Chapter four: Power and progress.


"Sasuke? Oy, Sasuke!"

A voice yelled, half-worried and half-panicked. Harry frowned in the darkness, who would call him?

He felt small, shaky hands on his face and a small moan escaped him as they practically burned on his skin.

"Yeah, you better wake up, or I go call Iruka-sensei!" The same voice spoke again, but Harry didn't wanted to wake up, he was tired, so unbelievable tired.

"I count to five and if you then don't wake, then I go really call Iruka-sensei or Jiji!" The voice threatened, but Harry could hear the underline tone of anxiety in it. Harry didn't want that, he didn't want people to worry unnecessary over him. It doesn't end well when people worry over him.

"One"

Harry felt the cool floor under him. Why was he lying on the ground? Oh, he collapsed.

"Two"

He was still in the bathroom were he collapsed? Right, the strange eyes. Sharingan, his mind supplied.

"T-three.." The voice trailed. "You know what, I go now to Jiji" The voice said and Harry heard the rustle of clothes, determination seized him and he shot his arm out to grab something.

He opened his eyes slowly, blinking at the wrist he held in his arm and traveled with his eyes upwards and saw a shocked face starring back. Naruto.

"Sasuke!" Naruto cried out, relief radiating of him. The boy on the ground frowned in confusion, what was Naruto doing here?

Naruto fell to his knees besides him, hovering uncertain over the fallen Uchiha.

"What are you doing here, Naruto?" Harry asked as he slowly sat up, or rather tried standing up. His arm felt weak and if it weren't for Naruto who supported him than Harry would have again made acquaintance with the cold ground.

"You didn't open the door, I thought you were sleeping, but then you are a light sleeper, when you didn't open the door even after my loud pounding, I became worried" He explained rushed "So I went through the window and then found you here..."He trailed of.

Harry nodded tiredly, not really understanding with his headache and the loud pounding in his ears. He stood, with the help of Naruto, up.

"Thanks" He grounded out, slumping against the smaller boy.

/Next day - 4 a.m /


With bleary eyes, Harry scanned the content of the scroll, only to throw it carelessly at the growing pile of papers,scrolls and books. He moved his hands to his hair and disheveled them angrily. It's useless, there was no useful information. Here he was in a library and did not find anything, Hermione always found something, but the Uchiha library had nothing and the hideout that Itachi told him about just had some strange writing on the walls that he couldn't read.

A tired sigh escaped him and he leaned back against the bookshelf from where he sat on the ground.

He should have known, he should have known it. He can't be normal. It's a certain fact of the universe. His eyes trailed again to the pile, there were actually some useful information, just not for the dilemma that he was in now, in thought read he again some lines of a open book that faced him.

...The Sharingan is a dojutsu kekkei genkai, a scare ability that appears in some of the Uchiha clan members...the Byakugan from the Hyuuga clan...Rinnegan...one of the three great Dojutsu...gives abilities...flow of chakra...color...memorizing of ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu...hypnosis...different number of tomoe...activated...Mangekyo Sharingan...powerful techniques. (1)

Mangekyo Sharingan... . He was sure that the strange red-green eyes that he activated yesterday was the Mangekyo Sharingan . That would too explain his sudden chakra exhaustion, his chakra reserve were still small and stamina pretty average as yesterday was mostly spend in reassuring Naruto that he will not suddenly drop dead and sleeping.

He frowned, it's understandable that Naruto would be concerned, but there was blind panic in his eyes. It would end catastrophic if the blonde orphan became to dependable on him. In a land were dead is just a Jutsu away, how would Naruto react to his dead? He was one of the first bonds the blonde made, how will Naruto react if that bond was destroyed?

Harry shook his head to clear his thoughts. Naruto was still a child, he himself was still a child, well, kind of.

Back to the Sharingan.

Sacrifice, Fukagu told him that to obtain the Mangekyo Sharigan one must need tho sacrifice something, but what did Harry sacrificed? His family died here, yes, but it wasn't like he wanted to. In his past live did he sacrifice things, yes, but here? Maybe it's like with the ability to see Thestrals? That you first must see someone die? No, if it were that simple than everybody of the Uchiha clan would have it. Speaking of former life.

The deathly hallows. Why the heck did he had the symbol of these cursed thing in his eye?

The hallows are relics of the magical word, they didn't exist here, they shouldn't exist here. Then how?

Absentminded, he brought a had to his mouth in thought.

Harry Potter was 'the master of dead', he never really thought about the title, he never researched and he didn't listened to Hermione when she again spouted some crazy theory, maybe he should have.

Soul, for all that he was in a different world, a different body, somebody different had he still the soul of Harry Potter, didn't he? That means he -his soul- still had magic?

He shook his head. No, no, that's absurd.

Chakra. He suppose chakra here is the equivalence of magic.

Chakra consist of physical energy and spiritual energy, it's a form of energy all living individuals naturally produce to some degree. That the first difference between magic, magic was, as far as he knew, purely spiritual and not every living being could produce it, it was not essential for living like chakra.

Still, that didn't explain the deathly hallows, he didn't had any magic left, he tried. A simple levitation spell that he could do in his former live wand-less. No, nada, njet.

He rubbed his chin. Maybe he shouldn't concentrate on magic, but on the deathly hallows, only them.

The wand, the stone and the cloak, were all made by death and death existed in this world. Death existed everywhere. It could be some mark by dead, something that marked him as the master of death, maybe that's why he was reborn?

The former wizard curled up and rested his head on his knees. That didn't make any sense. What wanted fate from him?

Frustrated, he tousled his hair.

If he just had someone with whom he could speak about it. The only person he currently absolutely trusts was Naruto, but Naruto was just a nine year old boy, he would not understand, he would be of no help.

There was still that strange writing on the walls of that strange room Itachi told him about, but he discovered that he only could read it if he activated his Sharingan. Something he didn't manage.

He tried, after he somehow activated the Mangekyo Sharingan yesterday, he tried, but he couldn't. Not the Mangekyo, not the normal Sharingan.

It was frustrating, he had no idea why, and Itachi's words didn't help.

"'You know, there was someone who tried to activate the Sharigan with force,'" Harry spoke mockingly aloud. "'He concentrated a big amount of chakra in his eyes, and did you know what happened?'" Harry quoted further "'His eyes exploded!'"

Angrily, Harry shot up and stomped his foot in a childish outburst of anger.

"It was like the time he tried teaching me water walking" He complained angrily. "And laughed stupidly every time I fell into the pond!"

Suddenly feeling tired, let Harry his arms hang and leaned back against the bookshelf. What kind of Uchiha was he, when he was afraid of activating his Sharingan? No Uchiha, that's simple, if his father were still alive then he would have disinherited him without a second thought. Feeling depressed let he his head fall.

However, he was told that once you activated the Sharingan that it should come naturally to him to activate it again. Of course, it didn't matter to Harry, he was always the exception. It didn't matter that he was now Uchiha Sasuke. No exceptions, he was always the exception.

Still, he bit his lips, that green eye of his. He is pretty sure that it -the deathly hallows- had something to do with the slow color change of his left eye. The eyes were the doors to the soul, weren't they?

Then there was still the problem with the side effect of the Mangekyo Sharingan, maybe it's a good thing that he couldn't activate it... .

"Damn" He spit out, weary, confused and aggravated all together. A sigh escaped him and he left the library, not even trying to clear away the chaos he left behind. It's not like anyone will complain about the mess, maybe he can still catch some sleep before every day life will be calling.

[ [ [ [4] ] ] ]

Harry's mood did not improve, not only did he spent the whole night researching, he was still not fully recovered from his sudden chakra exhaustion and he got no sleep!

He tried sleeping in class, of course, but Iruka was attentive and wrecked every attempt to catch some rest. He should have stayed home, but then he would have worried Naruto, and a worried Naruto is a panicked Naruto. Meaning not good.

He blinked from his seated position on the grass. Naruto again tried the Bunshin no Jutsu and Harry could only weakly chuckle as he saw the strange, pale copy lying on the ground. Well, at least it wasn't an eyesore like the original with the bright orange. Harry truly hoped that the orange Jumper wouldn't become a daily occurrence, the color was eye watering and bright. Not a very good color for a Ninja, but when Naruto showed him the Jumper the first time, was the orphan so overly happy and cheerful...Yes Harry had one obvious weak spot for his friend. Something he need to work on, he can't spoil the boy to much, or rather make him to dependable on him

Naruto blushed embarrassed, even he, always the optimist, saw that his try on the jutsu was pitiful.

"As if you can do it better!" He said loudly and crossed his arms. Harry just raised slowly a eyebrow and Naruto turned around angrily, knowing that his friend can do it without a problem. So unfair.

"I don't even know what I do wrong" Naruto mumbled weakly, trying to defend his fallen pride. " I make the right hand-seals, concentrate that chakra thing..." He trailed off, kicking a stone on the ground, and Harry silently agreed with him. It was an E-rank jutsu, something that even untalented academy students should be able to do.

His annoyance increased, maybe, if he had the Sharingan, he would be able to see what Naruto did wrong... . His head shot up from where it rested on his hand. Of course. Why didn't he think about it before?

"Sasuke?" Naruto asked confused, noticing the strange behavior of the Uchiha.

"Wait here" Harry replied as he stood up and walked away, looking for the person who might be of help.

He grinned when he saw a head of dark blue hair.

"Hyuuga Hinata?" He said. Startled, the girl turned around, her eyes widening as she realized who spoke to her.

"Sorry, didn't wanted to scare you," He apologized " But I wanted to ask you for some help"

The girl blushed and stuttered "H-help?...m-me?!" She squawked unsure and Harry nodded.

"Yes, you see Naruto"

"Naruto-kun?!" The girl interrupted as her head shot up.

"Yeah Naruto," He said, gauging her expression. Interesting, there was no hate or disdain, but...admiration? " He doesn't seem to be able to do the Bunshin no Jutsu. I thought that maybe your Byakugan would be able to see what was wrong" Harry explained in a friendly tone, trying not to scare the poor girl away, as she was generally very shy.

Hinata fiddled wit her hands. "Ehmm...I-I don't know. " She mumbled as she looked at the ground "I'm not g-good with my Byakugan"

Harry smiled softly, he can relate. The Hyuuga clan was similar to the Uchiha clan, pretty strict and demanding. The best was never good enough.

"But you can activate it, can't you?" He argued. "That's more than I can"

Her white eyes widened in surprise. "B-but the S-sharingan is different" She whispered, looking up to him.

Harry suppressed a sigh. "Please, it's worth a try and if you like then we can help you with something too"

She looked for a moment unsure, became redder and nodded at the end. Harry gave her a small smile.

"Thanks! Come one, Naruto's patient is non-existing" He said as he lead her to Naruto, not noticing that some of the academy students observed the little interaction between the two clan-heirs bewildered.

Naruto, of course, looked surprised at the arrival of the petite Hyuuga.

"Hinata-chan?" He asked to the girl, who only ducked her head and mumbled something inaudible.

"Hinata is part of the Hyuuga clan" Harry explained and quenched a annoyed sigh at Naruto's blank expression. "Shortly speaking, she has the Byakugan and can see your chakra, chakra flow, the chakra circulation system inside the body and the colour of chakra"

Naruto oh-ed in realization even as Harry had the suspicion that he didn't knew what the chakra flow and circulation system was.

"That's awesome!" Naruto praised and Hinata blushed even more heavily.

"Well Hinata, would you?" Harry asked gently.

She nodded and made a short hand-seal "Byakugan!" Her eyes became focused and the veins around her eyes visible.

The blonde boy, for whom they did all this, just stared at the white eyes, fascinated, till he found the older boy glaring at him.

"Oh, right, sorry" He apologized sheepishly and Harry rolled his eyes.

Naruto did the same as before and Harry raised a brow as the girl besides him widened her eyes. She saw something?

She deactivated it and looked unsure between the two boys.

"Well, Hinata-chan?" Naruto spoke as the copy puffed away, and the girl looked down.

"I-I think that N-Naruto-kun used to much ch-chakra..." She trailed off, sounding uncertain.

Harry blinked, Naruto stared in disbelieve at here.

"Eh!? You can use too much chakra?" He asked aloud. Harry sighed, of course he didn't knew.

"Yes, you can" He said with a nod, so that was Naruto's problem, he should have known.

"But isn't the jutsu better the more chakra you use?" Naruto asked with a frown, crossing his arms as he tried to look serious with bunched up cheek and narrowed eyes. It had rather the opposite effect, but Harry chose to ignore it.

"Not always, like you saw with the Bunshin, it just overloads" Harry explained, but Naruto wasn't convinced.

"Hehe, that just means that I can use strong jutsus" He sniggered, folding his arms behind his head and Harry shook his head.

Naruto stared at him deflated. "Why not?"

"Yeah, why not?" A voice repeated behind them and Harry blinked as he turned around. The two boys standing behind them were, if his memory served him right, Akimichi Choji and Nara Shikamaru. Harry blinked, since when where they here? And how come he didn't notice them approaching? He shook his head, it didn't really matter, for now.

The Uchiha thought about a way to explain it so that they would understand, even if he had the suspicion that Shikamaru knew.

"Well, say we take a Katon-Justu, the Gōkakyū no Jutsu as example-"

"Katon?" Naruto interrupted.

"Gokakyu?" parroted Choji.

"Fire release and Gokakyu is a big fireball." Harry explained short. "So if you have no chakra control then you will always use the same amount of chakra for that jutsu. In Naruto's case to much. Dangerous, because you can't control how big the fire will be. So that means you will end up hurting yourself and your teammates" He informed, there that should be simple enough to understand. He looked at the thoughtful faces.

"Yare, yare that's troublesome" The Nara commented and Harry raised a brow amused.

"What's life without trouble?" He asked back and the boy blinked taken back, it seemed he wasn't expecting someone to answer.

"A peaceful life" He said shortly as if it was obvious.

"And how do you know what a peaceful life is, when you never had 'trouble'?" Harry countered back and the Nara looked deep in thought for a moment, opened his mouth and closed it again as he frowned.

"Maa, that's troublesome" He complained in the end.

"It is, isn't it?" Harry chuckled lightly.

"Ne, ne, so how do I get chakra control?" Naruto asked after he realized, that he indeed needed it.

The older boy was about to answer till he saw the fidgeting Hinata, he hummed thoughtful.

"Hinata knows" He declared suddenly. Naruto being Naruto immediately turned to the poor girl, looking expectantly at her. Who promptly squawked at the sudden attention.

"...t-through s-special chakra practice?" She tried to explain, after she calmed down and looked questioning to the Uchiha, who nodded approving at her and she blushed, looking down again.

"The ones we do at the academy?" Choji spoke up, sounding interested as he munched slowly on his chips.

Hinata nodded. "Y-yes, but m-mediation helps too, and there are o-other methods that are used by higher r-ranked ninja" She explained, actually trying to look at their faces while she spoke.

"Wow, Hinata-chan really knows much" Naruto praised, smiling at her but the girl shook her head slowly.

"I-it's n-nothin much" She whispered but Naruto was not perturbed. "But I didn't know that, so it must be something. Right Sasuke?"

Harry bit on his tongue to suppress the urge to say something insulting to Naruto and nodded instead.

"Yeah, you should give yourself more credit" The former wizard said to the small girl and was again rewarded by a bright blush. Well, at least she isn't one of those fanatic fan-girls, someone up there must really hate him. To stuck him with them again.

A melodic dong interrupted them and Naruto groaned in visible disappointment, shoulder hunching down.

"Why now?" He whined and even the other kids seemed a bit disappointed and Harry shook his head.

"Come on, class begins, we can do it after that"

The way to class was spent complaining on the side of Naruto and Shikamaru, and quiet laughter on Hinata's. Choji munched happily on his chips and Harry was content just to let the voices wash over him.

[ [ [ [4] ] ] ]

Harry winced sympathetic as Naruto crashed down from the tree, again.

"Naruto, how about we call it an end for today?" He said, but Naruto glared at him.

"No" He grunted stubbornly and picked up the fallen kunai, ignoring his trembling feet. Harry sighed, from where did the boy had all that stamina?

He watched as Naruto again did the ram-seal, concentrated his chakra to his feet and ran up the tree.

Three hours before

Naruto blinked at the big field surrounded by trees.

"Welcome to the private trainings area of the Uchiha clan" Harry introduced with an over dramatic hand-wave and led the younger boy to a three he deemed worthy.

He grinned at the expectantly looking boy.

"Now, the academy's ways doesn't seem to work with you, so we go a step further" His mirth grew as Naruto's eyes practically shined.

"Tree climbing"

Taken back, Naruto blinked at his friend. "T-tree climbing?" He aped. "How will that help with that chakra control thingy?" The blonde asked dubious, all previous signs of excitement gone.

"You will not climb it with your Hands, but with your feet"

He grinned inwardly at the dumbfounded expression of Naruto. "That's not possible!" He argued, clearly he never observed the older shinobis or read what skills they needed to have in the future.

"For a civilian, yes" Harry agreed. "But, we're ninja" He spoke, hoping that Naruto will come to the solution by himself.

Naruto pursued his lips and looked thoughtful at the tree.

"We...use chakra?" He asked more than stated and was rewarded with a nod from Harry that made him grin.

"Yes exactly, have you a idea how?" He tried, Naruto wasn't dumb he just needed a nudge in the right direction.

The younger boy furrowed his brows as he scratched his head.

"Let the chakra...go in our feet...?" He trailed off, looking uncertain at the Uchiha.

"Concentrate the chakra to our feet" Harry corrected, but gave the boy a proud smile. "That's the theory, "Harry said. "I can't do It, so I can't show it to you" Well, he can water walk -a bit-, but that's a a step more difficult and Harry had at the moment no chakra for that.

Naruto looked surprised at him "You can't?"

Harry raised a brown at him, what did the boy think he was? Some kind of super human? He suppose he comes across as such for the attention starved boy.

"Yes dobe, there a things that even the awesome me, can't do" That had the expected reaction as Naruto mumbled something about smug bastards.

That's how they ended up here, Harry actually tried it once and nearly fell on his head because he used to little chakra, or rather had, at the moment, to little chakra. Thus he was content to let Naruto try and just observed.

"Damn it" Naruto cursed and stomped angrily at the ground with a foot. Harry was sheepishly reminded of his little hissy fit at the library.

"Come one, let's call it an end already" Harry called to the boy, from where his friend had the chakra that he still could go one, Harry didn't know, but he would not risk Naruto dropping of chakra exhaustion.

Naruto remained pig-headed and ignored him, again focusing his chakra.

"Naruto!" Harry admonished. "You need to know your limits, do you really want to drop dead from chakra exhaustion, like I did?"

Naruto faltered "I can still go on" He argued weakly, his hand-seal loosening up.

"You're shaking" Harry pointed out, gaze directed at the trembling limbs. The blonde opened his mouth again to argue but the Uchiha didn't let him.

"A Shinobi must know when to stop," He repeated again. "Or do you want to drop dead before you become Hokage?" Harry added harshly.

The smaller boy glared at him and kicked the ground.

"Fine!"

[ [ [ [4] ] ] ]

The next day was again spent tree climbing, but this time was Naruto too impatient to first go to the Uchiha training grounds and just went to the nearest tree by the academy field.

Harry watched him worried, there were no signs of the chakra exhaustion of yesterday, but better safe than sorry.

When he was about to take out his kunai, to join the boy in the exercise, felt he eyes on him and tensing, turned he around. There were always some kids and teenagers that didn't learned their lessons and still tried to attack Naruto, even after Harry demonstrated that messing with Naruto means messing with him and messing with a Uchiha is never a good think.

Pale eyes peeked behind a tree at him. He ignored the crash and the childish curses behind him and walked to the tree. Relaxing as he realized who spied on them.

"Hinata?" He asked, the girl fidget on her feet and mumbled something inaudible.

He let out a soft breath, something that made her even more unsure.

"..s-said...help...me..." She stammered and Harry managed to catch the words and nodded as he remembered. He didn't expect her to actually come to him.

The Hyuuga heiress chewed on her lips. "S-Sasuke-kun is good at taijutsu " She said at least.

"You want me to help with your taijutsu?" He suggested and she nodded shyly but with hopeful eyes.

Harry smiled. "Sure, no problem"
