Chapter Summaries

After awakening in the body of a weak Uchiha student during the Third Shinobi World War, Ye Chen learned that his class would graduate early and be sent to the front lines. Just as he feared he would die there, his Infinite Evolution System activated and revealed his poor starting stats.

• Ye Chen realized he had transmigrated into the nine-year-old Uchiha Ye Chen, whose parents had died on the battlefield.
• Ye Chen found that he lacked an awakened Sharingan and had very little chakra, then trained for days without improving.
• Ye Chen learned his class would graduate in a month and be sent to the front lines because the war needed reinforcements.
• Ye Chen's Infinite Evolution System activated and granted him a starter gift pack.
• Ye Chen viewed his character panel and saw combat power 0.7, inactive Sharingan and Byakugan, no talent, and a level-one Three Body Technique.

Yechen examined his attributes and learned that activating his Sharingan and Byakugan required raising his stats. After receiving Hyōrinmaru and spending his starter evolution points on his spirit and constitution, he gained a new way to earn more points and prepared to grow stronger.

• Yechen learned that both ocular bloodlines required attributes of 10 points to activate, and he suspected his Byakugan might evolve into the Tenseigan.
• Yechen discovered that evolution points could improve his attributes and skills, then opened his starter pack and received 100 points, Hyōrinmaru, and the Energy Conversion talent.
• Yechen examined Hyōrinmaru, found he could store it inside his body, and learned that its powers would unlock as he grew stronger.
• Yechen spent all 100 evolution points to raise his spirit to 10 and his constitution to 6, leaving his Sharingan inactive.
• Yechen learned that Energy Conversion could turn energy-bearing items into evolution points, but he could not bring himself to convert Hyōrinmaru.

Yechen practiced the Clone Technique after becoming a Genin, then discovered and began cultivating the Primordial Heaven-Devouring Art, which rapidly restored his chakra. As he slept, an Uchiha Jonin finished observing him and left, dismissing him for lacking the Sharingan.

• Yechen found that his Clone Technique proficiency increased with each attempt, eventually reaching level 2 as he trained while hiding his sudden improvement.
• After exhausting his chakra, Yechen received the Primordial Heaven-Devouring Art and chose it over the Chakra Refinement Method.
• Yechen mastered the first layer’s Eye of Illusion-Piercing and restored his chakra to full in ten minutes.
• Yechen continued practicing the Clone Technique, whose chakra cost had fallen, and raised it to level 3 before falling asleep.
• An Uchiha Jonin who had watched Yechen for half a month saw that he still lacked the Sharingan and left, deciding Yechen was not worth further observation.

Yechen returned to the Ninja Academy after discovering his strength and energy had increased, then learned that wartime urgency might bring his class’s graduation forward. As Sugiki Keitai began a new round of nonstop sparring, Yechen was paired with Saito Mu and prepared to fight.

• Yechen confirmed that his strength had increased and his energy had recovered overnight, then went to school to avoid drawing attention.
• Sugiki Keitai watched Yechen during class, while Yechen nervously mistook the glance for suspicion.
• Yechen learned through the afternoon training that students would have to fight continuously, and he feared his class would soon be sent to war.
• Sugiki Keitai paired Yechen with Saito Mu, whose combat power Yechen’s system assessed as 0.8.
• Saito Mu took offense at Yechen’s expression, and Sugiki Keitai ordered the paired students to begin fighting without weapons.

Yechen endured a punishing spar with Saito Mu, using the combat practice to build experience while hiding his true abilities. After improving his Clone Technique overnight, he practiced throwing weapons at school and began hitting bull's-eyes consistently.

• Sugiki Keitai started the unarmed spar, and Yechen dodged and blocked Saito Mu's attacks while gradually adapting to combat.
• Saito Mu repeatedly targeted Yechen's vital points, leaving him bruised by the end of the school day.
• Yechen exhausted himself cultivating the Primordial Chaos Devouring Heaven Technique and raised his Clone Technique to level 4, allowing him to create four clones with one hand seal and a thought.
• The next afternoon, Sugiki Keitai led the students in shuriken and kunai practice, where Yechen struggled at first but improved with repeated throws.
• Yechen began hitting the bull's-eye consistently, so Sugiki Keitai moved his target from six meters to eight meters.

Yechen trained hard for the approaching graduation assessment, reaching Genin-level combat strength while remaining determined to leave the Uchiha Clan once he could protect himself. The clan dismissed him as unworthy of attention because he had not awakened the Sharingan, and the chapter ended with seven days remaining until the assessment.

• Yechen practiced weapon throwing and the Three Basic Techniques, raising both the Substitution Technique and the Transformation Technique to level 3.
• After half a month of training, Yechen reached combat power 2.2 and brought the Three Basic Techniques to level 6, putting him on par with a mid-level Genin.
• Uchiha Zhiye delivered survivor compensation and a monthly clan allowance to Yechen, who hid his resentment and resolved to leave the Uchiha Clan when he was strong enough.
• Uchiha Zhiye reported Yechen's Genin-level abilities and abundant chakra to the Third Elder, but the Third Elder dismissed him because he had not awakened the Sharingan.
• Sugiki Keitai announced that the students' assessment in seven days would serve as their graduation assessment, making Yechen feel pressed for time.

Yechen, Ito Miyuki, and Abe Rō tried to take the scroll from Nakagawa Ichirō as part of their Team 7 assessment. After Nakagawa easily repelled their first attacks, Yechen gathered the team to plan another attempt.

• Yechen realized the assessment might have serious consequences and received a mission to pass and join Team 7.

After using evolution points to strengthen his body, Yechen awakened both the Sharingan and the Byakugan, gaining Amaterasu and Space Compression. He learned that upgrading talents required increasingly large amounts of evolution points.

• Yechen spent 10 evolution points on constitution, endured the painful awakening of his one-tomoe Sharingan, and gained greatly enhanced vision.

After awakening both the Sharingan and Byakugan, Yechen began balancing his cultivation and prepared to take his first missions as a Genin. While gathering rubbish from a river, he used Water Walking to train his chakra control and impressed Nakagawa Ichirō.

• Yechen examined the intertwined yin and yang energies in his dantian and concluded he needed to cultivate his energy and body together.
• After waking the next morning, Yechen remembered Nakagawa Ichirō's order to meet at the Hokage Building and reluctantly set out for missions.

• Nakagawa Ichirō watched Yechen run across the water, admired his chakra control, and considered making him a disciple before deciding to keep his distance from the Uchiha.
