Uchiha Isho

"Ah!"

Squelch!

"Who... are you!?"

Screams echoed in Su Xiang's ears. Confused by the situation, he opened his eyes slightly.

In an instant, he felt as if a sharp sword had pierced his heart; a stinging pain surged through his chest like a tidal wave.

His nose twitched, as if he had caught the scent of death. The thick, metallic smell of blood sent a jolt of horror through his heart.

Why is it so noisy here? I should be in the hospital, right? I remember checking the electrical wires, and then I think I got electrocuted. Su Xiang was filled with confusion.

His fingers trembled slightly before he realized his entire body was devoid of strength. He moved his gaze with great difficulty, only to find that everything around him was pitch black.

The cold sensation against his back made Su Xiang realize he must be lying on the floor somewhere.

[Ding! Host detected. Naruto Fusion System binding initiated...]

[Binding successful. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Newbie Gift Pack!]

[Ding! Host's heart detected to be severely damaged. System providing one free treatment.]

As the voice faded, Su Xiang felt a warm current surge into his limbs, continuously converging toward his heart.

"Ugh... this feeling... it's so comfortable!"

Su Xiang wore an expression of pure enjoyment and couldn't help but whisper. Gradually, his eyes grew hazy, and his eyelids drooped uncontrollably.

Then, a wave of drowsiness crashed over him like a tide. He could no longer resist it; as if hypnotized, he drifted into a deep sleep.

In another room, Uchiha Fugaku said calmly:

"Itachi, promise me one last thing. I entrust Sasuke to you. Don't be afraid; this is the path you have chosen. Compared to you, our pain will only last for a moment..."

Itachi, standing to the side, had never expected his parents to make such a choice. Hot tears slid down his cheeks uncontrollably.

His heart struggled violently, and the hand gripping the hilt of his blade trembled like a withered leaf in the wind.

A moment later, Uchiha Itachi calmed his emotions, put his mask back on, jumped onto a rooftop, and met Uchiha Obito, who wore a tiger-striped mask.

The two exchanged a few brief words before departing in different directions.

About half a cup of tea's time later, a group of Konoha Anbu wearing fox and cat-like masks arrived in a hurry.

The Uchiha Compound was now like a silent graveyard. Several mangled corpses lay scattered across the corridors and open ground, as if recounting the brutal battle that had just taken place.

On the windows of several houses, blood slid down like teardrops, dripping onto the cold ground and blooming into shocking flowers of blood.

Seeing this, the Anbu members all paused slightly. If one were to remove their masks at this moment, one would see shock, confusion, and disbelief on their faces—but never sorrow.

"Your squad, surround this area. The rest follow me," the leader said in a deep voice, being the first to regain his composure.

After one squad had surrounded the perimeter, the leader pointed to another man: "You, go report to the Hokage."

With that, he led the others cautiously into the Uchiha Compound.

After a brief search, finding no further danger, the Anbu personnel neatly arranged the corpses of the Uchiha clan in a large open space.

At this moment, an elderly man with a pipe in his mouth and a hat inscribed with the character "Fire" suddenly appeared on a rooftop.

He then body-flickered onto the open ground. In the few seconds he took to arrive, not a single person present had noticed him.

"What is the situation on-site?" he asked first.

The Anbu members were all startled. Upon seeing who had asked, they bowed in unison: "Hokage-sama."

"Hokage-sama, everyone in the Uchiha clan has been confirmed dead, save for two youths. One of those two is in critical condition."

The lead Anbu member looked at the Hokage and immediately reported the information gathered.

The Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, took the pipe from his mouth and sighed: "Send them to the Medical Corps for full treatment. As for the others..."

He paused slightly, sighed again, and said, "Find a place and give them a proper burial."

Meanwhile, in a dark alley, Uchiha Itachi whispered toward a corner:

"If you lay a hand on Sasuke, I will sell all of Konoha's intelligence to other ninja villages, and I will definitely... kill you." As he finished, his body dissolved into a murder of crows and scattered.

A few seconds later, an old man with his right eye and right arm wrapped in white bandages stepped out from the corner. His gaze was cunning and profound; it was the Darkness of the Shinobi World—Shimura Danzō.

He glanced at the spot where Itachi had vanished and said in a deep voice: "Mangekyō Sharingan... The Uchiha clan is truly detestable. And those eyes, cursed by evil, hmph!"

If Su Xiang had heard these words, he likely would have been unable to resist slapping Danzō across the face and cursing:

"How shameless can you be? You use Shisui's Sharingan with such peace of mind; who could possibly be more evil than you?"

The morning sun shone through the window, illuminating the hospital room where Su Xiang lay. Everything was gradually waking up under the touch of the morning light, bringing with it a fresh atmosphere.

"That was a great sleep. It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly." Su Xiang stretched and got up to observe his surroundings.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and memories that did not belong to him surfaced in his mind. He propped his head with his hand and muttered:

"Uchiha Isho. Parents died in an accident during a mission. Grew up relying on his parents' pension to make ends meet. Loner personality, few friends, currently attending the Ninja Academy."

The scene finally froze in a pitch-black room, where a figure wearing a tiger-striped mask appeared silently and suddenly plunged a blade into Uchiha Isho's heart.

"Damn it."

This is the Naruto world, so does that mean I've transmigrated? Last night wasn't a dream after all; that was the Uchiha Clan Downfall.

At this moment, Isho noticed his chest was wrapped in bandages. Even though he felt no pain, the flickering images in his mind felt as if he had experienced them himself, making him shudder involuntarily.

This caused his expression to turn slightly ferocious as he cursed inwardly.

Obito, you bastard, you really are ruthless!

After a long while, Isho felt his mind clear, and his thoughts shifted to another matter.

"Right, there was supposed to be a system, wasn't there?"

"System, are you there?" Su Xiang asked in a low voice.

Instantly, a blue light screen appeared before Su Xiang.

[Ding! Naruto Fusion System at your service]
[Host: Uchiha Isho]
[Ninjutsu: Three Body Technique]
[Taijutsu: Basic Kickboxing]
[Genjutsu: None]
[Kekkei Genkai: Uchiha]
[System Inventory: Newbie Gift Pack x1]
[Ninja Gacha Interface: Normal Gacha 20 Luck Points/pull, 10 pulls guarantee an Elite Ninja. Advanced Gacha 100 Luck Points/pull, 10 pulls guarantee an Epic Ninja, with a small chance for a Legendary Ninja.]
[Note: Ninja ranks are divided into Common, Elite, Epic, and Legendary]

Su Xiang was slightly stunned and couldn't help but complain, "The original body didn't even master a single offensive ninjutsu."

But upon second thought, he felt relieved; not everyone could be a genius like Sasuke or Itachi, who could learn even simple C-rank ninjutsu that others might struggle to grasp.

"System, others can't see this interface, right?" Isho asked cautiously, for if others could see it, he wouldn't be able to explain it.

[Ding! Rest assured, Host, the system interface is visible only to the Host.]

"That's good."

"Sigh, I only had a high school diploma and had to rely on relatives to get a job as a security guard. Who would have thought that checking some electrical wires... could lead to an accident." Su Xiang sighed with a sorrowful expression.

"At least there was life insurance, but Mom, Dad, and my little brother will probably be very sad. If only... I could go back."

In his previous life, his hobbies were reading novels, watching anime and manga, and occasionally playing games.

For a hardcore otaku like him, he hadn't just watched the Naruto anime; he loved it dearly. He had even watched a few episodes of Boruto, though he felt the updates were too slow and wanted to wait for more episodes to accumulate.

However, some rumors online suggested that Naruto and Sasuke would be killed off in the Boruto script, which made him particularly furious. If they really did that, he would declare that Naruto only consisted of the Shippuden era.

"Back when I was still in school, after finishing Naruto, I would often use the ultimate Naruto technique on people..." Thinking of this, the sorrow on Su Xiang's face slowly faded, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Alright then, from now on, I am Uchiha Isho. Although the Naruto world is full of danger, with a golden finger, I'll play it safe and develop, trying my best to live a stable life."

After calming his emotions, Isho peacefully accepted the reality of his situation.
