Time travel

In the forests of the Land of Fire lies a vast ninja village, Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village), home to many bloodline clans. It was founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans during the Warring States period. Now, the Uchiha clan is weak and relegated to a corner, placed in prison, while the Senju clan has long since disappeared from Konoha.

The Uchiha's private training grounds have a small lake where they practice Fire Release techniques; the water prevents them from setting the forest ablaze. On a wooden platform by the lake lies a girl of about ten years old. A gentle breeze ruffles her black hair, her bangs lightly brushing against the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, adding a touch of allure and languid charm. Even with her eyes closed, her delicate beauty is captivating.

As expected of the Uchiha clan, known for their beauty, she is exceptionally beautiful and refined at such a young age, like a budding red rose.

The girl's name was Uchiha Izumi, and she was 12 years old. She would be graduating from the Ninja Academy in a few days. Izumi had a lover she shared feelings for, Uchiha Itachi, a famous genius in her clan. Everything should have been going very well for them. But things took an unexpected turn. A few days ago, two male classmates got into a fight at school, and she was pushed against a wall, hitting her head and falling unconscious. She was taken to the infirmary.

Quan awakened a terrifying memory: under the cover of night, her lover took a knife and killed many, many people, including her own blood relatives. Then, he gave her an illusion that she would live a happy and fulfilling life, and then plunged the knife that had killed so many of her people into her chest.

Izumi saw her Sharingan gouged out by others, saw the Uchiha corpses strewn across the ground, saw her clansmen with empty eye sockets everywhere, and saw her lover, like a demon, wielding his sword to reap the lives of the elderly, women, and children. The girl was completely devastated, unable to accept such a cruel reality.

Izumi loves Itachi, so she can't hate him. Izumi loves her family, so she can't forgive him. One is a cruel reality, the other is a beautiful illusion; the sense of separation is unbearable for a girl who is only 13 years old. Knowing that future is like that, yet being powerless to change it, Luna cannot empathize with that despair and sorrow, and is not surprised by the girl's avoidance.

Izumi didn't even want to see Itachi Uchiha; this ostrich-like behavior was very much in line with a young girl's mentality. She wanted to protect her clansmen but couldn't think of any way, so after hearing a voice saying "I don't want to die," she pulled that soul over.

"I'll give you my body; please save the Uchiha clan."

[...] The girl, forced into the body, was bewildered. She didn't want to die, but what was with this "save the Uchiha" nonsense? Where was her Fairy Tail? Where was her magical world?

The girl had two former names. In her previous life, she was called Luna, an apprentice mage whose special magic was mental magic. She was a generation younger than Natsu and Lucy, and after awakening her powers, she applied to join Fairy Tail. She didn't live long, dying on the battlefield when Zeref led the royal army to attack Fairy Tail and seize the Fairy Heart.

She thought that joining the main characters' group meant joining the immortal group, but she didn't expect that because she was young, she didn't go to the battlefield and didn't activate this buff.

In her first life, her life was also short, and she had a very poetic name, Yunxiu. Illness took her life, so she was overjoyed and happy to be born into the world of Fairy Tail. Growing up as a baby, she became a magician, eagerly learning knowledge, watching the Grand Magic Games, and joining Fairy Tail.

She loved the free and magical world, which was far more wonderful than being in her hospital bed, and accepted Luna, who was everywhere she went.

What should we call it now?

Luna Yunxiu?

Haha, a fusion of East and West, huh?

The first thing the girl did after leaving the hospital wasn't to save the Uchiha clan. Knowing the cruelty of the ninja world, her immediate thought was to run away. Who the hell wants to live in a world full of mentally ill people? If she ran away before becoming a ninja, she wouldn't have to become a rogue ninja; she could have found a peaceful, secluded place to live in seclusion.

She was a Fairy Tail mage, and even though she's no longer with us, there are still rules to follow. The third rule is: even if we go down different paths, we must do our best to live on.

She didn't want to play along with Konoha anymore, but reality slapped her in the face. This body couldn't leave Konoha's territory, as if it were some kind of illusion or a contract restricting her.

The original owner wouldn't let her desert.

The girl stood on the rock for a long time, knowing that in this third life she would become Uchiha Izumi, and if she didn't work hard, she would only have less than a year left to live.

"Alright then." I'll call myself Luna Yunxiu. If I run away someday, I'll introduce myself as Luna, which will be more in line with the ninja world than Yunxiu.

Luna sat up, half-covering her still slightly swollen forehead, feeling her eyes filled with spiritual energy. A flash of red appeared, and she saw a pair of bright, three-tomoe eyes reflected in the lake.

[She has evolved.] Luna did not continue; breaking through now would not be beneficial for her young body.

"Quan, you're here." A boy walked over from afar. He was slender with shoulder-length hair tied in a small braid at the back. What was most striking were his nasolabial folds; such a mature face at such a young age must mean his father didn't raise him well.

"..." Luna didn't react for a moment, closed her eyes and retracted her Sharingan, staring blankly at the other person.

What to do?

How should we start this conversation?

She's only ever had an online romance in a game; they've never met in person. The relationship is purely for gaming and marriage, and she just wants the other person to give her a few in-game skins. She has absolutely no experience in real-life relationships.

"Does your head still hurt?" Itachi sat down next to her, put down the three-colored dumplings wrapped in lotus leaves, and smiled with a rare ease.

"It's nothing." Luna said listlessly, picking up a skewer of dumplings and taking a bite. It was almost cloyingly sweet. The three-colored dumplings she remembered weren't this sweet. Was this a special Uchiha version?

sugar!

White sugar.

Luna's mind conjured up a formula: one part saltpeter, two parts carbon, three parts sulfur, plus a little sugar and Big Ivan. She had even concocted this stuff in the magical world, and with the detonation runes she had specifically learned, she had contributed significantly to the fight against numerous dragons during the Grand Magic Games.

"If you're not feeling well, I'll take you home. You have exams in a few days, and you can't miss them." Itachi looked at her with concern, noticing her unwell condition.

Luna: "..."

I want to be absent!

I don't want to be a ninja!

Luna followed Itachi towards their residence, and looking at the fan-shaped clan crest on Itachi's back, an overwhelming sense of melancholy welled up within her. This blue-and-red crest reminded her of the dark memories she had gathered.

With less than a year until the night of the Uchiha Clan's massacre, the Konoha leadership has long harbored murderous intentions towards the Uchiha. How can they prevent the Uchiha Clan's extermination? Should they defect to the village like Itachi? Or try to promote communication between the village and the clan?

Unreliable.

Whether someone chooses to join a faction depends on their own value. Those without value or strength will be disliked even if they are used as pawns. Itachi possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan and was the eldest son of the clan leader, symbolizing the future of the Uchiha clan. Therefore, he was someone that both the Third Hokage and Danzo tried their best to win over.

What about Uchiha Izumi? Her mother was an Uchiha who married and had children, but returned to the Uchiha clan after her husband died. This mother and daughter had absolutely no power within the clan, and the Third Hokage looked down on them.

To appease the Uchiha clan?

That's also unlikely.

The Uchiha clan originally lived in a central location, but now they've been relegated to a remote corner. No wonder they can't swallow this insult. Coupled with years of suppression, even the initial minor conflicts have escalated into irreconcilable major ones.

Unless, she awakens Wood Release now, wreaks havoc everywhere, and becomes the strongest person in Konoha.

Should we start by attacking Konoha?

That would be even more impossible.

Putting aside the question of which side the Third Hokage was on, whether he was willing to put Danzo under pressure, and how much trust he had in the Uchiha clan, he definitely wouldn't have been able to get past Danzo alone.

When people dislike someone, they feel that even the other person's breathing is wrong.

For the Uchiha clan to survive, some hidden dangers must be eliminated.

Hidden danger 1: Danzo.

Hidden danger number two: Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi, driven by his weakness, ultimately sided with Konoha, becoming the executioner of the clan massacre. His heart was with Konoha, and he would become an obstacle to her schemes against Konoha's higher-ups. What would happen if this guy discovered that?

Even if she changes the situation by then, Itachi might become a dagger used by Konoha against the Uchiha clan for his brother's sake. If Itachi isn't dealt with, there might not be enough time.

But would Uchiha Izumi allow her to harm the one she loves?

Whatever, I'll just keep being a ghost!

With such high demands, do you expect to have it all?

Why don't you ask Ultraman to save the Uchiha clan?

Luna's fingertips glowed red as she touched her forehead. She followed Itachi nonchalantly, then grabbed his sleeve and collapsed. Her forehead was burning hot, and her consciousness was fading.

"Izumi, what's wrong?" Itachi quickly helped her up, picked her up, and rushed to the hospital.

Luna used low-level fire magic to 'warm her body,' so she had to feign illness, at least to be hospitalized. Staying in the Uchiha clan territory wasn't a wise choice; there was 24-hour surveillance by the Anbu, making it inconvenient to even leave the house, and she couldn't do anything. If they noticed anything amiss, they would immediately expose her to the Anbu.

The boy's embrace was unsteady, probably from running too fast. His jawline blocked the sunlight, and he carried a faint, sweet scent. Lucy's embrace was different; it was soft and wonderfully fragrant, her body intoxicatingly sweet.

【QAQ Lucy, if you can't find me, will you cry?】

I want to go back to Fairy Tail, back to the guild.

Luna cried silently for a while, then felt even more conflicted upon hearing Itachi's question. She couldn't help but wonder what Izumi's expression would be if she were still alive and responding to this concern.

Did he not intend to let Quan live because he didn't want her to face the pain of the rest of her life?

What an arrogant brat!

At the hospital, it was all about taking medicine and getting IV drips. Luna secretly put the fever reducer under her tongue, then threw it away while she went to the toilet, and spent the whole afternoon sleeping at the hospital. She also used her mental magic to control a nurse and get some potassium permanganate, potassium nitrate, sulfuric acid, mercury, and glass test tubes. These things are hard to get elsewhere, but the hospital's chemistry lab definitely had them.

As for white sugar?

Is it strange that the Uchiha clan buys white sugar?

Which Uchiha family doesn't stock up on sugar?

Luna's shadow clone wandered around the nooks and crannies of the village, looking for a suitable place to masturbate 'Big Ivan'. By evening, her fever had subsided, and her mother came over to check on her, making sure she was alright before taking the empty lunchbox back.

There are fewer doctors and nurses on the night shift, and after most doctors have gone home, Luna uses her shadow clone to go out and collect charcoal. Then she carries a piece of cardboard and a small tray to the public restroom. If anyone sees her, they'll definitely shout "Catch the pervert!"

A pretty girl doing *that* outside a public restroom late at night—that's practically headline news!
