CHAPTER 1: Awakening

Alex groaned as he regained consciousness, his body aching all over. The metallic scent of blood filled his nostrils, and he felt a sticky wetness beneath him. As his vision cleared, he realized he was lying in a pool of blood. Panic surged through him. What was happening? Where was he?

Suddenly, a torrent of unfamiliar memories flooded his mind, causing him to clutch his head in agony. He saw glimpses of a life he hadn't lived: training as a ninja, honing his skills, and being part of the Uchiha clan. The memories were vivid and real, and as they settled, Alex understood the horrifying truth: he had been transmigrated into the world of Naruto.

"This world... it's a dog-eat-dog world," he muttered to himself, fear and confusion swirling in his mind. "How am I supposed to survive here?"

Before he could fully process his situation, a strange, translucent screen appeared before his eyes, floating in mid-air. Alex blinked in surprise, trying to comprehend what he was seeing.

"Sign-in System Activated," the screen read. "Sign in to receive your reward."

A mix of shock and excitement coursed through him. If this was a cheat-like system, it could be his ticket to survival in this dangerous world. He took a deep breath, deciding to go along with it.

"Sign in," he said, his voice trembling with anticipation.

"Sign-in complete. Reward: Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

A sudden surge of energy coursed through his body, centered on his eyes. He felt a burning sensation, and his vision sharpened dramatically. The dormant Sharingan in his eyes activated, transforming into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. He could see everything with incredible clarity, and an array of new abilities became apparent to him. Feeling brim with more power, he realizes that his chakra which was bordering between pseudo-jonin from his current memories now mid jonin chakra which shocks him more.

"Why did I get the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?" he wondered aloud, astonished by the sheer power he now possessed. As he contemplated this, he remembered his new name: Hiro Uchiha. The realization hit him hard. He was part of the Uchiha clan, destined to face the massacre orchestrated by Itachi Uchiha.

"I need to prevent the massacre," he thought, determination replacing his initial fear. "But why am I here, at the Kanabi Bridge?"

He recognized the location from the anime. This was where Madara Uchiha had once hidden, a place steeped in history and significance. But how had he ended up here, and what had happened before he lost consciousness?

Before he could delve deeper into his thoughts, he heard footsteps approaching. Hiro quickly stood up, wiping as much blood off his clothes as he could. He needed to find out what was going on, but he also had to be careful. Trust was a rare commodity in this world.

Emerging from the forest, Hiro saw a group of shinobi approaching. His heart skipped a beat as he recognized Shisui Uchiha, accompanied by his teammates. Relief and apprehension washed over him.

"Hiro!" Shisui exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise and filled with cautious. "We thought you were kidnapped by the village hidden in the Sand. How did you escape?"

Hiro's mind raced because he knows if he didn't come up with a good reason they might capture him and use the mind reading technique on him, thinking about it just gives him the chills, he thought. He needed to come up with a plausible story quickly. "I managed to escape by feigning death and because I was bleeding a lot the enemy shinobis left me because they thought I was extra weight" he said, trying to sound convincing. "I have important information that needs to be reported to Hokage."

Shisui and his teammates exchanged glances, clearly shocked but relieved to see Hiro alive. "We need to get you back to the village you don't look too well," Shisui said, his tone urgent. "Let's go."

As they made their way back to Konoha, Hiro couldn't help but feel a mix of anxiety and determination. He had a lot to figure out, and fast. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan had granted him incredible power, but with it came immense responsibility. He needed to understand his new abilities and find a way to use them to protect the Uchiha clan from their impending doom.

Upon reaching the village, they were immediately surrounded by curious and concerned villagers. Hiro was then sent to Kohona hospital for a checkup. It was discovered that he wasn't suffering from any heavy injuries which was attributed to his strong body because he was a special Uchiha who likes to practice taijutsu a lot. News of Hiro's return spread quickly, and it wasn't long before they were escorted to the Hokage's office. The weight of the situation pressed down on Hiro as they approached the building. He needed to be careful with his words and actions if he was to gain the Hokage's trust and prevent the massacre.

As they entered the Hokage's building, Hiro took a deep breath, steeling himself for the encounter. He had to convince the Hokage of the danger the Uchiha clan was in and find a way to avert the impending crisis. But as the door to the Hokage's office loomed before him, he couldn't shake the feeling that this was just the beginning of a much larger journey.

The door creaked open, and Hiro stepped inside, his heart pounding with anticipation. The Hokage's stern gaze met his, and for a moment, the weight of the world seemed to rest on Hiro's shoulders, as the power of a peak kage surges towards him.
