Traveling through the world of Naruto, I am an Uchiha...
I am five years old, and Minato Namikaze has just become the Hokage.
There are probably five to eight years left until the Uchiha Clan Massacre, and to make matters worse, there is no system.
Although I supposedly have a genius cheat, I truly lack the confidence to contend with the Mangekyō Sharingan in just a few years, let alone three pairs of Mangekyō.
Moreover, besides those two ungrateful wretches, there is hostility from nearly the entire Konoha.
"Sigh..."
"What a worry!"
Sitting on the branch of a tall tree, five-year-old Uchiha Ensei gazed at the not-so-distant Hokage Rock, his youthful face brimming with worry.
Ever since he could extract chakra at the age of three, Uchiha Ensei had been searching for a way to solve his problems, but unfortunately, there was not the slightest bit of hope.
Now that Minato Namikaze had just become the Hokage, the Nine-Tails' Attack was at most two or three years away, and at the very least a few months.
As for the exact time? He could only determine a rough timeframe for the Uchiha Clan Massacre, let alone anything else.
And Kushina Uzumaki...
Uchiha Ensei was not Sasuke Uchiha; he did not have a mother who was a close friend of Kushina Uzumaki, so he had never even met Kushina Uzumaki.
Although he did not know the exact time, as Minato Namikaze became the Hokage, the countdown to his own life had also begun.
If he did not want to die, he had to find a way to solve the problem.
Although this was already a new life, Uchiha Ensei did not want to die so early.
Relying on himself, the probability of successfully rebelling and fleeing Konoha was not high, even if he managed to run out. To say nothing of whether he could evade the pursuit of Konoha ninja, the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan alone was already dangerous enough.
Therefore, this method could only be tried when there was no other choice.
As for changing the mindsets of Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, this plan was stillborn before it even began to be implemented.
There was no help for it. Shisui Uchiha was a ninja and rarely appeared in the clan lands on ordinary days. Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha was the son of the clan head and rarely interacted with his fellow clansmen on ordinary days.
If he had transmigrated as Sasuke Uchiha, there might have been a sliver of a chance to change things, but doing that would probably be even more dangerous.
Instead, right now, if he handled things properly, he could actually change many things.
The only thing that can be done right now is this!
He had to deliver a big gift to Minato Namikaze!
Uchiha Ensei stared at the Hokage Rock for a long time, a trace of resolution flashing in his eyes. He formed hand seals, mobilized the chakra throughout his whole body, and laboriously split off a shadow clone.
Although he possessed sufficient chakra control, at the age of five, separating out this special shadow clone was still quite stressful.
Fumbling for an envelope from the front of his shirt, Uchiha Ensei handed it to his shadow clone.
"Be sure to be careful and do not expose your identity. I am not very familiar with practicing the Transformation Technique, so you must wear a mask well..."
A trace of hesitation flashed in Uchiha Ensei's eyes, but in the end, he decided to give it a try.
For this moment, he had made ample preparations.
The envelope was a letter to Minato Namikaze, revealing the identity of Obito Uchiha, his current state, as well as matters concerning Kushina Uzumaki's pregnancy and how she would be ambushed during it.
In the letter, Uchiha Ensei wrote down almost the entire truth, including things like Kakashi Hatake talking to himself in front of Rin's grave and being overheard by Obito.
The envelope was very thick. To write this letter, Uchiha Ensei had secretly cut up two or three books, found a lot of fruit pectin, and pasted it together word by word.
Aside from that, all these preparations were made by Uchiha Ensei using a specially modified shadow clone, striving not to leave the slightest trace of scent.
It was worth mentioning that shadow clones also possessed the exact same aura as the main body, which was why enemies could not tell the real one from the fake, but this kind of specially modified shadow clone was different.
At the age of five, successfully modifying the Shadow Clone Technique to a certain extent was enough to prove Uchiha Ensei's aptitude.
If time hadn't been so short, he truly wouldn't have feared mere Uchiha.
But there was no help for it; the gap between possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan and not possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan was simply too huge.
Uchiha Ensei's shadow clone pulled a wooden mask out of its pocket and put it on its face.
Ninjutsu like the shadow clone could replicate the clothing and equipment on the main body. However, the replicated items were integrated with the shadow clone, and a gentle touch would cause the entire shadow clone to be dispelled.
Even so, it was the best choice for concealing his identity.
Uchiha Ensei's shadow clone spoke very calmly: "Check if there are any other traces left on me."
Hearing this, Uchiha Ensei did not approach his shadow clone, but instead stayed far away and tested it using various methods before finally speaking:
"No problem. I have used a special solution to eliminate the scent on the envelope in your hand, so there shouldn't be any accidents."
"I have already done the absolute limit of what I can do. If you are discovered, then choose to take a gamble and act like a mystic. It's still better than doing nothing!"
"Just to be safe, wait here until dark before taking action. I'm going to destroy the mask and clothes on my body right now."
Hearing Uchiha Ensei's words, the shadow clone nodded, then performed the Transformation Technique, transforming into a somewhat crooked branch.
Uchiha Ensei did not master things like the Transformation Technique very well, but normally no one would pay attention to how many branches were at the highest point of a large tree.
However, when it comes to ninjutsu, whether one has mastered it completely or not is not important; what matters is that it is enough to use.
Observing his surroundings, Uchiha Ensei climbed down from the large tree and walked toward his home just like usual.
For today's operation, Uchiha Ensei had irregularly come to play near this large tree for more than half a year, and he did not plan to change this habit of his in the short term.
Facing the setting sun, he returned home. The moment he stepped through the door, he could see warm meals waiting on the table.
In this life, Uchiha Ensei lost his parents shortly after birth and was raised by ordinary people of the same clan until he was three.
After the age of three, it was just like this: at a fixed time every day, someone would send food over, and occasionally a ninja would come to teach him some basic ninjutsu knowledge.
Unlike Konoha's orphanage, the Uchiha Clan believed that the strong were supreme, so they did not show special care for young children, yet there was somewhat of a sense of treating everyone equally.
Skillfully picking up his bowl and chopsticks, Uchiha Ensei retrieved a book from the bookshelf not far away and began to read while he ate.
The taste of the food naturally could not be considered overly delicious, but it wasn't bad either. The portions of vegetables and meat each accounted for half, which could be considered sumptuous throughout the entire village of Konoha.
After finishing his meal, Uchiha Ensei skillfully began to wash the clothes on his body.
Accompanied by clear water soaking them, some pigments easily peeled off the clothes, and before long, the entire garment took on a completely different appearance.
Mm, as expected of a ninja. This method of rapidly changing the color of clothing is truly amazing...
After hanging the clothes out to dry, Uchiha Ensei took out a small knife and began to carve away at the wooden mask.
While Uchiha Ensei's main body was busy, over on the large tree near Hokage Rock, a somewhat crooked branch twisted and morphed, transforming into a youth clad in black.
