Uchiha Youhu was actually a transmigrator.

On the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, he transmigrated into the Uchiha District, becoming a young Uchiha who had lost both his parents.

Having witnessed the Nine-Tails' world-destroying power with his own eyes, Uchiha Youhu understood the cruelty of the Ninja World. Here, human life was as cheap as grass; even a clan as powerful as the Uchiha would eventually be annihilated by the machinations of moles and powerful enemies.

He was merely an Uchiha with mediocre talent, lacking the ability to change the night of the clan's annihilation.

He could only accumulate as much strength as possible before the massacre, then use the opportunity of going out on a mission to fake his death and escape Konoha. From there, he would marry many wives, have children, and make the Uchiha great once again.

However, if things were to go as expected, an accident occurred anyway.

Just as he had successfully hidden until he awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan and was preparing to escape Konoha with the strength of a Jonin, the Construct System arrived.

The system was called the Lie Come True System.

As long as the lies he fabricated were realistic enough and believed by enough people, he could obtain corresponding Deception Points.

By using Deception Points, he could twist the lies he told into reality. Even rewriting his Sharingan into a Nine Tomoe Rinnegan or changing his Uchiha bloodline into an Otsutsuki bloodline was entirely achievable.

In order to obtain Deception Points, Youhu tried many methods, but the harvest had always been meager.

For instance, he used his Sharingan to hypnotize himself into believing he possessed a Mangekyo, but he only gained one Deception Point as a result.

He deceived a child next door into believing he had a Mangekyo, but that only yielded three Deception Points.

This was because his lies were too clumsy, the scope of their spread was not wide enough, and the people who believed them were not strong enough to reach the threshold of turning a lie into reality.

After deep consideration, Youhu had no choice but to take a risk. Using the idea of Clan Head Fugaku marrying the Third Hokage as a catalyst, he fabricated a "nine truths, one lie" story during a clan meeting regarding the Hokage faction's preference for men.

After all, the ninjas of the Hokage faction were indeed somewhat ambiguous.

Faced with a lie that was nine parts truth and one part fiction, the clan members were predictably half-believing, and he consequently harvested a large amount of Deception Points.

Thinking of this, Youhu rubbed his palms together and called out the system panel in his heart.

[Name: Uchiha Youhu] [Age: 15 years old] [Bloodline: Uchiha Bloodline] [Chakra Quantity: A] [Chakra Nature: Yin, Yang, Fire] [Skills: Uchiha Style Taijutsu, Great Fireball Technique, Three Body Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Sharingan Illusion Technique...] [Kekkei Genkai: Three Tomoe Sharingan]

[Talent: Orator]

[Current Deception Points: 550]

[Current Rewrite Projects: Three Tomoe Sharingan > Mangekyo Sharingan (2400/3000)]

[Overall Strength: Jonin]

Youhu did not hesitate, pouring all his Deception Points into rewriting the Three Tomoe Sharingan. In an instant, a massive surge of cool chakra flooded into his eyes, forcing him to close them involuntarily.

[Three Tomoe Sharingan > Mangekyo Sharingan (2950/3000)]

When he opened his eyes again, Youhu found that the world before him had become much clearer. His ocular power and dynamic vision had also significantly improved. It seemed that even without fully rewriting it into a Mangekyo Sharingan, his Sharingan had still received a boost.

Unfortunately, he was still a little short on Deception Points. If he had just a bit more, he would have been able to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

However, as long as the lies he fabricated about the Hokage faction continued to spread, it wouldn't be long before he possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan.

In the meantime, he also needed to fabricate new lies. It would be best if these lies were related to himself, so he could better utilize the Deception Points to grow stronger.

Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna seemed like good choices; they were powerful and had died early.

He could dig up some interesting historical anecdotes.

Just as Youhu was contemplating how to fabricate a new lie, a black shadow darted out from Naka Shrine and arrived before him in a few blinks.

Youhu turned his head to look. The person who had arrived was furious, holding a dagger in his hand.

It was Tiehuo, a Jonin under Elder Yachiyo. He was an upright man, and they usually had a decent relationship; he was also his superior in the Guard Division.

Even Tiehuo had come to cause trouble for him... Youhu had anticipated that someone would come looking for him, but he hadn't expected it to be him.

"Senior Tiehuo, do you need something from me?"

Tiehuo glared at him, looking at Youhu with the eyes one would reserve for a traitor: "Youhu, you know what you said today. I suspect you want to betray the clan and stand on Shisui's side."

"Why would you say that?" Youhu looked at his senior, deliberately asking in return.

"Youhu, you insulted Clan Head Madara and Clan Head Setsuna today, and even suggested that Captain Fugaku divorce his wife and marry the Third Hokage. If Captain Fugaku actually did that, how would we, the Uchiha, hold our heads high?"

"Become the Hokage's man? We Uchiha don't need to deceive ourselves like that."

"Then do you have any better insights?"

Youhu felt that Tiehuo was a bit naive, and he asked back lightly: "If discussing things at clan meetings all day could make Captain Fugaku the Hokage, I wouldn't have suggested that Captain Fugaku become the Hokage's man."

"Or are you saying, Senior Tiehuo, that your capacity is limited to just this?"

Tiehuo could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He swung the dagger in his hand toward Youhu and roared, "Regardless of anything else, you must apologize to Clan Head Fugaku and retract the remarks you made at the clan meeting!"

"We Uchiha must never suffer such humiliation."

Facing Tiehuo's attack, Youhu naturally could not just sit and wait for death.

He drew the katana at his waist, dodged Tiehuo's slash, and then countered with a side-swipe. The katana turned into an arc of light, flashing past Tiehuo's chest.

Tiehuo raised his sword to block, but the immense force sent him stumbling back over a dozen steps. He looked at Youhu with an expression of disbelief.

Wasn't Youhu only at the strength of a Chunin?

Usually, when working in the Guard Division, he always had such a lazy demeanor. To think he could block his attack and launch such a powerful counterstrike.

This caught Tiehuo completely off guard.

He had come here not only to make Youhu retract his statements but also to protect him.

At most, he would have just taught Youhu a lesson, but if Captain Fugaku or Elder Yachiyo were to handle it, it wouldn't be so simple; there was a high chance Youhu would be stripped of his right to attend the Clan Meeting.

Now, it seemed this junior no longer needed his protection. Between them, only their opposing stances remained.

"Youhu, it seems you have grown quite a bit during this time..."

Thinking of this, three tomoe slowly emerged in Uchiha Tiehuo's eyes, and he continued:

"It is a pity that you have already developed the idea of surrendering to the Hokage Faction, even going so far as to insult our ancestors. To correct your misguided thoughts, I have no choice but to use my full strength."

"Even if I have to break your bones, I will not allow you to betray the clan."

Seeing Tiehuo reveal his Sharingan, the Uchiha bloodline within Youhu began to stir with excitement. When two Uchiha meet, it is almost impossible to convince the other through words; in the end, one must let their strength do the talking.

To ensure the credibility of the lies he would fabricate later, Youhu had to demonstrate his power and seize the right to speak within the clan.

Let it start with the Uchiha Tiehuo before him.
