"I'm back!" Jie Uchiha shouted his customary greeting as he stepped through the entryway.
"Welcome home, Jie. You've worked hard today," his mother, Mikoto Uchiha, called out in a gentle voice. "Why don't you go play with Itachi for a while? Dinner will be ready as soon as your father returns."
"Okay," Jie replied casually.
He turned and headed straight for the nursery where Sasuke slept. He knew that if he wanted to find Itachi, he didn't need to check his room—he just needed to find Sasuke.
As expected, his twin brother, the renowned "Bro-Con" Itachi Uchiha, stood vigil by the crib.
"Brother, look! Sasuke is just so cute," Itachi said excitedly, turning his head as he heard Jie enter.
"Let me see," Jie said with a smile, slowly approaching the cradle.
Perhaps recognizing his brother, little Sasuke suddenly began to wave his arms and kick his legs, babbling happily.
"He is indeed cute," Jie said, picking up the baby. A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes. "Especially his little willy. It's particularly cute."
As he spoke, Jie reached out and gave Sasuke's "little willy" a light flick.
This was Sasuke Uchiha—a key character in Naruto, the "Prince" of the Uchiha, and the future obsession of so many fans. And here he was, held in Jie's arms, getting his private parts flicked.
'I bet even Kishimoto never imagined that someone would transmigrate into the Naruto world just to flick Sasuke's willy,' Jie thought with a wicked grin.
[Ding!]
[Host has flicked the little willy of Indra's Transmigrant. Settlement Complete: Obtained 1% of Indra's Transmigrant Chakra. Current Total: 17%.]
The mechanical voice echoed in Jie's mind.
'Another 1%,' Jie raised an eyebrow, feeling quite satisfied.
The System operated on a law of diminishing returns; repeating the same action eventually yielded fewer rewards. The first time he committed this prank, he received a massive 10%. Now, after doing it every day without fail, he had only managed to grind the total up to 17%.
Maxing this out was going to be a long, hard road.
"Brother! How could you do that?!" Itachi panicked. "Our little brother is so cute, how could you hit him?!"
Itachi hurriedly snatched Sasuke from Jie's arms and placed him back into the crib with extreme care. After verifying that Sasuke wasn't crying and seemed unharmed, he turned to glare at Jie.
"Sorry, sorry. Little Sasuke was just so cute, I couldn't help myself," Jie offered a half-hearted excuse to brush it off.
Not long after playing with Sasuke, Fugaku Uchiha returned home.
However, today's Fugaku differed from his usual stoic self. His face was ashen, and his eyes burned with suppressed rage.
"What's wrong, Fugaku? Has something happened in the clan?" Mikoto asked gently, sensing the tension.
"The Third is going too far!" Fugaku growled. "He restricted all Uchiha activities. We are forbidden from leaving the district! What is the meaning of this? Does he think the Uchiha are planning a rebellion?"
The more Fugaku spoke, the more agitated he became, until he slammed his hand heavily onto the table.
"The village? Hah! What a tragedy."
There were too many ears in the compound; loose lips sank ships. The Uchiha clan's position was already precarious. If the Clan Head's angry words leaked, it would push them further onto the chopping block.
Realizing this, Fugaku swallowed the rest of his complaints and stormed into his study to sulk.
'Has it already started?' Jie thought.
Perhaps because Fugaku had just returned and let his guard down, or perhaps he didn't consider a child like Jie a threat, he hadn't filtered his words. Jie heard everything clearly.
'Kushina is about to give birth. The Night of the Nine-Tails is inevitable.'
Jie sat down for dinner, his mind racing.
Suddenly, a knock came at the door. When it opened, a figure appeared that Jie never expected to see at this hour.
'The Fourth?'
'Kushina is in labor. This is the most dangerous moment. Shouldn't Minato Namikaze be guarding her? Why is he at the Uchiha compound?'
Minato stood there, his face etched with fatigue and apology. He looked past Mikoto to Fugaku, who had emerged from his study.
"Fugaku, I didn't know Lord Third would issue such an order," Minato said earnestly. "By the time I wanted to object, the command had already passed down. I want to overturn it, but he is still the Third Hokage, and he claims it is for the safety of the current situation."
Minato bowed his head slightly. "I hope you can forgive this."
Without waiting for a response, Minato offered a tired smile, turned, and left the Uchiha house as quickly as he had arrived.
He came in a rush and left in a rush.
Presumably, if he wasn't afraid of the Uchiha misunderstanding the situation and deepening the rift with the village, Minato wouldn't have wasted precious time making this trip. After all, tonight was the night the seal on the Nine-Tails would be at its weakest.
Watching this scene, Jie sighed and shook his head imperceptibly.
'What a pity.'
If Minato Namikaze lived to continue his reign as the Fourth Hokage, perhaps the Uchiha and the village wouldn't have reached the point of drawn swords and eventual genocide.
But sadly, the "Yellow Flash," with his smile as bright as the sun, would end his short life tonight.
After Minato left, Fugaku returned to his study alone. As the Clan Head, he had to think about how to navigate the strained relationship between the clan and the village.
Jie finished his dinner and went straight to his room.
Konoha would not be peaceful tonight. Although he knew that in the original history, the Uchiha never participated in the defense, Jie was here now. He was a butterfly flapping its wings. Who knew how the storm would develop?
In the pitch-black night, time passed quickly.
Jie sat cross-legged, refining his chakra, when suddenly, a wave of cold, malevolent energy jolted him awake.
'Is this the Nine-Tails' chakra? It's terrifying!'
Having lived two lives, Jie's soul was exceptionally strong, giving him spiritual energy far beyond that of an ordinary ninja. Because of this, he sensed the eruption of that chaotic chakra immediately.
A deafening roar echoed through the night, waking the entire clan.
In the distance, the sounds of panic and destruction began to drift toward the Uchiha district.
"It's starting!"
Jie took a deep breath. He turned and sprinted out of the house, heading not toward the shelters, but toward the heart of Konoha.
"The curtain has officially risen. I hope tonight's harvest gives me enough strength to face what comes next."
