Konoha, Year 54.
Inside a small wooden house, a young man slowly opened his eyes.
He shook his slightly dizzy head and looked around.
The wooden walls and unfamiliar furnishings stunned him.
This… wasn't his room.
He remembered binging Naruto anime all night. Then, his mind suddenly went blank.
When he woke up—he found himself in a completely foreign place.
Standing up reflexively, he noticed his clothes had changed.
A high-collared robe… he had definitely seen this before.
Wait a minute—that outfit, wasn't it what members of the Uchiha Clan wore in the Naruto anime?
He froze in place.
No way… he transmigrated?!
Rushing to the mirror, his reflection showed a handsome young man with spiky black hair.
The hairstyle was different, but the facial structure was identical to his real-world self.
He turned slightly—and there it was: the Uchiha clan's fan-shaped crest on his back.
He immediately dashed to the window.
In the distance, on the mountain, four massive stone faces were carved—those of the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Hokage.
This… was definitely the world of Naruto.
No prank could be this elaborate.
But instead of excitement, a deep sorrow overtook him.
Because the world of Naruto wasn't just about passion and dreams—it was dangerous, brutal, and bloody.
Especially if you were a member of the Uchiha Clan.
Suddenly, searing pain struck his mind.
Floods of foreign memories invaded his brain, making him clutch his head in agony.
Minutes later, as the pain subsided, a bitter expression took over his face.
Year 54 of the Konoha calendar…
The Fourth Hokage had already died during the Nine-Tails Attack.
The Konoha Council suspected the Uchiha of orchestrating the attack.
They were forcibly relocated to the outskirts of the village.
The clan had been ostracized, exiled from the center of power.
But he had watched the anime. He knew the truth:
It wasn't the Uchiha Clan who summoned the Nine-Tails.
It was Uchiha Obito, a rogue who had long abandoned the village and clan.
Although Obito bore the Uchiha name, his loyalties lay elsewhere.
If the clan truly had the power to control the Nine-Tails, why would they allow themselves to be humiliated?
The whole incident was nothing but political infighting, cloaked as village stability.
Eventually, tensions between the Uchiha Clan and the village leadership became irreconcilable.
And then came the massacre—engineered by two of the most infamous traitors in Naruto lore:
Uchiha Itachi: A prodigy who killed his father, mother, lover, and clan members.
Uchiha Obito: Driven insane by loss, he turned against everything and everyone.
The protagonist couldn't comprehend the grudge that Obito held against the clan.
It was as if someone had murdered his mother in cold blood.
But truthfully, Obito's parents had died in war, not due to clan politics.
Itachi, though… was even more terrifying.
As the clan leader's son, instead of protecting his family, he raised his blade and slaughtered them.
These two traitors weren't just evil—they were madmen, even worse than Danzo or the Third Hokage.
At least Danzo and Hiruzen were the Uchiha's enemies.
But Itachi and Obito carried Uchiha blood and still committed such unforgivable atrocities.
He cursed under his breath.
As a transmigrator, he just couldn't accept this twisted fate.
The Uchiha had once been the most powerful clan in Konoha—second only to the Senju Clan.
Without them, who could rival the village?
Yet all that strength was wasted.
The Third Hokage was a master of internal conflict but a coward in foreign diplomacy.
During the Third Great Ninja War, Konoha defeated Iwagakure but still signed unequal treaties.
He stepped down due to public anger.
Then, after the Fourth died, he resumed leadership—only to persecute the Uchiha.
Even if Danzo ordered Itachi, could he have acted without the Hokage's approval?
Did they think the Anbu existed just to drink tea?
Later, during Orochimaru's revenge, Hiruzen died with no one to save him.
How could the clan's two geniuses be so thoroughly brainwashed by the "Will of Fire"?
Now, even his name was the same as the original body: Uchiha Ryosuke.
Yes—he had truly become Uchiha Ryosuke of this world.
His mind was still spinning.
If he had transmigrated into a civilian, or even a low-ranking ninja, maybe he could've quit and lived in peace.
But now? He was right in the middle of the clan scheduled for annihilation.
In less than three years, those two traitors would begin the Uchiha Massacre.
And what's worse?
Even death wouldn't mean peace.
He'd have his Sharingan gouged out for experimentation.
Maybe he'd be spared being turned into Danzo's arm, but still…
He sighed.
He had awakened the one-tomoe Sharingan, which wasn't much.
It paled in comparison to Sasuke's awakening at age 7, or Itachi's three-tomoe Sharingan at 13.
But it was still a Sharingan.
Thinking about his eyes being harvested and discarded like lab materials made him shudder.
At his current level, he was no match for those two monsters.
He needed to escape Konoha.
But defecting would get him labeled a rogue ninja.
Even if he escaped, Danzo's Root would hunt him.
And in the inherited memories, he had a grandfather—the very image of his grandfather from his previous life.
His parents had died in the Second Great Ninja War, killed by Kumogakure and Iwagakure ninjas.
Even more maddening: his transmigrated parents looked exactly like his real ones.
The Uchiha had given everything for Konoha—yet look how they were repaid.
The blame lay with the traitors and Konoha's corrupt leadership.
Without the Uchiha and Senju, Konoha would never have become what it was.
Now the Senju had withered away.
Soon, so would the Uchiha.
The Mighty Konoha would become history.
For now, he had to wait for his grandfather.
If he could convince him to leave, they might survive in some hidden corner of the world.
Surely even Danzo couldn't find them there.
Maybe they could re-emerge after the Fourth Great Ninja War.
But convincing his grandfather would be difficult.
The man was the Uchiha Clan's Grand Elder, even Uchiha Fugaku showed him respect.
That status made it nearly impossible to persuade him to abandon the clan.
Just then, a mechanical voice echoed in Ryosuke's head:
"Detected host transmigration. Auto Cultivation System binding in progress..."
"Binding successful."
Ryosuke's face lit up.
He got a system?
This was the legendary power-up arc!
An "Auto Cultivation System" sounded awesome.
If he had three years to train, he might just be able to punch Itachi and stomp Obito when the time came.
He was literally saved by a cheat code.
First things first—time to study the system.
"System, introduce yourself. What are your functions?"
The voice replied:
"This system is called the Auto Cultivation System."
"It helps the host set up training plans and cultivates automatically."
"You may now view your personal training dashboard to track your progress."
