Naruto : Sequence 0 Visionary

At this moment, the woman next to him, who had been tortured beyond recognition, let out a painful groan.

In his fury, Shisui was immediately drenched with cold water, his mind suddenly clearing up. He turned toward the sound, as though he had found a chance for redemption.

The Uchiha clan had been slaughtered, with only a few remaining. Every single clan member was crucial to him now, and he couldn't afford to lose anyone.

Shisui wasted no time, quickly running over in a few large steps. He crouched down and anxiously checked on the woman.

Though he wasn't a trained medical ninja, just a quick glance made his mood turn heavy: "Hold on a little longer. I'm going to find a medical ninja right now. You have to hold on!"

The chances of surviving such severe injuries were slim.

Unless, of course, the legendary "Sannin," Tsunade, were here. But the problem was, that woman had been out of sight for a long time, and it was far too late to rely on her now.

Shisui wasn't going to give up on her. She was one of the last remaining members of the Uchiha clan. 

He bent down and carefully lifted her in his arms, preparing to go find a medical ninja when, suddenly, the woman, barely clinging to life, summoned an unbelievable strength. 

She grabbed his wrist tightly, her voice hoarse, repeating the same words over and over.

"Help... help me."

"Please... help me."

The woman desperately pleaded, forcing her bloodshot eyes open.

"Okay, tell me, how can I help you?" Shisui said, nervously watching her, feeling at a loss.

After receiving his promise, the woman seemed to summon the last of her strength. Trembling, she lifted her head and gazed at her swollen belly.

"Child... I can't hold on much longer. Please, take the baby out... raise them... please..."

What?!

Shisui was shocked by the request. His mind froze for half a second as he stared blankly at the woman and her swollen belly.

"Please..."

The woman's bloodstained fingers gripped Shisui's wrist tightly, her eyes full of desperation and pleading.

She was dying, but the child inside her still had a chance to survive.

At this moment, as a mother, the strength she found wasn't for her own survival, but to beg Shisui to save her child!

Shisui's lips turned pale, his eyes trembling as his mind battled with the decision.

He knew this was the best option.

Given the woman's injuries, even if she made it to the Konoha hospital, her chances of survival were slim.

But for him to personally cut the unborn child from her womb—despite being accustomed to death and violence—Shisui felt a chill. He hesitated.

"Please... please..."

Her voice grew weaker, and blood continued to pour from her mouth. "Save the child... take it out..."

After struggling with his emotions, Shisui clenched his teeth, his eyes reddening, and nodded heavily. "Okay... I'll save you. Hang in there!"

He pulled out his kunai and looked at the woman's swollen belly again. His hesitation grew heavier.

He had always believed that a ninja, familiar with bloodshed and death, would not hesitate once they made a decision.

But in that moment, Shisui's hand shook as if he couldn't even hold the kunai properly.

The woman looked at him gently, then lifted her bloodstained hand to rest lightly on his.

"It's okay... don't be afraid. I'm not in pain."

Her comforting words gave Shisui the courage to act.

He took a deep breath, gripping the kunai tightly. Then, cautiously, as if performing a delicate surgery, he peeled away the eggshell without breaking the thin membrane inside.

The sharp kunai cut through the woman's abdomen, slicing through layers of muscle. Bright red blood poured out.

Soon, as the abdomen was opened, Shisui saw the baby inside, wrapped in amniotic fluid, curled up into a small ball. Its skin was red and wrinkled, and the belly was connected by an umbilical cord.

Cutting the umbilical cord to completely separate the baby from the mother, this painful "surgery" that tortured Shisui's heart was finally coming to an end.

Throughout the entire process, the woman did not make a sound, remaining silent as though afraid to disturb him.

"Look, this is your child, very healthy," Shisui said, his eyes red. He was moved by the woman's will. Gently, he held the baby and placed it in front of the woman, wanting her to see the child she had brought into the world, a life saved by her sacrifice. "It's a girl. Name her."

"...Sasuke."

The woman's eyes filled with love, intense and passionate, like a bright light shining in the darkness. "I hope she can have good luck and live a strong life."

Sasuke. It means "help others" or "help oneself," symbolizing the hope that the child would live a life full of good fortune and success.

But in this moment, the mother's hope was for the child to have the strength to survive, aided by good fortune.

"Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke," Shisui whispered the name softly, looking at the mother. He said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I'll raise Sasuke."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

After receiving his promise, the woman finally closed her tired eyes in peace.

So much had happened this night.

The S-rank rogue ninja Obito's invasion had caused the tailed beasts to go out of control. Kushina Uzumaki, the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, died, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was severely injured and near death.

Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya had joined forces to repel Obito and resealed the tailed beast into the body of the newly born child from the Uzumaki clan, Naruto Uzumaki.

On the other side, Mr. A from the Aurora Order took advantage of the situation, indirectly causing the Uchiha Clan to be wiped out. 

Uchiha Mikoto's whereabouts remain unknown, while the true culprit, Uchiha Itachi, was labeled an S-rank rogue ninja. He became the youngest and most dangerous rogue ninja in the history of the ninja world, at just five years old.

Konoha Hospital.

Just-born Sasuke and Naruto were coincidentally placed in the same nursery room.

One is the last remaining bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, with the Nine-Tails sealed inside him. He is a hero who saved Konoha and the son of the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze. 

The other is from the legendary Uchiha clan, one of the last remaining bloodlines. He awakened his Sharingan the moment he was born, a natural born prodigy just like Itachi.

It was easy to predict that, in the near future, both would display extraordinary talents, perhaps even shocking the entire ninja world.

But no one noticed that there was another "being" in the nursery room with the two babies.

An elderly figure, with short horns on his forehead, three eyes, long white beard, and wearing what looked like a monk's robe, was holding a black staff. It was none other than the legendary Sage of the Six Paths.

He gazed at the two infants in the cradles, his eyes filled with kindness and warmth, and softly spoke: "Indra, Ashura, I hope that in this lifetime, as Mr. Adam said, you can truly resolve the thousand-year-long conflict between you two in this way."
