Chapter 3: School and training

Obito pulled himself out of his new bed early in the morning, as an shinobi one got used to waking up at odd times, and also waking up early to train, and make ones self stronger. Getting out of bed, Obito had to admit to himself that it was nice to live a bit more upscale then he was use to. The bed had to be one of the most comfortable he had ever been in his life. Actually the whole house was amazing, he had not lived in a house near this nice, since he was actually a member of the Uchiha clan. He could remember the time right after he was forced out of the clan, when he had to stay in the most modest of housing arrangements. If it was just him, there would have been by far to much room for him in the house. It was not just him anymore though, he had to keep a eye on a kid, and help raise him. Obito laughed at that thought, he was now responsible for a kid. How Kakashi had to be watching down at him this moment, laughing at the situation now. Obito quickly got ready, and made his way down to the kitchen. Once he got there he started to make breakfast. Obito had been forced to learn how to cook on his many mission, not to say he was the best cook, but he did know what he was doing. As he finished up his breakfast, he was thinking about waking up Sasuke. The second he thought about the idea, he noticed the young Uchiha walking into the kitchen, already prepared for the day ahead of him.

"Good morning Sasuke, you can have as much food as you want," Obito asked politely

"Yeah, sure," Sasuke replied taking a plate and sitting down.

Obito did like wise, and sat down across from Sasuke. He noticed that the boy seemed just as focused as he had the day before. The boy would more then likely have at least a small chip on his shoulder for a good while. He just hoped that he could help the boy in anyway he could, and help him have somewhat of a normal life.

"So, Obito, will you have time to work with me after I get back from school," Sasuke asked breaking the silence around the meal.

"Of course, I don't think I will have a mission for a bit," Obito replied with a nod, "We can work as soon as you get out of school today."

"Fine, that will be good," Sasuke answered, "Also thank you for the breakfast. I am ready to head to the academy. I am sure you have some paperwork there to correct."

"Yeah, correct, well then lets get going."

The walk to the Academy was a pretty short one given everything, but it actually felt like it was quite a bit longer then he knew it was. Maybe it was because he had not been to the academy in years. As he got close to the building he could tell, that not that much had changed over the years. It pretty much looked exactly the same as he remembered. Obito waved to Sasuke who head towards his own class as soon as they walked into the building. Obito headed to the office, which he had never been to except for when he was in trouble. Obito opened the door to notice a young man sitting behind one of the desk. The young black haired young man already had a group of papers sitting in front of him.

"Ah, you must be Obito Uchiha, we heard about the situation," the young man said with a smile, "I have already gotten the paperwork ready for you to work on."

Obito say down and looked over the large amount of papers he had to sign. Obito took a deep breath, this was going to take a long time, and would have been a great punishment for him when he was younger. Obito, only hoped that this would not take forever to finish.

In a classroom on the other side of the building, Sasuke sat quietly listening to a long lecture by one of their teachers. Sasuke had been trained from almost his birth to be a shinobi. He had been shown everything from his clan, the best clan in Konoha. He would be a great shinobi, it was his destiny to be one. This lesson was really boring because of that, the teacher kept repeating everything that was said, and he knew that after the first time, it was pointless except for the idiots that would more then likely not make it as a shinobi anyway. Sasuke thus floated in and out of attention, but fake that he was paying attention the whole time, and well enough, so the teacher did know that he was not.

There were two other things which were extremely annoying about his class. The first was, Naruto, that kid had to be the most annoying kid he had every thought about hearing. The kid could not be quiet for a single second, and was always talking. He was all talk too, from what he saw of his skill, it was totally lacking in every possible way. In fact, Sasuke wondered just how the heck, the kid kept himself in school, without being kicked out. The other annoyance of the class was the girls. There were a number of girls would just glared at him all day long, they were annoying, they would hardly in some cases pay attention to the lesson going on, but they had plenty of time to pay attention to his every little movement. He wondered how bad this could get if, girls were already doing this. This could someday become a bigger annoyance then Naruto. The only thing that kept him from getting angry at the annoyances this day, was the fact, that he was going to train with his new guardian. He wondered what this Uchiha was like, and what he could show him, and teach him. He had used some time to look up a bit of information on him during lunch. He was amazed to find that he was actually a jounin, and of course he was a Uchiha on top of that. That meant he had to be a very good shinobi, and would have plenty to show him. Still other then the fighting skill, he knew almost nothing about him, except he seemed decently nice, and was not annoying. Eventally the day did come to an end, and Sasuke was out of the school moving faster then anyone had ever seen Sasuke move.

Obito was waiting on the step of his house, he knew when Sasuke would be out, and he was sure he was going to be back to the place quickly. Obito smiled when he noticed Sasuke moving quickly down the street.

"So, you ready?" Obito asked Sasuke who slowed down quickly before stopping nearby.

"Of course, I am, I am an Uchiha," Sasuke said, "Just lead the way to the training area."

The two of them went out to one of the wooded training areas. Obito, wanted to see if Sasuke had already learned great chakra control. Sasuke wondered why they choose this area, trying to figure out what the training would be.

"Alright, Sasuke, I am going to want to climb up this tree," Obito said looking at the young Uchiha.

"Sure fine," Sasuke replied starting to jump up to grab a tree branch.

"No! Not like that," Obito said shaking his head, "I want you to walk up the tree."

Sasuke looked at him puzzled, which was something Obito picked up on. Obito then walked right up the tree slowly taking step after step.

Obito turned to see Sasuke, "This training teaches chakra control, you must use the perfect amount of chakra in your feet to be able to climb this tree. If you put to much chakra into your feet, or to little you can't achieve your goal. Once you master this training, we can move on to the next training."

"Fine, I will have this taken care of in no time."

Obito watched Sasuke try to walk up the tree, and only get a few feet up the tree. He smiled as he watched a determined young Uchiha try again, and get a tad bit higher up the tree. He then tried again and again, not giving up, working just as hard every single time. Obito was surprised at the determination that the boy showed after failing so many time. It said a lot about the kid, and how much potential he had.

"Hey, Sasuke, we need to head in, you still have school tomorrow," Obito said looking across at Sasuke.

"No, let me stay out here, I have to get this down, I know I can, just let me get this done tonight," Sasuke replied.

Obito thought about it for a second, and knew what would be the best move in this situation.

"Yeah, fine go right ahead, just finish it, your pressing to much right now, make sure you keep your balance, and stay calm as you make your way up the tree."

Sasuke nodded, and tried a couple of more time, each time getting a bit closer to the top of the tree. Then it happened, Sasuke was at the top of the tree, he had made his way up the whole length of the tree. He was almost out of chakra, and jumped down the tree. Sasuke had done what he was asked, and he had learned that he would learn much more from Obito then he would at school. Having this Uchiha to learn from would be a great blessing.

A/N- I hope you liked this chapter, I have not decided what I am going to do with teams yet, of course Kakashi won't be a team leader. If you have thoughts about that or anything else, say so in the review. Thanks for reading.
