Transmigration, A Uchiha's Chunin

Year 50 of the Konoha era.

Land of Fire, within the training grounds of the Uchiha clan's Konoha Military Police Force.

Two Uchiha clansmen were engaged in sparring practice.

Uchiha Genya held a short blade, which collided with a kunai.

With his attack blocked, Uchiha Inabi immediately abandoned close-quarters combat, stepped back, and formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The scorching fireball roared outward, yet there was not a hint of fear in Genya's eyes.

Gripping his blade with a backhand, he used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the Great Fireball Technique while simultaneously pressing his short blade against his opponent's neck.

Seeing this, Inabi had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

"Still no match for you."

Genya retracted his short blade, the two-tomoe patterns in his eyes slowly fading away.

"I only have the Sharingan to thank for that; when it comes to ninjutsu, I am still inferior to you."

Inabi said in a hearty tone, "The Sharingan is also an ability of our Uchiha clan. Looking at your speed now, I'm afraid you're already approaching the level of Shisui?"

"Would you like to apply for the jonin examination soon?"

Genya shook his head without saying a word, his thoughts drifting far away.

That's right, Genya was also a transmigrator from Blue Star.

In his previous life, while crossing the street, he failed to cosplay as a speed bump and was struck by a hundred-ton truck into another world, subsequently becoming a member of the Uchiha.

While he was still studying at the Ninja Academy, the Third Great Ninja War broke out, and he was undoubtedly arranged for early graduation, becoming a glorious piece of cannon fodder.

During the Third Great Ninja War, his parents were killed in action, which directly led to him awakening the Sharingan.

It seems the parents of transmigrators really are a high-risk profession.

Perhaps because he had lived two lives, Genya's soul was exceptionally strong; translated into chakra talent, he was particularly gifted in Yin Release.

This resulted in Genya awakening the Sharingan on the battlefield as easily as eating or drinking, and with the slightest bit of stimulation, his ocular power would continuously increase.

He had already unlocked the two-tomoe, making him something of a genius within the clan.

Of course, Genya didn't consider this kind of talent to be anything special.

Compared to a genius like Itachi—who entered the academy at six, graduated at seven, became a chunin at ten, and joined the Anbu at eleven—Genya's brand of ordinary genius was only "passable" within the Uchiha.

Moreover, Genya was only talented in Yin Release; his talent for the vast majority of the five elemental ninjutsu was quite average.

Naturally, "average" here means very average within the Uchiha clan.

Utilizing the copy ability of the Sharingan, it wasn't difficult for Genya to learn ninjutsu, but he struggled with techniques above B-rank.

However, Genya's talent in genjutsu and taijutsu was quite good, and when combined with the Body Flicker Technique, he could barely manage the combat strength of a jonin.

Seeing that Genya remained silent, Inabi didn't press the issue.

He knew that this friend he had grown up with had been like this ever since his parents died in the war; he was the type to be ruthless and taciturn on the battlefield, and he was long used to it.

"Even if you don't like it, you still have to participate in the jonin examination. The more jonin we Uchiha have, the more the village will have to be wary of us."

The Third Great Ninja War had ended, yet the position of Fourth Hokage had been inherited by Namikaze Minato.

Because of this, the Uchiha clan, which already had friction with the village, became even more incensed.

During the Third Great Ninja War, the Uchiha had been deployed to the Land of Water, a battlefield with poor compatibility, which ultimately led to heavy losses for the clan.

What was even more hateful was that the Third Hokage didn't even provide symbolic pensions or recognition, completely ignoring the contributions of the Uchiha clan.

This kind of suppression caused the Uchiha clan to seethe with resentment, and the hawks directly overwhelmed the doves, gaining the upper hand.

But the internal division of the Uchiha was not the biggest problem right now.

Knowing the plot, Genya understood that the relationship between the Uchiha and the village was extremely tense, and during the upcoming Night of the Nine-Tails, Namikaze Minato and his wife were about to die in battle.

Afterward, because of the Sharingan pattern in the Nine-Tails' eyes, the village's gaze would shift toward the Uchiha, turning the clan into a powder keg ready to explode at the slightest touch.

Following that, the night of the clan's annihilation by the "filial son" would arrive.

Not to mention that old schemer Danzo was lurking in the shadows; to Genya's knowledge, several clansmen had simply vanished without a trace while on missions during the Third Great Ninja War.

Genya didn't even need to guess; those methods were definitely Danzo's work!

Genya even suspected that if he were to awaken the three-tomoe, he might also "go missing" during some mission.

Regarding Inabi's line of thinking, Genya merely scoffed.

The current predicament of the Uchiha was that the clan lacked someone who could stand up and speak for them.

Fugaku might have been able to, but with his Mangekyō Sharingan, as long as he showed a tough stance, even Danzo wouldn't risk the Root being attacked by a Susanoo to initiate the night of annihilation.

When others say you have weapons of mass destruction, you had better actually have them.

And you must make others believe that you truly dare to use them.

Unfortunately, Fugaku was far too cowardly, constantly retreating until he forced himself, and the entire Uchiha clan, to the edge of a cliff.

It is evident from this that even if you possess a Mangekyō, as long as you are a coward, others will still dare to weave conspiracies against you.

Uchiha Genya had even planned to seize the first opportunity to defect and run away.

The Uchiha are not well-regarded in Konoha, but in other ninja villages, the Uchiha bloodline should still be quite sought after.

Kumogakure, in particular, is known to be desperate for ninjas with Kekkei Genkai, going so far as to steal, abduct, or even plunder to obtain powerful bloodline limits.

If he were to defect to them now, he might even manage to secure a position as a stud.

As a transmigrator, Genya felt no sense of belonging to Konoha; in fact, because his parents' deaths were likely linked to Root, he would be delighted to see Konoha destroyed.

He held a shred of affection for the Uchiha clan that raised him, but his voice carried no weight, and he currently lacked the power to change the clan's fate.

Uchiha who have awakened their eyes share one distinct trait: aside from death, nothing can change their minds.

To avoid sinking along with the Uchiha ship, Genya had long since made his preparations.

The only thing Genya regretted was that his transmigration seemed to come without any golden finger.

Otherwise, who would want to act like a stray dog, slinking away in defeat?

Just as Genya was preparing to head back to rest, an unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Ding! System loading complete!]

[Newbie gift pack detected, open it?]

Genya's footsteps faltered.

Very well, the defection plan is officially abandoned; now, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually dares to occupy the Konoha that belongs to me!
