The Land of Fire, Konohagakure.
Inside an ordinary wooden house in the Uchiha Compound.
"System?"
"Uchiha?"
After staring blankly for a while, Roy couldn't help exclaiming.
Looking at the light-blue, translucent panel before him, Roy became certain of one thing.
He had crossed over into the Naruto world.
He never expected that after working overtime for half a month straight, he would unlock the title of transmigrator.
Host: Uchiha Roy
Ninjutsu: Fire Style: Fireball Explosion, Lightning Style: Lightning Snake Frenzy

Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan [2 Magatama]

Random Quest: Join the Konoha Military Police Force
"A quest?"
Roy looked at the panel before him, his expression turning grave.
Although he'd been a corporate drone in his previous life, he'd also been an anime fan.
He'd naturally watched a hugely popular anime like Naruto.
He might not have known Naruto's story by heart, but he knew most of the major events.
And the Uchiha Clan Massacre was one of the most shocking events of all.
The reason he felt so heavy-hearted was that his current strength... was far too weak.
The Uchiha Clan Downfall Night hadn't been as simple as Uchiha Itachi acting alone.
It was certain that Shimura Danzō and Root had been involved.
Rumor had it that Uchiha Obito had joined them, too.
As for the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was unclear whether he had been involved.
But no matter who was behind it,
Roy would be little more than a sitting duck in front of them.
His predecessor had died after being attacked in Konoha and succumbing to his injuries.
His final memory was of a blurry mask.
Clearly, Root had made the move...
"Ugh..."
Roy ran a hand through his hair, feeling miserable.
Just thinking about something like this gave him a headache.
"Right, the system!"
"System, use the beginner's gift pack!"
He'd been so caught up in figuring out how to survive that he'd forgotten he'd crossed over with a cheat of his own.
As someone from Blue Star, he was no stranger to systems.
He gave the command with a thought.
"Ding! Beginner's gift pack opened."
"Congratulations, host. You've obtained the Mera Mera no Mi abilities [System-Optimized] and 1,000 units of fixed chakra."
When the familiar electronic voice rang out, Roy almost thought he'd misheard.
The Mera Mera no Mi abilities?
Wasn't that the Devil Fruit power of Fire Fist Ace from One Piece?
[Optimized Mera Mera no Mi abilities: Elementalization, fire attacks, not awakened. Note: These abilities consume chakra and have no side effects.]
[Fixed chakra: Extra chakra that slowly regenerates automatically after being used.]
After reading the information about his reward on the panel, the corners of Roy's mouth lifted.
"Let's try it first."
"Elementalization..."
Feeling the special energy within his body, Roy immediately used Elementalization.
Orange-red flames rose from his body, making his whole form seem strange.
However, while he was in his Elementalization state, the flames didn't set the furniture in the room alight.
It seemed they only did that when he attacked...
"Thud!"
Before Roy could think any further, he collapsed to the floor.
"Did I run out of chakra?"
A few minutes later, the weakness in his body slowly faded.
Feeling how his body was doing, Roy spoke helplessly.
He was far too weak right now...
If the system hadn't just rewarded him with 1,000 units of fixed chakra, Elementalization would probably have drained his chakra in seconds.
"It's the 53rd year of Konoha. The Uchiha Clan Downfall Night is less than three years away."
"I have to grow stronger as quickly as I can before then!"
Thinking of this, Roy looked at the quest list.
There was no way he could make enough progress in just over two years by training on his own.
"Join the Konoha Military Police Force?"
With that thought, Roy got up and left the room.
As the Uchiha clan's sole source of power, the Konoha Military Police Force had strict standards for selecting members.
You had to be at least a Special Jōnin to join.
He'd go fill out an application first.
Before long, Roy arrived at the Konoha Military Police Force.
Just like the Uchiha clan, the Konoha Military Police Force had been relocated to the edge of the village after the Nine-Tails Incident.
"Big Brother Nagasawa."
"I'd like to apply to join the Military Police Force!"
After entering the office, Roy went straight to the application window.
"Roy."
"I remember you just passed the Chunin Ninja Exams. You're already looking to join the Military Police Force?"
Uchiha Nagasawa looked at Roy with a kind expression.
The Uchiha only showed their kindness when dealing with their own clan members.
And even then, only a small number of them were like that.
Uchiha Nagasawa was one of the few kindhearted people in the clan.
"As a member of the Uchiha, I naturally want to contribute to the clan as soon as possible!"
Roy gave a casual explanation with an easygoing smile.
"Fill this out. The assessment is tomorrow."
"Whether you make it into the Military Police Force depends on how hard you work."
Uchiha Nagasawa didn't continue chatting. Instead, he took out a form.
After filling it out, Roy returned to his room right away.
Come on, his predecessor had been attacked and left to die from his injuries.
It was obvious that the old bastard Danzō had already been itching to make a move. Wandering around outside wasn't a good idea.
Once back inside, Roy opened the panel again.
In an hour, nearly half of his fixed chakra had recovered.
If he wanted to pass the assessment tomorrow, he had to get familiar with all his abilities today.
At the same time, he had to stay in peak condition.
"Fire Gun!"
Roy raised his hand and released a Fire Gun.
It consumed 50 of his 432 units of fixed chakra.
That meant that at full capacity, he could launch 20 ordinary fire attacks.
As for moves like Fire Fist, they would probably drain his chakra in a single use.
The same went for his other abilities.
Increasing his chakra had become a necessity for Roy.
Then, relying on his memories, Roy sat down on the floor.
He began extracting chakra.
At night, a shadow appeared outside Roy's door.
"Did he survive?"
"Those people promised me..."
The shadow furrowed his brow.
He even began to wonder whether his choice had been the right one.
But when he thought of what lay ahead, he still hesitated.
When that time came, it might not be as simple as just one clan member being put in danger.
Thinking this, the shadow used the Body Flicker Technique and vanished into the night.
