Masaki Uchiha

Chapter 1: Masaki Uchiha

Konoha Year 51, Summer.

7:00 PM.

In a mansion located at the heart of the Uchiha Clan compound.

"Big Brother Masaki, our men are ready!"

The person speaking with his head bowed was a young man of eleven or twelve. He had a rare, prominent nose, refined features, and wore the uniform of the Police Force with a katana strapped to his back. He was none other than Uchiha Shisui, who had recently been making a name for himself within Konoha.

"Good, then let's cut the Gordian knot. We act when the clan meeting begins. Execute according to the plan we established."

The man speaking was leaning back in a chair, reading a book. He appeared to be in his early twenties, his hair tied in a ponytail. Even the bangs on his forehead could not hide his sharp, sword-like brows, which, paired with his striking phoenix eyes, seemed to radiate an invisible aura of authority. His face was as fair as jade, adding a touch of elegance to his handsome appearance.

Uchiha Shisui replied with visible excitement: "Understood, Senior Masaki! I will go assemble the men now." Just as he turned to leave, he seemed to recall something and looked back to ask:

"Big Brother Masaki, do we need to give the Fourth Hokage a heads-up?"

"After all, Clan Leader Fugaku has a rather close relationship with the Fourth Hokage."

Masaki Uchiha glanced at Uchiha Shisui, then waved his hand dismissively. "No need. Konoha's rules are clear: the ninja clans belong to the clans, and the Hokage belongs to the Hokage. The Fourth Hokage's reach doesn't extend that far!"

"Yes, Big Brother Masaki!"

Masaki Uchiha set down his book and stood up. "Shisui, sometimes you think too much and do too little. Let me teach you something."

"The more significant the decision, the less you should hesitate."

"Once you hesitate, you are defeated; you give it all away for nothing."

"When it is time to be decisive, you must strike the final blow. No matter what others think, just do your own thing. The gazes of others cannot hurt you in the slightest."

"I understand, Big Brother Masaki," Uchiha Shisui said, looking at Masaki Uchiha with a solemn expression.

"Go. From now on, the future of the Uchiha Clan will be in our hands."

"Yes!!!" After answering, Uchiha Shisui turned and left, filled with confidence.

Watching Uchiha Shisui depart, Masaki Uchiha thought to himself: The opportunity is finally coming. In just a few months, following the original plot, once the Nine-Tails incident occurs, I will have the chance to seize the position of Fifth Hokage. By then... heh heh.

That's right, Masaki Uchiha was a transmigrator from the Blue Star. Before coming to the Naruto world, he was an ordinary person from the Xia Kingdom named Zhang Qing. He had lived a life free of financial worries—if not exactly wealthy, he had at least achieved financial freedom. He never expected that while walking and reading a Naruto fan-fiction on his phone, he would be struck by a speeding cement truck. Upon waking, he found himself in a strange room and immediately had a bad premonition. As a hardcore novel enthusiast, according to the theories of web novels, being hit by a vehicle on the road meant he had likely transmigrated.

Sure enough, as soon as he raised his hand and saw that his palm had become small and covered in tiny scars, he scrambled to find a mirror. Only then did he realize he had become a thin, eight-year-old boy.

Adopting the mindset of "since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," and wanting to understand what kind of world he was in, Zhang Qing hurriedly checked the memories of this body. It turned out the original owner was named Masaki Uchiha. His parents had both died on the battlefield the previous year, and he had no siblings. Possessing excellent talent, he had trained desperately to seek revenge, but he had pushed himself too hard, placing too much burden on his body, and passed away in his sleep. That was how Zhang Qing had picked up the slack.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing understood. He had transmigrated into the world of Naruto. Fortunately, he was in the Uchiha Clan, and since the current time was Konoha Year 38, the future tragedy of the Uchiha could still be averted.

"Brother, I will fulfill your dying wish! In return, from now on, I am Masaki Uchiha!" Masaki Uchiha said to the mirror. "I will make the Uchiha Clan great again!"

The memory ended, and with a thought, a panel appeared in Masaki Uchiha's mind.

Death Aura LV: 9
Absorption Range: 5000 meters
Absorbed Energy: 51752/100000

The Death Aura was the cheat Masaki Uchiha brought with him from his transmigration. Its property was: within a certain range, if a ninja died, the aura would automatically absorb their essence and feed it back to the user, enhancing all their capabilities, including but not limited to ninjutsu, taijutsu, chakra, spiritual energy, energy recovery speed, and physical recovery speed.

The amount of energy absorbed depended on the level of the deceased ninja; the higher the level, the more energy absorbed, and vice versa.

To level up the aura, Masaki Uchiha had killed enemy ninjas desperately during the Third Shinobi World War. The aura's absorption range had grown from the initial 500 meters to 5000 meters by the end of the war. As he absorbed more energy on the battlefield, his own strength became increasingly formidable, earning him titles like "Scourge Ninja," "Tailed Beast Without a Tail," and "Undying Body," placing him alongside Minato Namikaze as the "Konoha Twin Stars" of the new generation.

Other enemy nations even issued orders: if their ninjas encountered either of these two while on a mission, they were permitted to abandon the mission without penalty.

As for his current strength, he could be called the strongest in Konoha, stronger than Minato Namikaze.

During the selection for the Fourth Hokage, Masaki Uchiha had sparred with Minato Namikaze.

Although they had stopped once the point was made, the result was a total victory for Masaki Uchiha!

While Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God speed was indeed fast, it was unfortunate that he had encountered the "hexagonal warrior"—Masaki Uchiha.

In terms of strength, speed, reaction time, physical fitness, and chakra, he surpassed Minato Namikaze in every aspect.

If not for the unique nature of the Flying Thunder God space-time ninjutsu, he could have taken Minato Namikaze's life within three moves.

It was only because the AB Duo of Kumogakure were lucky that they had encountered Minato Namikaze.

If they had encountered Masaki Uchiha, Kumogakure would have already had a Fifth Raikage by now.

As a transmigrator with a golden finger, Masaki Uchiha certainly couldn't lose face. He became a Genin at 5, a Chunin at 7, and a Jonin at 10, breaking the record for the youngest Jonin in Konoha. During the Third Shinobi World War, he had punched Rock ninjas and kicked Mist ninjas, and by 12, he had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. To this day, he had never tasted defeat in a battle against a peer.

Suddenly, Masaki Uchiha felt a stir in his heart. He reached out and performed a hand seal: "Summoning Jutsu!"

Poof.

As the smoke cleared, a small, snow-white snake was summoned. The snake suddenly opened its mouth, and a hoarse, gloomy voice emerged: "Masaki-kun, the things you wanted are ready. What about what I wanted?"

"The things you wanted have long been prepared, Senior Orochimaru," Masaki Uchiha said, looking at the little white snake with a smile. "However, I have one more deal. I wonder if Senior Orochimaru would be interested?"

"What deal?"
