Chapter 1: Uchiha Clan Meeting.

Year 37 of Konohagakure, early autumn.

Naka Shrine.

The current clan leader Uchiha Setsuna sat solemnly at the central seat of honor, his eagle-like eyes surveying the clan members present.

Today, all the Uchiha attending had sharingan with tomoe in their eyes.

It seemed that the elite of the Uchiha clan were all present.

"Please step forward, Hanma," Uchiha Setsuna said in a deep voice.

From the front row, a young man with a powerful build slowly stood up and walked to the center.

His physique was immensely robust, with limbs of startling width that still did not seem slack or bulky.

Standing at two meters tall, he naturally exuded a strong sense of oppression.

However, his face was not fierce; it could even be described as a mix of handsomeness and ruggedness. Draped in a loose haori, he had a stylish rope casually tied around his waist.

If judged by attire alone, he had the refined demeanor of a nobleman.

Standing in the center, the young man casually nodded, signaling to Setsuna, and scanned all the clan members present...

Among them, even some with three-tomoe sharingan felt as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer when they met his gaze, inwardly exclaiming:

"No doubt, he is the man known as the perfect weapon—Uchiha Hanma!"

At a glance, Hanma's muscular body seemed like it was cast in iron and bronze, reflecting a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

The power contained within seemed almost tangible, exuding an intensely dangerous aura.

From his physical build alone, it was evident that Hanma's mastery of taijutsu was beyond ordinary understanding.

Uchiha Setsuna looked at him, a slight expression of helplessness and sighing appeared on his face, as he slowly said:

"Congratulations, Hanma, for breaking the rules that have been in place in Konoha for thirty years and becoming a jounin purely through taijutsu."

"The clan is thrilled with your progress, but we still hope that you can focus on developing your sharingan to set an excellent example for the younger generation..."

"After all, the sharingan, which represents our bloodline, is the foundation of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Setsuna's three tomoe slowly rotated as he made eye contact with Hanma.

Yet the young man in front of him remained calm, ignoring the power of his eyes.

"As expected, Hanma, have you already walked your own path...?" Uchiha Setsuna sighed inwardly.

Among the Uchiha clan, which prides itself on dojutsu, Hanma's immersion in taijutsu was initially seen by many clan members as a challenge to their bloodline.

But as Hanma's strength continued to climb, even some seasoned three-tomoe members were embarrassingly defeated in sparring with him. The younger generation's perception of him began to change.

Taijutsu, it seems, isn't a bad choice either?

Ultimately, the Uchiha clan respects strength.

Even as the clan leader, Setsuna couldn't correct a clan member who could ignore his sharingan.

Hanma, with his arms folded, stared directly at Uchiha Setsuna's sharingan, calmly stating:

"This jounin rank isn't that important to me. After all, if I stop listening to the Hokage's office one day, it might just mean suspension for me."

"Alright! Enough talk!" Uchiha Setsuna interrupted Hanma helplessly.

This guy really respects no one, not even the clan leader.

This unusual anomaly in the clan, not only was he extremely powerful, but also the son of the famous Uchiha Kagami, so neither the clan nor the Hokage's faction had any means to deal with him.

Even Shimura Danzo suffered grievances because of him.

Thinking of this, Setsuna's face unconsciously showed a smile, his mood brightened as he loudly said:

"Anyway, congratulations to Hanma on his promotion to jounin!"

"Congratulations, Hanma senpai!"

The Uchiha members enthusiastically congratulated Hanma, and some younger clan members clapped so hard their palms turned red yet they did not want to stop.

However.

Just sitting quietly.

Hanma's faintly bloodthirsty and violent aura made the surrounding Uchiha feel uncomfortable.

Some physically weaker clan members even had to secretly run chakra to barely resist, trying not to lose composure in this serious setting.

A young man of about eighteen, with two tear-grooves on his face, withstood the pressure and approached Hanma, familiarly striking up a conversation:

"Hanma-nii, I've always supported you. The sharingan is nothing compared to the power of your fists, right?"

This young man was none other than the future "Demon Eyes" Uchiha Fugaku.

Also the loving father of Itachi and Sasuke.

Since arriving in this world, Hanma had trained his taijutsu like a monk, making his nerves extremely taut.

To relieve the stress, he enjoyed visiting unique izakayas and chatting with elders and peers.

As an Uchiha, in various age groups in Konoha, due to his humorous speaking style, he unexpectedly had some popularity.

For example, Fugaku often sought Hanma's advice on taijutsu training.

Hanma amusedly flicked Fugaku's forehead, saying:

"You kid, almost twenty and still only a two-tomoe sharingan, isn't that shameful?"

"Ah, not everyone can be like you, so powerful without even activating the sharingan!"

Fugaku pouted, looking helpless.

Hanma shook his head, no longer bantering with him, and closed his eyes in deep thought, with a few bold and forceful words flashing in his mind.

In Hanma's taijutsu training, he could gain entries similar to achievements, granting him special abilities.

Each of these entries had extremely dominant effects, forming the foundation of Hanma's unique taijutsu system.

As Hanma continued to grow, such as gaining insights from training or absorbing enough energy, the entries would have opportunities to evolve.

And if he could sacrifice material containing related extraordinary attributes during the entry's evolution, the evolving effect would be more potent, granting stronger entry effects.

Since transmigrating for twenty-three years, Hanma had struggled and fought countless battles in the shinobi world, reaping considerable rewards, and had acquired six core entries:

Unyielding Spirit: Your mind and body are intimately linked and indivisible. Effects of genjutsu require first shaking your body to affect your mind or soul.

(Note 1: There is a conversion limit)

Earthly Furnace: Though a shinobi, chakra is not your foundation. You can absorb this energy to stabilize and strengthen your body.

Strong Taijutsu Practitioner: You have comprehended various taijutsu styles, gradually perfecting them. Your martial skills are exquisite, and your manipulation of power is exceptional.

Savage Growth: Your body's immunity and self-healing ability are greatly enhanced, gaining minor damage resistance after each healing.

(Note 1: There is a growth limit)

Savage Domain: Through countless battles, your aura is dangerous and filled with malice, causing unease and loss of fighting spirit in creatures near you.

Steel Body: Your bone and muscle density have surpassed the human range, rendering steel objects meaningless before you.

These entries are the results of Hanma's hard-fought battles over twenty-three years.

Every time he looked at these hard-earned results, Hanma felt a solid sense of security.

Today was an extraordinary day!

After years of rigorous training, an entry was finally about to transform and evolve, giving Hanma a significant boost.

Ignoring the surrounding clan members' chatter, mostly about the Hokage's complex issues.

These trivial matters had not been resolved even after thirty-odd years since the village's founding.

Hanma assumed a meditation posture, his aura becoming more intense, focusing his mind on the taijutsu entries.

The black color of "Savage Domain" was peeling away, its font trembling constantly, gradually revealing an alluring and dangerous red!
