Chapter 9 - Stand Before Me When You Obtain These Eyes!

The first light of dawn crept into the Uchiha compound, stirring Miyuki awake. Groggily getting up from bed, Miyuki, remembering what happened the night before, quickly ran to the mirror and opened her sharingan. Looking at her scarlet eyes, Miyuki saw three distinct tomoe circling around her pupils.

"I awakened the three tomoe at five... I'm the biggest genius to ever exist when it comes to the sharingan!" Miyuki yelled excitedly, "I have to test these eyes out." Suddenly remembering that it's still early morning, Miyuki quieted down, and careful not to wake anyone, she began to dress for her daily training.

As she reached for the door, ready to leave, it slid open before she even touched it. Looking ahead, she saw Itachi standing in her path. His expression was stern, his eyes filled with concern.

"Miyuki, you're not going anywhere," Itachi said, his voice leaving no room for argument.

Miyuki's eyes widened in surprise and confusion. "Itachi, move. I need to test out my sharingan and train."

Itachi shook his head. "Father's orders. After what happened last night, he wants you to rest."

Miyuki suddenly realized why she was being blocked. 'Ah, so I'm not meant to be training after collapsing due to the sharingan evolution.'

Itachi's gaze hardened. "I'm keeping you here, for the next few days at least. It's for your own good, for the good of the family! You collapsed last night, Miyuki. Awakening the three-tomoe is no small feat. You need to recover."

Miyuki looked at Itachi, at his stern expression, and chose to gaslight him to get by. "Huh? What do you mean it's no small feat? If it was hard to awaken the three tomoe, could I have done it at five? Come on Itachi, let's go and train together."

Itachi's eyes flickered with a mix of frustration and concern. His own Sharingan activated, the single tomoe rotating slowly as he tried to reason with her. "No Miyuki. You won't be leaving today no matter what."

Miyuki's eyes narrowed as she assessed her brother. She realized that Itachi was really serious, but she couldn't miss a day of training or else Itachi would surpass her. Knowing this, she chose to act, and without warning, she launched herself at Itachi, aiming a swift kick at his midsection.

Itachi, knowing his sister well, anticipated that she would attack. Seeing the kick coming his way, he was prepared and blocked it. "Miyuki, don't do this," he warned, his voice steady.

But Miyuki was undeterred. She spun around, using the momentum to launch another kick at Itachi's side and activating her own sharingan at the same time. He jumped, dodging the attack, but she was relentless, her new Sharingan giving her an edge in predicting his movements. Knowing that Itachi would jump to avoid the kick, Miyuki continued her assault.

With a quick shift in her balance Miyuki steadied herself and quickly made the tiger seal, activating the body flicker technique and disappeared behind Itachi. "Catch me if you can loser!" She yelled behind her while running away.

"You leave me no choice," Itachi said, his tone regretful as he drew kunai from his pouch and thew it towards back.

Noticing this, Miyuki was stunned, but quickly turned around to block the incoming weapon. In a swift motion, she took a shuriken from her own pouch, and with a clang, she deflected the kunai thrown by Itachi. "Itachi! What the hell was that! You could've killed me!" She yelled down the corridor.

However, not paying any mind to if the attack succeeded, Itachi was already sprinting at Miyuki. "I knew you'd block it." He replied simply as he threw a kick of his own at her.

Seeing the kick coming, Miyuki was prepared to counter it, but she noticed Itachi reaching for another kunai at the same time thanks to her sharingan. Upon seeing it, Miyuki smiled thinking that her victory had come. Quickly throwing her own shuriken at Itachi's hand reaching for the kunai, she forced him to stop before countering his kick with a quick jab towards the chest.

Realizing that he couldn't win in taijutsu against his sister anymore, Itachi decisively chose to take the hit and use the momentum to retreat.

Seeing Itachi retreat, Miyuki smirked seeing an opportunity for bragging. "Haha Itachi, you're so weak! You stand no chance against me and my exceptional battle prowess." She said before once again running through the house towards the door.

Getting through the house, Itachi didn't try to stop her again, but silently followed her outside. Upon seeing this, Miyuki realized what Itachi was thinking. 'He can't beat me in taijutsu so he wants to use ninjutsu, but he can't use ninjutsu in the house.'

Running through the door, Miyuki and Itachi both ran out onto the street and towards the training ground. "Itachi, go ahead and use ninjutsu!" Miyuki yelled towards her twin as she passed by a group of Uchiha police force heading to work.

"Don't do that in the compound!" A police force member yelled towards both the twins. But after they did that, another man in the group put a hand on their shoulder and shook his head. "We're not on duty yet. Just ignore them until we clock in." And true to that, they all pretended they saw nothing and continued on walking.

"Huh... What a bunch of lazy people." Miyuki said after witnessing how they reacted. Soon however, Miyuki and Itachi both arrived at the training ground, and the moment they did, Itachi began making hand seals.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" Itachi yelled as a fireball flew from his mouth. However, that fireball suddenly split into many and surrounded Miyuki, taking her slightly off guard.

"Pheonix sage fire jutsu disguised as a great fireball jutsu. Not bad Itachi, but before these eyes, all is worthless!" Miyuki stated as she maneuvered through the fire, approaching Itachi, while weaving hand signs of her own. "Katon: Endan!" She yelled as a fire bullet flew towards Itachi.

Being taken slightly off guard, not expecting her to be able to be able to dodge and counter at the same time, Itachi hurriedly used the body flicker technique to escape and take back the offensive. Appearing behind Miyuki, he threw a dozen shuriken and began forming hand signs again.

Seeing this, Miyuki simply disappeared in a puff of smoke, reappearing next to Itachi. "I-ta-chi" She whispered before grabbing onto him and throwing him to the ground. "You know I've been trying to combine the clone technique and body flicker, and yet you still fell for it. You should've known that I used the clone technique the moment I threw out a jutsu."

"Miyuki, stop it. Let's go back and rest for a few days." Itachi spoke somewhat reluctantly while looking at his sister.

"No Itachi! If you want me to go back, you need to be able to take me back. All your tricks and abilities are seen through with these eyes Itachi." Miyuki spoke while pointing at her three tomoe sharingan. "You're not worthy of making me rest. Come and stand before me when you have eyes like mine!"
