The Ninja World is a cruel place, so minors, please exit. This is a story of the growth of a beloved Uchiha.
It was late September, and the autumn wind was crisp.
Since its founding, Konoha Village has developed through three generations to its current state of prosperity and abundance, but the development of the other four Villages has not lagged behind. Especially, the brainwashing of the Hidden Cloud Village's people is far more thought-provoking than the Will of Fire written by Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi. Thus, with similar military strength, those howling wolf cubs naturally wanted to pull Konoha Village, the uncrowned king of the Ninja World, off its pedestal once again.
With the sun high in the sky, in the meeting room below the South He Shrine, Fugaku, after receiving a nod from the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, began to assign tasks to the Uchiha Clan members:
"Given that the Hidden Cloud Village has a precedent of establishing an intelligence base within Konoha Village and abducting Kushina, the Police Force must conduct thorough investigations during the Five Kage Summit before next year's joint Chunin Exams. Absolutely no accidents can occur."
As for the war clouds mentioned by the Third Hokage, Fugaku did not voice them. The Uchiha Clan members were prone to emotional outbursts, and if someone overreacted during the Five Kage Summit and showed hostility towards people from other Villages, causing trouble, it would be difficult to resolve.
"Yes! Fugaku-sama, rest assured!"
The Uchiha Clan members, seated on cushions to the left and right, responded in unison.
However, a closer look would reveal that some of them responded perfunctorily. Yet, Fugaku, as the clan head, showed no change in expression. Instead, he nodded and began to speak of a final personal matter:
"This day next month, Mikoto and I will be holding our wedding. I hope everyone who is free can attend!"
"I object!!!"
No sooner had Uchiha Fugaku announced his marriage to Mikoto than a tender, clear voice rang out from below.
Though the voice was tender, it carried a certain muffled, confident tone, causing everyone present to involuntarily turn their gaze towards its source.
"Gekka! This is not your place to speak! Mind your manners!"
The smile on Uchiha Setsuna's wrinkled face flickered and vanished, and he coldly rebuked him.
Although Gekka, his grandson, had mediocre talent, he perfectly inherited the essence of the Uchiha Clan—handsomeness! Now, he had even abandoned his laid-back demeanor and started to confront Fugaku like him, which filled him with great comfort, secretly thinking that he had an heir.
However, he wasn't simply vying for power with Fugaku; he genuinely wanted to secure more benefits for the Uchiha, though his methods were extreme. Therefore, seeing his grandson Gekka meddle in Fugaku's private life, he also felt it was a bit inappropriate.
"Gekka, do you know who you're talking to? Someone like you, who barely graduated from the Ninja Academy, is only here because Elder Setsuna needed the Clan Head's help. Strictly speaking, you, who haven't even awakened the Sharingan, have no right to sit here."
Uchiha Yashiro also stood up, his face cold, and questioned him repeatedly.
For a moment, the meeting room was clearly divided. Uchiha Fugaku's inner circle was either indignant, standing up, or glaring at Gekka with their crimson Sharingan activated, while Uchiha Setsuna's hawkish members remained silent, as if it didn't concern them.
A Ninja clan is a group that highly values seniority. Although Gekka was the grandson of an elder, his own qualifications were mediocre, so it was his just deserts to be rebuked in such a serious atmosphere.
From the number of people present, it was clear that the Clan Head's faction was the legitimate one, with twice as many members as the hawkish faction. However, Gekka was not flustered at all. He simply didn't want Itachi to be born. Fugaku + Mikoto would combine to form the golden legend, Uchiha Itachi, and he would send everyone present to their graves thirteen years later. This was why he, a transmigrator, was acting so irrationally.
It was a pity his talent was mediocre. Even when his parents in this life both passed away, he felt no emotional fluctuation, perhaps because of too many memories from his previous life! In short, he hadn't even awakened a single tomoe. As for a system...
If he had something like that, he wouldn't be at the bottom of the Ninja Academy. Now, the dead last in the academy wasn't Obito anymore; it was him, Gekka Uchiha.
Fortunately, his status within the Uchiha Clan was still somewhat influential. Internally, Fugaku was striving to unite all, both hawks and doves, while externally, Hiruzen Sarutobi was adopting a conciliatory policy towards the Uchiha.
So!
His graduation only needed a word from Fugaku, which meant Setsuna just had to soften his stance once!
"Hmph!"
Gekka stood up, looked around, and coldly snorted, saying indifferently:
"Mikoto-nee is pregnant with my child!"
"What!????"
"???"
...
The meeting room fell silent for a moment, even the previously indignant dove faction members stared wide-eyed at Mikoto, who was beside Fugaku.
Uchiha Mikoto, a Konoha Jonin, wore a green Ninja combat uniform and had her hair tied in a high ponytail. Her appearance was clear and refined, with an elegant, serene, and intellectual beauty. However, at this moment, she too was stunned by Gekka's words.
This news was explosive, practically threatening to ignite a civil war within the Uchiha Clan.
"You, what nonsense are you spouting! Gekka!"
Setsuna and Mikoto simultaneously stood up and exclaimed.
"Fugaku, Gekka is still young and doesn't know any better, that's why he's talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart..."
Setsuna and Mikoto's tones synchronized eerily again, and both of them froze.
This instantly made Fugaku's face turn completely black.
Could such a coincidence exist?
"Could it be that Uchiha Setsuna really got in touch with Mikoto beforehand? Planning for Mikoto to be his grandson's wife?"
"No way? How many years are between them? Look how much taller Mikoto is than Gekka?"
"What's wrong with that..."
The scene became chaotic for a moment, with too many people whispering below. Fugaku was still trying to maintain his composure, listening to Mikoto's explanation.
Something about how they were just ordinary friends, and didn't meet often...
Gekka Uchiha, as the person involved, looked blankly ahead as if nothing had happened.
[Host has successfully caused extreme emotional fluctuations in an elite Jonin. Emotion Appraisal has begun]
[Currently activated appraisal: Uchiha Fugaku: Green]
[Uchiha Mikoto: Green]
[Uchiha Setsuna: Green]
...
Then Gekka saw 2D drawings of all the Uchiha Ninja present appear on the system interface's expanded album, with a small green fruit floating above each drawing.
[Collected attribute fruits can be used for gacha. Each fruit allows one draw]
[The Appraisal Album unlocks sequentially based on emotional fluctuation: initial White → Green → Blue → Purple → Orange → Colorful]
[Currently, more than ten Green appraisals are activated, opening the Green Turntable. Prize pool items are granted by the appraised Ninja according to their level. The Green Turntable can store all rewards obtained by the host]
Gekka Uchiha looked at the rewards listed on the turntable's prize pool, including shuriken, short swords, explosive tags, Ninja tool proficiency, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique...
He tried to collect the fruits and actually collected thirty-one fruits in a row, corresponding exactly to the number of people present besides himself. This meant he had caused extreme emotional fluctuations in everyone present.
"Hahahahahahaha... Hahaha..."
"Nine years... Nine years..."
"I won't be the dead last anymore..."
"Hahahaha!"
Gekka Uchiha suddenly stood up, acting like a madman, and ran outside, leaving the people in the meeting room looking at each other.
"He's crazy! He's not crazy, is he?"
An Uchiha Clan member said in disbelief.
"Gekka—"
Uchiha Setsuna also suddenly came to his senses and sighed. From the moment he heard Gekka utter those shocking words, he knew something bad was going to happen. He just didn't expect the outcome to be so unbearable, so he repeatedly apologized and quickly chased after him.
"Alright, Mikoto, you don't need to explain! Perhaps Gekka's lack of parents from a young age made him very close to you, and now that he sees you're getting married, he's just talking nonsense. I won't hold it against him."
Fugaku turned his head, his rigid expression gone, and instead comforted the nervous Mikoto.
Upon hearing Fugaku's words, Mikoto's heart ached again.
She wasn't a woman of particularly outstanding beauty, but with her gentle, virtuous, and understanding personality, she was well-regarded within the clan. Now, hearing that Gekka, at such a young age, had gone mad because of her personal affairs, how could she bear it?
