Chereads / Solo Journey / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Two years have passed since I started training with Shisui. He may act goofy sometimes but he's a good teacher.

I mastered the three academy jutsu within two weeks. It was ridiculously easy. How on earth do these simple jutsus qualify you to be a shinobi. Well, it's not like I can do anything about it.

After the academy three, we moved on to other types of training. First, we had to work on body conditioning. My body is still growing, so we didn't put much emphasis on strength.

We focused more on speed and flexibility. After that we moved to shurikenjutsu. It was slightly complicated. It took a lot of trial and error to get a satisfying result. Things like this can't be rushed.

Afterwards, we moved to taijutsu. Where he completely destroyed me. To be fair, I haven't had any taijutsu training. He wanted to teach me the academy taijutsu but I refused. The Uchiha taijutsu style is more suited to my preferred fighting style.

Of course it would have taken a lot longer to do this if I hadn't unlocked my sharingan. According to Tobirama, the sharingan appears when an Uchiha cries in agony over the loss of a loved one. That doesn't apply to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~Last year~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Thump*

*Thump*

Izuna: Hah....hah...hahhh

I've been practicing shurikenjutsu for four hours and I've finally gotten a satisfying result.

Just as I'm about to pick up more shuriken, a sound I haven't heard in a while rang in my head.

*Ding*

{System is now available}

'So you've finally appeared. Why did you disappear for so long?'

{Had the system been available from the start, host body would have deteriorated. Host body wasn't strong enough to host the system at that time}

That's acceptable.

{Host has received starter pack. Does host wish to open it}

'Open it'

{You received-black shirasaya katana, bloodline pill, Katon: Karyu Endan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet) scroll}

{Items are stored in the inventory}

That's going to make life so much easier.

'System, what happens if I use the bloodline pill?'

{Host's sharingan will awaken and will be slightly stronger than the normal sharingan}

'What would be the difference between my sharingan and the normal sharingan?'

{Your sharingan will use less chakra than the normal and your illusion will be stronger}

'That's a good bonus. Use the bloodline pill'

{Bloodline pill used}

I feel a sharp pain in my eyes. It feels like needles are poking my eyes. The pain is gone as fast as it came.

I look around and everything seems so clear. I can see even the slightest movement of the leaves in the trees.

Now I understand why the Uchiha were so arrogant. I pick up a kunai to look at my reflection. Looking right back at me were two red orbs with two tomoe each.

I deactivated my sharingan. I looked at the katana in my inventory. I resemble future sasuke's kusanagi but a few differences.

The blade of the katana is grey with a short black hilt and no guard. The sheath is black in color.

I might not be able to use this now but I'll hold onto it till I can find an instructor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Present~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been practicing the flame bullet jutsu and other fire style jutsu I've been able to get my hands on. According to Shisui, I have mid genin chakra reserves, which is large for a six year old.

Shisui and I are at one of konoha's training grounds. Or at least he's supposed to be here. He disappeared after telling me to meet him here. I'm already thinking of going back home.

Just as I got off the ground to go home, I quickly brought up a kunai behind me to block an incoming shuriken.

I look around and there is still nobody there. As I search, a black figure leaps out of the trees towards me. As soon as he was within reach, I used the body replacement jutsu and appeared above him.

I quickly weave the hand signs for a jutsu.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"

I blew out a big ball of flames almost twice my size from my mouth.

The figure looked surprised right before the fireball collided with him.

When the smoke cleared, the figure was nowhere to be seen. I felt a heavy punch at the back of my head right before I exploded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In one of konoha's training grounds a figure could be seen standing alone. All around him on the training grounds were scorched spots.

A second figure appeared beside the first figure.

???: So what do you think.

???: He's good. Very good.

???: Of course he's good. He's my brother after all.

The second figure is revealed to be Shisui Uchiha.

Shisui: Maybe you should introduce him to sasuke one day. How about it, itachi?

The first figure is revealed to be a teenager with long black hair tied in a ponytail at the back. He has tear tracks lining from his eyes halfway to his cheeks.

Itachi: One day.

Shisui: You can come out now, Izuna.
