You slowly approach consciousness surrounded by bright lights, loud noises, and in the hands of giants. Overwhelmed by your new situation, your immediate response is to:
[ ] Get away from whatever the hell this is!
[ ] Cry out for help!
[ ] Freeze up, your tiny body can't handle this level of stress!
As the giants dote on you, you slowly start to comprehend exactly what the situation is. You can barely make out anything through your blurry eyes, and the sounds are too loud to be discernible as anything other than a roar, but the loving embrace of the giants whose arms you're in is unmistakable. It's a mother's embrace. Somehow, your death wasn't so permanent, and you've been born again. This realization drives you over the edge, and your immature mind needs rest. As you drift off you reach out and grab a few strands of:
[ ] Midnight black
[ ] Rich brown
[ ] Dirty blonde
[ ] Fiery red
hair, and swiftly begin to dream of your last memory:
Difficulty (better benefits come with worse detriments and a promise from the QM to make things more difficult.)
[ ] HARD: Facing down two monsters in human form to secure the future of your brother's dream (Once and Future Shinobi +30 to first 50 learning/training rolls related to the ninja arts and +10 from thereon after, Will of Fire 20% faster relationship gain with Konoha officials, Crouching Uchiha Hidden Senju 20% slower relationship gain with Uchiha Clan, The Awkward Brother -5 to all social and diplomacy rolls and 5% slower relationship gains overall, Fanatically Loyal 10% slower relationship gains to non-Konoha residents and 10% faster relationship loss, Water Spirit greatly increased water affinity, 10% more difficulty in learning elemental techniques outside of water release. Added benefit of in-world knowledge for character.)
[ ] DIFFICULT: Trying to stop your idiot boyfriend from getting killed while he was saving your sister and somehow ending up dead yourself (True Genius +10 to ALL learning roles period; Average One increased affinity to all five elements; Perfectly Poised Chakra Control starts at one full rank higher; High Quality Circuits Chakra Capacity starts one full rank higher, Rightfully Arrogant 10% faster relationship gains with Uchiha Clan but 10% slower relationship gain with all others; Apparent Bastard relationship with Uchiha Clan starts two full ranks lower)
[ ] MODERATE: Appeasing a god alongside the only tolerable human in this world (Hardened Durability starts one rank higher; Physical +10 to all taijutsu learning/training rolls; Wild Child all senses improved by one full rank, 10% slower relationship gain with Uchiha, Hyuuga, and nobility, 10% faster relationship gain with Inuzuka, +10 to all summoning related learning/training rolls.)
[ ] LIGHT: The memories are covered in a haze of red, but at least the one you loved kept his promise, even if that promise was to kill you (Drain -5 to ALL enemy combat rolls, 10% chance to automatically disrupt genjutsu cast within a 10 m radius; Conceptual Regeneration all injuries take one less turn to heal; Not Quite Right ALL relationship gains are 10% slower.)
[ ] EASY: Ending the cycle of hate, for you could never strike against the one you loved (True Dojutsu Only applicable after sharingan is activated 10% damage reduction from all ninjutsu, +10 to all dodge rolls against ninjutsu, +10 to all genjutsu detection rolls, +10 to all genjutsu learning/training rolls, 10% faster reputation gain with Uchiha Clan)
First person to correctly guess all five characters gets a free intermediate rank to add to one of Masako's stats.
[Important]
Detriments are heavily focused on reputation/relationships for a reason. The time period is ~9 years before the Kyuubi's release by Obito. As such, if you wish to survive there are really only three realistic routes I have thought of (you are welcome to suggest more):
1. Becoming too powerful to be killed by Itachi
2. Becoming too integral to the village to be killed by Itachi
3. Becoming respected enough in the Uchiha clan to influence the chain of events by the time you are 17.
As such, reputation will be extremely important for preventing bad ends.

Quest Mechanics
Rolls: Almost all rolls will be done by 1d100, but I will specify in unique circumstances.
Stats/Ranks: The primary stats are Strength, Speed, Durability (split into resistance and health), Intelligence, Perception (split into 5 senses and 'intuition'), Chakra (split into capacity and control), Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu. Secondary stats might be added later.
Strength will not directly factor into any rolls that aren't specifically strength checks, but will be necessary for almost all taijutsu related skills. Rank-up skills will almost always be combat related.
Speed will factor into combat rolls heavily. Half of the speed bonus will be added to all combat rolls, and the full speed bonus will be added to all dodge rolls. Speed will also be necessary for learning many skills.
Durability is split into two secondary stats. A high resistance means that damage below a certain threshold will be ignored, and high health means that the MC will be able to take more damage before reaching a bad end. Durability also factors into rolls involving poison, injuries, and sickness. Durability might be required for some skills.
Intelligence will provide a bonus to learning rolls and will be required for almost all skills. Intelligence related skills can offer benefits to learning, perception, and more.
Perception will affect rolls based on the sense(s) being used, with intuition adding a flat bonus to all perception rolls. Perception will be used for tracking, poison detection, genjutsu detection, and ambush rolls.
Chakra will be required to perform ninjutsu, genjutsu, and (depending on the skill) taijutsu. Almost all skills will have a chakra capacity and chakra control requirement to be used effectively.
Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu provide a bonus to learning/training rolls involving the three, and can provide bonuses during combat depending on the skill used.
There will be two stat/ranking systems used in this Quest. The first will be an alphabet based system used for character stats, going F/E/D/C/B/A/S with '+'s in between. Every four '+,' or intermediate, rank increases, will be followed by a letter, or full, rank increase. Exp starts at 100 per intermediate rank, but increases by 100 each full rank, before doubling once reaching 'A.' Every letter rank will give a technique/skill relevant to the stat, starting at rank 'D.' In addition to the letter based ranking, a number will be given which shows the bonus given on stat checks.
F is the overall ability level of any young child.
E is the overall ability level of an untrained, untalented civilian.
D is the overall ability level of the average member of the Genin corps (no Jounin sensei)
C is the overall ability level of the average member of the Chunin corps (non Chunin-exams promoted)
B is the overall ability level of the average Tokubetsu Jounin
A is the overall ability level of the average Jounin
S is the minimum ability level of the 5 kage.
The above are general guidelines, genin can have stats well above and below D, and chunin can have stats well above and below C, but across the board when you look at them as a collective the average will come out to C.
The second stat/ranking system used will be for reputation/relationships. The rankings are Abhorred, Despised, Hated, Disliked, Tolderated, Neutral, Appreciated, Liked, Adored, Loved, Exalted. Necessary increases/decreases to advance/recede a level start at 200 exp and double with each rank. At loved, the necessary exp doubles twice. The requirements are as follows:
Neutral: 200 exp to Appreciated, below 0 falls to Tolerated
Appreciated: 400 exp to Liked
Liked: 800 exp to next Adored
Adored: 1600 exp to next Loved
Loved: 6400 exp to Exalted
Tolerated: -400 exp to Disliked
Disliked: -800 exp to Hated
Hated: -1600 exp to Despised
Despised: -3200 exp to Abhorred
Experience: Experience will be added through learning/training rolls, and crit rolls when a stat is being actively used.
Rewards: Non-canon omakes can earn the following rewards if they're good enough: 1d100 training roll for desired stat/skill, +5-10 for next 1-5 rolls, or 1-5 extra votes. If an omake is good/relevant enough I'll make it canon and the rewards can range from free intermediate rank(s) to a chosen stat, +10-15 for next 5-10 rolls, or 5-10 extra votes. If the omake is truly exceptional I'll tack on rewards as I please regardless of whether it's canon or not.
Bonuses for rank-ups/crits will be applied with the following roll scheme:
01-20: Extra 1d100 training roll
21-30: Poor active perk/skill
31-40: Poor passive perk/skill
41-50: Decent active perk/skill
51-60: Decent passive perk/skill
51-70: Good active perk/skill
71-80: Good passive perk/skill
81-90: Great active perk/skill
91-99: Great passive perk/skill
100: Amazing perk/skill
Bonuses can be either new perks/skill, or can be level ups for existing ones.
In addition, a multi-crit will give a d10 roll for each crit roll, which will add up for an additional bonus. For example, a 6x crit will give a 6d10 which will use the above scheme to determine a bonus.

[X] Get away from whatever the hell this is!
It takes a few months for you to really come to terms with what has happened, and you're extremely glad that your brain isn't functional enough to feel embarrassment, because the old you would be absolutely mortified by the amount of time you spent squirming around trying to physically extricate yourself from your situation.
Perk Gained: Active Child

Perk Gained: Active Child
[X] Dirty blonde
As if it weren't a great enough insult to make you a child, the gods have seen fit to make you a female child. That's not even the worst part, not at all. Through blurry visions you've managed to make out the ones you're supposed to call 'mother' and 'father.'
Your mother isn't so bad. Looking at her appearance and build she seems to be a civilian born shinobi: you weren't aware of any clans with those particular features, and there's no way a civilian would roof-hop with you in hand to get to the market. No, it's your father who's the problem. He's an Uchiha. YOU are an Uchiha. You lived a whole lifetime keeping that group of liars and backstabbers at bay, and now you're one of them. You'd honestly have rather been born outside of Konoha.
Just thinking about your new lineage makes you so angry that you start squirming again.
Perk Gained: Scrappy

After a few more weeks of practicing the few anger management tips you still remember from the Yamanaka, you come to realize that your situation is quite good. You may be horrified by your own body, buy your mind hasn't changed, and this scenarios offers additional benefits. The Uchiha Clan Library was known to be the greatest treasure trove of information on ninjutsu in the world, and you could never get access to it, no matter how many times you apologized for killing dozens of Uchiha. Regardless, it was now available to you, or at least it would be once you could actually function.
That brought you to your primary concern. You are a baby. A newborn baby. As it stands you can't do anything at all. You'll have to fix that.
Traits Gained: Once and Future Shinobi, Will of Fire, Crouching Uchiha Hidden Senju, The Awkward Brother, Fanatically Loyal, Water Spirit

I was almost rethinking my decision to leave the SB and SV quests combined due to the votes. Dirty blonde won out by an impossible margin on SV, but it wasn't even in the running on SB. If the discrepancy had been in the difficulty levels then I definitely would have left them separate, but the mother's identity wasn't big enough of a change for me to justify it in the end.
In all honesty I'm fairly split on how I feel about the votes. The perk from Dirty Blonde was definitely the best in terms of power adquisicion, as I honestly didn't expect anyone to choose it. Midnight black was likely Uchiha, rich brown was likely Hyuuga, and fiery red was likely Uzumaki, so I didn't really expect anyone to pick the dirty blonde wildcard, but it happened anyways.
In terms of the difficulty, I was honestly leaning towards [DIFFICULT], because I felt like writing an Uchiha Rin would be wonderful, but the irony of Uchiha Tobirama is also delicious. The three lower difficulty options are also characters I think would be amazing in the Naruto world, so in all likelihood I'll eventually end up starting sibling quests with only those four as options.
Congratulations to The Creeping Darkness for correctly guessing the identity of San from Princess Mononoke for [MODERATE], and Blonddude42 for correctly guessing Oboro from Basilisk for [EASY]. Since no one guessed all vife no free intermediate ranks, but you can each get a d100 roll for your stat of choice. If no stat is specified I'll just d10 it again like I did for the participation bonus. I honestly expected [EASY] to be the stump, not [LIGHT], so nice job Blonddude42. ShadowAngelBeta was closest on [LIGHT], and SouvikKundu was barely close for one small reason, I don't really want to say what that reason is because it'll be a dead giveaway.
Either way, this is now Uchiha Quest: Silver Edition. I hope to do one for Rin, San, Oboro, and our mystery XO as well, so keep a lookout!
Also, I've added a lot of info to the Quest Mechanics and Character Sheets, so check them out if you'd like.
Voting is now open, and probably won't remain open for more than two days. These first 4-5 updates will be fairly short so I don't want to spend too much time on what's essentially a spaced out chargen.

You are Sako-ch– no. You are Tobirama Senju, veteran shinobi, and co-founder of Konoha. As such, you are well aware of the importance of communication in an effective unit. You have spent the months leading up to your first birthday perfecting your ability to receive and give instructions; at least to the extent that your baby body can handle.
In doing so you have discovered some things which are... interesting. Certain traits of your young body are already proving to be, dare you say, superior to your earlier vessel of Senju perfection. Your sensory abilities are quite frankly absurd. You know, intellectually, that your are a 12 month old baby, and as a result you shouldn't be able to see more than a hundred feet in front of you, to hear more than basic sounds, or to feel more than general temperatures or rough textures.
Somehow your body seems to have ignored the standard childhood development chart, even the one for children born to shinobi (you should know you invented it), and has skipped ahead by months, in some cases years. No wonder the Uchiha were so hard to extermi–fight against. They must have been able to sense you from miles away.
All of this thinking has made you hungry. "Kaa! Mil!"

Your sensory abilities are quite frankly absurd. You know, intellectually, that your are a 12 month old baby, and as a result you shouldn't be able to see more than a hundred feet in front of you, to hear more than basic sounds, or to feel more than general temperatures or rough textures.
Somehow your body seems to have ignored the standard childhood development chart, even the one for children born to shinobi (you should know you invented it), and has skipped ahead by months, in some cases years. No wonder the Uchiha were so hard to extermi–fight against. They must have been able to sense you from miles away.
All of this thinking has made you hungry. "Kaa! Mil!"
Skill gained: Superficial Communication!

The few months you spent without chakra were among the most harrowing of your life. Thankfully, it only took a few days of intense focus for you to once again access your wellspring of energy. Your yang reserves are pitiful, as you'd expected, but your yin reserves are so extraordinary that it almost makes up for the former. You know that you may never reach the chakra potency of your Senju body, but this should be more than acceptable.
You have spent quite a bit of time training your chakra in secret, and have found that your early actions have a number of benefits. Most children start training with chakra at an age where their reserves are at least noticeable, which means any sense of other's chakra will normally be overwhelmed by the sense of one's own.
Your reserves do not qualify as 'noticeable.' Almost everything else has more chakra than you, which means everything is very easy to sense. The other day you saw a cat with larger chakra reserves than you. This cat was terrifying.
Unfortunately your covert chakra training sessions weren't so covert, as your fathers eyes caught you 'playing' with your internal chakra network one night. There do not seem to be any negative consequences so far to his discovery, in fact, the only consequence seems positive, as your mother has begun actively aiding you in training your chakra through simple exercises.
You are simply happy about the utility of her actions, not because your mother's chakra is the most comforting thing you've ever felt.
Unfortunately, your chakra isn't the only thing your parents have discovered. Somehow they seem to have realized that you actually understand the words written on paper, not just the words they read aloud to you. You're not certain how you slipped up (you blame your father's eyes anyways), but the consequences are horrific. Your grandparents were visiting when this was revealed.
Your Uchiha grandparents. Your Uchiha grandparents who are now ecstatic. The Uchiha as a whole are now ecstatic because of your supposed genius. You have committed the gravest sin of all by making the Uchiha happy. It makes you want to curse up a storm.
In fact, you think you will curse up a storm. The last time you did so your mother berated your father thoroughly. Heh. Tormenting Uchiha will never get old. You plainly ignore the fact that you are now also an Uchiha.
Gained trait Active Chakra Network!
Gained skill Chakra Sense!
Gained training option Chakra with Nakamura Shiori!
Gained trait Apparent Genius!

You were successful, your words earned your father a night on the couch. Strangely this does not make you laugh as much as it did last month. You almost feel... bad for him? It's strange. Even though he's an Uchiha, he isn't so bad. For an Uchiha. You suppose you can lighten up on this particular specimen. The rest are still fair game.
Now it is time for deliberation. You are quite happy with your level of communication skill, and your chakra ability, you're not quite sure what you should work on next.
You have 1 (+1 from Scrappy) training action(s).

Holy crap those rolls were insane. The +40 bonus certainly helped, but there were so many rolls >80 and >90 that I can't even blame the bonus. I've been using the brockjones.com Online Die Roller, does anyone know if it's unreliable?
Anyways, I did my best to give bonuses for the crits without making things overwhelmingly good or being *too* stingy. (Yes I understand that a 5x crit should have unbelievable rewards, but this is also supposed to be HARD mode). I'm definitely ending the new player bonus, I have no problems with a powerful MC, but there are limits. Raven's Requiem can sit on their roll, but no one else.
As of right now The Creeping Darkness, Blonddude42, ShadowAngelBeta, and Redshirt Army each have a d100 stat roll for their stat of choice, and Raven's Requiem has a d50. Raven is sitting on theirs, but if the d100s aren't specified by next post I'm just going to d100 them.
Also I think I've figured out what I want to do to handle the reincarnation aspect. MC will start losing memories of Tobirama's life fairly soon, and over time (3-4 years) will begin to think of herself less and less as Tobirama and more as Masako. In return I'll do a roll at the end of each chapter for 'Past Life Memories,' and depending on the roll, MC will remember something related to their past life. A roll less than 10 will be something pretty mundane related to Tobirama's life in general, while rolling above 90 can be something like the secrets to the Hiraishin or Edo Tensei.

Update is in progress, but I wanted to ask a quick question. After only three votes I've already seen a decent divergence between SV and SB. I noted earlier that I wanted to start a new quest using the other four difficulty options some time, so I was thinking I should redo the SB thread, keeping it completely separate from the SV thread, which would allow those who wanted the crossover to also have their thread, while preventing the SV votes from overpowering the SB votes as they have twice already.
What do you thing? I've added a poll to the top of the Spacebattles post, so check it out HERE if you're interested.

Train 'Strength,' and 'Speed.' 65% chance of gaining skill 'Superficial Mobility.' 5% chance of gaining skill 'Basic Mobility.'
You've spent quite a bit of time over these past six months learning how to effectively use your small body, and you have reached a respectable degree of success. You can now successfully 'toddle' around your house and yard with no issue, and you no longer have to spend all day in that accursed crib.
Some may be satisfied with staying six months ahead of the average child's development, but they were never Tobirama Senju, so you've taught yourself to jump.
This seems to have reaffirmed your status as a genius in the eyes of your parents and clansmen. At this point you've managed to swallow the indignation you feel at making the Uchiha proud by convincing yourself that you're on a long term infiltration mission.
You're still not sure what the final objective of the mission is, but you've also managed to convince yourself that your 'superiors' will let you know once you've been properly situated. As such, it is only right for you to act as if you're delighted by their complements and praises. It is a sacrifice you must make for the mission.
Your brother gave you one very important skill while he was still alive; he taught you to delude yourself into rejecting reality. It made you an exceptional genjutsu user, especially considering the Senju's alignment with yang-natured chakra.

Your mother's 'lessons' in using chakra have been among the most enjoyable times of your life. The last time something so simple brought you so much happiness was before you and your brother were shipped off to war.
You're fairly certain your reserves and control haven't grown at any exceptional rate; however, your chakra sensing ability seems to have soared as you've become more attuned to your internal energy. Before you believed that your chakra sense was a byproduct of your early experiments with chakra. Now you're not so sure.
The amount of detail you can make out with your sensory technique is honestly absurd. If you didn't know better, you'd think yourself a Hyuuga. You're now fairly certain that your chakra sense is some sort of bloodline. It may have come from a distant ancestor on your mother's side, or it may be brand new. Either way it is yet another gift you have come across. You are certain you can put it to it's best use.
Your mother's lessons have also brought up some concerning facts. Earlier in the week you were attempting to go through some of the Chakra exercises from your childhood as a Senju, when you found that you couldn't remember them all.
Upon further deliberation, you realized that many of your memories have begun to grow fuzzy, and some fine details have disappeared altogether. You can still remember the faces and names of people you knew, Hashirama's imbecilic prattling, and to make seven batches on anpan for Mito on the third week of every month, but you can't remember the intricacies of the Edo Tensei, or the formula for the Hiraishin.
Will you eventually lose all memory of who you were? Or is some otherworldly power stipping away your useful knowledge. Both ideas concern you greatly. You must make the greatest use of what you know before it's too late.

You are now a one-and-a-half year old child in a world where children as young as four can be trained assassins. As such, you have a *little* bit of leeway in how you spend your time. What should you do?
Social Actions:
Choose [1]:
[ ] Spend more time helping your mother around the house. She's a fully-qualified Tokujo who's stuck at home because of you, try to make her time as enjoyable as possible.
[ ] Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate the Uchiha and... do... something... Your father is an Uchiha, investigate his potential crimes by using your apparent innocence as a cover.
[ ] Your father may be an Uchiha, but he's become somewhat removed from the clan. Despite his fairly rapid advancement of rank, and his 'genius daughter,' he still married a civilian-born: a capital offense in the eyes of some elders. You grandparents on the other hand are well-respected members of the clan, and have been wrapped around your fingers by their appreciation for your 'genius.' Spend time with them to root out their clandestine activities.
Training Actions (1+1 from Scrappy):
Choose [2]:
[ ] You've now covered the basics, you should start advancing a little bit, and look into things like bukijutsu. Train 'Strength,' 'Sight,' 'Touch,' and 'Intuition.' 65% chance to unlock skill 'Throwing,' 5% chance to unlock skill 'Bukijutsu.'
[ ] Now that you have some degree of mobility, you should start actively training your skills. Your father does his katas every morning. Perhaps you should mimic him and see what happens? Train 'Taijutsu.' 5% chance of gaining training option 'Taijutsu' with Uchiha Ryota.
[ ] Not only is it useful, it is also extremely enjoyable. Moments like these will become rarer with age. Make the most of the ones you have, especially if they simultaneously help you improve your skills. Train with Nakamura Shiori. Train 'Chakra' and 'Mind's Eye of Kagura' with an additional +10 to each roll.
[ ] Your physical abilities are acceptable, but not as exceptional as you'd like. According to Butsuma, Hashirama was doing headstands at your age. He didn't even have your advantages. He was probably talking out of his ass, but you don't want to miss a chance to finally beat your brother at something. Train 'Strength,' and 'Speed.' 5% chance of gaining skill 'Basic Acrobatics.'
[ ] You haven't really spent much time playing around with your exceptional senses. Your chakra sense may be exceptional, but you can think of several situations where it might not be enough. Perhaps you should see what your senses can really do? Train 'Perception' and 'Intelligence.' 5% chance to gain skill 'Tracking.'

Blonddude42's d100 came out to 60 and the d10 came out to 9. luckybreak91's d50 came out to 19, and the d10 came out to 7. Redshirt Army's d100 comes out to 45.
The dice seem to have mellowed out a bit, but the results are just as absurd here. I did the math, and theres over a 6.1% chance on getting a 7x crit with a +40 bonus. If you want to get a probability below 1%, you have to be looking for a 16x crit. I think that puts into perspective just how absurd a +40 bonus is. Thankfully there's only 22 rolls left before 'Once and Future Shinobi' becomes more reasonable, so I'm crossing my fingers for things to become more reasonable soon.
I was just kinda stumped with what to do with a 7x crit on Chakra Sense at first, so I decided what better way to avoid giving out OP bonuses in the early game by giving out a low-level OP ability. Still, I feel like this is the best course of action. Mind's Eye of Kagura has immense potential, as we know from Karin, but at level 1 it's not that overpowered. Karin would rank at lv. 7~lv. 8 (6300-12,700 exp total), and lv. 10 (51,100 exp) is basically Kaguya's byakugan. This may seem like a lot, but Karin can see a fairly detailed image of anything with chakra she focuses on in excess of ten kilometers. Giving Tobirama such an ability so quickly, alongside Keen Sense and a Trainer for Tracking... He'll be the world's best tracker by turn 10. This way it'll probably take until like turn 30 lol.
@DarkKing98 called it on Chakra Sensing lol. Also, your post gave me an idea for a great omake I'll probably put out with the next update.
Votes are now open! They will close at 2:00 PM EST June 11th, 2018.
Btw GM supports the option of starting over the quest on SB. Just saying.

Train 'Chakra' and 'Mind's Eye of Kagura' with an additional +10 to each roll.
Over the past six months you have continued training your chakra with your mother. The time spent together remains as pleasant as ever, if not even more so. Your sensory abilities seem to be normalizing to an extent. Your grasp over them has increased marginally, but compared to the improvements made over the first few months of your life they are nothing spectacular. Your chakra on the other hand seems to have gone through another small growth spurt; however, this is nothing unusual. Until the fourth birthday the growth of the chakra system is highly irregular, that much you can still remember.
Your mother; however, is not so easily appeased by the apparent 'regularity' of your growth. Your alarmingly rapid development seems to have frightened her. You've pretended to fall asleep in her arms quite a few times trying to eavesdrop on a particular reason why.. You think you've found it. Through months of listening in you've found out that there have been a handful of other cases of children in Konoha developing at unnatural rates. There other 'geniuses' have surpassed the genin requirements as early as five years of age.
You thought the days of young children being shipped off to war had gone. Apparently you were wrong. You admit to being disappointed in your student upon hearing this news. Your brother had wanted no child younger than twelve on the battlefield, and knowing the horrors of the warring clans era you had agreed vehemently.
Perhaps this was why you were sent back. To finish off a job that was only partially complete.

[11] Your physical abilities are acceptable, but not as exceptional as you'd like. According to Butsuma, Hashirama was doing headstands at your age. He didn't even have your advantages. He was probably talking out of his ass, but you don't want to miss a chance to finally beat your brother at something. Train 'Strength,' and 'Speed.' 5% chance of gaining skill 'Basic Acrobatics.'
There was no way in hell you were going to let yourself remain inferior to your brother for a second time. The first time around he had the advantage of way too much fucking chakra and a one-of-a-kind bloodline limit that could terraform a desert. This time he had the disadvantage of being dead, and you had the advantage of your past selves vast knowledge of exercise techniques.
Unfortunately increasing your speed wasn't really possible. Your stubby arms and legs just couldn't carry you much faster than an adults walking pace. Fortunately, the same restrictions didn't apply to your strength. Being a kid gave you the leeway to do weird shit without anyone asking too many questions. When you started picking things up from around the house and carrying them around in a massive stack, no one asked any questions. When you started doing the same thing standing on your hands and holding things up with your feet, you got quite a few weird looks, but inevitable they all turned to laughs and cheers.
These cheers meant you could use the excuse of positive reinforcement to start doing even more extreme things. Your parents had actually gotten a bit worried, and had ended up taking you to the doctors to see if everything was alright. The pediatrics department had assured them that you were more than healthy, and that you weren't actually the first case of an impossibly strong baby. Sometimes when a child started subconsciously reinforcing his or her strength with chakra, it ended up stimulating it's muscle growth to an extreme extent
Apparently you were the first known case of such a thing happening outside of the Senju clan. When that got out, your clan had become insufferably smug. If only they knew what you really were. On the upside, some of the more influential clan members were re-examining their views on marrying civilian born.

[9] Your father may be an Uchiha, but he's become somewhat removed from the clan. Despite his fairly rapid advancement of rank, and his 'genius daughter,' he still married a civilian-born: a capital offense in the eyes of some elders. You grandparents on the other hand are well-respected members of the clan, and have been wrapped around your fingers by their appreciation for your 'genius.' Spend time with them to root out their clandestine activities.
Your grandparents didn't seem to be interested in doing much more than fawn over you when you went to visit. They knew that you were a genius in name, but didn't seem to understand exactly what that meant aside from the fact that you could read picture books aloud to them at the age of two. This meant, unfortunately, that you didn't have a chance to snoop around and uncover their dastardly schemes. You did, however, learn one extremely useful piece of information while you were taking a 'nap.'
Your grandparents were old shinobi, and that meant they ended up in one of two categories: teachers or politicians. They were the latter, which meant that they were privy to things most weren't, like the fact that there would likely be war soon. Did your mother know something about this? Maybe that had something to do with why she was so worried.
The more things changed, the more they stayed the same.

It appears you'll be seeing the battlefield in a child's body for a second time. You can't afford to be passive in your training, you'll have to step things up. You have (2+1 from Scrappy) actions to distribute. You may place multiple points in one action.
Distribute [3] Training Points:
[ ] You've now covered the basics, you should start advancing a little bit, and look into things like bukijutsu. Train 'Strength,' 'Sight,' 'Touch,' and 'Intuition.' 65% chance to unlock skill 'Throwing,' 5% chance to unlock skill 'Bukijutsu.'
[ ] Now that you have some degree of mobility, you should start actively training your skills. Your father does his katas every morning. Perhaps you should mimic him and see what happens? Train 'Taijutsu.' 5% chance of gaining training option 'Taijutsu' with Uchiha Ryota.
[ ] Not only is it useful, it is also extremely enjoyable. Moments like these will become rarer with age. Make the most of the ones you have, especially if they simultaneously help you improve your skills. Train with Nakamura Shiori. Train 'Chakra' and 'Mind's Eye of Kagura' with an additional +10 to each roll.
[ ] Your physical abilities are exceptional, and that's precisely why you should push them further. It's always smart to play to your strengths. Train 'Strength,' and 'Speed.'
[ ] You haven't really spent much time playing around with your exceptional senses. Your chakra sense may be exceptional, but you can think of several situations where it might not be enough. Further, the Uchiha have the gift of the Sharingan. You may not have it yet, but the more you train for it now, the better it can serve you later. Perhaps you should see what your senses can really do? Train 'Perception' and 'Intelligence.' 5% chance to gain skill 'Tracking.'
Happy times become rarer during war. You know this well. Savor them while they last.
Choose [2]:
[ ] Spend more time helping your mother around the house. She's a fully-qualified Tokujo who's stuck at home because of you, try to make her time as enjoyable as possible.
[ ] You've admittedly become somewhat attached to your father, despite his undesirable heritage. Perhaps getting to know him better wouldn't be out of question.
[ ] Your grandparents are obnoxious and demeaning, but at least they treat you with the kind of reverence you deserve. You would not be averse to spending more time with them, at the very least it will give you more time to learn about the inner workings of the clan.
[ ] You won't be the only child affected by the events to come. You should try to interact with some of the others near your physical age. At the very least you can help them prepare for what they may face.

As long as the +30 remains I'm fairly certain this is going to keep happening. The rolls just make things even worse. What is the need of a nat crit when you have a +35 modifier, tell me dice gods? There are only 7 +30 rolls remaining, so thankfully by the end of next turn training rolls should stabilize.
On the other hand, this is not entirely wrecking the power curve as I feared. If we were to continue at the same rate we have been for the past three turns until we reach 5 years old, we would be at a 'D' rank overall. That's not really that broken considering the fact that Kakashi did basically the same thing. Now that the +30 bonus is going to be lost soon, I'm going to have to start adding more training rolls to each turn in order to stop progression from stalling too much.
Anyways.
Praise to the Dice Gods.
Voting is now open!
EDIT: Apologies, I forgot it was only on SB (another reason the split was probably a good thing), but I'm doing crits differently this time. I'm going to keep a tally of the number of crits and the stat they were tied to, and then when MC enters the academy I'll start rolling to assign the bonuses. The tally of crit bonus rolls is going to be at the bottom in a spoiler tag.
EDIT 2: Rank up perk will be applied on academy entrance in order to make more sense in terms of the timeline.

Perhaps you should see what your senses can really do? Train 'Perception' and 'Intelligence.' 5% chance to gain skill 'Tracking.'
Your efforts over the past few years allowed you to ignore your keen senses to a certain extent. The moment you went a few days without a goal to work towards, you began to notice them once again.
As such, you decided that your time would be well spent examining the full degree of your new sensory abilities.
Your eyes are by far the most effective organ in your body, letting you count the barbs on a bird's feather as it flies past the window, proving that even without the sharingan the Uchiha have an impressive sense of sight. Your other four senses are not nearly as exceptional, but they still show you a world you were never able to experience as Tobirama.
As a training exercise, you've spent a good number of days trying to locate as many people and animals as possible while seated still in a single location, using only your five senses. You use your chakra sense to check your work, and have found that you can achieve a startling degree of success, especially for someone with no formal training in tracking.
Before trying the exercise, you found that disabling your chakra sense left you feeling somewhat blind to the world. Now, you feel more like you're simply receiving a different perspective on the world around.

You started out throwing rocks across the lake as a strength exercise, not really caring about where the throws went. Once you started hitting the trees on the opposite bank, you reexamined the utility of your drill. It was a bit underwhelming, comparing the memories you had of Tobirama threading a kunai through an eye-socket a mile away, with the exercise of hitting tree-branches with rocks, but a child's imagination is a wonderous thing, so you made it work.
A few weeks after starting, you were faced with a great temptation. Your father had returned from a mission and had left his weapons pouch lying out in the open. On the one hand, you were a three year old child, and it was highly unsafe for a child of three to play around with kunai and shuriken. One the other... this was your chance!
Yeah there really wasn't much of a debate.
When your mother returned with groceries an hour later, she found you in the backyard clumsily tossing kunai and shuriken at a tree. What proceeded was the loudest dressing-down you had heard in this lifetime, for both you and your father, and a week-long grounding. On the upside, you confirmed that kunai and shuriken weren't really that much of a step up from rocks.

You had a theory to test out. When your parents caught you playing around with your chakra, they decided to coach you in order to ensure you learnt to use it right. When they caught you playing with weapons, they forbid you from doing so until you were older. What if, instead of one of the two catching you doing something, you went to them and started doing something with one of them already watching. Surely they would help you out.
The next morning you woke up early, and waited for your father in the yard in your training (play) clothes. As soon as he started his morning katas, you started following along as carefully as possible, in order to make the best impression. When he burst out into loud laughter, you were overcome with embarrassment. However, as soon as he regained control of himself, he came over to you and started actively guiding you through a set of forms. They were completely different from any of the hard-hitting, rigid forms of the Senju, but you found your body flowing into them with ease.

You were three years old when it finally happened... Your mother was finally called back into rotation, leaving you home along for a week with your father. You weren't quite certain why you were dreading the day so much. Was it because you finally had to stop lying to yourself?
Sure your father wasn't the same bastion of love, perfection, and oh-so-soothing chakra as your mother, but... neither was anyone else. At the same time, your father a was a far cry from the bloodthirsty monsters that would stab you through the body of a comrade that you had hated so deeply as Tobirama Senju.
You suppose it was finally time to give the man a chance. You were a bit stiff at first, which was easily dismissed under the excuse of separation anxiety, but after a few hours you found yourself warming up to the man. He was warm, light hearted, funny, spoiled you in ways your mother never would, and acted far more like a father than the warlord Butsuma. He was your father, and he loved you. You suppose it was time to accept that.
[11] You won't be the only child affected by the events to come. You should try to interact with some of the others near your physical age. At the very least you can help them prepare for what they may face.

On your mother's insistance, you decided to go with her to the park today. She claims you don't have many friends, and admittedly she's right. Tobirama had his brothers at the very least, you don't really have anyone but your parents.
Unfortunately it seems as if you made a miscalculation. The children at the park are... well... children.
You had hoped to see some glimmer if intelligence in at least a handful of them, but until now it never really set in how young three years old is: how young you are.
Wandering through the sea of squealing toddlers, you return to your mother's side and tug her hand.
"Okaa-chan... They're not smart..." you tell her. She looks down at you, trying to keep the sadness from her expression.
You raise your hands and she lifts you up.
"I'm sorry princess, I guess I forgot how special you are. They'll catch up to you soon enough, there's no need to worry," she reassures you, You're fairly certain she was also speaking to herself.
Either way her words wash over you. You tell yourself that you shouldn't really care. That as a shinobi of Konoha, nothing matters over your ability to perform your duty to your village.
Somehow you still hurt. Loneliness was never a concern in your past life. Tobirama always had someone to confide in, be it his brother or sister-in-law. You had no one of the sort.
You are now three years old. Your clan looks to you as the most promising child in the new generation, as such, they have assigned you a tutor. You tutor will be teaching you the basics of the shinobi arts until you reach the academy. Automatically train 'Strength,' 'Speed,' 'Chakra Control,' 'Taijutsu,' and 'Bukijutsu' every turn.
You do not want to rely exclusively on a tutor to advance your skills. You know that war is coming, you have to be prepared. You have (2+1 from Scrappy) actions to distribute. You may place multiple points in one action.
Distribute [3] Training Points:
[ ] You have an actual trainer for bukijutsu now, surely your mother won't mind if you practice some more in your free time. Train 'Bukijutsu' and 'Perception.'
[ ] You found yourself quite excited at the prospect of learning something completely new and useful with your father. Train with Uchiha Ryota. Train 'Taijutsu' and Uchiha Interceptor Fist.'
[ ] Not only is it useful, it is also extremely enjoyable. Moments like these will become rarer with age. Make the most of the ones you have, especially if they simultaneously help you improve your skills. Train with Nakamura Shiori. Train 'Chakra' and 'Mind's Eye of Kagura' with an additional +10 to each roll.
[ ] Your physical abilities are exceptional, and that's precisely why you should push them further. It's always smart to play to your strengths. Train 'Strength,' and 'Speed.'
[ ] You're becoming a tracking powerhouse, with your exceptional senses and your sensory abilities. Maybe you should see if your mother had any tips on tracking? Train with Nakamura Shiori. Train 'Perception' and 'Tracking' with an additional +10 to each roll.
Happy times become rarer during war. You know this well. Savor them while they last.
Choose [2]:
[ ] Spend more time helping your mother around the house. She already has to deal with your 'irregularities,' perhaps spending some 'normal' time with her will be nice?
[ ] You find that you actually like your father. Maybe spending more time with him will help you understand this better.
[ ] Your grandparents are obnoxious and demeaning, but at least they treat you with the kind of reverence you deserve. You would not be averse to spending more time with them, at the very least it will give you more time to learn about the inner workings of the clan.
[ ] You didn't have such a great time the last time you tried to interact with children your own age. Maybe take it a bit more slowly this time? There's supposed to be another genius child around your age, you should see about getting to know him.
Y3T1: 1x Chakra
Y3T1: 10x Strength
Y3T2: 1x Perception
y3T2: 1x Taijutsu
Y3T1: 10x Strength
Y3T2: 1x Perception
y3T2: 1x Taijutsu
*AN*
That last social roll was sad
Also, the roll for taijutsu was the first roll that was lucky but also not absurd, congratulations questers! This is starting to look like a real quest, not one run by bullshit bonuses instead of dice
Now that the +30 bonus from Once and Future Shinobi are gone, crazy multi crits are highly unlikely.
Ok I don't really have much to say here lol. This chapter was fun to write. Potentially only one turn left until we reach the academy!
Voting is open!
