Target Set: Root Ninja–"Yama"
You learned from past failures and decided to prepare thoroughly this time.
In your room, you evenly glued explosive tags to a suitcase, turning it into a massive bomb. After packing everything into a large basket, you grabbed a bag of bread from the kitchen and snatched a box of matches. You left a note on the table for Granny Yukina, explaining you were heading out early for some morning training.
You arrived at the riverbank. Digging into the dirt with a shovel from your basket, you scooped up a chunk of clay and rushed off to a deserted training ground.
Repeating your previous tactic, you spread the clay evenly over the surface of the suitcase. Then, you crushed match heads and mixed them into the clay, coating your shuriken and kunai with a flammable, explosive layer.
Since this training field was isolated and rarely used, you laid everything out and left them to dry under the morning sun.
Using the notes you'd copied from a ninjutsu scroll, you began practicing the Three Basic Techniques.
Of the three, the Substitution Technique required the most chakra control. By carving single-use basic runes into stand-ins like rocks or logs, you could create a pull of opposing force, enabling quick swaps. The complexity made it more challenging than Clone or Transformation Techniques, and thus more valuable for chakra training. You focused on mastering this one first.
Thanks to the boost from awakening the two-tomoe Sharingan, you quickly mastered Clone and Transformation Techniques. You also became proficient at walking on water and climbing trees with your feet.
With your Sharingan evolved to two tomoe, your talent surged across the board. You became adept at sprinting across water and hanging upside down from branches using chakra alone. Your chakra control had improved significantly.
With that improvement, you continued honing your Substitution Technique. Under the guidance of your Sharingan, you practically mastered it in record time.
Based on your estimates of your own Speed and the swap timing, you probably couldn't fool a Chunin or Jonin in real combat—but a Genin? You had a fair shot.
Substitution also had another benefit: when combined with throwing techniques, it could boost your Speed in battle.
By now, the clay on the shuriken and suitcase had fully dried.
With the help of your Sharingan, you quickly picked up the Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu—standard for any Uchiha.
You engraved a basic Substitution rune onto the suitcase. At the same time, you exhausted the last of your chakra.
Wiping sweat from your brow, you slung the basket onto your back and headed toward the food street within the Uchiha compound. A good meal before a fight was essential to bring out your full strength.
After finishing lunch, you unfortunately ran into that clueless idiot, Kazuki.
He demanded to inspect your basket. You had zero patience for him, so you gave him a solid beating and walked off without another word.
You returned to the riverbank and started fishing.

Right on time, three Root ninjas arrived.
You deliberately acted childish and immature, letting them grow accustomed to your presence. Thanks to your young-looking body, no matter how out of line you acted, they only responded with scolding and threats.
You were sure now—they'd fully adapted to your presence.
Hiding behind a tree, you began refining chakra. With your Sharingan at the two-tomoe stage, your natural talent had grown. It didn't take long to gather enough chakra to cast the Fireball Jutsu five or six times.
Just as they finished carving runes into the ground, you grabbed the suitcase and charged toward the one on the flank.
The three Root operatives immediately hurled various ninja tools at you, but perhaps out of concern for being spotted by other Uchiha, they refrained from using ninjutsu.
You didn't block with shuriken. Instead, you hurled the suitcase at the side target, then suddenly shifted course and charged barehanded at the one in the center—codename "Yama."
You expertly dodged a flurry of shuriken and kunai. As Yama tried to capture you with a sweeping kick, you activated the Substitution Technique. Triggered by the rune on the suitcase, you and it instantly swapped places midair!
The Root ninjas, now realizing they'd been played, tried to shift tactics.
But before they could react, you unleashed a flurry of specially treated shuriken and kunai.
Most of them were intercepted with counter throws—but thanks to your finely honed Uchiha throwing skills, one kunai ricocheted off a shuriken, altering its path and striking the suitcase.
The metal-on-metal clash produced a tiny spark—just enough to ignite the red phosphorus coating. The resulting flame triggered the explosive tags wrapped around the suitcase.
In the next instant, a violent explosion rocked the most remote part of the Uchiha compound, sending thick smoke billowing into the sky.
You were caught in the blast and lost consciousness instantly...
You awoke to violent shaking and the sound of ragged breathing.
The explosion you'd caused outside the Uchiha compound had blown a hole in the still-unfinished barrier. The noise drew in a large group of Uchiha, who clashed violently with the Root operatives.
Though they ultimately broke up the Root's operation and escaped, the incident branded the Uchiha as traitors. Konoha mobilized its elite forces to hunt them down.
You were being carried in the arms of Uchiha Tekka, fleeing alongside the elder and the rest of the survivors.
Burdened by injured comrades and children, your group was quickly overtaken by Konoha pursuers.
The elder led a team of Jonin to hold them off and buy time.
In the brutal clash that followed, the enemy was wiped out—but the elder suffered fatal wounds and several Jonin died on the spot.
Fortunately, many of the surviving Uchiha were Chunin or Genin. Some of them awakened new tomoe in the heat of battle—many reaching the second or even third tomoe. Their sorrow ignited their Sharingan evolution.
You were affected too, overwhelmed by the grief in the air.
Still, you noticed something important: despite so many awakening new powers, not a single one awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. It seemed the Mangekyō required exceptional talent beyond even the Uchiha norm.
With so many injured and children in tow, the group had to stop to rest and heal.
However, Uchiha who could use Yang Release chakra were incredibly rare. In your memory, only Uchiha Izumi—the first person you met—and the nurse from the elder's household could perform medical ninjutsu.
Your own burns from the earlier blast covered much of your body. Though your bones were unharmed, every movement sent waves of pain through your body.
A group of bounty hunters somehow tracked you down.
Without hesitation, all the wounded ninjas stepped forward, determined to buy time with their lives so the rest could escape.
