In a small courtyard within the Uchiha district, a Konoha shinobi wearing a headband and Ryuu Uchiha, clad in a battle uniform emblazoned with the Uchiha crest, stepped out.
"Good morning, Mr. Ryuu."
"Captain Ryuu, good morning."
As the members of the Uchiha clan passed by Ryuu Uchiha, they greeted him respectfully.
Although Ryuu was only nineteen years old, in this world, strength was the ultimate measure of respect, regardless of age.
The Uchiha clan, known for their pride and arrogance, still revered the powerful, especially those from their own bloodline.
After transmigrating to this world for nineteen years, Ryuu had relied on his extraordinary talent to become the strongest member of the Uchiha clan.
"Did this transmigrator really not get a cheat?"
With these thoughts lingering in his mind, Ryuu walked toward the training ground.
Currently, with his quasi-Kage-level strength, he was indeed the number one powerhouse of the Uchiha clan, and even within Konoha, he ranked among the top combatants.
Counting all of Konoha, those who were stronger than him could be counted on one hand.
However, in this vast world, without a cheat ability, Ryuu knew he could only reach the limits of Kage-level strength at most.
Although Kage-level was considered the pinnacle of power by many, for Ryuu, who knew the future, Kage-level was not enough.
Perhaps his strength would suffice before the Third Great Ninja War, but by the time the Fourth Great Ninja War arrived, Kage-level shinobi were mere small players in the grand scheme.
"Lord Ryuu, half of the Uchiha clan supports you. It seems like you're destined to be the next clan leader."
As soon as Ryuu arrived at the training ground, Uchiha Kaito approached him and spoke in a hushed tone.
Kaito was one of Ryuu's most loyal subordinates. As an elite Jōnin, he was one of the Uchiha clan's high-ranking combatants.
The current Uchiha clan leader was preparing to step down, intending to pass the position to Uchiha Fugaku. However, this decision was not unanimously accepted.
A significant portion of the Uchiha clan believed Ryuu was the better candidate, especially since he was undeniably stronger than Fugaku.
In the Uchiha clan, power dictated leadership.
"When did I ever say I wanted to be the clan head?" Ryuu replied indifferently.
As a transmigrator, Ryuu knew the Uchiha clan was a ticking time bomb, a thorn in the side of both the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura.
Not only that, but the Uchiha clan had an extremely poor relationship with the other clans in Konoha. They were surrounded by enemies and had no allies.
To Ryuu, the position of clan leader was a thankless job.
He had no interest in shouldering the fate of the Uchiha clan.
"Lord Ryuu, only by becoming the clan leader can you lead the Uchiha to the pinnacle of power!" Kaito said passionately.
Ryuu glanced at Kaito and sighed internally. You overestimate me.
To the top? I can't even prevent the Uchiha Clan Massacre in the future.
Just as these thoughts passed through his mind, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his head.
[Ding! Charging complete! The Villain System is loading: 10%... 30%... 100%! Loading complete!]
Ryuu's expression shifted instantly.
"This isn't an illusion. Even a Kage-level shinobi couldn't cast genjutsu on me without me noticing."
"Could it be...? Has the cheat ability I've been dreaming of finally arrived?!"
Ignoring his conversation with Kaito, Ryuu immediately activated the Body Flicker Technique and rushed back to his residence.
"System!" Ryuu called out in his mind.
[Host, I am here.]
A wide grin spread across Ryuu's face. "Hahaha! It really is a system!"
It was impossible to blame Ryuu for his excitement.
Without a cheat ability, even if he survived until the Fourth Great Ninja War, he would be nothing more than a bystander. He wouldn't even qualify to participate in the grand battles.
As a transmigrator, was he destined to just sit back and watch like a mere spectator?
"System, tell me your functions!" he demanded.
[Host, this system is called the Villain System. As long as you commit villainous acts, you will be rewarded.]
Depending on the level of evil committed, rewards could come in the form of Evil Points or direct material rewards. Evil Points could then be spent in the system's shop.
Ryuu's grin grew even wider.
"Hahaha! Interesting. Very interesting!"
[Mangekyō Sharingan: 300,000 Evil Points]
[Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan: 1 Million Evil Points]
[Perfect Sage Body: 1 Million Evil Points]
[Nine Gouyu Reincarnation Sharingan: 10 Million Evil Points]
"So committing evil deeds makes me stronger?"
Ryuu browsed the system's shop without any hesitation—he was never a good person, to begin with.
"System, is there a beginner's gift package?"
[There is no beginner's gift, but there is a compensation package. Would the Host like to activate it?]
Since the system had been dormant for nineteen years after Ryuu crossed into this world, he was being compensated.
"Activate it immediately!"
[Compensation package opened successfully. Congratulations, Host has received: Zanpakutō – Ryūjin Jakka, and 100,000 Evil Points!]
A simple long sword appeared in Ryuu's hand. Both the scabbard and the blade looked ordinary, but Ryuu knew the power hidden within.
This was the most powerful fire-type Zanpakutō from another world.
"System, are you sure I can use this?"
Zanpakutō were exclusive to Shinigami, who were spirit beings. Using one required Reiatsu, which belonged to a completely different power system.
[Any item granted by the system is fully modified for the Host's use. Instead of Reiatsu, it will now consume Chakra.]
Although he could wield it, Ryuu was unable to activate its Shikai yet. At the very least, he needed to reach full Kage-level strength.
"Looks like I need to start learning swordsmanship."
Ryuu had never properly practiced sword techniques before, using only basic slashes. Now that he had Ryūjin Jakka, not honing his skills would be a waste.
Strapping the sword to his back, Ryuu headed toward the Konoha Police Force headquarters. In addition to being an Elite Jōnin, he was also the deputy captain of the Konoha Police Force.
He hadn't spent the 50,000 Evil Points yet—he didn't lack jutsu. Instead, he planned to save up for the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Upon arriving, he saw Uchiha Fugaku's stern face.
"This is annoying..."
Uchiha Fugaku glared at him. "Ryuu Uchiha, you're late again. This is the seventeenth time this month!"
