Epic Entry, or Double Yolk?

The round fan was meant to illuminate the bright moon, but since the moon does not embrace me, I shall become a clan unto myself and shine through the ages. Greetings, readers, this is the repository for brain-mush.

Regarding the timeline of Naruto, it is quite chaotic, so some events have been adjusted to fit the plot. Just a heads-up.

Below is the main text.

"Two months left."

In the northeastern part of Konoha, in a residential area near the Konoha Military Police Force barracks.

Uchiha Hayato, dressed in a dark blue high-collared jacket with the red fan crest on the back, had just returned home after finishing his patrol.

He lifted his eyelids slightly to look at the calendar hanging in the living room.

The year before last, Konoha 51, was when the Nine-Tails Incident occurred.

However, what Hayato remembered was not that, but the fact that in two months—March of year 53—Orochimaru's human experiments were about to be exposed.

As for why he knew these things, it was because he had transmigrated here fourteen years ago.

He was born into the Uchiha clan, not into the family of Uchiha Fugaku or any of the elders, but into the family of an ordinary Uchiha clansman.

Back then, it was during the intermission of the Third Shinobi World War. His father, also a ninja, was drafted to the front lines shortly after Hayato was born, and as expected, he never returned.

His mother raised him alone, only to pass away the very year he entered the Ninja Academy.

After offering incense to the two memorial portraits in the living room, Hayato stood there blankly.

He appeared to be reminiscing, but in reality, he was already calculating his own arrangements.

If Orochimaru's human experiments were exposed in March, that would be his opportunity to use the chaos to flee the village.

He was currently a member of the Konoha Military Police Force, so he would likely be assigned to join the pursuit when the time came.

As long as I can seize this opportunity, I won't be slaughtered during the Uchiha Clan Downfall.

He muttered to himself, his eyes already turning a deep crimson, with a single tomoe spinning in each.

He had awakened the Sharingan when his mother died at the age of seven, a fact unknown to both the Uchiha clan and Konoha.

This power was not enough, or rather, while his body was Uchiha, his soul was not, which was why his Sharingan had never advanced.

However, he had been able to use this to participate in small-scale battles during the Third Shinobi World War a few years ago, barely surviving several ambushes.

After returning to the village, he was assigned by the clan to the Military Police Force.

He had been there for years, spending his days patrolling or making arrests.

It was a lot of busywork, but he held no real power.

One must know that the Uchiha Military Police Force's jurisdiction covered the security, judiciary, and fire prevention of all of Konoha.

Detention, interrogation, judicial rulings, and defense were all handled by those in the clan with higher status or those who had awakened the Sharingan.

Although he had awakened his Sharingan, he had never revealed it.

In the current Konoha and Uchiha, displaying talent meant having a Sword of Damocles hanging over one's head.

The village had Danzo and Orochimaru, and the future of the clan held a lunatic—Uchiha Itachi.

As long as I can escape, even if a bounty is placed on my head, at least it's a chance at survival.

Hayato's gaze darkened. Once he escaped, he could find ways to increase his strength.

Although he would be coveted for his Uchiha bloodline, it was still better than waiting in the village for the massacre.

In Konoha, everything was too troublesome.

Every promotion had its hoops to jump through, and Konoha required mission quotas to be met.

Within the Uchiha clan, it required time and personal contributions, forming a vicious cycle.

If he tried to gain the clan's support by revealing his strength, what would happen when the massacre came?

A single-tomoe Sharingan against Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō was simply a death sentence.

Did he really think he was Sasuke? That he could survive a "Pacific War"?

Shaking his head, Hayato grabbed his clothes and headed to the washroom. Thinking more was useless.

Regardless, he would seize the opportunity when Orochimaru defected. He had spent these years of patrolling learning Konoha's defenses and routes like the back of his hand.

As long as he acted when Konoha was in total disarray, he would be able to escape.

Once he was out, the world would be his to roam!

After washing up, Hayato took his clothes to the rooftop. Not far away were the Uchiha Military Police Force barracks.

This was the most peripheral location, and also the high ground within Konoha, from which one could overlook the entire village.

Far from the center of power, watching over the village.

Hayato suddenly let out a mocking laugh. The strategy adopted since the Second Hokage had turned the ideals held by Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama into a joke.

What were the ideals of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama back then?

'Mutual assistance, guarding Konoha together.'

Yet now, the Senju clan had vanished, and the Uchiha were pushed to the very edge of the cliff.

So-called ideals were nothing more than a joke.

[Ding--]

[Detected presence within the Land of the Covenant.]

[Covenant betrayed, Bitter Fruit Entry System, officially activated!]

Hayato froze in shock.

A thunderous roar erupted from the depths of his soul.

A cheat code?!

As a transmigrator, how could Hayato not know what a system was?

But these activation conditions were a bit too ridiculous, weren't they?

Being in the Land of the Covenant...

Hayato looked toward the distant, towering Hokage Rock with a puzzled expression. Wasn't that where Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were supposed to have struck their pact?

No, why think about that?

Check the system first. Having regained his composure, Hayato immediately went downstairs.

[Bitter Fruit Entry System]

Core Rules:

Harvest all the bitter fruit in the world born of regret, sin, betrayal, and ruin to extract entries and exchange them for power.

The deeper the regret and the more shattered the oath, the richer the bitter fruit.

[Currently harvestable: Epic-level Bitter Fruit Entries]

[Hashirama: Shattered Covenant Bitter Fruit]

[Extractable entries: Sage Body Foundation (accelerated wound healing), Wood Release Affinity (trace).]

[Madara: Betrayal Regret Bitter Fruit]

[Extractable entries: Sharingan awakening probability increase, Uchiha bloodline purity increase 10%, Killing Intent Pressure.]

Epic entries, and a double-yolk at that?

It was just a pity he could only choose one from each; that was too few.

Hayato struggled to calm the surging emotions within him; at this moment, his heart was filled with a sense of security.

An unprecedented sense of security, something he had never felt in these fourteen years.

This cheat was worth it!

"Extract."

"For the Hashirama: Shattered Covenant Bitter Fruit, I choose Sage Body Foundation. For the Madara: Betrayal Regret Bitter Fruit, I choose Uchiha bloodline purity increase 10%!"

Boom!

As Hayato confirmed his choice, a surge of majestic vitality poured directly into his body, while the concentration of his Uchiha bloodline began to take effect.

Hayato slowly stood up straight and hurried to the washroom.

He looked at the two-tomoe Sharingan reflected in the mirror and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"I... can finally stand tall!"

Taking a deep breath, Hayato felt his entire body cheering, as if welcoming a new life.

On the system panel, two rich purple entries were glowing brilliantly.

[Bitter Fruit Entry System]

[Current entries: Sage Body Foundation, Uchiha bloodline purity increase 10%]

He raised his hand and clenched his fist. Although he had chosen options that enhanced his foundation rather than providing an immediate boost in combat power, Hayato was certain of one thing.

The current him could easily crush his former self!
