Is the Uchiha Clan's Reversal Technique Any Good?

Everyone thought she had lost her memory from overwhelming grief, and looked at her with pity.

But her amnesia didn't have much impact on her life. She simply didn't have the memories they said she was supposed to have. She hadn't lost anything else.

She still remembered her older brother, her sweet little sister, and her difficult younger brother. They were a happy family of four, living in one of Tokyo's most affluent neighborhoods.

As for everything else... The things she couldn't remember probably weren't that important, right? Otherwise, why would she have forgotten them?

Besides, memories kept flashing back to her. She'd remember everything sooner or later, so she wasn't in a hurry.

The one thing she was impatient about was not being able to see her family right now.

[What should she do? She kind of missed her unreliable older brother.]

Feeling listless, Tsumugi once again ignored the little tomatoes at home and the little crow outside.

"So! When did Tsumugi-nee meet all those people none of us know?!" Sasuke, Uchiha Tsumugi's actual younger brother, was so angry today that he stabbed through six wooden posts with his kunai.

Far away in Amegakure, Itachi once again crushed the soldier pill he'd bought from the Cat Granny. How many times was this now? How many times had he heard the names of other people from his fiancee's lips through a crow's body?!

Itachi is the pairing. Sasuke is her younger brother. The main plot is about the ninja world, and it takes center stage.

[Major Content Warnings]

1. On the night of the Uchiha massacre, the male lead kills the female lead for the greater good. She only comes back to life through her own efforts.

2. Later on, the male lead shamelessly chases after the female lead. He can't help it, he likes her and cares about her. He regrets killing her, and now he panics whenever anything happens to her. He has to follow her around.

3. He was willing to die so Sasuke could obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Even though he regrets killing the female lead when he grows up, and still loves her, he decides to follow through with his original plan and leave Sasuke a bright future. Anyway, his younger brother will grow stronger, and he can protect the female lead too. (They all grew up together; Sasuke wouldn't abandon her.) (Though the female lead doesn't actually need him to protect her.)

4. The male lead is Uchiha Itachi! He's the difficult, messed-up, obsessive type who hasn't read much political theory and puts the greater good above everything! He's not a good person! I'm not going to whitewash him, but I'm not going to make him worse than he is either.

5. The female lead gets stronger after Chapter 40. Don't rush to ask why she's so weak despite having the Six Eyes. There's a reason.

6. The romance between the leads develops in the middle and later parts. The story is mainly told from the female lead's perspective, and it's not all romance.

I hope you enjoy the story.

Coming soon: She Says She's Just an Ordinary Keiko. Please add it to your favorites!

Blurb: Keiko is such an ordinary name. It expresses her traditional parents' simple hope that she'd grow up beautiful and virtuous. They never expected their daughter to enter the Ninja Academy at seven and begin a life as a ninja.

Since her parents weren't even ordinary ninjas, Keiko never quite fit in with the class. Everything the others discussed was new to her. Even after graduation, when the teams were assigned, she joined an established genin squad that was short on members. She rarely saw the others, and only remembered that Keiko had graduated in the same year when they happened to run into her on the street.

It was fine. After all, her heart had room for only that one person.

Only she knew why she'd come here. Later, she told Sasuke the reason.

It was rare to see the usually cold and taciturn boy blush. At the time, they were secretly dating right under everyone's noses.

"I wanted to become a ninja like you because I like you."

But they eventually broke up peacefully, on the night Sasuke defected.

*

Late at night, Sasuke leaped in through the window, bringing the cold wind with him. He stood before Keiko without a word and simply held her.

Seeing the bundle on his back, Keiko smiled helplessly. Her heart was bitter, but she understood what he meant.

"I'm leaving." He straightened up and looked down at her.

"Mm, I know." She knew she couldn't stop him. How could her love outweigh his hatred over the massacre? Itachi's appearance had left him on edge. He could no longer stay in Konoha and play house with her as if nothing were wrong.

"Take care of yourself. Training will be hard."

For a long time, he only looked at her, as if they might never meet again and he wanted to remember her forever.

"So we're breaking up, right?"

"Of course." She smiled.

The protagonist, burdened by his family's hatred, had a mission to fulfill. How could she hold him back?

She was just ordinary Keiko. She couldn't help him with anything.

It's only the female lead who says she's ordinary.
