Chapter 2: To have a harem or not to have a harem, that is the question.


Releasing the book with a groan, Sasuke glared at the smiling woman, her hawk like green eyes shone as he grumbled moodily. She gave an encouraging nod, releasing an odd cooing sound, and Sasuke got the distinct feeling Rukia was used to dealing with babies, not... whatever she - or he qualified as now.

So he decided to place his hand on the book, and save them both some suffering. Pulling at his chakra, he placed it in the palm of his hand, before looking over to the brunette who gave another over excited nod. So Sasuke slowly raised his hand up, and let the book's cover hang onto his hand as the books joint bended and its pages and other cover flopped down - obeying the laws of gravity.

Well this looks ridiculous... Sasuke thought as he wiggled his hand, making the book's content swing back and forth.

"Are we done?" He asked, and sent a death glare at Rukia for good measure.

She raised a scarred eyebrow. "Are you finished with your books- all your books?"

"Yesss." He said with a hiss.

"And all the exercises?"

"Yasss."

She smiled and a dangerous glint swept into her eyes. "We'll begin some ninjutsu when you figure out a little riddle of mine."

"What is it!?" Sasuke quickly asked her and accidentally dropped the book he was holding - or had sticking to him, down onto his legs.

"The exercise with the book can be used for something else, it's good for one's footing." Rukia told him as he quickly sent a burst of chakra into his palm, to glue the spine of the book to his hand.

"Huh?" Sasuke asked and closed his fingers over the book.

"Ah, look at the time." Rukia suddenly said as she glanced out the window, and stood up from her chair before walking over to the door, opening it. She paused by the open door, and turned to Sasuke with a smile blinding smile. "I'll be seeing you!"

"What!?"


Sasuke had collected six goals for his life in this strange world.

One: To find out what Rukia meant with that odd riddle.

Two: To become a Medic-nin, and help as many people as possible.

Three: Grow his hair out, the duck butt look was just not his style.

Four: Get out of the hospital.

Five: have fun.

Six: survive this crazy and absurd world.

And he was going to accomplish goal number one, right now. something about footing...

He glanced down at his feet, and bend down to place a book on the white floor. Directing his chakra to his foot Sasuke carefully placed it on the book, and jumped a foot in the air as the book blasted through the room when a knock came from the door.

I don't have time for you! He thought moodily and mentally burned a hole in the door when the person outside knocked again. Leave. He silently commanded.

Giving up, he moved to the door and picked up the bended book from the floor as another round of knocking came from behind it.

Opening the door with a sigh, Sasuke froze as he came face to face with a long haired blonde girl around ten years of age wearing some strange purple but oddly stylish outfit and sparkling blue eyes and a girl with the most terrifyingly awesome pink hair and green eyes, who was wearing a ribbon in her hair and a cute white tunic.

My God... These girls are so adorable, I mean look at them.

"Hi." Sasuke said in his best I'm also a really cute and innocent girl voice and leaned on the doorframe with crossed arms.

"Sasuke-kun!" The blonde said "How are you? Iruka-sensei said that you had an accident. What happened? Are you fine? Do you need anything? I missed you. Do you want to do something? How are you?"

"Uhhh …what?" wow that girl… way too many questions in two seconds.

She blushed a deep red. "Are you okay?"

"Uhh… yeah. Never better. Well maybe I've been better, but you know." he told her with some vague hand gestures. "By the way, who are you?" He finally asked and couldn't help but to smirk at their confusion.

This could be fun...

"Wh-what do you mean?" The pink haired one asked shyly, she blushed when Sasuke turned his gaze on her, and ducked her head, avoiding his dark and steady gaze.

"You didn't hear?" He asked them and turned his black eyes to pale blue with a demonic smile. "I lost my memory."

"...what?" The blonde one asked after a moment of sweet awkward silence.

"Amnesia." He told them and smiled gently. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha one point two. The new and improved me, not that I really know what I'm competing against. So who are you ladies?"

"I'm Haruno Sakura it's nice to meet you again." The pink haired girl said.

"Yamanaka Ino." Blue eyes told him shortly as her eyes narrowed in thought.

They seem oddly familiar... oh! Yeah! Now I remember!

"You're part of Sasuke one point one's harem!" He exclaimed with a snap of his fingers in realization.

"What!?" They screeched as blood rushed to their head.

"What?" He responded immediately.

"As if I would share you with Ino-pig!" Pinky shouted and pointed at the blonde as said blonde screeched something about a forehead.

"Wait..." he said slowly and put up his hand to silence them for a moment. "Does this mean not me cheated on you both?"

Sakura opened her mouth to reply, but he put up a finger to shush her. Quickly running- walking over to his desk, he took the card, and ran- walked over to the waiting girls.

"Here," He said and shoved the card into their faces, as he rubbed his neck nervously. "I thought not me had a underage harem from all the love messages, but it seems like we have a misunderstanding."

"I-." Green eyes stuttered, her face a burning scarlet colour.

"Wait. Do you guys just love me or something? And I totally misunderstood your subtle declaration of love as..." Now it was his turn to blush.

Wow. That was embarrassing, he had totally misunderstood their intentions.

"Why would you think that!?" Ino asked him, forcefully calming herself.

"Well everything is so strange here... and I read this ting..." he told them nervously, as he waved the card around.

"It was good to see you again, Sasuke-kun! Bye." Ino quickly said and dragged Sakura away from his room with a strange glint in her eyes and a wave.

He blinked.

What just happened?

"Wow" he told the hospital room. "That was weird."


"Alright..." He mumbled, and moved his chakra over to the bottom of his foot. Pulling on his leg, Sasuke smiled at his success with a cheer, when his foot stayed stuck to the wall.

Taking his other leg up on the wall, above his other foot, Sasuke focused his chakra into it. Taking the other one he did it again, and slowly walked up the wall, mentally thanking the Gods for his physical condition.

"One. more. step." Sasuke carefully said to himself, as he moved his right foot over to the roof.

"Pew." He breathed when he didn't fall off, which was a giant plus -even if his bed was under him. Carefully walking over to the other side of the room, Sasuke almost jumped out of his skin with a yelp as someone knocked on his door.

"Fuck." He grunted as he regained his balance, if you could even call it that when he's upside down on the ceiling. "Come in!"

"Hey Sasuke-kun." Iruka-sensei said as he opened the door. "Have you thought-" he stopped as he caught sight of the dark haired boy.

"What are you doing!?"

"I'm a spider!" Sasuke said and flapped his arms around like wings. "Or bird!"

"Get down that's dangerous!" He quickly demanded, pointing a finger at the boy.

"No it's not," Sasuke told him and moved over, so he was above the white bed, grinning as the teacher got an uncomfortable look on his face. "Sit down."

"Just get down." He said tiredly with an exasperated sigh.

"Nope." Sasuke began with a smirk when the man twitched. "I'm training, it'd be pointless if I just stopped."

"So you've decided to be a shinobi?"

"Yesss," He hissed when the tanned man sat down on one of the uncomfortable Looking chairs. "When do I start at the academy."

"Here's a list over what your class will know as of the next two months, which is when I was hoping you'd be able to come back." He told Sasuke and slipped him a piece of paper, out of a pocket on his vest.

"Hmm..." Sasuke hummed as he glanced over the list. "Is this really everything not me learned over the course of four years?"

"Is doesn't seem like much does it?" Iruka smiled. "It's because we use the first few years helping those without shinobi parents to begin getting a feel for their chakra and some physical conditioning. Kids from shinobi parents usually joins up one to two years later."

"That's... I don't know." He finished lamely and flipped down onto the bed.

"Regardless, we have something to do today," Iruka-sensei told him with a smile. "I'm taking you out into Konoha, so you can familiarise yourself with the area.

"Really!? That's awesome!" Sasuke shouted like an overexcited monkey as he stood up in excitement. "I was dying here! Locked away like some contaminated thing!"

This is going to be awesome!


He had spoken too soon. This village was creepy, like we stalk you in your sleep to kidnap you creepy. Not a we are a village dictated by an assassin, creepy. But a honest to god, we can and will stalk you if you have the ability to get glowing red eyes.

That old guy over there were making kissy faces at him...

"psst." He hissed at Iruka. "Why the hell is everyone looking at me like they want to have me for dinner?" He whispered.

"What!?" Iruka-sensei exclaimed quietly.

"Look at them!" He hissed and pulled the older man down to his level, forcefully turning his head towards the people staring at Sasuke with stars in their eyes.

"Uhhh..." Iruka hesitated.

"See!?" Sasuke shrieked at the man, releasing him. "What the hell is wrong with them!?"

"...They adore you." He explained quietly.

"What did I ever do for them!?"

Iruka-sensei sighed. "Nothing. But you're technically royalty, especially now that you're the only loyal Uchiha left."

"That's..." Sasuke trailed off when a store caught his attention. "Wait here." sasuke told the older man and walked in a straight line over the street, entering a colorful bakery. He returned again silently after a few minutes, munching on a chocolate bun, swinging around a paper bag.

"Here." He said as he withdrew a bun from the bag, throwing one to his teacher - who quickly grabbed it in surprise.

"So anything we missed on our little tour?" Sasuke asked as he looked expectantly at his dumbfounded teacher and took a bite of the sweet bread.

"Sorry." The man apologised, scratching his scar."It's just that you're so... different compared to your old self. I'm honestly a bit overwhelmed."

"Nah." Sasuke dismissed. "It's no problem, I'm a bit overwhelmed with Konoha and everything too. I'm just acting like it's really no big deal, I don't really think I've realised what's happening around me completely yet."

"Actually," Sasuke began before Iruka could reply. "Can I move into the clan compound? It belongs to me right?"

"It does belong to you," Iruka told him. "but are you sure that it's the best thing to do?"

"I need my space," Sasuke grinned, releasing a maniacal laugher. "A lot of space."

"I don't want to know why you just laughed like that." Iruka sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

So Sasuke continued to laugh like a cliché movie villain until they parted ways at the looming hospital building, all the while ignoring confused stares from the onlookers.


"All right, do your thing!" Rukia shouted as she raised her hand to slap Sasuke.

"Wha-" Sasuke shouted before he substituted himself across the clearing with a log they had prepared beforehand. "-t are you doing!?" He shouted as he appeared by a pile of neatly chopped pieces of wood and glared at the woman, whose hand hit the piece of wood he substituted with, making the log splinter into smaller parts upon contact. "And what the hell was with that super attack!?"

"It's good to be prepared!" She happily announced and gestured for him to return with a wave of her hand.

"And what about that super slap!? What If I didn't react fast enough!?"

"Then I'd have a reason to keep you in the hospital!" She grinned.

"Ha ha," he told her. "Very funny, you're obviously a good enough shinobi to hold back at the last second - you have to be, you wouldn't be a Jonin if you couldn't."

"Sure. We can say that, if it help you sleep at night." She grinned, and a shiver ran down Sasuke's back as he neared to demonic woman. "Next up! Clone jutsu!"

"...Right." He relented and moved his hands through the hands signs - Ram, snake and tiger holding his hands in the tiger seal as he did the jutsu. "Clone Jutsu!"

Poof!

Smoke filled the area as three pale and slightly transparent illusionary clones poofed into existence, one of the clones legs gave out and it fell down to the ground as the two others began swaying.

Well that's embarrassing...

"Try to put some more chakra into them." Rukia told him as she shooed the sickly clones to the side.

Poof.

This time three identical clones appeared around him. They looked around as the one closest to the poor clone on the ground, bend down and picked up the sick one, throwing it at the other sick ones - making all three clones fall silently to the ground, making them disappear in puffs of smoke- as the two others laughed at the sick ones misfortune.

"Good!" Rukia told him - ignoring the clones odd antics - and stuck her hand through the head of one of the newer - and meaner clones, ignoring Sasuke's wince. "Now to the Transformation jutsu!" She announced, as Sasuke quickly removed the three crazy clones.

"Why are we doing the jutsu the academy won't cover until next year? Not that I'm complaining! It's awesome to be prepared and have an extra advantage." He quickly corrected, it was honestly nice that Rukia actually taught him the three academy jutsu before he would learn them in the academy - the more jutsu and knowledge he had, the faster he could become the strongest shinobi out there.

"That's exactly why, an advantage," She told him with a sage smile. "I have a saying - you could almost say that it's my Nindo: Always be prepared, even if you have to prepare a fish for a kitten stuck in a tree."

"Now!" She barked, ruining the mood. "Transform!"

He yelped and quickly moved through the hand signs. "Transform!" Smoke surrounded him for a moment before revealing his new form.

"Hmm..." Rukia hummed as she rubbed her chin, taking in Sasuke's new form, he had transformed into an perfect replica of herself. The transformation had green eyes, her brown brown hair and a perfect replica of her red battle outfit. "Not bad for a first try, but... my eyes are more blueish, the hair length is wrong, I'm taller than that, the shape of my face is slightly different than that and my body is thinner."

"I got that much wrong!?" Sasuke shrieked, glancing down and immediately did the jutsu again.

Poof.

"Ah, that's better for my hair and worse for my eye shape."

Poof.

"Better now you need my head, height, eye color and really? What happened to my body? Do I look like that?"

Poof.

"Wow, just no. I mean look down for a second, I'm not a monkey. Get that tail away from my beautiful body."

Poof.

"You're messing with me. Tentacles don't really help..."

Poof.

"The body is right now, so get that horse face away from it..."


"Here's a fish." Rukia said as she danced around the white testing room, holding a plate with a unmoving fish and put it in front of the disgruntled kid. "Now you just need to go sushi on it."

"Sushi?" He asked and poked the greenish fish, but began making the required hand seals for the medical jutsu. His hands began glowing a dim crimson color, and Sasuke placed his hands on the fish with a consecrated frown. The scaley animal gave a slight gurgle after some time but went limp after a few seconds.

"You need more chakra." She commented and the boy glanced at her, before turning his attention back on the fish as his frown deepened. Directing more chakra into his hands, and the dim red chakra began glowing stronger until he stopped his chakra at the amount Sasuke guessed to be correct, and after a bit of time the Fish began heaving for air - or water.

"I did it!" The boy said in wonder to the fish and took it up into his hands, placing it into a water tank to the left of where he was standing. He immediately turned to her with a bright - almost silly smile, when the fish swam happily around in the water. "I did it," He finally told her. "I'm going to be a medic-nin, right?"

"Yes!" She replied in an equal delight and hugged his head, in a crushing grip. "Now we just need to continue torturi- I mean training you!"

"You are really a party pooper. You know that right?" He mumbled into her chest.

"Let's go get a treat, I'll pay!" She said, ignoring the boy's comment.


Uchiha Sasuke diary:

Entry 1: The mind healer whom the Hokage - my new guardian assigned to me, told me to write for at least ten minutes in this stupid waste of time.

My time would be better spent training so that I can get my revenge, I've already spent too much time in the hospital being forced to 'rest' and 'heal my mind.'

The doctors at the hospital has delayed my reentering of the academy, making me wait even longer - a time he won't use sitting still.

-Uchiha Sasuke.


A/N: wow. The response to the first chapter blew me away, I didn't really think it would be that liked, and it's made me want to make Fracturing even better than I first planned.

Thanks everyone.

I'm split about whether Sasuke should refer to himself/herself as he or she... I've chosen to have Sasuke call herself he in this chapter, but I'd like to know what you people prefer her - him to call her I've confused myself now...

Sasuke likes kids... not in a ewww way but in the awww so adorable way. Which is very hard for me to write, because I'm an evil demon who don't like kids.

Another note is that I'm using different colored chakra for everyone, not the light blue the anime uses.

Response section:

Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I'm happy that people are interested in medical nin Sasuke. (I've never read one where he's a med nin before (I think - my memory sucks ass))

And to pulpo801 - I have no idea what you wrote... but I put it in a translator so I'm going to respond based on what I got out of it. I don't really have plans for any romance, but the story is still young and my opinion might change.
