Sasuke Uchiha

"What happened to me? Why can't I open my eyes?" Ye Chen had just woken up and was completely confused. Then he realized he felt exhausted, unable to muster any strength.

"Hm? Someone's talking. Why can't I understand a word? Where am I?" Suddenly, Ye Chen remembered. Wait, I was in my room watching Naruto. Then something strange happened, and I passed out. Did that ghost kill me? Am I in the underworld now? The thought terrified him. With all his might, he finally forced his eyes open.

As soon as he opened them, Ye Chen was startled all over again. He saw a hand—a huge, pale hand reaching toward him. "What the hell is that? What are you going to do?" he cried, struggling and shouting in terror, but all that came out were helpless babyish wails. The big hand did nothing to hurt him; it only gently stroked his head. Why does my voice sound like this? Ye Chen suddenly noticed his own hand flailing in the air and froze.

Is this my hand? What on earth is going on? Why is it so tiny? It's a baby's hand. Wait, a baby? Have I become a baby? What the hell! So this isn't the underworld? Did that ghost kill me, and then I transmigrated? Ye Chen felt both frightened and excited.

Well, I guess that's fine. There wasn't much I wanted to hold on to anyway. The only shame is that I never got to finish Naruto and One Piece. First, I should find out where I've ended up. I really hope I've transmigrated into the worlds of Naruto or One Piece.

Following the large hand on his head, Ye Chen turned his gaze to the side. He saw a pretty woman with delicate features. Her face glowed with happiness as she looked at him, speaking to him, but he couldn't understand a word.

Is she my mother in this life? What is she saying? It sounds like Japanese. Don't tell me I've transmigrated to Japan. What the hell!

"Mother." Uchiha Itachi had entered the room. "Itachi, come here and look at your little brothers. Aren't they adorable?" Mikoto Uchiha said to him. "Yes, Mother." Itachi walked over, excitement written on his face. "Hehe, you're a big brother now, Itachi. Make sure you take good care of your little brothers." Mikoto affectionately stroked Itachi's head and spoke gently.

Little brothers? I've never had a little brother before! Looking at the two identical babies by the bedside, Itachi felt a strong sense of responsibility swell in his chest. I'm their big brother. I have to protect them. Itachi made up his mind.

"Mikoto, how are you feeling?" Fugaku Uchiha entered the room and asked Mikoto, who was lying on the bed, with concern. "I'm fine, Fugaku. Come and see our children." Mikoto smiled at him.

The medical ninja in the room bowed to Fugaku Uchiha as he came in. "Clan Head." "You've worked hard." "You're too kind, Clan Head. It's our duty." Then they tactfully withdrew.

"Come and see our children. Aren't they adorable?" "You've worked hard, Mikoto," Fugaku Uchiha said, his eyes filled with love. "It's all right. I'm happy," Mikoto replied.

"Hehe, this little one's got a lot of spirit. What a loud cry!" Uchiha looked at the baby crying hard on the bed, then glanced at Ye Chen. "Huh? Why is this little one so quiet? Not crying or fussing at all! Could something be wrong?" "Don't be ridiculous. How can you say that about your own child?"

Mikoto Uchiha smiled and chided Fugaku Uchiha. "Let's name the children. What should we call them?" "Right, we should give them names. Let me think." Fugaku Uchiha furrowed his brow.

"I've got it. We'll call the one who cries so much Sasuke—Sasuke Uchiha. And the quiet one can be Chen—Uchiha Chen." "Sasuke Uchiha, Uchiha Chen. Sasuke, Chen. Good, then it's Sasuke and Chen." Mikoto repeated the two names, clearly fond of them.

Sasuke and Chen? I'll protect you both, no matter what it takes. Itachi looked at the two little ones on the bed, his gaze firm as he made the promise to himself.

Just then, a member of the Uchiha Clan arrived outside the door with a message. "Clan Head, the Third is here." "The Third? I understand. I'll be right there," Fugaku Uchiha replied. "The Third is here?" "Yes. He's probably come to congratulate us. I'll go see him." "All right, go ahead."

News that the Uchiha Clan Head had welcomed a pair of twins soon spread throughout Konoha. Members of the various clans and several well-known, influential ninja came to offer their congratulations. Although many people disliked the Uchiha Clan, they still had to keep up appearances. After all, the Uchiha were still Konoha's most prominent clan and wielded considerable influence.

In a secret base somewhere in Konoha, a man who looked somewhat old and wore a kimono sat behind the only desk in a dimly lit hall, studying the intelligence in his hands.

In front of the desk, a group of masked ninja knelt on one knee. It was clear that the kimono-clad man was their leader.

Anyone who had watched Naruto would have guessed where they were. That was right: this was Root, one of Konoha's most mysterious organizations, a root buried in the darkness. The man seated behind the desk was Root's leader, Shimura Danzō.

"Hmph. The Uchiha, huh? Let them strut around for a few more days. You're dismissed." The last words were directed at the ninja in front of him. "Yes, sir," the kneeling ninja replied in unison. Then they used the Body Flicker Technique. With a whoosh, they vanished.

"Whatever it takes, I will have the Sharingan."

The Uchiha Clan members were immersed in joy. Their Clan Head had welcomed another pair of twins, and for a while, everyone from the Uchiha Clan to Konoha's civilians discussed them. As far as they were concerned, the two children were sure to become geniuses.

After all, they were the Clan Head's children, and Uchiha Itachi, the first son of the Uchiha Clan Head, was the best proof.

Itachi was young, but he was already recognized throughout Konoha as a genius. He represented the Uchiha, so in the eyes of Konoha's civilians, the Uchiha were synonymous with genius. The Uchiha Clan members took great pride in this, and it was precisely what led many of them to grow arrogant and look down on everyone else.

However, three months after Uchiha Chen was born, a disaster struck Konoha, and Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Chen faded from public attention.

That disaster was the Nine-Tails! The Nine-Tails, which had been sealed away, was suddenly released for some unknown reason. The rampaging beast tore through Konoha, inflicting heavy casualties on the village's ninja.

In the end, the young Fourth Hokage gave his life to perform a forbidden technique and seal the Nine-Tails inside a newborn named Naruto Uzumaki. With no suitable Hokage available, the Third, who had already retired, was forced to take up the burden of leadership once more.

Afterward, Konoha began rebuilding the village destroyed by the Nine-Tails. Naruto, whom the Third had carried away from the disaster, was regarded by the people of Konoha as the Nine-Tails' incarnation and hated by them. However, because of the Third's order to keep it secret, they could only whisper about it in private.

After that, no major events befell Konoha, and six peaceful years passed.

"Ninety-six... Ninety-seven... Ninety-eight..." In the Uchiha compound, a small boy with long black hair, dressed in tight-fitting clothes and looking no older than five or six, struggled through push-ups. Sweat ran down his cheeks and dripped to the ground, soaking a patch beneath him. Every muscle in his body was taut.

For a boy so young, what he had managed was already impressive. His trembling hands showed that he had reached his limit, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. "Ninety... nine... one hundred."

At last, after two more push-ups, the boy could hold himself up no longer. He collapsed onto the ground and gasped for breath. Both arms ached terribly, and he didn't even want to move his fingers.

"Six years. I've been in this world for six years," the boy murmured, laboriously rolling onto his back. "I never imagined this world would actually be the setting of my favorite anime from my previous life, Naruto. And who would've thought I, Ye Chen, would get the chance to transmigrate? Heh!"

That's right. This boy was Ye Chen, who had been born six years ago. Over those six years, Chen had finally figured out that he was in the world of a hugely popular anime from his previous life: Naruto. He had also learned the language of this world. Here, his name was Uchiha Chen, and he was the son of Fugaku Uchiha, Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, as well as the twin brother of Sasuke Uchiha.

Uchiha Chen? I don't exist anywhere in the Original Story, do I? And I've been reborn into the tragic Uchiha Clan. "Still, it's not all bad. In my previous life, I drifted through it in a daze and wasted so many years. Since fate sent me to this world, I'll seize this chance and live however I please.

"In this dangerous world, full of extraordinary people and countless powerful fighters, I'll need enough strength to live as I please. The Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai is a pretty good choice."

Ye Chen, who had watched the Original Story, knew that in this world, where bloodlines and backgrounds mattered so much, the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai was indeed the perfect fit.
