The next day, sunlight filtered through the ancient treetops of the Uchiha Residence, dappling the flagstones below.

Liuli and Sasuke, the two siblings, slowly made their way back from Konoha Hospital. Their steps were heavy, as if they carried the sorrow of the entire Uchiha Clan.

Uchiha Ruri was dressed in the Uchiha Clan's traditional clothing. The clan's Gunbai crest on her back gleamed in the sunlight, as if telling the story of their former glory.

Sasuke was still young, but there was already a hint of boldness in his features.

He stuck close to Liuli, as if, in this unfamiliar world, his older sister was his only source of support.

The night before, while preparing to sleep at Konoha Hospital, she had carefully assessed the situation. She knew this was an era ruled by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, while the crafty Danzo lurked in the shadows of the Konoha High Command, manipulating some unknown scheme.

She knew the Uchiha Clan had been completely wiped out. Aside from her and Sasuke, there were also Obito and Itachi. No other clan members had survived.

On the way back, Liuli could clearly hear the villagers of Konoha gossiping.

They talked about the Uchiha Clan's destruction and about Liuli and Sasuke's identities.

Their voices were sharp and grating, like countless needlepoints stabbing into young Sasuke's heart. He pressed his lips together, trying not to let his emotions show.

Liuli saw it, and it hurt her. She knew exactly how much the gossip was hurting Sasuke.

Although she had come from another world and didn't feel much attachment to this one, Sasuke was different. At the end of the day, he was only six or seven years old—and the Uchiha Clan's last surviving bloodline.

She gently placed a hand on his shoulder and gave it a soft squeeze.

At that moment, Sasuke seemed to feel the warmth and comfort of his older sister. His eyes grew slightly moist.

In Sasuke's eyes, Liuli's gentle image only became more vivid.

Seeing his tearful eyes, she reached out and gently patted him on the head.

Sasuke's hair was soft and smooth, a delight to touch. Liuli couldn't help smiling, and some of her worry eased.

Honestly, little Sasuke was so pleasant to pet. He wasn't as rebellious as he would be later, either. Looking at him made her feel both sorry for him and heartbroken.

Before long, they arrived at the Uchiha Estate. The once-glorious residence was now shrouded in desolation. Just last night, bodies had been strewn across the place, and the faint smell of blood still seemed to linger in the air.

But now, aside from the loneliness and desolation, not a trace remained.

Liuli gazed at the empty estate and marveled at how quickly Konoha's corpse disposal team had cleaned up.

"All right, Sasuke. We're home," Liuli said softly, breaking the silence between them.

She pushed open the Uchiha Estate's heavy front gate. A gentle breeze brushed her face, dispelling the chill that lingered beyond the entrance.

Sasuke followed Liuli inside, his gaze wandering over the surroundings. Every brick and tile, every blade of grass and every tree felt familiar yet strange to him.

This had once been his home, where he and his clan had lived. Now, only he and Liuli remained.

"Go practice your chakra for a while. I'll take you to school tomorrow." Liuli's words interrupted Sasuke's thoughts. She gently stroked his head, trying to offer him comfort and encouragement.

The word "home" struck a deep chord in Sasuke.

He lowered his head and fell silent, his hands clenched into fists as if he were trying to suppress the turmoil and pain inside him.

"Sasuke, keep training hard. Don't forget to eat, and don't forget to get revenge." Liuli spoke simply and directly. Her voice was gentle, yet filled with conviction and strength, as if telling Sasuke that no matter what difficulties he faced, he had to keep going.

Sasuke nodded at his sister's words. "I understand, Big Sister Liuli."

His voice was low, but filled with determination. He knew he had to train hard and grow stronger if he wanted to avenge the Uchiha Clan.

At the same time, he knew he couldn't lose himself in hatred. He had to learn to take care of himself so his sister wouldn't worry.

Liuli looked at Sasuke, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. That was the future Sasuke, all right.

After parting with Sasuke, she went to the training room. Uchiha Ruri sat quietly in a corner, her eyes closed as she felt the chakra flowing through her body.

It was a strange and wondrous feeling, the novelty of trying to train for the first time.

In her perception, chakra was like countless thin streams, welling up without end from deep within her body. They flowed through her limbs and every part of her, then gathered into a powerful force.

"An elite Chunin isn't strong enough. I won't survive in the Naruto World like this," she murmured, her voice filled with deep concern.

After a modern person experienced the fun of training, it quickly lost its appeal.

Liuli's eyes suddenly lit up. Two Tomoe slowly appeared, giving off a faint glow.

She activated her Sharingan and felt that powerful force surge through her body. "The Sharingan. This is the Uchiha Clan's power," she murmured.

"With a two-Tomoe Sharingan and elite Chunin strength, who could stand against me? I can't even enter the Fourth Shinobi World War instance. I'm nothing more than an insignificant puppet."

She muttered to herself, feeling her strength increase, yet still convinced it wasn't enough.

"Sigh. I'm still far too weak. I have to become even stronger."

"The original owner's identity as a big-dicked cutie is certainly interesting." Feeling the chakra flowing through her body, she was glad that part was still there.

Liuli knew it was a symbol of manhood. She could present herself as an elegant, refined woman to others, but inside, she had to retain a man's essence.

"Fire, wind, and lightning chakra natures are acceptable, but the original owner..."

Elite Chunins were usually minor figures who led small organizations, but as the Uchiha Clan's young lady, she had the authority to refuse routine missions outside the village.

"Sasuke is still training, and we have enough for daily life. At least the old Third left us a good chunk of money. He's got some conscience, after all."

"It's a shame that so many Sharingan were taken by that old thief Danzo. I can't even play around with them."

As she continued thinking about the situation, the image of a basket appeared in Liuli's mind.

The sudden vision left her stunned for a moment. Liuli curiously examined the strange sensation the image of the basket gave her.

"Ding! Your cheat has arrived. The Insight Battle Realm System has been bound to its host."

"Holy crap, the cheat's finally here!" Liuli exclaimed. "Having a cheat is so much better. There's no way I'm training otherwise."
