a good opportunity was missed, it would likely lead to more turmoil in the future.

The subsequent developments proved this to be true. Not long after the First Hokage's death, the First Ninja World War broke out, followed by the Second and Third Ninja World Wars.

Naruto knew that the most recent war had ended only a few years ago, a conflict between Konoha, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Earth.

War was something Naruto found unfamiliar.

In his past life, he had lived in a peaceful country. Although there were wars in the world, they were too far away from him.

In this life, he had been trained as a warrior since he was 6 years old, as if he were constantly preparing for future wars.

Thinking of this, Naruto began to reflect on himself daily:

Was he invincible?

Was he immortal?

Would he not die?

Although he was only 6 years old, Naruto had to start thinking about such difficult questions.

"Not yet, Naruto. You definitely can't beat the First Hokage."

A moment of recollection, the Nine-Tails continued, "Even though he was my enemy, I have to admit that the First Hokage was a very strong man, like a god."

"How did Wood Release come into being?"

Recalling the First Hokage's unique Wood Release, Naruto was very curious. It seemed that Wood Release was also the origin of the name Konohagakure.

To this, the Nine-Tails replied that it truly didn't know.

It didn't know much about human things.

'Is it a fusion of two natures?' Naruto was very confused. Perhaps he could try it during his future training.

In the path of cultivation, he had always been exploring and advancing alone, without any teacher to guide him. This led to his lack of common knowledge.

Take his strength, for example.

Naruto had always thought that even with SSSSSS-Rank Talent, he was only 6 years old. Even though he felt very strong, his strength was at most at the Chunin or Jonin level.

But the Nine-Tails suddenly told him that he already had Kage-level strength, and his Fire Release was even comparable to Uchiha Madara's.

Naruto was quite surprised.

"What about Uchiha Madara?" Naruto asked again about the First Hokage's lifelong rival.

"Perhaps you can't beat him either," the Nine-Tails recalled. "Although your Fire Release is stronger than his, his greatest strength wasn't Fire Release, but those eyes."

"What eyes?"

Naruto was extremely surprised. What kind of eyes could have such an effect, even stronger than his Fire Release?

"Mangekyo Sharingan. Those eyes possess soul-stirring pupil power and god-like abilities."

'Mangekyo Sharingan.' From that name, what could one possibly understand?

He did know what Sharingan was.

And then add Mangekyo.

Was it some kind of cool evolution of the Sharingan?

"That's right, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, unique to the Uchiha clan, can awaken the Mangekyo after evolving."

"I see," Naruto understood a little.

The Mangekyo was a further evolution of the Sharingan.

And Uchiha Madara was able to contend with the First Hokage with just such a pair of Mangekyo eyes.

It seemed this Mangekyo was quite powerful.

Just with a pair of eyes, he could rival the First Hokage's Wood Release?

'Do these eyes have any special abilities?' Naruto became curious.

"Since that's the case, then continue training. You're not allowed to leave the mountain until you're invincible."

Hearing this, the Nine-Tails was quite speechless. It said, "Naruto, you're being a bit too cautious."

"Not cautious at all. I'm only 6 years old, what's the rush?"

Naruto thought as he said it.

People always unconsciously modified their surroundings to make them more suitable for their survival.

Naruto was no different.

Since he had transmigrated, this world was his place to live. Therefore, for the sake of having a good mood in the future, reforming the ninja world was imperative.

As for how to reform it? He currently only had a general idea.

Without investigation, there was no right to speak.

Naruto knew too little about the ninja world. He planned to understand the ninja world first before making any plans.

No need to rush, no need to strive for immediate success.

After all, he was only 6 years old, and his childhood hadn't even begun.

At least, he would act after he became an adult.

Naruto planned to be 18... no, 16.

Once he was around 16 and had developed sufficiently, he would start changing the world.

Until then, he would enjoy this peaceful and happy childhood.

The next morning.

Naruto woke up early but wasn't in a hurry to go to school. It was still early.

He was staring blankly at the bloodline interface in the Shop.

There was an item on it.

Name: Uchiha Bloodline.

Should he buy something like this?

Naruto was a little confused about this question.

Mainly because of the exemplary role of Uchiha Madara, and the protagonist in his class, Uchiha Sasuke.

Before, Naruto only knew that someone called 'Shisui gay' was probably the protagonist, but he didn't know his surname.

Now he knew.

Full name: Uchiha Sasuke.

With the powerful Uchiha Madara before him and the future protagonist Uchiha Sasuke behind him.

Naruto could even occasionally hear the names of the genius Itachi Uchiha and Shisui the Body Flicker.

"The Uchiha clan truly produces geniuses," Naruto sighed sincerely, thinking of these two famous geniuses currently alive.

With his SSSSSS-Rank Talent, he naturally wasn't afraid of these geniuses. However, what Naruto was wary of was that he was completely ignorant of things like the 'Mangekyo Sharingan.'

What was terrifying wasn't the Mangekyo Sharingan itself, but the unknown.

Unknown meant no information whatsoever, unknown meant no contingency plan and no way to deal with it.

Naruto had considered searching the Shop and Skill House to see if he could find any clues.

But the setting of this trash game was that without the corresponding attribute/bloodline, the corresponding product module would not appear.

This meant that if Naruto only had Wind Release chakra, then only Wind Release ninjutsu, and non-elemental Genjutsu, etc., would appear in the Skill House. Jutsu of other chakra natures would not appear.

Therefore, Naruto had to take a risk and personally experience this ability.

Purchase the Uchiha Bloodline.

[You have purchased the Uchiha Bloodline. You will receive the following bonuses:

1. Genjutsu Effect x200% 2. Mental Strength +30 points 3. Nerve Reflex Growth Speed x200% 4. Jutsu Comprehension Cap Unlocked to 120 points]

5. After unlocking the Mangekyo, your maximum mental strength will be unlocked to 120 points.

[Sharingan: 0/500 (To be unlocked)]

[Detected that you possess SSSSSS-Rank Talent, Sharingan skill +3600.]

[Sharingan: 3600/5000 (Two Tomoe)]

Naruto hurriedly ran to the mirror, only to see a pair of extremely strange pupils.

The sapphire blue eyes in his double pupils had disappeared, replaced by a pair of red and white eyes. Beneath the red base, the black pupils were surrounded by a circle of thin black lines. At this moment, two tomoe on the thin lines were slowly rotating around the pupils.

"So this is the Sharingan? It's surprisingly beautiful."

The contract was signed too quickly; I wanted to let everyone get on board, but it was over in a flash. I'll give you advance notice next time.
