Chapter 1

Ugh, what a headache.

Glancing sideways at the row beside him, he saw a little brat putting on a cool act. Looking ahead, there was another dumb-looking fool. Lin Yi lay sprawled across his desk, feeling utterly miserable.

That was right. He, Lin Yi, was one of the countless transmigrators.

By all rights, didn't transmigrating mean he was about to embark on an awesome life?

But heaven had played a joke on him—he had landed in the world of Naruto!

And that wasn't even the worst part. What truly drove him to despair was that he had become a member of the Uchiha Clan.

Sounded pretty glorious, didn't it? The Sharingan—that thing was insanely powerful!

But the problem was—he was only six years old!!!

When he had first figured out what was going on, Lin Yi had been quite excited.

The Sharingan!

If he could develop this thing, he would be able to swagger around like all those overpowered bastards!

But...

He raised his eyes to look at the two little guys, and his heart sank again.

Because these two were Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, both the same age as him.

Lin Yi remembered it clearly: Sasuke was seven on the night the Uchiha Clan was massacred.

In other words, one year from now, he would be cut down with a single blade by Itachi.

With his current strength, he was fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

But he refused to accept that!

After finally getting a chance to transmigrate, Lin Yi did not want to die here just like that. No. No matter what, I have to survive. I need to find a way!

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, roaring inwardly.

Just then, a sudden "ding" sounded in his mind, and a voice emerged. "System charging complete. Ultimate Sharingan System loaded successfully!"

What the hell?

A system?

His insanely awesome cheat had finally decided to show itself?

Lin Yi's eyes lit up as an attribute panel visible only to him flashed before his eyes.

Host: Uchiha Yi

Extreme Sharingan: Level 0 (0/10). An Extreme Sharingan with limitless potential for evolution. Current level: 0. Not yet unlocked.

Skills: None

Level 0 Evaluation: Kid, you're just a weakling right now. You barely have any chakra, and you're pathetic!

Lin Yi was instantly fired up, his eyes gleaming. The next second, another attribute panel visible only to him popped up before him.

Name: Uchiha Yi

Extreme Sharingan: Level 0 (0/10)—this thing can evolve without limit. It's currently only Level 0, and the eyes haven't even been activated.

Skills: None

Evaluation: Kid, you're nothing but a scrub right now. You only have a tiny bit of chakra. You're way too weak!

So come on, young man. Give it your all!

Seeing the panel, Uchiha Yi was beside himself with excitement.

Extreme Sharingan?

A Sharingan capable of infinite evolution?

Wasn't this an instant takeoff?

But the next second, his expression froze.

What the hell was with that evaluation?

A scrub? Way too weak?

Uchiha Yi's mind went blank. Why did he feel like he had gotten a fake system? "System, explain yourself," he called out in his mind, suppressing his excitement.

Ding!

"This system is the Ultimate Sharingan System, capable of limitless evolution. After leveling up, you will obtain the corresponding Sharingan powers."

"Then can I get all kinds of insanely powerful skills?"

"No."

"What about god-tier divine artifacts?"

"Also no."

"Then... can I just shake my kingly aura and recruit a bunch of lackeys, while picking up loads of beautiful women?"

"Host, stop thinking about such nonsense. This system is only responsible for allowing your Sharingan to evolve infinitely. It is not responsible for anything else."

Damn it!

All of Uchiha Yi's excitement vanished, leaving only a curse stuck in his throat.

No skills, no equipment, no aura.

It looked like he could not ascend to the heavens in a single step and resolve the crisis of that massacre night after all...

"Then can you let me evolve the Rinnegan?" he asked another way.

If I can't do it in one step, then surely giving me the Rinnegan directly is fine, right?

"To evolve the Rinnegan, you must raise the Extreme Sharingan to Level 6."

"Damn, Level 6 is already the Rinnegan? Then won't Levels 7 and 8 blow a hole through the heavens?" Uchiha Yi abruptly sat up straight. "That's right. Not only can the Extreme Sharingan surpass the ordinary Sharingan of the Naruto world, but once it evolves to a certain level, it can even blow up the heavens."

Uchiha Yi fell silent.

I only said that casually. It can really blow up the heavens?

He hurriedly said, "System, level me up already!"

"The Extreme Sharingan levels up through proficiency. Once proficiency is full, the host may choose to level up. Current level: 0. No tomoe. You must collect 10 points of proficiency before you can level up."

Proficiency?

Uchiha Yi understood. The number on the panel was proficiency.

Without proficiency, the Sharingan could not level up at all. "Then how do I gain proficiency?" he pressed.

The system's reply nearly made him collapse. "How to obtain proficiency is for the host to figure out on your own."

Figure it out myself?

Figure out my ass!

Uchiha Yi nearly cursed aloud. The system fell silent, ignoring him no matter how he called for it.

But soon, a thought flashed through his mind. Wait—Level 0, no-tomoe Sharingan?

He recalled the information written on the panel.

Level 0 meant the eyes had not been activated, but it still counted as a Sharingan, right? Then...

Could he use it?

Would proficiency increase as he kept using it?

The moment he thought of that, warmth returned to Uchiha Yi's heart.

"Let's try it and see if it works."

Uchiha Yi had long understood the Sharingan's basic applications. Within the Uchiha Clan, such things were not secrets at all—they were even introductory skills every clan member had to master.

The facts proved that his guess was completely right.

A Sharingan without tomoe still counted as a kind of Sharingan. It simply had not been fully activated yet.

In that instant, he clearly felt it—after chakra flowed into his eyes, his entire field of vision changed.

The surrounding scenery seemed to have been pulled several times closer, while the teacher's gestures and movements at the podium became sluggishly slow.

Though the change was not dramatic, he could genuinely feel it.

I activated my eyes?

Uchiha Yi's heart shook, but he quickly realized what was happening.

He should have successfully activated them.

But his eyes were not ordinary Sharingan. They were Extreme Sharingan.

Three minutes passed before he finally heard the sound he had been waiting for.

Ding!

"Proficiency +1. Current proficiency: 1 point!"

It worked.

His proficiency had really started to rise!

Uchiha Yi was overjoyed, but then his eye sockets began to ache, and his whole body went limp, as though all strength had been drained from him.

His chakra was depleted!

Even a no-tomoe Sharingan could only be maintained for three minutes—such was the amount of chakra he currently possessed.

But he did not care about that at all.

Three minutes for one point of proficiency. Didn't that mean that as long as he held out for thirty minutes, his Sharingan could reach Level 1 and officially awaken?

"Damn, at this rate, it won't be long before I awaken my eyes. I might even reach two tomoe, and three tomoe isn't impossible either."

"Maybe I can even get the Mangekyo Sharingan. It won't take long at all."

"Now this is what you call a cheat. Compared to my Extreme Sharingan, the cheats of the second pillar and that guy who rolls balls are pathetically weak!"

"Ha ha ha..."

When the school bell rang, Naruto Uzumaki came over with a grin. "Yi, wanna go get ramen together?"

Uchiha Yi had been immersed in his own world. Only when Naruto called out did he come back to his senses.

Looking up, he found Naruto's smiling face right in front of him.

He was not sure why this original protagonist had grown close to him—perhaps because they were both orphans, or perhaps because of that fight they had gotten into together three years ago.

But Uchiha Yi felt only so-so about Naruto. At most, he occasionally went with him to eat a bowl of ramen.

Today? How could he have the time for that?

His system cheat had arrived, his super cheat had gone online—who had time to eat ramen?

"No. I have something to do today. I'm leaving first."

After tossing out those words, Uchiha Yi turned and ran off, vanishing in a flash.

The moment he got home, he immediately began thinking about how to keep grinding proficiency.

After Uchiha Yi transmigrated into the world of Naruto, he became an orphan.

His parents had both died during a mission.

But unlike Naruto, his parents had left behind quite a bit of property, and the Uchiha Clan had also given him a substantial compensation payment.

Even the house he lived in was a small courtyard that covered more than a thousand square meters.

Because his soul was already that of an adult, he had long refused the caretakers arranged by the clan and lived alone in the courtyard.

After trying a few times, Uchiha Yi's mouth twitched into a bitter smile.

As soon as the school bell rang, the classroom became lively. "Yi, come on, let's go eat ramen!" Naruto Uzumaki came over with a wide grin, his eyes sparkling.

Uchiha Yi looked up at him but said nothing.

His relationship with Naruto was not especially close. They had only fought together once three years ago, and since they were both orphans, they occasionally got together for a bowl of ramen. But today—

What nonsense. His cheat was already in hand. Who had the mood to eat noodles?

"No, I have something to do. I'm leaving first."

After throwing out those words, he had already darted out the door.

Returning home, Uchiha Yi pushed open the courtyard gate and took a deep breath.

This small courtyard covered a considerable area, more than a thousand square meters in all. It was an inheritance left by his parents. The Uchiha Clan had also given him compensation, enough to support him until adulthood.

He had long refused the caretakers arranged by the clan, and living alone suited him just fine.

After all, his soul was already an adult's. There was no need for anyone to wait on him.

After closing the door, he settled down and began testing his newly activated ability.

Once the no-tomoe Rinnegan was activated, chakra leaked out like water through an opened floodgate.

Maintaining it for three minutes was just enough to earn one point of proficiency.

The problem was—he was only six years old. The little chakra in his body was like a tiny puddle, and three minutes could squeeze it completely dry.

To fully recover, it would take at least five hours.

By that calculation, even if he neither slept nor ate, he could only grind it four times a day, for four points of proficiency.

Three days would be just enough to gather ten points.

Uchiha Yi grinned, fairly satisfied.

But on second thought, his heart sank again.

The further cultivation progressed, the more chakra it consumed. With his current foundation, it was like trying to put out a fire with a water gun—not nearly enough.

His young age was a serious weakness, but time would not wait for him—at most, he had only one year left.

If he could not solve the chakra problem, the rate at which his eyes improved would probably be unbearable even to himself.

However, things soon took a turn for the better.

Three days later, the system notification rang out in his mind right on schedule. "Proficiency +1. Current proficiency: 10 points."

"Proficiency has reached the maximum. Would you like to level up?"
