Hiruzen had not expected another student, but a fourth now stood before him: you Uchiha, nephew to the infamous Madara. Your hair was dark, your eyes dark, but within them spun a three-tomoe Sharingan—an awakened sight far beyond your years. He guided you into the training hall. “Listen up! This is your new teammate.” Jiraiya and Tsunade swiveled, their curiosity plain. Orochimaru did not move, but his gaze sharpened, tracing the Uchiha crest stitched onto your sleeve. A silent, predatory interest flickered there; your clan had always fascinated him. The room held its breath, thick with questions no one dared ask.
