"I reincarnated as Uchiha Sasuke?!"
"You have got to be kidding me!" Yuki stared at the mirror at a younger, round-cheeked version of Sasuke, which was now his own face, and gaped in shock.
But the sudden flood of extra memories in his head left no room for doubt. He could see, in first person, Sasuke practicing the Great Fireball Technique, flames roaring straight from his mouth.
"Sasuke, are you dressed? You are going to be late for school!" Uchiha Mikoto's voice came from outside the door. Yuki... no, he was Sasuke now. He hurriedly threw on the jacket by his side and ran out.
"Mom, let's go." To avoid exposing that he had taken over Sasuke's body, he had no choice but to call this unfamiliar woman in front of him mom.
He knew of Uchiha Mikoto. She appeared many times in the original story and was the beloved wife in countless fanfics.
But he had never actually lived with her. Even with Sasuke's memories, the habits of his previous life could betray him at any moment.
If Mikoto noticed, it would probably be fine. As a mother, she doted on Sasuke and would not pry. If Itachi noticed, that would be another matter. That guy would pick up on it for sure, given how intensely he doted on his little brother.
"Ding! The Multiverse Chat Group invites you to join. Do you accept?"
"A chat group?!" As a veteran bookworm who had devoured thousands of fanfics on Feilu, Sasuke knew exactly what this was.
"Accept!" Of course it was his cheat.
"Confirm member identity: Uchiha Sasuke?"
"Huh? What does that mean? Can I change my name?" Sasuke muttered in surprise.
"I should pick something that sounds cool... no, if it is too over the top, it will not fit Uchiha Sasuke's persona. At this age, he cares about two things at most: his brother and power." Sasuke rubbed his chin. He was not a brother-chaser, so no need to involve Itachi. Which meant...
"Ding! I Will Become the Strongest has joined the chat."
Humble Admin: Welcome, newcomer!!
Sniper King: Welcome, newcomer!!
Agatsuma Zenitsu: Welcome, newcomer!!
Lady Night Baron: Welcome, newcomer!!
Sasuke chose a name that would not expose his identity or raise suspicion.
From his previous life's experience, when a chat group already had an admin, it meant you were being invited in rather than obtaining the group yourself.
Most admins came from his old world, knew a bunch of anime plots, and used that knowledge to coax items out of members from other worlds.
"There are only four people here for now." Sasuke took note.
Humble Admin revealed nothing. Even the gender was impossible to tell.
Sniper King made him pause. Any world with guns could have someone called Sniper King.
As for Agatsuma Zenitsu, that was obvious, the yellow-haired cowardly swordsman from Demon Slayer.
He probably had not changed his name, or he did not know how, or he simply did not notice, so the default stuck.
The last one, Lady Night Baron, left Sasuke baffled. The name did not sound Chinese or Japanese in style. It felt Western.
He rarely watched Western shows, so he could not place it.
After sizing up the members, Sasuke checked the group's other features. The knowledge of these functions had been injected into his mind the moment he joined.
"Daily sign-in... figured as much. You use the points from sign-ins to redeem stuff. Points shop, let me see..." He opened the shop.
Agatsuma Zenitsu uploaded Thunder Breathing, price - 500 points.
Agatsuma Zenitsu uploaded Thunderclap and Flash, price - 300 points.
Sniper King uploaded Precision Shooting, price - 300 points.
Lady Night Baron uploaded Superb Acting, price - 10 points.
Lady Night Baron uploaded Disguise, price - 30 points.
...
He scrolled. The shop was almost entirely abilities from characters he recognized. From the uploads, he could more or less guess who Sniper King and Lady Night Baron were.
Everything in the shop had been uploaded by group members. He did not know if there were rewards for uploading, but without exception, everyone had contributed some abilities.
Precision Shooting and those odd ammunition recipes near the bottom labeled things like Fire Star made it click. Sniper King should be Usopp from One Piece.
Usopp was timid but gifted at shooting. He never missed with the ship's cannon.
Lady Night Baron's uploads were Disguise and Superb Acting, classic performer talents. With both acting and disguise, Sasuke could already guess, Kudo Yukiko, the mother of the Reaper-grade elementary school student.
Sharon Vineyard had those two skills as well, but as a member of the Black Organization she would never pick such a name. If anything, she would use her liquor codename, Vermouth.
"Next is the admin." Sasuke narrowed his eyes, then sent his first message in the group.
I Will Become the Strongest: ???
Humble Admin: Oh!! The newbie finally speaks!
Agatsuma Zenitsu: Your goal is to become the strongest?! I am so jealous. I cannot even stick to training seriously...
Lady Night Baron: Zenitsu-kun, do your best!
I Will Become the Strongest: Damn it! Is this genjutsu? Why can't I dispel it?!
Humble Admin: Genjutsu! Are you a ninja?!
