I still don't own Naruto. Hope you enjoy!
Training to be able to use the rasengan was far more difficult than I had envisioned. I still have not gotten it down to a point where I can use it with one hand and I also don't have the help of shadow clones. I have, however, trained the three core jutsu of the academy and a fire jutsu from my definitely legal trip to the library through the window. I ended up transcribing the scrolls on to one of my own. I am currently attempting to do the water walking exercise again. I haven't completed it yet, but I do have confidence that I soon will. 'I definitely should have mastered the tree walking exercise before attempting this.' Ah well, I need to be able to control my chakra far better and this exercise will help immensely. One thing I definitely needed help in, even more so than chakra control, was taijutsu. None of the teachers helped me and the hokage was to busy to help, so I'm stuck with this for now. 'Boring, boring, and more boring, when is something exciting going to happen?!' I continued attempting the water walking exercise and continued sinking at almost exactly the same amount of time. 'This is going nowhere...'
A few hours later
I had made slight progress! It was promising that I was making any progress at all considering how young I am. "Uzumaki Naruto, right?" Someone called out from across the water.
"Huh?" I turned to look and saw... Uchiha Shisui? What the hell was he doing here?
"Don't be so tense, I won't hurt you." He slowly walked towards me easing into a smile. "I just wanted to let you know you're on Uchiha property. You aren't in trouble, at least, not in trouble with me, but you will be if you stay here."
"Oh, I hadn't realized this was owned by anyone, let alone a giant clan." I responded, confused. Surely I hadn't overlooked any clan symbols had I?
"Ah, a linguistic huh? Just like Itachi was. Although, you seem more... what's the word? Immature." His smile slightly grew.
"Immature? In what way exactly?"
"Woah! I didn't mean anything bad! I just mean compared to Itachi, he's a genius." Shisui held up his hands in surrender.
"I was just teasing, sheesh. Anyway, before I leave I have a question." I stated, already heading off the property.
"Ask away, blondie."
"Where do you think I could go to get taijutsu training?" I knew about Guy, but he was a last resort.
"Hmm. Well unless I wanted to scar you for life, I don't know any taijutsu experts. Although..." He put a finger on his chin. "If you really need help, I could try to do that for you. It won't be on any schedule as I don't have a schedule myself, but if I have time I'll try."
"Really?" I was surprised that Uchiha Shisui himself would help me. 'Does this mean I'll learn the shunshin?'
"Sure, blondie." He walked away and I left the premises. I could barely contain my excitement as I made my way back to my... burning apartment?! What the hell?
"And there he is, walking like one of us. Hmph, Let's show him he can't run away from us!" I saw a large mob of villagers with a wide array of weapons. Some of them had headbands and flak jackets as well. Well shit. I turned to run and rocketed as fast as I could towards the alleyway. I knew my way around this place more than any other. I felt something stab through my leg and I fell, fast. "AAAGH! FUCK!" I definitely hit my head on the way down. My vision was blurring from the tears. My right leg was currently being used as a kunai holster and my head was bleeding. I saw them approach, slowly. Even through the tears I could tell they were smiling, hell, I could hear some of them cackling. This was it, this was how I died. "No... NO! NOT LIKE THIS! YOU WON'T TAKE MY LIFE LIKE THIS!" My pain was being nullified. My eyes burned, but not because of the tears. I felt pure hatred flowing through me. "I WILL NOT FALL TO YOU... NOT AGAIN!" Words that weren't mine were coming from my mouth, burning my throat like acid only for it to heal, this was bad. I couldn't control myself. All I could do was listen to their screams...
I'm back, college is horrible, and this story is being continued next week! Will Naruto be punished for defending himself? What will happen with Shisui? Find out next week! Signed, ConnerOC
