Year 50 of Konoha.
One year after the Nine-Tails' Attack.
Uchiha Sora, who had transmigrated into the world of Naruto as a young child, had been studying at the Ninja Academy for almost a month.
When he first transmigrated, he had imagined countless times how he would one day punch Obito Uchiha and stomp Madara Uchiha into the ground.
But reality had taught him a harsh lesson.
When he was three, his parents died on a mission, leaving him an orphan.
He had thought his intelligence as a transmigrator would let him show plenty of talent for training from an early age. Later, however, he discovered that talent had very little to do with how smart someone was.
As a result, Uchiha Sora, now six years old, had spent over a full month studying at the Ninja Academy before finally becoming proficient at extracting chakra from his body.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi, who was in the same year, the same class, and even the same clan, could already use the Three Body Technique and the Uchiha Clan's Fire Release with ease. He was the undisputed number one in their class.
Uchiha Sora and Uchiha Itachi came from the same clan, yet their talents were polar opposites. This often made Uchiha Sora a subject of gossip and ridicule among their classmates.
But Uchiha Sora paid no mind to any of that. Sitting distractedly in the classroom, he was thinking about his future options.
After all, the Uchiha Clan would be wiped out in a few years, and he had no desire to be cut down by Uchiha Itachi.
If all else fails, I'll find a chance to slip out of the village and hole up somewhere.
Uchiha Sora was preparing for the worst.
Ding-dong! Automatic Training System activated!
A voice suddenly rang out in Uchiha Sora's mind, startling him so badly that he nearly cried out.
Fortunately, he quickly calmed down. Suppressing his excitement, he said in his mind, System! You've finally arrived! Hurry up and tell me whether your features are any good!
"Dear host, this system's features are absolutely amazing, and they have plenty of staying power, too! Your satisfaction with our service is guaranteed!"
System! Be serious and get on with it! Uchiha Sora said, speechless.
"All right. This system allows you to enter automatic training mode. You only need to establish a training project to begin."
How do I establish a training project? Uchiha Sora asked.
"Training projects are based on things you are already training in, or whose prerequisites you have met. Your currently established projects are physical conditioning, chakra extraction, and kekkei genkai development," the system replied.
Oh? So I won't need to train by myself anymore? It's completely automated? Uchiha Sora was delighted.
"Yes. However, the effectiveness of automatic training will vary depending on your surroundings and your own condition. Please investigate the details yourself."
Uchiha Sora nodded.
At that moment, the teacher was explaining genjutsu to the class.
The lesson covered the most typical example of casting genjutsu through the eyes: the Sharingan.
"The Sharingan is the Uchiha Clan's Dōjutsu, a type of kekkei genkai. Genjutsu cast through the Sharingan becomes more powerful..."
"Speaking of which, we also need to explain what Dōjutsu is..."
Ding! Inspired by your ninja education, your kekkei genkai-the Sharingan-has finally awakened as the One-Tomoe Sharingan!
The voice suddenly rang out in his mind just as the teacher finished explaining Dōjutsu.
The next instant, Uchiha Sora felt a sudden warmth well up in his eyes. Then his view of everything around him grew clearer.
Even the chakra within his body suddenly increased a little.
What? I've awakened the One-Tomoe Sharingan just like that? Uchiha Sora froze, then hurriedly took out a small mirror to look.
On his delicate-featured face was a pair of scarlet eyes, each with a single black tomoe in its pupil.
It really was the One-Tomoe Sharingan!
Uchiha Sora was ecstatic. This automatic training was freaking incredible!
While he was still rejoicing, the system's voice sounded in his mind again:
Ding! Stimulated by the awakening of your Sharingan, your chakra is working even harder at extraction! Ding! Unwilling to fall behind, your physique is training even harder!
Uchiha Sora carefully examined himself and discovered that his chakra extraction really had become more efficient!
His body also seemed to have grown a little stronger!
The chakra extraction project governed the circulation and recovery of his chakra, as well as increases to his maximum chakra reserves.
Ordinary ninja needed to repeatedly expend chakra and temper their bodies and minds to increase their maximum reserves. It was an extremely time-consuming training project.
Physical conditioning was even more demanding. Besides diligent training, it depended heavily on factors such as bloodline, nutrition, and physical growth.
Ninja born with a Sage Body, for instance, had far stronger physiques than ordinary ninja!
But now, Uchiha Sora no longer needed to spend any time training. These training projects would train themselves.
How convenient!
As far as Uchiha Sora was concerned, My talent might be garbage, but my Sharingan works hard, my chakra works hard, and my physique works hard, too!
This is the life!
No! Even with the system, I can't get cocky! I can't be reckless!
I'll lie low first and buy time for my "kids" to train themselves and grow stronger!
Uchiha Sora deactivated his Sharingan and continued attending class as though nothing had happened...
After school, Uchiha Sora returned to the home his parents had left him and dug out his notes on the training methods for the Three Body Technique that his ninja teacher had previously explained.
He began reading them carefully.
Before, he hadn't even gotten chakra extraction down. Much of the ninjutsu knowledge his teacher explained could only be recorded in his notes; he couldn't put it into practice.
Now, however, things were different. Once he had finished reading everything about the Three Body Technique and memorized its Hand Seals...
Ding! Your Transformation Technique has entered automatic training mode! Ding! Your Clone Technique has entered automatic training mode! Ding! Your Substitution Technique has entered automatic training mode!
System notifications sounded one after another.
Then, only a few minutes later, another notification arrived:
Ding! Your Sharingan thinks the Transformation Technique, Clone Technique, and Substitution Technique are far too simple! It has generously helped them complete their training! Ding! With the Sharingan's help, your Transformation Technique has completed its training! Ding! With the Sharingan's help, your Clone Technique has completed its training! Ding! With the Sharingan's help, your Substitution Technique has completed its training!
In an instant, Uchiha Sora mastered every aspect of using the Three Body Technique!
