"What's wrong with me? Why can't I open my eyes?" The newly awakened Ye Chen was deeply puzzled, then realized he was utterly exhausted and couldn't muster any strength.

"Huh? Someone's talking, but why can't I understand a single word? Where is this place?" Suddenly Ye Chen thought, "Wait, I was in my own room watching Naruto, and it seemed like a ghost suddenly appeared, then I passed out. Could I have been killed by that ghost? Am I in the underworld now?" This terrified Ye Chen! He struggled with all his might and finally opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, Ye Chen was startled again. Because he saw a hand—a very large, very white hand—reaching toward him. "What kind of ghost is this? What do you want?" Ye Chen flailed and screamed in fear, but all that came out were wailing cries. However, that big hand didn't do anything to him; it just gently stroked his head. "Why has my voice turned into this?" Ye Chen suddenly saw his own hand flailing about and froze.

"Is this my hand? What's going on? Why is my hand so small? It's like a baby's hand. Wait, a baby? I've turned into a baby? Damn it! Could this not be the underworld, but instead I died from that ghost and transmigrated?" Ye Chen thought, a mix of panic and excitement.

"This is fine too. After all, I had nothing worth holding onto. The only pity is that I didn't get to finish watching Naruto and One Piece. Let me first see where I've transmigrated to. I really hope it's into the world of Naruto or One Piece."

At that moment, Ye Chen followed the big hand on his head and looked to the side. He saw a very delicate-looking woman, her face brimming with a happy smile as she looked at him, saying something to him, but he didn't understand a word.

"Is this my mother in this life? What language is she speaking? It sounds like Japanese. No way, did I transmigrate to Japan? Damn it!"

"Mother." At that moment, Uchiha Itachi had entered the room. "It's Itachi. Come here, come see your little brothers. They're so cute." Uchiha Mikoto said to Itachi. "Yes, Mother." Itachi walked over excitedly. "Hehe, Itachi is a big brother now. You have to protect your little brothers from now on." Mikoto gently stroked Itachi's head and said tenderly.

Little brothers—he had little brothers for the first time! Itachi looked at the two identical babies on the bed, and a sense of responsibility filled his chest. I'm the big brother. I have to protect my little brothers, Itachi resolved.

"Mikoto, how are you?" Uchiha Fugaku also entered the room, asking Mikoto on the bed with concern. "I'm fine, Fugaku. Come quickly and see our children." Mikoto said to Uchiha Fugaku with a smile.

The medical ninja in the room bowed to the entering Uchiha Fugaku. "Clan Head." "Mm, thank you for your hard work!" "You're too kind, Clan Head! It's our duty!" They then tactfully withdrew.

"Come see our children. They're very cute." "You've worked hard, Mikoto." Uchiha Fugaku said to Uchiha Mikoto, his eyes full of affection. "It's nothing. I'm very happy." Mikoto said to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Hehe, this little one is spirited, crying so loudly!" Fugaku looked at the baby on the bed who was crying fiercely. Then he looked at Ye Chen. "Huh, why is this little one so quiet? No crying, no fussing! Could something be wrong?" "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say that about your own child?"

Uchiha Mikoto scolded Uchiha Fugaku with a playful smile. "Let's give the children names. What should we call them?" "Right, we need names. Let me think." Uchiha Fugaku frowned in thought.

"I've got it. This one who cries loudly, let's call him Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke. And this one who doesn't cry or fuss, let's call him Chen. Uchiha Chen." "Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Chen. Sasuke, Chen. Good, we'll call them Sasuke and Chen." Mikoto repeated the names, clearly liking them.

"Sasuke, Chen? I will definitely protect you, even if it costs me everything." Itachi looked at the two little ones on the bed, his gaze firm as he thought to himself.

At that moment, an Uchiha clan member came to the door to deliver a message. "Clan Head, the Third Hokage has arrived." "The Third? I understand. I'll go right away." Uchiha Fugaku replied. "The Third Hokage is here?" "Mm, probably here to offer congratulations. I'll go check first." "Mm, go ahead."

Afterward, the news that the Uchiha Clan Head had added a pair of twins spread throughout Konoha. Various clans and some well-known and high-ranking ninjas came to offer congratulations. Although many people disliked the Uchiha clan, they still had to keep up appearances. After all, at this time, the Uchiha were still Konoha's premier clan, wielding great influence.

In a certain secret base in Konoha, inside a dim hall, a somewhat older man in a kimono sat behind the only desk in the hall, reading intelligence in his hand.

In front of the desk, a group of masked ninjas knelt on one knee. It was clear that the man in the kimono was the leader of those ninjas.

If anyone had watched Naruto, they would surely guess where this was. That's right, this was a very secretive department in KonohaRoot, the root buried in darkness. And the man in the kimono sitting behind the desk was the leader of Root, Shimura Danzō.

"Hmph, the Uchiha? Let them have their fun for a few more days. You may withdraw." The last sentence was directed at the ninjas in front. "Yes, sir." The kneeling ninjas replied in unison. Then, using the Body Flicker Technique, with a "Shwoosh!" sound, they all vanished.

"No matter what, I will have the Sharingan."

The members of the Uchiha clan were immersed in joy at that time, because their clan head had added another pair of twins. During this period, both Uchiha clan members and Konoha civilians were discussing the twins. In their eyes, these two children would surely become geniuses in the future.

After all, they were the children of the Uchiha Clan Head. Uchiha Itachi, the first son of the Uchiha Clan Head, was the best proof.

Itachi was young, but he was recognized as a genius by Konoha. He represented the Uchiha, so in the eyes of Konoha civilians, the Uchiha were synonymous with genius. This pleased the Uchiha clan members and was also what led many of them to develop arrogant, conceited, and overbearing personalities.

However, later, three months after Uchiha Chen was born, a disaster struck Konoha, and Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Chen faded from public attention.

That disaster was—the Nine-Tails! The sealed Nine-Tails was somehow released, rampaging and destroying Konoha, causing heavy casualties among Konoha's ninjas.

In the end, the young Fourth Hokage sacrificed his own life, using a forbidden technique to reseal the Nine-Tails into a newborn Naruto Uzumaki. With no suitable candidate for Hokage at the time, the Third Hokage, who had already retired, had to take up the mantle again.

Afterward, Konoha began rebuilding the village destroyed by the Nine-Tails. Naruto, brought back by the Third Hokage from that disaster, was regarded by Konoha's people as the incarnation of the Nine-Tails and resented by them. However, due to the Third's gag order, people could only discuss it in private.

After that, no major incidents occurred in Konoha, and six years passed peacefully.

"Ninety-six... ninety-seven... ninety-eight..." In the Uchiha compound, a small boy with long black hair, wearing a tight-fitting outfit, looking only five or six years old, was struggling to do push-ups. Sweat dripped down his cheeks to the ground, wetting a patch, and his muscles were taut.

For his young age, it was impressive that he could do this. His trembling hands showed he had reached his limit, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. "Nine...ty-nine, one... hundred."

Finally, after doing two more push-ups, the boy could no longer hold on. His body collapsed onto the ground as he gasped for air. His arms were sore and numb, and he didn't want to move a single finger.

"Six years. I've been in this world for six years." The boy turned over with effort and murmured to himself. "I never thought this world would be the Naruto world I loved most in my past life. And I, Ye Chen, actually got to transmigrate one day, haha!"

That's right, this boy was Ye Chen, born six years ago. Over these six years, Chen had finally figured out that the world he was in was the world of a very popular anime from his past life—Naruto. Of course, he had also learned the language of this world. His name in this world was Uchiha Chen, and his identity was the son of Uchiha Clan Head Uchiha Fugaku, the twin brother of Uchiha Sasuke.

"Uchiha Chen. There's no such character in the original story. I've been reborn into this tragic Uchiha clan." "But that's fine. In my past life, I lived aimlessly, wasting so much youth. Since heaven has sent me to this world, I'll seize this opportunity and live as I please."

"In this world full of talented people and countless powerful beings, if I want to live as I please, I need enough strength. The Uchiha's Kekkei Genkai is a good choice."

Having watched the original story, Chen knew that in this world of bloodlines and backgrounds, the Uchiha's Kekkei Genkai was indeed the most suitable.
