"Yaaaaaaaawn"

I rose out of my bed and opened my eyes. "Augh! It burns!" I screamed as I fell over my bed as my face collided with the hard wood floor. I was knocked out…

It took me about five minutes to come to. At first, I was pissed; I wanted curtains, badly. Then I was sad; my face hurts! Then, I was concerned; nobody tried to wake me up yet… Finally, I was excited; today was the first day I would be going to the Ninja academy. I quickly got up and ran to my bathroom to take a bath. (I take baths… they're more soothing than showers, as well as more effective, especially when you've got long hair.) I got out dried myself and headed to my door.

I opened the door and walked out two steps before a girl about the same age as me came to me and saw me. She quickly looked at me with wide eyes and had a double take. After a while, while I was frozen and thinking she was insane, she finally pointed at me and said, "You're naked…"

"Huh?" I looked down. "AHHHHH!" I screamed out as I shot back into my room and closed the door shut behind me, panting heavily. I grabbed my robe and put it on, lost in thought. I mean… a girl about my age saw me… she saw me naked… and yet… I didn't know who she was!

I finished getting dressed and opened the door slightly. I peered out through the small crack to see the hallway empty. I walked down it, planning to leave the complex, silently of course. I walked out, tiptoeing. My heart raced every time I passed a door, for the potential for it to open was great. My heart beat became irregular as I thought of running into the girl again. She wasn't a Hyuuga, that much I could see right away. She must have been the daughter to one of our maids. That's the only reason I could formulate in my head that she was in the main complex for, unless she had Clan business, which is unlikely.

I crept up to the sparing box with my back to the wall as I slowly approached it. I leaned my head in to see two Hyuuga kids inside being supervised by Neji. I walked by casually, looking at Neji. The two kids, both wearing regular white bandages around their heads, had their elbows locked with each other. They were sparing with each other. They were much younger than me, yet I saw that both had their Byakugan activated. Neji looked up to me and nodded. I nodded back and finally made my way to the front of the compound.

Today started rather interesting…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Alright students," a man said to us. He was wearing exactly the same thing Kakashi was wearing; only his underclothing was lighter. He had his headband straight on his forehead, much like Neji. He had a tanned complexion and had a scar across his nose. He had his hair in a ponytail which was on end. What a strange hairstyle…

"I'm your teacher from now until you graduate. My name is Umino Iruka, and here is how this first day is going to go. You will come up and announce your name, hobbies, and what you wish to accomplish as a ninja. After you do that, randomly point out a different child in the class, and they will do what you just did. When you introduce yourself, stand over here." He explained.

Clamoring started up. I assume some of these kids already knew each other. Iruka smiled and pulled up a clipboard, "First up, Will Nara Shikaiki come up here?"

A girl stood up and smiled brightly. She was wearing those pants everyone seemed to have; hers were colored brown. She had a net shirt under a small lightweight jacket that was a lighter shade of brown. She had her hair down to her waist, which had a golden color. She had brown eyes that looked bored beyond comprehension. She was pretty slender… She walked over to the front of the class and looked at everyone, "Hey everyone…" Well, she was open... -ish… "I'm Shikaiki. I like sitting outside. I, in all honesty, just want to prove something, I guess that's all…" she said, dully.

She looked over to the class and pointed a limp finger, "your turn." I looked around, everyone looked at me. "That's right, pretty boy, you." I sighed and stood up. She walked back to her seat and we passed each other. I gave her a look like I wanted to strangle her. When she saw me… she smiled…

"I'm Hyuuga Hiatari." People began to murmur. I felt like sneezing… "My hobby is running around Konoha with… Neechan… and I want to prove that I am not useless." People silenced. Of course they would, what Hyuuga is made to feel useless? Even branch members are successful, somewhat. I got tired of standing up there, with their eyes peering at me. I raised a limp finger, "Hey sunshine, come down here." I said pointing to a blonde boy with blue eyes. I walked up to my seat while he ran down.

He wore a purple suit, consisting of long baggy pants and a shirt that revealed the wearer's bellybutton and shoulders. Under this shirt he was bandaged heavily with white bandages from the waist up and shoulders down to elbows. He had some muscle on him, but he was skinny for the most part. He stood in front as I sat down. He smiled, "I'm not sunshine," he said, with a touch of malice in his voice, "I'm Inosuki Akimichi! I'm into herbology and I want to live up to my parents!" He blank a few times and smiled mischievously, "It's not random, but I pick my twin brother!" he said, pointing to the opposite end of the room.

I heard a groan as another boy got up and walked to the front as Inosuki, as he called himself, came back up. Another kid walked down. This kid was big; he had yellow-orange hair that was spiked in its own right. He had been wearing a blue light jacket and black shorts. He sighed, "Yeah, I'm Chobu Akimichi, that's my little brother. I like to eat meats and I also want to live up to my parents."

This process continued for a while… For now, I don't think I should continue recording this in my mind… I was bored…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So is it true, you're a Hyuuga?" a girl asked me. She had light blue hair and had bright amber eyes, which were huge! I mean, They're bigger than mine! Anyway, she was wearing basic black pants that actually reached to her ankles. She wore close-toed shoes, unlike most of us. She wore a plain red sleeved shirt that reached to her elbows. Her name was Byouki Tsuki

She was on the seating chart assigned to sit next to me. We were in the waaaay back, far right corner. She sat to my right, being in the absolute corner. I sat in the middle, while another classmate, who was relatively quiet, sat to my right. He had the same shirt she did, only in a navy proportion. His pants, like most of us, reached up to just below our knees, they too were black. He had bandages from his wrists to half his forearm. He had dark brown eyes; I could mistake them for black. He was known as Zetsumei Airomaru.

"Aye, it be true…" I decided I'd give myself an accent, on account of being so bored…

"But…" she began protesting, "You have black eyes… Do you have eyespots?"

"Aye, they be black indeed, but what thoust mean by 'eyespots'?" I said, trying not to laugh.

"You know," She got real close to me and then pointed to her eye, "This black part in my eye."

Trying to keep cool, I kept the accent up, "Nay, I do not be having those in my possession…"

She smiled and blushed slightly, which confused me. She got even closer to me, effectively invading my personal space, and said, "You're big…"

"Huh?" I said, confused beyond comprehension. She quickly snapped back to her sitting position, "Nothing!" she told me, singsong like.

"Uh-huh…" I thought. I couldn't help but be worried and flattered by that comment… What did she mean!?

"Achoo…"

I turned to see Airomaru brushing off his nose. Trying not to be a jackass like person, I asked, "Got a cold?"

"Sniff, No… Someone must be talking about me…" He said, unmoving, fingers locked in front of his face.

"Who'd be talking about you?" I asked, "and behind your back?"

He turned his head to the opposite corner of the class and scanned the class once over slowly, "I can imagine a few…"

It was true. When he introduced himself, most females in the classroom lit up and started vying for his attention. The whole madness only ended when we finally got our seating charts.

"Students! Listen up!" Iruka-sensei, the guy Naruto admires, spoke to us, "Take a look at your two desk mates, they will be your Team from now until the day you graduate and become genin… Know that after graduation that your current team mates will not be on your Genin team, for these have been chosen randomly and the Genin teams are chosen through skills. With this in mind, some teams might vastly over power others, but that is why you're teams in the first place, to push each other and get stronger."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I looked at Airomaru and Tsuki and smiled. Hey, if I get along with them relatively well now, we should be bitchin' by the time we graduate… in two years… Okay, downside… I feel sad now… Lets see what this day is like for today…

"Okay then, Airomaru, Hiatari, Tsuki…" A man with silver hair spoke as he pointed to us individually. He wore cloth over is eyes (can he really see through them, or is it all guess work?) and a mask much like Kakashi. His outfit was identical to Iruka's. "My name is Kokoka Genai; I will be your Training Chunin. Whenever you need to practice experience on the field first hand, I'm your go-to guy. Today is your first day so I would like to see what you can do. More than likely you can only come at me with Taijutsu. The odds of one of you using Ninjutsu isn't large, but neither small; some of your parents may have prepared you. The probability that any of you will use Genjutsu, however, is more than likely null. So, are there any questions before we get started?"

Tsuki rose her hand, "Yeah um… What's Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu?"

I could see the would-be teacher sweat drop. "Okay… A blank explanation of this would be… Okay I got it!" he spoke to himself, "Ninjutsu is manipulating your chakra to create effects for yourself. Some can manipulate it to shoot fire, others can manipulate it to freely move water, others can control wind, and some can move the earth. Things like that. Genjutsu is to manipulate your chakra around someone else to confuse them in to seeing and feeling things that aren't really happening. Taijutsu is basically throwing punches and kicks… for the most part… Okay does that explain everything?"

She smiled brightly, "Yeah!"

"Alright then," he said, letting out a sigh, "Lets begin?"

Airomaru instantly jumped out of the way towards some bushes. I followed the example and jumped away to hide in a tree. Tsuki stayed standing in front of Genai, looking confused.

Genai visibly smiled behind his mask, "So you're first…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I heard a feminine voice. I quickly ruffled through the tree leaves to see Tsuki unconscious. She was sprawled on the floor and had some bruises and cuts on her. I narrowed my eyes; Genai was nowhere to be found.

"Even the slightest sound can give your position away…"

I quickly turned to see Genai with a shuriken twirling on his finger. He smiled and threw me a kick. I was launched towards the clearing Tsuki was knocked out in and landed hard on my back.

"Ugh… That… That hurt…" I said, struggling to breathe. I looked at the tree I had been in and saw Genai was gone. I turned around and sure enough, there he was. He smiled (I think…) and rushed at me again. He kicked me again and sent me flying a few meters back. I hit my back against a tree, "Guah!"

I cant believe I was being hurt so badly… That's when I remembered his words, 'Ninjutsu is manipulating your chakra to create effects for yourself. Some can manipulate it to shoot fire, others can manipulate it to freely move water, others can control wind, and some can move the earth. Things like that. Genjutsu is to manipulate your chakra around someone else to confuse them in to seeing and feeling things that aren't really happening. Taijutsu is basically throwing punches and kicks… for the most part…'

I coughed into my hand and looked at the blood that was in it. I stood up and started panting. Genai stood there, his shuriken still in hand, still spinning. I began to think back.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Alright Hiatari… I want you to try and punch my face in… 's hard as you can…"

"Naruto-oniichan… Why"

"Well, I have a feeling this will come in handy for you…"

I rushed at Naruto and threw a punch at him. He sidestepped and grabbed my fist and rushed it down to the floor, causing me to trip and connect my face with the dirt.

"Pppppt!" I said… sort of… as I spat out the dirt in my mouth. "No fair! You're better at me than this!"

"But you have the potential to be better than me one day… you have talents you have yet to get… trust me… you can hit me…"

I rushed at him again and punched at him. This time he sidestepped and dropped down low to my level and swiped his arm up while under mine. His strength was incredible, because my arm was now in an inhuman reverse 45º angle. I quickly yelled out in pain and fell backward as my arm slowly curved to its humane position.

"Do you see your mistake?"

"I'm too slow?"

"Well yes, but when you punch, you use all your force to go forward. When you punch at me, try side-swinging instead of jabbing directly."

I got up and ran at him, punching sideways. He ducked under my arm, which was funny and amazing. For him to duck so low, he was actually on his back. Basically, he had gone from standing to laying. He quickly punched up and my side arm and hit my elbow again. It curved really badly and popped as I fell backward in pain once more.

"You're getting good, but you have to realize that not everything will work…"

"You told me to punch at you like that, bastard!"

"Hey… watch your mouth, little six year old brat…"

"Old man!"

"Why I oughta-"

Smack! (What...? were you expecting a 'biff', 'bam', or a 'pow'?)

Naruto turned his head, and had a red cheek. I was next to him panting. I just closed fist backhanded him…

"Distraction… that's smart…"

I panted. True, I had to distract him, but I also had to run approximately four meters to reach him and punch him, without him being able to counter. It seems it worked. "Yeah… I know…"

Naruto smiled at me, "You are his son…"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"You know… Your outfit looks like it was chosen by an old lady…" I said, backing up off the tree and standing.

"What!?" Genai yelled. I had already ran up to him and punched up at him, uppercut!

He quickly backed up and caught my fist.

"Yeah, It looks gay!"

"I'll have you kn-"

Pow! (Happy?)

I had kicked him in the rib.

He yelled out in slight pain and used his other hand to grab my arm and tossed me really high up.

"Wuaaaaahoh!" I yelled as I was now effectively twenty feet in the sky.

He put his hands together in front of himself and started to move them really fast. His hand started to glow blue as he quickly started to hover his hand over where I had kicked him. After he finished, he took his shuriken and tossed it directly at me.

It came at me. Most kids, in this situation, would think something like 'I'm gunna die!' but I wasn't. I was thinking more like 'I'm probably gunna die!' I knew that if I had caught that shuriken, I'll probably be able to rebound this, although that would take precise measurements. I'm good at measuring; really good, but I'm not a measuring god. I had to chance it. It was about a meter away from me when I swiped my left hand down. I caught it, but I caught it wrong, cutting my hand up really good. I screamed out in pain as I quickly grabbed the shuriken with my right hand and tossed it back at Genai.

It hit him in the neck, and he fell back. I thought I was screwed, but then he imploded and was replaced by smoke and a log. I sighed in relief. I looked down and realized that I was falling more than eight meters down. There's no way I'll live. Suddenly I was caught in mid air. My savior and I landed on the floor and he put me down. I looked at him and saw Airomaru. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah… thanks Airomaru…"

I heard the rustling of leaves. Airomaru out of nowhere shoved me back and jumped backwards as two kunai flew past us. Airomaru quickly rushed his hands together and began to move them in different patters. He finished by having both of his index and both of his middle fingers pointed up as he bent back and called out. "Fuuton!"

He lunged his upper body forward in the direction the kunai came from and yelled, "Tatsu no Kokyuu!"(1) He blew out really hard and a rush of wind blasted from his mouth, cutting the tree in front of us into individual small logs. He stopped blowing and began to breath regularly, then heavily. He must have exhausted himself.

Genai fell from the sky and landed on the floor not far from us. "Impressive, that's a large chakra reserve, and that's a high chunin level jutsu… Although you over exerted your chakra; used too much… You're exhausted; physically from catching Hiatari and chakra wise from using too much than required. You can pass out now if you want…"

Airomaru sighed and fell forward, limp. Genai sighed and said, "Alright exercise over…" I sighed and fell to my knees. Thank god it was over!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Stop that, Ow. Ow. Ow."

"Shut up, tying bandages is hard, you know…"

I had my left hand out in front of me as Tsuki was wrapping cloth around it tightly. Airomaru was laid down on a small blue mat next to me. He was panting heavily and had his eyes closed. We were in the infirmary. Tsuki had some bandages over herself in more than once places. I found it amazing that despite being hurt, she was still so cheerful.

"Augh!" I screamed in pain. She pulled on the bandage as tight as she could and cut the thread. She looked up at me and stood up. She smiled brightly, "It's done."

I pulled my hand to my face and clenched my fingers into a fist and opened them again. I did this about five times before I said, "It feels better, thanks…"

"Everyone okay now?"

We turned to see Genai standing at the door. He had an orange book in one hand and his other was limp at his side. He walked into the infirmary and the closer he got, the sicker I felt. That book... It was different, but oh… I'd recognize that symbol anywhere. I called it 'The 'Anti' Symbol' due to the fact that it was a circle with a slash diagonally across it. It was the same symbol that Kakashi's blue book had… I got up and walked up to my would-be teacher and looked at him.

"Hmm?" he said as he brought the book down a bit to my level so he could see…

…

(Blasted eye cloth… covering his eyes and what not…) He brought the book down so that I could she the tan cloth over his eyes.

I prodded the book with my index finger a few times. He said 'hmm' again as he retracted his book altogether and put it behind his back, "There's nothing to see here, Hiatari…"

"You're a perverted old guy…"

My teacher visibly flinched, "I'm not Old!"

Tsuki began to laugh, Airomaru let out a chuckle, and I was mortified; I think Genai was too…

"Listen, I wouldn't want to turn down a gift from the Hokage… sure it's a hand-me-down but he said I'd like the series," he brought the book to his front again, "Icha Icha Paradise is a perfect manuscript, with Icha Icha Tactics as its sequel, and Icha Icha Utopia as an even better sequel written by one of the author's students…"

"Who wrote it…?" I asked him, annoyed and ready to destroy something.

"I was actually warned by the Hokage himself not to tell you who wrote it, but he didn't say that he was a great man and you probably knew him." He answered, now reading his book again.

"I know the author?" I asked, confused. "Maybe you did… I'm just guessing…" he said, turning the page.

I grumbled. "Oh," Genai said, putting the book by his side, "speaking of the Hokage, he wanted me to remind you to go see him right now… He wanted to see you about…" Genai paused for a while, "Twenty Minutes ago…"

"What!? Ahhh!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I ran out the room, still screaming, and made my way to the Hokage Tower.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Huff… Puff… Huff… Puff…"

I had reached the door to the Hokage's Office. I was breathing heavily. Maybe sprinting to this place from the academy while screaming at the top of my lungs the whole way wasn't such a good idea. I gathered my breath.

I knocked on the door…

No reaction…

I knocked again…

Nothing…

I tried to open the door but it was locked. I knocked again…

Nothing again…

I punched the door hard, making a loud echo through the hallway.

Nothing…

I pulled my fist back once more,

"Hey…"

I screeched to a stop in mid-punch as I turned. There he was, Kakashi. He had his forehead protector covering his left eye. He was wearing the same suit as the other day, A Chunin outfit with a black underclothing and minus the vest. He had that blue book in one hand and the Hokage's Hat in his other. "You must be Hiatari…"

"Um… didn't you want to see me twenty minutes ago?"

He smiled behind his mask, "Well you see, I had some extra paperwork to- … well you probably don't care about that…" he said as he pulled the book down so as to see me with his one eye. He put the Hokage's Hat on his back and pulled out some keys from his pocket. He walked to the door as if I wasn't there and opened it. He walked in, silently giggling. I stood there, unmoving.

"Hey… you want to walk in or do I have to drag you in?" he said from within the room. I snapped back to reality and I turned red, "Oh, okay!" I darted into the room, closing the door behind me.

He was already at the chair behind his desk. He put the book down, saving his page, and laced his fingers in front of him, "Take a seat."

I complied.

He took a deep breath and let a long sigh out, "I have two reasons why you're here. One, I can finally get rid of something that has been plaguing me for quite a while already. And two, Naruto requested that I see you." I nodded. "Regardless of Naruto requesting me to see you, I would have called you in here one of these days anyway. But I digress, better sooner than later, right?" I nodded again. "I've got good news and bad news and worse news… and great news…" he said as if he were trying to figure out his words. I nodded again. He smiled at me, "Are you turning into a bobble head? I sure hope you have a string on your back, I don't like it when my voice is the only one in the room…"

"S-s-s-so-so-sor-or-rr-sorry!" I managed to say. Damn it, it is hereditary!

He chuckled beneath his breath. "So what do you want? The great news, the good news, the bad news, or the worse news?" I tried to be professional about this, "um… lets s-s-start fr-from the worst t-t-to the b-b-be-est…"

"Alright," Kakashi said, "The worse news… hmm… grammatical error… Oh, right… really bad news. Okay. Well lets just say that even I have people superior to me; yeah I know, who's more superior to the Hokage? Well I'll spare you the details and tell you that the higher ups want me to keep you under ANBU surveillance, basically saying, you will be deprived of privacy."

"Why?" I said concerned and scared. Turns out fear can cure the stuttering shyness.

"Too many details, but in short, they want to keep tabs on, what they affectingly call their 'hybrid'… you…"

I think I said this before… you don't get much when you're half Hyuuga, half Uchiha.

Kakashi noticed me looking down in a mixture of emotions and moved on, "The bad news, your elders will have to be notified, so as they don't attack our ANBU incase they become detected. But," he paused, "I have pulled strings already which will… force… your elders to allow you to keep attending the academy, that being the good news."

I looked up at him. Did he do something for me?

"And finally the great news… I'm going to teach you how to use the Sharingan…" he said.

I got up, "Are you serious!?"

"Lost your stutter, I see…" he said, "Yes I am serious. Oh an I have a side note," I sat back down, "when you come of age, you will inherit the old Uchiha mansion to do with as you please. Nobody, not even me or the council keeping tabs on you, can take this right from you. The only people that can take this away from you are the daimyo himself, and the last two Uchiha's. You're lucky because the daimyo would care less, Uchiha Itachi has no plans for this village, and Sasuke utterly refuses to return here; not that he'd be allowed to anyway."

I nodded. "Alright, that's all for today. I want you to come here every day, even your days off. We'll see if we can't force your inner Shakugan to come out…"

I looked at him with my eyebrow cocked up, "Shakugan?"

He chuckled, "Think, Shakugan! Get it?" I shook my head, "Oh, sorry, it's a play on words. Sharingan. Byakugan. I just mixed the two and made Shakugan… cause… c'mon… Byaringan sounds dumb… right?" he finished, laughing silently to himself. I laughed nervously back while slightly nodding.

He let out a long drawn sigh and unlaced his fingers and stood up, "It's been educational, and I look forward to seeing your potential, Hiatari." He held out his hand. I looked at it and grabbed it. We shook hands.

"Um… goodbye, Hokage-sama…" I said as I walked for the door. I opened it when I heard Kakashi call out a 'hey.' I turned and he said, "You can call me Kakashi-sama if you want…" he said, smiling behind his mask. I sighed and walked out to door and into the hallway.

As I left the Hokage tower, I thought… Kakashi-sama… I bet he's not used to that… but its still catchy…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I walked on the wood floor and opened the door to my room. I walked in and unclothed myself. I approached my bed and got under the covers… I have way too many of those that… wait a minute…

I have got an ingenious idea!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

(1)Fuuton: Tatsu no Kokyuu – Custom Jutsu of my own design. Used by Airomaru. It means "Wind Release: Severing Breath"

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

A/N: Hey, New chapter. It was late due to school stuff, mild writer's block, and, of course, good old fashioned procrastination. I finally all my stuff figured out, school, writer's block, and not so much of procrastinating anymore, so I certainly hope that I might be able to release chapter three sooner than I did this one…Chapter 3 will also be better, because I feel that this chapter was rushed…
