**Chapter 2: The First Draw, Did I Become an Unofficial Uchiha Member?**
At this moment, in Hatake Kakashi's perception, although ninja possessing a Kekkei Genkai were undoubtedly much more powerful than ordinary ninja, it hadn't reached the point where ordinary ninja were completely unmatched.
For instance, the Third Hokage, known as the strongest Hokage, had awed the Ninja World without a Kekkei Genkai. His own teacher, the Fourth Hokage, came from a civilian background yet carved out the title of Konoha's Yellow Flash.
Among the Hokage, only the First Hokage possessed the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. Even the Second Hokage, who was also from the Senju clan, did not have a Kekkei Genkai, yet he also became a powerhouse who awed the Ninja World.
So fundamentally, Hatake Kakashi did not believe that a ninja must have a Kekkei Genkai to succeed.
Meanwhile, inside a residential house in Konoha Village.
A young man, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a standard Konoha Chunin flak jacket, with short hair and handsome features, wore a look of pleasant surprise on his face.
He had just finished writing the tenth diary entry. It was time for the draw.
Yes, he was Reo, a modern soul who had come from Earth.
He woke up to find himself as a very ordinary Genin in this extremely dangerous world.
How ordinary? Ordinary enough to have absolutely no Kekkei Genkai. Even the Kitahara family itself wasn't a large clan with a deep heritage like the Sarutobi clan, despite lacking a Kekkei Genkai.
His parents were just ordinary people. His father was a common Chunin who had died on a mission a few years ago, leaving only him and his mother, Yoshiko, to depend on each other.
In terms of talent, he was only slightly stronger than the average person. So he was able to enter the Academy, and three years after graduation, he logically became a Chunin—a very ordinary Chunin.
Because he had no Kekkei Genkai and no special talent to speak of, Reo's previous plan was not to stand out. Based on the major events of the Ninja World he knew, he would try to avoid certain things and strive to live a few more years.
It wasn't that he didn't have lofty aspirations, but in such a ninja world, this was the cruel reality.
Even if you had a Kekkei Genkai, so what? You still had to be the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' son, otherwise, you'd end up like Hyuga Neji.
The savior's son is the savior; the scapegoat's son is still the scapegoat.
But all of this changed ten days ago. He obtained a Diary System. As long as he wrote a diary entry every day for ten consecutive days, he could draw a prize once.
Today was his first draw, so he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He knew very well that if he had any chance to change this destined future, it could only be through this Diary System.
"Draw!"
Reo chanted silently in his heart. Soon, a semi-transparent roulette wheel that only he could see appeared in front of him. Reo's eyes widened at the rewards listed on it.
Wood Release, Byakugan, Sharingan, Sealing Jutsu, Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu—many resources that were rare in the Ninja World appeared on the roulette panel.
As the needle spun, hopes flashed through Reo's mind one by one. Finally, the needle stopped.
"Uchiha Clan Standard Bloodline!"
Reo was stunned for a moment. It wasn't the Sharingan, but the standard bloodline of the Uchiha clan?
What did this count as?
He thought about it and quickly formed a guess. Perhaps according to the classification standards of this Diary System, the Uchiha clan's bloodline was one thing, and the Sharingan was another.
After all, one can possess a Sharingan without having the Uchiha clan's bloodline—for example, Hatake Kakashi.
But the price for doing so is the inability to normally deactivate the Sharingan. Kakashi's chakra reserves also became a point of ridicule for many, to the extent that his chakra amount became a unit of measurement: the so-called "One Kakashi."
Many people even thought he had very low mana (chakra). However, in reality, although Hatake Kakashi's chakra wasn't exceptionally high, it was definitely not as low as it appeared.
The reason it seemed that way was because an uncloseable Sharingan constantly drained the chakra in his body, forcing him to become an assassin-type ninja.
Although being an assassin-type ninja isn't a mistake in the ninja profession, that was only the case in the early stages of Naruto. By the later stages, fragile assassins were just cannon fodder.
Those ninja all seemed to turn into physical powerhouses, each possessing a more ridiculous physique than the last.
But if one had the standard Uchiha clan bloodline, it would be different. In other words, Reo might have now become an unofficial remnant of the Uchiha clan at the genetic level.
Theoretically speaking, he could even awaken his own Sharingan.
He felt the chakra in his body increasing at a speed he could clearly perceive.
In a short amount of time, his chakra had more than doubled.
It could be said that since Reo started training, he had never felt such abundant chakra reserves.
But thinking about it, it made sense. The Uchiha clan were, after all, descendants of the Sage of Six Paths. Although they couldn't compare to the Senju clan who inherited the Sage's Body, that was only in comparison to the Senju.
Compared to other ninja clans, their chakra reserves were still very abundant. Otherwise, Uchiha Madara wouldn't have been able to fight Senju Hashirama for so long.
Not to mention, Reo previously had only the bloodline of an ordinary person; he couldn't even be considered part of a ninja clan.
By the time night fell, Reo had mostly integrated this standard Uchiha clan bloodline. His total chakra amount had increased more than ten times from its original base. He was no longer inferior to an average Jonin, directly breaking the upper limit Reo originally couldn't reach.
Moreover, at his current age, he could be said to have just entered a period of rapid strength development. His future chakra amount would increase even further. The potential of this standard Uchiha bloodline was far from being fully developed.
Most importantly, the quality of this chakra had improved by an unknown amount compared to before.
It could be said that there were earth-shaking changes in both quality and quantity. Using the same Ninjutsu, the power would increase by at least one level.
He could even feel that his talent had improved. He could clearly perceive an increase in his memory and comprehension capabilities. Reo, who could originally only be considered an ordinary person, could now be called a genius within a small scope.
How small was the scope? Currently, only he knew about it!
Immediately, Reo performed a few moves to thoroughly test the improvement of his various strengths. Originally, he had barely reached the borderline of a Chunin. Now, he was absolutely comparable to a Special Jonin, the kind who wouldn't be afraid even when facing an ordinary Jonin.
Reo felt that the terrifying pressure that had weighed on his heart for years was finally fundamentally relieved.
Even in such a dangerous world, he now had the chance to break free from the status of cannon fodder and stand at the peak of the Ninja World.
