"After some time, Izuna had left, leaving me alone with my thoughts, staring at the ceiling. According to Izuna, I wouldn't be allowed to leave until I had fully recovered my chakra, which I seemed to have lost after going to war for the first time. He also mentioned that the clan elders, like my father, were greatly impressed by my abilities and had called me a genius of the clan.
In my previous life, I wasn't so narcissistic, but it seems that after transmigrating into the Uchiha body, I've picked up some arrogance! I just gazed at the ceiling for a while tonight; I would only sleep, and in the morning, I would go to train. I needed to become strong and fast.
I sighed one last time and closed my eyes.
The next morning, I woke up. It was both new and familiar. I simply followed Madara's routine and looked at myself in the small mirror. I felt strange when I saw my reflection, yet not entirely. My face had delicate features, but I looked like a child. Why did I look like a child? I searched in Madara's memories and found something.
Flashback:
The current clan leader looked at a three-year-old Madara Uchiha. Despite being so young, her intelligence was that of an adult. Her father, Tajima Uchiha, and the clan leader, stared at her with his stoic mask, and she did the same.
"Madara, as the eldest daughter, it is your duty and right to be the next matriarch of the Uchiha clan," her father said seriously, and she only nodded.
"As you know, in other clans, women are merely used for bearing children or household chores. But in our Uchiha clan, from the very first clan leader, it was demonstrated that both men and women can be equally powerful."
"You have the potential to become a great kunoichi, and I can sense that. My point is, in the Uchiha clan, to preserve our lineage, women must be trained, but they do not go to war for a simple reason."
"Because we must protect them since they give life to our clan. If they die, our clan will not prosper. In extreme cases, they will come to the fore, but I can assure you they are as strong as the clan's shinobi."
Madara was surprised by the information but did not show it. She spoke after some reflection, "Oto-san, then I won't be able to go to war? I want to protect all my siblings! I can't just stay here and do nothing."
"You must become strong for that. I will let you go if you prove to have enough power."
"I must tell you something else. If other clans find out you are a woman, they will want to capture you. For your safety, you must pretend to be a boy. So, until you become strong enough and defeat most of the shinobi, you will remain hidden."
End of Flashback:
Now I understood why I looked this way, but it didn't bother me much for now. I would simply become stronger. I smiled to myself and went to the training ground exclusively for the clan leader's family, which benefited me greatly because no one would witness my intensive training.
I looked at a training log, and as I remembered from this body, I performed the corresponding hand seals. What I did surprised me – a massive fireball that dwarfed the large log. It made me smile because my chakra reserves were so large at such a young age. However, a bell sound appeared in my mind, and in my vision, I saw a panel that made me open my eyes.

[The system has loaded; from this moment, you can redeem your beginner's gift!] The metallic voice sounded, surprising me even more. A wheel-shaped panel appeared, and I curiously spun it, noticing several gifts within it.
"Congratulations! You have won the 'Sorcerer Supreme' books. In there, you will find the necessary information to create portals, both astral travel, concentration, and—"
This took me by surprise, and I was left in shock. Could the system be connected to the Marvel world? Can I redeem more for other worlds?
This is incredible!"
