I, Uchiha Makoto, Am Exceptionally Gifted, Not Using Cheats! System, Come On!

Uchiha clan grounds.

Inside the underground chamber of Naka Shrine.

Uchiha Makoto and Uchiha Fugaku sat facing each other.

"Makoto, these two scrolls contain the forbidden techniques of our Uchiha clan—Izanagi and Izanami."

"I'm handing them over to you today. Remember, you must use them with utmost caution!"

Uchiha Fugaku took two scrolls from a hidden compartment and handed them to Yusuke.

By tradition, these two forbidden ocular techniques had always been controlled by the successive heads of the Uchiha clan.

"Mm."

Uchiha Makoto accepted the scrolls. Before he could even open them, Uchiha Fugaku handed him two more boxes.

"Brother-in-law, these...?"

Uchiha Makoto took the boxes and looked at Uchiha Fugaku in confusion. He knew about those two forbidden techniques, but what were these?

Fugaku waved a hand. "The Grand Elder asked me to pass these on to you. They were items safeguarded by the Grand Elders throughout the generations. I heard they're secret treasures that can only be used with the Mangekyō Sharingan. But as far as I know, no one has been able to use them for a hundred years. Take them back and give them a try. I don't even know what kind of treasures they are."

"Brother-in-law, these wouldn't happen to be the Sword of Totsuka and the Yata Mirror, would they?"

"How did you know that, kid?"

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's astonished expression, Uchiha Makoto stared at the two boxes with growing fervor.

Dear nephew, you're still too young. Your uncle will keep these safe for you first!

Hehehe!

"Remember, don't become reliant on Izanagi like Senior Baru and the others. That will only lead to chaos! Our Uchiha clan does not have a second Uchiha Juri."

As they walked outside, Uchiha Fugaku lectured him earnestly.

"Don't worry, Brother-in-law. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"Mm."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded with considerable trust. Uchiha Makoto had always been reliable and thorough in his work. Those words were enough.

"Alright, let's go. I need to seal the entrance."

Suddenly, a pair of long legs appeared behind Uchiha Makoto.

"Uchiha Makoto!"

Uchiha Makoto jumped in fright and quickly raised both hands high, giving a French military salute.

Then he realized he had not done anything wrong today. He promptly turned around and took the woman's hand before him.

"Big sis~"

"Alright, alright. Aren't you embarrassed by that?"

Uchiha Mikoto rolled her pretty eyes, pulled her hand free, and casually wiped it on Uchiha Fugaku's clothes.

"When did you awaken the Mangekyō? And why did you suddenly make it public?"

"If you ask me, you should have kept it hidden all along! It wouldn't have been too late to reveal it when you actually encountered danger."

Listening to Uchiha Mikoto's nagging, Uchiha Makoto smiled sheepishly and hurriedly agreed.

Did he really need to keep it hidden?

Yes!

And he needed to hide more than one move!

Most ninja only had one specialty. With suitable teammates to cooperate with them, it was perfectly normal to slaughter their enemies with ease. The Ino-Shika-Cho formation was an obvious example.

Besides, having intelligence and lacking intelligence were completely different matters.

Take Pain from the original story, for instance. If Jiraiya had known that Pain possessed Yin-Yang Release and the various abilities of the Rinnegan, he would not have died so... casually.

With Jiraiya's abilities, even if he had fought head-on, he could at least have taken half of them down with him.

That was why it was still necessary for a ninja to keep some techniques hidden.

Unfortunately, the current situation did not suit him keeping them concealed.

The system was a family system, but what he had done in the past had already been enough to satisfy the Uchiha clan's current needs.

And the ninja world was a world with supernatural powers, where the strong wielded overwhelming might.

Whether it was binding the system or his explosive growth in strength, neither had been within his expectations.

Uchiha Makoto's gaze darkened. He did not know how much use the preparations he had made before would still be.

"Don't worry, Big Sis! My ocular technique can control all kinds of chakra around me. They can't hit me!" Uchiha Makoto flicked his hand, looking utterly unconcerned.

"What about your other ocular technique? Is it still developing?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.

"Not exactly. It's just that this technique is rather special. At this stage, it requires a huge amount of chakra. It'll be fine later."

Uchiha Makoto glanced at Mikoto, then looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

"Don't believe me? Why don't you try it?"

Uchiha Fugaku waved his hands repeatedly.

"Ah, forget it, forget it. I can't beat a Mangekyō."

Seeing that Uchiha Mikoto was still frowning slightly, Uchiha Makoto changed his approach.

"Big Sis, if you don't believe me, don't you believe in my brother-in-law's strength? He's an elite jonin, Fugaku of the 'Ferocious Eyes'!"

Hearing Uchiha Makoto's words, Uchiha Mikoto nodded somewhat hesitantly.

Uchiha Makoto secretly let out a sigh of relief. When he turned around, he saw Uchiha Fugaku's broad face right in front of him.

"What is it, Brother-in-law? What's with that expression?"

"Nothing. It's just that you said you can control chakra. Then could you control senjutsu chakra too...?"

Makoto raised a brow, gave him a look, and said,

"I don't know. After all, I also..."

Before Uchiha Makoto could finish speaking, he heard a familiar system notification.

[ding, congratulations to the host for completing the system mission. Reward: 1,000 points.

Ding, congratulations, host. The system shop has successfully opened.]

Hearing this, Uchiha Makoto immediately perked up. After saying goodbye, he turned and left.

Back home.

After closing the doors and windows, he opened the shop.

Imagine opening with Eight Extremities Collapse, following up with Six Directions Wandering Body Ruler, using Three Thousand Lightning Movements to circle behind you, then giving you a Heavenly Emperor Fist. Tell me, how would you take that? Even an Ōtsutsuki would tremble twice!

Heh, isn't that stronger than an Ōtsutsuki elbow strike followed by an Uchiha bear hug?

Just thinking about it made him feel powerful.

Then,

"System, why are there only things from the ninja world in here?"

He admitted that there were indeed quite a few good things in the shop, but why were they all from the ninja world? Even among the senjutsu of the Three Great Sage Regions, there was only Mount Myōboku's!

[Ding, first, this system is 'Family Rise.' The items included in the system shop are all based on the family's level.

Second, if the host has any needs that are currently unavailable in the shop, they may report them to this system. Within the limits permitted by the host's points, the system can fulfill the host's needs.]

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Makoto's thoughts stalled.

So, was the Uchiha clan too weak?

The three tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly, transforming into the shape of the Mangekyō.

Then... should he start making moves ahead of time?

Summoning Technique: Lightning Sword Transformation!

With a bang, a sealing scroll appeared in Uchiha Makoto's hand.

He opened the scroll, confirmed that there were no mistakes, then sealed the letter on the table inside.

Bang!

The scroll turned into smoke and vanished into the air.

"In a few days, I should be able to leave the village. I originally planned to put this into action after the Third Shinobi World War broke out, but plans can't keep up with changes."

As he spoke, Uchiha Makoto touched his right eye.

If he could not leave the village, who knew how long it would take to accumulate enough chakra to nurture his ocular technique.

Not to mention points!

At that moment, a figure appeared at the entrance to the house.

"Clan Head, Yakushi Nono has come to visit!"

Meanwhile.

Inside a mysterious cave somewhere in the Land of Grass.

"Lord Madara! Lord Madara!"

Hearing the calls by his ear, Madara Uchiha slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Spiral White Zetsu calling to him.

"Lord Madara, a new Mangekyō Sharingan has appeared in the Uchiha clan..."

Listening to Spiral White Zetsu's words, Madara Uchiha half-closed his eyes and leaned against the stone behind him, seemingly uninterested.

"Mm."
