Orochimaru was looking at me in shock as he probably had only seen a shadow of my Susanoo, I now was really too fast. Even the Hokage had problems reacting to me, so Orochimaru and his snake were doomed.
But again I think I underestimated myself a bit as even without the Susanoo, just with Time slow I was really fast, so strong. I smiled at him and departed immediatly. After this I again began to follow a routine, but this time I had a problem, fighting on the battlefield was not as useful for the third stage of Elemental coating as it was for the second one.
With this the rest of the year passed smoothly and we now were in december. I was bored again as I did not know what to do. I made no progress in my elemental coating, I continued my meditation but it was not enough, it did not really help for the technique.
Because I did not know what to do, I decided to go see Kakashi. He would soon enter the academy, in one month, and it has been a long time since I last saw him. I was surprised to hear laughter inside the house. From what I know Kakashi should be alone, as Sakumo was still on the battlefield.
I knocked on the door and heard three footsteps coming. One was Kakashi's, the two other from children his age. Before going blind I would not have been able to do that with hearing only, but now it was easy.
The door opened and there was Kakashi, along with a boy who had glasses, he seemed familiar but I could not remember where I saw him. Behind them was a girl beautiful for her age, who had purple marks under her eyes.
I greeted " Hi Kakashi, who might be those two friends of yours ?" Kakashi looked at me and said" These are two friends, the hyperactive boy is from your clan, Obito Uchiha. The girl behing is Rin Nohara."
I looked at Obito curious and remembered why he seemed familiar. He was the oddity of the Uchiha clan, a clan famous for it's vision had a member with glasses. The two did not have curious faces but curious ones. I was not surprised as they were too young to know about my face.
Kakashi was about to introduce me but I cut him off" Hi you two, I am a friend of Kakashi's father. My name is Kyokai Uchiha. I came to see you Kakashi as I thought you were alone but seeing your not…" Kakashi responded" Stay, the more the merrier."
As we were going inside, Obito looked at me curiously and once there we began eating. I had a good evening as the three of them were really funny, Obito was the michevious type, Kakshi was trying like always to be serious, but still failed. Rin also was interesting as she was the one intervening and calming the two when they were teasing each other.
The best about being with them was that them not knowing who I am, and Kakshi being almost family, they were not treating me like a god. This was something that was greatly annoying me now. Since I began working with different squads, they were all respecting me too much and often kneeling and looking at me with shining eyes.
I could not stand that so I began to grow cold each time I was fighting on the battlefield. So those kids were making my night fun. The next morning I was in a good mood, but once I went to meet my team, my mood worsened.
At the end of the day I quickly went toward the Hokage tent as I could really not stand it anymore. I entered inside as I heard him, and went toward him. In the tent there was only him, my father and his protection team. I was happy to see my previous team members but directly said to the Hokage
"Sarutobi, I am here because I wish to stop working with other squads. They are annoying me so much that some time I just want to beat them." He looked at me in surprise and asked" How are they annoying you ?"
I said a bit exhausted just thinking about it" They are always being wary with their words around me, they respect me too much and are kneeling most of the time. They are not being themselves and put themselves in danger to protect me when I obviously don't need it."
He looked at me in surprise and said" Then what do you want to do? You want to go alone on the battlefield ?" I nodded and said" Yes, I want to go alone, I know I could take in three genin from the Academy also but I think I am tooo young for it so yes, I want to go alone."
The Hokage began to ponder on it and finally agreed" I will allow you to go alone, but I want you to be extra careful as it is way more dangerous to be alone on a battlefield than you think. It is dangerous for your mental health."
After that said I departed not taking the warning seriously as I already was feeling alone with those trashes…
After this day everything was better on the battlefield. I was feeling at peace, and this was so good, almost unbelievable. Each day I would go fight, then go see either Mikoto or Kakashi. I grew rather close to Rin and Obito.
Of course I did not stop training. Even though I did not progress in Elemental coating, I still grew a bit more powerful. I was also feeling that there was something esle after my present Susanoo, another stage.
2 years has passed, and a lot of important stuff happened. First Kakashi got into Academy along with Rin and Obito, but he set a new record as in only nine months he took his graduating exam and became a genin.
That was the only things really important on the first year, but on the second year, things even more important happened. Jiraya came back from who knows where, and with him back we fought. Because of the fight I remembered his sage mode and finally found a way to advance on my third stage.
But I did not leaved to learn it as soon as I knew what to do as there still was a war to fight. Next on the 19th september, I became an uncle. Dan and Akina had a son, Shisui.
