"Even looks like Uchiha Madara?"
Standing shirtless in the bathroom, Kurosawa Ren examined his reflection in the mirror. His physique was well-balanced, his muscles clearly defined, and his eight-pack abs stood out sharply—though the lingering paleness on his face hadn't completely faded yet.
"This really is Madara in his youth," Ren muttered.
Almost subconsciously, he blinked. In an instant, his originally dark pupils turned scarlet, and three black tomoe began rotating slowly within them.
The world around him sharpened dramatically.
Every detail became crystal clear—even a tiny speck of dust drifting through the air couldn't escape his vision.
"This is… the Sharingan?"
To be honest, Ren still found it hard to believe. He had actually become a character from an anime—and not just any character, but the infamous Uchiha Madara from the ninja world.
From the memories left behind by the system, Ren learned that he had inherited all of Madara's power at his peak.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.Wood Release.The Rinnegan.Even the power of the Six Paths.
Once this information fully sank in, Ren finally relaxed.
In a world overflowing with powerful Quirks, he could at least say he had the ability to protect himself.
But…
"Heh. Calling this 'self-defense' is an understatement."
Ren covered his right eye, leaving only the three-tomoe Sharingan visible in his left. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"This is straight-up invincibility."
…
-----The Next Morning-----
"Ding dong~"
Early the next morning, the doorbell rang loudly—so loud that it echoed throughout the entire villa.
"Who could that be…?" Ren sat up abruptly, still half-asleep.
After fumbling around for about five minutes, he finally dragged himself out of bed and glanced at the clock on the wall.
7:00 a.m.
"I don't know anyone here… and this early too?" Ren scratched his hair groggily and, without even bothering to put on a shirt, headed downstairs and opened the door.
Standing outside was a girl with long black hair and delicate features. Her figure was tall and well-proportioned, closer to that of a Western model than a typical middle schooler.
Especially… her chest.
"H-Hello, I'm—"
The girl started to introduce herself, but the moment she noticed Ren standing there half-naked, her face turned bright red.
"Ahhh!!"
She inhaled sharply and screamed, her cheeks flushing like a ripe apple.
"Hey, stop screaming!" Ren snapped awake instantly and hurriedly covered her mouth. "It's not like I did anything to you!"
The girl took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down. She lowered her head, clearly too embarrassed to look him in the eye.
"C-Could you… put on some clothes first?"
"Huh?" Ren looked down.
Only then did he realize he was wearing nothing but… a pair of underwear.
That realization jolted him fully awake.
"I'm so sorry!" Ren scratched his hair awkwardly. "This morning was a bit chaotic. Let me get dressed first."
Without waiting for a response, he closed the door, quickly threw on some clothes, and opened it again.
"Please, come in," Ren said, stepping aside. "I'll make you some tea."
"If that's the case… then thank you," the girl replied softly, still blushing as she walked inside.
As she entered, Ren glanced at her back and muttered quietly, "Wait… isn't that Yaoyorozu Momo? Why is she here?"
…
-----An Unexpected Visit-----
"Hello," the girl said once she'd settled onto the sofa. "My name is Yaoyorozu Momo. It's a pleasure to meet you."
She extended her hand politely.
"Ah—hello," Ren replied, shaking it. "My name is Kuros—uh, I mean… Uchiha Madara."
As he spoke, his eyes briefly—very briefly—flicked downward.
That outfit really was… revealing.
Just like in the anime.
He quickly regained his composure, and Momo didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
"My family lives across the street," Momo continued with a gentle smile. "Also… I'm very sorry about your parents. I hope you're holding up alright."
There was genuine sympathy in her eyes.
"Huh?"
Ren was momentarily stunned, but he didn't interrupt.
"Oh, right," Momo added, pulling out several large bags and placing them on the coffee table. "These are from my parents. They asked me to bring them to you."
"Your parents…?" Ren blinked, feeling puzzled.
Why would they bring so many things?
Was this some kind of… proposal?
"Your parents and mine were business partners," Momo explained calmly, having clearly noticed his confusion. "Didn't you know?"
"Oh… that makes sense," Ren replied, suddenly understanding.
So this was another arrangement left behind by the system.
"I appreciate your parents' kindness," Ren said as he placed the freshly brewed tea on the table. "Please thank your father and mother for me."
Momo took a sip, surprisingly bold for her refined appearance.
"If there's nothing else," she said, standing up, "I should be going."
"I'll walk you out," Ren replied.
They walked side by side to the door. Ren opened it for her.
"How gentlemanly," Momo said with a soft smile.
As she stepped outside, she added without turning back, "We're the same age, aren't we? Are you interested in applying to U.A. High School?"
Ren closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, a faint smile forming.
"Of course I am. I'll see you there."
"I'll be waiting for you~"
