In the night sky, a shooting star like a forgotten silver tear silently tore through the tranquil canopy.
Its tail dragged a long trail of light, like silver thread accidentally spilled by the Weaver Girl of the night, instantly embroidering a dazzling trajectory onto the ink-blue canvas.
A young man on the ground looked up.
The light of the meteor met his gaze, leaving him in a trance.
He had been transmigrated to the Ninja World for over three months, yet he still couldn't accept the fact that he had arrived here because of a dump truck.
Otherwise, his Sharingan wouldn't have evolved directly from two tomoe to three tomoe.
Truly, the Uchiha are born evil!
The most critical point was that it was currently Konoha Year 52, just half a year after the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
In this timeframe, he couldn't run even if he wanted to!
The Uchiha Clan had already been forbidden from leaving the village.
Zhang Fan... or rather, he should be called Uchiha Yan now, couldn't help but sigh.
Was he really just waiting for death?
Great Three Pure Ones, Amitabha, God, Brahma, System, Deep Blue, anyone, please show up, otherwise I really am just waiting to die!
[System initializing...]
Perhaps the gods and buddhas in the sky had truly heard his prayers, as a mechanical prompt suddenly rang in Uchiha Yan's ears.
The voice was clear and indifferent, as if it came from another dimension, or as if it were echoing directly inside his mind.
Immediately after, a light screen slowly unfolded before him.
[Strongest Hokage System] [Main Mission: Become the Hokage, make Konoha great again] [Reward: ???] [Side Mission 1: Become the Uchiha Clan Head] [Reward: Mangekyō Sharingan] [Side Mission 2: Increase reputation in Konoha, be known by at least one hundred thousand people] [Reward: Choose two types of chakra to fuse into a Kekkei Genkai] [...]
Very good, very powerful!
Uchiha Yan looked at the system panel and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.
His name contained two "fire" characters; one represented the Will of Fire, and the other represented the Hokage.
Combined with the system's mission content.
What did this mean...
It meant he was the chosen one, the embodiment of a Hokage!
Who else but him could take the seat of Hokage!
He would storm the Hokage Building right now, drag that old man Sarutobi off the Hokage's seat, and then sit on it himself.
And then... he could just go die, taking the entire Uchiha Clan with him!
He wouldn't even need Itachi; he would do it himself and wipe out his own clan!
"Sigh, what a disaster!"
Uchiha Yan sighed.
In his past life, he was a corporate slave; in this life, he just wanted to live well.
Could they not even grant him such a simple wish?
Just as he was lamenting, a series of footsteps suddenly came from behind, moving from far to near, clearly heading toward him.
"Yan, time is almost up; it's time to attend the clan meeting."
Hearing the familiar voice, Uchiha Yan tilted his head to look at the clansman who had arrived at his side.
"Shisui, why are you here?"
The boy known as Shisui scratched his head and smiled honestly.
"This is your first time attending a clan meeting, and I was worried you wouldn't find the way!"
"You're thoughtful!" Uchiha Yan patted Shisui on the shoulder.
But he quickly fell silent again.
Shisui didn't continue speaking either, just stood to the side, quietly watching the young man in front of him.
He actually knew Uchiha Yan.
Gentle, kind, helpful, and someone who viewed himself as a part of the village.
But for some reason.
Starting three months ago, the other man's personality had undergone a complete three-hundred-sixty-degree shift.
Impatience, panic, and even fear were all displayed on his face without reservation.
When asked, he would only shake his head, unwilling to say anything.
"Yan, what exactly are you thinking about?"
Facing Shisui's repeated questioning, Uchiha Yan shook his head once more.
But this time, he explained the reason.
"I cannot see a future for the Uchiha Clan, nor can I see a future for myself."
"The future?"
A look of confusion appeared on Shisui's face.
In his heart, the future of the Uchiha Clan lay with the Hokage.
As long as they stood firmly on the side of the Hokage, the future would surely be bright.
As far as he knew, Uchiha Yan was a member of the Dove Faction just like him, so he shouldn't be having these kinds of problems.
Yet all these changes had occurred three months ago.
"Yan!" Shisui looked at Uchiha Yan, his expression very serious. "What exactly happened three months ago?"
"You know that our Uchiha Clan can only have a future if we stand on the side of the Hokage; you cannot be like those in the Radical Faction."
Uchiha Yan's mouth twitched.
I was just posturing, why are you starting to lecture me?
Besides, the Uchiha Clan is doomed no matter who they side with, so why bother!
What's the point!
It would be better to join me in storming the Hokage Building; at least we'd die a quick death!
But he certainly couldn't say that out loud.
Uchiha Yan tightened his face and replied with a solemn expression.
"Shisui, things are far more complicated than you imagine. The reason I am so worried is that I have already figured out the stakes involved."
"What exactly have you figured out?" Shisui was becoming anxious.
The broad, smooth path for the Uchiha Clan was right in front of them; how could even Yan be confused now?
Just as he prepared to try and persuade him again.
Uchiha Yan shook his head once more, his gaze fixed on the distance, in the direction of the Hokage Rock.
"Shisui, the fact that you would ask this question only proves that you still don't understand."
With that, he turned and walked toward the Naka Shrine.
"Let's go, the clan meeting is about to start!"
Watching Uchiha Yan's retreating figure, an inexplicable feeling welled up in Shisui's heart.
He didn't understand why the usually kind Yan had suddenly become so silent and profound, as if he were a drowning man desperately searching for a lifeline.
He couldn't help but feel a bit lost himself.
"Yan, do you really believe that our Uchiha Clan has no future?" Shisui couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling slightly as if seeking some kind of affirmation.
Uchiha Yan stopped in his tracks. Without turning back, he sighed softly and said.
"Shisui, the future is something we must create ourselves, isn't it?"
Shisui fell silent; he didn't know how to answer.
Looking at the clansman before him, Shisui felt as if he had never truly understood him.
He was like a fog, impossible to see through.
He could only silently follow in Uchiha Yan's footsteps, his heart filled with doubt and unease.
Yan, what on earth are you trying to do?
The two walked in silence until they reached the Naka Shrine.
The sun had already quietly set, and quite a few members of the Uchiha Clan had already gathered outside the shrine.
Basically, all of them had awakened the Three Tomoe.
After all, the so-called clan meeting was only open to Jonin or those who possessed the Three Tomoe.
In the Uchiha Clan, strength was linked to the level of eye awakening.
The more tomoe one had, the stronger their power and the more comprehensive their combat capabilities.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a saying in the Ninja World that "if you encounter a Three Tomoe Uchiha, you must flee if you are one-on-one."
Therefore, most Jonin within the Uchiha Clan possessed the Three Tomoe.
Those who advanced to Jonin with only a Double Tomoe or even a Single Tomoe were the minority.
