After that we had regular classes. Unfortunately all of them were pointless after the first day. I could quote word for word the books or scrolls after reading it only once. One of the teachers for history doubted me so I told him the page number, the paragraph, and the lines of my answer. He was beyond shocked to say the least.

The math teacher gave up after I started to explain the mathematics of quantum mechanics theories that I had studied for fun in my past life.

I basically had free time for the rest of the next three years. This of course caused a massive shock to the rest of the class and they all started calling me prince. This time it wasn't because of me being a Senju, but was instead referring to my royal status within the school.

The library for students in the first three years wasn't very big and it only took me a month to read through it all.

I decided to take up some of the classes that normally aren't taken by boys. Namely the kunoichi classes. Flower arrangement, dancing, customs, and any number of other skills needed to make a female ninja as skilled as possible for anything ranging from infiltration to assassination. I confused the teachers when I showed up at their classes, but because there wasn't any rule stating I couldn't attend their classes I was allowed to stay.

It was rather eye opening for the teachers. Especially when I began on the musical instruments. I had invested a lot of my time in my past life learning every instrument in existence and could play all of them at the level of a professional. Having the dexterity of a ninja made my playing even better and caused the whole class to stop and listen to me play.

This of course caused me to become one of the most wanted guys in school. I had girls from even the last year in school trying to get me to go on walks with them after school. I told them that while I didn't mind being friends with all of them that I just wanted to live a peaceful school life and make a lot of friends.

This made me into a guy who was considered as almost untouchable. If any girl tried to move in on me they would have to deal with the glares of all the other girls in the school and the girls all felt that I should be protected as if I was a precious object. The guys who would normally get jealous of having the girls fawn over me instead had respect for me since I was never arrogant and treated them well. I would often help them and was even kind to the ones who would snap at me. The teachers thought of me the same as if I was their own child and would easily let me do whatever I wanted since I had already shown I could ace any of the theoretical knowledge that we had access to.

The only place that had girls acting differently was in my class since Sauske was there. He didn't care about romance in the least and was rather cold to girls while I was friendly to them and told them I just wanted to enjoy being with them as friends. It caused a split between those who liked the cold personality or the warm personality.

I spent my time doing whatever I wanted, but I had repeatedly turned down skipping grades. It confused the teachers until I told them that by skipping grades it would lower my chances of building strong bonds and relationships with my classmates since the older students would view me as a little brother and it would be almost impossible to be truly seen as an equal even if I was treated well. They let it go after that and let me do my own thing.

I had taken to sparring with anyone in the class who wanted to as well as some of the other classes as well. Naruto, Kiba, Sauske and a few others in the class would challenge me almost on the regular. Sometimes they would group up to try and defeat me, not that it ever worked since I was a lot faster than any of them could catch up to.

Naruto had even managed to become friends with some of the others while they made plans to defeat me.

Sauske would sometimes meet me after school for some sparring and occasionally Shikamaru and Choji would come with.

I had once challenged Shikamaru to a game of shogi and had lost the first four times. Shikamaru was pretty happy about that, but after the fourth loss I won and I had only lost one game since then. It frustrated him to no end. He eventually taught me go and once again I lost a few times before I started winning. Shikamaru took it as a personal challenge to defeat me in his favorite games since the only person who had beat him at those was his father.

I got Choji to start fighting properly and doing some proper training. He was a very gentle guy who would rather sit in the shade eating snacks and didn't want to hurt anyone. He did however want to be a ninja like the rest of his family. I told him that hurting others might happen, but if they get hurt now when we are learning in a safe place it might help to keep them from being hurt when they were out in the actual dangerous places. He seemed to understand that pretty well and quit holding back.

Iruka was surprised when Choji went and reached the ranking right under Naruto in the Taijutsu spars. However once Choji explained what I had told him Iruka felt incredibly proud and told Choji he was proud of how Choji wanted to protect and help his classmates. Choji had a big smile for the next week straight.

Towards the end of the third year in school when we were all eight to nine years old there was a huge situation that happened. The Uchia massacre. School was canceled for a week and every leaf shinobi of jonin level or higher was all called to a meeting by the hokage.

The only two survivors was Itachi and Sauske. Itachi was labeled as an S class criminal missing nin and was put on a kill on sight order while the investigation began. Tsunade came back the next day and ended up spending the next few days drunk. Shizune told me that Tsunade had seen so many corpses and so much blood that it was causing her to have flashbacks of the last war.

I went and gave Tsunade a hug which caused her to freeze up for a moment before hugging me back and crying before crying herself to sleep. I carried her to her room and put her to bed while Shizune just stood to the side and smiled. The next day Tsunade was back to normal and went back to her job.

We had finally paid off half the debt Tsunade had gained. After almost six years and were slowly working on the rest. I could pay off another quarter of the debt using the money I had gained from selling things I made. Did you know that ornamental hairbrushes are very rare and a single one might be used for a persons entire lifetime as a family heirloom.

Sauske showed up one day after school after a month out and we had a quick spar before we laid down. Neither of us had said anything the entire time and I just waited since I knew Sauske was a pretty intense introvert.

Sauske eventually told me everything of what he remembered of that night from his perspective and ended it by asking me. "Do you think I'm weak?"

"Not really. You haven't been taught anything besides the basics and a few clan skills and you are already pretty far ahead of everyone else your age." I told him while looking at the sky.

"But you beat me easily over and over again." Sauske complained.

I just snorted. "You can't use me as a measuring stick, I'm powerful because of my bloodline being active since birth and my willingness to train hard even though my bloodline already makes me powerful instead of being lazy."

"As for you being weak, that is rather dumb, when you haven't even gotten the skills from your bloodline when trying to compare to someone who has. You are at the top of everyone your age Sauske and never doubt that you are already strong. You just need to continue growing and stay focused if you want to be more powerful."

"Thanks Alex." Sauske says quietly.

"From what you told me I think there is more to this then we know. Nobody goes from being perfectly normal and caring to killing everyone in a day. I also don't think that you should do what Itachi told you." I said looking at Sauske with a serious tone.

"What do you mean?" Sauske asks as he whips his head towards me.

"I mean to that something must have happened to cause him to kill your clan. Either he didn't have a choice or he was being controlled. If I had to guess though I would say it was the first one since if he was being controlled the person controlling him would have killed you as well."

"So what you are saying is that Itachi was forced to kill the clan by someone?" Sauske growled out while gritting his teeth.

"Yes, and more than likely he made a deal with whoever it was to let you survive. I believe that something was going to happen that would have ended with your whole clan dead with no survivors or possibly something even worse." I said to Sauske while watching him as he struggled with his emotions.

"Couldn't he have talked to someone about it, maybe talked to father or the hokage. Wasn't there anyone who could have helped him so this wouldn't have happened."

"There might have not been time or even worse he might have been being watched where if he even hinted at what was going to happen would have broke the deal. I don't know any details for sure and this is all conjecture, but I'm positive something was going on behind the scenes." I shook my head sadly as Sauske fell to his knees and started sobbing.

I moved over to Sauske and hugged him as he grabbed onto me and cried into my chest. we stayed like that for a while until Sauske was done crying and I looked him in the eyes and noticed that his sharingan had activated and I said. "I don't think you should become as strong as Itachi, you should become stronger, so that when you meet the person or people who made Itachi do this you can show them what it's like to have everything taken away from them."

Sauske nodded and then fell asleep in my arms.

"Well now, what am I supposed to do with you now?" I mumbled to myself.

Well, I don't think putting him back in the Uchia compound would be a good idea since staying in a place full of memories of dead people and murder when you are alone is a sure way to create a serial killer with the worst sort of brain disorders. I'll just take him back to my place for now since it isn't like I don't have room for him to stay there. Also fuck Danzo and Obito, those fuckers can go straight to the pits of hell where they belong if they think screwing up a kid this bad is okay.

I picked up Sauske and brought him to the mansion and put him in a bed before heading out and going to my room right across the hall.

The next morning I found Sauske sneaking around trying to stay hidden. I just went up the wall and hung from the roof while watching him.

Sauske seemed to have no idea where he was and was looking around like he expected to suddenly be attacked. He probably thought he had been kidnapped or something, so I of course did the right thing and cupped my mouth before yelling out. "Who goes there?" From right above Sauske's head causing him to drop to the ground in terror.

He looked up at me before realizing it was me before glaring at me as I looked down at him with a big grin.

"So Sauske, why you sneaking around like that?" I asked as if I didn't already know before dropping down next to him.

"Obviously I was trying to figure out where in the heck I was. Last thing I remember was talking to you last night and the last words you told me and then I must have fell asleep." Sauske said as he glared at me still a little mad about me scaring him.

"Yeah, you kind of did. I didn't think taking you back to your compound was a good idea so I took you back to my place." I nodded before starting to walk down the hall with Sauske following me.

"Why do you think that me staying at my clans compound is a bad idea?" Sauske asked curiously.

"Well for starters it is going to start affecting your mind and your jutsu if you keep staying there." I said seriously.

"What?" Sauske asked in shock.

"Yeah, when people live in places where there is memories like the massacre it tends to make them more withdrawn and aggressive. It could make it so bad that you wouldn't even be able to do a proper escort or infiltration mission. It would also cause your jutsus to also become more aggressive and that could cause you to lose out on defensive jutsus because you would be to focused on the attack ones. Worst of all is that you might not even realize that it was happening to you until it was already to late." I told Sauske seriously.

"That is terrifying." Sauske said as he let out a small shudder. "But what am I supposed to do then? I can't just abandon my clans compound. Plus I don't really have anywhere else to go." Sauske said with a grimace.

"Well you can just stay here." I told him as I patted him on the shoulder. "We have a ton of rooms open here and I've been thinking about something lately. It isn't like your clan's compound is going anywhere. Plus if you are really worried about anything important disappearing from the compound we can go and grab it and store it in one of the spare bedrooms, that way it'll be close by. Not to mention that with the barriers set up nobody will be able to steal anything from the house."

"That sounds like a pretty good plan, but is it really okay? Don't you need to get permission from Tsunade first?" Sauske asked with a bit of hope mixed with worry.

We walked into the dining room to see Tsunade, Shizune, Tsun, Dere, and Tonton all sitting down and eating. There was two plates set out for Sauske and I that were full of food.

"Hey Tsunade." I began after sitting down. "Sauske here is going to be living with us from now on okay."

This of course caused Sauske to almost choke on the water he was drinking.

"Well, it's fine." Tsunade nodded. "I already know about your situation and I agree with Alex that it isn't a good idea for you to live in that compound by yourself. Like Alex said, if you need to grab the important things from there you can let us know and we'll do what we can to help you move it all."

"Thanks, I think?" Sauske said with some mild confusion.

"Um, I'm just wondering, but why are you okay with this?" He asked Tsunade who just snorted at him.

"Alex, Shizune, and me are all orphans in one way or another. Mostly we're just a bunch of odd pieces that don't exactly fit anywhere properly. I doubt that the village or the world in general would be able to deal with all of our oddities." Tsunade nodded before letting me take over explaining.

"You told me that you think you are weak, but you are honestly already very strong if compared to people our same age. The thing is, is that everyone here is ridiculously powerful and we all have things that make us special. I kind of figured that outside of the whole mental scarring that living at your clans compound alone would cause you, that you would want to be around strong people so that you might be able to pick up a few things here and there to make yourself stronger. Or maybe you could become strong in your own way."

"I guess that would be fine, and having stronger people to be around to help teach me if I have questions would definitely make it easier for me to become more powerful." Sauske nodded.

"So I'm going to skip school for a few days to get Sauske situated and show him around." I said to Tsunade who just waved me off.

"Okay Sauske, lets get a move on. I'll show you around." I told Sauske as I stood up after finishing my food.

Tsun and Dere got up and walked next to us as we left the dining room.

"This here is Dere." I pointed out to Sauske as he was looking at them curiously. "And this is Tsun. They are my partners like how the Inuzuka have their partners."

"I see." Sauske nodded. "So they are dogs, I was curious since I've never seen dogs with horns before."

"We aren't dogs kid." Dere told him. "We are proud demon wolves."

"Wait, say what now?" Sauske asked in shock as he stared at Dere. "Aren't demon wolves one of the high level chakra beasts that are supposedly so dangerous it requires a team of jonin to fight even one?"

"Yep." I nod to him. "Don't worry though, these two won't hurt you if you don't try to hurt anyone they care about."

"If you do, we will eat you." Tsun said with a low laugh.

"That really isn't that comforting." Sauske said while looking at her fangs.

"Don't worry about it. I wave off his concern. Here's the library." I tell him as we enter the library.

Sauske walks inside and then lets out a gasp in amazement. "This place is huge."

"Yeah, I figure if you trust me enough we could put any scrolls or books you have in here. You would of course be free to read anything you want in here, though I've already read everything and I have to say about half of it is either already proven to be wrong or is outright filler."

"You are probably the only person I actually do trust right now Alex." Sauske says while looking around. "After all if you wanted to steal any of the scrolls or books or anything really from my clan's compound you could have done it without me or anyone knowing with how chaotic it's been."

"True that." I say with a grin.

"Also what do you mean you've already read everything in here?" Sauske looks at me with shock once he thought of what I had said.

"I have a perfect memory. It's kind of like your sharingan only instead of being able to memorize everything chakra related I can memorize anything I see, not including chakra."

"So you remember everything you've ever seen or read?" Sauske asked curiously.

"Yep. So I can remember everything I've ever read, heard, or watched. If someone uses a Taijutsu that doesn't use chakra I can perfectly recall everything about the way they moved and can move my body in a perfect copy."

"From what I know of your clan's sharingan you can do the same by reading how the chakra is moving in a persons body and copy that, but while you can copy other peoples ninjutsu I can't, same as I can copy every book I read, but you can't."

"How do you know so much about sharingan?" Sauske asked curiously.

"My ancestor was Hashirama Senju which his family had been at war against the Uchia family for generations. My family is probably the only family without a sharingan who knows as much about them as your family does. Our families made this village together to stop the war and they shared a lot of information between each other."

"Wow, I never knew that." Sauske said in wonder.

"Yeah, the village and our families have a lot of mixed history. Though after the war Hashirama and Madara became friends and supported each other, even after Madara left for some reason it wasn't until he came back and attacked the village that Hashirama ended up fighting him to the death."

"Didn't that cause problems in the village?"

"Sort of. Madara had abandoned both the village and his clan, so while the Uchia clan was under suspicion it was dropped since he was acting on his own. Though nobody knows the reason why he decided to try and destroy the village that he himself had built."

"Well deep thoughts for later. In any case both our clans have a long history together and us living together isn't that big a jump considering the family friendship so you don't have to worry about that. Lets keep this tour going." I said as I lead him back out the door.

I showed Sauske around to all the places I had found including a waterfall that I enjoyed playing in. I would try to swim up it and had managed to get half way one time.
