Faced with Shisui Uchiha fighting at full strength, Akira Shimura and Kamii Sarutobi had no ability to fight back at all. They were defeated by Shisui's Phantom Body Flicker Technique.
"You despicable, underhanded Uchiha! You were hiding your strength all along. Clan leader Danzo was right. Your Uchiha Clan is a naturally evil clan!"
"Shisui Uchiha, just you wait! I'll tell Uncle Hiruzen that you attacked your comrades and intended to betray us!"
Even after being defeated, the two weren't afraid. They lay on the ground and kept hurling insults without a care. Once they returned to the village, the forces backing them would surely ruin Shisui Uchiha's reputation and make sure he met a terrible end.
"What a rotten system," Shisui sighed.
As one of the village's founders, the Uchiha Clan had long since been pushed out of the village's inner circle because their political ideals differed from those of the others.
In the seven years since Shisui arrived in the Shinobi World, he had been completing missions issued by the village since the age of five, earning money for it.
Influenced by his grandfather, Kagami Uchiha, Shisui had also naturally felt closer to the Hokage Faction in his daily life.
Even so, the village had kept him under close surveillance, and now it wanted him dead simply because he was "disobedient."
At that moment, the Will of Fire lingering in Shisui's heart went out completely.
He threw two kunai, one at Akira Shimura and the other at Kamii Sarutobi. Both struck their targets precisely in the throat.
"You—you actually dare to..."
Until the moment their lives ended, the two wore expressions of utter disbelief.
[Congratulations, host. You have changed Shisui Uchiha's decision to side with the Hokage Faction. The system is now active.]
[Name: Shisui Uchiha]
[Age: 7]
[Bloodline: Indra Bloodline (40% developed) — Three-Tomoe Sharingan]
[Chakra: A (Jonin level)]
[Chakra natures: Fire, Wind, Earth, Lightning]
[Skills: Body Flicker Technique, Substitution Technique, Phantom Body Flicker Technique, Great Fireball Technique, Great Dragon Fire Technique, Genjutsu: Sharingan, Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique...]
[Item: Konoha Chunin Gear]
[Please keep working hard, host. The more you change the course of the Shinobi World, the more rewards you can earn.]
Shisui Uchiha wasn't particularly surprised by the system's appearance. After all, transmigration and rebirth had both happened to him. Having a system as well wasn't much of a stretch.
"So changing the original story earns me rewards..."
"According to the original story, I'll join the Anbu at eight next year and become a pawn of the Hokage Faction."
"Now that I've killed people from the Hokage Faction, even if I make it look like Iwagakure did it, they'll still grow wary of me. Even if I join the Anbu, they won't trust me, and there's no way I'll work with them like I did in the original story."
Since Shisui Uchiha had decided to take a different path in this life, the system would be a great help to him.
[The system has issued its first mission. Host, rescue Obito Uchiha from Iwagakure. Mission reward: Indra Bloodline development increased by 10%.]
[Accept?]
In the original story, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara had been lured deep into enemy territory by four Iwagakure Jonin—Mahiru, Kakkō, Taiseki, and Sumashi—who served under the Iwagakure unit commander Higashishinin. As a result, Kakashi's left eye was slashed, Rin Nohara was captured, and Obito Uchiha made the tragic "sacrifice."
Shisui Uchiha had originally left his team temporarily to support Kakashi and the others, rescue Obito Uchiha, and keep him from falling into darkness. That would prevent the Uchiha Clan Massacre seven years later.
The mission issued by the system was exactly what Shisui wanted.
[Accept.]
At that moment, near Kannabi Bridge, Obito Uchiha and his two teammates had been surrounded by four Iwagakure Jonin.
"Give it up. You're not getting away. Surrender nicely, and you'll spare yourselves some pain."
The speaker was Mahiru, an Iwagakure Jonin skilled in the Shadow Clone Technique and swordsmanship. He could use his clones to carry out reconnaissance missions on his own.
This time, he had been the one to provoke Kakashi into pursuing him.
In Year 46 of Konoha, Obito Uchiha was already thirteen. He was an upright, kind young man who believed in the Will of Fire and dreamed of becoming Hokage.
Faced with Iwagakure's threats and offers, he refused outright and shot back, "Don't think you can use us as hostages to threaten our teacher, Minato Namikaze. We won't let your dirty tricks succeed!"
"Ha ha ha ha! You refused the easy way, so now you'll get the hard way. Fine, let's make you suffer a little first."
As one of the more hot-tempered Iwagakure shinobi, Kakkō had no interest in using schemes. Skilled in Earth Release, swordsmanship, and genjutsu, he had absolute confidence in his strength and believed he could easily overpower the three Konoha Ninja before him.
"Watch out! He's incredibly fast!"
Kakashi had barely managed to warn the others when Kakkō charged at Obito Uchiha. The two blades strapped to his arms stabbed toward Obito's chest.
"Clang!"
At the last moment, Kakashi pulled out the Ninja Blade his father, the White Fang of the Leaf, had left him and blocked the lethal blow aimed at Obito.
But the blade in Kakashi's hand shattered under the impact of Kakkō's blades.
"Getting distracted in a fight can get you killed."
Taking advantage of Kakashi's momentary distraction, another Iwagakure Jonin, Taiseki, suddenly appeared beside him and swung his sword down.
"Ah..."
Kakashi couldn't dodge in time. The sharp blade sliced across his left cheek and wounded his left eye. Blood ran from the corner of his eye.
"Kakashi, are you all right?"
Feeling guilty and remorseful, Obito hurriedly supported the injured Kakashi and anxiously checked his wounds.
"How's that? My secret Camouflage Technique works pretty well, doesn't it?" Taiseki said smugly as he turned his attention to Rin Nohara.
Rin Nohara was no match for the Jonin Taiseki. She had no chance to fight back and was quickly subdued.
"You bastard, let Rin go!" Obito Uchiha roared. Rin Nohara was the most important person to him.
But Taiseki ignored Obito Uchiha and handed her over to Kakkō.
"Find somewhere safe and use your genjutsu to get more information out of her. We can handle things here."
Kakkō didn't think Kakashi and Obito Uchiha could pose any threat to his teammates, so he left the battlefield with Rin Nohara.
First, Kakashi had injured his left eye protecting him. Then Rin Nohara had been captured by the enemy because he was too weak. Obito Uchiha's despair and anger had reached their limit.
"Put Rin down!"
Burning with rage, Obito Uchiha charged at Taiseki, no longer caring about the difference in their strength.
