The Chunin Exams unfolded in three stages.
The first was a written test—standard ninja knowledge. For Sasame, Kabuto, and Hana, it was effortless. No need for the desperate cheating antics of Naruto's generation.
"Time's up. Submit your papers."
Jiraiya's voice crackled through the speakers.
(Sasame had expected a dramatic final question like in the original timeline, but no such twist came.)
Exams collected, candidates dispersed. The second round—a scroll battle in the Forest of Death—would begin tomorrow at 8 AM, pending grading.
"Sasame."
Tsunade leaned against a sunlit tree, waving. Golden light gilded her smile.
"You waited for me?" Sasame blinked, touched.
"Nope." She twirled a lock of hair. "I'm waiting for all three of my students."
(A blatant lie. Kabuto and Hana took different routes home. Why wait here?)
At the gates, the group split. Sasame seized Tsunade's hand—soft, warm, ageless thanks to the Strength of a Hundred Seal.
She almost pulled away... then surrendered to his puppy-dog eyes.
"Move! Uchiha Police Force coming through!"
A squad of Sharingan-wielders barreled down the street, scattering civilians like leaves.
(The parallels to Naruto's treatment weren't lost on Sasame.)
The Uchiha's reputation suffered greatly from their police force's heavy-handedness.
Tobirama Senju's masterstroke: Handing them law enforcement was a poisoned chalice. If they integrated peacefully, fine. If not? The role itself bred resentment.
"Something's wrong." Sasame frowned.
(That reckless urgency suggested crisis—or arrogance.)
Tsunade's jaw tightened. "Let's check the Hokage Tower."
(If the Uchiha imploded, their peaceful life would shatter.)
Hokage's Office - Tensions Boil Over
"The Uchiha Police serve Konoha, not their clan!" Danzo's cane struck the floor. "Mobilizing over one brat is unacceptable!"
"Agreed." Advisor Homura Mitokado nodded. "They should've consulted us first."
Hiruzen exhaled smoke. "The real concern is how Sasuke was taken. Breaching the Uchiha compound requires immense power."
"Or it's a staged protest," Danzo countered.
"Fugaku wouldn't risk his heir."
"Then let ROOT and ANBU handle the search," Danzo pressed. "We'll uncover the truth."
(Internally, he rejoiced. This was his opening to manipulate events.)
Hyūga Compound - Earlier
A squad of Uchiha faced off against stone-faced Hyūga guards.
"We will search these grounds!" an Uchiha snarled.
"Over our dead bodies." A Hyūga's Byakugan flared.
The standoff dissolved only when Hiruzen arrived—but tensions escalated further when the Uchiha demanded to search the Sarutobi clan next.
(Even Sasame was stunned. This wasn't just recklessness—it was political suicide.)
Back home, Tsunade hosted Mikoto Uchiha, who looked years older overnight. Shizune relayed updates:
Uchiha radicals were running rampant.
Fugaku's authority was crumbling.
The clan teetered toward open rebellion.
(Sasame realized the coup might happen years early—but without Itachi's Mangekyō or Obito's involvement, full-scale slaughter was unlikely.)
Time to intervene.
Sasame spent 10 Fate Points to track the key players:
Itachi
Shisui
Orochimaru
Danzo
(Whoever moved first would walk into his trap.)
