The smile that had just begun to form on Kaito Uchiha's face—before it could even escalate into full-blown Uchiha maniacal laughter—froze midway.
This system… felt a little too abstract.
Thinking he must have misheard, Kaito imdiately rolled to his feet and began pacing while patiently explaining to the system.
"Must be a mistake, right?"
"System, this is Naruto—a world where ninjas run backward with their hands behind their backs!"
But halfway through his rant, a sudden possibility struck him, sending his blood boiling and his eyes lighting up.
"Wait…"
"Does this an the system's rewards are cultivation techniques and treasures from the cultivation world?"
At this thought, Kaito Uchiha could already envision himself shattering stars with a single hand and suppressing the entire Ōtsutsuki clan with a re gesture.
As for the Uchiha massacre…
Easy clap!
Snapping out of his delusions, Kaito's expression gradually turned smug.
He glanced at the red-and-white "ping-pong paddle" clan crest not far away, then scoffed and spat in disdain.
"Screw your damn Mangekyō Sharingan—"
"I quit!"
"From now on… I'm defying the heavens!"The system didn't seem very intelligent and couldn't answer his questions. He could only rely on opening the ga-like interface to get a glimpse of its functions.
[Status] [Achievents] [Backpack] [Quests]
Without hesitation, Kaito first clicked on [Status] to check.
[Na: Kaito Uchiha]
[Age: 6]
[Cultivation: None]
[Techniques: None]
[Constitution: None]
[Spirit Stones: None]
The consecutive "None" entries gave him a sense of helplessness, as if he was being mocked.
If it were just techniques or sothing, he could accept that. But for constitution, couldn't they at least write "Uchiha Bloodline"??
Every word in the status panel seed to mock him, implying he was as insignificant as an ant in the cultivation world.
It's fine... it's fine...
Take things one step at a ti.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Small streams combine to form great rivers! Being weak today doesn't an anything. In the future, he might still ascend to immortality and reach the pinnacle of the world.
Kaito was quite open-minded about it. After all, this was a cultivation system—it made sense that it would look down on the power system of the Shinobi World.
As for constitution...
He figured it must be referring to things like Innate Dao Body or Ancient Saint Body.
Hmm... the system is pretty impressive.
Let's check the other options first.
Clicking on [Achievents], the system imdiately played a failure notification sound.
[This function will unlock after obtaining your first achievent...]
Seeing this, Kaito nodded calmly.
Hmm.
Reasonable!
If it were too easy to unlock, he'd suspect the system might be too weak.
A system with slightly challenging unlock conditions hinted at his imnse future potential!
Next!
Let's see if there's a beginner's gift pack...
Opening the [Backpack] option, within the 30x10 grid, a dazzling golden gift box suddenly appeared.
[Beginner's Gift Pack: Can be opened at Qi Refining Stage, Level 1.]
At this point, Kaito's initial smile gradually faded. He took several deep breaths on the spot before barely calming his emotions.
"Small problem... small problem..."
"Reaching the Qi Refining Stage shouldn't be too hard. According to novel tropes, usually completing the first beginner quest grants so kind of cultivation infusion or sothing."
"Right! Advancing to the Qi Refining Stage shouldn't be an issue!"
After readjusting his mindset, Kaito shifted his gaze to the [Quests] icon. Before clicking, he ntally speculated about what his first quest might be.
For a beginner quest...
Challenge Naruto Uzumaki? Or Zabuza Momochi?
Or perhaps defeat Itachi Uchiha?
The above options seed a bit too difficult. It wasn't that he couldn't beat Naruto or anything, but the Uchiha clan getting close to Naruto was too sensitive right now.
Hmm... if only the quest was to challenge Sasuke.
In that case, he could just wait until Sasuke was asleep at night, cover him with a blanket, and beat him up to complete the quest.
Kaito prayed devoutly in his heart, invoking every deity he knew. He even ran back to his room to wash his hands thoroughly before finally clicking the [Quests] icon.
[New to the cultivation world, even mortals should have the courage to seek the Dao. Even mayflies should aspire to shake mighty trees! A humble origin is no disgrace—true strength lies in adaptability!]
[Ding—]
[Beginner Quest Triggered!]
[Quest: A large number of Sky-Rending Demon Hounds have been detected in the vicinity, plaguing the common folk. Show them what you're made of! Defeat 10 Sky-Rending Demon Hounds to intimidate the surrounding evil spirits.][Reward: Improve physique, increase the chance of Qi Refinent initiation by 100%, and raise Foundation Establishnt success rate by 50%.]
Kaito Uchiha: ?
After repeatedly examining the mission panel multiple tis, Kaito's face instantly darkened, and he fell into complete silence.
He slowly moved to sit at the stone table in the courtyard and began to ponder deeply.
From the origins of humanity to the invasion of Earth by the Trisolarans...
After a long while, Kaito took a deep breath.
What the hell is this?!
You damn piece of shit system!
What exactly did you detect??
Since when does Konoha have sothing called a Sky-Rending Demon Hound??
System!!
Answer !!
As a descendant of the Uchiha clan in the Naruto world...
Where the hell am I supposed to find this terrifying-sounding Sky-Rending Demon Hound!?
"Kaito!"
"You...!"
"Slacking off again?!"
Just then, Sasuke suddenly appeared beside him without warning.
Dressed in a blue shirt and black pants, his young face was stern and angry as he glared at his twin brother sitting idly in the courtyard, exuding the frustration of an elder disappointed in a junior.
Except the puppy cradled in his arms completely ruined his imposing deanor.
"As sons of the Uchiha clan head, we must train hard to uphold the Uchiha's glory!"
Kaito stared blankly ahead, his eyes dull and lifeless. Sasuke's words didn't even elicit a response from him.
"Is wetting the bed part of the Uchiha's glory?"
The nonchalant tone combined with the embarrassing truth struck Sasuke like an invisible blade through the heart, his entire face visibly reddening at lightning speed.
"Nonsense! That was just... just water I spilled while drinking last night...!"
"I... I didn't wet the bed!!"
Sasuke shouted loudly, as if volu alone could erase last night's accident.
Mikoto, passing by the corridor, happened to hear her younger son's words and smiled behind her hand, giving Kaito a aningful look.
Even though it was Sasuke who wet the bed, Kaito had co to her first thing in the morning to take the bla.
Knowing Kaito would never do such a thing, Mikoto understood he was protecting Sasuke's fragile pride.
What a good child...
Not wanting to interrupt the brothers, she turned toward the kitchen to prepare tea for the father and son conversing in the living room.
"Go play sowhere else."
"I'm not in the mood to deal with you today."
Kaito was too preoccupied angrily questioning his damn system to bother with the boy.
"Kaito Uchiha!!"
"Who needs you anyway!!"
Sasuke yelled defiantly, but his expression was already brimming with hurt.
Clutching the stray puppy, he turned dejectedly toward his room.
"Wait!!"
"Sasuke, what's that in your arms??"
