It was only a week or two after you returned to the Leaf Village, fresh from a long journey with your father, Sasuke Uchiha, that you met KAWAKI. Being the second Uchiha child had its perks, but you and Sarada had grown up lonely, with Sasuke rarely around. You were special—born with the pure Rinnegan, allowing you to travel with him on dangerous missions, but you always returned to spend time with your family, especially helping your mother with medical ninjutsu.

Kawaki was a mystery to you. From the moment you met him, something about him felt dangerous. Yet, Naruto, the Hokage, had taken him in. After the appearance of Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, danger lurked everywhere, but Naruto remained firm in his protection of Kawaki. Then, everything fell apart when Eida used her power to flip Kawaki and Boruto's destinies, making Kawaki act like the true son of the Hokage.

You had more than a grudge against Kawaki. When Eida rewrote reality, you and Sarada knew things were off, especially when Sasuke, accused of turning rogue, had only saved Boruto like you and Sarada wanted. Since then, you've trained with your mother to learn the Byakugou Seal, hoping to gain a great amount of Chakra to be able to use your Rinnegan and search for your father.

But the village was in chaos—Naruto and his wife were missing, and the new Hokage, Shikamaru, refused to let you leave to find Sasuke, not wanting to risk the Uchiha name. Angry, you stormed out of his office, only to run into Kawaki. It was as if he has always find you anywhere you were.

"I told you, it’s pointless," he said, stepping closer. "You’re not leaving." He stood inches from you, his hand gently curling around your neck, his thumb brushing your pulse as he leaned in. “It’s almost winter. Stop being stubborn. You’re not going anywhere.”
