A/N: Well not much to say other than, here's the next chapter in Renewal Of Existence, Now lets get right down to it
I felt nervousness bundle up inside of me, however rightly so, I mean who wouldn't? Going to the famous "Ninja Academy" of the leaf village definitely, would result in some nervousness, no? Well anyways, I've reached the age of 8, and so I was entered into the academy by my uncle, but then again I have to graduate this place If I really wanted to land some sort of an impact in this world, right I had to
I pushed down my nervousness for now, I moved my way into the courtyard of the academy with my uncle. The courtyard a bland place, it had some wooden training dummies, some trees, a huge door leading to the inside, overall it was nothing special. Spotting my teacher for the year, he had a big build, slightly chubby too. Absent mindedly I wondered, how it was possible for a ninja to put on weight.
As we walked closer towards the man, my uncle decided to strike up a conversation with the teacher.
With a very professional form my Uncle bowed then shaking hands with him whilst saying "Pleasure to meet your acquaintance, I am Unkai Kurama"
he then paused "Am I to understand, that you are to be Ryu's teacher for the year"
The teacher who identified himself as Dakikoko Funerou smiled gently replying "It would be a pleasure to have him as a student"
Just like that I was left in the care of a man I had known for less then a couple minutes. I was told to go inside to classroom number…uh…what was it again, ah yes classroom number 120. And so I marched forwards towards the classroom assigned to me. Once reached the room I pushed open the classroom doors and walked in. Not many people were here, seems as if I was one of the earliest people here, I went and took a seat in the back of the classroom, the very back where not much sunlight shined, the corner in fact. I sat there and looked around the classroom trying to identify if I knew anyone in this room. I saw one, can you guess who? It was Neji, Neji Hyuuga, simply chibified…speaking of which, I hope he's not a traumatised little prick at this age….yea don't think I could deal with that.
I wasn't able to identify anyone else in the room, so I simply sat there waiting for the class to be filled in, as the minutes went by more familiar faces started to pop up, two more to be exact, they were the other members of what would be Neji's team in the future, that along with that monstrosity of a man that would be their teacher, god bless their souls. People were interacting with others, left right and center, no one seemed to notice me though, even the people sitting to my right.
At last the teacher walked in, walking up to the chalkboard he wrote his name in big Kanji. It spelt Dakikoko Funerou, the notice of chalk really grated on my ears. He started his form of attendance and roll call.
"Hirohito Nu"
"Here!"
"Neji Hyuuga"
"Present, sensei"
And it continued until he got to my name, our sensei for the year stared at me expectantly, giving an internal sigh I gave my "here" so to speak. This had the added effect of making people jump, especially the people next to me. The stares were unpleasant to say the least. What? I don't like large crowds, can you fault me for that? Other then that the day seemed to continue pretty normally, we didn't get taught much on the physical side of things, more of an introduction day, outlining what we would be learning through the course of the 5 year program.
Once we were finally let out for the day, I looked up at the sky, it seemed we still had much of the day left, meaning today was a short day and truly an introduction day. Heading towards the Kurama compound and more importantly my home, I wanted to do some form of training before the day ran out, I had a feeling that I wouldn't get much time anymore because the academy would take up much of that time.
Speaking of training over the past few years I refined the only genjutsu taught to me to mastery levels, although considering it was only a "D" ranked genjutsu it wouldn't have much of an effect on people, however I managed to not only master it towards such levels, I managed to actually be able to control what Image would be sent although it had to be restricted as a "nightmare" from their mind or from mine , and surprisingly enough minor injuries would be sent through the genjutsu towards the victim. Meaning if the person had something like a kunai tossed at them in the illusion, and it cut, then on the outside world they would have that cut as well. However, if they got decapitated inside the illusion it wouldn't take effect, there would be a small cut near the next region instead, and so on and so forth.
Once I reached home I went inside opening the traditional Japanese Sliding doors.
I removed my sandals from my feet, speaking of which, everyone and I mean everyone seemed to wear sandals. I placed the sandals down whilst speaking out "Tadaima" which roughly translated to I'm home.
I heard my uncles distinct voice from down the hallway to his office "Okaerinasai" meaning welcome back.
I walked towards my uncle's office, opening the door I sat in front of him, in sezia position.
"How was your day?" my uncle asked, whilst putting down his documents
"…It wasn't too bad" I Slightly hesitated
My uncle picking up on this and raising an eyebrow question "Really?"
Giving in with a sigh I replied "Well, the teacher seemed nice…" I paused "….but I didn't really get along with the other students my age."
He stared at me sternly for a second "Why, don't you go train off whatever's bothering you"
And so I did, I went through my normal routine, I pushed myself everyday to improve, especially because of my condition hampering my physical capability's. It hurt every moment of it hurt going through katas, doing exercises hurt, although since of the effort I managed to put in I wasn't that frail, having about the same amount of body strength and coordination as a 6 year old. It's a scary thought of what I might've been like If I didn't push myself so hard…yea lets not go there. After the physical regime came the more interesting part, mental applications of genjutsu and controlling my reservoir of energy that's called chakra.
I had discovered my edge against my fellow classmates in the academy, how you might ask? Well…
Flashback-5 months
Sweat cascaded down my face, my body, and just generally, myself, as I trained my mind was elsewhere, I knew I had to join the academy in a couple months, my uncle himself told me he'd be registering me soon. I had to get an edge…..over all of my classmates, since I'm around two years behind in my physical prowess give or take, I needed an ace, something I could use to get an edge…..I stopped going through katas, and quickly located an animal around my soundings, seriously what's with the abundance of cats, its like they were begging to be my draining dummies.
The idea that came to mind was simple, wasn't too hard nor too easy, but the concept itself was simple. What if, I could cause slight disruptions nothing major, for instance tricking the opponent on where my fist was going to land, or where my kunai would land by making them see slight alterations, tricks of the eye so to speak. But theory was different from implementing it, this would take quite some practice to perfect. Getting a shine of determination in my eyes, I got up and set to work.
Flashback-5 months-End
I had diligently trained on the concept for the past while, it was coming along nicely, I could perform it to some extent meaning I could change small things, while having an effect didn't have much of it as I had wanted, it'll be something time will remedy after all.
As expected my control only went up on the spectrum of things, genjutsu and control do go hand in hand, imagine not having any control on your illusions, that's madness, it'll get you would simply get you killed! Imagine trying to cast an illusion on someone only to cast it on your ally, and then you're BOTH dead, yea that is if the illusion even manages to form with shitty control. I had been able to get leaves to float above all ten of my fingers! Even managed to climb the damn trees too, that would be quite helpful in the long run I'd reckon.
Life seems to be taking a turn for the better lately, everything seems to be improving, not much worries now, I'm getting stronger, soon I'll be able to make an impact on this world, but for now lets take baby steps. I walked inside slowly, very tired, from the days activities, and so I crashed onto my bed, I laid down didn't bother changing, simply laid down and fell into blissful unconsciousness.
A/N: Anyways that was chapter…oh yes, three of Renewal Of Existence….on another note writers block wasn't any fun, no not at all. Now if you've got any suggestions on the path this story's heading too, or anything at all, leave it in the review section or give me a PM.

This had the added effect of making people jump, especially the people next to me. The stares were unpleasant to say the least. I glared at the lot of them, sweat started to cascade down my face, anger started rolling off me in waves….then it happened, I fell asleep, I was inside my mind wandering about wondering what's happening, I heard the occasional scream of pain and such, finally I woke up, looking around the leaf village was in ruins, wait hold on a second, what? I rubbed my eyes, it was too much for me to comprehend, I just passed out, what else could I have done, like really?
