After realizing that mosquitos are constantly on all 361 of my tenteksku(chakra points) and constantly drinking my blood from those areas, I realize my trial is one of struggle against Drowning.
And getting "Somewhere" involves a mess for removing some mosquitos throughout the day, only leads them to sneakily return when I'm not looking, like say when I'm eating one of the few meals a day I am provided.
Overall days turn into weeks and weeks for 3 and a half months for me to stand somewhat completely and have Freedom to speak.
When it finally feels like I can at least breathe although can't move completely dynamically, I've only brought the mosquitos off the chakra points but not completely off my body so I can barely walk with a limp that hurts and potentially broken bones that haven't been healed, I finally pass the Initial Trial and get a summoning contract to Sign.
When confused and ask about repelling all mosquitos from my body, I'm told of Sage Mode and immediately realize, I'm not there Yet at All.
One Benefit of this is my chakra control becoming all the more refined. I can literally do the 360 degree Kaiten off of the Hyuga Clan and See a bunch of potential Jutsu extensions of shape manipulation as I used this time to also train the Rasengan (knowing the 3 steps from my previous 1st Life). There's a bunch of thins I want to try and no time to hesitate, except I can't go back Home.
When I explain the Uchiha Massacre to them and start to breakdown while telling the story, I get comforted and power through flatly later and cut off my emotions to finish in a shinobi reporting to their commander's report ANBU style.
As much I want to remain here, I have to be reverse summoned at some point, but the problem is I'll get reversed summoned right into the spot I reverse summoned from initially, and I can all but Bet Danzo's ROOT/Hiruzen's ANBU are surveilling the spot 24/7 waiting to pounce on some prey after Itachi likely informed him/Lord 3rd of my Escape.
Fortunately the Mosquito Queen(The Boss Summon who's 4 feet tall), Understands and intends to provide a safe haven for me.
As I am not one to take any chances, I am going to go through the equivalent of a training montage before I Leave the comforts of this Realm and to try to Lull the political matters to Sleep, when I don't Arrive any time Soon...

Life has changed, seasons have passed
people have changed,
As Miho popped back into the clearing that was clear
Confusion and shock was all you could hear
Flashback no jutsu
Mikoto vs Itachi/Obito
As Mikoto summoned 2 shadow clones and her leopard summon, and has one clone escape with a leopard for speed that runs through the village, Itachi pauses for a split-second to examine her style.
Although it seems relatively balanced against both Obito and I, looking close enough can see the mainly defensive/time-buying moves she's making that seems to prolong the inevitable.
The only question what was the clone and summon for.
It wasn't until night-time when he reported to the Saindaime about his "mission" that he received his "answer" when Lord 3rd widened his Eyes with Sight after describing where Miho reverse-summoned from.
Lord 3rd: H , Itachi: I
H: Mikoto has officially declared that entire training ground sacred land as of this morning with her purchase of the status, and given that her body has literally died there, she will likely receive approval from all the surrounding Clans to memorialize her Grave there. It's been notarized by an anonymous party.
Sacred Lands are not to be touched by a single soul without permission. In the End, her buying time was all for buying Miho time to Escape when she returned.
If the Clans find out we're intruding on Sacred Land by even monitoring it from the outside, I and even Danzo would be in deep political shit. If any damage comes to the land from mainly Us, we owe the Uchiha the equivalent of an arm and a leg.
It seems you've been outplayed, Young Itachi.
I: *silence for a while, can't you trick Sasuke into giving permission to monitor the grounds?
H: No, for Mikoto wrote a letter in her will, that is fuinjutsu sealed via lock and key, and I can only bet it's about the grounds somehow. I don't think young Sasuke will be moved.
I: *silence, then what do we do?
H: Nothing, young one. At the end of the day losses need to be Seen as Losses and the Fact that Mikoto pulled this on Us, means we lost the metaphorical chess match before it's even begun. At the end, you were played.
I: *silence, I shall have crows monitor the area.
H: I shall do the same with my summons as well. But there is no way to receive an instant message when it happens. We can only have this information for the future.
As both men sit in silence, Itachi then goes to leave to leave Hiruzen behind.
Unbeknownst to Itachi, Hiruzen holds the initial copy in his hands as he was one to submit such document and notarize it automatically.
Mikoto had enough dirt on Hiruzen to force this move out of him and as he slammed his fist on the table out of anger, a quiet but simmering bubble of rage sat within him as he decided to blame the massacre on both of the siblings together and name them the Terrible Duo.
All because, Mikoto had outplayed him and Danzo like a puppet on strings.
The boys, lost in the pride and its glamour, lost themselves in the game of chess while playing checkers amongst them"selves".
The Hail Mary was answered, and with it, Mikoto's much safer passage into the Unknown and Wild Jungle saved Miho once again.
Without a moment of haste after Seeing the crow and monkey poof out of the corner of her Sharigan based vision, she henged into an ANBU and sprinted toward the gates.
With a Body Flicker like Shisui, she made great pace.
And when at the gate she knocked out both chunin with haste.
And left the Place with nothing but Grace.
