The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 1 I, Uchiha Takeoshi, Step into the Peak

The cold rain lashed against his face, and Uchiha Wu'an regained a little clarity. The crimson three-tomoe jade in his eyes swept over the land littered with corpses.

Blood-red chakra burst forth from his body with unbridled rage, creating a turbulent atmosphere that squeezed the wreckage on the ground, causing it to splatter blood everywhere.

Amidst the spray of blood, Uchiha Takeo, realizing something, involuntarily placed his hand on his forehead. His handsome face beneath his fingers shifted slightly, and his low laughter suddenly turned into an extremely unrestrained and flamboyant maniacal laugh.

"Hehehehe. Hahaha. Hahahahahaha!"

"After sixteen years of life, my wish has finally come true!"

"From this day forward, I, Uchiha Takeoshi, will step into the pinnacle of the ninja world!"

[System, give me some points!]

Three-tomoe Sharingan → Mangekyou Sharingan!

As his thoughts settled, the cold, deep, and elusive Yin Release energy, like the moon's reflection in water, poured into Uchiha Wu'an's mind like a cascading waterfall, then, under an inexplicable force, flowed orderly into his eyes.

In an instant, the Sharingan's ocular power began to surge dramatically, even taking on a tangible form, comparable to a low-level wind-style ninjutsu, sweeping outwards!

The three black tomoe in the blood-red pupils began to connect end to end, intersecting to form a line, creating a magnificent and intricate pattern resembling a round sky and a square earth.

As the fluctuations of Yin Release energy gradually subsided, Uchiha Wu'an looked at the world before him and felt that it was completely different.

If I had to describe it, it's like paying to unlock VIP access, turning HD into Blu-ray in an instant.

The drifting wind, the dripping rain, the swaying branches, the flowing blood, the floating light and shadow, are like frames of paintings, clearly and vividly reflected in the eyes, reflected in these kaleidoscopes.

The meteoric rise in insight is one aspect, not to mention the abilities of copying and illusion.

On the other hand, what moved Uchiha Muan was the awakening of the ultimate violence hidden in the Sharingan bloodline, and the birth of two Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques.

Besides, the several-fold increase in chakra, the doubling of physical strength, and the significant enhancement of various ninjutsu, the transformation that only elite Jonin undergo when advancing to Kage level, are merely the aftereffects of Uchiha's advancement from the Three Tomoe to the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"This is Kage-level! This is a Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha stronger than a typical Kage-level!"

Uchiha Wu'an exhaled softly, glanced at the fluctuating void, and his Mangekyou Sharingan instantly transformed into the three-tomoe form. He calmly stretched out his hand.

"Lord Wu'an, something terrible has happened!"

A tiny, almost imperceptible ripple appeared in the air, from which a large orange cat with yellow and white stripes jumped out. It had short legs and a big belly, and wore a black undershirt with a Uchiha fan pattern on the back, making it extremely festive and cute.

The orange cat meowed a few times in the air, then spread its limbs and lay down on Uchiha Wu'an's hand. Its憨憨 (simple and honest) cat face was full of serious anxiety, and its white whiskers trembled incessantly.

"Orange, I've told you so many times, don't panic when something happens, let me touch you first."

Uchiha Muan pulled the orange cat into his arms, stroking its smooth, soft fur while taking a deep breath to calm his excitement as he prepared to punch and kick the Raikage.

Orange Cat was the name Uchiha Takeo gave to this orange cat, as a way of putting an end to its previous life.

Tachibana was born into the Ninja Cat Clan, which has been on good terms with the Uchiha clan for generations. The Ninja Cat Clan is the Uchiha clan's number one intelligence provider and weapons dealer, and almost every Uchiha ninja has a Ninja Cat as a partner.

These adorable, intelligent creatures often comforted the proud and aloof Uchiha clan.

According to Uchiha Wu'an, the cats contributed 30% to the stability of the Uchiha clan, both internally and externally.

Uchiha Takeoshi, who had just become a genin, took a liking to Tachibana when she first learned to summon a cat, and signed a summoning contract with her. Soon after, the First Shinobi World War broke out, and two years have passed since then.

"Lord Wu'an, my neck is so itchy, please don't suck there, meow~"

Orange wriggled its soft body, and soon, under the combined attack of Uchiha Takeo's touching and sucking, it could only let out weak meows.

"As expected of the Orange constellation, it's so comforting."

With a satisfied expression, Uchiha Takeo, carrying the smug Tachibana, left the pile of corpses where the Cloud Village ninjas had gathered and continued on his way to the battlefield between the Fire and Lightning Kingdoms, and between the Leaf Village and the Cloud Village.

Furthermore, even the warlike and bloodthirsty Uchiha would feel disgusted if they stayed in a bloody place for too long.

They are simply enjoying the pleasure of becoming stronger after fighting; they are not mentally disturbed.

"Orange, wake up! Let's get down to business!"

Uchiha Wu'an reached out and patted the cat's head, then, under Tachibana's disapproving gaze, asked leisurely, "Is the war almost over?"

Uchiha Takeo only had a general understanding of the Naruto storyline.

At this point in time, there is very little useful information available, and as time goes on, as long as he doesn't die, the help that the plot prophet can provide will be even more negligible.

After all, he's a man with cheat codes!

The plot doesn't matter at all; sooner or later, none of them will be able to fight back.

There are only a handful of players who can fight now.

In short, it's invincible!

"Yes, Lord Wu'an, the latest battle report from the front lines is that the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Second Raikage are planning to shake hands and make peace, and will soon sign a peace treaty in the Land of Hot Water."

"They started the war, then realized they couldn't win and couldn't afford to fight back, so they planned to surrender. Truly worthy of being called bandits from the mountains!"

Uchiha Wu'an scoffed, expressing his disdain for Kumogakure. Then, thinking of his system, he couldn't help but feel troubled. Without war, where could he find the gifts of nature? There weren't many selfless and dedicated people.

While petting the cat, he glanced at his system.

—Uchiha Takehiko

Bloodline: Mangekyou Sharingan (Insight, Copying, Genjutsu, Susanoo...)

Skills: Ninjutsu (Great Fireball Technique, Phoenix Flower Technique...); Taijutsu (Uchiha Style Swordsmanship/Taijutsu); Genjutsu (Fox Mind Technique, Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Kill...)

Overall combat strength rating: Strong Kage (The combat strength classification varies in different worlds; currently it is: Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, Kage-level, Strong Kage, Super Kage, Six Paths)

Elevation Point: 0 (Crowded with people, only one VIP seat)

"Let me see. It took 1000 Ascension Points to upgrade from the Three-Tomoe Mangekyou Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan... Hmm, 10,000 points. Even if we sacrificed the entire Hidden Cloud Village, plus the entire Senju and Konoha, it would still be far from enough."

Not counting the hidden Jonin of the major clans, Konoha only has about two hundred Jonin on the official payroll, while Kumogakure is lucky to have one hundred and fifty. In the past two years, Uchiha Takeo has managed to kill about twenty of them.

Some of their underhanded tactics even enraged the Hidden Cloud Village. At the time, Uchiha Takeo, who was only at the level of a two-tomoe ninja, was almost cornered by a team of five or six Jonin. Fortunately, there was a Konoha outpost nearby, where the Jonin of the Senju clan were indeed very strong; otherwise, he would not have been able to escape.

The great battle between the two villages was completely ignited at that moment!

Meanwhile, Uchiha Wu'an, who had always fought alone and lingered on the fringes, became increasingly adept at his craft, and his strength began to advance by leaps and bounds, eventually evolving into a situation where he was completely overpowered.

As for the lowly ninjas like Chunin and Genin, there's no need to remember them; a simple shuriken from them would be enough to kill them.

Thinking about it this way, I really am a sinner. I'll probably go to hell when I die.

Tachibana had no idea what Uchiha Takeo was thinking. She looked at Uchiha Takeo, who seemed to be lost in thought, his face shifting between joy and worry. If it were a ninja cat unfamiliar with Uchiha Takeo's temperament, it would probably have been scared out of its wits.

The kitten sighed, shook its paw, and asked, "Lord Wu'an, what are you planning to do next?"

"Of course, we should send them to hell."

Uchiha Takeoshi, who had no choice but to see them off to hell in order to avoid being sent there himself, laughed happily.

"For the peace of the ninja world, for the stability of Konoha, for the future of my clan, my Sharingan is itching for more!"

Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Kagami Uchiha...

Not a single one of them will escape!

must die!

No one can save him!

Who told me to be a rogue ninja!

Hehehehehe!
