I don't own Naruto, just Shiori.
"She unlocked her Sharingan early, and over a simple spar"
"I wonder what will push her to Mangekyō."
"She's only in the primary state, in both eyes, we should wait a bit."
"Either way, we need to start training it immediately."
"She's only six."
"She's a prodigy, Kano-san, we can't pass up this chance."
"What about Itachi, and Shisui! Fugaku, Elders, please she's just a child, we have time."
"Kano, it's for the clan."
"Hitoshi… fine. We'll start training her."
Staring at the courtyard of the Academy building, I was nervous to say the least. How did I get here? Oh wait…
(Flashback)
"We enrolled you into the Academy! The Hokage agreed to let you, Itachi, and Shisui enter the Academy after we showed him your brilliance." Kaa-chan explained excitedly, it sort of sounded like bragging at the end.
"OK."
"Classes start in a few months, and I'm going to prepare you to completely vaporize the competition, including Itachi and Shisui." Kaa-chan's scowl tells me there another competition between her and the boy's parents (does Shisui have parents?).
"Yay."
Tou-san stared at us, probably asking himself why he marry the woman that was now his wife. Kaa-chan was crazy, and Tou-san was emotionless, almost. Opposites attract, right? Anyway, so I was right in my hypothesis, about the cramming. I also like to think that the real reason that we're being put into the Academy early, was actually to show that the Uchiha were better than other clans by have three prodigies in one generation. Haha, stuck up Uchihas and their superiority complexes.
"Oh, and we're going to train your Sharingan, too." Fudge, the chakra cost.
(End)
Many lessons, near trips to the hospital, and one birthday (mine) later, here I am, standing in front of the Academy. I'm not ready. I'm bad at handling people in my past life, or was at least I wasn't very social and kept to myself. I haven't changed much have I.
"Hey Shiori! Come on. We're going to be late." Shisui called out, late, right.
"Hn."
"Coming!"
Walking to where Itachi and Shisui stood, at the doorway, I looked around the courtyard. There was that swing that Naruto was always sitting on, the ground was patched with clumps of grass, contrasting from the packed dirt that had been stepped on many a time. There as an entire side blocked by trees and shrubs, and just behind was part of the building connecting to the administrative building, that part also held the Hokage office.
"So… why did we arrive fifteen minutes early?" I asked.
Classed started at 8:30 AM, and it takes twenty minutes to get from the Uchiha district to the Academy (the compound was at the edge of the village), if my watch was right at least. We had left 7:55 AM, so 8:15 minus 7:55, equals twenty minutes, just checking my math. There were very few kids around, mostly diligent clan children. We were allowed inside at 8:20 Am, so we have five minutes to wait. We didn't have early morning training today because we had to go to the Academy. Though we were told we were going to start up again next week, but it was going to be shorter, unless it was a no school day.
"The early bird gets the worm." Shisui replied.
"But there's no worm to be had." I countered.
"We got here early because we live at the edge of the Village, and Okaa-san didn't what us to be late. She got Kano-san and Akira-san woke you up early and gathered you at my house to eat breakfast, then they shooed us out of the compound." Itachi said, all fact too.
"Oh right." Shisui and I chorused.
"So that old woman is Akira-san?"
"Yeah, she's my grandmother."
"So… you're an orphan living with your grandmother, parents most likely killed in the war."
"Yeah, that was oddly on target."
"It makes the most sense as we did just get out of war."
"It's been years."
"A few years."
And so, the conversation went on, with Itachi cutting in every now and then, until the doors opened.
We were all in the same class, 4-A, but I doubt it's going to stay that way. We were advanced, so we were probably going to get into more advanced classes, as you do. Itachi graduated in a year, and Shisui was probably close to that. I would have to keep up. Ah fudge, this is tiresome.
Entering the building with the other children, we found our classroom and sat down. Three Uchihas sitting next to each other is pretty suspicious, so the teacher would maybe move us, but hey, we have lunch to talk. As the rest of the class filtered in, some threw glances at the Uchiha trio, but mostly ignored them.
"So, how is the Sharingan training going?" Shisui asked, a bit out of the blue.
"Exhausting."
"We could see that, you nearly collapsed a few times."
"Though, if I wasn't of Uchiha blood, and instead had an implanted eye, the strain would be much worse."
"When did you get so smart?"
"Shut up."
A chuckle from the boys, and que me pouting.
Then the teacher came in, class start.
"My name is Suki Aki, and I will be your Chunin instructor this year. I will start with attendance each day, when I call your name respond."
Blah blah blah, nope, no important names yet.
"Inuzuka Hana." Ooh, Kiba's sister, maybe I can be her friend.
"Here."
More pointless names.
"Uchiha Shiori."
"Here, sir."
A few names later, Shisui and Itachi's names were called.
"Alright. Today we will be measuring your skill, and we will also be doing an introduction on Shinobi."
Fun. At least we have some interesting people.
(IIIo101oIII)
"Alright class, you have about an hour of break for lunch." Aki Sensei said, and then promptly walked out.
The students in the aforementioned class then immediately started to chat among themselves. A small group of girls were swooning about Itachi and Shisui, to be honest, it was amusing to see the boys shrink to try and hide. The fangirls also hate me, glaring at me every few moments, after all, I sit with their beloved Itachi and Shisui. The boys were mostly neutral to us, though, the few more flamboyant ones were jealous. Ha, children are hilarious to watch. I sound like an old, evil, amused, mad scientist. Like Orochimaru.
Anyway, I pulled out my bento and began to eat. The boys followed soon after. Eating about 75% of my food in a few minutes, I tried to start a conversation, but was met with grunts and huffing. Oh well for talking like regular children. Finishing the rest of my bento, I had two options. A) go outside by myself and be anti-social like in my last life, or B) wait for the boys to finish eating and sit in awkward silence. Because I parentally eat really fast compared to others, unlike in my last life, where I was the slowest eater in my family.
"I'm going outside." The boys looked at me, and then nodded.
The area the we could play in was far from the practice/lessons area, where all the targets and sparring area is. Since the different years had different lunch periods, after all, we don't want nearly a hundred children running around at the same time. It was spacious, lots of room for energetic kids to run around in, playing ninja. There were trees everywhere, bordering the entire space, scattered around the here and there. It's like someone was practicing there mokuton here, but I don't think Yamato was trained here, nor that Harshirama was alive when it was built. Now, I need to find Iruka or Hana, Shisui was going to die (most likely) and Itachi will murder the clan, if I survive, I'll need people to lean on.
"Hey! You!" I turned to see one of the girls in my class.
"Yes?"
"You're close to Itachi Uchiha, right? What does he like?"
Oh, a Itachi fangirl, asking me for information.
"Privacy, observing people, and dango." I replied, a smile on my face.
"What about Shisui?" Shisui too, hilarious.
"Sweets, things that are mentally challenging, and peace."
"So… they like sweets?"
"Eh, sure let's go with that."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Oh, seems like the new celebrates are honoring us with their presence."
Itachi and Shisui were walking towards us, though it was more like scared Shisui trying to hide behind an uncaring Itachi, funny. There was a small group of fangirls just behind the tree that we were in front of. The two lads got quite popular in the grade, information spreads fast here, gossip circles made up of girls, future possible spymasters. My Uchiha males got the highest scores when they were tested, which got the girls attention for sure. Sadly, since Itachi got a slightly better score than Shisui, much of the fangirls are Itachi's. But, since Itachi is the heir of an entire clan, they have nearly no chance of marrying him, now eloping with him is a completely different thing completely.
The girl that was talking to me, ran off blushing. Probably to go join the group behind the tree.
"Shiori! There you are! Save us!" Shisui whisper shouted, eyes moving around rapidly, and moving to hide behind me.
"What happened?" I asked Itachi.
"After you left, fangirls started to surround us."
"Ah, and Shisui was extremely uncomfortable and tried to get out of the situation, but ended up get somewhat scared and now is paranoid."
"Exactly."
Shisui was desperately tried to duck behind my much smaller form.
"He'll get over it in a few minutes. We shouldn't worry." Itachi assured my slightly annoyed self.
The girls just beyond the tree were gushing over their dear Uchihas, and glared at the female so close to them. Shisui noticed them, and practically begged us to move away. Later, Shisui calmed down and apologies for using us as a shield, and because we did nothing else but avoid fangirls.
Maybe I can talk to Hana tomorrow.

The class directly after lunch was sex specific. Kunoichi and Shinobi classes. I have no idea about what the Shinobi class is about, but Kaa-chan did make me learn mostly everything in the Kunoichi classes. I doubt that I remember anything, I tuned her out most of the time.
"Hello class, I am your Kunoichi class teacher, Suzume Masaki. Today we will go over what you will learn over your four-year education, as I will be your Kunoichi teacher throughout your time here." Wait, the Academy only has one Kunoichi teacher? Well that weird, though not many girls enroll.
"We will go over flower arranging, etiquette, how to properly apply makeup, how to properly wear a kimono, how to do your hair, and how to use your body to your advantage." So, how to be a girl and seduce a man, I'm also guessing that we're going to have a class talking about puberty.
This is going to get awkward.
"So, do we just wait for our parents, or walk home?"
"Okaa-chan, Kano-san, and Akira-san said to get home before nightfall, so I think we're allowed to do whatever we want till that time Shisui."
"I don't think we're allowed to do whatever we want Shiori."
"You know what I mean Shisui."
"Hey! Itachi don't leave us!" And with that, we're started to run after Itachi.
Class had ended at four-thirty with the regular core classes from my past life. Shinobi and training take up mostly the early hours and a bit after lunch, and the civilian teachings. Us three had the highest scores in pretests are currently the best, but it's the first day, I say by the end of the week we'll be advanced. But only time will tell.
"We could go train." Itachi suggested.
I really didn't want to train, I was as lazy as a Nara. But, I also had a habit of going with the crowd, or what my friends think, and Shisui seemed to want to train too.
And so, we sent till five-thirty training, and till six studying specialties that we might want to pursue.
"You want to be a medic?"
"You want to be boring and become a member of the Military Police?"
"Keep reading you two."
*Poke*
*Chuckles*
Glaring Itachi was interesting to see, the highlight of the day for sure.

I wondered that night if I still could remember skills from my old life. Like English. I definitely could remember Chinese, I had to use it when I write kanji. Speaking it? Maybe not. Anyway, let's test out my language skills!
Putting my pencil to the paper, I wrote out the alphabet. Easy enough. Now for words.
I could remember nearly all my vocabulary from my thirteen years that I could remember, I not really surprised, because seven years of speaking Japanese is way shorter than the time I spent speaking English and Chinese.
Though when I tried to remember beyond those thirteen years, something strange happened.
"Alright, meditation helps open the mind and focus it. Let's try it out." I placed down the book I had cracked open, for the information to attempt to find my lost memories.
Closing my eyes, I calmed my breath and tried to focus on clearing my mind, focusing myself on small clips of memory from past nineteen years of life.
A sudden migraine hit me with a fury.
Then, images. Many, many images of writings, words, and just understanding of the English language. It seems that all my twenty-one years of English lessons from my past life have returned to me. My head hurt.
Maybe I should try writings some more. With a migraine.
My shaky hand managed to write out what I wanted it to. Writing, no problem. Now for speaking.
I had a feeling that my new guardians would be able to hear me, as it was like, seven PM, and everyone was home.
Eh, let's do it.
"Alright, English seems to be fine. Now 中文. 简单的话, 马, 羊, 牛, 猪, 狗, 猫, 老鼠, 龙, 猴, 狼, 狐狸, 鸡, 全部动物. 现在食物, 米饭, 蔬菜, 鸡蛋, 炒饭." And on and on I went, till I was satisfied with my language abilities.
I put the paper I used in a bag, it was going burn it tomorrow. Hey, can't have my parents knowing about this, or can I? Naw.
I went to bed after that.
At least I know that I will be able to unlock my memories.
Wonder if the Yamanaka techniques are hiden ninjutsu?
Guess who's been a lazy ass this entire month? Sorry for my lateness, I had to help this old lady, and I got sidetracked. I kidd. I was just really busy this month, I will hopefully be earlier with the next chapter. At least this chapter is longer. This is unedited, so yeah, sorry for grammar mistake and misspellings. Reviews are something I really like reading, so please review. Please?
