In the 55th year of Konoha.
Several years have gone by since the Nine Tails assault, and the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, has regained control.
When the Nine Tails appeared, many witnessed the Sharingan, and Konoha's high-ranking officials were displeased.
As a result, the position of the Uchiha clan has become increasingly awkward in Konoha.
They have essentially been relegated to the outskirts.
The political sphere is nearly entirely missing.
The power of the security department is confined to minor disputes involving ordinary civilians.
Because of various rumors, their reputation among the villagers isn't very positive either.
Concerning how to alter the status quo, this is the ambition of many Uchiha clan members.
At the Uchiha clan.
"The patriarch's son has become an Anbu captain."
"We possess strength in Anbu, as anticipated of Itachi."
"Let's hurry. I heard that the clan leaders are convening now. . ."
In the room, Uchiha Naraku's sharp senses could make out snippets of Uchiha conversations passing by.
He was positioned by the window with a crutch in one hand, his expression contorted, and one hand shielding his face. Through the spaces between his fingers, the scarlet three-tomoe eyes appeared quite foreboding.
He felt a bit of satisfaction as a typical Uchiha would.
"Time is drawing nearer; is this the year yet?"
"Still unable to escape this fate? Damn, Danzo."
"And Uchiha Fugaku, that fool didn't take my words seriously at all."
"Uchiha Itachi, I can't even confront this guy. Is this my end?"
Uchiha Naraku was a regressor from the future, and due to his memories, he was aware of certain upcoming events.
He had striven harder than others since childhood. He activated the Three Tomoe Sharingan by the age of fifteen and became a Jōnin.
He also made a name for himself during the Third Ninja War, but as the adage goes, if a tree grows tall in the woods, the wind will bring it down.
During the third conflict, due to Danzo's orders, he fell victim to an ambush from a rival ninja village. The outcome was nearly crippling for his body.
Only three to four tenths of his strength remain, mainly the Sharingan's power, and his body is incapable of walking normally.
Though he is not mistreated within the family, his status has definitely diminished, and some of his opinions go unheard by others.
'If I recall correctly, the Uchiha clan was exterminated this year.'
"Foolish Uchiha Fugaku, you worthless piece of trash, and these Konoha elites deserve to perish."
"Even if I die, I won't make it easy for you."
Reflecting on the past and contemplating dying again, Uchiha Naraku wanted to inflict extreme harm on Konoha, and wild, reckless thoughts continuously surged in his mind.
Resentment appeared to engulf his entire being. The Three Tomoe Sharingan continued to spin but did not achieve the state of Mangekyō Sharingan.
He attempted to awaken Mangekyō numerous times but consistently lacked a crucial element.
[Ding, the host's resentment has been detected, and the extreme system is initiated.]
[Extreme system. As long as the host engages in extreme actions and causes others to perceive the host as extreme, he will earn rewards.
[Ding, the host's extreme thoughts have granted +500 eye power.]
Accompanying the sound, a surge of warmth radiated from his head, causing Uchiha Naraku's eyes to throb.
Shortly thereafter, as if some limitation had been lifted, the three tomoe spun swiftly and ultimately shaped into three and a half moons.
Everything occurred unexpectedly.
As someone who had been reborn, he had contemplated the presence of the system countless times, but it had never manifested, regardless of his struggles or the aftermath of his disability. He was not anticipating its appearance at this moment.
"I still have an opportunity. . . Regardless of whether it's the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, or anyone else, bring it on. . . "
After verifying the system's functions and his own Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Naraku's previous thoughts resurfaced.
Given that Konoha would not allow him to survive, he would not show them mercy.
'And Uchiha Fugaku, if you are so ineffective, don't hold it against me for taking matters into my own hands.'
'Hmm. Extreme, is it? Let's embrace extremity'.
'It's either life or death. Let's make this world thrive'.
Regarding his Mangekyō ability, Uchiha Naraku also immediately confirmed it.
[Illusion-like dream: The capability to allow individuals to enter a dreamland. As long as the opponent cannot awaken, their body will be under your control.
[The power of the gods: Enhance abilities; whether it's ninjutsu, illusion, or physical skills, their strength will be amplified.]
One of the two abilities is simpler than the other.
Perhaps due to his own mindset, the power awakened by Sharingan is precisely what he requires most.
After all, Sharingan is also referred to as the Eye of Psychic Reflection.
'It would be wonderful if I could also heal my body right now.'
Uchiha Naraku was not in haste; his body was not irreparable.
One person was Tsunade. 'I had previously heard that the Sannin Tsunade should be able to save me, but she was not present in the village when I was injured, and she never returned.'
'Uchiha lacked the connections to locate Tsunade, and regarding the village, they were even more eager for something adverse to occur to the Uchiha clan, so they would not offer treatment.'
'There is still the system. If I exert effort now, perhaps the system can provide what I require'.
Looking up outside, it was growing dark now. Uchiha Naraku was gripping a cane, limping toward the location where Uchiha Fugaku resided.
Even though he was aware that they should be convening at the Uchiha Shrine now, he still needed to prepare beforehand.
...
At a spacious villa belonging to the Uchiha clan resided the family of Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Mikoto was quite taken aback upon seeing Uchiha Naraku's arrival.
The gifted young man, renowned within the clan, usually visited Fugaku frequently, but lately, his visits had dwindled significantly.
"Jun Naraku. Are you here to meet Fugaku? He is presently in a meeting at the ancestral hall."
"If you don't mind, please come in and relax for a while."
Observing Uchiha Naraku, who was still clutching a crutch, she signaled and welcomed him inside.
She continued to hold Uchiha Naraku in high regard. Had it not been for the incident on the battlefield, he would currently provide invaluable assistance to the family.
"You are too kind, madam, so I will excuse myself…"
Uchiha Naraku offered a gentle smile. It was indeed inappropriate to linger at the entrance.
"We're here."
Uchiha Mikoto guided Uchiha Naraku to the inner courtyard and ultimately to the living room, where a small child was playing. As he saw Uchiha Naraku enter, he immediately halted his activities.
"This is Sasuke; you should have met him before."
"Sasuke, this is your brother Naraku," Uchiha Mikoto introduced.
"Brother Naraku."
Even though Uchiha Sasuke was young, he spoke with a maturity that belied his age.
After surveying the area, Uchiha Naraku inquired.
"Hello little Sasuke, is Itachi not at home?"
"Itachi is on a mission, but he hasn't returned…"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto seemed to reflect on her eldest son, with whom communication had increasingly become scarce.
Uchiha Itachi's absence could possibly be due to his circumstances or simply bad luck.
It made it easier for him to act.
"Madam, I have come to see you this time. I require your assistance with something."
Without focusing too much on Sasuke, Uchiha Naraku addressed the gentle woman.
He did not intend to underestimate her; he was fully aware that she was not weak.
If his body had still been impaired without Mangekyō, this plan would have been straightforward.
As for now, Mangekyō suffices, and he feels that his ocular power has augmented several times.
