Yeah, originally, I did want to go with a Leaf ninja (mostly cause that's where the majority are, you know), and maybe I still will. I just don't particularly feel like running a Jounin in order to do so. As far as feasibility, honestly, I find it almost unbelievable that there wouldn't be at least one or two illegitimate Uchiha out there. It only takes a single idiot, and that was the original basis for the Sharingan ending up outside Konoha.

As for a story...? Still thinking about it. But I was actually considering having the character hide their Doujutsu and use it more like a trump card, relying on their regular ninja skills to carry the day. They are well aware of how much of a liability it is, and they don't want to end up as breeding stock or experimented upon.

So, I have to ask, what exactly founded Sound in this AU if not Orichimaru? Are they still the same sort of nutters even without his influence?

Oh, Orochimaru is still around. He's quite literally the only one of the three Sannin that exists! The Sound is a bit more of a village than it is in the original, though it's still pretty fledgling and not completely built yet. It's piecemeal, but with amazing research facilities. Just... top notch. The rules are a lot more loose there too. Just... don't get in the Otokage's way and don't cause trouble or, y'know, y'could get dead.
