**Chapter 2: Newbie Gift Pack**

 "Open the gift pack!"  

 Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly. This was his first time crossing over to another world. Even though he hadn’t experienced it personally before, he had read about it countless times in novels. As an avid reader, he had devoured numerous stories about isekai.   

Before crossing over...   

His favorite pastime had been reading novels on the Webnovel app. The authors there were incredibly diligent, and the readers were super supportive. Every session of reading felt like a fantastic escape.  

 Based on his extensive knowledge of web novels, the initial gift pack in such scenarios was always extraordinary. Whether he could act cool and powerful in the future depended entirely on what this gift pack offered.  

 Suddenly...  

 As if responding to his thoughts, the red gift box opened, transforming into streams of light that seeped into his body. Afterward, the system package became empty.   

"Ding dong!"   

"Newbie gift pack activation successful!"   

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following rewards:  

 1. Original Bloodline Limit Compensation: Sharingan (Double Tomoe)!  
2. Basic Ninjutsu Gift Pack!  
3. Random Attribute Enhancement (D-rank)!  
4. Ninja World Universal Currency (10,000 Ryo)!  
5. Ninja World Universal Language and Literacy Ability!  
6. One-Year Future Event Guide!"  

 "Ding dong!"  

 With the final notification, the mysterious "Ding Dong" disappeared.  

 "So this is the newbie gift pack?"  

 Sasuke glanced at the six items in his system package grid. Each one had a unique icon.   

The first was a blood-red eye with two pitch-black tomoe.  

 **Double Tomoe Sharingan!**  

 "This is a good start!"  

 Sasuke's eyes lit up. The system had erased his original abilities, including his bloodline limit, leaving him as a blank slate.  

 Of course...  

 This wasn’t just the loss of his bloodline limit; even his chakra as Indra’s reincarnation had been stripped away. The current Sasuke no longer possessed Indra’s uniqueness, nor would he be influenced by Indra’s will.  

 Clicking on the Sharingan icon, a description immediately appeared:  

 > **Sharingan (Double Tomoe):** The bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, granting the Eye of Insight (able to see chakra pathways, see through an opponent’s movements and hand seals) and the Eye of Hypnotism (visual genjutsu to control opponents). The Sharingan has three levels: single tomoe, double tomoe, and triple tomoe, with higher tomoe indicating greater ability!  

 > **Use now?**  
> **Yes** | **No**  

 Without hesitation, Sasuke selected **Yes**. As a proud member of the Uchiha clan, not having the Sharingan would be an embarrassment.  

 **Buzz buzz...**  

 The moment he confirmed, his eyes grew hot. A sharp pain spread to his brain but disappeared almost instantly.  

 "It stings!"  

 Sasuke rubbed his temples. The discomfort was brief, leaving no lingering effects.  

 "The original Sasuke awakened his single tomoe Sharingan during the Uchiha massacre. Now, I've got the double tomoe right after crossing over. Talk about a game-changer!"  

 A slight smirk crossed his lips. His pitch-black eyes suddenly turned blood-red, glowing with a mysterious, eerie light.  

 However, the double tomoe Sharingan placed a considerable strain on his body. An overwhelming fatigue washed over him, and his eyes reverted to their original black.  

 "This Sharingan really consumes chakra."  

 He could clearly feel the drain on his body’s energy—the unique chakra of the ninja world.  

 "Still, regaining the Sharingan, and an upgraded version at that, is a win no matter how you look at it."  

 Sasuke glanced at the first item in his system package. With the Sharingan equipped, the remaining items shifted forward.  

 The next item was a scroll.  

 Click.   

> **Basic Ninjutsu Gift Pack:** Includes Transformation Technique, Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, Escape Technique, and Body Flicker Technique. After use, you will master them perfectly!  

 > **Use now?**  
> **Yes** | **No**  

 Sasuke clicked **Yes** again. These basic ninjutsu were essential for survival and the Ninja Academy exams.  

 "Imagine me failing an Academy exam... Even I can’t picture that!"  

 **Buzz!**  

 A warm current surged through his body as the techniques imprinted themselves in his mind, ready for immediate use.  

 The next item resembled a transparent bubble.  

 Click.  

 > **Random Attribute Enhancement (D-rank):** Randomly enhances one E-rank attribute to D-rank.  

 > **Use now?**  
> **Yes** | **No**  

 "Let’s leave it to fate."  

 Sasuke selected **Yes** without overthinking. The bubble expanded, and a hexagonal attribute panel appeared in his mind.  

 **Beep beep beep...**  

 The six attributes lit up one by one before stopping on **Strength**.  

 Ding!  

 His **Strength** attribute rose from E to D, expanding the shaded area on the panel. Sasuke’s muscles subtly tensed, and his physical fitness improved.  

 "This is progress!"  

 He returned to the package. The next item was a banknote.  

 Click.  

 > **Ninja World Universal Currency (10,000 Ryo):** Gain 10,000 Ryo, the common currency of the ninja world.  

 > **Use now?**  
> **Yes** | **No**  

 Without hesitation, he selected **Yes**. A crisp banknote appeared in his hand.  

 "Finally, some spending money!"  

 The next icon was a stack of books labeled **Standard Japanese.**  

 Click.  

 > **Ninja World Universal Language and Literacy Ability:** Gain native-level Japanese language and literacy skills.  

 > **Use now?**  
> **Yes** | **No**  

 Sasuke eagerly clicked **Yes**, instantly gaining perfect fluency.  

 "Communication is key. Can't look cool if no one understands me!"  

 Only one item remained: **The One-Year Future Event Guide.**  

 Sasuke’s expression turned serious. Although he already knew most of the Naruto storyline, he couldn’t overlook the importance of this guide.  

 "Let’s see what secrets it holds..."
