It was a beautiful day. Peaceful and quiet. Just another day when your clan is planning on launching a coup against the village which won't end well.
But that's none of my problem, Hopefully I'm just a random mob of the Uchiha.....wait! I'm an Uchiha, so automatically Itachi will rub me with his hate boner which I definitely want to avoid!
Nevertheless, I don't have any op powers or cheats to save myself. My sharingan isn't even three tomoe so no chance of awakening mangekyou unless I join Itachis crusade, which I am not stupid enough to do. So I can only go for the next option, run away before it happens!
Then a sudden wave of memories hit me. When I found my identity, I wanted to flip the damn bed! My name is Uchiha Shin, the son of deceased Uchiha Meiko. My father was actually a civilian ninja which didn't go well with the arrogant fella's.
They isolated her to the corner of the clan. But after I was born and awakened the sharingan, the clan took us back . Although we never really got close to them after that.
Shortly after, my mother passed away and I apparently decided to slack off and started my journey to becoming a man of culture.
Not the dirty kind, I was more like the handsome flirt. This gained me some friends and lots of female admirers at the cost of pissing off the clan elders.
Throughout my life, only a few people actually cared from me . Anybody other than that can think whatever they want about me. My aunt Shina and my cousins Inami and Izumi took care of me the most. I also had a good friend named Kyoki Uchiha and his sister Hinami was like a little sister I never had. These few people must be saved if possible.
Pro- I'm safe for today, nobody will be killing me and using my eyes as battery until tomorrow.
Con - everyone of my clan will be dead.
Pro- I am a reincarnated dude, so plot armor kun will probably help me,right? .... right?
Con - The mental trauma from massacre, survivors guilt, Danzo and Pedomaru targeting my body, and serving the village that kills my clan if I survive.
When everyone thinks isekai experience can be fun and all, it really is not unless you are really strong. I have never been an ambitious person, nor do I wanted the power to rule. All I wanted was to live a peaceful life and raise a family.
Both of lives, I never got the opportunity to do so. Although I'm only 18 years now, if things don't change, I'll be in a shitstorm from tomorrow. I know a few people but they won't be probably be able to help everyone.
I get that the Uchiha planned a civil war, but killing even these kind and gentle people like aunt Shina and little Hina is definitely not right. Not to mention the other children.
And dumb Itachi never even thought he was just being used by the hokage to kill them. It really pisses me off. There some little kids in the clan, even they were killed by Obito.
That fucker is on top of my kill list. Itachi is also bad as he could have asked to spare the kids atleast. If Sasuke could be spared, why not kids youger than him or people who knows nothing about this coup!
I'm not a saint but killing babies is just sick. But I don't have the power to do anything. Only if I had a Mangekyou, I could have atleast saved some people.
But even if I can't save anybody, I won't be a puppet of that old monkey and his creepy friend. I will leave Konoha as soon as I can . It might be dangerous, but since I am an Uchiha, I will bear this hatred and fulfill my revenge before Naruto starts bullshitting about peace.
But where to go? I can probably go to hidden cloud village as they treat their people the best after the Chinoike mess. Becoming a rogue ninja is bad if you are weak and posses a sharingan.
I can't go solo unless I have a mangekyo. Specially if we have a little kid with us. Even then , the risk of blindless is there. So for now, let's grab as much cash and scrolls and leave with my loved ones .
Getting past security won't be an issue as I know about a lot of caravans due to police force inspections. We can transform into them and take their caravan as well as clearance papers.
But we should do it in 2 batches. I must send them out first to ensure their safety. Then I can join another caravan and leave.
I want to take the clan's secret jutsu scrolls and records as much as I can. If we manage to leave, we'll need to be strong enough to survive. Probably go to the land of birds or land of demons to lay low in that case. It's always best to have multiple plans and contingencies.
Look at me , I'm like Batman now!
If a single male Uchiha goes to cloud village after the massacre , he wouldn't be treated that bad. Plus, I'll get lots of waifus as they will be looking to get more sharingan users. I might get to Elite Jonin level after a few years and strike during chunin exams to vent my anger. Without any system or cheat, this is my best way.
But if I manage to save them, going to cloud village would be a problem. They will definitely try to exploit the women . Me and Kyoki might enjoy a harem but nothing can happen to my aunt and sisters. It all depends on their response if they want to leave or not. This is the type of moment I hate most. Being too weak to protect my loved ones.
With everything packed and ready, I got out of the house to head towards the market to pick some supplies and enjoy my last day at Konoha.
I met with my cousin Inami who was patrolling the streets and Izumi was just fawning over her would be killer. Well, he will penetrate her tomorrow, just not the way she hoped for.
I took them to their house where my aunt Shina greeted me with a smile. After some casual talk, I seriously spoke after ensuring its safe," Aunty, Inami and Izumi, I'm going to say something very secret and dangerous, so no matter what, you can not speak of it to anybody.
All of the Uchiha will be eliminated by the Hokage and Danzo as they have known about the stupid plan to rebel by the elders. Itachi has a mangekyo and he will help them slaughter us.
You must leave tonight with a caravan I'll arrange and take Kyouki and Hina with you. I'll go talk to them after you. I can't explain it all right now, but I will once we get to safety. I swear on my mother, all I said now is true." I breathed a long sigh as I spoke my piece.
All of them had a shocked expression, specially Izumi. They tried to ask something but I hushed them and said," you must make a choice now. We don't have time.
All I want to know is if you are coming or not. I'm not strong enough to prevent all this, so all I can do is protect you. I know this is hard, but it's either live or die."
Izumi wanted to talk to Itachi to plead that he doesn't do this but Aunt Shina stopped her and said," we'll pack our things and get ready to leave. If Shin speaks the truth, it's already too late for words.
The village won't tolerate the Uchiha after this. Itachi has chosen his side and I know that kid well. He will not change his mind. I will trust Shin as he's our family. He's definitely thinking the best for us."
She then turned to me and spoke in a worried tone," Why won't you come with us Shin? If you don't leave tonight, will you be able to leave tomorrow?"
I sighed and replied as I got up ," I have to ensure the best chance of our survival, so I need to do some things. I also need to ensure those who will commit this atrocity must pay a price."
After that , I went to make the arrangements and then I went to Kyoki's house which is close to mine. He was reading some icha icha secretly covered under a ninja book, as little Hina cutely tried to draw something on the living room.
She looked at me and lit up with a bright smile that melts your heart.
She jumped on me with a yell and asked," Shiniichan is here! What did you bring for me today?"
I pinched her cheeks and spoke like an old monk," I bring you salvation oh little one. And you shall embrace it for the philosophy of Pain is trash."
She giggled and replied, " what is is philosophy Shinii Chan? Is it sweeter than the candy you brought me last week? It tasted good but gave me a tummy ache."
I pulled out a bag of cookies and gave it to her and patted her head, " Feel pain, contemplate pain, accept pain, know pain. But for now, enjoy the bliss these cookies might bring, for peace is a fleeting dream."
Kyoki got up and smacked my head saying, " I love you and all bro, but you gotta stop saying these weird things to my sweet Hinami.
Yesterday she woke me up by saying," Just By Living, People Hurt Others Without Even Realizing It. So Long As Humanity Exists, Hate Will Also Exist. There Is No Peace In This Accursed World!" And then she punched me in the stomach!
I tried to hold my laugh as I spoke, " Hey, I only taught her some cool stuff to say. The punch was probably deserved by you. Next time I'll teach her to punch properly."
Kyoki gave me a death glare and spoke," why are you ruining my lovely quiet afternoon of reading? Don't you have some girl to chase ?"
I stood up straight and looked him at the eye with a serious look. Kyoki suddenly started fidgeting and nervously spoke," Hey,why are looking at me like that ? I don't like you that way!"
I didn't reply as I thought the best way to put everything. But Kyoki suddenly surprised me by saying ," Did you find out about the 50,000 ryo I borrowed from Inami in your name to buy the latest issue of Icha Icha? I swear I'll pay you back."
I was speechless at my cultured friend's guilty response and spoke," it's not that. It's something far important. Do you trust me buddy? "
Kyoki got serious and replied, " Of course man, you're my best friend."
I replied calmly, " then pack your bags and Hinami's. You must go to Aunt Shina and take them all to leave the village tonight. I have prepared everything so you guys can escape.
Konoha will destroy Uchiha clan tomorrow night with the help of Itachi so you must leave tonight. I will follow after you guys get to safety."
Kyoki was shocked and tried to retort, but stopped after looking at my serious look. He asked after a while," what will you do by staying back ? How will you escape? "
I replied," I'll have to steal whatever valuable things and jutsu I can find as we'll need those. I also wanted to teach a lesson to those old bastards."
Kyoki gulped nervously and spoke ," Then I will stay back with you. I'll send Hina with the girls first."
I wanted to refuse him but he resolutely spoke," If you are staying back so will I. Two of us can gather more stuff together and it will be easier to escape. It's gonna be too dangerous for you alone, but together we might pull it off."
I just gave him a hug and said," Alright buddy, it's gonna be just me and you against the rest, just like when we were kids." To which he jokingly replied," don't get too emotional now, I don't like you in that way."
I patted Hina on the head as I left with a smile.
It was certainly worth it to save them as they shown how much they trust and care for me. I never had much thought about getting isekai'd and becoming a hero, but I will become whatever I need to be for people who love me.
My plan is simple. After sending them away, me and Kyoki will transform during the evening of the massacre and sneak into the naka shrine and elders house as anbu.
There's a certain old guy who has planted explosives around konoha, and I'm gonna show the people of Konoha what true art and vengeance is. I will set of the explosives in sequence and create distraction. Then we will regroup outside after taking out the gate guards.
In case there is any accidents , I'll be the one at risk most but I can escape with my current speed. I thought the plan was good so I went out to enjoy the last peaceful day in a long time.
Walking through the bustling streets, it felt surreal. I felt some stares from others . Some mixed with respect and envy while the others with disdain and fear. The Uchihas reputation ia really not good. Thats no longer my problem.
I walked towards the edge of the village to scope out my escape route. There was very few buildings here and mostly trees , which would be beneficial.
Suddenly I saw a tavern with a few pretty girls walking inside. As a red blooded man about to leave everything, I thought I deserve one last night of fun here . So walked in with a swagger and asked for some drinks.
I looked around and saw a beautiful woman. She was quite pretty and elegant, but gave off a sad and lonely aura.
She had black hair and amber eyes along with a slightly slim build . She's almost like shizune from hokage arc. She also had probably good strength.
Some drunk tried to bother her which she paid no attention to, punching some of the overly clingy ones. Something about her just gained my attention, so I picked up some good wine and walked over to her.
I swatted the two drunkards and sat opposite of her with a smile and said," I might die tomorrow, can I have your company as my last wish so I can die without any regrets?"
She looked up curiously with a hint of mischief and replied," Then let me help you send you on your way earlier " She cracked her knuckles.
I chuckled and said," I don't mind dying in the hands of such a beauty, but isn't it too cruel not to fulfill a dying man's wish?"
She lost her smirk as she looked at me and said," I'm really in a bad mood today, so dont joke around. Specilly about death."
I replied calmly," well, it looks like I hit a nerve. How about this bottle of wine as an apology?" I pulled out the bottle as her gaze twinkled.
We started to talk and I found out her name was Hana and today was her brothers death anniversary which was she was drinking heavily. We talked about each other and drank.
I comforted her sincerely and she gradually opened up. I knew she was using some sort of transformation jutsu but paid no mind as her body wasn't actually too much different from her real body, maybe prettier.
But that also posed a question, why is a pretty girl using transformation jutsu to drink by herself?
We lost track of time as we talked and eventually it was closing time . I cleared our tab and walked out with Hana in my arms. She was very drunk and kept mumbling from time to time.
I asked where was she staying and she surprised me saying," I thought you would try to take me to your home and take advantage of me."
I laughed and said," I don't need to take advantage, but never refuse when a beautiful woman offers."
She blushed a bit and quietly replied," I don't want to be alone tonight." I didn't think meore and carried her to my home in a flash as she hugged my neck.
Never did I thought this decision would change my fate dramatically.
And kids, that is how I met your mother!
