What? I'm Uchiha Too? Then It's Fine

Dark clouds slowly drifted away.

Bright moonlight poured in through the window, gradually illuminating the outline of the wooden carving.

Obito's eyes finally adjusted to the darkness.

When he saw the scene before him clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.

What kind of eyes were those?

They were wide open, hollow, lifeless, utterly devoid of any living light, like a demon crawling out of hell and staring him down.

Obito's gaze uncontrollably moved downward.

In the position of the left chest, where the heart should have been, there was a transparent hole the size of a fist!

With no clothes covering it, a hole had been forcibly carved straight through that spot.

The pale moonlight passed through the hole without obstruction, striking the wall behind Obito in a straight line.

The visual impact was utterly devastating.

Obito stopped breathing.

His mind went completely blank.

The blood in his entire body froze in an instant.

His mouth hung open, yet he could not force out a single complete word.

"Rin... Rin!!!"

[Ding! Guard-Break Points from Obito Uchiha, +999!!!]

Obito sprang up from the tatami, both hands clutching his hair tightly.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body trembled violently.

Just as this hellish sight was about to completely shatter his mind, something even more terrifying happened.

Ye hid in the darkness and lightly kicked the figurine's back.

"Crack."

The sound of wood breaking grated harshly through the silent room.

The neck joint that Ye had deliberately shaved paper-thin finally gave way.

Without warning, "Rin's" head snapped off and fell.

"Rumble..."

The round wooden head rolled down along the edge of the tatami.

One turn, then another.

It stopped exactly three inches in front of Obito's knees.

Those two hollow black circles for eyes faced upward, staring fixedly at Obito's face.

The world fell silent.

Obito's final psychological defense crumbled with a deafening crash in that second, shattered beyond repair.

[Ding! Guard-Break Points from Obito Uchiha, +999!!!]

[Ding! Guard-Break Points from Obito Uchiha, +999!!!]

[Ding! Guard-Break Points from Obito Uchiha, +999!!!]

[...]

Obito's pupils contracted violently.

At that moment, a visible transformation took place in his eyes.

Deep within his black irises, a glaring crimson rapidly spread.

Around his pupils, a small black tomoe rapidly condensed and spun.

Tears and snot streamed down Obito's face, his voice hoarse and distorted.

His hands desperately tore at his hair as he threw back his head and unleashed a heart-rending, despairing roar at the air.

"Rin!!!"

"How could I possibly accept something like th—"

Ye had been quietly admiring his handiwork from the shadows, while also watching the numbers on the System Panel jump wildly.

When Obito shouted that extremely familiar classic line, Ye's eyelid twitched.

That line was wrong.

If he let this kid keep yelling, half the Uchiha compound would wake up!

The patrolling Security Force would definitely break down the door within three minutes.

The word "accept" was still stuck in Obito's throat before he could spit it out.

Ye lunged at him directly from behind.

Chakra gathered in his palm as he brought down an extremely precise, powerful hand chop on the back of Obito's neck.

Bang!

A dull sound, clean and decisive.

Obito's half-erupted emotions, his heart-wrenching wail, and the Chakra fluctuations on the verge of collapse—

Were all forcibly cut off by that strike.

His body jerked violently, his eyes rolled back, and he toppled forward limply, completely unconscious.

Ye casually grabbed the back of his collar and laid that limp heap flat on the tatami.

The world was finally quiet.

Only the summer insects outside the window continued chirping tirelessly.

Ye stood where he was and shook out his slightly numb palm.

In his mind, the system notifications finally erupted.

[Ding! Detected emotional fluctuations beyond the target's limits. Calculating critical Guard-Break Points...]

[Congratulations, Host! Guard-Break Points obtained: +3000!]

[Ding! Guard-Break Points from Obito Uchiha, +888!]

Ye opened the System Panel and fixed his gaze directly on the balance in the upper-right corner.

[Current Balance: 102,880 points]

He had broken one hundred thousand.

Ye let out a long breath. The irritation he had been holding in all night instantly vanished. It felt better than drinking an ice-cold cola in the middle of summer.

He crouched down and carefully examined Obito under the moonlight.

Though the guy had been knocked unconscious, his eyelids were still twitching.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye reached out and pulled open Obito's eyelid.

With one glance in the light, Ye froze on the spot.

Obito's iris was no longer pure black.

Within the dark red iris, a pitch-black One-Tomoe hung quietly inside, slowly turning.

One-Tomoe Sharingan.

Even though he had lost consciousness, the Uchiha Clan's uniquely cold and sinister ocular power could still be clearly felt.

Ye stared at that crimson eye in silence for a full three seconds.

Then he slowly released his fingers and let Obito's eyelid close naturally.

Ye stood up and could not help clicking his tongue.

The Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai was seriously unreasonable. Once the emotions were in place, it directly forced someone across the threshold.

Fuck, why was the Uchiha Clan so overpowered?

Their cheats just activated whenever they wanted!

What?

I'm from the Uchiha Clan too? Then it's fine.

At that thought, Ye chuckled twice.

But other people needed separation by life and death, blood and flying flesh, to awaken their eyes.

Obito only needed a horribly slapdash wooden figurine and a voice changer.

A worthless scrap-wood carving in exchange for an awakened Sharingan, while also helping him amass a fortune of one hundred thousand points.

No matter how he calculated it, this deal was pure profit.

Ye brushed the wood chips off his hands and looked down at the headless wooden carving on the floor and its head lying off to the side.

He bent down, picked up the pieces of the carving, and with a thought, stuffed them all into the System Space in just a few moves.

The scene was restored to its original state, without leaving a single trace.

Wasn't that why he called himself a living Bodhisattva? This was not messing with someone's head at all—this was clearly targeted poverty alleviation!

He had used an immersive murder-mystery game to help his deskmate adapt early to the Shinobi World's beatings, while conveniently activating his dormant cheat.

All suffering was endured so that all beings could be saved. Obito, how would he ever repay such overwhelming kindness in the future?

Ye strolled over to the window, slipped both hands into his pockets, and smoothly flipped outside, landing without a sound.

Under the moonlight, Ye climbed over the courtyard wall and returned to his own yard.

He returned to his own yard under the moonlight, concealing his achievements and reputation.

As for how Obito would wake up the next morning, search everywhere for his head, and question his entire life, or how he would stare blankly at the red eyes in the mirror—

That would probably produce another huge batch of Emotion Points.

Ye laughed out loud. What deskmate? This was clearly a steadily producing gold mine!

The moment he plopped back onto his bed, the exhaustion from staying up most of the night finally came rushing over him.

But Ye was so pumped that he could kill a cow with his bare hands. How could he possibly feel sleepy?

He sat cross-legged, his eyes shining frighteningly bright.

His finger tapped through the air, directly summoning the core interface of the System Shop.

[Current Balance: 102,880 points]

One hundred and two thousand, eight hundred and eighty.

Ye stared at that string of numbers, pressing his tongue against the roof of his mouth to suppress his racing heart.

Just as he was about to open the ten-pull interface—

The System Panel suddenly shook.

A ring of golden ripples burst across the entire translucent interface, and the plain blue background with white text was instantly covered in flowing golden light.

A line of gilded words Ye had never seen before appeared across his retina.

[Congratulations, Host! Your accumulated Guard-Break Points have exceeded 100,000!]

[Advanced Prize Pool unlocked!]

[Advanced Prize Pool rules: Each draw costs 10,000 points and is guaranteed to yield a top-tier reward.]
