Konoha, year 33.
Night fell.
Uchiha Clan compound.
"It's been sixteen years since I came here."
"The talent of this body is simply too poor."
"Even with my insane training, I can't become a Kage-level powerhouse."
"Even now, I'm still hovering at the Elite Chunin level."
"I haven't even awakened my Sharingan."
"He's really a damn dead last."
A man dressed in Uchiha Clan attire sat on Hokage Rock, gazing out at all of Konoha, his eyes filled with helplessness and anger.
The man was around sixteen years old, 1.83 meters tall, with long, smooth, jet-black hair that reached his waist, casually falling behind him. He had delicate features and tear troughs just like Uchiha Itachi.
"Am I, Uchiha Fuyu, truly destined to be just a dead last?"
"As a member of the Uchiha Clan, being unable to awaken the Sharingan, how much combat power does that cost me?"
"Without the Sharingan, how can I activate my Susanoo and sweep across the world?"
Uchiha Fuyu's eyes were filled with helplessness, his fists clenched, his heart full of self-reproach and anger.
His name was Uchiha Fuyu, the younger brother of Uchiha Fugaku. He had been in this world for sixteen years.
He was not from this world. Originally, he was a miserable worker on Blue Star, working from eight in the morning to ten at night.
He missed his girlfriend's birthday due to overtime, making her angry. As a result, her best friend angrily kicked him, landing him in the hospital.
The hospital informed him that he had lost his fertility, and he died of anger on the spot.
That was already unlucky enough; after being accidentally injured, he was literally angered to death, and upon arriving in this world, he couldn't even awaken his Sharingan.
After dying of anger, Uchiha Fuyu was reincarnated into the womb of Uchiha Fugaku's mother, then born, becoming the younger brother of the future Uchiha Clan Head.
Originally, upon arriving in the Naruto World, and being reincarnated as a pure-blooded Uchiha, Uchiha Fuyu thought he would awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan and become an unparalleled powerhouse.
But reality slapped him in the face. He came to this world and hadn't even awakened a single-tomoe Sharingan. Sixteen years had passed, and there was still no sign.
Not only did he receive no benefits from his reincarnation, but he also became a dead last.
Becoming an Elite Chunin at sixteen wasn't too bad, but without awakening the Sharingan, he would be looked down upon within the Uchiha Clan.
But he had no friends, let alone good brothers, so he couldn't experience the intense stimulation needed to awaken his Sharingan.
When he was in school, everyone around him feared the Uchiha Clan, even to the point of aversion, so he had no good friends.
Within the clan, others also kept their distance from him; after all, their statuses were different. Only his brother, Uchiha Fugaku, and his mother were genuinely good to him.
Even his father looked down on him, feeling he was inferior to Uchiha Fugaku in every way, and was even more strict with him.
But killing his brother and mother to awaken his Sharingan? That was a bit too extreme, wasn't it?
Ultimately, his inability to receive the necessary stimulation to awaken his Sharingan was truly helpless.
To awaken the Sharingan, one must experience extreme stimulation; otherwise, it is very difficult to awaken it.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"
Just then, several kunai shot out from all directions, rushing towards Uchiha Fuyu, accompanied by whooshing sounds.
"Hmm?"
"Who's there?"
Uchiha Fuyu frowned, his heart filled with anger, and he drew his kunai to block.
"Clang clang clang...!"
Seven kunai were instantly knocked away, and a dark figure rushed up, throwing a punch at him.
"Hmph."
Uchiha Fuyu snorted coldly, directly jumped off Hokage Rock, his body falling continuously, while his face was upward.
"Fire Release—Great Fireball Jutsu."
Flames spewed from Uchiha Fuyu's mouth, illuminating the entire Hokage Rock, as a giant fireball with a ten-meter diameter was unleashed towards the sky.
"Hmm?"
The dark figure had not expected Uchiha Fuyu to jump directly down. He stood on the edge of Hokage Rock's cliff, looking down, only to find a scorching fireball rushing towards him, his pupils contracting.
"Water Release—Water Wall Jutsu."
The dark figure quickly formed hand signs, and countless water splashes appeared around him, forming a water wall that blocked the Great Fireball.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle...!"
Uchiha Fuyu extended his kunai, plunged it into the rock, used the leverage to leap, and rushed back onto Hokage Rock.
"Good strength."
"However, you still have to die."
"Earth Release—Earth Dragon Bullet."
The dark figure said coldly, quickly forming hand signs. An earth dragon shot up into the sky and charged towards Uchiha Fuyu.
"Earth Release—Earth-Style Wall."
Uchiha Fuyu frowned, quickly formed hand signs, and a huge earth wall appeared in front of him.
"Bang bang bang...!"
The earth dragon crashed into the earth wall, creating a violent sound.
"Fire Release—Flame Bullet."
Unbeknownst to him, the dark figure was already standing on the earth wall, unleashing a huge fireball towards Uchiha Fuyu.
"Damn it, so strong, so fast."
"At least Jonin level."
"I'm no match, I should leave first."
Uchiha Fuyu was horrified. The dark figure in front of him was at least Jonin level; he was no match at all.
"Fire Release—Great Fireball Jutsu."
Uchiha Fuyu also spewed a huge fireball, rushing towards the Flame Bullet.
"Bang bang bang...!"
The two huge fireballs collided, and a massive explosion sounded.
"Go."
Uchiha Fuyu dared not linger any longer, turned and ran.
"Trying to run?"
"Too slow."
The dark figure appeared behind Uchiha Fuyu, holding a kunai to his neck.
"What?"
"When?"
Uchiha Fuyu was horrified, a drop of sweat trickling down his forehead.
"Just when I released the Flame Bullet, you were distracted."
"So, you can go and die now."
The dark figure's hoarse voice sounded, and he waved his right hand.
"Bang...!"
"Hmm?"
"Substitution Jutsu?"
The dark figure slashed with his right hand, only to find he had struck a piece of wood, and said coldly.
"Despair!"
"Earth Release—Fissure Fang."
Uchiha Fuyu burst out of the ground, a slight smile on his lips, striking with a punch like an Ultraman transformation, hitting the dark figure.
"Ah?"
"Bang...!"
The dark figure was struck and immediately turned into a puff of white smoke, disappearing from the spot.
"What?"
"Shadow Clone Jutsu?"
"Oh no."
Uchiha Fuyu was horrified, not expecting the opponent to be a Shadow Clone, and inwardly thought, "This is bad."
"Slap...!"
Sure enough, a figure appeared behind Uchiha Fuyu, reached out and grabbed his arm, placing the kunai at his neck again.
"Damn it...!"
"Who exactly are you?"
Uchiha Fuyu was horrified; he had been caught, and he was completely no match for him.
"Good progress."
"You can even fight your brother to this extent."
"It's just that your mind isn't careful enough."
Just then, a familiar voice appeared in Uchiha Fuyu's mind.
"Brother?"
Uchiha Fuyu was slightly stunned, turned his head, and saw Uchiha Fugaku, who had dispelled his transformation.
"Hahaha...!"
"Fuyu, don't mind it, your brother was just playing with you."
"Seeing you gloomy every day, I wanted to test your strength."
"Very good, you've made progress again!"
Uchiha Fugaku smiled, reaching out and poking Uchiha Fuyu's forehead.
"In front of brother, I'm still too weak."
"Brother awakened his Three-Tomoe Sharingan at sixteen and possessed the strength of an Elite Jonin."
"At full power, he's even comparable to a Kage-level powerhouse."
"I'm sixteen, yet I can't even awaken a single-tomoe Sharingan."
"My strength is stuck at Elite Chunin; I'm truly a dead last."
Uchiha Fuyu reached out and touched his forehead, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Fuyu, don't think like that."
"Brother knows you're definitely the best."
"It's just not your time to awaken yet."
"Actually, awakening the Sharingan isn't really a good thing."
"Brother actually hopes you never awaken it."
Uchiha Fugaku pulled Uchiha Fuyu down to sit, reached out and stroked his hair, narrowing his eyes with a smile.
"Brother means that awakening the Sharingan means losing something important, right?"
Uchiha Fuyu looked at Uchiha Fugaku and asked.
"That's right!"
"Brother also had to lose an important comrade to awaken his Sharingan."
"Actually, brother would rather he be alive."
"So, not awakening it might be a good thing."
Uchiha Fugaku smiled with narrowed eyes, nodding.
"Lost an important comrade?"
"But brother, I don't even have comrades."
"Everyone in the clan looks down on me."
"Classmates and partners dislike me even more."
"Where would I get important comrades?"
"They see this outfit of mine and feel disgusted."
Uchiha Fuyu shook his head, smiling bitterly.
He didn't even have important comrades, so how could he talk about losing them?
"You'll find them eventually."
"Don't be discouraged."
"This outfit, it might bring you disaster, but more than that, it's an honor."
"They fear, which is why they dislike."
"Have confidence in yourself."
"We live for ourselves, not for others."
Uchiha Fugaku chuckled.
"I understand, brother."
Uchiha Fuyu nodded and smiled.
His brother was truly good to him. Perhaps the Uchiha Clan really was full of legendary brother-complexes!
If it weren't for his brother, he wouldn't know what kind of life he would be living.
All the clan members secretly called him names like 'tiger father, dog son' and 'dead last'.
Coupled with the fact that Uchiha Fuyu himself was a transmigrator, he had been desperately trying and working hard, but it was all useless.
An Elite Chunin at sixteen wasn't bad, but in comparison, the gap became apparent.
His brother, a Three-Tomoe Sharingan user at sixteen, was also an Elite Jonin.
His younger brother, however, was a dead last who hadn't awakened his Sharingan even at sixteen. Without comparison, there's no harm.
Everyone compared Uchiha Fuyu to Uchiha Fugaku, and such a comparison inevitably produced a 'dead last'.
