System Activated: Grow Stronger by Changing the Plot

Facing Shisui Uchiha at his full strength, Akira Shimura and Kamii Sarutobi had no power to resist, quickly defeated by his Phantom Body Flicker Technique.

"Despicable, shadowy Uchiha! To think you were hiding your true strength. Clan Leader Danzo was right—you Uchiha are a clan born of evil."

"Shisui Uchiha, just you wait. I will tell Uncle Hiruzen that you dared to strike your own comrades and intend to commit treason."

Defeated, the two felt no fear, remaining on the ground as they spewed their verbal abuse without restraint. They were certain that once they returned to the village, the factions backing them would ensure Shisui Uchiha was disgraced and left with no place to hide.

"What a rotten system," Shisui sighed.

As one of the founding clans of the village, the Uchiha had long been squeezed out of the core power structure due to conflicting political ideologies.

In the seven years since Shisui had arrived in this ninja world, he had been completing missions issued by the village since the age of five, earning funds for the village's coffers.

Furthermore, influenced by his grandfather Kagami Uchiha, Shisui's daily behavior had naturally leaned closer to the Hokage faction.

Even so, the village kept him under strict surveillance, ready to dispose of him simply because he was "disobedient."

In this moment, the Will of Fire that had lingered within Shisui was completely extinguished.

He immediately threw two kunai, one at Akira Shimura and one at Kamii Sarutobi, which pierced their throats with lethal precision.

"You... you actually dare..."

Until the very moment their lives ended, both wore expressions of utter disbelief.

[Congratulations to the Host. The program for Shisui Uchiha to defect to the Hokage faction has been altered. System activated.]

[Name: Shisui Uchiha]
[Age: 7]

[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...]

[Please continue your efforts, Host. The more you change the plot of the ninja world, the more rewards you will receive.]

Shisui Uchiha was not overly surprised by the appearance of the system. After all, if he could experience transmigration and rebirth, a system was hardly out of the question.

So, changing the original plot grants rewards...

According to the original timeline, I would have joined the Anbu at eight next year, becoming a complete pawn for the Hokage faction.

Now that I have killed members of the Hokage faction, even if I frame it as the work of the Hidden Stone, it will still make them wary. Even if I joined the Anbu, I would never be trusted, and we could never cooperate as we did in the original story.

Since Shisui Uchiha had decided to walk a different path in this life, this system would become a major asset.

[The system has issued its first mission: Save Obito Uchiha from the Hidden Stone. Mission Reward: Indra Bloodline development increased by 10%.]

[Accept?]

In the original plot, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara were lured deep into enemy territory by four Hidden Stone Jonin—Mahiru, Kakkou, Taiseki, and Sumashi—under the command of Higashishinin. The result was a tragic cost: Kakashi's left eye was slashed, Rin Nohara was kidnapped, and Obito Uchiha "sacrificed" himself.

Shisui Uchiha had left his team temporarily precisely to support the trio and save Obito Uchiha, preventing him from falling into darkness and thereby stopping the Uchiha Clan Downfall seven years later.

This system mission aligned perfectly with Shisui's intentions.

[Accept]

At this moment, somewhere near Kannabi Bridge, the trio of Obito Uchiha was already surrounded by the four Hidden Stone Jonin.

"Give up. You cannot escape. Surrender to us obediently, and you might suffer less physical pain."

The speaker was the Hidden Stone Jonin Mahiru, who excelled in the Shadow Clone Technique and swordsmanship, often using clones to conduct reconnaissance alone.

It was he who had lured Kakashi into the pursuit.

In the 46th year of the Leaf, Obito Uchiha was already 13 years old—a righteous, kind-hearted youth who held the Will of Fire close to his heart and dreamed of becoming Hokage.

Faced with the threats and coercion of the Hidden Stone, he resolutely refused, retorting: "Don't think you can use us as hostages to threaten Master Minato Namikaze. We won't let your schemes succeed."

"Hahahaha, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. In that case, let's see you suffer a little."

As the hot-headed member of the Hidden Stone group, the Jonin Kakkou disdained the use of schemes. Skilled in Earth Release, swordsmanship, and genjutsu, he had absolute confidence in his strength, believing he could easily crush these three Leaf ninja.

"Watch out, his speed is incredible!"

Before Kakashi could finish his warning, Kakkou had already lunged toward Obito Uchiha, the blades strapped to his arms thrusting toward Obito's chest.

"Clang."

At the critical moment, Kakashi drew the ninja sword left to him by his father, the White Fang of the Leaf, blocking the lethal strike for Obito.

Yet, the blade in Kakashi's hand was shattered by the enemy's strike.

"Getting distracted in battle... that's how people die."

Another Hidden Stone Jonin, Taiseki, took advantage of Kakashi's lapse in focus, appearing suddenly at his side and swinging his blade downward.

"Ah..."

Kakashi was unable to dodge in time; the sharp samurai blade slashed across his left cheek, cutting his left eye as blood began to stream from the corner of his eye.

"Kakashi, how are you?"

Filled with self-reproach and guilt, Obito Uchiha hurriedly steadied the injured Kakashi, checking his wounds with a look of deep concern.

"So, how about it? My Secret Technique: Camouflage Technique is quite effective, isn't it?" Taiseki said, looking smug as he shifted his target toward Rin Nohara.

With her mediocre strength, Rin Nohara had no room to resist before the jonin Taiseki and was subdued by him instantly.

"You bastard, let Rin go!" Obito Uchiha roared; Rin Nohara was the most important person to him.

However, Taiseki ignored Obito Uchiha and handed her over to Kakkou instead.

"Find a safe place and use your genjutsu to extract more intelligence. We can handle things here."

Kakkou did not believe that Kakashi and Obito Uchiha could pose any trouble to his teammates, so he left the battlefield with Rin Nohara.

First, Kakashi had injured his left eye to protect him, and now Rin Nohara had been abducted by the enemy because of his own incompetence; at this moment, Obito Uchiha's negative emotions reached their limit.

"Put Rin down!"

Consumed by extreme rage, Obito Uchiha no longer cared about the disparity in their strength and charged toward Taiseki.
