Looking at the single-tomoe Sharingan in the mirror, Tenshin smiled with satisfaction.
(TL: Dude is definitely not normal.)
Today marked the third day since he crossed into the world of Naruto.
Though he was merely an orphaned civilian, relying on the cheat he gained upon his arrival—the Hand of Gods—he successfully copied the Uchiha bloodline and became a member of the prestigious Uchiha clan in Konoha.
His left hand was the Hand of God, capable of copying any ability of his target, but only if he witnessed it firsthand.
His right hand was the Hand of Devils, harboring the power of ghosts and deities, able to directly damage the soul of a target.
With such a powerful cheat, Tenshin had great confidence in his survival in the Naruto world.
*Knock knock knock.*
A faint knock echoed from the door, prompting Tenshin to quickly retract his Sharingan and open it.
Standing outside was a man in his twenties, his face a bit awkward as he said, "Sorry, Tenshin, I couldn't find your biological father."
"He… he's probably dead."
Tenshin wasn't surprised in the least by this result. He knew his previous self was just a regular civilian, and without the Hand of God, there was no way he could have had any connection to the Uchiha clan.
If he had to explain his Uchiha bloodline, he could only say he was an illegitimate child of the clan.
As for his true biological father, he wasn't from the Uchiha clan. If they could find him, that would be a miracle…
Seeing Tenshin's calm demeanor, the man didn't think much of it. After all, Tenshin was only four years old, so it made sense he wouldn't have strong feelings for his father.
With a slight smile, the man continued, revealing his purpose: "Tenshin, since you're orphaned, the clan has decided I will take care of you from now on."
"By the way, I'm Uchiha Fugaku."
"Hello, Fugaku-nii," Tenshin greeted in a childlike voice, though his heart was racing with shock.
This was the future Uchiha clan leader!
Although his own strength would eventually surpass Fugaku's, in his childhood, Fugaku would undoubtedly be a solid support.
Fugaku, seeing Tenshin's affectionate greeting, smiled contentedly. He had fought hard for the responsibility of taking care of Tenshin. The child could already activate the Sharingan at just four years old—truly a genius.
As long as he didn't die young, Tenshin would undoubtedly become a powerful ally in the future competition for the position of clan leader.
Fugaku's eyes lit up, and suddenly, he patted Tenshin's head, saying, "Tenshin, how about you call me 'older brother' from now on?"
Tenshin was stunned for a moment, quickly understanding Fugaku's intentions.
Before he could respond, Fugaku clapped his hands together and exclaimed with excitement, "It's settled then!"
"Take it easy today, Tenshin. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Ninja Academy to enroll."
"With your talent, you can't afford to waste it."
With that, Fugaku quickly left, seemingly worried that Tenshin might change his mind.
But Tenshin had no intention of backing out. He actually hoped his relationship with Fugaku could deepen further. At the very least, he could get more pocket money.

The next day, Fugaku arrived early to take Tenshin to the Ninja Academy.
Clearly, Fugaku had already made arrangements, as the enrollment process went smoothly. Tenshin was soon escorted by the teacher, Kimura Shiraishi, to his designated class.
"This is our new classmate. Go ahead and introduce yourself," Kimura Shiraishi said from the podium.
Tenshin nodded and spoke up. "I'm… Uchiha Tenshin."
"Uchiha? Why is an Uchiha kid suddenly here?"
"Wow, he's so handsome!"
"Really handsome! Much better looking than Kakashi!"
The classroom erupted into whispers, full of attention for the new student.
Tenshin keenly noticed one name: Kakashi!
He narrowed his eyes and observed the students around him carefully.
Hatake Kakashi… Might Guy… Yuhi Kurenai… Sarutobi Asuma… Uchiha Obito… Nohara Rin…
So many familiar faces!
Tenshin had known that this was Konoha's 39th year, and these people were all still in the Ninja Academy, but he hadn't expected to be placed in their class.
Was it because of Fugaku's influence?
"Alright, Tenshin, you can sit next to Kakashi," Kimura Shiraishi instructed.
Tenshin walked over and sat beside the boy who was nicknamed "Hatake 50/50" due to his fluctuating abilities.
But before he could settle, Kimura Shiraishi spoke again, "Alright, everyone, let's head to the playground for a practical exam."
Tenshin didn't mind at all. Instead, he eagerly placed his left hand on Kakashi's shoulder.
"Let's go, Kakashi."
Kakashi gave Tenshin a cold glance before shrugging off his shoulder and walking out.
So cold. He'll regret this later.
Tenshin watched Kakashi's retreating figure with a sly smile.
Just now, he had used the Hand of Gods to copy Kakashi's taijutsu. Although he couldn't use it yet, once he saw Kakashi fight, it would activate. This was the perfect opportunity, right in the practical exam!
Before long, the entire class gathered in the playground.
"First match: Sarutobi Asuma versus Uchiha Obito," Kimura Shiraishi announced.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Obito's face darkened beneath his goggles.
Though he prided himself as a Uchiha genius, he still walked to the center, determined to fight.
The result was inevitable—against Sarutobi Asuma's offensive, Obito had no chance and was quickly defeated.
"Haha, is this the Uchiha? Not impressive at all!"
"Obito, you're the last in line, a real waste!"
The mocking voices rang out, and someone suddenly said, "I wonder if this new Uchiha kid is as useless as Obito."
"He looks so thin and scrawny. Probably even weaker than Obito."
"Hahaha!"
Tenshin, hearing the taunts, remained indifferent. He walked over and said, "Anyone willing to fight me?"
The others froze for a moment, before bursting into laughter again. "You? One punch and you'll be out cold!"
"Afraid?" Tenshin stared coldly at them. Although he couldn't yet use the taijutsu he copied from Kakashi, his Sharingan was more than enough to silence these fools.
At that moment, a tall and muscular boy stepped forward. "I'll fight you!"
"Oh, it's Genpei! The Uchiha is done for!"
"Of course, Genpei's strength is top-five in the class."
Tenshin exchanged no words with Tanaka Genpei. The two of them stood in the middle, eyes locked in a cold stare.
In the next instant, Genpei charged forward, his massive frame like a bear.
Tenshin activated his Sharingan in the same instant, tracking Genpei's every movement.
With the wind howling, just as they were about to collide, Tenshin made his move.
His fist struck from an unusual angle, bypassing Genpei's heavy punch and landing a decisive blow to his neck.
This was a vital spot, and Genpei, struck with such force, couldn't hold on. He collapsed to the ground instantly.
The others were stunned, speechless, their fear of the blood-red eyes of Tenshin creeping into their hearts.
