Translator's Note
Hey everyone!
I started translating this fanfic some time ago, and initially, my translations were a bit rough, especially the first ten chapters, which I only translated halfway (about 300 words back then). Now, I'm revisiting and improving those earlier chapters with better wording, imagery, and flow.
I know I might go overboard sometimes, and some parts may still need tweaking. If you notice any mistakes, awkward wording, or anything that feels off, please let me know!
If you plan to leave a review, I encourage you to do so after reading at least 80 chapters. By that point, you'll better understand the story's direction and what to expect. I value constructive feedback, whether it's praise or thoughtful criticism. However, vague or unhelpful comments or remarks that downplay the effort behind this translation will be removed by me, and the user WILL BE BLOCKED.
Please be fair, clear, and considerate in your feedback.

Kaito Uchiha sighed deeply, his gaze fixed on the horizon as the sun dipped below the treeline. Fifteen years had passed since he found himself in the world of Naruto—fifteen years of struggle, growth, and uncertainty.
"If only I had the golden fingers every traverser seems to get," he muttered, frustration lacing his voice.
One moment, he was a university student preparing for a lecture; the next, he was reborn into the Uchiha clan. His parents had perished in the Third Shinobi World War, sacrificing themselves to protect their comrades. The clansmen they saved took him in, raising him until he proved his worth at the Ninja Academy. Now, at fifteen, he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Itachi Uchiha, one of the clan's most promising geniuses.
As he lay on the grassy hills of the Third Training Ground, a sense of unease gnawed at him. The Uchiha clan's future was uncertain, and the tension in the air was almost suffocating. Something terrible was coming—he could feel it in his bones.
Then, suddenly—a sharp DING! echoed in his mind.
A translucent panel materialized before him, flooding his vision with information. Kaito's breath hitched as he read the words.
[System Activated!]
[Host Kekkei Genkai has reached a bottleneck.]
[Host's Jonin-level chakra has reached a bottleneck and has been upgraded to Kage rank!]
[Host's Fire Style: Fireball Technique (B) has advanced to Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique (A)!]
Kaito's mind raced. After fifteen years, the system was finally activated. Before he could fully process it, another notification flashed before him.
[Triggered Plot: The Night of the Uchiha's Fall!]
Choose a mission:
Ignore the extermination. Reward: Primary Sage Human Body (Advanced) and S-Rank Ninjutsu Scroll.
Take refuge in Konoha and cooperate with the higher-ups to destroy the Uchiha clan. Reward: Sage Body.
Lead the clan to resist and confront Konoha's higher-ups. Reward: Perfect Sage Body.
His blood ran cold. The massacre. That massacre.
Kaito clenched his fists. His mind screamed at him to reconsider, to think of self-preservation. But deep down, he already knew his answer. He couldn't abandon his clan.
"I choose the third option."
[DING! Host's commands have been confirmed.]
[DING! Host's talents have been upgraded.]
[DING! The system's sole purpose is to assist the host in reaching full power.]
Another wave of energy surged through his body.
[DING! Host's Kekkei Genkai has been upgraded. Three Tomoe Sharingan has evolved into Mangekyo Sharingan.]
A searing pain shot through Kaito's eyes. He gasped, feeling the world around him shift. His vision sharpened, the world brimming with newfound clarity. He could feel the immense power of the Mangekyo Sharingan coursing through him.
"So this is the power that decides the fate of cannon fodder," Kaito murmured, his voice laced with awe and determination. "This is the strength to rule over the shinobi world."
Yet, triumph was short-lived. The countdown to the massacre had begun.
"System, show me my stats," he commanded, steadying his breath.
[DING! Affirmed, Host.]
Name: Kaito Uchiha
Age: 15
Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyo Sharingan
Jutsu:
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique (A) Wind Style: Great Wind Breakthrough (A) Rasengan: Super-Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan
Chakra Level: Kage Rank
Kaito exhaled sharply. He had the power to protect his clan. But was it enough?
Checking the time, his heart pounded. "Six hours until the massacre begins."
Brushing off the grass and leaves from his clothes, Kaito activated the Body Flicker Technique, vanishing from the training ground. His destination—the Uchiha compound.
Meanwhile, in the Shadows…
In a dimly lit chamber, a man sat on a throne-like chair, his face shrouded in shadows. The flickering candlelight cast eerie patterns on the walls, and the air was thick with tension. Before him, a kneeling ninja bowed his head, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Milord, everything is in place. The Uchiha suspect nothing."
The man leaned forward, his fingers steepled. "Good. The Uchiha have always been a threat to Konoha's stability. Their arrogance blinds them to the danger they're in."
"Understood, Milord. The ANBU are ready to move on your command."
A slow, menacing smile spread across the man's face. "Tonight, we erase the Uchiha from history. And Konoha will be stronger for it."
Back at the Uchiha Compound…
Kaito landed gracefully within the compound, his heart pounding as he took in the sight of his unsuspecting clansmen.
"Everyone, gather around!" he called out, his voice cutting through the evening air.
Curious but obedient, the Uchiha clan members formed a loose circle around him, their expressions shifting from amusement to concern at the urgency in his tone.
"Tonight," Kaito began, steadying himself, "Konoha plans to annihilate us."
To be Continued!
