"Move! Don't block the way! Where are the medical ninja?!"
"Suzaku, hang in there!"
"You said you were going to become the strongest Uchiha and become Hokage! You haven't fulfilled your dreams yet! How can you just die?!"
Through his haze, Suzaku heard many voices.
Uchiha?
Hokage?
What was going on?
Everything before his eyes was pitch-black. Suzaku felt a searing pain in his eyes.
He couldn't open them.
And every cell in his body seemed submerged in a deep pool, struggling desperately and playing a mournful song of death.
"Was I about to die?"
"No!"
A fierce will to survive suddenly erupted within Suzaku.
Boom!
Suzaku's consciousness exploded like the Big Bang, forming a black vortex.
Before he could sort out his thoughts, Suzaku lost all awareness of the outside world.
Within his mindscape.
Scene after scene flashed before Suzaku like a revolving lantern.
These were the original owner's memories.
Uchiha Suzaku, twenty-two years old.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Jonin.
In an earlier battle, poison mist had gotten into his eyes as he saved a teammate, and a slash across his chest had cut down to the bone.
"With talent like this, he actually wanted to become the strongest Uchiha. Where did he find the nerve?"
"Still, what was the difference between someone without dreams and a useless layabout?"
Suddenly, the black vortex within his mindscape began to turn slowly.
It condensed into a strange, black, mist-like flame.
When Suzaku focused his mind on the black flame, countless pieces of profound information flooded his brain.
"[Chaos Flame]."
The Third Kazekage had disappeared, leaving Sunagakure leaderless. The Land of Lightning, which favored military expansion, seized the opportunity to invade the Land of Wind.
The Third Ninja World War began.
