Chapter 242 — "So He's Just a… Little Brat?"
Fugaku hadn't even exerted real pressure before the kid collapsed.
…Was he really this weak?
Fugaku was speechless—but not careless.
Even though the transmigrator appeared to fall instantly under his illusion, there was always the possibility of some hidden cheat ability. With that in mind, Fugaku immediately layered a Tsukuyomi onto his basic illusion, dragging the boy's consciousness fully into his Mangekyō Genjutsu world.
Inside the red-tinted Tsukuyomi realm, Fugaku began a direct interrogation.
"Do you have any golden finger abilities? A System, for example?"
The System question came first—because that determined almost everything. He himself had a System. If another transmigrator appeared, odds were good they had something similar.
To his mild surprise:
"No System," the boy answered stiffly, eyes unfocused under Tsukuyomi's influence.
But Fugaku didn't celebrate. He pressed further.
"Other golden fingers? Any other cheat-like abilities?"
"No."
Fugaku's gaze sharpened.
If that was true… this transmigrator was unusually pitiful.
He continued:
"Have you awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Usually, transmigrators inside Uchiha bodies would scramble to awaken their Mangekyō. Knowledge of the plot made it obvious—Mangekyō was the key to jumping in power.
But the boy answered:
"No."
Fugaku looked at him again—this time with actual pity.
A transmigrator with no System, no cheat ability, and no Sharingan awakening?
What was even the point of transmigrating…?
By comparison, his own starting conditions were incredible:
He had awakened directly inside Uchiha Fugaku's body, inherited Fugaku's Mangekyō, and even acquired the Eternal Mangekyō by harvesting Itachi's eyes with the System's help. Beautiful wife, dominant political position, unrivaled power…
Fugaku continued the interrogation:
"You watched Naruto, right?"
"Yes."
So his only "cheat" was plot knowledge?
But because Fugaku's actions had already altered countless events, the original plotline had deviated heavily. Meaning: even this boy's foresight was nearly useless.
A harmless transmigrator, then.
His vigilance eased.
A dangerous transmigrator must be eliminated without hesitation…
But a powerless one with no backing, no talent, and no special ability?
There was no need to kill him.
Konoha was fully under Fugaku's control. The boy had zero chance of overturning anything. Zero influence. Zero connections. Zero threat.
Fugaku only needed to assign a jōnin—say, Tenten—to watch him 24/7. If the boy twitched wrong, Fugaku could eliminate him instantly.
Of course, the kid would not be allowed to leave Konoha. Even weak, his plot knowledge could still cause problems if sold to another village.
But keeping him alive and contained was fine.
He was, after all, a fellow person from Earth.
And truthfully… ever since transmigrating here, Fugaku occasionally felt lonely.
He had no one to speak with in his native tongue.
No one who understood his past world.
He found himself growing curious.
"What year did you transmigrate?"
The boy did not answer—likely unaware of the exact timing.
Fugaku changed the angle:
"What year were you born?"
The reply came at once:
"2001."
Fugaku blinked.
Post-2000?
So he was practically a kid—easily a full generation younger. Fugaku himself had been from the late '80s.
Interesting.
"And where are you from?" Fugaku asked casually.
Maybe—just maybe—he was from the same region. A fellow townsman from Earth would be even more harmless, someone he could occasionally chat with in private.
"I'm from Sapporo, Hokkaido."
Fugaku's pleasant expression froze.
Then darkened.
Then completely collapsed into cold killing intent.
"So that's why you were acting so arrogant…" Fugaku muttered, voice sinking.
"Turns out… you're a little island brat."
