A vast amount of memories flooded into Uchiha En's mind. He slowly closed his eyes and began to sort through this portion of his memories.
Uchiha En quickly realized that his Wood Clone had indeed gone to the Ninja World, but it didn't seem to be the future of his own dimension, but rather a parallel dimension.
This parallel dimension was very similar to the original work.
The time his Wood Clone arrived in this parallel dimension was roughly the same as when he had first transmigrated.
However, this time Uchiha En didn't transmigrate. The original host had already fainted due to his optic nerves being too fragile to withstand the immense Chakra when opening his Sharingan.
The Wood Clone intervened at this moment, neutralizing the excess Chakra from the awakening with Wood Release Chakra, saving the original host's life.
The original host survived and also awakened the Sharingan.
But the original host's aptitude could only be described as average. Even with the Sharingan and the Wood Clone's secret guidance, the original host's strength improved very slowly.
Before the Third Great Ninja War, the original host did not show any exceptional talent. The Third Hokage did not arrange for him to be on a team with Asana and Yamanaka Kagetsu, and his squad leader was only a Special Jonin.
The only thing that hadn't changed was that the original host still had a very good relationship with Asana in this dimension.
But their feelings for each other were clearly not romantic; they viewed each other as family.
During the Third Great Ninja War in this dimension, the original host was dispatched to the Land of Frost, struggling to survive in the three-way battle between Konoha, Cloud Village, and Iwagakure.
This battlefield was far more brutal than the war in the Land of Bears.
One by one, familiar Uchiha Clan members fell, which gradually changed the original host.
The original host's optic nerves were almost burst by the massive amount of Chakra when he awakened his Sharingan, partly because his optic nerves were inherently weak, and partly because the amount of Chakra was too immense.
Under normal circumstances, the original host should have been able to directly awaken the Two-Tomoes Sharingan, just like Obito.
As clan members fell one after another, the original host's conviction solidified: he had to survive, and he had to bring more of his clan members home.
This conviction supported the original host as he slowly grew stronger.
Thus, the original host stayed on the battlefield in the Land of Frost for five years.
By the end of the Third Great Ninja War, the original host had transformed from a Genin with a Single Tomoe Sharingan into a Jonin with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan and distinguished military achievements.
Of course, the Wood Clone was not idle during this time. It maintained its existence by relying on Natural Energy and secretly guided the original host.
The original host's current strength would not have been possible without the Wood Clone's help.
However, the original host did not have the skills provided by the 'text game,' so the Wood Clone had him focus on developing Lightning Release Chakra, teaching him the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Rokushiki.
The original host's rise inevitably caught the attention of Uchiha Madara.
But with the Wood Clone present, White Zetsu's several attempts to probe were repelled, so the original host was not taken by Uchiha Madara. Obito was still the one who became Uchiha Madara's tool.
Besides the original host, the Wood Clone's other focus was naturally Asana.
In this dimension, Asana's admiration for Orochimaru reached a near-fanatical level, so Orochimaru naturally didn't need to take Asana as a disciple, because he could already completely control her.
Asana became Orochimaru's assistant. Later, Orochimaru also recruited Yakushi Kabuto, and to conceal some of his actions, he took Anko Mitarashi as a disciple.
While Orochimaru publicly appeared to be diligently teaching his disciples in the Village, he was secretly conducting human experiments using Bloodline Limit Ninja collected during the war.
At the same time, Danzo also approached Orochimaru, bringing him the first hokages cells.
Orochimaru and Danzo's Wood Release Ninja recreation plan began again.
And Asana, as expected, became a tool for testing the first hokages cells.
The first hokages cells were injected into her, but unlike White Zetsu's cells, the first hokages cells were clearly more active and invasive.
Asana couldn't withstand the effects of the first hokages cells and quickly became critically ill.
At this time, Asana believed that Lord Orochimaru would definitely save her.
Who knew that Orochimaru would cruelly abandon her?
Abandoned by the person she trusted most, Asana suffered a double blow to her body and mind, losing all hope of living.
Just as Asana was about to perish, Uchiha En's Wood Clone teleportation (Shunshin) teleported to Orochimaru's laboratory and took Asana away.
After Uchiha En acquired Kekkei Mōra, his Wood Clone was no longer inferior to Senju Hashirama's Wood Clone. The Wood Clone used its Chakra to help Asana's cells completely fuse with the first hokages cells.
Just like in the world where Uchiha En's main body resided, Asana's Caged Bird Seal was weakened for the first time, and her Byakugan also began its first step towards evolving into the Tenseigan.
After Asana woke up, she found her friend Uchiha En by her side.
This was because after the Wood Clone had taken care of everything, it sent her to the original host.
After a conversation, Asana, having lost all support, proactively gravitated towards the original host.
At this moment, she was like Haku by Zabuza's side, desperately needing to find someone to rely on.
The original host naturally wouldn't push Asana away. He kept her at his home, and the two spent some beautiful time together.
Unfortunately, good times don't last. A few months later, Orochimaru's human experiments were exposed, and he defected from the Village.
Asana, who was closely associated with Orochimaru, naturally became a key suspect in the Village.
Especially since Danzo was involved in these human experiments, he would absolutely not allow an insider like Asana to live.
Facing Danzo's pursuit, Asana, out of helplessness, had no choice but to defect.
Before defecting, Asana returned to the Hyuga Clan, killing 40 members of the Hyuga Main Family until only 6 remained.
The news that the Caged Bird Seal could not kill Asana also spread among the Hyuga Branch Family.
The Hyuga Clan also fell into chaos.
Not long after, the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack erupted, the Fourth Hokage and his wife sacrificed themselves, and the Uchiha Clan became subject to various suspicions.
At this time, members of the Hyuga Branch Family approached the Uchiha Clan.
Uchiha En's hawk faction united with the Hyuga Branch Family. Uchiha En, along with two elders from the hawk faction, secretly infiltrated the Hyuga Clan and killed all members of the Hyuga Main Family, except for children who had not yet entered the Ninja Academy.
The next day, members of the Hyuga Branch Family launched a coup, and the Branch Family became the controllers of the Hyuga Clan.
Without the Main Family, the Hyuga Branch Family was not as easily controlled, and the Village's higher-ups also grew suspicious of the Hyuga Branch Family.
Some small actions by the Village, however, only made the ties between the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan even closer.
The two clans immediately agreed to fully unite and force the Konoha higher-ups to step down.
Their actions, as expected, caused unrest in the Village.
The Third Hokage and Danzo began to suppress the two clans more forcefully, eventually escalating into a war between the Village and the two clans.
The Uchiha + Hyuga alliance could not contend with all of Konoha, but Konoha would also have to pay a heavy price to defeat them, possibly even a mutually destructive outcome.
Ultimately, both sides took a step back. The Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan led the clan members willing to leave Konoha away from the Village.
Only one in ten of the Ninja from the two clans remained in Konoha.
The Uchiha Clan was left with only 157 members, among whom only 19 were Ninja, and only 3 had awakened the Sharingan. Uchiha Itachi took over as the new head of the Uchiha Clan, and Itachi's friend Shisui naturally also stayed.
Unfortunately, not long after, Shisui died mysteriously, and Uchiha Itachi, the only one who knew the truth, chose to cover it all up.
Even fewer Hyuga Clan members remained, only over 70, all of whom were ordinary people without Ninja talent.
Having lost two great Dojutsu clans, Konoha further declined. A few years later, with Iwagakure's invasion, the Cloud Village Envoy came to Konoha, forcing Konoha to sign a series of treaties.
Konoha could only survive by finding a way through the cracks.
Meanwhile, the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans, who had left Konoha, arrived at the Land of Fire's capital, becoming honored guests of the Daimyo, and settled down in the capital.
To solidify their relationship, a suitable Uchiha woman was even married to the Daimyo's son.
The original host did not participate in these matters. He left after his clan settled down.
Following the Wood Clone's instructions, the original host found Asana, who had joined the Akatsuki Organization.
The original host also joined the Akatsuki Organization and became Asana's companion.
By this time, the Wood Clone's Chakra was nearly depleted and it could no longer move. It sealed itself using Sealing Jutsu, waiting for Uchiha En to retrieve the Dragon Vein Chakra and bring it back, after which Uchiha En would receive these memories.
The Wood Clone sealed itself for over a year before Uchiha En brought it back. Upon its return, the Wood Clone dissipated, and Uchiha En received these memories.
"A parallel dimension? Interesting!" Uchiha En murmured to himself.
In this parallel dimension, the Wood Clone actually only did two things: first, helping the original host grow, and second, saving Asana.
But these two things alone completely altered the course of history from the original work.
The Uchiha Clan was not destroyed; instead, they adopted the second elder's plan, left Konoha, settled in the Land of Fire's capital, and slowly transformed the Land of Fire's Daimyo into an Uchiha, thereby gaining actual control of the Land of Fire.
What's more interesting is that the Hyuga Clan actually defected with them.
And in this scenario, Naruto and Sasuke would have no bonds whatsoever.
Because Sasuke was taken to the Land of Fire's capital and never even met Naruto.
So, how would the future plot unfold?
Thinking of this, Uchiha En became even more curious about the future of this parallel dimension.
Unfortunately, Uchiha En wasn't sure if he could return to that world by reopening the Dragon Vein's seal.
"Forget it, I'll try if I get the chance later!" With that, Uchiha En Shunshin teleported away from Rōran.
He arrived in a desert outside, formed hand signs, summoned Lightning, and then poured all the Dragon Vein Chakra into it.
After Lightning absorbed the Dragon Vein Chakra, its internal Chakra surged, but its body began to slowly shrink.
From being about the size of the bird Pain's Animal Path summoned, it became half its original size.
"You absorbed so much, why did you shrink?" Uchiha En asked.
"Probably because I underwent an evolution and need to regrow! And now I can freely change my size."
"Is that so? Well, that's good news. Alright, you take your time getting used to your new power, I'm leaving now." With that, Uchiha En's figure vanished from the spot.
Uchiha En Shunshin teleported directly to Orochimaru's laboratory in the Sound Village.
Asana had already completed her Kāma. She carved three Kāma onto her clones.
Uchiha En frowned when he saw these three clones, because he noticed that they did not have the characteristics of the Ōtsutsuki Clan; instead, they looked exactly like Asana before.
"Asana, why don't they have the characteristics of the Ōtsutsuki Clan?" Uchiha En asked.
"Perhaps because pure Ōtsutsuki Clan bloodline cannot be replicated this way.
Teacher Orochimaru and I have tried many times, and each time the clones of me do not have the Ōtsutsuki Clan bloodline. However, with the Kāma, once it unfreezes, they will also be Ōtsutsuki."
"Can you control them freely?"
"Of course. En, don't you think Kāma is very similar to Teacher Orochimaru's Cursed Seal? Both are given by the strong to the weak. Once the Cursed Seal activates, the body also undergoes certain changes, and Teacher Orochimaru's will resides within the Cursed Seal, allowing him to transfer bodies this way. Kāma possesses these same characteristics."
"You mean Orochimaru has seen Kāma before?" Uchiha En asked, He paused for a moment (lèng yīxià) startled.
"I haven't seen Kāma, but I've seen something similar to Kāma." Orochimaru, who had just walked over, pointed to Asana's forehead and said.
Uchiha En turned his head and said, "Isn't that the Yin Seal?"
"That's right, that's what's truly similar to Kāma. My Cursed Seal only borrowed some of the Yin Seal's structure."
"So that's it. Nijo, do you know about Kāma?" Uchiha En asked Nijo.
"Never heard of it, but I know the Yin Seal wasn't created out of thin air by the Uzumaki Clan; it borrowed from some other Jutsu," Nijo replied.
"Borrowed, huh? Then that's most likely it. I never thought the Yin Seal had such origins."
"Oh, right, En, I almost forgot, there's something I need to tell you." Asana's words interrupted Uchiha En's thoughts.
"What is it?" Uchiha En asked.
"I plan to teach Hinata some things different from the Hyuga Clan, such as the Rokushiki you taught me, and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Hinata's Chakra affinity, like mine before, is Lightning and Fire.
Plus, the Hyuga Clan's Taijutsu clearly has shortcomings, and I want to help Hinata make up for that."
"Alright! She's your disciple, do as you please, you can teach her however you want," Uchiha En said.
"Mainly because some of the things I want to teach her are things you gave me, so I wanted to ask for your permission!"
"Between us, there's no need to ask for permission. What's mine is yours."
Uchiha En's attitude was very pleasing to Asana. Sometimes, women don't need anything else; they just need a man's attitude.
