Chapter 1 Uchiha Chiba, Three Tomoe Sharingan
Konoha, the Hidden Leaf Village, has reached its 56th year of existence.
As the morning sun cast its radiant rays over Konoha Village, a skinny black-haired boy stood in a small courtyard within the Uchiha tribe. He gazed at the reddish hues of the sunrise, his heart filled with a profound mix of emotions.
Little did he expect that after a mere night's sleep, he would find himself transported to the ninja world of Hokage and inhabiting the body of a boy named Uchiha Chiba.
Chiba's parents were members of the Uchiha clan, and his father, Uchiha Yan, remained a formidable figure even now, having mastered the Three-Hook Jade technique.
During a critical mission amidst the Ninja War, Uchiha Yan and his wife joined forces with members from the Shimura and Sarutobi clans. The mission proved exceedingly perilous, forcing Uchiha Yan to make a heart-wrenching decision—to sacrifice his companion in order to save his wife.
The news of this incident caused a major uproar upon their return to Konoha. Within the Uchiha clan, the family of three faced intense scrutiny and isolation. Sarcastic remarks and overwhelming guilt plagued Uchiha Yan, deteriorating his physical well-being, while his wife sank into a deep depression.
Several years ago, both of Chiba's parents tragically passed away, leaving him alone to bear the weight of their absence.
Although the turmoil of that fateful year had gradually subsided, its impact on Chiba's life remained profound. He found himself in a situation akin to Kakashi after his father, known as the White Fang, tragically took his own life.
In the execution of his tasks, Chiba strictly adhered to the rigid principles of the ninja code. He treated others with indifference, avoiding any emotional attachments, akin to a lone wolf navigating the wilderness.
Chiba briefly felt sympathy for his predecessor, but soon he became consumed by his own predicament. As the 56th year of Konoha arrived, so too did the approaching anniversary of the Uchiha clan's genocide—a night of infamy that haunted the village.
Subconsciously, the idea of defecting crossed Chiba's mind. After all, he was just a 15-year-old boy! Despite possessing the Two Tomoe Sharingan, a symbol of genius within the Uchiha clan, rebelling against Uchiha Itachi and the influential Konoha executives with their Mangekyō Sharingan seemed nothing more than wishful thinking.
Chiba saw only one inevitable outcome—a grim dead end. He no longer cared about the life or death of the Uchiha clan. However, attempting to escape with his current strength would only invite certain demise. The Anbu and Root organizations of Konoha were far from ordinary opponents.
"Are we condemned to await our own demise?" Chiba's frustration surged, overwhelming him.
At that crucial moment, a pleasant voice resonated within his mind.
"[God-level pick-up system activated.]"
"A system?" Chiba exhaled deeply, a mix of relief and excitement flooding over him. Having devoured countless novels in his previous life, he recognized this as the arrival of a "cheat"—a special ability bestowed upon him. Anticipation coursed through his veins.
"System, what functions do you possess?" Chiba inquired, his curiosity piqued.
"[This system can automatically collect various items dropped within a 100-meter radius from the Host.]"
"These drops may include attributes, equipment, skills, talents, bloodline limits, and more."

"These attributes are quite straightforward, but the Sharingan is nearly at the level of the three Tomoe Sharingan," Chiba remarked, his attention drawn to the bloodline limit column, a hint of surprise on his face.
Recalling the events of his childhood, and the loss of his parents, it only made sense that his eyes would have awakened.
After preparing himself, Chiba finally stepped out of his house and made his way to the bustling commercial street within the Uchiha clan. The street was teeming with vendors, and the air was filled with the lively and noisy ambiance of breakfast time.
Upon a quick glance, Chiba noticed a myriad of colorful bubbles floating around, each representing something beyond his sight.
"These must be the drops they mentioned," Chiba thought, a spark of excitement flickering in his eyes as detailed information about the various bubbles flooded his mind.
Blue bubbles symbolized Chakra. Bloody bubbles represented the bloodline limit. Book-shaped bubbles indicated skills and ninjutsu. Human-shaped bubbles signified combat experience. Kunai-shaped bubbles stood for items.
As he observed his surroundings, Chiba realized that there were only blue bubbles in his vicinity. Calmly strolling along the street, the system automatically collected them.
[Collected 1 point of Chakra, Chakra level +1]
[Collected 2 points of Chakra, Chakra level +2]
[Collected 1 point of Chakra, Chakra level +1] ...
The acquired attributes seamlessly merged into his body, and he attentively felt the changes taking place within him.
"The Chakra attribute not only enhances my Chakra level but also boosts my physical and mental energy," Chiba acknowledged, his heart brimming with joy as he sensed the expanding reservoir of Chakra within his being.
Suddenly, his eyes widened with anticipation.
In the distance, he spotted a bloody bubble.
Sharingan power!
Chiba's heart raced, and he quietly approached the bubble.
[Collected 1 point of Sharingan pupil power attribute, pupil power +1]
A cool sensation gently enveloped his eyes, providing unparalleled comfort.
Locking his gaze on the Sharingan attribute on the verge of a breakthrough, Chiba hastened his steps, venturing deeper into the Uchiha clan.
[Collected 1 point of Sharingan pupil power attribute, pupil power +1]
[Collected 1 point of Sharingan pupil power attribute, pupil power +1]
[Collected 1 point of Sharingan pupil power attribute, pupil power +1] ...
The intermittent appearance of the pupil power attribute filled him with exhilaration.
[Congratulations, your pupil power has reached the upper limit of the three Tomoe Sharingan. Do you agree to break the limit and achieve evolution?]
"Agree!"
[Congratulations, your Sharingan has evolved to Three Tomoe Sharingan] [Sharingan: LV3 (501/2000)]
"What a formidable ocular power!" Chiba exclaimed, his eyes filled with awe and excitement.
Though the data differed only slightly from the attributes of the Two Tomoe Sharingan, the actual prowess was leagues apart. The Three Tomoe Sharingan granted heightened insight, illusion mastery, and replication abilities, surpassing its predecessor by leaps and bounds. It even bestowed the ability to preemptively predict an enemy's actions by analyzing their body movements—a true weapon of shinobi warfare.
...
On the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory stood numerous towering structures, strategically placed by Konoha since its inception to keep a vigilant watch over the Uchiha clan. Presently, several Anbu operatives, including Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi, were assigned the duty of surveilling the entire Uchiha clan.
"Hey, isn't that him?" Kakashi exclaimed in surprise, spotting Chiba through his telescopic device.
"Do you recognize him, senior?" Itachi inquired, his countenance impassive as he followed Kakashi's line of sight, only seeing an apparently ordinary yet handsome individual in Chiba.
"Yes," Kakashi replied. "His name is Uchiha Chiba. You must have heard of him."
As Kakashi observed the smile on Chiba's face, a smile unconsciously formed on his own. When Uchiha Yan met with his accident, Kakashi was still a young boy. By the time he pursued Obito, the situation had settled, leaving Kakashi in the dark. It was only a few years ago, upon the passing of Chiba's parents, that Kakashi noticed the striking resemblance between Chiba and his younger self. Thus, he felt compelled to advise Chiba against treading the same path he once walked.
Not wanting Chiba to succumb to the path of darkness, Kakashi felt a sense of relief seeing the smile on Chiba's face. He assumed that Chiba had found his own path and naturally experienced a surge of happiness.
"The son of Uchiha Yan?" Itachi's expression shifted slightly as he contemplated the rumors surrounding Chiba's father, realizing that it bore some semblance to his own current circumstances.
