 * No.

'''3. Konoha Uchiha: How did your Uchiha or their family survive/escape the Uchiha massacre that happened in Konoha seven years later after the Nine-Tails Attack. What happened to him/her after escaping their death? (Skip to question 4, if your Uchiha does not hail from the Uchiha Compound in Konoha)'''


 * Born during the conflict of the, Yasakani found himself thrown to the front lines by the age of six. Despite all odds he miraculously survived. In that war he discovered something about himself, a terrible secret that would forever change him. He had thought he would have been terrified of the constant fighting, that the horror and trauma of his experience would damage him. He was wrong. After burying his kunai into the neck of an Iwa shinobi in a land not his own, he felt for the first time what war meant to him; happiness. Not the sort that comes from wanton bloodlust, but an intense appreciation for the beauty that can only be found in conflict. Each time he entered battle with an adversary, their true nature had shown itself to him like a blazing beacon for all to see. But when the war ended, so too did his fantasy. He returned home, a grunt among a legion of heroes. But as he walked through the streets of Konoha, a new era of peace settled in like a thick fog. In the words of peers his experiences left him 'severely scarred' and 'heavily traumatized' by the events, due to his inability to adapt to the peace. But Yasakani knew the truth. He was reeling from the loss of the war itself having found purpose in conflict.


 * He resolved to never again leave that magnificent field of glory, and with a determined spirit, he pushed himself in training, in learning, devouring all the knowledge he could. In the interim he would demonstrate tremendous skill and battle prowess, taking on numerous high-risk missions. The war had been good to him, it had promoted him from a mere genin to a respected Chuunin by the tender age ten. Despite growing concerns for his mental health, Yasakani was very careful in showcasing a rather reserved even aristocratic demeanor, calm and collected. He never once raised his voice in anger and was cordial to his peers. Finding no cause to prevent his continued ascension through the ranks, he was soon promoted into Konoha's after a decisive victory in a pitched battle against a rogue ninja, saving his allies from certain death. Now serving on the deadliest missions ever to grace Konoha, Yasakani had finally found his peace.


 * Several years later, and six months prior to the, Yasakani was assigned a long-term covert mission. He was tasked with infiltrating a highly influential group of nobles who to his shock had developed a game out of wars by proxy across the borders of Konoha. His original task was simply reconnaissance, however once he learned of their motivations he collaborated with his village to instead turn a profit. Yasakani was successful in this endeavor and began forging sowing discord among the allied nobles. By the time of the massacre, relations had deteriorated to such an extent that nobles who were once staunch allies had become bitter enemies, obsessed with pouring their wealth into funding their own private army to wage in near open war. His objective was to maneuver the nobles into a position where the war would escalate to the point where they would be forced to hire outside help to tip the balance and quell the uprising. Specifically by hiring from its bordering nation .


 * The crux of his plan came into play when he manipulated several nobles into playing their hands too soon, forcing the others into open warfare. The nobles began launching attacks against one another, but to their horror discovered that the armies they had privately funded had begun ransacking their own estates and lands. Yasakani had intended to intervene and fake his own death while an extraction team retrieved him, and let the chaos of the conflict spiral out of control killing everyone involved. Yet to his confusion no team arrived, and he was forced to salvage the situation. Yasakani ended up assassinating the leaders of these rogue groups, using an known alias as the bodyguard of his "noble" persona. The other nobles now indebted to Yasakani for saving their livelihoods and families thanked him profusely and resolved their differences and settled back into an amicable alliance. Six months of effort had literally gone to waste.


 * Infuriated at the loss of his mission, but equally worried as to why there was no extraction team, Yasakani made discreet inquires as to the status of his home. To his horror he discovered that not only had his clan been attacked, all save for had been slaughtered. His parents, siblings even his lover, all dead. What was even more disturbing was that they were supposedly killed by, a known ally and friend. Yasakani was devastated, the once proud and powerful Uchiha clan, reduced to a smattering few. When they were still a mercenary clan they were hailed as the strongest of all, rivaled only by the Senju. The false promises of Hashirama, the mediocrity of their position as the Police Force, all attempts to weaken their resolve, shackle their strength. Then in the dead of night they were killed without nary a whisper. Peace was a disease that weakened them. Death was inevitable. Yasakani swore vengeance against this betrayal. Now without a home to return to, Yasakani remained under his alias of a noble.

'''4. Madara’s Splinter: If your Uchiha’s lineage descends from Madara’s Splinter group, why did they go with him? And for what reason did they abandon him to start a new life? What effects does this have on your Uchiha? (If this does not address your Uchiha, please skip to question 5)'''

5. Other survival reason:

'''6. In short explain the awakening of the Sharingan. What kind of effects had the dōjutsu on the relevant Uchiha? How did the dōjutsu improve the capabilities of the Uchiha combat-wise? (Optional: If you have more to add than what is asked, please do. Skip this question if your Uchiha does not awaken the Sharingan)'''


 * Yasakani awakened the Sharingan in the same manner as his ancestors before him; through blood and battle. Most Uchiha unlock their birthright in the throes of combat, the threat of death and the emotional distress serving as the catalyst to awakening the Sharingan. Curiously, it was not in response to such conditions that Yasakani unlocked his Sharingan. It was the very moment that he had gained his first kill. An intense wave of euphoria drowned the clashing of blades and the cries of the dying as ebony eyes transformed to crimson red. Liquid fire erupted within his veins with the same intensity as the blood spurting from the neck of his kill. It is said that a son of the Uchiha awakens the sharingan when he looks upon a god of death and see his eyes reflected in them. But here, he stared into the abyss, but the abyss blinked first, and paid with its life. The clarify of his vision was such that all things before him were naught, he could read the movements of his enemies as though they were an open book. Every strategy, every tactic, every moving part of their body and stray thought had suddenly become so clear to see. He found that with an almost casual ease he could slip into their mind, and like a master puppeteer make them dance to his whim. It was an intoxicating feeling. The absolute power he commanded, and he was drawn to it like a moth to the flame. His prowess in particular with genjutsu is what has made him so accomplished as an instigator for conflict across the elemental nations.

'''7. What does the Curse of Hatred mean to your Uchiha? What is it symbolizing? And how does it affect him/her?'''


 * The is but a silly philosophy espoused by a man consumed by his lust for vengeance, passing off his condition as though it were some kind taint infecting all Uchiha. Yasakani dismisses the notion entirely. Contrary to what he believes however is that there is indeed a curse that plagues every Uchiha but how it manifests can be very unique. For most the Curse of Hatred is their darkness, a path treaded by those consumed by hatred. But for others, this curse manifests in a different variety. Yasakani is consumed by the Curse of Madness (癲狂の呪い, Tenkyou no Norori), brought about by his profound love of war. His philosophy is so centered around conflict that he can see nothing else. It is the reason that only when there is war is he finally at peace. It warps his mind into seeing peace as a lie, that only in battle is the true potential of a shinobi brought out. It is where boys become men, where men walk beside the Shinigami, and where humanity's essence is revealed. He believes that only in a world of strife can people overcome their limitations and ascend to an even higher state of existence.
