Synopsis
At an overlooked outpost in Konoha, where no one ever paid attention… A man with the Hand of the Devil cheerfully scatters rice, feeding a flock of crows. Until one day, Uchiha Shisui appears before him—his right eye a hollow socket, still bleeding. In an instant, countless crows blot out the sky, engulfing the whole of Konoha. Beneath a blood-red moon, even Uchiha Obito mistakes it for the early arrival of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. He is a professional crow keeper. And the only living myth in the shinobi world. Uchiha Swain.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 Uchiha Swain

The nights in Konoha were never peaceful. Uchiha Shisui, a man with a single eye Mangekyo Sharingan who could use Susanoo and possessed the strongest mind control technique, Kotoamatsukami, was ambushed by the Foundation. Konoha's schemer, Danzo, took one of his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Seriously injured and only able to use Susanoo with one eye, Uchiha Shisui barely made it to the Uchiha shrine. He pushed the door open and saw a handsome young man with a right hand made of red crystal, teasing a cute crow with a staff in his left hand.

The first thing he said wasn't a request for help, but "Uncle Swain, you were right."

Uchiha Swain snorted and scolded Shisui, "This is your own fault! Why did you have to go to Danzo? It's not just an eye you're missing, it's brains. The world is so big, but it can't make up for what you lack in your head."

Uchiha Swain was a time traveler. Because he used ten thousand crows, even the heavens couldn't stand it and struck him with lightning, sending him to the Hokage world with a special perk for crow players.

Raising crows...

Not demon tentacles.

Since Shisui was a child, Uchiha Swain had taught him to put himself first, be careful in everything, and not to trust the people of the Foundation.

The result was obvious: he failed. It was hard to say if the will of the world was too strong, or if Shisui's little brain was just full of the Will of Fire.

As his only relative, Swain had no choice but to heal him, even though he was angry.

The method was simple: first, kill the enemies outside. Then, take their life force. Finally, give it to Shisui. Simple, right?

"Only pain can ring the soul's bell. My little darlings, it's time to eat."

Why was someone allowed to keep ninja beasts in the Uchiha shrine? It was because of this guy's terrifying power.

When the Foundation members chased them to the shrine, Shimura Danzo glared at the Uchiha shrine, gritting his teeth. "Go!"

He and Swain were old friends, and this friend was his lifelong nightmare. Even now, seeing crows would bring back childhood fears.

"Danzo, Lord Danzo, look!"

In the dark night, countless crows fell like stars, sealing the fate of this group of Foundation ninja.

"Don't be afraid! They're just crows! Use Fire Release!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"

These powerful ninjutsu landed in the crow swarm and melted instantly, like adding vitamin C to iodine.

Just when everyone was feeling happy, the bright moon in the sky suddenly changed, turning into a blood moon.

Deep underground, Black Zetsu suddenly popped out. "Mom's coming out?!"

And Danzo, facing the enemy, suddenly felt a chill from the inside out.

This was that guy's ninjutsu!

Imperial Vision!

The crows, which should have been turned to ashes, suddenly gathered into a giant eye, staring at everyone in the Foundation.

At the same time, Danzo heard a voice in his ear: "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. Return Shisui's eye tomorrow, and I'll spare you this time."

Suddenly, a Foundation ninja began to laugh wildly, waving his kunai with no control, his laughter miserable, his face twisted.

Finally, his eyes widened, and he lost his life in that strange smile.

Shimura Danzo's hateful gaze stared intently at the inside of the shrine, as if he wanted to see through the walls.

"Alright, I'll come to apologize tomorrow with gifts. But if the Uchiha Clan dares to betray Konoha, I will never give in, even if it means death!"

Uchiha Swain sneered, using his demonic arm to take the life force that hadn't dissipated and transfer it to Shisui.

He continued to teach Shisui that people should look out for themselves.

Seeing Uchiha Shisui's simple smile, Swain knew it was all in vain.

What could he do? These two Uchiha were the best at inheriting the Will of Fire in the entire Hokage world.

"Put the eye back on tomorrow. If you act so stupidly again, believe me, I'll blow up Konoha."

Threatening Shisui still worked. Shisui even had the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Uchiha Swain scolded angrily, "Get out, get out! You think you can control me with your Mangekyo Sharingan? You think what you're seeing is my real body? Even if it were, your pitiful mental power wouldn't be enough to affect me, at most you'd just add a suggestion."

Uchiha Shisui scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, but the empty eye socket looked strange. "Uncle Swain, you can't joke like that. Konoha is the place that gave us life..."

Bang!

Shisui, who wasn't finished speaking, was thrown out of the shrine by Uchiha Swain.

"Feeding me chicken soup, the world is big, but it can't make up for what you lack in your head. The Uchiha Clan are all stubborn. Look how good I am. What do you say, Little Black?"

"Caw... caw... caw..."

However, the crow only cawed.

At the Foundation headquarters, Danzo stared at the strongest mind control eye he had obtained with great reluctance. Did he really have to give it back?

Just as Danzo was hesitating, a masked, one-eyed white-haired ninja suddenly appeared and handed him a letter written by the Third Hokage himself.

There was only one sentence inside.

Don't forget what the Master said back then.

Of course Danzo wouldn't forget. That was the warning that the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, had left when he covered their retreat for the last time.

You can move the Uchiha Clan, but you absolutely can't mess with Uchiha Swain!

Influenced by the Second Hokage, Danzo had never had a good impression of the Uchiha Clan, but he really didn't dare to provoke the man who lived in the Uchiha shrine all year round.

That demonic gaze was more insightful than the genjutsu Hell Viewing Technique.

"Kakashi, tell the Third Hokage that I understand. I'll come to apologize tomorrow."

The leader of the Foundation gave in.

Just as Swain said, the wild roars stopped.
