Chapter 4: Prologue
(Kusagakure)
(Near the End of 3rd Ninja War)
I sighed as I looked at the mission scroll.
They really want to kill me huh?
I burnt away the scroll, and rested in the camp.
There are three hours left before the mission starts.
I have truly reincarnated in this world at the worst time. It is probably even worse than Warring Clans Era. Atleast I wouldn't have to be so cautious about backstabbing in that era.
After dying to assassination, I reincarnated into the world of Naruto, as an Uchiha. And out of my 17 years of this life, I have spent 7 years in battlefield.
Sigh... My previous life was good. I was the only daughter of one of the richest man in the world. While my older brothers were preparing for managing the business, I was studying to enter a new field of IoT and robotics for our conglomerate.
But, while I was working on a prosthetic robotic arm that can be controlled via an alternative of Neuralink that our scientists have created, I was suddenly stabbed by the engineer assisting me.
It was probably the work of CIA. It has a history of assassinating competition.
And I got reincarnated into the world of Naruto, where someone even worse than CIA is ruling the village behind the shadows. Danzo. And I reincarnated as an Uchiha. During the war.
Third Ninja War has been going on for 9 years already, and 14-15 if we count the skirmishes.
Skirmishes didn't really stop even after the Second Ninja War officially ended.
And this time, it is Konoha vs All. Perhaps due to my interference, Iwa hasn't betrayed Kumo and the Third Raikage is still alive, proving a challenge to Minato. Third Raikage can't kill Minato because of his speed, and Minato can't kill Raikage because of his defence.
Yet, even in this intense situation, the village politics is at work. Majority of the Uchiha clan is sent to fight against Kiri, even though everyone knows that fire is weak against water and Sharingan is barely of much use against hiding in the mist jutsu.
Till now, only Raikage himself is on the battlefield, and all other Kages are remaining inside their villages, free from any danger.
No matter how scummy Kumo is to others, atleast they are very good to their own people.
And I am stuck in Kusa against Iwa. I have vapourised several Iwa camps with Kirin, and my contribution is no less than Minato.
Yet, I wasn't given any forbidden jutsu, like the Flying Thunder God that I so desparately need. It is the perfect jutsu for escaping.
I had to rely on Uchiha library, and myself. I have created several jutsus like Chidori and it's variants, Rasengan, Kirin, Itachi's crow substitution, and even created a ninjutsu storage and absorption gauntlet to conserve my chakra.
Hell, I even managed to combine the taijutsu I have copied from Might Duy and include Tsunade's chakra enhanced strength.
My team was trash, with the Jonin-sensei as strong as Kurenai in canon, with nothing to reach me.
I am such a genius, yet the village is fully intent on getting rid of me.
On my last mission, Onoki's son, who was supposed to be in Rain village as per the intelligence, was waiting for ambushing me in the route to the Iwa camp that I was about to vapourise.
Thankfully, I had already recreated Konan's paper jutsu and along with my genjutsu, I was able to kill him, using about 10,000 explosive tags.
The Aburame sensor who was guiding me was 'killed' by 'Onoki's son'. He was obviously a ROOT member. That's why I am fully covered and constantly on the edge, that I should not let even a mosquito bite me in this country full of mosquitoes. Afterall, a mosquito was a big reason of Shisui's death.
After a while, my 'teammates' of the mission arrived.
One from Shimura clans, one from Yamanaka clan, and one from Aburame clan.
Yup. Totally not suspicious.
"I will be blunt. I don't trust you guys after what the Aburame guy pulled last time. I will take Hizashi. Just hand over the intelligence."
The Yamanaka guy said seriously.
"Are you serious? You are being suspicious of your own village?"
"The Aburame guy last time was colluding with Onoki's son, leading me into the trap. He even tried to poison me. And look who Hokage-sama has sent.
Hand over the intelligence, and fill in for whatever Hizashi is doing. Otherwise, I am not going."
The Yamanaka guy, who seemed like the leader of the trip, sighed and nodded.
"Alright."
...They agreed so easily?
Oh. Is it Han or Roshi, or both waiting for me?
I can handle Roshi, but Han is a completely different matter.
Afterall, he could match KCM1 Naruto. And among the tailed beasts, after Kurama and Gyuki, Five-tails with boil release is probably the strongest.
Well, good thing that I have learnt how to fly using the paper wings. And gotten the hawk too.
Unless Onoki appears, I should be fine-
Suddenly, I felt immense danger, and barely dodged, putting forward my ninjutsu absorption gauntlet.
"Aaaarggggh-!"
I couldn't feel my arm. Only blood flowing out that I automatically started stopping using medical ninjutsu.
I didn't have time to think, so I turned into papers and started fleeing, constantly changing directions with my crows going in all directions, having myself transformed into a crow.
And I was horrified. Onoki was hovering over the camp, which has vanished, with whoever survived fleeing in all directions.
Freaking Onoki is here! And he took out my dominant arm!
I need to escape-
"Don't think you can escape. I can tell the difference between the genjutsu blood dropping and your real blood. Afterall, I am flying above you and can see all shadows.
This is for killing my son!"
I did everything to try to dodge, and even used my ninjutsu absorption to prevent turning into dust.
But I don't have Rinnegan! I can only absorb limited amount of chakra!
I barely managed to absorb some of the Dust Release, dodged, and shot back the dust release at him.
All my tiny scrolls in this gauntlet are used up.
"You can reflect back my ninjutsu!? You are too dangerous! I will kill you here and now!"
Thankfully, I had caught him off guard by using his jutsu, and that was enough for me to put him under genjutsu.
But I was under no illusion that he will not break out from it immediately and realise that the crow that he is following is not me.
I tried escaping, but suddenly, the Dust Release was about to hit me.
'No! I don't want to die! Please let me escape this accursed world!'
But, no one heard my internal ramblings, and upon contact, my transformation was undone, and my legs were gone in an instant.
And I was gone too.
