Naruto Immersive Replay, The Curse of the Sharingan

They looked you up and down, wondering why you dared to come to the Feathered Clan's territory alone, given your sickly appearance.

However, they soon found out.

Those three-tomoe eyes transformed into a kaleidoscope, and unleashed a ghostly, one-sided slaughter.

After an unknown amount of time, the place became a ruin, and you felt as if your eyes could no longer see clearly.

When Uchiha Tajima arrived with his clansmen, they smelled a strong stench of blood and immediately saw you leaning against the rock wall, surrounded by the corpses of the Hagoromo clan.

You are dressed in Uchiha attire, your face covered in blood, making it impossible to see your true appearance.

A high black ponytail, pale skin, slightly pursed red lips, and blood-red eyes.

You've actually awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan! Tajima was taken aback at first, then moved closer to you.

"You killed them."

Upon hearing the voice, you feel a strange sense of familiarity, as if you've heard it somewhere before.

Suddenly I remembered, that was the voice of the clan leader, Uchiha Tajima.

Because of the blurred vision, I could only look towards the source of the sound. "Yes."

Your brother's death has left you feeling like a walking corpse. Revenge would only appease the dead; it wouldn't comfort the living.

Perhaps war and hatred are an inescapable vicious cycle, one that will never end...

Even though Tajima knew nothing, he could still sense the extremely sorrowful chakra aura emanating from you.

"What's your name?" Tajima asked, knowing he had to pay close attention to a clansman with such strength.

You smiled, but the smile didn't reach your eyes. "My name is Uchiha Nagi."

Uchiha Nagi? Uchiha Tajima seems to have heard that name before.

He is said to be the strongest assassin ever to appear in the old guard, and he has never failed in any assassination mission he has undertaken.

Strange... How did Uchiha Nagi end up here?

Before Tajima could finish his thought, Yoshio Uchiha and his former subordinates had already arrived.

"Uchiha Nagi! How dare you act on your own without orders from your former subordinates!" The reprimand was sharp, showing just how despicable this was to the Grand Elder.

You glanced at the Grand Elder, a hint of murderous intent flashing in your eyes.

"Why did my brother die? Please tell me, Yoshio Uchiha!" You stand up and pull your sword from the corpse at your feet.

Hearing your question, Yoshio Uchiha didn't think he had done anything wrong. "Dying on the battlefield is his glorious mission. Don't you understand that?"

"Ha!" The high-sounding reason makes you scoff. With a swift movement, the blade falls, and before Uchiha Yoshio can even resist, his head rolls on the ground.

This action startled everyone, who looked at you warily. One of the clansmen spoke up, "Uchiha Nagi, are you planning a rebellion?"

Seeing that you had dealt with his opposing faction, Uchiha Tajima felt incredibly pleased, but he didn't show it on his face. "What are you doing?"

"As you can see."

From then on, you left your old comrades and betrayed the Uchiha clan.

You've traveled to various countries and witnessed countless wars, and you've begun to question the meaning of the ninja world's existence.

Until one night, you suddenly receive a letter from an unknown person.

Chapter 2: The Return Journey

Author's Note: [Super OOC. The first playthrough is set in the Warring States period. Adulthood is at sixteen, and teenage romance is normal in this era. The female lead is three years older than Madara. It will take at least three hours to get into this book. If you can't accept a slow burn, you can leave now. There are foreshadowings everywhere, so it's normal if you don't understand them. Once you fall in love with this book, you don't need any explanations. It's only for a niche fanbase.]

[If you don't find the male ghost or the story enjoyable after finishing the first playthrough, feel free to criticize me here. The same applies to the later playthroughs. This book is enjoyable but also angsty, driving away many readers. The first playthrough was a bit better, but the second playthrough was a disaster. If anyone asks why they should buy this book because it's so long, please let me know.]

[Listen to me, pause now, and immediately jump to the forbidden 1v1 side story of the second playthrough, especially Tanuki Obito's "Compared to Him," and then rewatch the hidden chapter of Imprisoned Love.]

[This book is authoritative! No joke. The author excels at writing in multiple perspectives, but the second-person perspective is a unique feature of this book. Some readers have expressed that they are not used to it, but that's okay. If you really can't accept it, just leave!]

[As I said before, I don't discriminate against male readers who read otome novels, but this book has over 4000 male readers vying for its attention.]

[Female readers are free to share their opinions on the characters and their reading experience. They can freely identify with the original female protagonist in this book, create their own fanfiction, or share their daily lives. If you have any troubles or need help, please post them in the author's notes so you won't miss anything.]

[The author is well aware that the majority of the female-oriented Naruto fanfiction audience is actually students. This book does not seek donations, and I don't need donations or support from fans. Reading and commenting is already the greatest support.]

Heavy rains began to fall in the Naka River at the start of summer, and the humid air was filled with the smell of earth.

You put on the familiar cloak again, and the Uchiha clan's appearance has changed quite a bit from what you remember.

Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves, you recall that night five years ago, which was also a rainy day.

It was a tragedy filled with folly, and it ended in betrayal.

The four had just come out of the council hall, and the young man leading them was none other than Uchiha Madara, the young clan leader of the Uchiha clan.

The other three are the other young masters of the Uchiha clan: Ryohei, Izuna, and Kiyo.

They also have a younger brother, Uchiha Gen, who is just five years old and still being cared for at the clan head's residence.

Madara Uchiha walked in the dimly lit pavilion, listening to the pattering rain, feeling that the night was far from peaceful.

Suddenly a figure appeared ahead, accompanied by the clear sound of footsteps.

A man in a black cloak followed behind the hawkish elder.

Upon seeing them, the elder stopped in his tracks. "Greetings, young masters!"

Uchiha Izuna smiled and replied, "Greetings, Elder!"

The others simply nodded in greeting.

"It's so late, what brings Elder to see Father?" Madara Uchiha asked, his gaze fixed on the person behind the Elder.

The cloak concealed the man and woman completely, making it impossible to tell whether they were male or female.

The elder immediately replied, "Yes, young clan leader, we have distinguished guests visiting tonight, and we dare not delay you. Please forgive our rudeness!"

After saying that, the elder led his men past them.

Watching the departing figure, Uchiha Yoshihide turned around and said, "Let's go!"

"Onii-chan!" Izuna Uchiha grabbed Madara Uchiha's right hand. "I don't like the smell of the people the elder brought earlier!"

Among the young masters of the Uchiha clan, the most lively one is the third young master, Uchiha Izuna, who is also the younger brother with the best relationship to Uchiha Madara.

Upon hearing Izuna's words, Madara Uchiha asked, "Don't you like the smell?"

"Yes, it smelled bitter!" Uchiha Izuna recalled.

Uchiha Inori added, "It smells like the incense of some unknown herb."

"I see." Madara Uchiha said thoughtfully.

It's normal for the Uchiha clan to have a sweet tooth and aversion to bitter tastes.

The brothers chatted idly, quickly forgetting what had just happened.

Uchiha Tajima had prepared tea and had been waiting in the council chamber for a long time.

The elder brought the person in and then withdrew to stand guard outside the door.

You lowered your cloak and hood, your eyes darting between red and black shikigami runes. "Long time no see, clan leader."

Over the years, Uchiha Tajima has been inquiring about your whereabouts. If it weren't for the news about the Uchiha Sou Eye, you probably would never have appeared again.

"You must have heard the news. Go back to the Uchiha clan," Tajima said earnestly.

"If I were an elder, this would indeed be an irresistible reason to refuse."

On the Uchiha training ground, the boys were practicing hard and sparring with each other.

"Onii-chan! Your power has increased a lot!" Uchiha Izuna's eyes were filled with admiration for Uchiha Madara.

Madara Uchiha paused for a moment, then said, "I still feel I'm not strong enough."

“Yes, Izuna, your brother is right. There is war everywhere now, and there are too many powerful enemies. We cannot underestimate them.” Uchiha Yoshihide gently patted Izuna’s shoulder.

"Onii-chan! Second brother! I understand!" Uchiha Izuna nodded obediently.

As they were talking, a spirited voice came from behind them.

"Young Clan Leader! Second Young Master! Izuna Kiyo! I'm back!" Uchiha Kakuno ran towards them.

"Looks like you've had a good haul this time!" Uchiha Yoshihide spoke first.

"Of course, thanks to me..." Uchiha Hikaru became smug when he saw Ryoei talking to him. "Hey! Don't go! Take me with you during training!"

Before he could finish speaking, Madara Uchiha led them off to training.

Not for any other reason, but mainly because Uchiha Higanbana is a chatterbox. If he keeps rambling on like this, we might as well skip today's training.

The thought of his older brother teaching him ninjutsu filled Izuna with excitement, and he couldn't help but start running lightly.

Just around the corner of the corridor, Uchiha Izuna bumped into the person who had just arrived.

"Hiss!" Izuna was knocked away a short distance away and fell to the ground in pain.

"Izuna!" they all exclaimed in unison. Uchiha Madara was the first to react and helped his third brother, who had fallen to the ground, up.

Uchiha Kang looked around in a dilemma. “Lord Nagi, the one who bumped into you was the Third Young Master Izuna. The others were the young clan leader Madara, the Second Young Master Ryohide, the Fourth Young Master Kiyo, and my son, Kaku.”

Upon hearing this, the boys looked at you, who had bumped into Izuna.

You are wearing a black samurai robe, with two long swords crossed on your back and a jade-green flute hanging at your waist.

His long black hair was tied up high, his eyebrows were arrogant, his expression was nonchalant, his nose was high and straight, his thin lips were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and his skin was pale.

And the cold indifference that you unintentionally exude is incredibly addictive.

You glanced around, your gaze lingered on Liangying for a few seconds, and then looked away.

This is the first time they've seen you, but judging from your attire, you seem to be an extremely arrogant female ninja.

Uchiha Izuna stood up, remembering the bitter smell of medicine he had just caught, and immediately pointed at you and shouted, "She's the one in the black cloak from last night!"

You stood there quietly, your posture upright, your beautiful face expressionless, seemingly unconcerned about the situation, as if you were detached from it all.

Madara looked at the female ninja in front of him, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. The surrounding noise gradually faded away, and the whole world was left with only her figure.

You seemed to notice Madara Uchiha's burning gaze, and tilted your head slightly, your cold eyes sweeping across the boy's face.

His eyes were devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at a lifeless stone or a leaf falling in the wind.

This extreme indifference made Madara Uchiha's heart race suddenly.

This was a burning, indescribable emotion that Ban had never felt before. He clenched his fist slightly, his fingertips trembling involuntarily. This feeling of being out of control made him both confused and excited.

"Don't let this interfere with important business." You glanced at Kang Dao with a warning in your eyes, as if you were in a superior position.

After leaving those words behind, you walked toward the council chamber on your own.

Only after the person had gone far away did Uchiha Kakuno dare to breathe. "How terrifying! Her eyes were like those of someone looking at an object, without a trace of human warmth."

Liangying nodded quickly in affirmation, especially since she looked at her for a few more seconds, almost making her think they had a deep-seated grudge.

"Who is she?" Ban asked the Grand Elder.

Uchiha Kangdao wiped away his cold sweat. "Young clan leader, she is Uchiha Nagi. She was a former member of the clan but betrayed the Uchiha clan five years ago. The clan leader has been searching for her all these years, and finally, all your efforts have paid off."

Izuna learned some shocking news from the elder's words: "She betrayed the Uchiha?"

"And he even belongs to the old faction?" Uchiha Kaku added in surprise.

Your identity is so contradictory, which arouses Madara's great curiosity.

"The clan head convened a clan meeting in the council hall. Would you young masters like to participate?" Uchiha Yasuo did not answer the question about you, but instead invited them.

"Okay." Madara Uchiha made the decision for them.

As they walked along the road, they kept asking Kangdao about your experiences, but Uchiha Kangdao remained silent.

Inside the council chamber, candlelight flickered amidst the carved beams and painted rafters, casting eerie shadows on the walls, as if also watching a power struggle about to unfold.

The tribespeople, dressed in traditional clothing, had different expressions, but all of them seemed to harbor a sense of unease.

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Tajima demanded, "Uchiha Yasutoshi, everyone is waiting for you."

Pushing open the door, the boys finally saw the situation inside. Almost all the elders and ninjas who had a voice in the clan were there.

"Clan Chief, we encountered some young masters on the way, which caused the delay." Kang Dao quickly bowed and invited them to go in first.

It turned out that the children had also come. Suddenly remembering something, Uchiha Tajima looked at his eldest son, "Madara, you've arrived just in time, saving the elders the trouble of making a special invitation. Come to my side."
