Night settled over the Uchiha Territory like a cloak of quiet embers.
The training fields were empty. Targets stood in rows like silent witnesses. Scorch marks and shuriken scars mapped the ground — proof of a clan that sharpened itself daily against war's inevitability.
Wind moved through the trees with a low whisper, stirring the banners bearing the Uchiha crest. Torches burned along the compound walls, their flames steady — disciplined — like Uchiha shinobi standing guard even in silence.
Keiji Uchiha sat alone atop the ancestral watchtower roof, legs folded, cloak draped behind him. His Sharingan was inactive, but his gaze was sharp — thoughtful — calculating.
Beside him, floating upside down in the air, was his shiny Gengar.
Its crimson eyes glowed faintly. A mischievous grin, yes — but tonight there was also expectation in that grin.
They had already decided.
Pokémon would become part of Uchiha daily life.
Not weapons alone.
Partners.
Family.
But if this was to happen… it could not be random.
It had to be precise.
Strategic.
Destined.
Keiji exhaled slowly.
"System," he spoke inwardly. "I need compatibility analysis."
A pulse of ghostly light flickered behind his pupils.
[Pokémon System Active]
[Clan Compatibility Mode Enabled]
Gengar clapped silently in midair.
Now we're talking.
"I want a list," Keiji said. "Perfect Pokémon partners — for my family and key Uchiha clan members. Not just combat power. Symbolism. Temperament. Fate resonance."
[Processing…]
[Bloodline + Chakra Nature + Psychological Profile + Destiny Thread Mapping…]
The air in front of him shimmered — forming translucent panels of light like floating glass screens.
Keiji narrowed his eyes.
"Show me."

Its aura was not.

The screens did not fade.
They multiplied.
Gengar leaned forward, interested now — this was no longer just family — this was clan architecture.
---

The Probability Shock
"…Everyone in my family received shiny-tier matches," Keiji said slowly.
[Bloodline Node: Uchiha Clan Head Branch]
[Destiny Distortion — MC Variable Applied]
[Shiny Probability Elevated]
Keiji stared.
"I changed the odds."
> [Affirmative]
"Not by action."
> [By presence.]
Gengar pointed at him and gave a silent laugh.
"You're saying my reincarnation bent probability threads."
> [Correct.]
Keiji leaned back, eyes on the stars.
"That's… bigger than planned."
---
Strategic Implications
He began thinking aloud — strategist mode fully engaged.
"Shiny partners signal destiny markers. If other clans observe pattern concentration inside Uchiha…"
He counted risks.
"Political suspicion."
"Kidnapping attempts."
"Bloodline experiments."
"Alliance pressure."
Gengar made a slicing motion across its throat in warning — not graphic, just decisive.
"Yes," Keiji agreed. "Exactly that level of consequence."
He opened a new system panel.
"Integration protocol draft."
---
Project Living Flame — Phase One
Inner family pairing first
Combat captain tier next
Medical + scout divisions third
Children last — supervised bonds only
Public explanation: summon contracts variant
True nature: restricted knowledge
> [Protocol Draft Saved]
Gengar gave a satisfied nod.
---
The Emotional Question
Keiji spoke more quietly now.
"Do they deserve this advantage… or this burden?"
Gengar tilted its head.
Keiji continued.
"Pokémon bonds are emotional amplifiers. Uchiha emotions already burn hot. This could stabilize them…"
He paused.
"…or ignite them."
Gengar floated closer and tapped his chest once.
Trust them.
Keiji smirked faintly. "You're biased."
Yes, Gengar agreed proudly.
---
The Detection Warning
Without warning, the system screen flickered red.
Not hostile.
But alert.
> [Integration Wave Detected — External Observer Probability Rising]
Keiji straightened instantly.
"Source?"
> [Unknown — Ancient Chakra Signature Pattern — Passive Awareness Triggered]
Gengar's grin disappeared.
That was rare.
"Ancient?" Keiji repeated.
No answer — only data noise.
Then—
A map projection of the continent.
A black ripple far away.
Watching.
Not moving.
Just… aware.
Keiji's voice dropped.
"…Something noticed the destiny shift."
Gengar slowly rotated upright.
Serious now.
The torches below flickered at the same time.
All of them.
Like a shared breath.
Then steadied again.
Keiji rose to his feet.
Decision complete. Path chosen.
"Phase One begins tomorrow," he said.
Gengar nodded.
Far beyond the Land of Fire—
A presence without heartbeat adjusted its attention toward the Uchiha flame.
The game board had changed.
And something old had looked up.
