In Konoha, within the Uchiha Clan Compound, Uchiha Bai Ye looked at the date on the calendar, feeling somewhat melancholic at the moment.
Year 53 of Konoha.
As a member of the Uchiha, he knew very well that the time for him to make a choice had arrived.
What the hell! Shisui's death is about to happen, and it won't be long before the Uchiha Clan Massacre! Looks like I can only run away!
Bai Ye sighed, thinking to himself that he was truly both lucky and unlucky.
He was a time-traveler.
As an anime enthusiast, when Bai Ye learned that he had transmigrated into the Naruto world and belonged to the Uchiha Clan, he had been thrilled.
After all, in the Naruto world, anyone who had watched the anime knew.
Before the era of tattoos, it was the era of colored contact lenses!
If you weren't of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, you couldn't even sit at the table in the end.
Therefore, upon realizing he was part of the Uchiha Clan, Bai Ye was excited.
Yet upon learning the current timeline, he felt somewhat distressed again.
He was one year younger than Shisui.
He had participated in the Third Shinobi World War, and at the same time, in this current era, he already possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, falling into the category of an Elite Jonin.
It could be said that his current strength made him the elite of elites within the Uchiha Clan.
Initially, he had also thought about changing the fate of the Uchiha.
Alas, he only had the three-tomoe; on Clan Massacre Night, the three-tomoe couldn't even sit at the table.
He would either be finished off by the dutiful son or killed by the second-smartest.
He did want to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, but unfortunately his parents died on a mission right when he was born.
He had no way to awaken the Mangekyo through the death of his parents.
Right now, he felt he had lost all means and could only run away to save his life.
Otherwise, he would have to stay behind and be buried along with the Uchiha.
Although there was still some time until the Uchiha Clan Massacre, he knew very well.
After Shisui died, the Uchiha would be placed under even heavier surveillance, making it completely impossible to ever have a chance to escape then.
He definitely had to run before Shisui died.
Just as Bai Ye was pondering what kind of fake death method to use to slip away, a mechanical voice in his ear instantly pulled his thoughts right back.
[Ding! Clan System is initializing, binding host: Uchiha Bai Ye!]
A clan system?!
Holy shit!!!
My golden finger has arrived!!
System, you fucking finally came; do you know how I've even gotten through all these years?!
Now that the system had finally arrived, Bai Ye felt that he had finally made it through the bitter times and reached the sweet.
"System, what functions do you have?!" Bai Ye asked.
Immediately following that, the mechanical voice rang out the next second: [Ding! The system is bound to the clan. The stronger the clan, the more arbitrary rewards the host can obtain. Please, host, make the Uchiha Clan great again!]
Make the Uchiha Clan great again...
Bai Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, somehow feeling as though he had bound someone else's system.
However, he also roughly understood what the system function was.
Directly afterward, a system panel appeared before Bai Ye's eyes.
[Uchiha Bai Ye] [Strength]: Elite Jonin [Abilities]: Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Fire Release Ninjutsu, Uchiha Style Taijutsu [Clan Fortune]: -5000 (On the verge of massacre, clan fortune is sluggish)
Upon seeing this clan fortune, Bai Ye was utterly numb.
So it had already reached the execution line, huh?!
There was no one else who was in negative debt for clan fortune; Konoha had its own execution line too.
However, after getting the system, Bai Ye was no longer as worried as he was before.
"System, is the way to gain clan fortune to make the clan stronger?! But aren't the Uchiha already very strong?!"
Bai Ye had a question.
If it was based on the clan growing stronger, the strongest clan right now should be the Uchiha.
How was it supposed to grow stronger than this?!
Moreover, this connection between the Clan Fortune and the family growing stronger seemed somewhat far-fetched.
This obviously felt somewhat wrong!
[Ding! Growing stronger is a method; this growth lies in overall strength and whether hearts are united. At the same time, there are other methods, such as changing the external survival environment, expanding the influence of the Uchiha, like the Uchiha becoming Hokage, or changing the doomed endings of certain people, all of which will affect the Clan Fortune.]
Understood...
Seeing this, Bai Ye also understood why the Clan Fortune was minus five thousand.
Combined with that, the Uchiha were practically at Clan Massacre Night.
Furthermore, the Uchiha internally were actually not a monolithic block.
For instance, the Dove Faction tended to surrender to Konoha.
The Radical Faction, on the other hand, wanted to start a war with Konoha.
At the same time, there was also a Middle Faction that frequently tried to smooth things over.
One could say that three-way checks and balances would inherently drain a family's combat power.
Everyone's hearts were not united, so there was no cohesion either.
Therefore, judging by this situation, that obviously wouldn't do.
Looking at it this way, if he wanted to grow stronger afterward, he would definitely need to raise the Clan Fortune.
Obtain any reward.
This meant that he had the possibility of sitting at the table.
Even with the Mangekyo Sharingan, one couldn't actually sit at the table; the key was to have the chakra of Indra and Asura.
This brought up the Six Paths family.
Without the core abilities of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, things would basically turn out just so-so in the later stages.
And given the current situation, with the system, his path forward was quite clear.
Now the core had just one point... Clan Massacre Night.
Originally Bai Ye had thought about running away, but now it clearly didn't support running anymore.
If the Uchiha Clan was wiped out, then how was he supposed to make the Uchiha Clan great again?!
More children, more blessings, huh?
But this wasn't a more-children-more-blessings system; if it were a more-children-more-blessings system, he would have just holed up somewhere to have kids.
So now he had to plan this out properly.
"That being said, Shisui definitely has to be saved; otherwise, if Shisui dies, it will just end up like the anime.
Then there are the three factions within the Uchiha, which all need to be twisted into a single rope. For this, I need to become the Clan Head, so I need to pull Uchiha Fugaku down from that position."
From the current perspective, the current situation of the Uchiha was much more complicated than imagined.
After all, externally there was the Konoha F4 staring them down, and the higher-ups had always been on guard against the Uchiha-this had been the case ever since the Second Hokage.
Then, because of the Konoha Military Police Force, the villagers and ordinary shinobi also loathed the Uchiha Clan.
Other clans had competition with the Uchiha, coupled with the fact that the Uchiha Clan basically looked down their noses at everyone.
One could say they had offended the entire village.
Internally, every faction had its own ideas, coupled with that good-for-nothing Uchiha Fugaku, as well as Shisui and that dutiful son being surrender monkeys.
He was truly speechless!
What the hell!
Internal troubles and external threats!
The three strongest combat powers of the Uchiha, who were also the three Mangekyo users in the anime, not a single one wanted to lead the clansmen in putting up any resistance.
Therefore, today's situation could be described as a hellish opening hand.
However, he felt that the overall situation could still be reversed.
At least Shisui was not yet dead, so naturally things hadn't reached such a dire point.
If Shisui died, then Bai Ye could completely lie flat, and things really would reach an irretrievable stage.
"By the way, System, if I get other people to join the Uchiha or join my command, even without Uchiha blood, does that also count as an enhancement to the Uchiha Clan Fortune?"
[Ding! It counts!]
So that's how it was!
No wonder becoming the Hokage also counted as increasing the Clan Fortune; after everything was said and done, once the Uchiha became the Hokage, didn't everything in Konoha belong to the Uchiha?!
Therefore... Bai Ye had also figured out what slogans to use later to bamboozle... no, to get other people to join the Uchiha and live a good life.
Come, and you are an Uchiha person!
The kindness of Bai Ye is something you won't be able to repay in this lifetime~
So before that, let's first accomplish the task of pulling down Uchiha Fugaku as the Clan Head and rescuing Private Shisui to rewrite the history of the Uchiha Clan Downfall Night!
