Chapter 2

Seeing the three options before him, Kaito couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

None of these skills were from the world of Naruto, and two of them came from a game he had played in his previous life.

As for the other one, if he wasn't mistaken, it was from a world where a single punch could shatter a planet, right?

Even though the origin of these abilities was a bit odd, he had to admit that all three were incredibly enticing.

Take the Eagle Wings, for example. It would allow one to fly in the sky. You should know that there aren't many people who can fly in the Naruto world.

With the Great Way of the Buddha, he would practically be invincible, and even the Senju clan's vitality could not compare. One must know that Yun Che with this ability was able to do amazing things.

As for the last skill, True Evolution. Obviously it is a passive skill, which allowed him to evolve a skill.

Although the conditions are a bit harsh - it requires Kaito to kill his own enemies to gain some power fragments - its effects are truly terrifying.

This also means that Kaito now possesses the Three Tomoe Sharingan, so he can use this ability to upgrade his Sharingan to Mangekyou!

"Could this be considered a doorstep blessing?"

Although he was in a very bad mood, when faced with such a reward, he felt that it wasn't something he couldn't accept.

Because with the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would have a certain level of self-defense capability within the clan.

Although time was running out, he had to fight for his own life. He would never accept dying in this damned place!

[Obtained Skill: True Evolution]

[Activation Condition: Requires one hundred power fragments for activation]

[Power Fragments: Obtained from Jounin (25), Chunin (20), Genin (10), and ordinary enemies (1-5)]

[Friendly reminder: Ninja rank is unrelated to ninja strength. Please work hard, host.]

After Uchiha Kaito made his choice, the system prompt panel appeared in his field of vision once again, and upon seeing this panel, he felt relieved.

Having specific details makes things much easier, and the last friendly reminder was particularly uplifting for him.

As everyone knows, ninja rank and ninja strength are not the same. After all, Naruto Uzumaki was just a Genin during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Similarly, Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju were only Jounin. Linking ninja rank to one's own strength is the biggest misconception and the most misleading aspect.

In the ninja world, it is true that chakra reserves and intensity have been used to roughly determine a person's ninja rank, but it is only meant as a reference.

If you know that someone's chakra is roughly at Jounin level, then you must approach the battle with the mindset and preparation to deal with a Jounin. That is what matters most.

"If we only consider ninja rank, then things do become a lot easier. Damn system, if it had activated earlier, I could have gone straight to the Security Department, couldn't I?"

Uchiha Kaito is a mission ninja. Although his talent allowed him to enter the Security Department, he ultimately refused.

It was a way to protect his reputation because the Security Department had a bad reputation in Konoha, and he really didn't want to step into such a place.

But now he had some regrets because under the jurisdiction of the Security Department was an important place, the Konoha Prison!

The Security Department had considerable authority, even though their reputation had been tarnished due to the Uchiha clan's self-destruction.

And Konoha's higher-ups used this as a reason to gradually reduce the power of the Security Department, but the Konoha Prison remained under the jurisdiction of the Security Department throughout.

Perhaps it was to further tarnish the reputation of the Security Department. That's what Konoha has been doing all these years.

"Now, if it's not realistic for me to go to the prison, it seems I'll have to catch the person myself."

Uchiha Kaito sighed helplessly. For the sake of his eyes, he felt that it was better to go out and catch the person honestly.

With that in mind, Kaito got up and walked out, soon arriving on the streets.

Time is pressing now, and there's still so much he needs to do; he can't afford any delays.

As he walks, he's also pondering: who should he eliminate for the best outcome?

Truth be told, even though the ninja world is vast, there aren't many Jonin. After all, Jonin are already considered strategic resources for the village.

There are very few that are easy to deal with. No qualified Jonin is simple to handle, but he does think of one person — Aoi Rokusho.

This guy belonged to the same generation as Uchiha Kaito, and he was only a Chunin when he was in Konoha. But after he stole the Sword of the Thunder God and defected, he managed to secure a Jonin position.

Dealing with such a guy would be a piece of cake, but the biggest problem is that this damn guy actually ran off to Amegakure!

What kind of place is Amegakure? Is it somewhere he can go?

Jiraiya died when he went there.. If he went there in his current weak state, wouldn't he just be walking into a trap?

"This is really troublesome."

As Kaito walked, he rubbed his temples. He was truly frustrated now. Where could he find four Jounin to join him?

"What's the matter, Kaito? Troubled by something?"

But just then, a voice suddenly rang in his ear, causing him to freeze for a moment.

He inwardly cursed himself for not paying attention to his surroundings while lost in his thoughts. If it had been an enemy, he might have been in trouble.

However, when he turned around and saw who it was, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Then, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's you, Shisui. You're back?"

That's right, the person appearing behind Kaito is none other than Uchiha Shisui.

Shisui and Kaito were in the same year and had a competitive relationship since childhood. However, as they spent more time together, Kaito realized that Shisui was relatively easy to get along with.

And compared to Uchiha Itachi, this guy was a world of difference!

At least, aside from his relatively timid personality and the fact that he chose suicide in extreme situations, Shisui didn't blindly favor one side over the other within the village and clan. His greatest wish was to maintain harmony between the village and the clan, rather than sacrificing the clan for the sake of the village.

As for Uchiha Itachi, Kaito genuinely disliked this arrogant guy.

Whether it was his actions towards the Uchiha clan or his actions towards Sasuke, it was evident that he always believed he could control everything.

Kaito had interacted with him during his childhood, but once he expressed his own stance and attitude, Itachi no longer paid attention to him.

But Shisui was different. He actually approved of Kaito's concept of "the clan and the village are one entity," which improved their relationship.

Now that Kaito was forcibly bound by the clan, leaving him with no way out, his dissatisfaction with Uchiha Itachi grew even stronger.

As for Shisui, Kaito felt that he had to do something.

"After all, his ideals haven't gone astray, and he will possess the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future. This guy is definitely someone I need to strive for!"
