March 13, Year 47 of Konoha
In a quiet grove near Konoha Village, two figures flickered rapidly, their fists clashing with deafening force. The sheer impact sent shockwaves through the area, causing trees to splinter and fall one after another.
BANG!!
A dull crash echoed as one of the fighters—a young man with thick eyebrows, clad in a green jumpsuit and sporting a bowl-cut hairstyle—was sent flying backward. He tumbled through the air, smashing into several large trees before finally coming to a stop.
Opposite him stood a handsome young man, dressed in a sleek black combat outfit layered with white segmented armor. A faint smirk played on his lips as he slowly clenched his fists.
"Guy, you're losing again."
"Youth burns with passion! I will not be discouraged!"
Despite the setback, the thick-browed youth sprang to his feet with unwavering enthusiasm, flashing his brilliant white teeth. "Yuta, let's go again!"
"No, I have to clock in for work."
Uchiha Yuta reached into his pocket and retrieved a white ANBU-style mask with a clown-like design. As he placed it over his face, he spoke in an indifferent tone, "Your taijutsu isn't strong enough yet. Do three thousand more push-ups today."
"Understood!"
Might Guy grinned, giving a thumbs-up as he struck a dramatic pose. "The flames of youth burn brighter than ever! From today onward, I will train like a madman!"
"Hmph." Uchiha Yuta nodded silently, adjusting his mask.
However, at that moment, Might Guy's expression turned uncharacteristically serious. "Yuta, do you really plan to spend your days like this? Why not do something more for Konoha?"
"I patrol the streets every day. That counts as serving Konoha, doesn't it?" Uchiha Yuta shrugged dismissively.
"You... You!"
Might Guy sighed in exasperation but quickly replaced it with his usual radiant smile. What more could he say? He genuinely considered Uchiha Yuta a friend.
Of course, he had another genius friend—the prodigy Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi had graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of five, became a genin shortly after, was promoted to chunin at six, and reached jonin rank by the age of twelve.
But alas…
Ever since the Battle of Kannabi Bridge—where both Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha perished—Kakashi had been deeply scarred, both mentally and emotionally. Upon his return to Konoha, he spiraled into a state of disillusionment and lethargy.
Uchiha Yuta had been in the same class as Kakashi. He, too, graduated at five, became a genin at six, and had yet to take the jonin exam.
Yet Might Guy knew the truth—Yuta already possessed the strength of a jonin.
During the chunin exams, Uchiha Yuta had displayed astonishing talent, catching the attention of multiple factions. The ANBU, Root, and even two of the legendary Sannin—Orochimaru and Jiraiya—had all extended invitations to him.
But, to everyone's shock, Uchiha Yuta chose to join the Konoha Military Police Force.
At the time, the decision caused an uproar. The Police Force primarily handled village law enforcement—a far cry from battlefield experience. Many viewed it as a waste of his potential.
Ultimately, due to Uchiha clan politics, the ANBU, Root, and other interested parties reluctantly accepted Yuta's decision.
Years passed.
Kakashi had experienced countless battles, serving under Minato Namikaze—the legendary "Yellow Flash."
Meanwhile, Uchiha Yuta faded into obscurity within the Konoha Police Force. If not for his reputation as a former genius, many might have forgotten about him entirely.
The reason was simple—Konoha had no shortage of geniuses.
Moreover, the Uchiha clan had deliberately kept a low profile in recent years.
"Alright, I'm off."
Noticing Might Guy's expression, Uchiha Yuta stretched lazily and spoke with a knowing smile. "I hope you improve your taijutsu before our next match."
Yes, he was a transmigrator.
It had been almost eleven years since he arrived in the Naruto world.
His parents had died during a mission. Upon realizing he had been reborn into the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Yuta had felt nothing but despair. He knew the clan's fate all too well. He also knew how thoroughly Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire.
Thus, from an early age, he trained relentlessly, determined to carve out his own path and defy destiny.
With knowledge and maturity far beyond his peers, he swiftly climbed the ranks, becoming a genin at five and a chunin at six.
But then…
Just before his jonin promotion, something unexpected happened—he awakened a god-tier sign-in system.
By checking in at specific locations, he could obtain random rewards. He could even set a permanent check-in point, and checking in at special locations would yield even greater benefits.
Without hesitation, Uchiha Yuta set Konoha Village as his permanent check-in location.
At the same time, he abandoned his original ambition of joining ANBU. He had no desire to be shackled by Hiruzen Sarutobi's control. Instead, he opted for the laid-back Police Force.
Once he joined, he made a conscious decision to stay under the radar. He worked diligently but avoided drawing attention. He trained in secret, signed in regularly, and quietly amassed power while waiting for the right moment.
"Yuta, don't worry! My taijutsu will definitely become stronger!"
Might Guy's voice rang out energetically as he struck another dramatic pose before immediately dropping into a push-up stance.
"Good."
Whoosh!
A sudden gust of wind blew through the grove.
Sensing something, Uchiha Yuta's lips curled slightly. Without another word, his figure blurred into an afterimage and vanished.
