Naruto : An Uchiha's Tale

After a couple weeks of practicing together, the trio had mastered the fireball, the body flicker along with Henge and Kunai throwing. Goro couldn't understand how they found it so easy but they did. Hideki seemed to be proficient in the body flicker, while Fugaku had an easier time with the fireball. Jin was excellent in all three jutsu, way ahead of the other two.

"At this point, I'll just let you train by yourselves so you are hereby dismissed. Jin, you stay here. We need to talk."

When Fugaku and Hideki had left the room, Goro looked at his nephew and said:

"Alright Jin, now I will help you train your Sharingan."

When Jin heard that he almost jumped in joy. The moment had finally come.

"As you may know, the Sharingan is a special ocular ability passed down in the Uchiha clan. Its usage falls under two categories: The eye of insight, and the eye of Hypnotism. Each has their own strengths. But before I tell you about them, you must know that the Sharingan you possess is only in its first stage, and will evolve as you use it, making you stronger."

Jin already knew all of that so he just replied with a firm nod.

"The eye of insight allows the user to see chakra, giving it color in order to distinguish it by its composition and source. It also grants clarity, allowing you to read lips, mimic subtle movements and even predict your opponent's actions before they happen."

Taking a sip of his tea, Goro continued.

"The eye of hypnotism grants you the special genjutsu of the Sharingan, which is normally used through eye contact with your opponent when it is activated. It can unleash powerful, immersive genjutsu, but it is easier and more efficient in a battle to mess with little things in the opponent's mind without them realizing it and thus turn the battle into your favor."

"I will now teach you the basics and how to use your eyes to their full potential until you enroll in the academy next year."

A year passed slowly, and the academy's admission day had arrived. Young Konoha ninjas made their way along with their parents to the doors of the academy, where they were dropped off.

Jin arrived with Hanami, Fugaku, Hideki, Ayaka, and Goro. Hanami had somewhat recovered during the past year, but she still looked a bit downcast. Being the great mother she was though, she never really showed that side of her to Jin since the day of the funeral, which was commendable. Jin had a lot of respect for his mother.

Over the past twelve months, Jin trained harder than ever and had managed to apply yin chakra to his genjutsu, which he had become a master of, being able to control chakra flows in animals as well as humans. This was no easy feat since animals had a completely different chakra system.

He wasn't yet able to infuse his eyes directly with Yin chakra for some reason, but it worked amazingly on his genjutsu, almost doubling its power. After so much usage, his eyes now had two commas, which shined with an ominous light every time he activated them.

"This is a new beginning for you guys, and my expectations are extremely high for the three of you, you are my students, and I am extremely proud of you. Now go and show the other clans what the Uchiha are made of."

Goro gave an inspirational speech while looking at the three youths with tender eyes.

"Hai Sensei!"

the three of them answered at the same time. the looked at each other and laughed. having gotten really close during the past year. Even Fugaku started to slowly acknowledge the two of them, Which was incredible.

After saying goodbye to their families, they ran into the academy and sat next to each other on the multiple chairs that were laying in front of the podium along with the rest of this year's new student batch.

When everyone was sitting down, a young Sarutobi, the Hokage, came out and gave the kids a speech on the will of fire. Hiruzen was very good at this, seeing as all the kids were more pumped than ever, including Jin.

"Now we will announce which classes you will be in! Class A: Shiki Aburame, Inji Yamanaka...."

As the principal was calling out the names for class A, Jin and his cousins looked at each other, nervous and hoping they would be together. And as luck would have it, the Principal's next words made them wild with joy.

"Jin Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha, Hideki Uchiha, Mikoto Uchiha..."

As the principal continued, Jin looked at his two cousins that were fist bumping each other while he felt like that last name rang a bell... Just then, he realized, this was Sasuke's mother! He always wanted to know how Fugaku and her ended up falling for each other, so this was the perfect opportunity to poke fun at him.

"Hey Fugaku, I heard a girl from our clan will be joining our class. Since you're the young head of the clan, you probably already know her.. is she cute?"

Jin smirked and giggled as Hideki looked at Fugaku with eyes that were asking for his opinion. When Fugaku heard about Mikoto being in his class he was happy and let it show for on split second. he couldn't believe that Jin had seen through him in that time, so he played it cool.

"Oh really, I hadn't noticed... Mikoto huh? I did meet her, she has a lot of talent in speed."

Jin looked at Fugaku with disbelieving eyes to which he responded to with a cold harrumph and looked away.

Really, teasing Fugaku was the best thing ever.

—————————————————————

The first few weeks at the academy went by swiftly, with the teachers being impressed by the trio's talents. Getting top marks in every test and decimating their opponents in sparring. They had become the top three rookies in no time.

Especially a certain Jin Uchiha, whose name resounded through all of Konoha. As a five year old that possessed strong genjutsu along with a two comma Sharingan, the higher-ups in Konoha were already alerted, especially Danzo.
