Sensing the approaching danger, Nan—no, the future Uchiha Nan—opened his eyes.
Looking at the hysterical Uchiha Ryuichi, a series of images flashed through his mind of him bullying the original owner of this body.
The past insults, verbal abuse, beatings, and theft of money felt as if they had happened to Uchiha Nan himself.
The resulting mental interference stimulated the spirit that Uchiha Nan had kept tightly wound during his time as a mercenary on the battlefield.
It made him forget that the person before him was just a 6-year-old child, treating him instead as an opponent he had to fight for his life against.
In the blink of an eye,
Uchiha Nan dragged his battered and bruised body, enduring the intense pain.
He stepped back to dodge the stabbing Kunai, flattened his palm to strike precisely at Uchiha Ryuichi’s wrist, and reached out with his other hand to snatch the Kunai.
Pain shot through Uchiha Ryuichi’s wrist, causing him to instinctively release his grip, and he could only watch helplessly as the Kunai changed hands in an instant.
Not giving him a chance to react, Uchiha Nan kicked off the ground, engaged his waist, and unleashed a whip kick.
Even though Uchiha Ryuichi had used his limited Chakra to protect his chest in advance,
He was still kicked to the ground.
Like a wild beast, Uchiha Nan pressed his advantage, pouncing on him with the Kunai held in a reverse grip.
He was about to finish off Uchiha Ryuichi completely, just as he would an enemy on the battlefield.
But at the critical moment, he angled the blade of the Kunai, slicing a wound along the side of Uchiha Ryuichi’s neck before plunging it into the dirt.
The other two guys were already scared witless; seeing the blood gush out, they turned around and fled the alley in terror.
They shouted as they ran: “Murder!
Uchiha Ryuichi is dead!”
Meanwhile, Uchiha Ryuichi, lying on the ground with his eyes closed, had fainted from fear.
The ground beneath his lower body was slightly damp, and a smell of urine wafted up.
Uchiha Nan stared calmly at Uchiha Ryuichi, who had wet himself in fear.
The residual consciousness of the body seemed to be telling him to kill the guy who had been bullying him all this time.
But Nan slowly stood up, suppressing that thought.
He was no longer on the battlefield; he was in Konoha Village.
If Uchiha Nan were to openly kill a fellow clansman, especially with witnesses present,
He would inevitably face the severest punishment, and he didn’t want to throw away his hard-won second life for a guy like this.
However, while the death penalty could be avoided, he wouldn’t let him off scot-free.
Uchiha Nan lifted his somewhat exhausted leg and stomped hard on Uchiha Ryuichi’s elbow joint, and, not satisfied, stomped on it a few more times.
“Ugh.” Uchiha Ryuichi, looking like a dead dog, shuddered once and then went still.
Only after ensuring that his arm was broken did Uchiha Nan relax; this would serve as the price for the bullying he had inflicted on the original owner.
“Host has obtained…”
Uchiha Nan frowned.
He felt a message appear in his consciousness, but he had no time to deal with it now and would have to check it later.
The urgent priority now was to think about what to do next.
Breaking Uchiha Ryuichi’s arm felt good for the moment.
But unlike Uchiha Nan, he wasn’t an orphan; he had a father who was a Jonin and a squad leader in the Uchiha Police Force.
Those two guys just now must have already sent word.
Upon hearing that his son was “dead,” he would likely come charging over in no time.
If his father arrived, he probably wouldn’t be very happy even if he saw his “resurrected” son in such a state.
In his rage, he might just use an excuse like “my son died” or “I was overcome with emotion” to kill Uchiha Nan on the spot.
After all, crushing Uchiha Nan to death would be no different from crushing an ant, and the clan wouldn’t really trade a Jonin’s life for his.
At most, he’d just be confined for a few years.
Combining the memories in his mind, Uchiha Nan considered his best escape plan.
Flee Konoha Village?
Even if he could escape the heavily guarded Konoha,
How would he survive?
Could a small, injured child with no talent as a Ninja survive in the cruel Ninja World?
Perhaps go find the Third Hokage?
No, this was an Uchiha Clan matter; even if he found him, he would just be pushed back to the clan.
He would still be severely punished then, perhaps even more so for seeking help from an outsider.
Besides, with his current injured body, how could he possibly reach the Hokage Building while being pursued by a Jonin?
He would likely be found before even leaving the Uchiha Clan Compound.
So, regarding the closest and safest place, Uchiha Nan could only think of one.
The home of the Uchiha Clan head.
It was located in the center of the Uchiha Clan, and Uchiha Nan had a very significant connection with that Clan Head, Uchiha Fugaku.
The important figure who adopted him back then was none other than Uchiha Fugaku.
Even if Uchiha Fugaku was disappointed in him, he wouldn’t let him be beaten to death on the spot, not to mention that Uchiha Mikoto, who was very kind to him, was there too.
Time had already passed; Uchiha Nan dragged his battered body along.
He set off towards his former home.
On the way, he finally had time to look at the information that had just flashed through his mind.
Upon looking, a crude interface appeared before his eyes.
combat system
Name: Uchiha Nan,
Age: 6 years old,
Talent: Ordinary person,
Chakra: Ordinary person,
Physical Strength: Frail ordinary person,
Mental Strength: Strong ordinary person / Genin
Evaluation: An ordinary person with slightly unremarkable mental strength.
After reviewing this page, Uchiha Nan discovered another tab below.
Battle Record: Defeated Uchiha Ryuichi, obtained Physical Energy (Ninja Academy level) pending absorption.
After reading it, Uchiha Nan also understood the origin of this combat system.
It was the standard cheat for transmigrators; its general function was that by defeating others, he could acquire one of their abilities.
Such as physical strength, Chakra, and so on; as for other, rarer things,
Whether he could obtain them would likely depend on Uchiha Nan exploring it himself later.
The items obtained were generally categorized into Ordinary Person level, Ninja Academy level, Genin, Chunin, Jonin, Kage, and Super-Kage.
As for whether there was anything above that, it was not something the current Uchiha Nan could guess.
Uchiha Ryuichi’s talent was actually quite good, as he could drop Ninja Academy-level physical attributes.
No wonder he acted like a bully among the younger generation.
This was likely related to him having a Jonin father who urged him to train enough.
After all, that wasn’t considered very strong; with reasonable training and proper nutrition, it could be achieved quite easily.
Uchiha Nan thought as he walked, not wasting half a minute.
When he was about to reach the Clan Head’s home, he clicked the acquire button.
