Time Loop: Uchiha Massacre

3

Toshiko woke up on a dusty floor. She turned her head, which was weird because her head had been cut off; completely removed from her body. She even remembered a moment before she lost consciousness, when she could feel her head being seperate from her body, falling down to the floor, blood leaking from the neck vessels.....

She vomitted everything that was present in her stomach and then dry-retched for some time, before leaving the mask temple, as the smell was beginning to overwhelm her.

She wandered aimlessly, feeling numb, wondering why she hadn't had this much of a reaction after her first death. Was it because of the novelty of time travel or because her the newly awakened Sharingan and the chakra drain because of it, dulled her response?

Speaking of chakra, she had the same amount she had before her head was cut off, and it would grow as she grew up again, she noted absently. It meant that she had to work very hard on the chakra control excercises if she wanted to perform the mystical palm jutsu.

She was faintly aware of her name being called out, but didn't deign to give any response. She was probably in shock, which was understandable, since her head had been cut off from her body a few moments ago.

She was found, hours later probably, by Uchiha Shoto and his team, hyperventilating, with snot and tears running down her face, her eyes flashing  two tomoe Sharingan.

Toshiko retreated to her home, this time avoiding to show her expertise at controlling her Sharingan. Fugaku didn't much of her awakening a two tomoe Sharingan. Children often activated their Sharingan in emotional distress, (look at Izumi) that didn't mean that they were capable of controlling it.

It was better for to be left alone for a while. With careful introspection, she understood why she had such a strong reaction to her second death. Her Sharingan had been activated when Itachi had killed her. Every moment had been practically seared into her brain in high definition. It was bound to produce a stronger reaction. Secondly, being stabbed and waking up didn't have the same effect as being decapitated and waking up.

Introspection also made her realise the mistakes she had made. She had assumed everything would remain exactly the same even when she herself had changed so much. She had underestimated her enemy, who had access to the information that she was a medic nin, and hence had thwarted her in a way she couldn't recover from.

She had not even tried to fight him. Not that she could, when she had also put all her eggs in one basket.

Toshiko attempted to evaluate her current skill level only to be disappointment. Her taijutsu, physical conditioning as well as shurikenjutsu were all shot to hell, because of her younger, weaker and much shorter body. Her chakra control was fine for now, till her reserves inevitably grew again. The only thing in her arsenal she had was a respectable mastership of the mystical palm jutsu and her current two tomoe Sharingan.

If she followed the same path again, nothing was going to change. Only fools do the same thing again and again and expect a different outcome.

It was obvious, since Toshiko would be almost certainly unable to fend off Itachi when he ultimately deigned to kill her along with the the rest of the clan, she would have to run.

Since she was currently not even an academy student, the village wouldn't give two dimes about her leaving. The clan, on the other hand, been wouldn't just let someone with a two tomoe Sharingan loose into the world full of eyeball thieves. Not that it mattered. Uchiha were not trackers, and with the current political climate of the village, they won't be asking for any help from the tracking clans.

It was a warm night of April, when after months of preparation, Toshiko chose to leave behind her home for all of her three lives. Trekking through the now almost familiar north forest, she came across the wall in a few hours. Any use of chakra on the walls would have been immediately detected, hence Toshiko used the tree right next to it, to make her escape.
