[ Shadow Clone Jutsu: 3 Chakra Points ]
Copy it. Jun echoed in his mind. Since he couldn't copy the Talk-no-Jutsu, he opted in for the next best skill from Naruto.
What he didn't expect when he saw the list of available skills from Naruto was the eight trigrams seal technique which is used to seal the nine tails. Though, that costs 50 points, and he disregarded it.

"Ah, sorry about that. I just wanted to meet the MVP of the previous exam." After copying the shadow clone Jutsu, Jun let go of Naruto's shoulder and turned with a grin so calm it bordered on unsettling.
"Uhh— okay? And what's your name? You look like a leaf shinobi but you definitely aren't from our year. And what's with the touchy touchy stuff? You're not into me, are you?" Naruto stepped back and rubbed his arms like he was creeped out.
Sakura shot him a sharp sideways glare with an 'are you serious?', her lips pressed tight like she was trying not to groan out loud.
Jun chuckled softly, holding his hands up in mock surrender. He then recalled his name as it appeared on the Death Waiver along with some educated guesses and continued.
"No offense meant. Name's Jun Utsushi. Just an older Genin trying to make the cut for Chūnin. As for what I'm doing here… I just wanted to meet you, Naruto Uzumaki."
He leaned in a little, voice lowering just enough to sound conspiratorial.
"Why? It's because I admire you. You're something else. Courage, chaos, and a whole lot of stubbornness packed into one little dynamite stick during the previous exam. I was impressed."
Naruto lit up.
"Ah, well if you say so! Hahaha! Of course, someone like me who's going to become Hokage one day should be able to do that!" He struck a proud pose, chin up, fists on his hips. Jun could almost swear the guy's nose did stretch skyward.
Sakura coughed and looked away, just barely hiding a smirk. To be honest, she too was somewhat proud of Naruto in the previous exam.
Then Jun's expression shifted as he turned to face the last member of the trio.
"But you're the one I really came to meet… Sasuke Uchiha."
Still suspicious, Sasuke gave Jun another overall look. He has black hair, and black eyes, but other than that, he looks like your average Shinobi.
"What do you want?"
His voice was cold, low. The Forest of Death was minutes from opening, and he didn't like unknown variables. Jun could've done something to track Naruto when he had his hands on Naruto's shoulders.
"I just want to confirm something." Jun said with a strange smile as he reached his hand outwards towards Sasuke.
What did he want? Obviously he wanted to copy something!
Sasuke looked at it, unimpressed. For a second, it seemed like he might just walk away. But instead, he reached out and shook it before replying.
"Fine. Just don't get in my way."
Jun's grin stretched wider, almost like he'd been waiting for that.

COPY THE SHARINGAN!
Jun yelled in his mind. The System was finally putting up a price that he likes. Even though it would take away half of his chakra points, he needed to have it. What if the price goes up later after Sasuke evolves it? He couldn't let this opportunity go!

"Let go!" Sasuke yanked his hand away after it was held for far too long. The person in front of him definitely had an agenda, and Sasuke didn't like it.
"Ah, sorry about that. I really just wanted to confirm something…
While maniacally grinning on the inside, Jun decided to inject his presence into this world like a virus.
"...My little brother Sasuke!!" He said with a wide grin on his face.
"..."
Sasuke blinked. His brain then hit a speed bump.
Little brother?
The only person who called him that was Itachi—!!
The next moment, Sasuke saw that the eyes of the person in front of him began to wrap and turn red. The tomoes that's undoubtedly of the Uchiha clan began to spin and flicker into place.
Immediately, Sasuke felt unrelenting rage as well as fear. He had always wanted to get revenge on Itachi… but he knew he couldn't go against Itachi. If they fought here right now, he knew for sure that Itachi can swipe the floor with all the shinobi here.
But even still, he had to protect the people here. Hence, he reached into his ninja pouch and grabbed a kunai, intending to stab the person in front of him.
However… he stopped.
Why?
There were only two tomoe in the eyes of the person in front of him.
Sasuke froze.
His grip loosened on the kunai and his fingers trembled slightly.
That… that wasn't Itachi. It couldn't be. Itachi has the 3 tomoe Sharingan and something more…
But those eyes—those were definitely Uchiha eyes.
Jun, on the other hand, looked like he just won the lottery. And in a way, he had.
"Wait—" Naruto pointed, blinking rapidly. "Did your eyes just turn red? Like Sasuke's and Kakashi Sensei's?"
Jun turned to him with a proud, completely unearned air of seniority.
"Ah, good eye, Naruto. Very observant. As expected of a future Hokage."
Sakura squinted. "Wait a second… that's not a genjutsu. That's real. That's a Sharingan."
Jun gave a slow, theatrical sigh—like a man revealing a deeply buried family secret that no one asked for.
"Well… I suppose the cat's out of the bag." He folded his arms and nodded to himself, then looked straight at Sasuke.
"My name is Jun Utsushi. And I'm… your father Fugaku's illegitimate son.. In a word, your brother."
Naruto's jaw fell open so hard Jun was worried it might dislocate. "HUH!?"
Sakura's brain blue-screened.
Sasuke blinked once. Then again.
"…What?"
Jun nodded, absolutely stone-faced. "I grew up in secret in the village, hidden because of the shame my existence would bring. It's a classic tale, really. It's filled with forbidden love, political pressure, and tragic sacrifices…" He wiped an imaginary tear from his eye. "I was the hidden branch. The… forgotten tomoe, if you will."
Naruto started laughing, unsure if he was supposed to. "Wait, wait. So you're, like, Sasuke's older brother?"
Jun held up two fingers. "Half-brother. Technically. Emotionally? Let's just say… we'll get there.""
Sasuke stared at him like he wanted to incinerate him with raw hatred alone. If Amaterasu was unlocked by annoyance, Jun would be ash already.
And yet—Sasuke couldn't deny what he saw.
A non-Uchiha wouldn't be able to activate the Sharingan at will. Transplants wouldn't be able to inactivate the Sharingan. Yet Jun had it, and he activated it with no strain and no struggles.
Jun took a step closer and clapped Sasuke gently on the shoulder. "Don't worry, little bro. I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to protect you. The Uchiha legacy lives on… in both of us."
Jun cackled on the inside because he will now also be an Uchiha.
As for ruining the story, or creating a severe butterfly effect? Who the heck cares! His existence will already have an effect. He might as well do whatever he can to fit into the puzzle as quickly as possible, even if that means throwing the world into chaos.
Then, with the turn of his head, he looked towards Sakura.
Sakura also blushed when Jun looked over. Her thoughts began to run wild, and her inner fangirl personality yelped.
Oh. Oh no. He's looking. He's got that cool, broody thing going on too. And now that I'm really seeing his face… is it just me, or does he kind of—
Jun snorted.
Audibly.
Turned.
And walked away without a word.
...What the hell!? Sakura's soul exploded.
"?!?! WHY?! What was that snort! CHA!!!" Sakura screamed internally as her inner persona started flipping desks and setting fire to the emotional furniture in her brain.
Jun didn't look back.
He didn't even want to touch Sakura at the moment. She is useless. Why would he waste some time touching her? Plus, he wanted to save his Chakra Points. He used too much of it as it already is.
Meanwhile Team 7 was overwhelmed by the news, Jun headed back to his team, barely resisting the urge to cackle.
His teammates gawked at him as he reappeared.
"Why the hell did you go to those rookies?" Kentaro snapped.
"Like I said, I just went to greet them," Jun said, brushing imaginary dust from his sleeve like he hadn't just hijacked the Uchiha narrative in under five minutes.
"Alright, stop messing around now. It's almost time to start. Our team was called," Kentaro rolled his eyes and walked towards the booth that called their team over.
The mean girl squinted as she looked at Jun. "Wait… were your eyes always that red?"
Jun shook his head. "Must be the lighting."
He had just deactivated his Sharingan. To be fair, he still couldn't keep it on for long. He looked at the System Prompt that followed him around.
