Itachi Reborn in Naruto: Joining Naruto's Squad from the Start

After going easy on his opponent in a one-on-one fight, Uchiha Itachi is reborn in a parallel universe after Sasuke gouges out his eyes.

In this universe, the Uchiha Clan never produced a prodigy named “Itachi,” and the Anbu are missing their youngest Chunin.

Uchiha Sasuke is an only child, and Konoha’s leaders never got the chance to move against the Uchiha Clan.

In the year 60 of Konoha, Uchiha Itachi is reborn in the forest during the Chunin Exams.

His body has returned to the age of twelve, the same age as the “Konoha Twelve.”

When Itachi meets Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, and Neji, who will prove to be the true genius?

Itachi: “The Konoha Twelve? Let’s see who’s the strongest!”

Orochimaru: “What? Sasuke came to me of his own accord? Tell him to get lost! Is his talent even worthy of being compared to Itachi’s?!”

Neji: “Itachi, you’re the first true genius I’ve ever met!”

Danzo: “Itachi, would you like to join Root? First, help me wipe out the Uchiha Clan, and I can make sure Sasuke survives.”

Itachi: “What do I care if Sasuke lives or dies? And you want me to ‘wipe out the clan’? I’ll start by hitting you with Kotoamatsukami!”

This time, Itachi is no longer shackled by crushing responsibilities. He’ll grow up normally, make the most of his talent, and rewrite the history of the Land of Fire.
