This beach is long as hell.
It took a while for Amit to realize that he was on a small island.
Hmm, It takes me three hours to go over the island.
Since I walk around 5 km in an hour, the island's beach is 15 km long.
This island is small. But not too small.
He then sat down on the only small rocky part of the island.
I need to catch fish. Can't keep absorbing nutrients from my counterparts.
A small fish was in that rocky part of the island. It was natural shallow pond of sorts. Tide brought in water and a few fish.
'easy does it', he thought to himself.
First small step.
Second small step.
A quick lunge.
And the fish ran away.
Sigh...patience. I need patience.
He looked at the rocks.
There, a small one.
Amit smashed that small rock on top of another large rock.
It broke apart after a few bashings. It created a few fragments. One of them seemed promising.
Yes, I can use this.
Amit then went towards the island and found a long branch fallen on the ground.
He smooshed the sharp rock onto the top of the stick, making a very low quality spear.
He sighed again and moved towards the pond.
He was going to get fish. Definitely.
A few tries later he realized how to properly adjust his aim.
"Yes! I've got it."
'Stop yelling! What did you get?' [Namit]
"I got a fish."
'Woah, I didn't know we could do that.' [Mamit]
"Well, they were already in a shallow pond created by the tide."
Amit admitted sheepishly.
'Bruh, you celebrating for that?'[Namit]
"Hey! This is my first caught fish. Let me celebrate." [Amit]
'Sigh, ok. No problem. Now you just gotta make fire by rubbing sticks together. Something that even experienced survival experts struggle with. Good Luck.' [Mamit]
"I forgot I hate myself this much. Shut up and Fuck off assholes." [Amit]
'Well, now that we're all here, how about we talk about our progress?' [Namit]
"Ok, no problem." [Amit]
'I've started reading children's books. After I convince my mother that I can actually read, I'm planning on starting school books. I'm feeling conflicted about showing how much I know. My parents are Asian immigrants, so they are not neglectful of me yet.' [Mamit]
"That is a concerning matter. Hmm, how about just showing interest and ability in one thing? It's scary if a 3-year-old can read a middle school-level history book. But it's concerning if he can read and understand every subject." Amit gave his honest opinion.
'Yeah, I think so as well. I'm thinking about only showing interest in technology. My parents don't understand it fully. So, they won't understand what I'm doing.' [Mamit]
'That's exactly what we need at the moment. We don't need you to be Reed Richards at the moment, baby Bill Gates is good enough.' [Namit]
'Bruh.' [Mamit]
"Ha ha ha, great. Me, living in a cave. Namit, living in the 19th century. And Mamit living in 21st. Crazy how this is." Amit thought out loud.
'Not to mention the different genres of worlds, Fantasy, Scifi, and regular.' [Mamit]
"Anyways, let's wrap up, what about your status Namit? How are you progressing?" [Amit]
'I think I'll have to take a risk. What I'm planning is not safe at all.' [Namit]
"Why do you say that? I thought the plan was to meet with Itachi and influence him toward our goals." [Amit]
'That's the problem, did you guys forget that he is a package deal right now? Shisui is with him. If I am to influence Itachi, I will have to influence him as well. I will have to get him on my side as well. That's easier said than done.' [Namit]
"But you do have a plan, right?" [Amit]
'Yeah, meeting up with him and trying to influence him is dangerous, but I still want to do it. This is my best chance at keeping the Uchiha intact.' [Namit]
There was a moment of silence as they all thought about the situation.
'Why do we want to keep them alive again?' [Mamit]
And came the man with brilliant ideas. Here to give another crazy idea.
'What do you mean?' [Namit]
'What I mean is, what are our goals?' [Mamit]
'My goal is to be safe and have fun.' [Namit]
'Right, all of us have that goal. We want to have fun in our isekai. We want to live a fulfilling life. I guess what you want is a bit more than that.' [Mamit]
A moment of silence later.
'I guess I do. I want all of my favorite characters to also be happy. I want Naruto, Sasuke, and even Obito to live a happy life and be friends with them.' [Namit]
'Big words for someone who had given up a few days ago.' [Mamit]
'I have hope now because I have you two by my side. I am not alone anymore and want the people I love to be happy. Don't you also want that?'[Namit]
'.....Sigh, I do.' [Mamit]
"Me too it seems. It sounds too good to be true. To be able to help the people we saw suffering growing up. The people who inspired us to be better in life. I guess I also forgot about that in the midst of all these new things happening." This time Amit added with a somber tone after hearing both sides.
'So? What do you guys suggest I do?' [Namit]
"Wait." [Amit]
'What?'[Namit]
"Give me a couple of days, I need to do a few tests on my hypothesis and also see what world this really is. I don't think this is the regular world. And I want to know what we are working with before we do something that risky.
I remember Shisui being a war-affected teen. He abandoned his own teammate out of jealousy and awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan out of self-hatred and guilt. He put his everything into the belief that everyone he killed in the name of Konoha deserved it.
We can't tell the man who chose his village over his clan at every step to justify his murders, that we know the future and expect him not to go tattle to Hiruzen.
Gimme a few days, maybe a month.
In that one month, both of you go ahead with getting acknowledged as a smart kid.
Maybe eating Genius as well.
Any objections?" Amit finished.
'No, I think that's reasonable.' [Namit]
'Me too.' [Mamit]
And this would be the plan for now.
//////////////
AN: Well, happy belated new year.
I have been thinking of this chapter and researching Shisui and Itachi for the last two days. The original plan was naive.
So, I decided to make it clearer and have a small bit of character development.
Plus, I'm losing my patience. This setup is taking too long, I want action and fun right now.
So, look forward to a few time skips and lots of power.
Hope you guys had a nice new year.
