I died in a duel with the Damn Big Chicken.
Teaming up with the Damn Big Chicken, sharing a boat and a bed while secretly scheming against each other, then turning on each other and dying together: that's basic Uchiha behavior. Don't make a big deal out of it.
But I'm a mixed-blood Uchiha, and mixed-blood means weak. So in the end, I was the one who died.
Ugh, what a disgrace to the Uchiha name.
In a daze, I heard my cheap old man in the underworld cursing me out.
Even after I died and was shoved into a coffin, I still shouted with all my might:
In my next life, I'm going to be a genius Uchiha!

I came back to life. This time, I was a pure-blooded Uchiha.
Heaven has eyes!
I was ecstatic. I drew up eight hundred plans: I'd enter the Ninja Academy at five, become a genin at seven, make jonin at ten, join the Anbu at twelve, sweep the shinobi world at sixteen, and claim the Hokage seat at seventeen. Hahaha!
The Uchiha clan was massacred.
Massacred.
Apart from me, only the clan leader's youngest son survived.
Poor kid. Of course I'd raise him properly, while becoming Hokage on the side.
Competing for the Hokage position gets easier the second time around.
In my previous life, I was a mixed-blood Uchiha who only joined Konoha after my father died, and I still became a candidate for the Third Hokage. There's no way I'd settle for being Sasuke's adoptive older sister in this life.
The fox's child, that Hyuga prodigy, the snake-like experiment fanatic who is neither man nor woman, the deranged defector from the clan and my fiancé, the masked man from outside the village who claims to be my dad: all of them can be put to use.
A good Hokage contender knows how to unite every force that can be united.
The Hokage seat will be mine in no time.
