A gentle breeze blew by. The pungent smell of blood slowly spread, enveloping a corner of the Uchiha compound. On the ground lay the bodies of the Uchiha clan, scattered haphazardly. It was a gruesome sight.
Seven-year-old Kazekaze stood in the middle of the pile of corpses, momentarily at a loss. It wasn't because he didn't know how to deal with these bodies. Rather... This was a completely unexpected situation, and he wasn't prepared at all.
'No matter what, the Sharingan is a good thing. If I had some nutrient solution, I could take all these eyes,' Kazekaze thought to himself. As for why he wasn't worried about dealing with the bodies, it was because he had just discovered while using the Kagura Mind's Eye that a ninja unit was rapidly approaching this place. The chakra of the leader was extremely familiar to Kazekaze. It was none other than Tobirama, the current leader of the Hidden Leaf Village.
'If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Anbu established by Tobirama that discovered the Uchiha clan's actions and reported it to him.' On one hand, he was the grandson of Hashirama and also Tobirama's grandson, making him the most promising successor to the future Hokage. Being the focus of Tobirama's attention was naturally understandable. On the other hand, Tobirama claimed to have no personal bias, monitoring the Uchiha clan for the sake of the village.
But... Why didn't he use the same method to monitor the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, or the Hyuga clan? Why was the police force he established only targeting the Uchiha clan? And why weren't there any members of the Sarutobi clan, Shimura clan, or Hyuga clan in the police force? Some things are best taken with a grain of salt. To say that Tobirama treated everyone equally and didn't deliberately exclude the Uchiha clan. Kazekaze didn't quite believe it.
'However... I should thank you all this time.' Kazekaze's lips curled up as he thought of a plan. No matter what, he was the grandson of Hashirama and Mito. These two individuals, one from the Senju clan and the other from the Uzumaki clan. From a bloodline perspective, it was impossible for him to awaken the Sharingan. But...
'Having awakened the Sharingan but being unable to use it is quite frustrating.' Looking at the bodies of those who had awakened the Sharingan, Kazekaze suddenly had an idea. A plan that would allow him to reasonably possess the Sharingan.
So, Kazekaze walked to Uchiha Setsuna's body, took a deep breath, and adjusted his breathing, mindset, and emotions. Although in the later stages of Naruto, taking someone's eyes became a routine operation, for the first time taking someone's eyes, Kazekaze still felt uncomfortable.
'Before I transmigrated, I was a medical student, but using such a crude method to take someone's eyes is a first for me...' In the original world, removing any organ from the human body required various auxiliary tools and careful cutting. It would never be as simple and crude as in Naruto. Especially the operation where Madara could use the eyes immediately after inserting them. To a medical student like Kazekaze, it was completely unscientific. It defied common sense.
Plop! After a round of complaints, Kazekaze took out both of Uchiha Setsuna's Sharingan and then took out a scroll from his body, sealing the Sharingan inside. Of course, Kazekaze didn't really intend to transplant the Sharingan. Firstly, Uchiha Setsuna was unrelated to him, and even if he transplanted them, there would likely be rejection reactions. Secondly, neither he nor Setsuna had the Mangekyo Sharingan, so upgrading to the Eternal Mangekyo through transplantation was basically impossible. Thirdly, he was a genuine Three Tomoe Sharingan, while Setsuna only had Two Tomoe. Even a fool could tell which was better.
The reason he did this was to create an illusion. That he had secretly transplanted the Sharingan. This way, in the future, when he activated the Sharingan in front of Tobirama or Hashirama, there would be a reasonable explanation.
'Although Kakashi and Danzo have already proven that transplanted Sharingan cannot be closed by non-Uchiha people, in this era, no one has done such a thing yet.' In other words, in the era Kazekaze was in, no one knew what would happen if a non-Uchiha person transplanted the Sharingan. Since no one knew, he could make up whatever he wanted. Even if someone really tried to verify it with him, Kazekaze could use the excuse "people's physiques cannot be generalized" to brush it off. Don't ask. If you ask, it's because my physique is better than yours.
When Kazekaze completed this operation, he used Wood Release to destroy Setsuna's face, creating an effect where during the battle, Setsuna's face was destroyed. On the surface, it looked like Setsuna's Sharingan wasn't taken, but upon closer inspection, one could find that his eyes were missing.
Based on Kazekaze's understanding of Tobirama, it was unlikely that he wouldn't secretly study the bodies of the Uchiha clan. Because during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Tobirama told Orochimaru and others about the principles of the Sharingan. Even Sasuke, who was an Uchiha, didn't know about this. If Tobirama hadn't conducted extensive research, Kazekaze wouldn't believe it.
'Most importantly, being able to develop a forbidden technique like Edo Tensei, Tobirama must have done a lot of human research in secret.' Knowing that Tobirama would do such things, Kazekaze laid out his plan in advance. When Tobirama discovered this in the future, he could reveal everything. 'I think the Sharingan looks cool. I want one, is that not allowed?'
After Kazekaze laid the groundwork for his next plan, Tobirama arrived with the Anbu ninjas, fashionably late.
"Kazekaze, are you alright?" As soon as Tobirama landed, he hurriedly checked Kazekaze's condition. Whether it was his tone or his expression, he seemed a bit anxious.
'Hmm?' However, Kazekaze was completely confused. This question shouldn't be directed at him, right?
Soon, Tobirama realized this. After surveying the surroundings, his worried expression instantly turned into one of disbelief. A dozen Uchiha elites lay in pools of blood. Their deaths were extremely tragic. Tobirama even noticed that these people had expressions of dying with grievances. And the Anbu ninjas who came with him, ready for battle, were now all feeling a chill down their spines.
There were no other ninjas around. Only Kazekaze was here. In other words... These dozen Uchiha people were all wiped out by Kazekaze? But, is that even possible? He's only seven years old, right?
"Wait, look over there..." An Anbu ninja suddenly exclaimed, pointing at an Uchiha corpse with wide-open eyes, attracting everyone's attention. The deceased's eyes were clearly red pupils, with distinct Three Tomoe. It was the Sharingan! Upon closer inspection, they found that all these people were geniuses who had awakened the Sharingan!
