Uchiha Byakuya, Negative Energy System

Konoha 40, the Second Shinobi World War had just ended.

In Konohagakure, within an elegant small courtyard.

As the sun rose, Uchiha Byakuya, already clad in his combat uniform bearing the Uchiha crest and wearing his Konoha forehead protector, emerged.

Simultaneously, with a flicker of his will, a virtual panel, visible only to him, appeared before Uchiha Byakuya's eyes.

That's right, the Uchiha Byakuya before you was a transmigrator.

For some unknown reason, he had transmigrated into the world of Naruto, becoming an orphan of the Uchiha Clan.

At the same time, he possessed a golden finger called the Negative Energy System.

As long as he could make others fall into anger, shame, anxiety, fear, sorrow, jealousy... and other negative emotions, he could gain rewards in the form of Negative Energy, Ninjutsu, and attribute points.

The greater the emotional fluctuation of the target, the more abundant the Negative Energy and rewards he would receive.

Therefore, Byakuya began to collect Negative Energy in the days that followed.

Moreover, Byakuya discovered that as a member of the Uchiha Clan, collecting Negative Energy was incredibly easy.

Although the Uchiha Clan was a prestigious Konoha family, their status seemed quite high.

However, the Hokage and Konoha's higher-ups had always suppressed the Uchiha Clan, constantly finding trouble for them.

It could be said that everyone in Konohagakure was filled with malice towards the Uchiha Clan.

During his time in the Ninja Academy, Byakuya's handsomeness and strength led to others' jealousy, bringing him a large amount of Negative Energy.

After becoming a ninja and awakening his Sharingan, Byakuya attracted countless envious gazes, bringing him a massive amount of Negative Energy.

When he joined the Uchiha Clan's Security Force, maintaining Konoha's stability led him to offend other ninja families, drawing their intense dislike, which also brought Byakuya a large amount of Negative Energy.

It could be said that Byakuya didn't even need to deliberately collect it.

As long as Byakuya appeared, standing on the street, he could feel a surge of Negative Energy.

Relying on this Negative Energy, Byakuya's strength rapidly improved, and he soon possessed quasi-Kage-level strength.

Although with quasi-Kage-level strength, he was considered a top-tier combatant in Konohagakure.

The number of people in the entire Konohagakure stronger than Byakuya could be counted on one hand.

However, Byakuya was very aware that the Third Shinobi World War was imminent.

This level of strength was far from enough.

In the future, there would be the Nine-Tails' Rampage, the Uchiha Massacre, and the Fourth Shinobi World War, where Jonin were as common as dogs and Kage-level shinobi roamed the streets.

Without overwhelming strength, he wouldn't even know how he died.

Therefore, Byakuya now had only one goal: to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

With the power brought by the Mangekyo Sharingan, Byakuya could easily reach the Kage-level.

Of course, while the Mangekyo Sharingan's power was immense, awakening it was incredibly difficult.

For other members of the Uchiha Clan, awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan was extremely challenging.

It required not only talent but also immense emotional stimulation.

However, Byakuya, with his golden finger, was different.

As long as he possessed Negative Energy, Byakuya could awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

To evolve from the Three Tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyo Sharingan required 100,000 Negative Energy.

Byakuya currently possessed 99,000 Negative Energy, and he was on the verge of accumulating 100,000.

The thought of being able to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan soon, and being able to pilot a giant robot, made Byakuya a little excited.

"I hope today, I can encounter more opportunities to accumulate Negative Energy..."

Byakuya thought to himself as he walked out of his small courtyard and headed towards the Security Force building.

Along the way, all the Uchiha ninjas he encountered greeted him with adoring eyes.

The ninja world is a world that worships strength.

This is especially true for the Uchiha Clan.

Despite Bai Ye's young age, he had already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, making him one of the strongest individuals in the entire Uchiha Clan.

"Lord Bai Ye, this is this month's protection money..."

At this moment, an Uchiha ninja approached Bai Ye and presented him with a stack of bills.

Uchiha En, Bai Ye's follower and a Jonin of the Uchiha Clan.

"Mhm... very good..."

"Distribute it according to the allocation plan!..."

Bai Ye said.

"Yes... Thank you, Lord Bai Ye..."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha En quickly divided the money into several portions and handed them out.

Every Uchiha ninja who received money showed an excited expression on their face.

You read that right, the powerful Uchiha Clan ninjas were actually poor.

As for the reason!?

It was very simple.

Did you really think the conflict between Konoha's higher-ups and the Uchiha Clan was just talk!?

Obviously not.

As the Konohagakure Security Force, the Uchiha Clan received no funding.

All expenses for the Security Force were borne by the Uchiha Clan themselves.

In fact, when Bai Ye went to the Hokage's office to ask for money.

Konoha's higher-ups directly stated that the Security Force was entirely managed by the Uchiha Clan, and all expenditures should also be the responsibility of the Uchiha Clan, all for the Will of Fire.

Listen to that, is that something a person would say!?

Bai Ye just laughed at the time.

The Will of Fire!? Can that be eaten!?

A Security Force that maintains the village wasn't even given a salary.

Although the Uchiha Clan was a prestigious clan with ties to the Ninja Cat Clan, they could earn money by selling weapons.

However, this amount of money was clearly a drop in the bucket.

More importantly, the only way for a ninja to earn money was by taking on missions.

Due to the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan, Konoha's higher-ups had long reserved the easy missions with good rewards for their own people.

What was left for the Uchiha Clan were missions with low rewards and high danger.

Faced with such higher-ups in Konoha, Bai Ye decisively initiated the protection money system.

The effects were very significant.

The lives of every member of Bai Ye's squad had greatly improved.

Of course, after collecting protection money, they had to protect these merchants.

Anyone who dared to cause trouble would be dealt with by Bai Ye.

"Lord Bai Ye, I heard some news..."

"The Clan Head might be abdicating soon..."

"..."

After distributing the money, Uchiha En approached Bai Ye again and said in a low voice.
