After eight years since transmigrating, Zhao Zheng finally gets the chance to enter the Hall of Reincarnation.
He glances at the revered "Survival Guide" and casually tosses it into the trash.
Choose Sarutobi? To be cannon fodder?
Choose Shimura? To take the blame for Danzō?
As the only one who knows the story, Zhao Zheng picks Uchiha from the start, with his sights set on the progenitor of chakra: the Ōtsutsuki!
On the surface, he's Konoha's perfect heir to the "Will of Fire." Behind the scenes, he's the mastermind manipulating the Shinobi World's fate.
In Kakashi's eyes, he's a life mentor who points the way forward;
In the Third Hokage's eyes, he's a double agent more perfect than Itachi;
In Madara Uchiha's eyes, he's an unfathomable junior from the clan.
When the night of the clan's massacre arrives and everyone thinks he's as good as dead, he stands atop the moon, looking down on all creation:
"Itachi, your ambition is too small. My goal is the stars and the sea."
