Hidden Leaf Village. A place where shinobi or ninja could experience peace under martial law, where everyone except civilians served in the military since childhood.
That being said, I don't hesitate to train like a kid in a Chinese factory that has one purpose. Yeah, to survive.
First, I'm Uchiha. Right now, since Senju is basically gone, Uchiha is the strongest clan in the village. Regardless of my background, they don't care if I was an orphan as long as I have potential.
I've trained like crazy since I was literally a baby so that the clan will look at me as a potential man. This is necessary to have all the resources I need.
Now, as the first step has already been accomplished, news will spread that an Uchiha genius has arrived, which puts me at an advantage cuz I can't survive without nepotism. With that, I will have connections with important people, not to mention I was born in this era where characters like Minato, Sakumo, Might Duy, and even Kushina are still alive.
That included Madara.
"Fah…."
To think I would cover up my face like this in the morning. Who doesn't feel frustrated when the old fart is still lingering around since he broke up with Hashirama.
Being a former young politician, the youngest member of parliament, as far as I could remember I was shot dead after refusing to rub my head on the wall. I was so close to taxing all the rich fat fucks for free healthcare, but I guess I was too weak for a bullet.
I was then reincarna- wait, transmigrated? Whatever, anyway.
When I was in high school, I read so many fanfics about this type of shi where most of the MCs are just pursuing to be aura farmers, or edge lords that hide their strength, or maybe harem lords that will pounce on heroines.
Meanwhile, I'm neither. I'm going to play this game as a big player. I won't stop pursuing the path as a great politician regardless of which world I live in! Of course, not for the sake of anything, but being powerful means I could live a fulfilling life hahaha! Not to mention this world has feudal lords rooted in society. That's better actually, I won't need public votes to succeed! Which means goodbye democracy.
Now all I need is strength, resources, connections, and luck. I need all cards playing in my hands. After that, everything will be smooth! HAHAHAH- oh shit, blood dripping from my nose again.
"Ara… are you nervous because of the test resu- Kaworu-kun, your eyes!"
I was about to complain about my privacy. But she was already by my side and clapped my cheeks. I still got goosebumps with that speed- hold on, said what?
"I can't believe it. Kaworu-kun, you just awakened your Sharingan."
"What?"
She grabbed my shoulders firmly. "Tell me, did something happen when I wasn't around you?" she asked with her eyes, showing she was worried.
Anyway, I awakened Sharingan? HOW?! That's so random!
"Uh… I don't understand what you mean."
"Listen, when Sharingan awakens, this power is as great as the price you have to pay. That also means you have experienced something so terrible that led to this. You can always tell me, you don't have to carry that sorrow by yourself."
As I maintained my calm face..... no, rather I was confused with this forced development. I know that Sharingan needs sacrifice, like you have to kill your daughter for a random shining stone.
Therefore, I was skeptical that I would have these eyes when I'm a cold-headed person. Unless someone finds out the money I laundered- wait! That's it! It doesn't have to be a painful experience, it could be awakened with a strong feeling of joy!
Was I too excited about my potential future that my Sharingan now turned on? Wait, that word kinda sus. But it works anywaay! Who cares if it was lame. It doesn't have to be breaking up with your boyfriend in front of KFC! I could have it by simply hyping my... potential!
"Actually, I was dreaming that I met my parents. For a second, that dream felt so real, it was too amazing. But when I woke up… the reality was so cruel."
Mikoto hugged me tightly and patted my head.
"Oh, Kaworu-kun. There, there, I know it's hard for you, but I'll always be with you, okay?"
"Thanks… I-I appreciate it."
"No need to thank me. I'm your sister, right?"
I smiled as she hugged me. Of course, it was my skill random bullshit go. Also, my crocodile tears came in handy. My acting skill that I honed when I joined a club in high school made Mikoto believe the reason behind my Sharingan.
"And promise me that you have to hide these eyes. Even Fugaku can't learn anything, got it?"
"Yes. I know that."
"Good boy. Now, we should be ready for the Academy."
I almost forgot about it. Today was supposed to be the announcement of those who took the enrollment test. I shouldn't be worried about it. I'll consider this event as a present for my enrollment.
