Rain pattered against the rooftops of Konoha.
Deep within the Uchiha Clan Compound, Su Ye suddenly opened his eyes in a dilapidated attic.
An unfamiliar ceiling, air thick with the smell of mold, and... a needle-sharp pain in his eye socket.
"Ugh..." He sucked in a breath and instinctively raised a hand to touch his eye. Beneath his fingertips, he felt no familiar glasses, only warm skin with a faint pattern.
"Where... am I?"
Memories surged through his mind like a tide. Wasn't he supposed to be in his rented apartment, staying up late to grind the "Shinobi World War" event in a Naruto mobile game? He'd played nonstop for three days and nights trying to get Impure World Reincarnation Itachi, and then, he seemed to have blacked out...
Wait. The Uchiha Clan Compound? An attic? The pain in his eye?
Su Ye's pupils contracted. An absurd yet crystal-clear thought rose in his mind. He struggled to his feet and staggered over to a dusty bronze mirror.
The boy in the mirror had messy black hair and pale skin, but handsome features—especially his eyes...
His left eye was in a bizarre state. The pupil was no longer ordinary black; the pattern of a Six-Tomoe Sharingan was intertwined with the ripples of the Rinnegan! Crimson and indigo light flowed through the pupil, as if it held a terrifying power capable of tearing through space. His right eye, though still an ordinary black, was growing warm, as if it might transform at any moment.
"Rinne... Sharingan?!" Su Ye cried out.
Just then, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
[ Ding! Congratulations, host Su Ye, on transmigrating to the world of Naruto. The 'Dojutsu Evolution System' has been bound! ]
[ Initial Dojutsu: Rinne Sharingan (left eye, initial level)—combines the traits of the Sharingan and Rinnegan. Possesses 'Space-Time Ninjutsu,' 'mental interference,' and 'basic Rinnegan abilities' (not fully unlocked). ]
[ Newbie mission issued: Survive the Uchiha Clan Massacre and save Uchiha Itachi. Mission reward: Fully awaken the Rinne Sharingan in the right eye and unlock the 'Heavenly Hand Power' trait. ]
The night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre? Save Itachi?
A chill shot from the soles of Su Ye's feet to the crown of his head. He had transmigrated right into this bloody night!
The rain outside seemed to fall even harder. From deep within the compound, he could faintly hear occasional screams.
"Damn it!" Su Ye gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.
He quickly sorted through his memories. The original owner of this body was also named Su Ye. He was a marginal member of the Uchiha Clan, orphaned young and withdrawn by nature. He had lived in this attic for years, almost forgotten by his clan. That was the only reason he was temporarily safe in the early hours of the massacre.
But that safety wouldn't last. Uchiha Itachi and Obito wouldn't spare a single member of the Uchiha Clan.
"System, what can my Rinne Sharingan do right now?" Su Ye asked inwardly.
[Replying to host: The initial-level Rinne Sharingan can use 'short-range Kamui' (Space-Time Ninjutsu that can teleport you or an object you touch over a short distance), 'basic genjutsu' (interferes with targets with weak mental fortitude), and 'Limbo: Border Jail (weakened version)' (creates a partially tangible shadow to assist in combat). ]
Short-range Kamui!
A glint flashed in Su Ye's eyes. It was Obito's signature technique. Even if it could only teleport over short distances for now, it was an excellent way to survive this desperate situation!
He took a deep breath and focused, sinking his awareness into the Rinne Sharingan in his left eye. Instantly, his vision sharpened, and everything around him seemed to slow down. He reached for the wooden table beside him and silently thought, Teleport.
With a soft hum, the table vanished. The next moment, it reappeared on the other side of the attic!
It worked!
Su Ye was thrilled. He was about to try teleporting himself when the attic door was kicked open with a bang!
A ninja dressed in Anbu garb stood in the doorway, wearing a Uchiha cat-faced mask. A Kunai gleamed coldly in his hand. He swept a chilly glance around the attic, then fixed his gaze on Su Ye.
"Uchiha remnant. Die."
At the cold words, the Kunai shot toward Su Ye's heart with a sharp whistle!
At the last possible instant, the Rinne Sharingan in Su Ye's eye blazed to life! He focused all his mental energy into his left eye and roared, "Kamui!"
"Vwoom—"
Space seemed to twist, and Su Ye vanished like a phantom. The Anbu Ninja's Kunai pierced empty air. He froze for a moment, then warily scanned his surroundings.
Su Ye had appeared on the attic's rafters, his heart pounding.
That was close!
He had just started to relax when the Anbu Ninja looked up. The eyeholes in his cat-faced mask fixed on Su Ye, and his lips curled into a cruel smile. "I didn't expect there to be another stray... and one with a Sharingan, no less."
Su Ye's heart sank. The Anbu Ninja's eyes were glowing too—with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
He was one of Uchiha Itachi's subordinates! Or rather, an Uchiha being controlled by Obito!
"Since you've exposed your Sharingan, don't blame me for showing no mercy." The Anbu Ninja sneered and formed Hand Seals. "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A massive fireball erupted from his mouth, radiating scorching heat as it swept toward Su Ye on the rafters!
There was nowhere to dodge!
A resolute look flashed through Su Ye's eyes. He activated his Rinne Sharingan again, this time locking onto the wall behind the Anbu Ninja.
"Kamui!"
Space twisted once more, and Su Ye vanished. At the same time, the Anbu Ninja's fireball struck the rafters, setting the wooden beams alight and scattering sparks everywhere.
Su Ye reappeared beside the wall behind the Anbu Ninja, barely escaping the fireball.
"Interesting..." The Anbu Ninja slowly turned around, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spinning faster. "You can use Space-Time Ninjutsu repeatedly? It seems your Sharingan is far more unusual than I thought."
He advanced toward Su Ye step by step, raising his Kunai again. His eyes were full of mockery. "But your chakra must be almost depleted, right? A brat like you can't use such advanced jutsu over and over."
Su Ye clenched his fists, cold sweat beading on his forehead. After using Kamui twice in a row, he had indeed burned through a huge amount of chakra. The dizziness was getting worse.
Was he going to die here?
No! He hadn't completed his mission yet! He hadn't saved Itachi!
His desperate will to live set his nerves alight. Just then, he felt his right eye growing warm too. A power, both connected to and different from the one in his left eye, was awakening!
[ Ding! Host is facing imminent death. Conditions for awakening the Rinne Sharingan in the right eye have been triggered! ]
[ Rinne Sharingan (right eye, initial level) awakening... Estimated time remaining: 10 seconds... 5 seconds... 1 second! ]
[ Awakening complete! The Rinne Sharingan in the right eye has unlocked the 'Heavenly Hand Power' trait (can swap positions with an object or person touched within a certain range)! ]
Almost as soon as the system notification sounded, Su Ye's right eye lit up with a pupil like the one in his left, its pattern interweaving the markings of the Sharingan and Rinnegan!
A new power surged into his body. His chakra depletion eased at once, and his vision sharpened further.
He lifted his head and looked at the Anbu Ninja approaching him. For the first time, a confident smile curved his lips.
"The game is only just beginning."
His right eye narrowed. He silently thought, Heavenly Hand Power!
"Vwoom!"
Without warning, Su Ye and the Anbu Ninja swapped positions!
The Kunai the Anbu Ninja had been thrusting forward was now aimed at his own heart! The sneer on his face froze, replaced by utter horror. "W-what kind of jutsu is this?!"
Su Ye gave him no time to react. The Rinne Sharingan in his left eye activated again.
"Kamui!"
This time, he locked onto the Anbu Ninja's Kunai!
"Thwip!"
The Kunai vanished into thin air. The next moment, it appeared outside the attic, flying far away through the rain.
Disarmed and forced to switch positions, the Anbu Ninja was completely on the defensive. He stared in terror at Su Ye's strange eyes, his voice trembling. "W-who are you?!"
Su Ye slowly rose to his feet. His black T-shirt was dirty with rainwater and dust, but his gaze was bright. He walked up to the Anbu Ninja and looked down at him as the Rinne Sharingan in his eyes slowly turned.
"Who I am doesn't matter." Su Ye's voice carried a hint of coldness. "What matters is that you're about to die."
He raised his right hand and began gathering chakra, ready to deliver the final blow.
But just then, a cold, familiar voice came from outside the attic, like a whisper from hell:
"Oh? What an unexpected find... A pair of special Sharingan, is it?"
Su Ye's heart clenched. He whipped around.
Someone pushed the attic window open from outside. A man in a red cloak patterned with clouds stood in the rain, his face hidden behind a spiral mask that revealed only one crimson Sharingan.
It was Obito!
And on a rooftop not far behind him stood a figure in a black Akatsuki cloak, a giant scythe on his back, watching in cold silence.
Uchiha Itachi!
The man at the center of the massacre had finally appeared.
Su Ye's heart leaped into his throat once more.
His newbie mission had begun.
