After the academy, I made my way to the Uchiha compound to start my training with Shisui.
While leaving the academy, I met up with Itachi and informed him of the new training situation, as I didn't want our first real interaction to be awkward.
"Hey, Itachi, do you train with Shisui often?" I questioned.
"Yes, every day," he replied in his usual monotone. 'Honestly, I understand that this guy was traumatized by death at the age of 4, but what's up with the emo act? That's Sasuke's thing.' I snorted inwardly.
(Don't get me wrong, I love Itachi as a character, but he saw death. (In a world fueled by war and death), he became cold and decided that he would do anything for peace, even going as far as to slaughter his own kin along with his lover, following orders from a few fossils that decided the situation they caused in the first place needed to be permanently erased from the planet. I just don't understand why people don't criticize him more.
After our mediocre conversation (if you could even call it that), we arrived in the Uchiha compound.
Since I was with Itachi at the time, I wasn't stopped like last time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(Finally onto the training)
After arriving at Shisui's house, we headed to one of the many training fields in the Uchiha compound.
"So, Tomo, how much do you know about chakra?" Shisui asked.
"While I don't know my nature, nor do I know any real jutsu outside of the three bodies technique, I can use chakra for basic things such as slight physical enhancement." I said, dejected,
"Well, it's a start at least," he said.
"We will start you off with the same thing all Uchiha must learn; it's not like it's a secret anyway." He said while chuckling.
"So to perform the fireball jutsu, you need to do the boar seal, then snake, and finally ram. After the seals, push chakra into the lungs and convert it into fire nature chakra. If you have a fire nature, then it should be easy, but if you don't, then it will be much harder," he explained.
After many attempts, I finally spat a fireball the size of a small tree, which is pretty impressive for my meager chakra reserves... Then I fainted from exhaustion.
'Man, I need to work on my reserves,' I thought before it all went black.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I wake up to the sight of Aoi placing a wet cloth on my head.
"Oh, I see you're up." She said between chuckles,
"Shisui-san dropped you off. Been training hard, I see." She laughed.
"Aoi-san, it's not funny," I complained.
"You're just too cute." After saying that, she laughed harder.
... I didn't even blush. After all, I'm going to be with my goddess in a few years; this Yamanaka girl is nothing compared to the silver-haired bombshell that is Kaguya Otsutsuki.

(Time skip 1 year)
It's time to apply for early graduation.
Over this past year Shisui drove me into the ground with training; of course, after the Hokage excuse was over, I simply said I enjoyed the training, and he let me continue.
I'm now at mid-chunin chakra, and I saved up money to get chakra paper. Surprisingly, I have 3 natures: water, earth, and wind, because, of course, the first jutsu I learn is the only element I can't use properly.
I stare up at the moon as I fantasize about the silky white hair and the seductive voice. I'm definitely down bad, but at least I'm loyal.
