You Were Supposed to Prevent the Clan Massacre, and You Carried Shisui's Corpse in a Parade

Take one step back, and you'll be torn to pieces. Hold back for a moment, and your whole clan will be executed.

Reborn into a new life, Uchiha Chiba finally understood:

The only person you can trust is yourself!

But less than a year remained before the night of the Uchiha massacre, and his novice mission demanded that he "die in front of a crowd and receive an immortal body" as his reward.

Chiba just wanted to carry Shisui's corpse to the Hokage building, provoke an attack, and get himself killed, while saving the Uchiha along the way.

But soon he furrowed his brow, realizing things weren't that simple.

Uchiha Fugaku: "An orphan in our clan, only ten years old, dared to prove his resolve with his own death! Konoha stole Shisui's eye and killed one of my juniors in broad daylight. This time, I will not hold back! Mangekyo, awaken!"

Danzo: "Impossible! I pierced his heart with my own hands and burned him to ashes with Fire Release! How could he be standing in front of the building again without a scratch?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Wait, what do you mean the Uchiha aren't staging a coup, and what do you mean the entire clan has carried Chiba's coffin to the entrance of the Hokage building, demanding that I pay for their blood with mine?"

Obito: "Itachi, there's no need to doubt it. That boy named Chiba is the one who truly sees through the world and moves the pieces."

Itachi: "But he hasn't even awakened his Sharingan. He's just an ordinary child..."

Obito: "He's a terrifying man. I've killed him three times, and every time he came smiling out from behind me. With him around, the Eye of the Moon Plan will be near impossible!"

Sasuke: "Big Brother Chiba, please train me. I swear I'll make the higher-ups who schemed against the Uchiha pay!"

Uchiha Chiba smiled and patted his head. "Learn this move, 'killing with a borrowed knife.' Once you've mastered and understood it, you'll be able to sweep across the shinobi world."
