"Aahn-ah~" 😮💨 A young man sighed, bored on his couch after a long day of work in some apartment in a sprawling megacity.
'Maybe I should give it a shot and watch Boruto, see what's happening in the anime after Naruto Shippuden. After all these years, it must have at least two hundred episodes by now, I think.'
'Yosha!!! Let's do this.' With renewed resolve and energy, he grabbed the smart TV controller and powered on the big screen in the living room.
A moment later, he was finally about to start playing the first episode in the long list.
*Chuckle* Just as he thought, there were already more than two hundred episodes, which made him grin stupidly at his correct deduction.
Just as he was about to press the play button, he noticed that Naruto was also available to watch. He paused for a moment, debating whether to start from the original series all the way to Boruto. The sheer number of episodes made him sweat a little at the thought, but if he were to watch Naruto, he would relive his old memories from his childhood, when he waited week after week for a new episode to be released. Unsure for a moment, he unconsciously started playing Naruto from episode 1.
As the episode started playing on the TV, sound blasted out of the speakers:
"A long time ago, a powerful demon fox with nine tails appeared."
"With its powerful tails, it could smash mountains and create tidal waves."
"A band of ninjas rose to defend their village from attack."
"We have to wait until the Fourth Hokage gets here!" A Konoha Ninja said.
"We can't let it get any closer to our village!" Another Konoha Ninja spoke after.
"One great ninja was able to imprison the monster, but died in the process."
"This ninja was known as... the Fourth Hokage."
Akira chuckled as he heard the introduction to Naruto. Those ninjas defending against Kurama were just like ants trying to stop an elephant. Seeing it again, it really was true that Kage level was the minimum to live alright in Naruto.
Suddenly, the blinding light that appeared when Minato was about to perform a jutsu was so bright that it somehow blinded Akira, hurting his eyes. When he opened them again after a moment, his surroundings were different than just a moment ago.
Unknown to Akira, his perception of time—what he considered 'a moment ago'—wasn't exactly what was happening.
"I'm blind!!!! I can't see!!!!" Akira yelled out loudly, but nothing came out of his mouth.
"What!!! What is happening!!!! I can't see!!! I can't even speak!!!" Akira started getting really agitated, scared shitless, not understanding what was happening to him, not being able to see anything or speak at all.
The only thing Akira could feel or perceive were distorted sounds, as if they were far away, and that he was surrounded by some weird, sticky liquid.
"What is this place! Damn, why is this happening to me? I'm having a heart attack or something after seeing that blinding white light?" Akira tried to reason his current situation with realistic possibilities.
"I...I don't understand... damn. Why..." Akira was really fucking scared, trying to move his body but to no avail. It was as if he were paralyzed, only able to hear distorted sounds that made no sense to him.
Suddenly, Akira felt a searing pain in his eyes that made him crazy wanting to scratch his eyes to no avail as he couldn't even move, making him even more scared and enduring the pain that he was feeling.

Konoha, 23rd July, Year 0
Konoha Hospital.
In the long corridor of the maternity ward in the hospital, a group of men were waiting patiently for the doctor to come out from inside bringing news.
The curious thing about this group of men was that they sported different types of clothing but that each one had a paper fan symbol of red and white on them as if they were of some kind of group or organization.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the other end of the corridor until the sound came to a stop beside a man that appeared to be the leader of the group.
"Clan head!!!" The man that appeared saluted loudly.
"How is it, Toguro?" The clan head asked with a face that had facial paralysis as he looked at the man in front of him.
"Everything is fine. There are no problems in the clan district and every personnel from the force has cleaned the streets of any possible problem and at the same time we have a group in waiting near the building just in case something were to happen, Clan head!" Toguro reported with a neutral face and voice to the clan head as his duty demanded.
"It's alright, then. Come, don't go back to patrol and stay here waiting with us, Toguro. After all, your wife and mine are about to give birth. And, don't be so distant, call me by my name, after all we are family, Toguro." The clan head said as he heard his report and smiled by the end, even if his smile wasn't as much noted on his face given how dull it was all the time.
Toguro had a wry smile for a second as he heard him before answering. "Yes, Fugaku-sama! How are Lady Mikoto and Sayuri doing?"
"We don't know yet. The only thing we have so far is that they were about to give birth. We need to wait for the doctor to go out and tell us what happened." Fugaku answered coolly, but even if he appeared to be cool around his subordinates, inside him he was already getting impatient.
Suddenly, the group of Uchiha ninjas could perceive the cries of two babies as they started resounding in the room and moments later two more.

Konoha, Year 6 aNb.
Somewhere around the Land of Fire.
A man carried two men and dropped them like dirt in front of a kid with black hair and eyes who was wearing pants and a shirt that had the symbol of the Uchiha clan engraved on them.
"Come, Akira. Kill them." Toguro said sternly with a voice that left no room for anything else to his golden son.
Akira looked at his father and then at the two poor bastards that would become the first lives that he would take in both his lives combined.
"Sword." Akira simply said as he looked at his father, Toguro.
"Can you hold it, son?" Toguro smirked, hearing him and unsheathed the sword on his back and passed it to his son's hand.
"Of course, I can. I have been having that hellish training you put me in all this time." Akira rolled his eyes as he grabbed the sword, still, it was too big for his stature, making it difficult for him.
After grabbing the handle with both hands, he readied himself as he stabbed the chest, piercing the heart of one of the renegade ninjas that were sitting in front of him with a lost look, as they were in a genjutsu.
*Splash* Blood splashed into Akira's face as he killed the man, making him look like an evil child.
"Good." Toguro simply said, nonchalantly about his son killing the man. "Kill the other with your black flames, I want to see if you can release a jutsu with them."
"Oh!" Akira nodded to him as he looked at the other guy still alive.
Then he moved away a little farther from the guy and stabbed the sword in the ground before closing his eyes for a moment and then opening them.
This time his eyes were red like blood, sporting the Sharingan with three tomoe, and then he started to move awkwardly his hand fast as he called out loudly while guiding by instinct the chakra on his body along the pathway in it. "Enton: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!!!!"
Different to what Akira or even Toguro expected, a little dark fireball was ejected from Akira's mouth as it came crashing down against the renegade ninja. The little ball of dark fire looked like a joke to Toguro or even Akira, but still, it was enough to burn the man to cinders as the black flames consumed everything, him and even the lifeless body of the other ninja that Akira had taken his life.
Toguro's eyebrows jumped wildly at the destructive power of the dark flames, even if his son's jutsu was a joke as he hadn't mastered it still.
After a moment of awkward silence, Toguro said, "You need to keep training more, you can't slack."
"Come on! It is hard to train with that flame, I barely can control it! I can just do fine with Katon and Raiton." Akira frustratedly retorted back.
"There are no excuses. If you have this kind of gift you need to make use of it, instead of saying those useless things. Train more." Toguro didn't take what his son said. He moved beside him and took the sword from the ground and sheathed it on his back and then patted Akira's head. "Well done, Akira."
"Hehe" Akira smiled stupidly and a little proud of himself.
"Don't be complacent. The clan has high expectations of you since the moment you were born, you are the first in the clan to be born with the Sharingan already activated and even with three tomoe and being able to control that weird dark flame, that we believe it is the same flames of Amaterasu that we have on our clan records. This flame is said to be 'the fires from hell' and to burn as hot as the sun itself." Toguro explained and taught his son seriously. "So you see the amount of hopes and expectations deposited in you. Even the clan leaders and the elders are looking forward to your future to gain more glory for the clan. That's why you have your cousin Satsuki as your fiancée since being born. The clan head gave her daughter's hand to you. Also, you have your twin sister Akane's hand as well, in hopes of in the future of you having more children with your power."
"Don't slack, Akira. Train even more harder."
"Yes, Father!!!" Akira replied loudly with firmness.
Akira then laughed. "Besides, I like to see my cousin Sasuke's frustrated face when he can't defeat me when we are sparring."
Toguro chuckled before grabbing his son and moving at high speed back to Konoha.
