Relying on his ancient wisdom from his previous life, he, now named Uchiha Jin, barely scraped by with the 'lying flat' philosophy.
Until, Konoha Year 50.
The Third Great Shinobi War was in full swing, and he, a fifth-year student at the Ninja Academy, gloriously became a Shinobi (cannon fodder)!
He was stunned.
Was Sarutobi Hiruzen, that old schemer, not even willing to let him graduate in his sixth year?
Uchiha Jin: "..."
He had a headache!
Externally, the Third Hokage targeted him, and Danzo, the 'King of Blame,' sharpened his knives.
Within the clan, there was a gathering of traitors.
There was Uchiha Shisui, who died for nothing, and Uchiha Itachi, who was magnanimous and devoted to Konoha, even going so far as to wipe out his entire clan!
And Uchiha Obito, who only wanted to destroy the world for Rin.
Damn it! My mentality has collapsed!
[Ding, congratulations Host for realizing the true meaning of life!]

Chapter 1: Transmigrated as Uchiha, Starting as 'Cannon Fodder'
Konoha, Year 50.
Land of Fire.
Ninja Academy, Fifth Year, Class B.
"First, congratulations to everyone."
"From today onwards, you have all become glorious Genin."
"Where tree leaves dance, flames will also burn."
"As long as there are leaves dancing, the flames will continue to illuminate the village, allowing new leaves to sprout and grow."
"..."
On the podium.
Sarutobi Takeo, wearing a Chunin green vest, was shouting loudly on stage.
Below the stage.
Countless civilian students wore Konoha headbands, their eyes filled with excitement and fervor, because becoming a ninja was their dream.
However, students from various prominent clans frowned slightly, their eyes flickering, and their expressions were very solemn.
In the back row, by the window seat.
A pale-faced, frail young man, his eyes full of helplessness, let out a soft sigh.
The clothes he wore were embroidered with a flame fan, which was enough to indicate his identity.
Yes.
His name was Uchiha Jin, and he was an Uchiha.
And more importantly, he was also a transmigrator.
"Ah, what a headache!"
"I thought I could drag it out until next year to graduate, but I never thought that old man Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't even spare fifth-year students."
"It seems the front lines are tight, and cannon fodder is urgently needed!"
Uchiha Jin's thoughts were racing.
He was 12 years old this year, the same age as Hatake Kakashi.
As for the 'filial son' Uchiha Itachi, he was only 4 years old this year.
He had already been directly dragged to the battlefield for training by the brain-dead Uchiha Fugaku.
He had been transmigrated for seven or eight years and hadn't awakened a system or anything like that.
His family had a lot of problems.
His parents were loyal followers of Uchiha Kagami, but with Uchiha Kagami's death, they lost the trust of the Third Hokage's faction, and were eventually purged by the radical Uchiha faction, dying during a mission a few years ago.
Therefore, now he was...
Unable to get close to the Hokage faction, and the Uchiha Clan didn't trust him either.
In short, he was hated by everyone.
Fortunately, his parents left behind a considerable inheritance, so his life was assured.
Although he hadn't awakened a system, his strength was not weak.
Relying on the ninjutsu scrolls left by his parents, in addition to the basic Three Body Technique and Chakra extraction technique, he now also mastered five Fire Release jutsu.
Three C-rank ninjutsu: Great Fireball, Phoenix Flower, and Flame Bullet.
Two B-rank: Great Fire Destruction and Violent Storm Dance.
As for the exclusive ninjutsu of the Uchiha Sharingan, Izanagi and Izanami, he didn't even dare to think about them!
Although his parents were both Jonin, because they were close to Uchiha Kagami, they naturally had no chance to learn such clan ninjutsu.
Of course.
It was also due to his parents' death that he had awakened his Sharingan long ago.
Most importantly, his was a Three-Tomoe.
If he was willing to show his strength, he could directly become an elite of the Uchiha Clan.
Even against his old classmate Hatake Kakashi, who had just been promoted to Jonin a few days ago, he was confident that even if he couldn't defeat him, he could at least hold his own.
But, unfortunately.
The Uchiha Clan was all sick, and sooner or later they would be wiped out by Uchiha Itachi.
He had no interest in joining a faction destined for destruction.
As for saving the Uchiha Clan?
Forget about it!
First, the difficulty was too great.
The Uchiha Clan was a typical bunch of simpletons, wanting to rebel but unable to make up their minds, only constantly chattering.
And, so proud!
Clinging to the glory of their ancestors, they looked down on everyone, yet they were a bunch of simple-minded people.
The entire clan was infiltrated by the Hokage faction like a sieve, and they didn't even know it, and then they had a leader like Uchiha Fugaku who lacked leadership skills. This guy was just a plasterer who kept patching things up, and had no other abilities whatsoever.
He had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, but never used it once in his life, and was then tricked by the Third Hokage's faction and directly killed by his own son.
As a leader, he lacked leadership skills.
As a father, he couldn't even raise his own son well.
For the simple-minded Uchiha Clan to have such a leader, it was hard for them not to be wiped out!
Want to change things? Forget about it.
Of course, more importantly, there was no emotional attachment!
Because his parents were loyal to Uchiha Kagami, the Uchiha Clan didn't consider him one of their own at all.
He wasn't Uchiha Shisui; he couldn't unconditionally forgive others.
So he only wanted to quietly improve his strength, and then just defect when the night of the clan's annihilation arrived.
As for now, he just wanted to lay low and develop.
Even though he now had the abilities of a Jonin, he still chose to stay in the Academy.
But, unfortunately.
Heaven wasn't giving him a chance!
Now that the Third Great Shinobi War had begun, the Third Kazekage and Sasori of Sunagakure Village had both disappeared simultaneously, and Sunagakure Village directly blamed Konoha, then brazenly launched a war.
Iwagakure and Cloud Village, seeing the opportunity, had long coveted the Land of Fire's territory, and also resolutely launched attacks.
Under these circumstances, Kirigakure was also preparing to take advantage of the chaos.
But at this time, Konoha truly had no more soldiers.
