Chapter 1: Born in the Uchiha, Starting off as a Madman
Land of Fire, Konoha Ninja Village.
Right now, it is Year 55 of Konoha.
On the outskirts of Konoha lies the residential area of the Uchiha Clan.
Kazama sits on the bed in a bit of a daze.
Has this year finally arrived, then?
That is right, Uchiha Kazama was reincarnated into this Naruto world as a baby.
He is 16 years old now.
Born into a biological family within the Uchiha Clan, he has personally experienced what discrimination and ostracization truly feel like.
Especially after the Nine-Tails' Kyūbi Incident, the high command not only suppresses them, but even ordinary people despise the Uchiha.
The Uchiha wield power, yet they have been completely marginalized, and were even banished to the outskirts of Konoha following the Nine-Tails' Kyūbi Incident.
This is no longer mere suppression; it is shitting right on top of the Uchiha's heads.
Yet that good-for-nothing Uchiha Fugaku is nothing but indecisive and wavering.
He drifts between the radical and conservative factions of the clan.
And now, a clan meeting has actually been called just because Uchiha Itachi became an ANBU squad captain.
He wants to persuade everyone to trust Uchiha Itachi, appease the radical faction, and further pull in the conservative faction.
The mere thought of that ungrateful wretch Uchiha Itachi makes Kazama want to go and kill that scumbag right this instant!
Alas, his strength is insufficient.
Although he is not weak and has also unlocked the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Still, against Uchiha Itachi, who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan, he is far too powerless.
"I heard Uchiha Itachi has already become an ANBU squad captain; now there is someone from our Uchiha in the ANBU too."
"Yeah, perhaps this is the best chance for us Uchiha to change our current situation!"
"That's right, hurry along. The clan head called this clan meeting today, and it's probably related to this matter."
The conversation of hurried Uchiha clansmen outside the door filters into Kazama's perception.
Hearing these laughable remarks, Kazama sneers.
These guys who are helping Uchiha Itachi complete his KPI are still daydreaming about such things.
As expected, the Uchiha are either as stupid as pigs, or outright lunatics!
Damn it, is there really no escaping this Night of the Slaughter?
Just sit here and wait for that day to arrive?
Damn it, asshole Uchiha Fugaku, trash Konoha High Command-those dogs are the ones who deserve to die!
No, even if I'm going to die, I won't die looking this pathetic!
He reflects on how not only did he lack a system after transmigrating, but he also transmigrated into the Uchiha.
Well, this is fantastic; he completely transmigrated just to pad Uchiha Itachi's KPI.
An incomparably intense wave of resentment circulates, and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in Kazama's eyes activates automatically.
At the same time, they begin to spin.
The original tomoe start to change, and a terrifying ocular power spills outward.
The tomoe transform into six small triangles surrounding the central pupil, forming a fractured hexagram shape.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Mangekyō Sharingan. The Madman System is activated.]
[As long as the host performs actions that people find insane, you will receive rewards.]
[Ding! Sensing that the host harbors insane thoughts, ocular power restrictions are lifted, and the drawbacks of the Sharingan are eliminated.]
Along with the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan, a cold, synthesized electronic voice rings out.
It all happens suddenly.
Uchiha Kazama's face still bears the intense resentment from just moments ago, which slowly transforms into madness.
His mouth opens involuntarily, revealing an immensely arrogant smile.
This damn system showed up right on time!
Moreover, this reward is practically egging him on to go stir up trouble!
A madman system, is it!?
Rest assured, I will let you know what a real madman is like!
Whether it is Uchiha Fugaku or that third-generation dog Hiruzen Sarutobi, just you wait!
Since Konoha doesn't want him to live!
Since Uchiha Fugaku is pitifully weak!
Since Itachi Uchiha wanted to act like an ungrateful traitor!
Then, he should thoroughly experience how madness was truly the nature of the Uchiha!
A series of crazy thoughts converged in Kazama Uchiha's mind.
[Ding! Detected that the host harbors crazy thoughts. Pupil power +800.] [Ding! Detected that the host harbors crazy thoughts. Rewarded with the spiritual weapon Time-Piercing Sword.] [Ding! Detected that the host harbors crazy thoughts. Rewarded with one instance of unrestricted illusion rebound.]
As these frenzied thoughts surged, the system's prompt sounds continuously echoed in Kazama Uchiha's mind.
After a long while, a slightly calmed Kazama Uchiha was still trembling all over.
"System, pull up the status panel!"
Kazama Uchiha raised his hand and summoned his status panel.
Host: Kazama Uchiha Ninjutsu: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique, Fire Release: Exploding Flame Destruction Taijutsu: Uchiha-Style Taijutsu, Basic Konoha-Style Taijutsu Genjutsu: Narakumi Technique, Bramble Forest of Terror, Spirit-Seizing Technique Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyō Sharingan [Unrestricted] [Left Eye: Tenshō. Upon release, draws anyone with lower pupil power than the user into an illusion space with absolute control.] [Right Eye: Wrath of Amahara. Enhances ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu based on consumed pupil power.] Spiritual Weapon: Time-Piercing Sword [Capable of executing strikes that traverse space and time. Can be mastered by the host and equipped by Susanoo.]
Looking at the panel before him, this was a status panel entirely born for making trouble!
Especially the abilities of this Mangekyō Sharingan.
Indeed, the Mangekyō truly lived up to its name as the mirror that reflects the heart!
These abilities were simply too suited for what he was about to do right now.
Thinking of how Uchiha Fugaku was once again starting to feed the clan members false hopes, Kazama Uchiha quickly left the room.
"Lord Kazama has arrived as well?"
"The meeting has already begun. Lord Kazama should hurry inside."
"That's right, Lord Kazama. It's been quite a while since you last participated in a meeting."
The two guards at the door were still very polite when they saw Kazama Uchiha.
Do not be fooled by the fact that he was only sixteen years old.
Yet, before he was even ten years old, Kazama Uchiha had already been to the battlefield.
Coupled with returning to the village alive, he had subsequently embarked on frantic training and missions.
Back then, in order to escape the fate of dying on the night of the clan's annihilation, Kazama worked very hard.
Alas, he lacked a cheat!
It was only in the past half year that he had started slacking off.
Before he began slacking off, he was already the captain of the First Division of the Konoha Military Police Force.
In terms of strength and status, he deserved such respect from the two of them.
Kazama did not say much to them and walked directly into the meeting hall.
Inside the meeting hall.
"Trust Uchiha Itachi?"
"Back then, you asked us to trust Shisui Uchiha, but where is he now!?"
"And now you're asking us to trust Uchiha Itachi?"
"Patriarch, you tell us, up until now, has the attitude of the Konoha High Command toward us ever changed?"
"Has the restriction on our resources and the suppression of our actions decreased at all?"
Uchiha Ryunen was full of anger.
Did he, Uchiha Fugaku, not know about this situation!?
"Now that Itachi has become an ANBU captain, I believe he will soon be able to ease relations with the Konoha High Command."
"Ryunen, your proposal is simply too crazy, and I do not agree with it."
Uchiha Raku immediately spoke up.
As a member of the conservative faction, he really did not want to wage war again.
He was very satisfied with a stable life.
"Raku is right. We trust that Itachi can pull it off; he is so exceptional."
Uchiha Fu also chimed in with his support.
