Chapter 1: The Forgotten Legend

The full moon shone in the sky, dark clouds slowly passing over it.

Mito Uzumaki, with her tattered dress, used her last ounce of chakra to apply the seal as her final effort.

She didn't last much longer, falling to her knees right after applying the last seal, sweat and blood dripping from her body.

A voice filled with hatred reverberated through the dark sky, making her whole body tremble.

"Madara! You fool, falling into the Senju doctrine! Because of the establishment of Konoha, the Uchiha clan is doomed!"

"One day, I will break the seal and regain all my power!"

As his voice echoed, the entire ground trembled as if a terrible monster was about to emerge from it!

The once green earth around them turned into nothing more than a devastated wasteland.

Flames and ice covered the battlefield, even hills not too far away were split in half with a clean cut.

Several figures lay on the ground, utterly exhausted, gasping for breath.

The clothes on their bodies were burnt, and their skin exposed various burns.

Their chakra was completely depleted.

They could barely stand on the ground.

"Mito, he can be fully sealed now."

On Hashirama's face, traces of vapor remained. His armor was horribly cracked, and blood dripped from his forehead.

Thinking about the previous battle made his body tremble in horror.

This guy was incredibly strong.

Even when joining forces with Tobirama, Mito, Madara, and various other clans, including the Uchiha and the Senju, they could only seal him reluctantly!

"Do not be careless; this is the strongest ninja in the world, known throughout the ninja world!"

Madara, too, was exhausted, his eyes back to their regular black state due to excessive use of the Sharingan.

However, at the thought of Ryomen Uchiha, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Ryomen was an ordinary child of the Uchiha clan. But after he awakened the Sharingan, the speed of his strength's growth became frightening!

Even Madara was suppressed by him.

With an affinity for all five basic nature elements, Ryomen was proficient in all elemental ninjutsu.

An enigmatic and unpredictable sword made him awaken a powerful ice release that had never appeared in the ninja world before.

He awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan at an extremely young age and subsequently used his deceased brother's eyes to evolve it into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Because of his existence, the Uchiha clan became the number one in the world!

His achievements and prestige resonated throughout the world!

However, Ryomen was still unsatisfied with his power.

In a battle against the Senju clan, he managed to acquire a portion of Hashirama's cells and successfully transplanted them into his body, gaining the power of Mokuton.

He possessed the combined power of the Uchiha and the Senju.

All of this at the age of 23!

Madara feared his power, and even more so, his ambition!

The Senju clan, Sarutobi clan, Uzumaki clan, Shimura clan...

All these clans joined forces to kill Ryomen! The battle lasted for five days and five nights!

Even Sasuke Sarutobi, a legendary ninja on the battlefield, died in that battle.

In the end, only the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha clans remained with just over half their forces.

The rest had less than one-fifth of their strength left.

But even then, Ryomen couldn't be killed, even at the cost of numerous members from variousclans, including their leaders.

Therefore, the only remaining option was to seal him.

At the cost of her own life, Ashina Uzumaki, the leader of the Uzumaki clan, used a forbidden technique passed down through generations in the Uzumaki clan. He used the technique to extract Ryomen's powers and spread them throughout the ninja world, preventing him from breaking the seal.

Upon hearing Madara's words, Mito immediately responded,

"Don't worry! I applied every seal I know to him. After losing all his power, it's impossible for him to break the seal."

Madara looked at Mito coldly, and a hint of arrogance appeared in his voice.

"Huh, it's an Uchiha who can seal another Uchiha. I will make it a sanctuary. As long as Uchiha blood exists, the seal will remain."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama shrank back.

'This guy is afraid that the Senju will attack the Uchiha one day,' Tobirama thought. 'He is truly cautious.'

...

After that, there were no more obstacles from Ryomen Uchiha.

The first ninja village, Konohagakure no Sato, was established, built through the collaboration of many clans.

Hashirama's face was also reconstructed on the cliff that Ryomen had previously destroyed.

With the establishment of the first shinobi village, the rest of the world began to follow suit.

Several ninja villages were built and destroyed in the following years. In the end, five major ninja villages balanced each other in terms of power.

Ryomen's seal was transferred to an extremely heavy cube, which was then placed inside a stone and kept in a sanctuary, as Madara had said.

From this sanctuary, the Uchiha periodically reinforced Ryomen's seal by injecting their chakra into the stone, ensuring that the seal would not break.

However, over time, the people of the Uchiha clan had long forgotten the reason behind it and now believed it to be an ancient Uchiha tradition.

Just as Ryomen had hoped.

Soon after Konoha was established, conflicts between Madara and Hashirama erupted, and in the end, Madara died.

Shortly after, Hashirama passed away, and his brother, Tobirama Senju, succeeded him as the second Hokage.

With his power, he gradually began to suppress the Uchiha clan, and members of the Uchiha clan started sacrificing themselves for Konoha. The entire Uchiha clan forgot the splendor of the warring states.

Time passed.

However, even so, the contradiction between the two clans did not diminish; it only accumulated.

Until the reign of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. An incident pushed the entire Uchiha clan into an unfathomable abyss.

The Attack of the Nine-Tails.

The Sharingan's ability to manipulate the Nine-Tails made the Uchiha the prime suspects.

The contradiction between the village and the Uchiha worsened.

The authority of the Uchiha began to diminish. Conflict was inevitable but could be postponed. Until seven years after the Kyuubi attack.
