[Boruto]: I can't calm down!!
[Kakashi]: Kid, when you actually get a Sharingan, you'll wish you didn't.
[Boruto]: Huh? Why's that, Kakashi-sensei?
[Kakashi]: …Too many memories. Too much heartbreak.
[Obito]: …
[Minato]: Obito! How's life in the Pure Land treating you?
[Obito]: Hmph. Some teacher you were—you couldn't even tell your student was still alive!
[Tobirama]: Not right. I smell lies on this one.
[Madara]: ???
[Black Zetsu]: ???
[Hashirama]: Huh? What's with those faces, Madara? You too, Mr. Mudfish?
The tension thickened like storm clouds.
Fugaku's tone was cold, his expression sharp as steel.
"Even if we can't read the entire stone, Itachi—you've seen it. You know something's wrong with the village."
Itachi's eyes flickered. "Even if that's true, Father… using force to overturn everything—"
"Enough." Fugaku's voice cut through him like a blade.
"The elders fear us because they fear the Sharingan. They isolate us out of terror. They whisper about the legend of Uchiha Madara—about controlling the Nine-Tails—as if we're monsters waiting to rebel."
The audience erupted.
[Sarada]: Wait… the Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails?!
She blinked, dumbfounded. In her world, Sharingan was just a cool eye trick for aiming shuriken better.
[Izuna]: My dear descendant, you have no idea of the power in your veins!
[Raikage A]: Hah! Sharingan's overrated. Don't see what's so scary.
[Mei Terumī]: Same. Just fancy contact lenses if you ask me.
[Ōnoki]: Fools! You've never faced Perfect Susanoo. That power could split mountains!
[Rasa]: Ōnoki, you're just scared of ghosts from the past.
[Pain]: I am a god—no eye can touch me.
[Deidara]: Yeah! Our leader's untouchable, un!
[Hidan]: The boss is literally immortal, duh!
[Jiraiya]: …Wait—Yahiko? How did you—what happened to you, kid?!
Jiraiya's heart sank. When had his idealistic student turned into this cold-eyed "god"?
Fugaku's voice hardened again.
"If they fear us… then we'll make them bow. Only power earns peace."
He laid bare the vision his Mangekyō had shown him—Konoha in flames, the Nine-Tails tearing through the streets.
The future was drenched in blood.
Itachi trembled, drenched in sweat. He couldn't even break free of his father's genjutsu.
That alone proved it—Fugaku's ocular power eclipsed his own.
[Sarada]: What's going to happen now? Will Uncle Itachi still choose to protect Konoha?
[Boruto]: Either way, this is looking bad…
[Iwabe]: No kidding—Sarada's clan is terrifying!
In the classroom, all eyes turned to Sarada again.
Just hours ago, her classmates had laughed at her "weak clan."
Now? They were terrified.
So… her uncle's a prodigy with god-eyes. Her dad's a ghost assassin. Her grandpa predicted the future. And they all nearly toppled the village.
[Naruto]: Wow… Sasuke's dad was that strong? Does that mean my dad—
[Minato]:Ahahaha… let's not compare, son.
[Kushina]: Naruto! Your dad's the Fourth Hokage! Don't sell him short!
[Tobirama]: Why do I feel déjà vu…?
[Hashirama]: Tobiramaaa, don't call me dumb again! I'm smart!
[Tobirama]:Heh.
[Hashirama]: Madara, I'm smart, right?
[Madara]: Hm. Brilliant, as always.
[Hashirama]:Sniff—see? He gets me!
Back in the vision—
Fugaku's eyes glowed scarlet as he faced his son.
"Itachi… you have a place among them. You can strike when no one expects it.
Help me subdue the council. With your skill, we can stage a bloodless revolution."
"Bloodless…" Itachi repeated softly.
The words tasted like ash.
He could still see Sasuke's sleeping face. Could still hear his laughter.
And in that moment, he knew—no matter which side he chose, someone he loved would bleed.
That night, Itachi went to the village elders.
His voice was calm, but his eyes were hollow.
"The clan is preparing to move."
The era of peace had begun to rot from the inside.
[Sarada]: Why does it have to come to this? Can't Konoha and the Uchiha just coexist?
[Tobirama]: Impossible. Fear runs deep.
[Hashirama]: Oh, Madara… I failed you again…
[Madara]: Hmph. I told you, Hashirama—your dream without equality is just another cage.
And somewhere in the distance,
beneath the quiet hum of the sky-screen,
Sarada whispered to herself—
"I'll find a way to end this cycle… someday."
