Naruto: Evolving the Sharingan, Starting with Traits

I was reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha's older brother, a year older than Itachi.

I started with a single-tomoe Sharingan, and my talent was crushed by Itachi's.

But it didn't matter. I had a Trait System: faster Fire Release training, increased Lightning Release power, bonuses to Anbu stealth... Every trait helped me keep an even lower profile.

I knew the Uchiha Clan Massacre was coming. I knew every card the Akatsuki held. I knew every twist in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

But I wasn't saying a word.

Danzo sent people to kill me? The Third Hokage questioned the Root? The Uchiha plotted a coup? Itachi agonized over what to do on the eve of the massacre?

None of it was my problem.

My principles were simple: in the world of the Hokage, survive first, get stronger next, and finally... make everyone who thinks I'm just an ordinary Uchiha watch me show off on their knees.

On the night of the massacre, I watched coldly from the sidelines. During the Shinobi World War, I placed my bets with precision. By the time the Otsutsuki arrived, I had maxed out my traits.

When the Sage of Six Paths asked me, “Why won't you save the world?” I smiled.

“Save the world? That'll cost extra.”
