Uchiha

Konoha Year 46, winter.

Heavy snow is coming, and along with it, the dark clouds of war will soon cover the entire Shinobi World.

As the number of frictions on borders gradually increased, all countries began to prepare for war at the same time.

The Shinobi World at this time was like a powder keg. A spark might fly from somewhere and cause a huge explosion that would engulf everyone in the world.

Food prices soared, the purchase of medicines and weapons increased significantly, and all ninjas on leave were recalled… 

In Konoha, even the common people far away from the power center have noticed it.

The next Shinobi World War is not far away.

However, all this seems to have little to do with the Shiratori family…

It's not that he looks down on the inevitable Third Shinobi World War, but Shiratori's father seems to have more pressing problems to solve.

For example…

"Damn it! Why are there still no customers?"

Shiratori: "…"

"Son, think of a solution! Let alone the rent, we can't even pay the electricity bill!"

Shiratori: "…"

"How about… I sneak into Ramen Ichiraku tonight and steal their recipe. Or maybe I can put some laxatives in there and set them up?"

"Dad, you're not even a ninja. Be careful that Mr. Teuchi will hit you with a rolling pin and send you to the Konoha Military Police Force."

Shiratori finally couldn't bear it anymore.

What the hell is this idea?

My dad is still as unreliable as ever…

"It doesn't matter. They are all my relatives there. They will release me after a few hours at most."

"You've even thought of a way out. You really don't even have the confidence to face a fight."

"Ahhhh! Why is everyone going to Ramen Ichiraku? What's so good about their place? They don't even have a decent store!"

"Maybe the boss seems more reliable."

"Son, it's already this late; stop teasing me…"

In Konoha, in a small ramen shop near the Uchiha Clan's territory.

A young man was frantically holding the account book while the five-year-old Shiratori beside him was preparing to go out for training.

After traveling to this world, he thought he had a great start…

To be frank, in terms of bloodline, he, Shiratori, might be the most noble person in the world… But this nobility itself represents wrong.

Shiratori's unreliable father is named Toyotaka Uchiha… Oh no, there is no Uchiha, just Toyotaka, because he has been gloriously expelled from the family.

He is the son of the previous Uchiha Clan head and also the elder brother of the young and promising new Clan head, Fugaku Uchiha.

Shiratori's mother was from the Senju clan and died of a sudden illness when he was half a year old.

This is bad.

The Senju and Uchiha have been enemies for generations, and their hatred has lasted for years. Even though they jointly founded the Konoha, they were unable to eliminate the natural gap between them.

These two families are absolutely not allowed to intermarry.

Besides, Shiratori's mother is not just an ordinary member of the Senju clan. 

Shiratori's maternal grandfather is named Takiichi Senju, the previous head of the Senju clan who has already retired from the world and the father of Takiichi Senju and the great-grandfather of Shiratori is the famous second Hokage of Konoha, Tobirama Senju!

So when the Uchiha top leaders learned that the son of their family's head had eloped with the granddaughter of Tobirama Senju, they were so angry that they almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.

How could the son of the Clan head do such a thing?

Even if you, Toyotaka Uchiha, have no talent, haven't opened your Sharingan, and are not even a ninja… That won't work!

Who doesn't know what the Uchiha Clan's attitude towards Tobirama Senju? If conditions allow it, they would have wanted to dig Tobirama Senju out of his grave and punch him every morning, noon, and night to whip his corpse…

The attitude of the Senju clan is no less hostile.

To this day, most of the Senju clan are still resentful of the death of the first Hokage. They attribute the untimely death of Hashirama Senju entirely to the duel with Madara Uchiha.

What's more, these are the two families whose historical grievances cannot be cleared up.

So after the two families jointly established the Hidden Leaf Village, they once again reached a consensus for the first time.

Bring these two bastards back!

Who would have thought that when the two of them were found in a small mountain village in the Land of Fire, they saw the two people's eyes that did not flinch and a newly born Shiratori in its cradle…

"Yes, we have a child."

What to do after the rice has been cooked… It is always a historical problem.

Given their identities, the final punishment was not painful at all: Toyotaka and his wife were expelled from their respective families and stripped of the last names of Uchiha and Senju.

Well, that's all.

Sometimes, Shiratori would think that if his grandfather in this life were not the head of their respective families, he would probably have drowned on the day he crossed over…

People with connections have privileges!

"Wait a moment!"

"What?" 

Shiratori had already pushed the door half open and turned to look at his cheap father.

Toyotaka threw a purse over and said: "Go shopping first, as usual."

"Dad, can't you go by yourself? I still need to practice!"

"Hey, hey, isn't there a discount if you buy it?"

Shiratori rolled his eyes.

...…

The Uchiha Clan's territory is the most unique place in Konoha.

The core area is centered around the Konoha Military Police Force building, with mansions closely adjacent to each other, the smallest of which is almost as big as the main residences of other minor ninja clans.

The elegantly shaped pavilions, the vast area, and the Uchiwa shaped family emblem painted on every wall… All reflect the pride and confidence of the noble Uchiha Clan.

The most lively place in the clan is the commercial street.

Grocery stores, restaurants, clothing stores, snack stands… Even if you turn right at the end of the street, you can see a fairly large hospital.

The Uchiha Clan's territory looks like a city within a city or little Konoha.

In the commercial street, the tiny Shiratori was struggling to carry the large and small bags, and the scene looked extremely incongruous.

"Well..."

There is no business; why buy so many ramen ingredients…

He felt a little helpless.

On the way, the surrounding residents greeted him enthusiastically.

"Shiratori has grown taller!"

"He has grown up so fast and is almost old enough to go to school."

"Wow, Shiratori! Let me pinch your cheeks!"

"That bastard Toyotaka is exploiting you again! Damn it, what an irresponsible father!"

Shiratori greeted the residents enthusiastically with a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.

When he was a child, he helped his father buy things in the clan as soon as he learned to walk. He thought that he would be discriminated against and hated because of his parents, and he also imagined that the drama of 'don't bully the young and poor' would happen…

It turned out that he was overthinking it.

The Uchiha Clan members did have a lot of dissatisfaction with his father, but this dissatisfaction did not extend to him.

On the contrary, due to the unexpected misfortune of being expelled from the family and deprived of the last name, Uchiha, just after birth, the residents here have more pity for him…

Coupled with his innate smartness that's achieved much earlier than usual, sweet mouth and cute appearance, he is loved by almost all the residents.

In fact, the Uchiha Clan members also have some contradictory attitudes towards Shiratori's father.

Toyotaka Uchiha, who wandered carefree in the clan territory every day during his childhood… He was also the child they had watched grow up.

So when they learned about their family's poverty… These inherently evil Uchiha people hated Toyotaka for marrying a woman from the Senju clan, but at the same time, they gave discounts to Shiratori when he purchased things for all kinds of lame reasons.

Among them: "Toyotaka is hateful but Shiratori cannot be left hungry" is the one that appears most frequently.

Not only civilians but also ninjas from Uchiha helped silently. For example, there was an unwritten rule in the clan that all ninjas who were on a mission had to go to Toyotaka's ramen shop for a meal after the mission was completed.

This is why their ramen shop with no flavor or aroma has not closed down yet.

As he walked, Shiratori passed by a pancake shop.

Kaori Uchiha, who was cleaning up the garbage at the door, warmly invited him to come into the store and sit down. 

Shiratori had no choice but to agree.

Teiyaki Uchiha, who was reading a newspaper in the store, saw Shiratori and brought out a plate of freshly-fried pancakes with a smile.

"Uncle Teiyaki, I don't have any money, so I won't eat… "Shiratori waved his hands.

"What's the matter with money? This is Auntie's treat for you! Come on, eat it while it's still hot."

Kaori Uchiha touched Shiratori's little head.

Shiratori didn't act pretentiously. He picked up the pancake and started eating it, feeling warm in his heart.

The vast majority of the Uchiha Clan are ordinary people like the two couples.

They are not ninjas; they are just ordinary people who live simple lives.

They have no idea of ​​the internal struggles of the village, do not understand the Will of fire, do not care about family ambitions, and just want to live their own lives.

They are proud of being from the Uchiha Clan and also recognize their identity as Konoha's people from the bottom of their hearts.

Perhaps more than a decade later, when they are ruthlessly murdered in their sleep by some genius filial son, in that dream from which they can never wake up, all they dream are just some trivial matters of life.

Shiratori suddenly felt that the fragrant pancake in his hand was a little tasteless.

His thoughts gradually drifted away, thinking of the young boy who had just been born and exterminated, his unreliable father, some familiar people, Roots, and Danzo, that sinister and disgusting maggot of the Shinobi World…

"Oh, by the way, Shiratori, those two little guys, Arata and Toru, are back, but they seem to have gotten into some trouble…"

Teiyaki put down the newspaper and thought about it, feeling a little uncertain.

"Aren't they following Uncle Yashiro to carry out the mission?"

"Yes, a clansman saw Yashiro returning to the village just now. He was furious and walked into the gate holding the two little guys by the collars in each hand… It is said that he was covered in wounds, and his eyebrows were burned off!"

"Well..."

Yashiro Uchiha is a Jōnin. Although he is not a top ninja, he is a Uchiha who has awakened his Sharingan after all. It is rare to see him in such a miserable image.

Shiratori scratched his head and suddenly remembered that if he followed that unwritten rule, those people seemed to be… Eating noodles in their ramen shop?

There are melons to eat!

...…

Shiratori carried a big bag that was taller than himself on his shoulder and ran towards their ramen shop.

On a street corner not far away, an old man and a young boy were peeping.

"Grandfather..."

"Stop talking nonsense and find an opportunity!"

"This… It's not good to beat him up for no reason, right?"

"Beat him up? It's hard to say who will win or lose."

"You are looking down on me; he is only five years old…"

"Five years old, so what? Did you forget something?"

"What?"

"That brat had his Sharingan activated when he was born!"
