//TIME//SKIP//3//YEARS//

The war is over. 

It was weird because I was born during the war. There were more people, everything felt lighter, it was an entirely different mood. It was a little scary when my mom had to go into the battlefield, but she survived with little injury. 

There was a whole big funeral and the 3rd hokage wanted to step down. There was a lot going down. When the hokage candidates started to come in, that's when the real fun happened. 

Fugaku was immediately told he was not becoming hokage and that pissed off the Uchiha clan. I heard Orochimaru tried but was told no by the former 3rd hokage, and last but not least Minato Namikaze. He gained a lot of popularity from the war and everyone thought he was the best candidate for the 4th hokage. 

So he became the 4th hokage. 

It's been a week since then, I never got to pay my respects to the dead so I was at the cemetery. I went to the big plak for all the soldiers that died and placed Gladiolus on them. Hearing someone come up behind me, I moved out of the way to let them pass. Seeing black hair and pale skin, I instantly recognized him. 

"Hey are you Sannin Orochimaru?" I asked, I already knew but I'm supposed to be a 3 year old kid. 

He turned around to look at me, his eyes were a bit unsettling, but it quickly went away. "Yes I am. What a smart child you are." he stated. Getting a good look at him he did seem younger than when og Naruto started. But that made since, since that is in more than a decade. "You look happy for someone who just lost the 4th hokage seat" I said innocently, 'this is the only chance I will get to push his buttons'. 

I saw his little smile fauter for a second before a new one came on his face. "I'm not happy child, as you say I lost the hokage seat" he said, he sounded a little creepy at the end. 

I saw he was giving a white rose for the tomb so I tried to give the conversation a little more feel to it. "Why are you putting a white rose on the tomb?" I asked. Looking a little surprised he answered with something I was surprised about. "Because that's what everyone puts on a tomb". 'He doesn't know about flowers' I thought with a creepy smile, 'something Orochimaru doesn't know, this is beautiful'. 

"White roses represent purity, basically the departed has gone on to heaven" I said, "that's what white roses mean, interesting" he smiled creepily at the flower before putting it on the tomb. 

"Then what flowers are you putting on it?" he asked. "Gladioli, they are symbolic of strength of character, earnestness and integrity". Humming he bent his knee to become closer to my height, "interesting, what is your name child" he asked. 

"Ishi, Ishi Uchiha" I smiled. 

"I guessed so, you have the stereotypical look" he said touching my hair. "Hey Mr Orochimaru, I have a question?" I have an interesting question for him. 

"What is it, child?" he questioned, "do you believe in heaven?" It was a weird question, but it was asked to Orochimaru. 

He only smiled "no Ishi, I do not believe in heaven" this is the first time he said my name. 

"But I do believe in hell" he stated, "oh" I tilted my head to the side. "Why is that?" I asked. "Hell is called living child, you will learn that" he said darkly, he stood up and said to me "see you Ishi Uchiha" before disappearing. 

'What the hell was that about' I thought. Everything quickly left my mind, as I went over to the last two tombs that were on my list. 

There was already someone there, it was Kakashi. 

Walking over he didn't pay anything mind to me as I sat beside him. I put the flowers on the tomb of Obito and Rin and just sat in silence with kakashi. Knowing I was probably going to get nothing out of him I got up and walked away. But then Kakashi started talking, "did you know them?". 

I turned to face him "no I didn't, that's what the flowers mean" I said. "What do the flowers mean?" he questioned. "They're hyacinths, the symbol of sorrow and regret" I started "what do you regret" he said sounding annoyed. 'Excuse you', "I regret not knowing a nice Uchiha and a nice girl" I said, I wasn't wrong they did seem like nice people. 

He seemed to be thinking about something before saying "go home kid, it's getting late". 'I feel like he was going to say something rude but I'll take that'. "Ok bye-bye" I waved going home. 'Damn I met two of the most powerful people in the world today'. 

/////TIME-SKIP-A-FEW-MONTHS-LATER//// 

'What to do, what to do' I thought, wanting to watch the world burn. 'I could paint the walls of the Uchiha clan or, or I could throw mud at EVERYTHING' I have my plan. My parents don't know it is me when I do this, actually no one knows they just know that someone is doing this and I'm gonna keep it that way. 

I have been practicing *cough *cough *tormenting people and working on my speed and agility. Plus chakra control. Wouldn't want to get caught hehe. I got out of the house via window and looked at the horizon 'about sunrise in 15 minutes' I noted 'more than enough time'. 

I ran to the middle of the Uchiha clan, mud buckets in hand and I started chucking mud everywhere. It was glorious. I ran around throwing mud and managed to get 5 minutes in before one of the patrol guards saw me. "Vandalism" he screamed as more came. "Shoot" I said as I ran out of there. 

I have about 5 after me, all of them ganging up on me. I saw the gates to the village and ran full speed hoping the building will aid in my escape. I dashed into an alleyway with them hot on my tail, I managed to get two off me with all the twists and turns in the alleyway. But I saw a dead end. "We have you now" one of they said "ha in your dreams" I said back. 

I darted straight for the wall and jumped up and across the walls in a zigzag motion and got over. I saw an open window and quickly and quiet got in and shut it. I looked out the window and saw the ninja go passed it. 

I waited a minute before relaxing. "Phew that was close, now who's home is this" I said out loud.

 "Mine" I heard a reply before a knife was pointing at me neck. 

"Now who are you and what are you doing in my house" the voice demand. "Wait wait wait chill out dude, well you have reason to be paranoid but I just want to go. Can I go now". I asked timidly after he didn't pull the knife away. "Well I saw those ninja after you, maybe I should bring you to the police" the voice said. 

"Minato what is going on" another voice female this time said, "Minato" I said shocked 'oh shit this isn't good' I thought scared shitless. "Kushina go back into your room please we have an intruder" Minato said calmly "Help please" I said to her "I did nothing wrong, misunderstanding, please pretty please" I pleaded. 

"Minato wait" Kushina said before turning on the lights. In front of the two adults was a sacred 4 year old all in black and muddy. "Oh you poor thing Minato can we at least hear her out? '' Kushina said "fine". 

"So um" I started "I'm an Uchiha and my mom isn't really treated nice there so I throw mud and other things at them, but no one knows it is me because I always get away. But this time I was almost caught when I saw an open window and you know the rest" I explained. 

"Ok then you're not a threat" Minato said, taking the knife off me. "Sorry about him, he is a little on edge," Kushina said sweetly. "It's ok I can see why" I said pointing to her belly because she is clearly pregnant. 

"Sweetie, what is your name? '' She asked, " Ishi," I said enthusiastically. "Hi Ishi I'm Kushina and that is my husband Minato" she said. "I know" I said "lord hokage" I bowed "sorry about that" I chuckled nervously. "It's fine just don't do that anymore, I could have hurt you or someone else could have." He said seriously but ended with a smile. I smiled too. 

"Wait Ishi I know you were doing a prank but what about your parents they should be worrie-" she didn't even get to finish that sentence because I gasp so hard. "*GASP* my parents omg I'm gonna dieeee" I dramatically said. "I need to go but can we talk again? '' I asked. 

"Sure. How about tomorrow?" Minato suggested "that would be amazing, is 4pm good?" Minato looked surprised "funny enough, I get go at 3pm so that would be perfect". "Nice" I smiled, "see you then" I said before I bolted home. 

I sneakily went through the clan grounds, careful not to get caught by anyone. There were a lot of patrol guards around. I got to my house and all the lights were still off. Nice. I went into my room, took off the clothes and went into bed hoping to get a few extra hours. 

'Aaa home at last' I relaxed, hopefully my parents didn't notice.' Wait' I quickly looked around my room 'this isn't some horror movie where someone is in my room right' I thought, I didn't see anyone so I went to sleep. 

//TIME//SKIP//4//HOURS//10//AM// 

I woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs and immediately went to the kitchen where my spot at the table had my food. I didn't even say anything as I devoured all of my food. "Thanks for the food" I said to my mom "it was delicious" my parents just chuckled "aw thanks hun I knew you need the energy after that early morning exercise" mom said "ya I've been practicing- wait what. Say that again". 

"We know what you do, Ishi" dad said "and honestly it is pretty funny that a bunch of adults can't catch a 4 year old but you shouldn't do that, you could get in trouble" "I know, I know I just don't like the way they treat you guys. 

Also I almost got in trouble, well I did almost die by lord hokage's hand haha" I said. "Wait seriously" dad said "what happened, like I know you are fine because you're alive and uninjured" he explained "well" I said "I kinda broke in his house, it is fine now. 

Actually we're going to talk tomorrow" "I'd say nice job but yikes" my mom laughed "well anyway back to business, we're all going to the Uchiha head household for lunch so prepare I'm friends with Mikato so that is why". 

"Sweet" I said "have fun at work dad. Try to get a small mission mom, everybody I'm out" I declared as I grabbed my bag and went into the forest to go train. 

We have a part of the forest that is just an open field. It's where my mom and I practice. I get to the field and stop. 

I take a moment to enjoy nature before I set everything down and do a quick stretch and get into my exercise. 

30 push-ups.

30 squats. 

20 sit-ups. 

20 dips. 

15 pull-ups. 

15 lunges. 

2 mile run through the forest. 

Proceeds to have a 2 minutes water break. 

30 seconds of kicking a tree as fast as I can on both legs than punching the tree the same way. 

30 seconds of burpees. 

30 seconds of jump squats. 

Then repeat everything twice. 

By the end I'm a panting and sweating mess, 'ha I probably almost went bald'. I grab my water bottle and start chugging it. 

My physical exercise is done but not my mental one. I take a seat and put what I'm supposed to do on the ground. "So, I got a 1000 piece puzzle, nah I will do that later. I got a dictionary to build vocabulary. Not bad." I said 'but I could also dance, build my senses and sing since I can't listen to music. 

These are all my mental exercises.' how are these mental exercises never mind. It is what it is. I will sing first, get it over with hopefully no one hears. 

But what should I sing? 

Maybe something happy. What was popular when I was alive in my world. Wait, I got it. Someone will definitely hear this, oh screw it. Here we go. 

"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep. Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Yeah, we'll be counting stars'' I begin to sing.

"I see this life, like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line And in my face is flashing signs Seek it out and ye shall find" 

"Oh, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told" 

"I feel something so right Doing the wrong thing And I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I couldn't lie, I couldn't lie, I couldn't lie Everything that kills me makes me feel alive" 

I was getting too into it but I still saw a guy looking at me sing. He must have liked it because he sat down and listened. 

"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars Yeah" 

"I feel your love and I feel it burn Down this river, every turn Hope is our four-letter word Make that money, watch it burn'' 

I then proceeded to look straight at them and continue to sing. 

"Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not the bold And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told" 

I ended the song and said "come on out I don't bite'' I smiled "but what if I did" the guy said. "Ya but I don't think you do because I don't sense any malice and you sound young, what's the worst you can do" I replied. "You'd be surprised. '' He said, coming out 

"My name's Shisui and you are", "Ishi '' I said "well sense you seem to have time on your hands do you want to practice with me". "Sure as you said I have time on my hands. What are you doing? '' he asked, "mental exercises, but we can do some free sparring if you want" I did puppy eye when I said this. 

"That's fine" was all he said before he picked up the 1000 piece puzzle and smiled. I nodded knowing what he wanted. We put about half of the puzzle together and it only took 45 minutes, which was all in a comfortable silence with the occasional questions on both sides. 

"Do you want to spar, I have to go soon? '' Shisui asked "ya I would love to. '' I know I probably won't be that much of a good partner though" I reminded him that I was younger than him and that it doesn't mean anything. 

"Don't go easy" I said as the spar began. Everything was silent, everything just stood still. And we just stared, no one ran, we just stood still waiting, watching and studying. "Aren't you going to attack first? '' Shisui said "scared" "no. Because the first to move will lose" I simply replied. 

"But I will go first this time, '' I said. I ran forward looking him in the eye, but aiming to get his leg. I used my speed to go in zig zags around him, before I aimed a punch to his stomach. 

He quickly blocked it and threw one of his own. I rapidly caught it by grabbing his wrist and clutched it hard. We were now in a struggling match to see who could overpower. He was stronger. I fell back taking him with me. 

I flipped him over my head so we both fell on our backs. We both got up and went on opposite sides. He came at me first, he was very fast. 

My eyes could keep up but my body couldn't. He almost kicked my shoulder just grazing. It hurt a little bit but it wasn't something I couldn't handle. 

I tried to trip him but he jumped in the air. I ran to where he was going and jumped. When he landed I tackled him and we both landed with a thud. Now we were now wrestling on the ground before he overwhelmed me and trapped me under him. 

"I win," he said with a smile. "Sure, sure you had the advantage. But I'll take the loss" I pouted but smiled. 

"Well it was nice, see you around" he said before flickering away. 'Wow so that's how a flicker looks cool' I thought, amazed. 

"I should probably go home and get ready, we are going to the main house hold for lunch". 

I got up and packed everything away before I did a light sprint home.
