My Name Is Uchiha Shin

My name is Lu Xuan, and I never expected to transmigrate. To make matters worse, it was into such a pit of a world.

My parents in this life were hacked to death on the battlefield shortly after I was born, and I successfully became an orphan.

My current name is Uchiha Shin. I am three years old and have been adopted by my uncle's family. I have a cousin named Uchiha Madara, and a brat the same age as me named Uchiha Izuna. Besides them, there are three younger ones named Uchiha Fei, Uchiha Hen, and Uchiha Liang.

Uchiha Madara always wears a "Dragon Overlord" expression; at the very least, I have never seen him smile. Whenever he sees me, he only ever says one thing: "Did you train today?" The frequency is comparable to "Did you eat today?" from my previous life.

Train your sister! Do you think everyone is a cultivation maniac like you? I'm only three years old! High-intensity training will kill me, you know.

As for Uchiha Izuna, for some reason, we have always looked at each other with disdain. Even though we fight every two days, rain or shine—of course, in terms of strength, I am slightly better, so he is the one beaten to the ground every time.

However, every time he fails, he goes to fetch reinforcements. Since Uchiha Madara is a brother-complex, I am always the one who suffers in the end.

Beside a slowly flowing river, a three-year-old child sat with his knees hugged to his chest. Watching the clear water drift by, he couldn't help but lament his tragic fate.

"Naruto, the Warring States period, the Uchiha... are you trying to kill me?!" Shin tossed a pebble into the river, his face full of gloom.

Before he transmigrated, he had watched Naruto and understood the plot, but that was all set decades after the founding of Konoha. It had absolutely nothing to do with the current situation. As things stand, whether he can even survive until then is a question.

Most events of the Warring States period were glossed over in the original work, appearing mostly in the memories of Senju Hashirama.

But no matter how little the original work described the Warring States, it deeply revealed one thing: it was a cruel era, an age with an incredibly high mortality rate, where even children were sent to the battlefield.

In the original work, when Uchiha Madara met Senju Hashirama, he once said that he originally had five brothers, but now only one remained. That remaining one, naturally, referred to Izuna.

Wait...

Thinking of this, Shin was suddenly shocked, remembering a problem he had always ignored.

He had always thought of himself as a transmigrator who didn't count as one of Uchiha Madara's brothers. Adding Izuna, Fei, Hen, and Liang, that made five brothers, so he had been careless. But thinking about it carefully now, something was wrong.

You must know that in the original work, Madara's exact words were, "I originally had five brothers." That is to say, among these five brothers, Madara did not include himself. In reality, if you count Madara himself, there were six brothers.

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Shin's back. Five brothers, and now there are only four. It is obvious that in the original work, Madara did have a cousin like him who was adopted. Unfortunately, by the time Madara met Hashirama, he had already died in battle, not even leaving a name behind.

Taking a deep breath, Shin forced himself to calm down. After all, he had the soul of an adult; he wouldn't panic over a mere guess.

"If my guess is true, according to the original work, the first meeting between Madara and the Senju was around the age of eight or nine. Madara is already six this year. Calculating for the worst-case scenario, my predecessor will likely die within these next two years."

Shin's gaze gradually turned cold, his eyes transforming into a blood-red hue. A single tomoe slowly rotated within them, reflected on the surface of the river.

This pair of Sharingan had awakened when he was one year old. Apart from himself, no one knew. In this Warring States era where human life is as cheap as grass, it is hard to survive without hidden trump cards.

The earlier the Uchiha clan awakens the Sharingan, the greater their achievements. In the original work, the genius Uchiha Itachi awakened his eyes at eight and was called a peerless genius seen once in a century.

As far as Shin knew, during the Warring States period, most Uchiha clan members awakened their eyes only after their teens. Those who could awaken them before ten were called geniuses. Uchiha Madara awakened his at five and was called the hope of the Uchiha clan. Someone like Shin, who awakened them at one, was unheard of. If word got out, who knows what kind of uproar it would cause.

Seeing his own Sharingan, he felt at ease, thinking to himself: "Since I awakened my eyes two years ago, I've been stuck at a single tomoe due to chakra issues. I'll probably reach two tomoe by next year. If Uchiha Shin died within these two years in the original work, I must train twice as hard."

Ding!

"Behind-the-Scenes Boss System initializing. Binding host, Uchiha Shin."

"What?" Shin suddenly felt a splitting headache as a massive amount of information flooded his brain. It didn't begin to subside until an hour later.

"Binding complete. Identifying world: Naruto. Issuing main quest: Become the final boss of this world and unify the globe. Reward: Ownership of the Naruto world! Quest duration: Until the end of the plot. Failure: Erasure!"

"Hey, don't just go issuing quests on your own! I haven't even figured out the situation yet!" Shin clutched his head and roared in his heart.

"This system is only responsible for issuing quests, not for explanations. Please figure it out yourself, host."

Shin gritted his teeth and began to organize the information that had flooded into his mind. Simply put, this was a system designed to turn someone into a boss. It had various functions and could exchange for anything in the Naruto world, provided you had enough points. As for earning points, the system would issue various tasks.

After slowly finishing his organization, Shin couldn't help but feel a surge of ecstasy. This was essentially a transmigrator's golden finger! Although it was delayed by three years and only arrived now, it was here nonetheless. What more could he complain about?

Thinking this, Shin's heart stirred, and he opened the exchange interface, wanting to see what could be exchanged. The very first item made him gasp.

Rinnegan, Item Level: SSS, requires 1,000,000 points.

Sage Body, Item Level: SSS, requires 1,000,000 points.

Eternal Mangekyou, Level: SS, requires 500,000 points.

After counting the zeros behind each item, the corners of Shin's mouth twitched slightly. Was this meant to be a grind until the end of time?

"Say, is there no beginner welfare?" Shin asked internally.

"In view of the host's inquiry, the first welfare can be a gift of one C-rank ninjutsu or one upgrade to the Sharingan. Please choose."

Shin's eyelid twitched with irritation. What did he mean by "in view of the host's inquiry"? It sounded like if he hadn't asked, the system wouldn't have planned to give these rewards at all.

He didn't need to think about the C-rank ninjutsu; he didn't want it. As a great clan in the ninja world, the Uchiha had plenty of C-rank ninjutsu—if you had the strength, you could get as many as you wanted.

"Upgrade the Sharingan."

As soon as Shin spoke, a warm current emerged from within his body and surged into his Sharingan. His eyes felt a sudden burning sensation. About a minute later, Shin hurriedly leaned over the riverbank. In the reflection, two tomoe were clearly visible.
