Year 54 of Konoha.
On a night of pouring rain, a boy dressed in a grass cloak arrived at the Hyuga Clan compound.
The door opened.
A child of only six was led out by several members of the Hyuga Clan, head bowed.
"Finally, someone's willing to take this freak. Get lost, quick! You're a disgrace to the Hyuga Clan!"
The door slammed shut again.
The air turned cold. Only the two of them stood alone in the street.
The rain kept pouring, but in the dim light of the lantern by the Hyuga Clan's entrance, the fan-shaped symbol on the man's back was clearly visible.
"I'm sorry, Chuan Yu..."
"Shisui..."
"Couldn't keep his promise..."
Chuan Yu bowed his head and said nothing. His fists suddenly clenched, and his long hair covered his cheeks, hiding every trace of emotion on his face.
"You're Brother Itachi, right...?"
Once he had calmed down, Chuan Yu smiled and raised his head.
Through the long hair hanging before Chuan Yu's eyes in the pitch-black night, Itachi looked somewhat shocked.
It was the first time he had ever seen a child with eyes like these.
A One-Tomoe Sharingan in his left eye.
And a Byakugan in his right.
After a brief silence, Itachi stroked Chuan Yu's wet hair, his face full of warmth. "No matter what happens from now on, I'll protect you forever on Shisui's behalf."
At those words, Itachi crouched down, and Chuan Yu threw himself into his arms.
At that moment, tears spilled from Itachi's eyes.
Just moments ago, the whole scene had replayed in his mind.
At the edge of the cliff by the bridge over the Naka River.
By the time he had reached Shisui—
Shisui had gouged out his remaining left eye.
"Protect this village. Protect the Uchiha name..."
Blood streamed from his left eye as crows circled above them, beating their wings.
"Once I'm dead, things should change. I've left a letter, too."
The moment Shisui tossed the Mangekyō Sharingan in his hand to Itachi, he smiled and leaped off the cliff.
"Shisui!"
Itachi tried to grab him, but it was already too late.
"Don't stop me... Itachi... If you're my friend, then... I'm entrusting Chuan Yu to you..."
"Shisui!!!"
At the top of the cliff, beneath the full moon, Itachi knelt on the ground as blood streamed from his eyes.
After a brief breath, Itachi's eyes opened against his will. A shuriken-like pattern filled the center of each one.
The Mangekyō Sharingan...
Suddenly, he opened his palm. The Sharingan Shisui had left him lay quietly in it.
Its last trace of warmth faded moments later.
"This is the last thing Shisui entrusted to you. Let's go home..."
Chuan Yu took the Mangekyō Sharingan from Itachi's palm, his heart weighed down by too many emotions.
Two years ago, he had crossed over into the world of Naruto, thinking he could dominate the entire Ninja World.
But his miserable background had put a limit on his bright future.
His mother was Hyuga Natsu of the Hyuga Clan, while his father was Kagami Uchiha, the former head of the Uchiha Clan.
His noble blood was the only proof of his identity. The arrogant Hyuga Clan flew into a rage when they learned the truth.
In their eyes, the Uchiha were synonymous with evil. The affair was a disgrace to the family.
At the time, the Hyuga Clan was at the height of its influence in Konoha and had made many contributions to the village. Under pressure, Kagami Uchiha never found the courage to face Chuan Yu's mother.
The Hyuga Clan, naturally, refused to acknowledge the relationship between Kagami Uchiha and Hyuga Natsu.
But Hyuga Natsu was already pregnant. After she pleaded desperately, Chuan Yu was allowed to live. Yet she died in childbirth the day he was born...
With no one to rely on, Chuan Yu endured the contempt and coldness of everyone in the Hyuga Clan. His only companion was a little dog he had found.
Once, the Hyuga children bullied Chuan Yu together. When they drove a kunai through the little dog's body, grief overwhelmed him. Blood suddenly poured from his left eye, and he awakened the One-Tomoe Sharingan.
The children who had bullied them were terrified. They all ran off crying to find their families.
The looks everyone in the Hyuga Clan gave Chuan Yu after that were etched even more deeply into his memory.
Coldness, suspicion, fear, and disdain.
With a Sharingan awakened in only his left eye, he became a freak in the eyes of the Hyuga Clan.
He never got enough to eat and was bullied almost every day. Eventually, word of it reached Kagami Uchiha.
Overcome with guilt toward Hyuga Natsu and her son, Kagami Uchiha sent Shisui to the Hyuga Clan to give Chuan Yu his clan name.
Hyuga Natsu was gone, but Chuan Yu was still his son. Kagami gave him the Uchiha name because, though Chuan Yu had always lived with the Hyuga Clan, they did not acknowledge him as one of their own.
By giving Chuan Yu the Uchiha name, Kagami made it clear that he hoped to bring him back to the Uchiha Clan one day.
But the two clans had become enemies, and as long as Kagami Uchiha was alive, he could not bring Chuan Yu back.
When they first met, Chuan Yu and Shisui promised each other that one day, Shisui would come for him in person.
Though they shared only one parent, Shisui treated Chuan Yu like his own little brother.
That suddenly brought the warmth of sunlight to Chuan Yu, who had been trapped in an icy abyss.
"Shisui..."
"Make sure you take good care of Yu'er..."
"After I die... the Hyuga Clan will drop the matter... and Yu'er can finally come home..."
Lying in bed, Kagami Uchiha let a tear trickle from the corner of his eye. His cracked lips struggled to form his final words. After handing the clan leader's position to Uchiha Fugaku, he passed away.
It was also then that Uchiha Shisui, devastated by his father's death, awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Bearing his father's final request, Shisui was torn between joy and sorrow. His little brother could finally come home. It was wonderful news.
But at that very moment, the newly appointed Uchiha Fugaku discovered a serious problem among the Uchiha.
After being suppressed by the Konoha High Command for so long, the Uchiha Clan had grown increasingly distant from the center of power.
While Kagami Uchiha had been alive, he had been able to keep the clan in check. Now that he was dead, the clan members were restless and wanted to seize control of Konoha.
Fugaku looked troubled. In the end, he sought out Shisui. Since Shisui was Kagami Uchiha's son, Fugaku hoped he would step in and stop the others.
But no secret stayed hidden forever. Word of the planned coup eventually reached the Konoha High Command.
At a meeting, Shimura Danzō of Konoha's Root had a new idea.
He proposed stripping the Uchiha of all their power and keeping them under permanent surveillance.
At the first meeting, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi gave no answer. But behind the scenes, he agreed with Danzo's plan.
Just then, Uchiha Shisui was trying to stop the clan from staging a coup. After learning that Konoha intended to take action against the Uchiha, he approached Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi on his own.
Shisui proposed that Uchiha Fugaku, the clan's current leader, be invited to the negotiations.
As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi heard Shisui's proposal, he abandoned the idea Danzo had previously suggested.
After all, the Uchiha were part of Konoha, too. If they were stripped of everything, civil unrest was inevitable.
At the first negotiation, Fugaku stated that there would be no coup. But Danzo refused to believe him and continued to insist on stripping the Uchiha of their power.
With both sides at an impasse, the meeting ended.
Shisui said he had a way to change the Uchiha's minds about the coup.
Kotoamatsukami.
That immediately stirred Danzo's greed.
Under pressure from Konoha, with the negotiations having failed, the village began to bear down on the Uchiha.
Fugaku eventually gave in to the clan's wishes and began to launch the coup.
With matters come to this, Shisui had no choice but to use Kotoamatsukami to change the clan members' minds about staging a coup.
Once this was over, Shisui planned to bring Chuan Yu back to the Uchiha Clan and protect him from then on.
Danzo suddenly sent for Shisui.
As his subordinate, Shisui went without suspicion or caution.
Only after arriving did he realize that Danzo had set an ambush to take his Sharingan.
"Using your Kotoamatsukami to change the Uchiha's minds about the coup would be such a waste. What a shame..."
Shisui fought desperately, and Danzo fell before him.
But just as Shisui was about to leave, Danzo suddenly appeared behind him and struck from behind.
Danzo took his right eye.
Izanagi...
It turned out that the Uchiha who had suddenly disappeared during this period had all fallen victim to Danzo.
Poisonous gas closed in from all sides, and reinforcements suddenly appeared.
Shisui hurriedly fled.
Thinking of Chuan Yu, Shisui was overcome by bottomless grief.
"Chuan Yu... my little brother... I'm sorry..."
The rain was still falling.
Itachi took Chuan Yu by the hand and walked aimlessly toward home.
Lightning flashed across the sky. Chuan Yu suddenly stopped.
"I'll kill Danzo with my own hands."
His voice was cold, his eyes sinister. The moment the seed of hatred took root in his heart, Chuan Yu decided he would change the order of all Konoha.
