Summary
Before Oberstein meets Reinhard, he's stationed on Iserlohn. Alone, and without any real power, he spends his time thinking of ways to bring down the Empire that shaped him.
---
Iserlohn was loud, and had the smell of a million men crammed into it. Footsteps echoed; walls creaked. It was impossible to escape the sensation of being inside something manmade, and therefore fallible.
Oberstein could recognize the irony in his own thoughts: it was strange for him to prefer the illusion of the perfection of nature, when he himself had been born one of nature’s mistakes— completely blind. If he had been an animal, a dog or a bird, he would not have survived to adulthood. But he wouldn’t have been aware of that as an injustice: it simply would have been.
It was man’s ability to understand perfection, and therefore seek it, that tended to disturb him. If Oberstein had been born a few generations earlier, when the edicts of Rudolph were still enforced, he would have been killed as an infant, to purify the human race of any genetic stain. But he had lived, which sometimes seemed only for the sake of being cognizant of that injustice.

“You know,” Schuldig said, flopping into the chair nearest the door and kicking his legs up to rest his feet in the seat across from him with a deliberate sloppy casualness, “they were betting on which one of us is going to come back from this alive.”

Summary
There would one day be a thriving subgenre of historical fiction starring Katou Dan, the Hokage who presided over the end of the Second Shinobi War. It was ironic because thanks to a quartet of time travelers he had discovered that he was originally slated to be the sacrificial love interest. On top of that, once you run into time travelers you automatically lose the protagonist contest.
(Sakura would be very happy being less protagonist-like. Unfortunately, the downside of having a friend with the unshakeable belief that you're unrecognized badass is the expectation that you do badass things with them. Side effects may include time travel, learning secrets you really didn't want to know and participating in technically treasonous activities.)
