Me: I'm feeling quite good on this story.

Shinkou: Except for the fact that chapters four and five are completely on my past. I thought it would be done much earlier.

Me: Now a better time than later, now is it?

Shinkou: Just don't disappoint the viewers. This time, I'm telling you Hinata's coming over.

Me: Why am I not surprised...

Shinkou: I thought she was your favorite anime character. Enjoy, ladies and gentlemen, before I get too carried away.


Chapter 4-Young Shinkou Uchiha:Special Training

-1996-

Two Iwagakure shinobi stand against two adults and one three year old child.

The battered man creates signs, "Fire Style-"

"No dice, Uchiha!" The taller of the Iwagakure shinobi had thrown a shuriken and pierces the male Uchiha's left hand, "You three will die!"

The other Iwagakure shinobi plants a crest on the ground, "Summoning: Boulder Golem!"

"As the golem forms, you can tell us what you can about Konoha so we can use it's resources after attacking it."

The father spits at the tall ninja, "You deserve to be in the underworld than Konoha or Iwagakure."

"Suit yourself," The golem grabs the boy's father, "Last chance."

"I hope you die by our clan!"

"Very well, how about you do it?"

The golem proceeds with crushing its oppressor, blood dripping from the bottom of his hand. It grabs the mother next.

"Let's hope you're more cooperative than your husband. Tell us what you guys have so we can take it for our own."

She struggles to get out of the golem's grasp, "That's just it. Why would I tell you something that can lead to Konoha's downfall?"

"Should've done this the first go-around," The tall ninja grabs the three year old Shinkou, kunai at his neck, "He'll die if you don't tell me."

"If you're gonna have us dead, then I go first, because I'm not telling you squat."

"You asked for it." The golem crushes the mother the same way the father was.

"Mother!"

"Shut up, kid!" He turns Shinkou and looks straight into his eyes, not knowing what he had activated was the Sharingan, "Your mother was right, I would leave no witnesses, since they can never be trusted. Besides, you're just an immature brat!"

"If that's what you think, then go ahead and start stabbing," Shinkou replies in a dark tone.

The tall ninja soon sees his teammate rather than Shinkou, "Impossible! Genjutsu at a young age?"

Shinkou stares them down with cold eyes, "Death is your punishment for killing Father and Mother," He leaves the kunai stuck within the enemies' hearts, going back to Konoha.

Shinkou's brother, Yuuki Uchiha is at the front gate, noticing the younger, "Shinkou!"

"Yuuki? Thank god…"

"What happened?" He picks up Shinkou on his back.

"Mother and Father, they're dead. Two Iwagakure shinobi attacked us. I had killed the enemy shortly after."

"So there's part of why blood is on your hands. Let's get to Lord Third." Yuuki had always been loyal to the Third Hokage- Hiruzen Sarutobi. He had done much to earn his respect and trust, as well as to keep it, "Lord Third."

Hiruzen smiles at the voice, but is turned to seriousness as he sees Shinkou, battered and bloodied, "What happened, child?"

"My brother, Shinkou Uchiha, had just witnessed Mother and Father's deaths. That's why he looks this way."

"At such a young age?"

Shinkou struggles to speak, "Yes… Those…Iwagakure ninja…they killed them… Almost killed me…"

"How did you escape?"

"I...killed…" Shinkou turns unconscious.

Yuuki nods, "He was able to get back at them, those enemy ninja are gone, too, from this world."

"I see. We have to keep watch over you two. Your specific Uchiha blood is directly aligned to the founders of Konohagakure. Both of you have the potential to protect this place."

"Understood."

"Yuuki, you and Shinkou now inherit whatever your mother and father had. Good luck, and my sincerest condolences."

Yuuki leaves, "I hope we get through this. Shinkou, I'm so sorry this happened."

-1997, Training Field-

Yuuki and Shinkou have the Sharingan active, Yuuki's at stage three and Shinkou at stage two, despite their ages. Shinkou backs away from his brother.

"Control yourself, Shinkou," Yuuki rushes with a wooden version of a kunai.

Shinkou ducks under and quickly swings his right leg, which left his brother only a little time to back away.

The wood kunai is thrown, "Shadow Clone Weapon Technique."

From what looked like one soon turned to one hundred. Shinkou puts his hands together, "Substitution," is what he whispers and appears behind Yuuki.

The older of the two smiles, "You've matured quickly for you at four years."

"Mother and Father died before my very eyes. I don't care if I start now, I must stay strong for them."

"Hm," Yuuki blocks Shinkou's right jab and kicks him back a few feet, "That reminds me, what are your goals?"

"I want to protect friends and family. I want to keep peace at least in this village we call Konohagakure. I'll do whatever is necessary as long as it risks no one but my enemy."

"I'm glad. Now, use this scroll to the best of your ability," Yuuki throws the scroll to Shinkou.

"Wait, this is the Third Hokage's! When and how did you get this?"

"Lord Third had allowed me to borrow it for my own benefit, but I have a feeling it would work better with you instead. Try it. See what it's like."

"We'll see," Shinkou follows prompted signs, "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bombs."

Yuuki creates his own signs and the shadow clones of the wood kunai gather as a wall in front of him. The flame bomb exerts only a small explosion, as only the clones at the bottom disappear.

"Darn."

Yuuki shakes his head, "It's alright, you're still young. You're only gonna get better as your life progresses. Keep up the good work," he places a hand on Shinkou's head.

"Is there a Yuuki and Shinkou Uchiha I could find here?"

Yuuki turns his head to the caller of their names, "Yes, over here," He waves the man with spiky yellow hair over to him, "You are Minato, correct?"

"Correct, indeed. I was told you requested me?"

Yuuki nods, "For my brother, thank you for coming. My name is Yuuki Uchiha,Yuuki meaning 'tender hope' or 'precious help', this is my younger brother, Shinkou, meaning 'faith.'"

"It's a pleasure to meet you both," Minato shakes hands, "My full name is Minato Namikaze."

Shinkou is surprised, "The Yellow Flash? The pleasure's all mine. It's a really great honor to meet you."

Yuuki smiles once more, "Shinkou, Minato is gonna be your special teacher. His work is obviously different than others. You must follow everything he tells you, alright?"

"Yes, but Brother…"

"I'm still gonna work with your Sharingan personally, so don't worry. Only Lord Third and Minato know of our...special strengths and hardships."

Shinkou frowns, "You do realize they only KNOW of our hardships, not understand them."

"I beg to differ on that, but either way, they're both helping us in a big way. Anywho, I gotta go, see you soon, Shinkou!"

Both watch Yuuki leave. Minato turns to Shinkou, "Here. Catch this."

"Huh? This isn't a kunai-whoa!"

Minato is right in front of Shinkou, "Look at it closely. See it? This is a kunai, but I had it custom made. Look at the signs on it."

"What are they for?"

"My transportation technique which was part of why I'm called the Yellow Flash," Minato takes off the signs from the special kunai, "Without it it's just a custom weapon. I'll show you the signs again later. Now, can you perform a shadow clone?"

"Certainly," Shinkou does as told, "Might I ask why?"

"I'll show you why, but you need to step back," He reveals the signs from the special kunai on his hand transferring to the clone before it is kicked upward. Minato then appears above the clone and pushes a blue ball of energy on the clone. Once the clone smashes to the ground, he appears with another energy ball, "Rasengan!" The field is then filled with the exerted energy from the move. Minato appears in front of Shinkou crouching, "How was that?"

"WHAT was that? You transferred the transportation, and the blue ball of energy…"

"Let's start with the energy ball," That same energy ball forms again in his hand in front of Shinkou, "This is visible chakra taking the form of this ball. It's usually called Rasengan. Want to try it?"

Shinkou nods.

"Bring out another shadow clone. People who use this for the first time have a hard time keeping the Rasengan together, but the shadow clone helps form the ball, therefore the clone is required."

"Alright."

"Now, your clone will gather the energy and place it in the palm of your hand," Minato watches the clone do what's prompted, "Excellent, It will only be the size of your hand, but otherwise have some good power to throw your opponent off. Use it on the clone."

Shinkou pushes the Rasengan into the clone's gut and the blowback stops at the water.

"As expected. No matter the size, it's still powerful by itself. Keep practicing this, and you may be able to create enhanced variations," Minato looks over his own shoulder, "Sorry to cut this short, but my other young disciples are here. You can watch and see what other common jutsu are available to you."

"The one in the goggles…"

"I thought you knew him, since he's in your clan, he's Obito Uchiha."

"Minato Sensei!" Speak of the devil. Obito rushes over ahead of the other two, "Oh, a new team member?"

"No, not really. His brother wanted me to take care of him while he continued with his own team."

"I'm Obito, what's your name?"

Shinkou looks down at his feet in a sorrowful way.

"A new member?" Young Kakashi finally catches up, "Kakashi Hatake."

"Shinkou…Uchiha…"

"I just hope you aren't like Obito."

"Hey!"

"My apologies," Shinkou bows, "I'm not on your team, only under Minato Sensei's care for the time being."

All talking aside, Kakashi and Obito spar while Shinkou watched with his Sharingan active. He soon learns one of their jutsu at a time under his unique Sharingan ability. He learns to use Kakashi's Chidori, Obito's Fire Styles, and Rin's medical ninjutsu. He was grateful to all four of them, and an Uchiha who later became the best of friends.

Once Shinkou turned to his fifth year, fate had turned on him.


Me: It took only one day to finish this.

Hinata: But didn't you say your father had you go to your bedroom and sleep yesterday?

Me: Yes! An obstacle that takes care of me and he had interviews today!

Shinkou: Lucky you. You may finish chapter five as well.

Me: Of course! That means the viewers have to expect the next chapter soon.
