Incredible

Shaking his head to clear away those thoughts, Sasuke created another Shadow Clone and had it continue studying the contents of the scroll.

His original body turned to the last panel. Shenlian!

It was the system's final feature, and the one Sasuke had been looking forward to most. After all, anything connected to "gods" was bound to be extraordinary.

With eager anticipation, Sasuke opened the final panel.

"Impossible..."

"How could this happen..."

"I didn't..."

Just opened the Shenlian panel, Sasuke saw something that sent him spiraling.

[ Mangekyō Sharingan: Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan, Amaterasu, Mirror Counter; can be used for Mangekyō fusion ]

[ Three-Tomoe Sharingan: Uchiha Mikoto's Sharingan; can be used to increase Sharingan ocular power and proficiency ]

[ Kage-level Crystal: Use to gain 5,000 General Proficiency ]

[ Jonin-level Crystal: Use to gain 2,000 General Proficiency ]

[ Wind Release Crystal: Use to gain Wind Release Nature Transformation ]

[ Water Release Crystal: Use to gain Water Release Nature Transformation ]

At the top of the Shenlian panel was a six-pointed star-shaped eye, identical to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke had gained by fusing with Itachi. Beneath it was a grid of inventory slots, forty in all.

What left Sasuke in disbelief were the items stored there—especially Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan and Uchiha Mikoto's Sharingan.

Because of the system, Sasuke had been reincarnated. That made the truth almost impossible to accept: he was the bastard who had desecrated his own parents' remains!

"This is fake. It has to be!"

Staring at the items in the inventory, Sasuke's expression twisted with rage. He shut the Shenlian panel and ran outside.

Overwhelmed by fear, regret, and disbelief, Sasuke's original body lost consciousness. The Shadow Clone studying the Sharingan Genjutsu scroll and the one gathering Uchiha keepsakes both vanished.

When the two clones returned to him, Sasuke, already in a state of turmoil, passed out.

When he opened his eyes again, he remembered the nightmare he had just experienced. Trembling, he opened the Shenlian panel once more.

"So...it wasn't a dream!"

Staring at the items still in his inventory, Sasuke murmured to himself, then staggered into the basement.

Looking at the Uchiha Clan Crest on the wall, Sasuke slowly came to a decision. What was done was done, and there was no way to undo it. He could only accept it in silence.

"Father, Mother, I'll carry your power with me and stand at the pinnacle of the world. I'll make sure the world remembers the Uchiha name!"

After bowing his head three times before the Uchiha Clan Crest, Sasuke's eyes slowly became Three-Tomoe Sharingan, then returned to normal!

He opened the inventory and looked at the four crystals. With a thought, all four disappeared.

The next moment, Sasuke felt his body slowly changing, as if something were taking root and beginning to grow within him.

Sasuke didn't rush. Instead, he waited patiently. Good things took time, and it was better to take this kind of change slowly!

Once the strange sensation faded, Sasuke eagerly opened his panel!

[Host: Sasuke]

[Bloodline: Uchiha]

[Chakra: Chunin]

[Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan]

[Nature Transformations: Fire, Lightning, Wind, Water]

Seeing the changes to his basic panel, Sasuke was taken aback. He had gained two new nature transformations, and even his chakra had increased. It was strange: he'd gained the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, yet his chakra hadn't changed. How odd!

Rather than dwell on why his chakra hadn't increased, Sasuke opened the General Panel. After all, even the tallest tower began on the ground, and a solid foundation mattered most. He had 7,000 proficiency points now, so he'd better focus on improving his strength!

After spending 1,900 General Proficiency to max out his control, Sasuke felt his body grow light and nimble. He wouldn't waste chakra when using ninjutsu anymore, and his chakra control had improved by leaps and bounds!

Realizing his strength had improved by more than a single level, Sasuke looked at Shape Transformation. The fundamentals were often overlooked in the end, but he would be better off taking things one step at a time. That way, when he used his Plot Armor later, he wouldn't have to worry about taking a beating!

Another 1,800 General Proficiency points were deducted. Sasuke felt his body grow scorching hot, then passed out. When he opened his eyes again—

He hurriedly checked the changes in his body and discovered that he could now control his chakra at will!

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

His laughter rang out, impossible to contain. Sasuke was overcome with excitement. He had completely surpassed everyone his age!

Looking at the 3,300 proficiency points left at the bottom of the panel, Sasuke's eyes shifted to the Shadow Clone Technique at the very bottom.

[Shadow Clone Technique: Rank B; 50/500]

Looking at this cheat-like skill, Sasuke thought for a moment, then unhesitatingly spent 450 proficiency points to max it out!

After that, Sasuke closed the panel and began forming Hand Seals.

"Poof!"

A sound rang out, and ten Shadow Clones appeared around Sasuke. They had used up most of his chakra, which left him speechless!

"I really envy Uzumaki Naruto's endless chakra!"

Looking at the Shadow Clones around him, Sasuke shook his head helplessly. He sent one clone to keep sorting through the Uchiha keepsakes. Of the remaining nine, three would refine chakra, three would practice Hand Seals, and the last three would each focus on Kunai Throwing, Uchiha Shurikenjutsu, and Uchiha Kenjutsu.

Sasuke was tempted to work on Genjutsu, too, but since he wouldn't need it at the Ninja Academy, he decided to put it off. He didn't want to expose his Sharingan.

He would become an Uchiha without a Sharingan—at least while he was in Konoha!

While Sasuke was still thinking about how to quickly max out all the ninjutsu on the General Panel, he suddenly realized the room wasn't big enough!

With that in mind, he left the Shadow Clones refining chakra behind and took the rest out into the courtyard to practice throwing shuriken and kunai.

After all, it was only a matter of time before people found out he could use the Shadow Clone Technique. There was no point in deliberately hiding it.

Sure enough, when the Third Hokage saw Sasuke's Shadow Clones through his crystal ball, he was a little surprised but took no action. The Shadow Clone Technique was common as dirt in Konoha; neither Anbu nor Root would care about it!

"Good attitude. I hope you can inherit the Will of Fire. Otherwise...hmph..."

The Shenlian System was terrifying. General Proficiency crystals.
