chapter 4

The next day a man came by and took you to what it would be your new home. It was a simple apartment; it had a small bedroom, a small kitchen and and a small bathroom. Before the man left he spoke, " The Hokage wants you to go to his office. He has something to tell you. "  


You just nodded then he left.  You took this moment to just rest a little after all you just were released from the hospital. 


About two hours later you were resting in the bed, then you got out of bed and made your way to the Hokage's office. You were walking through the village and  noticed that is was a nice and peaceful place. Everyone seemed to be happy. You walked and enjoyed the view. 


Finally  you arrived at the Hokage's office and approached a woman. " Excuse me, I am here to see the Hokage."  You reported.


She smiled. " Just a moment." Then she stood up and knocked at the door and told the Hokage that you were there. She said that is was fine for you to go in, and did as told. After entering you bowed and he motioned for you to sit on the chair.


 " I was told to come here," you took a seat.  


"Yes, you are correct. I just wanted to talk to you about your training. Since you told me that your parents trained you, I don't think it would be necessary for you to attend the academy.  It will be fitter  if one of our jounin trains you. " He explained. 


" I agree with you." You nodded.


" I already called him, he should be here any minute. He will train you for a while until we determine what level you are. This training will also help you  see if you are able to control you Kekkei Genkai. As for the information about you lineage, we haven't found anything yet.  We will keep searching for anything that might help you reveal your kekkei genkai, that is the only way that can gives as a head start to  a broader investigation. It would be much simpler to find information if we knew something other that it originated from here." Still watching you he said. 


Knock! 


The same woman that informed the Hokage of your presence came in bowed and then announced " Sir, the person you requested has arrived."


  The Hokage nodded and she exited.


 After she left a young man entered, bowed  " Sir, were you looking for me?" He looked young, a couple years older than you. He had back hair in a pony tail.


" [Name], this is Itachi, he will be the one to train you." The Hokage introduced. You just nodded.


  "You will start training as soon as possible." The Hokage instructed." Now you may leave." 


Itachi and you both nodded and left.  After exiting the office  Itachi told you that you were both going to the training grounds. There he started to teach you what you mostly new, ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu.  It wasn't new to you since of course your parent taught you this and your mother taught you medical skills.  


Timed passed and you were getting better and better at you training. You also got to know Itachi, not as a friend of course. He was your sensei, and he was a really quiet person. He never talked more than necessary, even though he wouldn't talk to you that much you got to know him,  and  admired him. He was really young and was a strong ninja.  


Today you got out of bed at 5 am. You had to get up early because you were going to train. You took a shower then prepared something to eat. After getting everything ready,you went to the training grounds and  arrived there at 6:50 am training was going to start at 7 am. After about 7:30, you were  still  waiting and there was no sensei. It was kind of unusual, he was always on time. Now that you think about it, this couple of days he was been acting kind of strange. You couldn't really explain how but he just was. There was little training and he would let you go home early, you never really questioned anything, you just guessed the it was because he had a mission or something.


 Poof! He appeared in front of you. "[Name], there will be no training today. I came just to inform you. Now you may go."


" Hai! Itachi- sensei" you said. 


Then he left, although you did notice some kind of worry on his face, you wondered why.  With that you left, but this time you decided to take a look at the Academy. Today some students would  be going to attend the academy and you just wanted to see. You walked and you could see kids running around, others just playing. 


You almost arrived there when there on a tree,  was a kid no older than you with blond hair, he was sitting on a swing. He looked sad,  you  didn't understand why he was sad until you  noticed a group of kids. It appeared they were bothering him. 


So  you yelled  " hey stop it!" You really hated bullies.


They all heard you and as you approached them, they laughed. " Or what? Are you going to stop us?" The leader bursted in laughter.  


In a speed of light you were standing next to the blond haired kid, " what if I am?"You challenged.


Your speed surprised them because all the confidence the leader  had seemed to decrease. " o-oh yeah, we will s-see about that!" He tried to punch you in the face but with one quick motion you caught his arm and  twisted  it behind his back. Then you pushed him forward with a bit of  strength that  made him fall on his face. 


He slowly got up and yelled to the others, " what are you guys waiting for?! Attack her!" He pointed at you with rage. The others were moving  but you rolled you eyes,  you   kind of got bored and annoyed by this bunch of idiotic kids, as you positioned your hand making some hand sings and a shadow clone appeared next to you.


The leader was shocked and ran away. The other kids  stopped what they were going to do and  followed their leader  like a dog follows its master.  You just shook your head and turned you body towards the blonde kid. He was staring at you with wide eyes. You just smiled " are you OK?."


" I-I- are you talking to me?" he looked  at you with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. 


" Yes, I am talking to you." You confirmed. 


" Oh, yeah, I am fine!" His face brightened all of a sudden which caused you to smile even more.


" Do you mind if I sit here?" you pointed at the ground next to where he was sitting. With a grin he smiled and nodded. You slowly sat down, Indian style. 


" What is your name?" you asked. 


His smile disappeared and looking at the ground with a sad face asked " Why are you talking to me?" he looked deep into your eyes. 


 His question  kind of surprised you again. " Why wouldn't I? Is there a reason on why I shouldn't?" 


" Well, is just that no one talks to me because of what I am." He whispered. 


" Well, I believe that no one has the right to judge others. You look fine to me, you look like a kind kid." You assured him causing him to smile.  


" I am Naruto Uzumaki. And I am going to be a Hokage! Belive it!"  he replied. 


 " Nice to meet you Naruto. Well  I am [first name] [ last name].  I know you will become a great Hokage someday ." Happily you responded. " And I am guessing that  those kids were bothering you because they don't like you because of what you are?" you tilted your head. He did not answered but nodded.  You felt some sympathy for Naruto and wanted to cheer him up. " Hey, don't pay any attention to them, they are just  a bunch of bullies who just want to bother smaller kids. By the way, aren't you going to the Academy?" you asked when you noticed there were no kids around. 


" Oh no! I am going to be late ! Bye [name]. See you later!" He quickly stood up and started to run. You just smiled and went home. 


At your apartment you were fixing some things in the apartment when all of a sudden you remembered about  giving you sword to your sensei this morning. You asked him if he could teach you how to sharpen you sword since he has a katana. It needed to be sharpened a little, it wasn't that important but you asked him anyways.  He told you that he would do it for you today and only today, he said that if he didn't get it that exact moment he wasn't going to help you. 


Without a moment to waste you took your sword and run out. It didn't take you long to arrive there but stopped at what you saw; red liquid (which still looked fresh) was covering the walls of most of the houses, there were some broken windows. There on the ground and other placed were corpses of people. What made you almost cry was the sight of a couple and a baby laying on the street. The baby was on the woman's arms, it looked liked she tried to protect him. You just stood there in shock, you didn't know exactly what to do. You wanted to just go and tell the Hokage about this but you also wanted to look around and see if there were any survivors that you could save. After all you did know medical ninjutsu. 


You  shook your head in an attempt to clear your thoughts and make a decision. Then you chose the second option without caring whether the killer was still there,you went corpse to corpse to find sign of life. This went on  without  finding any sings of life when  all of a sudden  in the distance  you found two shapes. There you saw a kid about your height and another person who looked a little bigger than you. 


 You got closer in this time you couldn't believe it, there stood Itachi, your sensei and the other kid who looked like him and was crying.  They were facing each other, you couldn't exactly hear what they were saying  but you  knew that the smaller kid was talking because his lips were moving. Then next thing you know Itachi was holding the little kid's neck. After a moment he let go causing the kid to fall to the ground. The kid looked to have some difficulty breathing. Itachi turned(facing) towards you but said something to the kid. After a minute or two he started to walk but a couple of steps later he stopped. Oh shit! He was looking  straight  at you. You panicked but got out of where you were supposedly to be hiding  because he saw you.He started to move towards you even faster. You quickly got a hold of your sword. Another moment later he was a few feet away from you. 


"[Name]." He said your name. 


"Itachi- sensei." You responded.


"What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here." In a threatening voice asked. 


" That does not matter now, does it?" not showing any kind of fear in you voice.


He did not say anything just stared at you.  What were you thinking right now?  You were sure you were going to die today, why you ask. You did know how to use your sword but you are not a pro comparing to your sensei.
