System

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the "Possession on the Night of the Clan Massacre" achievement! You have successfully awakened the Visualized Stat-Point System. Would you like to enable the binding immediately?]

A system notification echoed in his mind, and Uchiha Sasuke smiled.

Ignoring whether anyone was eavesdropping nearby, he spoke directly into the void before him:

"Enable binding immediately!..."

[Ding! Binding successful! Congratulations, host! You may now view your cultivation progress at any time through your thoughts.]

"Hm, not bad, this is the real deal..."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and slowly stood up.

He did not rush to inspect his cheat system in the rain, choosing instead to return home and change into clean clothes first.

He took some necessary daily supplies along the way before finally settling down.

The smell of blood drifted into his nostrils, mixing with the scent of grass and trees unique to a rainy day; it smelled incredibly jarring.

After grabbing a few simple items, Uchiha Sasuke dared not step back into the house filled with corpses.

Suppressing his physical discomfort, he calmly hid under the eaves.

At the same time, with a shift of his thoughts, the system interface appeared intelligently before Uchiha Sasuke's eyes:

Name: Uchiha Sasuke.

Affiliation: Land of Fire, Konoha Hidden Village.

Level: 2 (12/400).

Stat Points: 2 (Note: Used to directly consume and improve the bound user's stats.)

Skill Points: 2 (Note: Used to directly consume and improve the bound user's skill levels.)

Stat Bar, Skill Bar...

Seeing this, Uchiha Sasuke clearly felt that the stat and skill bars must have been collapsed.

Thus, with a flick of his mind, a whole new world opened up behind the two bars, instantly appearing before his eyes:

Stat Bar: Constitution: 5. Agility: 4. Intelligence: 1. Charisma: 9.

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned the moment he saw this.

Constitution should be related to chakra volume; it was common knowledge that the Uchiha lacked mana, so he accepted that.

Agility should be related to taijutsu; he was still just a child and not fully developed, so he let that slide as well.

But this Intelligence: 1... what on earth was going on?

Could it be that the original Sasuke, before he took over this body, was a complete idiot?

At this thought, Uchiha Sasuke's mouth twitched visibly as he muttered to himself:

"Truly worthy of being 'Sasuke the Second,' this intelligence stat is certainly realistic enough..."

But on second thought, Uchiha Sasuke smiled again:

"To have a charisma score of nine at such a young age, it seems I, Sasuke, am still handsome. As for being a moron, now that I have the system, I can completely make up for it later!..."

After finishing the stat bar, Uchiha Sasuke turned his gaze to the skill bar:

[Substitution Jutsu: Level 1.]

[Transformation Jutsu: Level 1.]

[Clone Jutsu: Level 1.]

[Chakra Control: Level 1.]

[Taijutsu: Level 1.]

[Genjutsu: Level 2.]

[Shurikenjutsu: Level 2.]

"The Three Basic Jutsu are all Level 1, while Genjutsu is Level 2. It seems this is inseparable from the achievement of just awakening my Sharingan."

"As for Shurikenjutsu, I suppose it's related to the hunting I used to do with Itachi?..."

Seeing this, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly noticed a row of small text that seemed to have appeared in the bottom right corner of the system.

Driven by curiosity, he shifted his thoughts, and the next moment, that row of text indeed changed slightly:

(Note: Levels 1–2 are approximately equal to Genin, 3–4 to Chunin, 5–6 to Jonin, 7–8 to Kage-level, and 9–10 are comparable to the Sage of Six Paths...)

"Damn! I almost missed the most critical part!"

"With such an important reference standard, you actually hid it in the corner, system? Were you afraid I'd be heartbroken after seeing it?..."

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth, but the system remained indifferent to his anger.

In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Sasuke cast his previous displeasure to the back of his mind. Looking at the notes before him, he felt his blood boiling:

"Levels 9–10 are the Sage of Six Paths level. Now that I have this visualized system, combined with the massive information gap from being a transmigrator, is the day I dominate the ninja world really that far off?..."

"Hahaha..."

With this thought in mind, Sasuke rose to his full height and let out a long, skyward howl, looking every bit like a madman.

Although the scene appeared incredibly abrupt, he could no longer suppress his excitement.

He had transmigrated here from Earth.

Before this, he never would have dreamed that while watching Naruto at home, he would inexplicably transmigrate along with a system!

Even more bizarrely, the first system mission he received was to possess the young Sasuke of this ninja world!

And it had to be on the night of the Uchiha clan's massacre, of all times!

The most ridiculous part was that his real name back on Earth was also Sasuke!

Actually, regarding his name, he had discussed it with his family before.

He only remembered that his father had originally wanted to name him Zuo Ritian, signifying a life as glorious as the midday sun.

But that same day, he heard that his grandmother had consulted a feng shui master, who said he lacked "yin virtue" in his destiny and that he needed to perform many good deeds and be helpful in this life.

Thus, his name successfully changed from Zuo Ritian to the current Sasuke.

Back in school, because of this name, Sasuke was often mocked by his classmates, who nicknamed him "Second Pillar."

Ironically, now that he had transmigrated into the Naruto world, he had truly and accidentally become the real "Second Pillar"!

Is all of this really just a coincidence?...

Sasuke did not know.

But as he gazed at the system panel projected into the void, a grin of excitement curled at the corners of his mouth.

He knew that nothing else mattered.

What mattered was that he would leave his mark on this ninja world.

The entire ninja world would become infinitely more exciting because of the appearance of this brand-new Sasuke!

After a brief moment of narcissistic indulgence, Sasuke suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned his gaze to the "Achievements" tab at the very bottom.

[Achievement: Possession. (1/∞).]

[Achievement Reward: +1 (Locked).]

Could it be that achievements can be unlocked infinitely, and unlocking them grants system rewards?...

Looking at the symbol representing infinity behind the achievement, Sasuke felt as if he would melt if he stared at it any longer.

Without hesitation, he shouted recklessly into the void once more:

"System, unlock the achievement reward!"

[Ding! Achievement reward successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!]

"That hits the spot..."

Sasuke wasn't surprised to draw the Fireball Jutsu; after all, it was the Uchiha clan's signature technique.

It was just a bit annoying that it never seemed to actually kill anyone...

"It seems it's time to leave this place. I trust Konoha will send people to clear this place out by tomorrow morning..."

Without realizing it, Sasuke had stayed up all night.

Watching the dawn break on the horizon, he stopped dragging his feet, turned around, and began to scavenge through the Uchiha compound one by one.

Sasuke's mind was clear.

The Uchiha clan being wiped out in a single night meant that from this moment on, he was a child without a backer.

Therefore, at this moment, he could only rely on himself.

And having parachuted in from Earth, he was not the chuunibyou version of the "Second Pillar."

He understood a cruel and realistic answer.

That is, a person cannot be without money!

The same applied to ninjas!

"Heh, this much money should be enough for me to make it out of the Konoha starter village..."

After his search, a satisfied smile appeared on Sasuke's youthful face.

His body slightly hunched, carrying a sack as tall as a person on his back, he disappeared step by step into the morning mist while the sky was still dark.
