Hi, journal,

Mother decided to give me a journal today and told me to start using it. So here I am. She tells me that if I want to use the mind techniques of the Yamanaka clan then I need to be able to clear my mind quickly. She thinks by writing this journal it can clear my mind effectively when I'm fighting and training. That's only if I use it a lot. She says she's been doing it since she was twelve. I just turned nine last month. She wants me to start early. Itachi said he's done it since he was seven, and he just started at the ninja academy a few days ago. He's already run through four volumes of his own journal. I wonder what's in it. Probably more ways to be mean to me. My father laughs when we talk about a journal in front of him. Says sarcastically that I won't need such techniques because I'll eventually unlock my Sharingan and the other techniques will become obsolete. That's usually when my mother grits her teeth at him and her eyes get really big. It makes me laugh every time.

I feel lame that I don't have anything cool to write down for my first entry, so I guess I'll just ramble on or something. My name is Inosaichi Uchiha. I mostly go by Saichi though. I'm the youngest son and I'm the middle child between Itachi, myself and then Inora. My bigger brother is Itachi. He's twelve and in the ninja academy. My younger sister is named Inora, and she is four years old. She's really short, even for her age. Mother says she will get really tall eventually. We all have black hair, which annoys my mother. My father is Sasuke Uchiha, who is best friends and the personal aide of Naruto Uzumaki, more commonly known as the sixth Hokage. My mother is Ino Yamanaka who is best friends with the "Chief of Medicine" Saukra Haruno. This was a position that Naruto created specifically for her. My mother isn't much of a ninja anymore. She spends most of her time at the flower shop whenever she can.

What's next? Oh. The village. The Hokage is Naruto Uzumaki and he's been Hokage since he turned nineteen. He is married to a Hyuga. Hinata Hyuga I think. Yeah, that's right. They have one kid. I hate her. I'm serious. I really do. Narucha Uzumaki is eight years old, and I swear she is my eternal rival. Or at least she pretends to be. She looks exactly like her father in his younger days. At least that I've seen from pictures. Except she has two long ponytails, and her eyes are that smoldering grey that her mother has. She has already found a way to use her Byakugan at will, and she has already signed a contract seal with the toads, even though she is unable to use Sage Jutsu. My father says that she got lucky being blessed like that. The next child they have probably won't be able to use either the Byakugan or sign a contract seal so Naruto's and Hinata's traits will cancel each other out and their child will not be strong at all. Narucha is strong anyways. As soon as I awaken my Sharingan I'll beat her!

But first I gotta beat Itachi. He trains too hard. I just hope he dosent awaken his Sharingan before I do.

What else do I need to add for my first entry? Uh… I think that's it. Tomorrow mom is taking us to Naruto's house to visit. I really don't want to deal with Narucha. I refuse. She is always so serious. Naruto is so relaxed, so I think she should be too. Whatever. Anyways, I think that's it for today.

So… goodnight I guess.
