"Is this my limit!"

"Although my physical constitution will allow for some chakra growth in the future, perhaps even approaching the Kage level, the gap between me and those true geniuses is still far too vast!"

A young man wearing a black T-shirt with the Uchiha crest lay on the ground, gasping for air, his body drenched in sweat.

At this moment, a profound sense of loss welled up in his heart.

Uchiha Tamaharu had been in this world for twenty years since arriving from Earth.

Knowing full well how dangerous this world was, he had lived with extreme caution, never revealing his uniqueness and never waiting for the system he had hoped for.

Thus, he had trained with immense effort, desperate to possess the power to protect himself.

Yet, despite all his long years of hard work, he discovered that he was still a significant distance away from the true geniuses; he had already been surpassed by Uchiha Shisui.

However, the night of the clan's annihilation was drawing near, and he had no time left to wait.

He wanted to save the Uchiha!

He had no interest in trying to persuade the brain-dead higher-ups of Konoha; only absolute power could salvage this situation, but as it stood, he clearly lacked such talent.

In that case, the only option was to find a way to gather the strength of the entire Uchiha clan to face this looming danger.

"Ding!"

"Dungeon System activated!"

"[Chaotic World] Please establish a foothold in the world of One Piece, become a great pirate [Bounty of 500 million], or become one of the Shichibukai. Time limit: three months. Mission reward: Bloodline Awakening."

Just as Uchiha Tamaharu was preparing to get up and find the current cowardly clan leader, Fugaku Uchiha, to make things clear, the voice that echoed in his mind caused his body to freeze instantly.

"Hahaha!"

Once he understood the situation, Uchiha Tamaharu laughed without hesitation.

The sound startled the birds in the forest, causing them to squawk and flutter in the air, wondering who was making such a racket in the evening instead of resting.

"A real world!"

"It won't be erased; unlike the Infinite World, this is a stable world!"

Uchiha Tamaharu immediately used the system's ability to enter the dungeon.

This dungeon could be entered and exited at any time; it wasn't a place where one had to complete a mission just to leave.

At the same time, Uchiha Tamaharu confirmed that he could bring people in without limit, provided they could pass through the two-meter-diameter vortex portal to reach the Grand Line.

"There's no time left, let's lay our cards on the table."

"Rather than letting the Uchiha wither away in Konoha, it would be better to make a name for ourselves across the seas in another world!"

Uchiha Tamaharu made his decision.

That very night, he sought out Fugaku Uchiha and Uchiha Shisui.

One was the man who could decide the future of the Uchiha, and the other was the mole who could prevent this matter from being exposed to Konoha!

They met at the Uchiha Ancestral Hall.

"What is this important matter, Tamaharu?"

"The situation with Shisui is very complicated. If it's truly troublesome, it's better to tell me directly."

Fugaku Uchiha sat cross-legged on the tatami, speaking to Uchiha Tamaharu with a serious expression.

Although Uchiha Tamaharu considered himself inadequate, he was still one of the top powerhouses among the current Uchiha.

If Uchiha Shisui hadn't suddenly emerged, Uchiha Tamaharu would likely have held the title of the Uchiha's greatest genius.

"It concerns the future of the Uchiha. Shisui must be present."

Uchiha Tamaharu looked at Fugaku and said very earnestly.

He wanted to relocate the Uchiha to the Grand Line.

Once freed from the shackles of Konoha, the Uchiha clan's strength would allow them to thrive on the high seas; there would be no need to suffer such indignities.

Although there were risks, it was still better than staying in a place like Konoha and waiting for annihilation.

To complete this safely, both Fugaku Uchiha and Uchiha Shisui were indispensable.

"Since you've said as much, very well!"

Seeing this, Fugaku Uchiha settled his mind.

He wondered what this young man was planning to do.

For a moment, he felt restless; after all, during this period, it was almost visibly apparent that the Uchiha were being ostracized by the village.

The conflict had intensified ever since the Nine-Tails Incident.

Although he had made concessions several times, the Konoha side only pushed further, and the rumors grew more rampant. Konoha did nothing to stop them, and members of the Military Police Force could hear the villagers openly pointing and cursing at them as they walked down the street.

It had reached a point where it could no longer be tolerated!

Before Fugaku Uchiha could figure out what was going on, Shisui finally appeared.

"Clan leader, Tamaharu-nii!"

After Shisui entered, he couldn't help but feel surprised to find that there were only three people in total, including himself.

After all, at the very least, every clan member at the jonin level would attend meetings, but this time there were only the three of them, which made him wonder what exactly they were here to discuss.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance in his heart, as he knew exactly what he was doing.

Itachi was a double agent, but he was not; he was wholeheartedly thinking of Konoha, though his ultimate goal was to achieve coexistence between the Uchiha and Konoha.

"Everyone is here, Tamaharu, you can speak now."

Fugaku said this to Tamaharu, who was scribbling on the side, looking as if he were drawing some kind of map.

He had taken a look just a moment ago, but he couldn't understand what it was at all; those place names were unheard of and were definitely not locations within the ninja world.

Therefore, he didn't ask any further questions, choosing instead to wait until Shisui arrived.

"The conflict between the Uchiha and the village can no longer be reconciled."

"Unless the current generation of Konoha's high-level leadership is completely replaced, or someone from the Uchiha ascends to the position of Hokage, Konoha and the Uchiha cannot coexist. One side must disappear, just like the Senju clan."

"And the one to disappear will certainly be the Uchiha clan, so the time has come when we must make a change!"

"I am going to lead the Uchiha to flee Konoha!"

Uchiha Tamaharu did not hesitate, nor did he exaggerate the facts.

He simply laid everything out directly before the two of them, telling them exactly what their current situation was.

Do not hold any hope for those high-level officials in Konoha; that was nothing more than a slow death!

At the same time, he stated directly what he intended to do.

Uchiha Tamaharu's words caused the scene to fall into instant silence.

Shisui's pupils contracted violently.

He didn't know if the clan leader and Brother Tamaharu had guessed that he was working for Konoha's side.

Meanwhile, Fugaku was thinking about whether the situation had truly reached such a dead end that they were forced to find a way to flee Konoha.

New book, asking for everything!
