Chapter 201:
My name is Uchiha Mikoto. I am fifteen years old, and I hail from the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire. Although I'm a girl, I am already a chūnin—and not just any chūnin, but one who possesses the Sharingan.
The Sharingan is the Uchiha clan's unique kekkei genkai.
Being a chūnin means being a ninja capable of holding one's own on the battlefield.
Of course, these details aren't the most important. What truly matters is how I awakened my Sharingan.
There are widespread rumors that the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is cursed, that its awakening requires going through intense emotional pain and tears.
But that wasn't the case for me.
I remember first awakening my eyes at the age of eleven when I met Orochimaru-sama.
That night, he gave me a special potion.
Following the advice of my father and the clan head, I took it.
