Konoha, Year 42. Konoha. The Uchiha Clan Compound.
"Who am I? Where am I?" He stared blankly at his tiny, delicate hands, his mind filling with endless questions. The world around him seemed so strange and vast, as though everything were silently mocking his ignorance.
"Waaah! Waaah!" He tried desperately to make a sound, but all that came from his mouth was a weak cry.
Panic rose in his heart. Had I become a baby? And not just any baby, but a newborn?
Everything before him seemed to spin. Blurry images gradually came into focus, and the light around him was bright and glaring. He struggled to twist his body, trying to escape his helplessness, but found he could only squirm feebly in the cradle.
He tilted his head slightly and was surprised to find another baby lying beside him. Shock welled up inside him. Twins? Is this my younger brother?
Just as he was lost in confusion, a dignified figure slowly entered his field of vision.
It was Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha Clan, and he radiated an indescribable presence.
Fugaku gazed at the two babies and declared firmly, "The younger one will be named Uchiha Itachi, and the older one Uchiha Feng!"
Standing nearby was Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Fugaku's wife.
She gazed at her children with tender resolve. A mother's warmth and pride showed on her face, and her eyes shone with hope for the future, as though their fates had been bound together in that very moment.
Uchiha Feng, our protagonist.
In his previous life, he had been a model young man, praised by everyone: a good student with excellent grades and a gentle personality, just an ordinary man.
But the wheels of fate turned, and three years passed. It was now Konoha, Year 45.
Sunlight streamed through thin clouds and fell upon him. Uchiha Feng stood at the entrance to his family's small courtyard, gazing up at the blue sky as complicated emotions stirred within him.
"Three years have already passed? The world of Naruto really is a place full of danger and uncertainty..."
As he said this, he couldn't help sighing. "Still, since I've ended up here, I might as well live in peace! After all, I'm not alone and helpless. I'm a man with a cheat."
As his thoughts wandered, the mysterious "God-Level Evolution System" flashed through his mind. It was the powerful cheat that would help him survive in this world. Though unseen, its power filled him with anticipation and confidence about the future.
The system panel appeared in his mind:
[Name] Uchiha Feng. [Kekkei Genkai] Three-Tomoe Sharingan (+). [Special Bloodline] Uchiha bloodline [Attributes] Yin (+); Yang (+); Fire (+); Water (+); Wind (+); Lightning (+); Earth (+); [Ninjutsu] Clone Technique (+); Transformation Technique (+); Substitution Technique (+); Body Flicker Technique (+); Fire Release—Great Fireball Technique (+). [Evolution Points] 1 point.
Looking at the panel's simple yet promising information, Uchiha Feng quietly considered his options.
So far, he still hadn't figured out how to obtain evolution points, but he believed that sooner or later, he'd uncover the system's secrets.
He smiled slightly, his gaze resolute. No matter how rough the road ahead gets, I won't back down! I'll change the fate of the Uchiha Clan Massacre! Shimura Danzō, the Third—once I awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, they'll all be nothing before me!
He had never told anyone that he'd awakened the Sharingan.
After all, awakening the Sharingan at the age of three—and a Three-Tomoe Sharingan at that—was simply too shocking.
The Third Shinobi World War will begin in another year, and after that, the Nine-Tails' Rampage will break out. Uchiha Obito is a threat I can't afford to underestimate, he thought.
Just then, Uchiha Itachi came over from behind him, curiosity showing in his gentle eyes. The brothers looked almost exactly alike. Both were tiny three-year-old boys, and they were about the same height. Their shared blood made their resemblance impossible to miss.
Uchiha Feng gently shook his head, his thoughts swirling. Then he asked Itachi, "Itachi, if one day the village and the clan made you choose between them, which would you pick?"
Uchiha Itachi tilted his head, confusion written across his face. "Brother, why would you ask me that?"
Uchiha Feng furrowed his brow slightly, his tone calm. "It's nothing. Come with me." He turned and strode forward.
Uchiha Itachi followed without hesitation. Although he was full of questions, he still didn't understand what Uchiha Feng was getting at.
Not long afterward, they reached a small grove in the hills behind Konoha. The air was fresh, and sunlight filtered through the thick leaves, casting dappled shadows. It was peaceful and quiet, with the occasional birdsong making the place seem even more serene.
Yet Uchiha Feng remained tense, showing no sign of relaxing.
"Itachi, I'm going to teach you ninjutsu." His voice was low and firm, as if he were preparing to begin the lesson.
Surprise flashed in Uchiha Itachi's eyes. He could hardly believe his ears.
"Ninjutsu? Brother, you've learned ninjutsu?" He stared intently at Feng, filled with anticipation and curiosity.
Uchiha Feng nodded slightly and formed Hand Seals in a flash, his movements as fluid as flowing water.
"Fire Release—Great Fireball Technique!" he called, and a huge fireball burst from his mouth. Its scorching flames seemed ready to swallow everything, instantly lighting up the surrounding grove.
With a boom, the fireball exploded in midair. The nearby trees and underbrush were consumed in an instant. The flames reddened Uchiha Feng's face and reflected the determination in his eyes.
Uchiha Itachi watched in utter shock, then couldn't help cheering, "Amazing! You're incredible, Brother!" His voice brimmed with admiration and pride, his eyes shining with boundless respect for his older brother.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Fugaku watched from a distance as Uchiha Feng unleashed the powerful ninjutsu. Shock surged through him. That boy...
What a genius! He can use a ninjutsu this powerful at just three years old. My son is a true ninjutsu prodigy!
He marveled inwardly, his excitement impossible to contain, his eyes shining. It seemed the Uchiha Clan had truly found hope for a resurgence.
At that moment, a sharp Kunai suddenly shot toward him. Fugaku reacted quickly and barely dodged it. His heart jolted. He noticed me? At only three years old, he has such powerful perception—and he can throw a Kunai with such speed. Incredible...
"Who's there? Show yourself!" Uchiha Feng's voice rang through the air, edged with anger.
Uchiha Fugaku slowly emerged from the shadows and stood before Uchiha Feng and Uchiha Itachi. "It's me..."
Uchiha Feng bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Father, so it was you."
Itachi followed suit, his voice gentle yet concerned. "Father, when did you get here?"
Uchiha Fugaku smiled faintly and looked at his two sons, his tone steady and authoritative. "I've been here for quite some time. But, Feng, where did you learn that ninjutsu?" His words revealed his concern for his son's training, along with a hint of curiosity.
