Naruto: Extrapolation Starting with the Jōgan

Uchiha Ling’s Jōgan does not hand him instant supremacy: it reads emotional residue, exposes chakra weaknesses, and projects uncertain fragments of possible futures. A year after transmigrating into the body of a neglected Uchiha boy, he attends Hiruzen Sarutobi’s funeral and detects something among the mourners’ grief—malice aimed directly at him. Danzo’s Root has noticed his eyes, and the futures Ling glimpses offer capture or death rather than reassurance.

Ling takes a B-rank mission out of Konoha, deliberately giving his pursuers an opportunity to follow. Alongside Inuzuka Gaku and Aoi, he investigates Maple Leaf Town, where an unnatural tree keeps residents asleep while draining their vitality. Dodging a sealing-needle assassination attempt is only the beginning: clues beneath an ancient shrine lead to a corrupted scroll, a root-bound corpse, and Root operatives determined to seize their prize.

The mood is tense, calculating, and bloodstained, with victories earned through concealed abilities and precisely timed reversals. Readers who enjoy tactical eye powers, covert village politics, and a vulnerable outsider turning assassination plots into opportunities will find a sharply focused survival story here.
