"Say it.."
A bruised and bloodied Sasuke coughed up another glob of blood.
"Remember my face as you leave your pathetic little life younger brother..just like with the rest of the Uchiha Clan haha." Itachi evilly laughed.
What his older brother told him before he left him for dead, was repeating in his mind constantly and constantly. It was like a never ending cycle.
"Do you want to end your life off life this?"
Sasuke didn't know where the voice was coming from, but it was an interesting question. What happened during this day came so..sudden. After leaving the academy he wanted to come home to the loving smile of his Mother and proud face of his Father. Not...this
He could say he didn't want his life to end this way. He wanted to at least continue on for his dead family..too bad he was too weak to do anything to his ol-Itachi
"If that is true..then say the word."
Sasuke coughed again. '..say what?' He thought unknowingly.
"A-"
Suddenly the word popped into his mind. It was as if a new power inside him waited patiently and eagerly for him to say it.
"Arise." Sasuke said calmly with narrowed eyes. He was surprised he managed to say even that in his current state.
His surprise turned into astonishment of what now was happening around him.
All around, his family bodies he once thought were dead appeared around him immediately in the form of deathly purple..shadows??
"Sasuke!!"
His eyes widened as he heard his Mother's voice. He gazed upwards to see her immediately kneel down beside him and start to heal him.
[Mikoto Uchiha LV.1]
Knight
'Huh? What are these..words??' He thought curiously but was more surprised at his Mother's form. "Mom?! Y-You're alive!" He yelled out unbelievably as he was getting healed.
"Yes my son, I'm here for you." Mikoto said as she smiled widely as tears started falling from her face.
"That Itachi..I never would've thought he would actually betray us." Another voice said.
[Fugaku Uchiha LV.1]
General
"Father you're back too! Auntie..Uncle..and even-!" Sasuke paused as he was interrupted.
[Shisui Uchiha LV.1]
Elite Knight
"Me too. Hello Sasuke. What Itachi did..I'm truly sorry that happened to you." Shisui said as he had an extremely saddened look to him that was unlike him.
"..S-Shisui is that really you??" Sasuke questioned, his voice cracking. He gazed into the dark sky for a second. 'What exactly is going on?'
Suddenly his vision began to fade to black.
"I can help you with that."
He heard the earlier voice from before say.
-Cutscene-
Once Sasuke opened his eyes, and could see he was in some type of black, white, and purplish void. It had a strangely eerie, but comfortable feeling to it.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you..Sasuke."
Sasuke turned to see a tall, slim, but muscular man. He had long black hair and looked to be wearing some kind of glowing black and purplish armor.
"..w-who are you?" Sasuke asked. He went on guard. Even though the man was intimidating, he wouldn't back down from a fight.
The man raised his hand. "Relax, I'm not here to hurt you, only to help. My name is Sung Jin Woo. To put it bluntly, I'm from another world." Jin Woo started.
Sasuke looked in awe at that fact. "Another world??" He asked.
Jin Woo nodded. "Yes. The reason I'm here is to look for a suitable successor for my power. Fortunately for you, you are the one I choose." He said.
Sasuke's eyes widened at that fact. "B-But why..me?"
"You will find out the reason yourself. I will help you train your newly power, but you have to promise me something first." Jin Woo eyes went sharp as he turned serious.
Sasuke had a questioning look on his face.
"Promise me that you won't let the darkness consume you..that you will continue to fight for what's right until the very end." He said.
"I promise." Sasuke said without hesitation and honestly. Unlike Itachi, he would do things that will make his family proud, he swore it.
Jin Woo smiled nostalgically. Sasuke at this moment reminded him of his younger self. That drive and wanting to be stronger..he will most definitely become the strongest. He will help him.
It was the least he could do since..he couldn't return to his world.
"Let's get started. As you know you have received 'The System.'" Jin Woo said. He could see the questioning expression of Sasuke, so he decided to do something that would make this process go faster and smoother.
He held out a fist and gestured to it.
Sasuke raised a curious eyebrow but walked up and fistbumped Jin Woo.
Once he did, dozens of memories filled his mind. He clutched his head in pain, but managed to stay on his feet.
After a few minutes it was complete.
Sasuke took deep breaths as it was over.
He then paused and looked at Jin Woo with awe and surprise.
"Y-You.." He started.
Jin Woo nodded with a grin. "Indeed Sasuke and you can be the same..or even something more, but tell me..are you ready?" Jin Woo's eyes glowed purple as he looked at Sasuke.
Sasuke's eyes were closed. After a second they then snapped opened.
His eyes were exactly the color of Jin Woo's. "More than anything." He responded.
Jin Woo smiled and nodded. "So your village and Itachi thinks you're dead. This is something we can use to our advantage. Graduation at the academy doesn't happen until 5 to 6 more years. In the meantime you will be training..hard." He said.
Sasuke remembered the training and many things Jin Woo did to get stronger. It was going to be a very very difficult road ahead, but he was ready.

Sasuke once again looked at his Stats as he was walking through the area in the E Rank gate.
Jin Woo wasn't lying when he said he would have to start from the ground up like he did. He does indeed have Jin Woo's powers, but Jin Woo restricted access to basically most of it. At least he could still use the Shadow abilities. Even though Jin Woo said to use it in a rare case because he needs to train himself and not rely on his summons, but he can use the other Shadow abilities whenever he wants to.
Unlike in Jin Woo's world, the gates in the Elemental Nations utilizes both Ninjas and monsters. Meaning depending on the gate, he can fight E Rank or up to S Rank class ninjas. He would stay on E Rank of course and then work his way up as he gets stronger.
When he gets to a certain level and strength, he will fight Jin Woo and that will determine if he will get all of his power or not.
He clenched his fist. He will get stronger..even more stronger than Jin Woo himself.
A goal that seemed unreachable, but nothing was impossible.
He may as well distribute his Stat Points while he has a chance to. He wondered what would happen if he put the points into his strength, dexterity, and stamina. He will then put the next points he get into the others. He put 25 points into each. Since he had 25 left over, he split them between sense and intelligence. He could feel himself instantly get more powerful.
Jin Woo himself was watching him attentively and with interest on the inside of him. He was silent and observant.
Sasuke had a couple ideas on how he could get stronger quickly. One was to train with his clan members. Considering their rank and how strong t-
Sasuke's thoughts paused as he sensed something. His eyes glowed purple as he turned to his left.
[Goblin LV.1]
[Goblin LV.1]
[Goblin LV.1]
[Goblin LV.1]
He glared at the small pack of Goblins who were laughing maniacally. Other than having strength in numbers, these things were weak. Right now he didn't have a weapon, but he did have-
Sasuke clenched his fists. These.
Sasuke speed blitzed the first Goblin and punched it in the head. The Goblin let out a loud noise of pain before being blown back hard into the rocky wall.
Sasuke made signs. "Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu!" He yelled the technique.
[Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu skill activated.]
[-30 CP]
The other three Goblin's eyes widened as they stopped laughing.
-Woosh-
The Fireball Jutsu burned and melted through them immediately as it hit.
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Bonus EXP] : Flawless Victory
Sasuke smirked. 'Who's laughing now?' He thought. He was already leveling up good so that was a plus. He would input the Stat Points once he was done with the boss. He nodded with satisfactory and continued his walk.
He came across these large black doors.
[Those who are worthy continue to pursue, if you're doubtful it will be the end of you.]
A sign on the doors read. Sasuke couldn't go back now, so he entered through the doors into whatever was on the other side.
Sasuke looked around and could see a large barren wasteland area all around him.
"Well well isn't this a surprise."
Sasuke turned his head to see himself smiling right back at him. The other him looked much more..sinister and evil though.

Sasuke looked at the level of his 'Evil Twin.'
[Dark Sasuke Uchiha LV. 10]
9 levels ahead of him and he seemed to have the power of an A ranked Shinobi at least.
"If you're afraid, it's too late to leave.." Dark Sasuke said as he maliciously smirked.
Sasuke himself smirked back. Well it's only one thing he can do now to end this quickly.
"Come out." He said calmly.
A second later, the purple shadow form of Shisui Uchiha appeared beside Sasuke.
[Shisui Uchiha LV.1]
Elite Knight
Sasuke figured he didn't need the entirety of the Uchiha Clan for just one person.
"I'm here Sasuke, so the evil version of you wants a fight huh?" Shisui questioned as he unsheathed his tanto. "I'll be glad to oblige."
"HaHa you think your Shadow is going to work against me? I am-" Dark Sasuke was interrupted.
-Whoosh-
Sasuke's eyes widened with surprise as Dark Sasuke's head flew from his shoulders.
"You should try talking less." Shisui said as he sheathed his tanto back.
[The boss has been killed.]

"Looks nice Sasuke. You should check out your rewards." Shisui said with a smile.
Sasuke noticed that Shisui managed to upgrade a level.
[Shisui Uchiha LV.2]
Elite Knight
Shisui then disappeared. Sasuke could see glowing purple items around Dark Sasuke's body and went to check it out.
[Name: Indra's Bow and Arrow] LV.1
Level of Difficulty: A Rank
Type: Bow and Arrow
Attack 500
Lightning Elemental Chance 110%
Bow and Arrow brimming with Indra's Lightning Power.
[Effects]
[An Increase to attack damage and speed since you are Indra's Reincarnation.]
'Indra's Reincarnation? I'll have to check that out later.' Sasuke thought as he equipped the weapon.
The weapon looked to be completely made up of Lightning. He couldn't wait to test it out. He remembered going on hunting trips with him in the past, so he wasn't new to a bow and arrow.
The next item were clothes. (Sasuke Chunin Exam outfit.) They were A Rank and gave an increase to his Stats, Skills, and defense. He already had them equipped.
The last item was a..Rune?
[Rune Stone] Proficient Eyes
[Breaking this Rune Stone will grant you a passive skill.]
'Proficient Eyes? Sounds interesting.' Sasuke thought as he then crushed the Rune Stone in his hands.
[New Passive Skill Unlocked]
[Proficient Eyes] : Allows your Dojutsu to level up at a much faster rate
Sasuke grinned. 'Now that will most definitely be useful for me.' He thought with satisfaction. Now it was time to see his quest rewards. First his new weapon and skill book.
[Name: Kusanagi] LV.1
Level of Difficulty: A Rank
Type: Sword
Attack 1000
Elemental Chance 110%
Wielded by one of the legendary Sannin, this blade can extend and cut through almost anything. Depending on Element, various effects can be applied.
[Effects]
Now that was just..unbelievable. He already got great rewards and this was just A Rank imagine what he would get for higher ones?
[Kusanagi Sword Mastery]
[Would you like to learn this book?] [Yes] or [No]?
This was from the weapon skill book. Sasuke pressed yes.
[Kusanagi Sword Mastery] LV.1
Next were the new passive skill and necklace. He pulled them up.
[New Passive Skill Unlocked!]
[Underarmor] LV.1 : Allows for 20% more durability and Elemental Resistance
[Purple Yasaka Bead Necklace] LV.1 : When equipped, increases Stats and Skills by 20
Sasuke could feel himself get more stronger and powerful. He let out a pleased smile before pulling up the blessed or cursed boxes.
He was curious on which one he should get, but something was telling him to get the blessed one. He figured he could always get the cursed box at a later time. He pressed the blessed one and watched as it opened.
[You can now choose to be a hybrid of a Clan.]
[Choose the Clan.]
[Otsutsuki] : an ancient clan of horned humanoid creatures known as celestial beings and also described as aliens and revered as equivalent to gods
[Uchiha] : is a well known clan of Konohagakure, reputed to be the village's strongest because of their Sharingan and natural battle prowess.
[Already an Uchiha.]
[Senju] : were one of the strongest clans during the Warring States Period, and co-founded the Hidden Leaf Village, alongside the Uchiha clan
[Uzumaki] : a formerly prominent clan in Uzushiogakure. Its members are renown for having bright, red hair, possessing incredibly strong life-forces and chakra, and their prowess in fūinjutsu
[Hyuga] : a well known clan of Konohagakure, as well as the strongest clan in the village. All members born into this clan possess the Byakugan, a kekkei genkai that gives them extended fields of vision and the ability to see through solid objects and even the chakra circulatory system, amongst other things
[These are the main clans. If you wish to choose something different, say the name of the clan.]
Sasuke was now looking awestruck and shocked at what he was seeing. He could be a..hybrid? He didn't even know the Otsutsuki was a clan. From the description it seemed to be the best option to get, so that's what he pressed.
[You have chose the Ōtsutsuki clan]
bonus to all Stats and Skills!
Kekkai Mora unlocked!
Shinjutsu unlocked!
Sasuke smiled widely as he felt the massive increase in power within himself. This was a great day today. Very great in fact. He actually had a few ideas he wanted to test out.
He looked at the dead body of Dark Sasuke. He couldn't forget to do this.
"Arise." He said calmly.
The purple Shadow of Dark Sasuke released from his dead body.
[Dark Sasuke LV.1]
Knight
"It's a pleasure to be of your service Sasuke-sama." Dark Sasuke said.
Sasuke nodded. "Likewise. You can go now."
Dark Sasuke nodded and disappeared.
After Sasuke was done, he noticed the environment around him start to change back to the black, white, and purplish void.
He heard the sound of claps.
"Amazing job Sasuke..actually that was a beyond amazing performance especially for your first gate." Jin Woo said with a proud smile.
Sasuke smiled back. "Thanks Jin Woo. I plan to enter another one in a minute, but I want to go back first."
Jin Woo raised a curious eyebrow. "Go back?" He asked.
Sasuke nodded. "Yeah. I've got a few things I want to try out real fast." He replied.
"Alright. Make haste and don't get caught by anyone." Jin Woo said.
"I won't." Sasuke replied.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke made it back to the Uchiha Clan Compound and noticed everyone's bodies were still there. It almost looked like time didn't pass at all from the moment he left. Time most definitely passed by way faster in the other place.
Anyways though, he had to hurry. He went over to one of the male dead corpses. He said a quick apology before opening his eyelids.
[?Secret Item?]
[Sharingan Eyes] : Since you already have Sharingans of your own, if you come across Mangekyo Sharingan eyes, you can inherit their abilities.
Sasuke smiled. It worked. He once heard his Father talking about the Mangekyo Sharingan. It was the fourth stage of the Sharingan. After was the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he didn't know if it was something after that..he would figure it out soon enough. He would save the Sharingan Eyes that didn't have the Mangekyo Sharingan because who knows, they could be useful for something else.
'Time to get to work.' He thought.
-A short while later-
Sasuke got the last of the Sharingan Eyes and nodded. He would see what was what later. He had one more thing to do before he went back and that was visit the library.
He figured if he could learn from a weapon skill book then other types of books should do the same. He originally never visited the library because only mature Shinobi were allowed on the inside. Now he could though.
Sasuke entered the large black doors of the Uchiha Clan Library. He could see thousands upon thousands of books all around.
He quickly went to the 'Jutsu' section and picked up a book.
[Would you like to learn Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu?] [Yes] or [No]?
Sasuke smiled widely. This was going to take a while, but he would manage.
-Cutscene-
Once Sasuke was finished, he walked around and double checked for anything he missed. He turned to his right and noticed something far ahead. Strange he could've sworn he passed right by this and it wasn't there before. It was an altar that had lit up candles around it. On the altar looked to be some kind of black scroll.
He walked up to the altar and then opened up the scroll.
[Cat Beast Summoning Scroll] : Allows you to summon different Elemental Cat Beasts to aid you in battle for defense or offense
[Do you accept the contract?] [Yes] or [No]?
Sasuke's eyes widened with surprise and curiosity. Cat Beasts? He knew that the Uchiha Clan was a cat summoning clan, but didn't think that this would be here. He pressed yes.
[Do you want to meet your new summons?[Yes] or [No]?
He figured he would meet them later because he had to go now. He was sure that Shinobi were about to come soon, so with that he declined and went back.
