"Another soul to be claimed." The Shinigami said darkly as he looked at the young boy below him.
The strong stench of blood he had smelt wasn't new to him in the least, but he could say it's been a while since he'd seen so many dead bodies in one place.
It was quite sad really. A beloved brother who he thought he could trust, ended up murdering his whole clan..well him and another, but he wasn't focused on him.
After stabbing his sword through his little brother's chest, Itachi Uchiha coldly left him for dead in his own puddle of blood. He even used his Mangekyo Sharingan's ability, Tsukuyomi, on him. Making him relive the massacre for 72 hours.
It was definitely evil..one of the coldest things the Shinigami had witnessed.
But such was the way of life.
Snakes tended to hide within your own family these days.
'Oh? What is this??' The Shinigami thought as he could see purple Aura enveloping Sasuke Uchiha's body.
His eyes widened slightly as he realized what was happening.
He let out a small chuckle. It seems like he wasn't needed here anymore. Hm..he may as well leave a small gift for the young one.
The Shinigami held his hand out towards Sasuke's body, and bright blue energy shot out from it. It fused with the purple energy and both entered Sasuke's body.
The Shinigami nodded.
"It is finished." He said. It's going to be interesting watching how he improves and moves forward.
The Shinigami smirked. He was sure he would see Itachi Uchiha real soon.
He let out a chuckle as he disappeared.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke stirred and slowly opened his eyes.

"What is this?" He questioned as he slowly stood up to his feet. He immediately covered his nose at the stench of blood.
The memories from what happened before crashed into his mind with force.
[Passive Skill Activated]
[Gamer's Mind] : Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through. Allows peaceful state of mind and immunity to mental disorder.
Sasuke felt..calm. He didn't know what it was but it definitely had something to do with whatever the hell these blue letters in front of him were.
His Mother would've definitely scolded him for swearing.
Anyways, he turned to the left and could see the fallen bodies of his Aunt Uruchi and Uncle Teyaki. He slowly walked over to them.
He was surprised at what popped up.
[Recyclable Trash Found.]
Uruchi Uchiha and Teyaki Uchiha. [Corpses]
[Would you like to scavenge these corpses?] [Yes] or [No]
'Scavenge? Recycle? What do these terms even mean??' Sasuke thought with confusion. His Aunt and Uncle were most definitely not trash and he was annoyed that whatever this was called them that.
But what exactly would happen..if he said Yes?
.
.
His curiosity needed to be satiated. He quickly said his apologies and a prayer to his Aunt and Uncle. He then said 'Yes.'
Suddenly the space around him was ripped open and large purple skeletal-like hands reached out and grabbed Uruchi and Teyaki. (Similar to his skeletal Susanoo.) The hands then pulled their corpses into the dark black space.
It..almost scared him shitless. Almost.

[Chef's Touch-LV.1] : Plus 5 to cooking skills. Increases by 1 each level.

"So that's what it does.." Sasuke said. This was starting to make sense more and more.
He decided to backtrack a bit.
"What are HP, CP, and MP?" He questioned out.
[Health Points, Chakra Points, and Mana Points.]
Of course he knew what health and Chakra were, but Mana? He had never heard of it. "And what's Mana?" He questioned again.
[Magic or mana is an attribute assigned to players within the 'game' that indicates their power to use special magical abilities or "spells."]
Interesting. So basically it's another power he has access to and this is actually called a 'game' or whatever. He then pressed onto his different Titles.

Well that answered that question in his mind. Wasn't a Shinigami a Death God? He wondered when he had appeared..had to be whenever he was out. He was surprised that the Shinigami actually 'chose' him. He wondered why.
He assumed this 'Scavenger' job allowed him to recycle things and doing so allowed him to gain rewards in a sense.
plus 2 INT
Nice. He could also gain Attribute Points through other means too.
He looked around at all the dead Uchiha bodies and a light flashed in his head.
He would use their strength and power to do what's right. He will be unlike his older b-Itachi, but he will definitely make Itachi pay for what he did.
Sasuke walked to the first dead Uchiha member and got to work.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke wiped the tears from his eyes as he stared at the places his parents just were. He tried to hold it in..but the tears fell on their own as he seen their dead faces.
This would definitely be the last time he cried for a while.
He scavenged all of the Uchiha members bodies and acquired different skills, items, and rewards.
It was fulfilling in a way, but now he definitely needed air. He decided to walk to the cliff above the Naka River.
Once Sasuke reached the cliff, he closed his eyes as the cold yet comforting breeze settled on his skin. It helped clear his mind of all the thoughts that built up. He then opened his eyes to peer down at the river.
"What?" He questioned as the more than familiar blue letters popped up.
[Recyclable Trash Found.]
Shisui Uchiha [Corpse]
[Would you like to scavenge this corpse?] [Yes] or [No]
So this is where Shisui died, but Itachi said that he died in a mission..
Sasuke decided to use one of the skills he recently acquired to figure out the truth.
"Use Passive Skill Veracity. How exactly did Shisui die?" Sasuke asked as he used the skill.
[Itachi Uchiha was working with Danzo to kill all of the Uchiha. The Coup de tat was used as a disguise for the real truth. Itachi knowing Shisui was trying to prevent everything from happening with his Dojutsu's ability, slashed Shisui's eyes and neck. He then kicked him off of the cliff into the Naka River.]
The lividness that grew into Sasuke at that was astronomical.
His fist clenched tight and he grit his teeth.
Shisui..was like another brother to them and Itachi killed him too?? Shisui definitely didn't deserve the betrayal or death.
The Gamer's Mind skill quickly calmed him down. He released a heavy breath.
'Your death won't be in vain Shisui I promise.' He thought with assurance as he pressed Yes.
[Trash Disintegrating..]

[Kotoamatsukami-LV.1] : allows the user to enter the mind of any individual within their field of view, and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things of their own free will. It is regarded as a genjutsu of the highest calibre, due to the victim being entirely unaware that they are being manipulated
[Plus 20 Attribute Points.]
Sasuke actually smiled at his acquirements. The strongest Genjutsu in the world was just gifted to him. It would surely be of use to him in the future. He promised he would avenge Shisui's death.
Now he thought about what he could do. To everyone else, he was dead like the rest of his Clan. Maybe he could venture off..explore the Elemental Nations for himself.
He would definitely have to store food and supplies..he wondered how he-
[Remember that you have access to the inventory.]
"That's right." Sasuke said as he pulled it up. Strangely there were already items in it, so he decided to see what they were.
"A weapon and clothes?" Sasuke questioned as he looked at them.

Sasuke smirked with satisfaction. He gave his thanks to the Shinigami because these were beyond impressive. He quickly equipped all of the items.
He closed his eyes as he felt the boost in his overall Stats. He felt stronger,lighter, and even more smarter. This was..astonishing. His eyes opened again and he couldn't help the smirk that came upon his face.
'Hm what should be the next stop?' He thought with curiosity.
He then stood silently, the breeze carrying the faint scent of blood as he glanced back at the remains of the Uchiha compound. The memories of his family's massacre still clung to him like a dark shroud, but his mind, strengthened by the Gamer's Mind skill, kept him calm. He knew that leaving Konoha was the only path forward. If he stayed, he would remain the broken child Itachi had left behind. To truly honor his clan, he needed to grow stronger, to rise above what Itachi had made him.
Before he left, though, he felt a deep sense of obligation—a final duty to his fallen family. Sasuke turned his gaze toward the Uchiha ancestral grounds, the burial site of the clan's most honored members. Walking quietly, he headed there with a solemn determination. His feet barely made a sound as he approached the resting place of his ancestors. Despite the destruction and bloodshed that stained the Uchiha name, this place remained untouched.
Once he arrived, he knelt before the graves, the silence around him almost deafening. The air felt heavy, as if the spirits of the Uchiha were watching him, waiting to see what he would do next. Sasuke closed his eyes, reflecting on the honor and pride his clan had once held. They were powerful, proud, and feared, but now they were reduced to a memory—killed by one of their own.
With slow, deliberate movements, Sasuke placed his hand on the ground before the graves, bowing his head in deep respect. He could feel the weight of his clan's legacy on his shoulders. For a brief moment, the cold and distant façade he had been forced to wear cracked, revealing a young boy who had lost everything.
"I promise.." Sasuke whispered, his voice low but filled with conviction, "I will avenge you all. I will rebuild the honor of our clan… and Itachi will pay for his crimes."
The wind picked up slightly, as if responding to his vow. His new powers from the Shinigami's Chosen One title hummed within him, and Sasuke felt the faint presence of the Shinigami watching over him. It was almost as if death itself was waiting to see how far Sasuke would go to fulfill his promise.
Rising to his feet, Sasuke pulled up the Shinigami's Tanto once more from his inventory, gripping the cold hilt tightly. He walked over to the Uchiha crest, a large symbol painted on one of the remaining walls of the compound. With a quick slash, he engraved his name below it, a personal signature of sorts.
"Sasuke Uchiha-" he muttered. "I will carry this name to the end."
The tanto gleamed in the fading light, and Sasuke's resolve solidified. With a final glance at the graves, he sheathed the blade and began walking away. But as he did, a notification popped up in his vision.
[New Passive Skill Unlocked!]
[Honor the Fallen] As you honor your ancestors, you gain a passive boost to your willpower and chakra regeneration. 10% increase to chakra regeneration when near Uchiha memorials or places of significance.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Sasuke's lips. Even in death, his clan would still empower him. He gave a final nod to the graves before turning away, heading toward the village gates. It was time to leave Konoha behind—for now. This place had nothing left to offer him but painful memories, and he needed to forge his path elsewhere.
As he walked through the empty streets of Konoha, Sasuke activated Death's Cloak, making his presence fade into the shadows. His decision to leave was his alone—no one would stop him. His figure blurred, and with Body Flicker, he disappeared into the night, making his way toward the open road that led beyond the village.
His goal was clear: find power, master his new abilities, and prepare for the inevitable confrontation with Itachi.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as the notification appeared before him. He was now marked by the Shinigami, empowered by the spirits of his ancestors, and burdened by the vengeance that had consumed him since this night of the massacre. There was no turning back.
The darkness surrounding him seemed to grow heavier, as if the Shinigami itself was watching with anticipation. With the newly acquired Death's Cloak still active, Sasuke moved unnoticed through the village gates, his mind already focused on the trials that awaited him.
As he disappeared into the night, a sense of finality washed over him. The boy who had once cried for his family was no more. In his place stood a warrior, armed with the power of both life and death, ready to reclaim the honor of the Uchiha name.
