Naruto grinned as he looked at himself in the mirror. Perfect. He looked just like Shisui-niisan. He set out some of the chicken food that the Old Man had given him last night for Bawk. The team that was going to be building Bawk's new home were outside already and arguing about where to put it.
Once Bawk was fed and watered, he grabbed his books and his lunch and set out to the Academy.
The first person he encountered at the Academy was Kiba. Kiba was loud, but he was cool sometimes, and they occasionally skipped class together.
"Um, Naruto. Why are you wearing eye make-up?" Kiba asked.
"To look like Shisui-nii." he replied. "All the best ninjas wear make-up. Shisui-nii told me so."
"Yeah. Sure. Whatever." Kiba said as they went into class.

When Ichigo Wanaka - who had gotten a great deal of confusion over his name since thanks to some unknown ancestor he had a family name that was more commonly a given name - came into class that morning, it had been to find the Uzumaki boy drawing on Uchiha Sasuke with an eyeliner pencil.
It wouldn't do to let the Uzumaki become friends with the likes of an Uchiha especially since...
"Uzumaki!" he yelled. "What do you think you're doing?"
"I'm making Sasuke look like a totally awesome ninja like..." the demon brat started.
"Totally awesome ninja? You're making him look like a fag. Only fags wear make-up." he cut across the boy's explanation.
Instead of getting upset at the demon brat and pushing him away like he expected him to, Sasuke turned and glared at him. The demon brat got up and turned to leave.
"Uzumaki! Just where do you think you're going?" he bellowed at the boy.
"I'm going to go tell Shisui-nii that you called him a fag." the demon brat said before vanishing altogether.
"Whatever." he said before turning to call roll, wondering why the Uchiha boy was still glaring at him. Whatever it was, it wasn't his problem.
He came to seriously regret his actions at the start of class when a Uchiha with very familiar eye markings showed up fifteen minutes into the lesson and beat the shit out of him.

Uchiha Fugaku had a massive headache. One of his own had attacked an Academy Instructor for no apparent reason, and had to be pulled off the man and brought in. The Hokage had strongly hinted that if he didn't deal strongly with Shisui, he would.
As he was debating on whether or not he should take an asprin and be on call or take something stronger and knock himself out for the rest of the day, Sasuke raced into his office looking worried.
"You're not going to send Shisui-nii to prison are you?" Sasuke asked.
"No. Why?" he asked. He had been planning on suspending the brat for a month without pay.
"Good." Sasuke replied, looking relieved. "That Instructor got what he deserved for calling me and Shisui-nii fags."
"Your Instructor what?" he asked, hoping he'd misheard his son even though what the child was saying had confirmed Shisui's explanation for his actions.
