(1st person P.O.V)
That night Inako heard about the death of her teacher Kushina and Minato she broke down crying, even without the curse of hatred (Overflowing emotions), she would have cried because she truly cared for Kushina as she taught her for so long. Seeing this Mikoto by her side comforted her. Inako was truly helpless because she is just a child right now and was too much weak to help the one he cares about and that time she decided to take care of naruto for Kushina and Minato and train herself hard And one day revive them. At this moment She awakened her sharingan and it was two tomoe straight and it took too much chakra out of her body that caused her to faint. Fugaku, itachi and Mikoto saw her awakening sharingan and two tomoe at that and it made them surprised.
Now it's been a year since that incident. Inako and itachi are 6 years old And it was time for her and itachi to attend the academy. Ever since the incident Inako became quite and distant from everyone and trained herself even more. She also mastered her two tomoe sharingan that increased her chakra quite a lot. She studied fuin-jutsu diligently and she also learned Taijutsu of her clan, shuriken jutsu, ninjutsu and dojutsu Genjutsu. She surpassed itachi by quite a lot in this time. Her family was worried about her as she only trains like a machine all day long and they didn't spread her genius feet's outside their family members not even the uchiha clan knew about it. And she asked them to not tell anyone else about it either.
On the other hand, after the incident fugaku became quite busy as a few days after Minato's death rumors started spreading that the uchiha clan controlled kyuubi and killed Fourth hokage and his family. Uchiha were relocated outskirts of village and many shinobi started to blame them for fourth's death. As many of them saw that the fox was in uchiha's control. And uchiha earned distrust from other clans because of the rumors. It made fugaku busy as Uchiha clan was dissatisfied with the village's behavior towards them.
And finally to itachi, as fugaku was busy with the clan, itachi trained alone until a month later Shisui uchiha offered to train with him. Which itachi easily accepted. He had been training with shisui for over a a year now and it was time for the academy to start. He also a female friend Izumi with him who he met during fox incident. She was a sweet girl and had a crush on itachi who also had a crush on her.
Three of them easily passed entrance exam and were assigned to the class of elite students and only 30 students were admitted in that class. Most of them were clan's kids and other were some exceptional civilians.
Next day we came and sat down outside because the 3rd hokage was supposed to come and give his speech to new students.
When hokage came, students excitedly started shouting 'long live Hokage'.
After that Hiruzen gave his speech about the will of fire and how hashirama cared for children to live happy life without war and everyone is Family in village. Many students became excited and itachi was included in the excited one. Inako saw this and murmured "Is he showing me death flags?"
After the speech was done, hokage left and everyone went to their classes.
As everyone took their seats, Inako sat beside the window and itachi sat beside her and Izumi beside him. Until their homeroom teacher came in.
"Hello everyone I'll be your homeroom teacher until your graduation. My name is Jino Nanao and I'm a chunin teacher at academy for 2 years. Now everyone introduce yourself and tell your future dreams as well." Chunin teacher said to his class.
After everyone introduced themselves, the teacher started giving his lesson on will of fire and Village's history about how peace loving our village is and other village always starts war and they are evil. This continued on for half a day until academy time was over and I was sleeping all this time. but unlike me itachi was listening attentively. Inako just ignored him went back to clan to continue her training as her training time was already cut in half and she couldn't even sent shadow clone instead of her as after releasing the clone her head will burst open by half a day worth of information at an instant.
She decided to increase her training difficulty since the time was cut in half.
After training she went home at dinner time. When she entered she saw sasuke running around clumsily, it made her smile a little and she picked up a little cute toddler. She sometimes enjoys her time with sasuke as well but not like itachi who dots on him too much, Izumi sometime comes and plays with sasuke as well. Inako couldn't meet with toddler naruto in orphanage as village elders were blaming uchiha for the invited 1 year ago and they forbid uchiha to come in contact with the jinchuriki who was protected by the anbu. She was frustrated with this and was even more dissatisfied with her strength because she knows without strength she can't do anything in this world.
