Uchiha District
Ahem…
A child stirred, coughing from the smoke. His two-and-a-half-year-old body was curled behind the beams of the ancestral hall.
Through the carved wooden window, he could vaguely see nine crimson tails thrashing wildly in the night sky.
Rumble!
In the distance, debris rained down like a storm. The earth quaked, mountains trembled, and screams echoed through the blood-drenched moonlight.
"This is…"
The next moment, memories surged like a tidal wave.
In his previous life, he had bowed his head to bosses and beasts alike, died suddenly in a bathroom after working overtime.
Now, he had reincarnated into the Uchiha clan—as the second son of the patriarch.
The younger brother of "one-versus-seven," and the older brother of the "second pillar"—he was now Uchiha Jin.
He took several deep breaths to steady his mind, then looked at the nine crimson tails in the distance and muttered:
"This is… the Nine-Tails Rebellion, isn't it?"
"If I remember correctly, seven years after this comes the Uchiha clan's extermination…"
The thought of that night sent a chill down his spine.
But there was still time.
Seven years. Enough time to rewrite fate. If love can be shattered, then so can genocide.
Rumble!
The ancestral hall shook violently again. A wooden beam collapsed with a loud crash.
Instinctively, his small body rolled aside.
Crack.
The broken wood grazed his ear.
Surprisingly, his toddler body was more agile than expected—clearly well-trained.
But what truly stunned him was the light-blue screen that suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Ding! Host detected smiling in the face of death. God-Level Entry System activated. Novice gift pack available.] [Entry tiers: White (Common), Green (Refined), Blue (Rare), Purple (Epic), Gold (Legendary), Color (Divine), Black (Special)]
"God-Level Entry? As the son of the Uchiha patriarch, I should get something good, right?"
"No need to be greedy. Just give me two golden legendary entries."
Grinning, he looked down at his hands.
But instead of gold, he saw black and purple light.
[Seven-Year Itch (Black): You are manic and will only live for seven years.] [Strong (White): You are faster than average.] [Fire Release Affinity (Blue): You grasp Fire Release techniques faster.] [Prominent Life Experience (Purple): As the son of the Uchiha patriarch, you held high status before the clan's extermination.]
Decent talent—except for the ticking clock.
He took a deep breath. "Open the newbie gift pack!"
[Gift pack opened. Congratulations! You've received: – Novice two-piece set – God-Level Entry: Golden Body of Light – God-Level Entry: Weak Presence]
"God-Level Entry? Why do these sound like troll perks…"
Jin Uchiha's small brows furrowed as he examined the entries.
[Golden Body of Light (Color): When exposed to light, activates a golden body that avoids damage and absorbs sunlight to generate chakra.] [Weak Presence (Color): When silent, your presence is lower than a roadside pebble.]
"So I can grow stronger just by sunbathing… and I'm invincible in light?"
His smile faded into awe.
What did the Uchiha clan lack most?
Development.
The clan was full of prideful hotheads who couldn't survive long enough to evolve.
But now, he had seven years to grow.
Chat with his clansmen. Bond with "one-versus-seven." Mentor the "second pillar."
In seven years, unlocking a Mangekyō Sharingan should be no problem.
"Still… this golden body could use a flash effect."
If the system had given him just a bit more, he could've coasted through life.
Outside, chaos reigned.
Anbu voices rang out:
"Not good! Barrier squad is barely holding! Don't let Nine-Tails chakra leak into the village!" "Evacuate! Civilians, stay indoors!" "Uchiha clan members are forbidden from leaving!"
The air was thick with panic.
Jin's eyes lit up. He turned toward the village outskirts.
Nine crimson tails raged in the sky, bound by glowing chains.
The beast was cornered—like a dying animal.
According to the plot, the Nine-Tails was about to be sealed.
And Kushina… would die with it.
"System, if I touch Minato's body after he dies… what's the chance I'll get the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
As if responding, more system prompts appeared:
[Touching a corpse for 30 seconds guarantees a random entry.] [Talking to someone for 10+ minutes gives a small chance to copy their entry. Defeating someone gives a high chance.] [Entries can be fused and upgraded.]
"So I need to wait 30 seconds after Minato dies to loot him?"
Without hesitation, Jin glanced at the two masked Anbu at the door, then darted out the side exit.
Time was tight.
Rustle.
His tiny feet padded across the soft ground.
Two Root ninjas perched in a tree near the Uchiha compound, watching the battle anxiously.
But they had orders: guard the Uchiha. Record everything.
Whoosh—
A gust of wind blew past. They raised their arms to shield themselves.
"The Nine-Tails' power is insane." "Yeah… you can feel it even here."
Neither noticed the small figure slipping through the shadows below.
Not just them—the fleeing villagers didn't see him either.
Even passing Anbu ignored him.
The Weak Presence entry was in full effect.
Even the violent chakra storms seemed to bend around him.
"This entry… it's basically invisibility."
Jin looked down at his body, eyes gleaming with mischief far beyond his years.
"Who can tell the difference between me and a ghost?"
He picked up speed.
His short legs kicked up sparks.
Ten minutes later, he was close.
Panting, he clutched his waist and looked up—
Only to see a fiery red blur.
One of the Nine-Tails' massive tails was crashing toward him, wrapped in rubble.
Boom!
In that moment of life and death, moonlight spilled onto Jin's body through the shattered trees.
Buzz—buzz—
Golden light particles seeped from his pores, forming a honeycomb-like shield around him.
Boom!
The tail, powerful enough to shatter mountains, slammed into the golden barrier.
Whoosh!
But instead of crushing him, the tail passed through like sunlight through dust.
Not even a scratch.
Jin sat beneath the golden glow, completely unharmed.
He even had time to inspect his hand—now semi-transparent in the moonlight.
"So this is damage immunity… powered by sunlight?"
He looked at his glowing palm, then burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha!"
The Four Masters of the Uchiha? Start with Jin.
