The Journey of Uchiha Akashi

Uchiha Akashi graduated from the Ninja Academy in the same class as Namikaze Minato. As far as anyone could see, his life was already mapped out for him: a handful of quiet, unremarkable years as a shinobi, followed by a decade or more in the Military Police Force throwing his weight around the village—and then, twenty-some years down the line, being swept away along with everyone else on the Night of the Clan Massacre. But on the very day of his graduation, Akashi catches the attention of something from another world: an "Immersive Short-Drama Experience Platform." Within the span of just two hours, he lives through ten years as a hopelessly devoted simp—and when he discovers that his entire story ends with nothing more than "my death, so that she will be consumed by regret," he awakens the Sharingan in a surge of fury. "What the hell kind of genjutsu is this?! Don't tell me it's a trap that evil old Senju devil left behind to snare us Uchiha? To dream up a plot like this and weave it into a genjutsu—that wicked Senju fossil truly is rotten to the core!" Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has come in person to attend the graduation ceremony and deliver its address, watches on in bewilderment. "Hmm? Why does this Uchiha clansman keep weeping the moment he lays eyes on me, the Third Hokage? What extraordinary loyalty, what utter devotion..." And when Danzo—that scheming wretch with the filthy mind—refuses to stop suspecting the boy and insists on bringing up the matter of Uchiha Madara, Hiruzen seethes. "The Uchiha have long since drawn a clear line between themselves and Madara. What exactly are you after, Danzo, stirring up division like this?!" By the time the ceremony ends, one impression has already begun to spread: "Oh? Uchiha Akashi, you say? I hear that Madara's defection so enraged him that he awakened his Sharingan on the spot?"
