Naruto: Forcing Me to Join the Akatsuki? Do You Have the Strength?

Xuanyu figured he was done for in this life!

The prodigy of his clan awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan at thirteen. Meanwhile, Xuanyu was eighteen, and his eyes were still perfectly clear-not the slightest sign of red-eye syndrome.

Some ninja start life as Roman nobility. Others start as pack mules on their knees.

Xuanyu had only two paths before him.

Either report that unfilial weasel, Itachi, to the clan head, or wait for Itachi to slit his throat on the night of the clan massacre.

Xuanyu chose a third path: defect from Leaf Village and head to the abandoned district where the ninja cats lived.

One small step for Xuanyu, one giant leap for hard work and sweat.

Through hard work-okay, not really-Xuanyu could crank up his stats like crazy. Spending money let him boost his attributes and even upgrade his ninjutsu.

And so, Xuanyu achieved enlightenment!

All fear stems from not working hard enough! Put in enough sweat, and even Kaguya gets wrecked!

Since there was no limit to hard work, he, Uchiha Genba, was absolutely going to become the ninja world's ultimate stat monster!

What? Upgrade a ninjutsu to Lv. 10, and it undergoes a qualitative transformation, gaining special effects?

Come on, what did that poor ninjutsu ever do wrong? Why make it bear such unbearably overwhelming power?!

Many years later, recalling their battle, Kaguya Otsutsuki had this to say: "In principle, I can defeat Xuanyu. Unfortunately, Xuanyu now holds the principles."
