Staring at the three bodies on the ground, you don't feel even a trace of disgust after your first kill. On the contrary, a surge of excitement washes over you. Your Sharingan activates on its own, faint currents of heat flowing through your eyes. But it only lasts a moment before settling down again, showing no signs of evolving into the three tomoe. The entire process is brief.
Even in your excitement, you don't lose your composure. As the changes in your Sharingan fade, you hurry back across the river to meet up with the arriving Uchiha security squad.
With the help of Boss Black Cat and the ninja cat from whom you'd extracted the leftover Mangekyō chakra, you begin to share all the intel you've gathered.
[5:00 PM]
Thanks to the testimony from the ninja cats, your account is swiftly verified by the Uchiha elders. As the police force holds off the Root operatives, the clan sends negotiators into the Hokage building, temporarily defusing the situation.
In the midst of the crisis, no one notices that your height has increased by nearly half a meter after your Transformation Jutsu wears off. After all, your awakened Sharingan is far more attention-grabbing.
Without a doubt, another young genius has emerged in the Uchiha clan!
You and Boss Black Cat are brought before the Great Elder. Together, you reveal the truth about traveling through time to save the Uchiha clan, and you point directly to the true culprit—Fugaku's family, especially Uchiha Itachi. The wild cats and the residual chakra still left in some of the ninja cats serve as your evidence.
[6:00 PM]
The Great Elder doesn't truly believe anyone can travel through time. But even so, he still follows through on most of your recommendations.
You know very well that part of the reason is the support of the ninja cat clan and the residual chakra as physical evidence—but more importantly, it's the talent and strength you've shown!
The Uchiha clan reveres power above all else. The words of the weak are never taken seriously.
But the judgments of geniuses? Those are worth listening to.
You awakened your Sharingan at just three years old, earned the recognition of the proud ninja cats with a soul contract, and killed three Root operatives on your own. Even if it was a surprise attack, it's still an achievement worthy of being written into the Uchiha family chronicles.
Because of this, the Great Elder intentionally amplifies your influence within the clan. The Uchiha have a tradition: everything must give way to genius. It's a philosophy the clan lives and dies by.
[7:00 PM]
Because the barrier surrounding the Uchiha district was destroyed ahead of schedule, the Night of the Massacre never came to pass.
The police force patrols the clan grounds in full battle gear. Every clan member, both shinobi and civilian, is accounted for. The high-ranking elders, the heads of the side branches, and the older, retired ninja gather in the ancestral shrine with the most promising young ninja.
Compared to the Uchiha's main barrier, the shrine's protective seals have been strengthened through generations. Some of them even date back to the era of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. Combined with the vast number of Sharingan stored within, the shrine can absolutely stand its ground even against Kage-level opponents.
In terms of defense alone, the Uchiha are confident that if it comes down to it, they could turn this place into a graveyard—bleeding Konoha dry of its elites. With Izanagi, they could drag the Hokage, Danzo, and even traitorous clansmen down with them.
[8:00 PM]
After a complete population check, only Fugaku's family—Sasuke and Itachi—are missing. Every other clan member is somehow present within the district. For a group of ninja who often travel far on missions, this is highly unusual.
Clearly, the Konoha leadership manipulated the mission schedules in subtle ways, engineering a moment where all Uchiha would be gathered. The goal? A perfect ambush.
And the fact that no rumors leaked beforehand means there's definitely a traitor within the clan!
Why would the clan leader rebel?
Hearing Fugaku spout nonsense like, "It was all to preserve the hope of the Uchiha clan," you storm out and slap him across the face—twice.
Amid the shouts and curses of the clansmen, Fugaku and Mikoto have their chakra sealed and are confined deep within the ancestral shrine, guarded by the Third and Fourth Elders.
[9:00 PM]
You seek out the Great Elder and directly state your demands: you want to learn how to properly use the Sharingan, master its basic ocular techniques, and even dive into its forbidden arts!
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures—and you, the genius who just pulled the Uchiha clan back from the brink of destruction, have every reason to make these requests. The Great Elder doesn't hesitate. He gives you a quick rundown of the fundamental Sharingan abilities and then asks for your own understanding of the eye.
You tell him about how you used the Sharingan to control rats, earning his immediate praise. Without delay, he uses captured Root operatives to demonstrate the Uchiha clan's proud genjutsu techniques firsthand.
Seeing the Great Elder cast genjutsu directly on living people, tormenting their minds, you thought you might feel uncomfortable. But just like when you killed the three Root operatives earlier, there's not the slightest discomfort—only excitement.
After one of the captives is mentally broken, the elder hands him over to you. You use the most basic genjutsu to invade the man's mental world. With the power of your Sharingan backing you, not only are you able to hypnotize him—your mental strength proves formidable.
Recalling your experience removing the leftover Mangekyō chakra from the ninja cat, you attempt something new: shaping your spiritual energy into a blade and stabbing it directly into the man's consciousness.
The Root ninja screams, vomiting blood as life leaves his body. Meanwhile, your own spirit is drained, and you collapse into a chair.
[10:00 PM]
You name this original attack technique: "Soul Slash."
The Great Elder can't praise your innovation enough. The Uchiha have wielded genjutsu for generations, typically using ocular power to manipulate an opponent's actions and thus determine the outcome of a battle.
But your method takes it a step further—using the Sharingan to amplify your spirit, then projecting your will into the enemy's consciousness and launching a direct mental attack.
This technique resembles something more akin to the Yamanaka clan's style—but it's even more devastating.
Compared to traditional genjutsu, Soul Slash is vastly more lethal. However, it has drawbacks: the casting time is slow, and insufficient mental strength could cause backlash to the user.
The Great Elder points out both the strengths and the risks of your technique and encourages you to continue developing it on your own path.
To broaden your knowledge, sharpen your Sharingan, and ensure that your talent isn't wasted—to leave behind a seed for the Uchiha's future in this crisis—the Great Elder and several esteemed elders decide to train you personally in the illusionary world of genjutsu.
[11:00 PM]
Under the Great Elder's guidance, you meet a group of legendary clan elders. Though age has dulled their bodies, just sitting in their presence fills you with a suffocating pressure—this is the power of spirit and ocular might.
The elders join forces, casting a massive genjutsu. Your vision turns red as you're pulled into a mental world by an overwhelming force.
