Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Making The First Move

The orange sun had long dipped below the horizon, giving way to the soft glow of the rising moon. Yet, in the quiet of his yard, Kadoya Uchiha continued his training, pushing himself as hard as a five-year-old possibly could.

He focused on the rhythmic flow of his breathing, practicing the Hamon breathing technique in tandem with his physical exercises. Though he lacked the ability to harness Hamon just yet, he knew that mastery over his breathing would serve as a foundation for using it in the future.

Each controlled inhale and exhale strengthened his lungs, expanding his stamina. Every movement refined his Taijutsu, shaping his young body into something more capable. Discipline now would mean power later.

According to his system, growth wasn't solely dependent on Ninja Points. As long as he trained with diligence, his skills would naturally improve over time.

Ninja Point: 604

Chakra Level 2 (3/1000)

Taijutsu Level 2 (13/1000)

Throwing Level 2 (6/1000)

Hamon Level 1 (11/500)

"What are you doing?"

Kadoya turned around, exhausted, only to see a familiar figure approaching. Natsumi Uchiha—his older sister. Her long, smooth black hair cascaded down her back, and she wore a Chūnin vest over her dark blue ninja attire, the Uchiha clan emblem proudly displayed on her back.

"Sis… I was just training," Kadoya said, recognizing her instantly.

Without a word, she walked up to him, grabbed the back of his collar, and began dragging his tired body toward the house.

"I heard about your little stunt on your first day..." she started, before casually tossing him onto the living room floor. Her face held a tired, yet exasperated expression. "Seriously, what got into you? Sending three kids to the infirmary on the first day? What, still mad at me, so you decided to take it out on your classmates?"

Her crimson Sharingan, now active with two tomoe, bore into him.

Kadoya flinched slightly. Before inheriting the memories of another soul, he had fought with his sister over something ridiculous—a new ninja toy. She had refused, saying they didn't have the money to waste on it. At the time, he had thrown a tantrum.

Now, with his new perspective, the memory felt embarrassingly childish—like looking back at a cringeworthy moment from the past.

His sister had raised him since he was a newborn, practically taking on the role of his mother. She was strict, sometimes harsh, but Kadoya could now recognize it for what it was—tough love.

If he had learned anything from his past life's regrets, it was that there were some things you shouldn't take for granted.

Taking a deep breath, he moved to sit in front of her and then—

Bowed at a perfect 90-degree angle.

"Sis, I want to apologize for my childish behavior yesterday."

His voice was steady, filled with sincerity.

Natsumi blinked, caught completely off guard.

"Oh?" she smirked, leaning forward slightly. "And what new toy do you want this time?"

She couldn't resist teasing him a little. Her brother's sudden shift in attitude was strange, but not unwelcome. In fact, she found it refreshing. It was like watching a child finally start to mature.

Kadoya shook his head. "I don't want anything... but can you teach me chakra control training?"

The moment he said that, her amused smirk shifted into a knowing, smug expression.

"Aha. I knew it." She placed her hand on his head and ruffled his hair, much to his annoyance. "You're still too young for that. Just relax and enjoy your time at the academy. I'll start training you when you turn eight."

Kadoya sighed but nodded reluctantly. It was disappointing, but he knew better than to argue.

"Alright, I'm going to make dinner now," Natsumi said, deactivating her Sharingan before heading to the kitchen.

Watching her retreating back, Kadoya's gaze drifted to the side—

And suddenly, he saw something strange.

A picture of a man and woman standing together, with a small girl between them.

He recognized the girl instantly—it was his sister, Natsumi.

But the adults?

The woman was unfamiliar.

The man, however... he felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

Memories from the story surfaced, and though he wasn't the biggest fan of Naruto, he remembered enough to recognize a few key figures.

Shrugging off his thought for now, Kadoya walked toward the kitchen, where his sister was stir-frying noodles—a simple, quick meal.

'Our budget must really be tight...' he thought. Their house, though large, was at the edge of the Uchiha District. On the way home, he had noticed the other Uchiha kids avoiding him—not with hostility, but with a sense of distance.

It wasn't like how Naruto was treated—no outright scorn—but there was definitely something off.

Sitting at the dining table, Kadoya noticed something.

His bowl was noticeably bigger than Natsumi's.

While he had generous portions of meat and vegetables, his sister's bowl contained far less.

It was a quiet, unspoken gesture.

Despite coming home after a long mission, despite being the one who truly needed the extra food for recovery—she still prioritized his growth over her own.

Kadoya hesitated, then spoke.

"Sis… can you tell me about Mom and Dad?"

The question caught her off guard. Her hand briefly froze, and though she quickly masked her reaction, he had already seen it.

"Mother... let's not talk about her," she finally said, her voice controlled. "As for our father… he was Kagami Uchiha, a disciple of the Second Hokage."

Kadoya's eyes narrowed slightly.

'Kagami Uchiha... I see. That explains a lot.'

The edge-of-the-district home, the cold glances from other Uchiha, the silent avoidance.

Kagami Uchiha had been a trusted subordinate of Tobirama Senju, the man who the Uchiha Clan resented the most.

And his mother...?

Judging from his sister's reaction, she must have done something unforgivable.

Suddenly, a screen appeared in his vision.

Congratulations! Hidden Quest Completed: "Mom & Dad - Act 1"

Reward: +1000 Ninja Points

Kadoya almost jumped out of his seat.

'Wait, my system has a QUEST function too!?'

He barely held back his shock, quickly schooling his expression. It seemed like his system was more complex than he originally thought.

There was the Points System, Upgrades, Titles, Inventory, a Gacha… and now, Quests too.

'I need to study this system more. There might be even more functions I haven't unlocked yet.'

Later, Kadoya began studying his system but besides the functions he already knew about, he couldn't find anything new.

The Next Morning

Kadoya was up early, going through his morning exercise before heading to the Academy.

Aside from keeping his body in peak condition, it also earned him extra Ninja Points.

Last night, he had invested 1000 Ninja Points into Taijutsu, boosting it to Level 3.

Every push-up, every movement, every effort—all contributed to his growth.

...

Now sitting in class with a tired expression, Kadoya has his face on his desk, too tired to focus on his teacher, still thanks to his new breathing technique, he was able to recover enough of his strength to participate in the Sparring Class.

This led to three more students being sent to the infirmary, Mayabi felt like she needed to ban Kadoya from participating in the Sparring Class, if this keeps up each day, then her students will be sent to the infirmary daily.

After class, upon coming home, he goes right to train his body. Kadoya also wanted to train his other skills like Chakra, Hand Seal, and Genjutsu, but since he hasn't even begun practicing how to control his Chakra first, those three skills have to take a back seat for now.

So he focused on his regular body exercise, shuriken throwing, and Hamon breathing.

It had been a week since starting the Ninja School, Kadoya couldn't make any friends due to how rough he handled everyone during the Sparring Class. But today was different, he could feel it. 

"The next match," Ms. Mayabi began before letting out a tired sigh, "Kadoya Uchiha and Saiguu Hyuga!"

She said his name in a reluctant tone.

Facing him was a girl from the Hyuga clan, the two stood face to face with each other, she wore a white kimono opposite from Kadoya's black kimono.

Her expression hardened, forming into a glare that looked more cute than menacing combined with her long black hair neatly framing her face. Veins appear around her eyes, she activates her Byakugan as she gets into a battle stand.

Exhaling and drawing air into his lungs, Kadoya also gets into a battle stand.

The two make the Seal of Reconciliation before rushing toward each other.

The two entered a simple Taijutsu match, Saiguu's fists moved toward Kadoya's vitals, but the Uchiha boy's body was much stronger, and his battle instinct from years of street fight horned his battle instinct to something that let him adapt to his opponent fighting style.

Street fights consisted of random and mixed battle styles, and to survive one must know how to quickly adapt and try to counter their opponents, otherwise you would most likely get beaten up.

Of course, this just counts for one-on-one battles, and for those who actually know how to fight. 

Kadoya smiles finding this Hyuga girl is really amazing, she is only a five-year-old and she already possesses such amazing skills. Her strike was fast and precise, gentle yet deadly, with each attack either aimed at one of his chakra points or vital.

"Stop messing around!" Saiguu shouted at him in frustration.

Seeing the smile on Kadoya Uchiha's face, Saiguu Hyuga felt even more irritated, seeing her opponent avoid and parry her Gentle Fist with almost practice ease.

And like adding salt to injury, he didn't even unlock his Sharingan yet, and he is already keeping up with her, surpassing her even.

Saiguu knew that if this kept on, she would be at a disadvantage. Her continuous attack is slowly catching up to her, making her exhausted, while her opponent doesn't seem to be exhausted one bit.

Saiguu's breath began to grow rapidly, and her earlier movement was getting sloppy, Kadoya decided it was enough, tormenting her emotionally this way has earn him a good amount of Evil Points already.

He swiftly moved behind her, and to everyone's surprise, Kadoya suddenly hugged her from behind, catching everyone off guard, even Ms. Mayabi and Saiguu herself.

He breathed into her ear, sending a shiver running up her spine and her face turning a shade of crimson.

Yet before anyone could react, Kadoya lifted Saiguu off her feet and suplex her.

Everyone: "..."

Saiguu lay on the ground, her head hurt, eyes spinning, seeing stars circling above her head.

Ding! + 6 Ninja Points + 101 Evil Points

Congratulations: Quest Completed: "Making The First Move"

Reward: + 1 System Point + 1000 Points

Kadoya smiled seeing his reward and the unconscious Hyuga, he didn't know what "Making The First Move" meant but he didn't care about it. The quest is complete, and he has earned his reward.

That's all that matters!

"That was fun, let's battle again some other day."

Kadoya made the Seal of Reconciliation, for the first time showing respect to another student, since the other all got sent to the infirmary with broken bones or bloody noses, he didn't even have a chance to perform the Seal of Reconciliation with them as they got send away in a crying mess.

...

After that school day, Kadoya went home and continued his day like normal before going to sleep, now lying on his futon and looking up at his system.

Kadoya couldn't help but smirk looking at his improvement.

"Now then, the moment of truth. Please give me something good!" He murmurs activating his Gacha Roll.

Congratulations! [New!] Black Wind Stockings

Kadoya: "..."

Kadoya just stared at the long black female stockings in his hand for nearly a minute.

The black stockings have the effect of increasing the wearer's Wind Attribute by 20%, but these are girl stockings!

Sexy black stockings!

The issue here is that he's a male, a five-year-old child!

And these are large female stockings!

"What am I supposed to do with this huh!?" He shouted to his system holding the black stockings in his hand while glaring at his system, frustrated that he was scammed.
