[Is there still a surviving member of the Uchiha clan besides the three of you?]
[This question had been lingering in your mind for some time.]
[To uncover the truth, you hurriedly told Qin and then followed the mysterious child.]
[You followed the child into a hidden cave, where you found many more children who looked exactly like him. They all possessed Sharingan.]
[From their conversation, you learned that their father had ordered them to immediately head to Konoha and capture Uchiha Sarada.]
[Your temper flared. Who dared threaten your sister's life?!]
[You revealed yourself and swiftly eliminated all the children with just a few blows.]
[To your surprise, after years of not training, you found your strength had grown exponentially compared to four years ago.]
[You didn't have time to think about how that worked. Fearing for Sarada's safety, you quickly returned to the village, explained the situation to Qin's grandfather and Qin, and rushed towards Konoha.]
[Five days later, you sensed a battle taking place not far from the outskirts of Konoha.]
[You arrived at the scene and found the group of children with Sharingan attacking Sarada and Akimichi Chocho.]
[Hiding in the trees, you saw the two of them struggling, facing imminent danger.]
[You couldn't stop yourself from leaking a bit of your chakra but quickly suppressed it.]
[Just as one of the children was about to strike Sarada with a blade, you were about to act, but then Sasuke appeared on the battlefield. He kicked the child away, saving Sarada.]
[Naruto, the Seventh Hokage, followed shortly after, appearing at the center of the battlefield.]
[When you saw them, you stopped, remaining hidden in the trees, silently observing the situation.]
[Sasuke and Naruto coordinated perfectly. Together, they were able to protect Sarada and Chocho without letting the children land a single blow.]
[Soon, the mastermind revealed himself. In a conversation with Sasuke and Naruto, you learned his name was Uchiha Shin. He was one of Orochimaru's former test subjects.]
[Those children were nothing but his clones.]
[Uchiha Shin deeply revered Uchiha Itachi and viewed Uchiha Sasuke, who killed Itachi, as a disgrace to the Uchiha clan. He sought to revive the "Akatsuki" and eliminate anyone living peacefully, along with those who hindered him.]
[Shin misinterpreted everything that Itachi did and rejected the value of peace, believing that only through constant war, like what Itachi and the "Akatsuki" did, could humanity evolve.]
[Though Uchiha Shin was powerful, he was no match for Sasuke and Naruto working together. He was soon severely injured and began to retreat, using his clones to cover his escape.]
[You silently followed them.]
[When Shin reached his base, you made your move, massacring everyone inside.]
[Amidst the bloodshed and carnage, the only one left standing, Uchiha Shin, fearfully shouted at you, "Who are you?"]
["Uchiha Shiro."]
[You easily deflected Shin's blades, which were controlled by his Mangekyō Sharingan, and casually answered his question.]
["Go to hell with your clones. Shattered Realm!"]
[You activated your right eye's Mangekyō ability, Shattered Realm, tearing apart the space around Shin and his clones into countless fragments, which were then devoured by the void.]
[As the void slowly repaired itself, you turned to leave but halted when you noticed Naruto and Sasuke had appeared behind you.]
["Come back to the village."]
[Sasuke's words were still as blunt as ever, but seeing him protect Sarada with everything he had during the battle, you couldn't help but view him in a slightly different light.]
[At least now, you were willing to talk to him.]
[You explained to Sasuke that you had a premonition that Sarada would die if she saw you again.]
[Sasuke didn't press you to return to Konoha but asked for the location of your village.]
[You told him where it was, bid him and Naruto farewell, and set off for home.]
[When you arrived back, your first priority was to find Qin.]
[Qin greeted you warmly as always, her smile as gentle as ever.]
["Welcome back."]
[In that moment, all your fatigue seemed to vanish.]
[Year 13: Otsutsuki Kinshiki and Momoshiki attacked Konoha and captured the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki.]
[Sasuke sent you a message, asking for your help.]
[You quickly put on a mask, activated your "Chasing Void" technique, and appeared above Konoha.]
[Upon arrival, you swiftly teamed up with Sasuke, Boruto, and the other Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Nations. Together, through a portal summoned by Sasuke, you headed to rescue Naruto.]
[As you entered the portal, you felt a strange sensation. From a distance, Sarada seemed to sense something and softly called out to you, "Big Brother..."]
[You succeeded in rescuing Naruto from Otsutsuki Momoshiki, and the group began to engage in battle with the Otsutsuki duo.]
[The battle raged on for hours. Kinshiki was trapped by the Tsuchikage, and Momoshiki's chakra was nearly exhausted.]
[You thought the battle would soon end, but unexpectedly, Momoshiki consumed Kinshiki, and his body began to transform.]
[After the transformation, his chakra was fully restored, and his strength greatly increased.]
["Hahahahaha! How could mere ants like you defeat me?! Hahahahaha!"]
[For some reason, after hearing Momoshiki's maddening laughter, you felt an urge to laugh like him, but you quickly suppressed it.]
[Seeing Momoshiki so arrogant, you couldn't help but taunt him.]
["You're just a speck of sand, nowhere near my level."]
[The taunt worked—Momoshiki ignored everyone else and focused solely on you, relentlessly attacking with his powerful techniques.]
[You were soon pinned to the ground by him, receiving one jutsu after another. He kept shouting insults at you while attacking.]
["What's the dog barking at? Who do you think you are, trying to act tough in front of me?!"]
["You want to play with me, Otsutsuki Momoshiki? Hah!"]
[Despite the others relentlessly attacking from behind, trying to draw his attention, Momoshiki didn't care and focused entirely on you.]
[You were astonished by his fixation.]
[The assault continued until Sasuke finally struck Momoshiki through the heart, and Naruto sent him flying into space with a Rasengan.]
[After the battle, you noticed a strange diamond-shaped mark appeared on your left palm.]
["Big Brother, is that you?"]
[When you returned to Konoha, the first person you saw running towards you was Sarada. Panicked, you quickly activated "Chasing Void" and left Konoha.]
[Once back in your village, your first visit was once again to Qin.]
[Qin greeted you warmly as ever, saying, "Welcome back."]
[In that moment, you felt at peace once again.]
