A Turnaround Betrayal of Sasuke's Younger Brother

"Yes!"

In an instant, Uchiha Yu's originally frail frame bulked up, and his skin took on a faint luster.

An endless surge of vitality erupted from within Uchiha Yu's body!

"Nani?"

What surprised Uchiha Yu most was that he could finally sense the presence of chakra!

It hadn't been easy!

Tears streamed down Uchiha Yu's face!

Chakra poured out from Uchiha Yu's body in a continuous stream!

His body, which had never been nourished by chakra before, began to tremble violently.

"Such powerful chakra! Is this the Hashirama Sage Body?"

Uchiha Yu was somewhat astonished; his current chakra reserves might even surpass those of the top students at the Ninja Academy!

He might even be several times stronger than Iruka!

Even Uzumaki Naruto might not be his match!

Furthermore, this vigorous vitality made Uchiha Yu feel as though all his fatigue had been swept away.

"The Hashirama Sage Body should have incredible self-healing abilities, right?"

Uchiha Yu casually picked up a paper cutter from the table and sliced a small cut into his arm.

Before even a drop of blood could flow out, it healed instantly!

"What the...?"

Uchiha Yu couldn't believe it; he picked up the paper cutter and sliced again.

"What the...?"

"What the...?"

"What the...!!!"

After slicing a dozen times, his arm didn't even bear a tiny scratch.

It was as smooth as before!

The endless chakra within his body continued to surge forth.

It felt as if it were inexhaustible!

"As expected of the Sage Body; whether it's chakra, self-healing, or strength, everything far exceeds my peers. As I am now, I might even be able to trade blows with Iruka."

Uchiha Yu stretched his body, feeling that he was even more formidable than he had previously imagined.

"In less than a year, the Uchiha Clan Downfall will occur. Now that I have the system, I will definitely be able to turn the tide!"

Uchiha Yu took a deep breath.

After all, he was a member of the Uchiha clan.

If the entire clan were wiped out, it would only be a disaster for him.

According to the original plot, only three people with Uchiha blood would remain.

Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uchiha Obito.

Since he had become Uchiha Itachi's younger brother, he didn't know if Uchiha Itachi would spare him just as he had spared Uchiha Sasuke.

But Uchiha Yu did not want his life to be in someone else's hands!

Now that he had the system, he was determined to turn the tide!

"Relying on the Sage Body alone won't be enough; I must become stronger myself!"

Uchiha Yu took a deep breath and opened the notes on the Three Body Technique he had learned at the Ninja Academy.

The Three Body Technique consisted of the Shadow Clone Technique, the Body Replacement Technique, and the Transformation Technique.

These could be considered the fundamental skills of a ninja.

Even so, Uchiha Yu had previously been unable to even refine chakra, so he had remained completely clueless.

But things were different now! Uchiha Yu possessed the Sage Body!

The chakra within him was no weaker than that of a Tailed Beast!

After an afternoon of practice, combined with his own innate talent, he had already mastered the Three Body Technique.

He walked over to the mirror and watched as he transformed into the likeness of Uchiha Itachi.

He spun around; there were no flaws.

"Not bad." Uchiha Yu's lips curled upward slightly. "Little brother Sasuke, here I come!"

Uchiha Training Ground.

Sasuke, drenched in sweat, collapsed onto the ground.

The wooden stake opposite was riddled with shuriken.

At the Ninja Academy, Sasuke was also hailed as a genius.

This had no small connection to his own hard work.

Uchiha Yu, who had become Uchiha Itachi, walked up to Sasuke.

"My foolish little brother... Sasuke, your big brother needs to tell you something." Uchiha Yu cleared his throat and spoke.

Seeing "Uchiha Itachi" arrive, Sasuke immediately stood up.

"Big Brother, what happened?"

"Well, you remember the pocket money I gave you this morning, right?" Uchiha Yu lowered his voice.

Since Uchiha Fugaku had given Uchiha Itachi New Year's money, he surely wouldn't have left Sasuke out.

After all, they were only a day apart in age.

Uchiha Sasuke nodded as expected and said, "Yeah, you gave me five thousand ryo! I couldn't bear to spend it! What's wrong, Brother?"

Five thousand ryo?

Uchiha Yu couldn't help but sigh; Uchiha Fugaku really didn't play favorites!

Little brother! I'm sorry!

"I've been thinking, it's better if I keep that money for you," Uchiha Yu said, suppressing a smirk. "You know, attending the Ninja Academy is an expense, buying you shuriken and kunai for training is also an expense, and when you grow up, you'll need to get married—that's no small cost either!"

"I'll hold onto your pocket money for you, and I'll return it to you when you're all grown up."

Uchiha Sasuke froze, his eyes widening.

What the hell?

He just gave him the money this morning, and he wants to take it back this afternoon?

Is he playing games?

"Big Brother, you aren't just broke and trying to scam me, are you?" Uchiha Sasuke looked at him with an expression of distrust.

"How could that be!" Uchiha Yu feigned impatience. "Every time I go on a mission now, I make tens of thousands of ryo at the very least! Why would I have my eyes on your pittance? I'm doing this for your own good!"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, finally reassured. After all, Uchiha Itachi was already a member of the Anbu; a single A-rank mission could net him over a hundred thousand, or even several hundred thousand.

How could he possibly care about this five thousand ryo?

"That's true, you're not my second brother, you wouldn't do something like that!" Sasuke pulled out his wallet with peace of mind and handed it to Uchiha Yu.

Uchiha Yu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood right then and there.

Is there any other brother like you?

Talking behind your second brother's back to your big brother!

In an instant, Uchiha Yu's sense of guilt vanished completely.

He took the wallet and counted it; five thousand ryo exactly!

"Alright, I'm off to a mission, see you another day!"

Uchiha Yu immediately fled this place of trouble.

"Convert five thousand ryo into Krypton Gold Value!"

"Ding! Successfully converted five thousand ryo into Krypton Gold Value! A processing fee of 1 Krypton Gold Value was deducted! Current balance: 4 Krypton Gold Value!"

As expected, he still needed Krypton Gold Value!

"Triple draw!"

Uchiha Yu thought for a moment and decided to keep 1 Krypton Gold Value in reserve.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Konoha-Style Taijutsu Mastery!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining A-rank Fire Style Mastery!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Kunai x10!"

Although he had received ten pieces of junk kunai, the Konoha-Style Taijutsu and A-rank Fire Style Mastery were quite sweet.

Combined with the Sage Body, Konoha-Style Taijutsu could produce excellent results.

The A-rank Fire Style Mastery also filled the gap in Uchiha Yu's ninjutsu repertoire.

"Not bad! Just like this! The stronger, the better!" Uchiha Yu laughed.

No loss at all! Besides, it wasn't his own money he was spending!

The next day, at the Ninja Academy.

A reborn Uchiha Yu sat in the classroom.

Sasuke, sitting beside him, didn't notice anything unusual and waited quietly for Iruka to come and start the lesson.

Iruka walked into the classroom and said to everyone with a smile.

"Today we are having a practical combat lesson! Everyone, please follow me to the Training Ground!"

Practical combat class, as the name suggests, was for ninja students to challenge one another and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

At this moment, a yellow-haired boy with a spiky head stood up.

"Iruka-sensei! Let me go first!"

Uzumaki Naruto was brimming with excitement as he adjusted his goggles.

"What a joke, just a dead last..." Sasuke crossed his arms and shook his head.

Iruka nodded with a smile, "Alright! Then for the first match, let's have Uzumaki Naruto challenge Uchiha Yu!"

Uchiha Yu: "???"

I was just sitting here minding my own business! Why is this trouble falling on me out of nowhere!
