Chapter 1: The Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre
"Eh...?"
Still deep in sleep, Xia Yu suddenly felt something moving beside him. It seemed like a person...
Xia Yu, who had been single for twenty years with no parents, was shocked. Besides mosquitoes and mice, how could there be anything else breathing in his house?
In an instant, he woke up, opening his eyes wide to find himself lying on a strange tatami mat. Next to him was a woman draped in a sheer kimono, gazing at him tenderly.
Everything around him seemed unfamiliar.
"What the...?"
"This must be a dream!"
"Heaven must be smiling upon me, letting me dream something like this!"
With that thought, he quickly rolled over, but just as he was about to succeed, a cheap, static-like voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully transmigrating to the Ninja World. Would you like to bind...?]
"Bind, my foot! Can't you see I'm busy here? Go away!"
[Uh...]
[Heh heh heh... Not bad, I knew I chose the right person...]
Ignoring the annoying voice in his head, Xia Yu continued what he was doing, convinced this was just a dream. No matter how strange things got, he wouldn't be surprised!
Eventually, dawn arrived.
"Sigh..."
As sunlight bathed his body, Xia Yu lay on the tatami, marveling, "This dream feels so real, and it's incredibly long. I still haven't woken up..."
Though reluctant, Xia Yu knew it was time to wake up. Dreams are dreams, after all. In reality, he still had bricks to move.
Closing his eyes briefly, he expected to wake up in his bed. But to his shock, he was still in the same scene as before.
"What the heck? Why am I still here!"
[Heh heh heh... This is not a dream! This is reality...]
"What the hell! Who's laughing?"
[As a transmigrator, I am naturally your system~]
"Huh? I transmigrated?"
As Xia Yu was still in a daze, a flood of memories rushed into his mind. This was Konoha Village in the Ninja World. He was an 18-year-old Uchiha, named Uchiha Xia Yu. Despite bearing the Uchiha name, he was a disgrace to the clan. He only inherited the good looks, lacking talent and strength even below an ordinary Genin.
At 18, he had not awakened his Sharingan and couldn't even perform basic Fire Style jutsu properly. He was a failure among failures, the shame of his clan!
What made his clan despise him even more was Xia Yu's hobby, unprecedented among Uchiha men. Unlike Jiraiya, Xia Yu was far more popular due to his handsome appearance.
Xia Yu glanced at the woman beside him, and her identity instantly came to mind.
This woman was one of Danzo's undercover operatives in Konoha, and she had a special fondness for Xia Yu. Given Danzo's old age, she turned her attention to Xia Yu...
"No way, I need to get out of here! If I get caught, it will be disastrous. With my strength, Danzo could kill me a hundred times with one finger!"
Thinking quickly, Xia Yu dressed, broke through the window while no one was around, and rushed towards the Uchiha compound.
Halfway there, a young woman spotted Xia Yu and ran over to hug him.
"Boo hoo... Brother Xia Yu, you're alive! I thought I'd never see you again..."
Other women nearby heard her and surrounded Xia Yu, crying out in concern.
"Brother Xia Yu, you must be heartbroken about the Uchiha massacre, but don't worry, I'll always be here for you..."
"My dear brother, are you okay? Let me check your abs... no, I mean, see if you're hurt."
"..."
Xia Yu, overwhelmed by the affectionate women, felt his old memories stir, making him itch with unease. If he weren't so exhausted from last night, he might have been tempted by their affections.
Trying to keep his clothes from being torn apart, Xia Yu asked, "Stop, stop... Why are you all acting like this? What's going on?"
The women paused, startled, and then exclaimed:
"Brother Xia Yu, don't you know? Last night, the Uchiha clan was wiped out by a traitor!"
"Yes, it's true! The news spread this morning. I even went to the Uchiha compound and saw the devastation. Thank goodness you're alive!"
Xia Yu turned pale. This scenario... Could it be that last night was the infamous Uchiha clan massacre?
Having watched Naruto, Xia Yu knew that Danzo was deeply involved in the massacre, essentially the mastermind behind it!
Unbelievably, he had managed to survive the massacre by sheer coincidence while being foolish!
As he was still processing this, three black-robed ANBU appeared before him, speaking in cold, disdainful tones:
"Your name is Uchiha Xia Yu, right? Come with us!"
...
To be continued.
