'Everyone was really surprised by my mature level of thinking.
I guess having a more mature and an older mind in a child's body can really do it's wonders. I mean, even Lee who's worked the hardest out of all the people in the series couldn't match up to me if we were to spar right now. Then again, if we fight in the chunnin exams then I maybe it would be close to a tie? Or maybe I wouldn't even stand a chance considering how strong he is... Then again, it would depend on the training I would have and if I have good genes in this world.'

"Did you already master the cloning technique, the substitution technique and the the transformation technique?"-Kakashi
Kakashi was saying it in a way as if he knew that Veronica wouldn't be able to master them so easily. What he didn't know was that, while he was busy with his missions Veronica had trained very hard and wasted no time.
She was still a bit lacking but was doing very well for her age. She had been spending time at the public library as well to get some insight on other subjects rather than just the ones taught in the academy but he didn't know that.
She had been able to study almost all of the academy's theoretical syllabus in the days which had passed by and started her learning on ninjutsu soon after. Although it was taking her a while to learn since she was focusing on understanding on the basics of it but for someone so young it was already a big shock that she had been able to finish the academy's syllabus. Well, for some people it was. Since there were many before her who had been ten times much better than her at her age.
She was a bit disappointed to see that she couldn't even learn basic fuinjutsu in the village, considering how Konoha boasted about the fact that they and Uzushio were sister villages. In almost every single text book she'd read which had the mention of the latter village, all it said was how great Konoha was to be able to make an alliance with the said village.
Although, she seemed to like her current situation. She wasn't labelled as a genius or anything, just a smart kid. Which was all she had wanted. She was standing out from the crowd but not being given the burden of a genius. And she wasn't sure how Hiruzen, or Danzo, would react to another genius.
She sometimes felt like twelve year old Sakura because she was only smart right now and nothing else before remembering Danzo and Orochimaru still existed in this world. For her, if she was still alive and free than that was enough.
'Naruto has almost mastered the academy taijutsu, although he still has his brawler kind of style with him. He's actually not that dumb as he was portrayed in the series.
Maybe it was a matter of how he grew up. Whatever I guess.
He's studying hard too now, almost as intelligent as Shino in the written exams I'm guessing. Should I make him train with me in the ninjustus? Taijutsu was fine since it probably wouldn't affect the story line too much but what about ninjutsu and the other jutsus?
I'll just train on my own and if he wants to join me then he can.
I'm guessing I'm at the level of a low level genin right now. Maybe. I should keep increasing my chakra reserves. I'll get Kakashi to teach me some new stuff to try.
He's really helped me out. I don't know how the hell do those people in fanfics train without having a single teacher to guide them. Or even work so hard that they can learn the whole of fuinjutsu, bukijutsu and what not in a couple of years at most.
I've been trying out how to use daggers, which is only a small part of bukijutsu, for months now and I've made so little progress. Then again, I am doing better than a lot of people. For now my level of shuriken and kunai throwing is good enough. I'll keep training it as I grow older.
I'm still learning how to hold the sword properly and explosive tags are something which Kakashi hasn't allowed me to use yet. I'll just have to wait for when the academy will teach us that then. I'm not gonna learning how to use a staff, or any other weapon for that matter, for battle yet. It wouldn't do me well if I learn too many arts before I even graduate since people could get doubtful. I could learn to use a puppet after the chunnin exams since I could even ask Kankuro for some advice till then.
For others, I'm not that sure yet. Since I'm hanging out with Tenten these days I can get some tips and such from her use of weapons so that helps a lot.'
Kakashi didn't know what to think when he heard that both Veronica and Naruto had almost mastered the basic techniques. He thought they'd been playing around and having fun and not focusing much on training. He decided on teaching Veronica a couple of ninjutsu techniques. She had been asking for them for a while, he thought.
The next few days veronica decided to take it easy and only meditated and exercised daily. She spent her time playing around with the kids and pulling a couple of pranks with Naruto. She also noticed that Sasuke was becoming more and more of an emo and teased him about it.
Apparently, he was trying to be cool and copy his brother.
She thought that Sasuke would be more like a mixed version of Itachi's calmness and no expression showing face with Shisui's emotions than be just like Itachi.

'I just realized that I completely forgot about Minato... Well, it could be due to me or something. Maybe I lost some memories or something? Or there are more people like me.
It would be nice to have someone to talk to about these things. These are the only things I can think of right now... This is really worrying though. I can't even be sure if the future events will happen the same as the series portrayed them. This is gonna be a pain...'
Veronica sighed for maybe the thousandth time since she came here.
