In Konoha, 20 years ago, the Second Great Ninja War had just ended.

The Uchiha clan, in an small courtyard.

As the sun came up, Uchiha Shiroha was already dressed in his combat uniform with the Uchiha clan symbol and stepped outside, wearing a Konoha forehead protector.

At the same time, his mind showed a virtual panel that only he could see.

[Negative Energy System]

[Host: Uchiha Shiroha]

[Physical Skills: A]

[Ninjutsu: S]

[Genjutsu: A]

[Chakra: S]

[Jutsu: Unknown Fire, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire, Great Fireball Technique, Great Dragon Fire Technique, Fire Dragon Flame Bullet Technique...]

[Kekke Genkai: Three-tomoe Sharingan]

[Negative Energy: 9]

Yes, the Shiroha before you is a transmigrator.

He doesn't know how it happened, but he found himself transported to the world of Naruto, becoming an orphan of the Uchiha clan.

Along with this unexpected journey, he also possesses a golden finger known as the Negative Energy System.

By inducing negative emotions in others, such as anger, annoyance, anxiety, fear, sadness, jealousy, and so on, he can earn rewards in the form of negative energy, ninjutsu, and attribute points.

The stronger the emotions, the more negative energy and rewards he gets.

As a result, he begins to collect negative energy in the days that follow.

Furthermore, he discovered that being a member of the Uchiha clan made collecting negative energy incredibly easy.

Although the Uchiha clan is a wealthy clan in Konoha, it seems they are also held in high regard.

However, the Hokage and the Konoha Council have been suppressing the Uchiha clan, constantly seeking out trouble for them.

Let's just say that everyone in Konoha Village didn't like the Uchiha clan very much.

During his time at the Academy, his good looks and strength drew envy from others, providing him with a steady stream of negative energy.

After becoming a ninja and awakened the Two Magatama Sharingan, Shiroha attracted the jealousy of countless individuals, further fueling his supply of negative energy.

Upon joining the Konoha Military Police Force, he maintained Konoha's stability, offending other ninja clans and garnering widespread disgust, which also contributed to his negative energy reserves.

Basically, he didn't need to go looking for negative energy.

As soon as he stepped outside, he could feel a bunch of negative energy around him.

Fueled by this abundance of negative energy, his strength rapidly increased, soon granting him the prowess of a Jonin.

While his Jonin strength could be considered among the top combat power in Konoha Village,

there were only a few people in Konoha who were stronger than him.

But he knew the Third Great Ninja War was coming.

This level of strength simply wasn't enough.

The future held the Nine-Tails Attack, the Uchiha Genocide, and the Fourth Great Ninja War, where Jonin would be considered insignificant, and Kage-level individuals would be uncommon.

Without formidable strength, he wouldn't know how he would survive when the time came.

Therefore, he now had only one goal: to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan.

By harnessing the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, he could easily ascend to the Kage level.

Of course, while the Mangekyō Sharingan is incredibly powerful, it's also incredibly difficult to awaken.

For other Uchiha clan members, getting the Mangekyō Sharingan is a difficult challenge.

It requires not only talent but also significant emotional trauma.

But he is different because of his golden finger.

As long as he has negative energy, he can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Three Tomoe Sharingan requires 50,000 negative energy to be promoted to Mangekyō.

He currently possesses 49,000 negative energy, on the verge of accumulating 50,000.

'If I can reach that threshold, I can immediately awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan and summon the Susanoo,' he thought, a surge of excitement coursing through him.

"I hope I can find some more negative energy today..." he mused to himself as he left his small courtyard and went towards the Military Police Force building.

Along the way, all the Uchiha clan ninjas looked up to Shiroha.

The ninja world is all about who's the strongest.

This is especially true for the Uchiha clan.

Despite his young age, he has awakened the Two Tomoe Sharingan early, and his strength is among the best in the entire Uchiha clan.

"Shiroha-sama, here's the protection fee for this month...

At that moment, an Uchiha ninja came up to him and gave him a stack of money.

Uchiha Ookami, a follower of Shiroha and a Jonin in the Uchiha clan.

"Well... very good..." He said, a subtle nod of approval gracing his lips.

"Distribute it up as usual!" He instructed, his voice calm and authoritative.

"Hai... Thank you, Shiroha-sama..." Ookami bowed respectfully, his face betraying a hint of gratitude as he quickly divided the money into several portions and distributed it.

Every Uchiha ninja who got the money looked really happy.

You heard that right, the powerful ninjas of the Uchiha clan are actually broke.

Why?

The reason is simple.

Do you really believe that the conflict between the Konoha Council and the Uchiha clan is merely a matter of words?

Obviously not.

As the Police Force of Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan receives no funding.

All expenses for the Police Force are the responsibility of the Uchiha clan themselves.

This was the response he received when he went to the Hokage building to request funds.

The Konoha Council directly stated that the Police Force were entirely managed by the Uchiha clan, and all expenses should be borne by them, all in the name of the Will of Fire.

Is this even human?!

He laughed at the time.

The Will of Fire?! Can you eat that?

A Police Force that maintains the village receives no pay.

Although the Uchiha clan is wealthy and has connections with the Ninneko, allowing them to make money by selling weapons, this amount is clearly a drop in the ocean.

More importantly, the only way for a ninja to earn money is through missions.

Due to the strained relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, all the high-paying S and A-rank missions have long been reserved for Konoha's own people by the Council.

The missions assigned to the Uchiha clan are low-paying or mundane tasks.

Faced with such blatant discrimination from the Konoha Council, he decisively implemented a protection fee system.

The effect was significant.

The lives of every member of his team have been greatly improved.

Of course, collecting protection fees comes with the responsibility of protecting these businesses.

He will deal with anyone who dares to cause trouble.

"Shiroha-sama, I heard some news..."

"The clan leader might step down soon...

"..."

After distributing the money, Ookami approached him again and whispered.
