Ch 16

A/n So one of my reader's commented on a chapter, telling me what the Naruto currency was (thank you Red_Helix75). And I did some research and couldn't find how to exactly find the accurate money. So I did it on my own. I'm going to show you how I did, just so everyone understands. This is how it goes:1 ryo = 10 yen = 9 centsSo with that logic and google this is what I found:$1 = 11 ryo$5 = 54$10 = 108$50 = 540$100 = 1081Have fun with that info Btw this is with my country's currency in dollars-Kay

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My relationship with Itachi has been different ever since that day. I kept asking myself "why me, why did he come to me?". I was so confused and honoured.

He had so many people to go to, his mom, his dad, his brother, and even Shisui. But then I remembered the predicament he is in, he's holding so much weight on his shoulders.

He can't go to his parents, especially his Dad because they expect so much from him. He obviously can't go to Sasuke because he is barely talking, and Shisui. I actually don't know the reason he didn't go to him but still, it's probably something like his family's reasons.

I was still so touched he came to me to calm down. Our relationship has gotten to a point where we were open with each other. He said what was on his mind, I said what was on mine.

And it sucked.

"You should eat more healthily, you don't want to get sick." I groaned in response "I got it mom" I said sarcastically.

"I'm serious, if you want to get rid of your baby fat, also known as chipmunk cheeks then you need to stop eating cake" I gave him a sly smile and I nearly tackled him.

"Says the one who still has his own chipmunk cheeks from eating so much Dango!" I was getting defensive, and so was he "Hey, don't bring my dango into this".

I groaned "then don't bring cake into this" we were head to head in our own world that we didn't even remember that Shisui was right beside us. He had an amused smile like he was watching a cliché comedy.

"Ya well, your hair is weird" both of us stopped even breathing when I said that. We both tried not to burst out laughing, and we were mostly failing.

"Ya, well your eyes are weird" Itachi joined, we both stifled a laugh while Shisui was on the floor not even trying. It was hilarious because we all had the same hair and eye colour.

I gasp dramatically "how dare you!" We both were snickering loudly "how dare I?! You're the one who said my hair is weird" Itachi matching my energy was the best thing I have ever seen.

"Well...Your mom." We all stopped laughing as the words I said sunk in, "my...mom?" Itachi was confused but amused. "Ya! Your mom" I tried to appear confident but I was screaming inside. 'Naruto characters don't know your mom jokes!'

Itachi and Shisui started laughing. While laughing so hard Itachi managed to say "Your dad", and I immediately started laughing with them.

"Your grandma" I laughed out, "your great grandma" Shisui started coughing from laughing so much which made everyone laugh harder.

Itachi and I locked eyes immediately and we both knew. "Your clan!" We both said together.

I had to hold my stomach because it hurt so much. Itachi just threw his head back against my couch and Shishi was on the ground coughing.

It took a long while but we finally calmed down. "That was terrible," Itachi said, finally catching his breath. "I know" I was laying on the couch like I just lost all my energy, which I did. "But it was funny" Shisui was the last one to stop laughing.

I know that because he still is. I sat up and we stayed in comfortable silence. At least I think it was, I felt awkward. "So..." Shisui started to say "How are your eyes Itachi?"

Now it was awkward.

"It's fine, it doesn't hurt" I curiously looked into Itachi's eyes. Maybe I was hoping that he would let me see them. "It seems you want to see my sharingan," Itachi said bluntly.

Yep, I stared too much.

"It's ok, you don't need to" I said, now feeling bad. He had only lost his friend a week ago, it's too soon. "It's fine, your childish curiosity is refreshing" I decided to ignore that.

"Sharingan" Itachi opened his eyes and his now red Sharingan eyes shone brightly. There was one tomoe, unlike mine which has two.

He watched my reaction as I curiously looked into his eyes. The Sharingan will always be beautiful, no matter how I look at it. That beautiful red glow is breathtaking.

"Thank you Itachi" I bow my head in respect and thanks, "It's alright, no need to bow" He nods his head in respect as well.

Shisui smiles from the side lines, enjoying the conversation. "It's time to go home you two, it's getting late".

I sigh but agree with him, a normal six year old should be asleep by this time. "I'm going to sleep here, I'll see you two next time" I say with a big smile.

Itachi gives a little smile and pinches my cheek "Just like Sasuke, you both have chipmunk cheeks".

I give Itachi the most uninterested, most unamused face I could make "really Itachi, really?" He just chuckled and left my cabin with Shisui "see you soon Ishi".

The moment the door was closed I bolted to my bathroom to see my own Sharingan. Staring at my eyes in front of a mirror I couldn't help but admire my appearance.

I was a cute kid. Big round black eyes. Short shiny black hair. Cute little nose. Big toothy grin. And adorable chubby cheeks- WAIT! No! I don't have chubby cheeks. Anyway, back to my eyes.

I close my eyes and push Chakra to them. I could feel the warmth of the chakra flowing through my body to my eyes. When I feel a tingly feeling I open them.

And there were two bright red eyes staring back at me.

But everything was also red. I had almost forgotten that using the Sharingan dyed the user's vision red. It was so cool.

I turned off my Sharingan, I don't want anything bad to happen. My mom wants me to work my body and grow my strength. The sharingan can accidently strain the body because it can't keep up with the movements.

And she doesn't want that to happen to me. And I don't want that to happen.

Not at all.

That reminds me, family history, I'm going to have to check that out.

My great grandma's time would be around when the Leaf was built. I smile like the Cheshire cat because I know I'm about to cause trouble that no one wants.

This wasn't in the original and it involves the Uchiha clan. My life is so in danger. Can't wait!

But first, SLEEP! I fell asleep quickly and woke up the next morning feeling refreshed.

I'm joking, I felt terrible.

Why is it, I go to sleep awake and wake up tired. That right there is sorcery.

Even though I was tired I had only one thing on my mind. FOOD! What are we feeling today? I don't know, maybe some ICHIRAKU RAMEN!

I have gone there a lot, they have the best ramen I've tasted.

Let's goooo.

I leave my little cabin and walk into the Uchiha clan grounds. I frowned, "hate this place" I mumbled. I haven't made many friends in the Uchiha clan, all the kids avoid me or try to bully me.

Which fails because I'm no pushover, and their spoiled brats. I walk with a neutral expression on my face, no one gives me the time of day anyway.

Just a few glares and a lot of indifferent glances. It's fine, they don't matter.

While I was walking, I remembered that there was this place that Sasuke used to go to, Uchiha Senbei is what it was called.

They sold rice crackers.

Walking to their shop, I could see that the owners were cleaning. I put on a nice smile and walked to them.

"Hello, could I get some senbei?" I ask, they were wearing big smiles when I came to them, but once they recognized me, their smiles were gone.

"Fine," the lady there said, rather reserved. The guy was still there and although his eyes were closed, I could tell he was staring daggers at me.

"Here" the lady came back, she tossed the bag at me. "108 ryo" the guy said, "but your sign says 54 ryo?" I argued.

What is with these people?

"For you, 108 ryo" the guy said again. "For me? What does that mean?"

I narrowed my eyes, what is wrong with all these people.

Nevermind, I'm not dealing with this. "Fine" I tossed the money to the lady, and walked away.

Tasting a senbei, I hummed acknowledging their cooking skills, but they were assholes so I'm not going there again.

I quickly ate it before tossing the bag into the garbage, my mood was worse but I know the ramen will make it better.

When I arrive at Ichiraku Ramen, I greet the guy with a smile. "Hey there, usual please" he nods his head with a smile "sure kid".

I turn to the side and see some Shinobi also eating. It seems that they noticed my stare because they turned to me, that's when I really recognized them.

It was Yuhi Kurenai and Sarutobi Asuma.

"Hello" I smile kindly, Kurenai smiles warmly "hey kid, how are you doing?" I softly chuckled, "I'm doing alright, how are you and your boyfriend?"

I smirk a little when they both blush, this ship sails across my eyes.

"She's not my girlfriend!" "He's not my boyfriend!"

They both exclaim at the same time. I rolled my eyes "sureee" I said, completely not believing them.

Asuma sighs, "You're a real handful kid," I rolled my eyes again "say that to my parents, they would never believe you".

I heard a chuckle come from behind me "I wouldn't be so sure". I scrunch my face up and slowly turn to the guy behind me "Kakashi".

I shake my head "How are you?" he just tilts his head slightly "I'm fine, how are you and the brats?"

Rephrase the question in his words, how are you from what those brats called you?

I nod my head with a small smile "I'm fine, I don't hold it against them". He nods his head, "that's good."

He nods his head to Asuma and Kurenai before leaving without saying goodbye.

"I'm guessing you're the kid Kakashi talked about" Asuma asked, I just shrugged. "I could be, you have to be more specific" I looked curiously at Asuma, did kakashi talk about me?

Asuma just chuckled softly "you're definitely the kid he talked about." I tilt my head in confusion "how do you know?"

Kurenai smiled at me "It was how he described you". I was starting to get annoyed. "How did he describe me?" They weren't answering the question!

"His exact words were 'an Uchiha brat that is the most mature, immature brat I've ever seen"

Asuma and Kurenai both start chuckling while I was contemplating if I should chase Kakashi down.

"Oh really?" I said slowly.

I'm vandalizing his house and stealing his dogs.

"He also said you have the mind of a Shinobi," I turn pink "did he really?"

He'll keep his dogs another day.

"He did," I smile warmly and eat my ramen with a smile on my face. I say my goodbyes to Asuma and Kurenai.

I most likely will not see Asuma for a while. He will leave the village in two years after having an argument with his father to become one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.

I can't intervene, it's a canon event.

When I get home it's quiet.

"They still aren't home" I sigh, I love my parents but I don't see them a lot. I have lots of time, normally I would love that.

But I want to spend time with them.

I lie down on my bed in my room and start writing ideas for my experiments on chakra.

Most experiments start with theory anyway. I have sealing books and an outsider's knowledge, that should count for something.

Let's start with...

The inner coil system, also known as the Chakra Pathway System or Chakra Network is a good place to start.

The chakra network is points within the body that channel chakra through it. There are 361 nodes called tenketsu that control the flow of chakra like circuit breakers. Tenketsu are also called pressure points.

Most shinobi, even experienced jōnin, are only able to release chakra from the tenketsu on their hands or feet in order to perform jutsu.

But, in theory, are we able to put a Jutsu into a seal where we can later release if not modify it.

There is the theory, and all I have to do is make it a reality. I chuckled before tossing my notebook on the ground before flopping on my bed.

I don't want to be alone...

What should I do to be with them and not be a nuisance? I know! I could help my dad out in the bakery.

But what will I do with my mom? I could get her to train me but that's not enough. She never seems to stay long when I do that.

What's something that she needs that I could give her?

A massage?

A massage!

It's sweet and it's useful. Guess I have to have a conversation with my parents.

Sheesh, finally.

A/n two chapters in a week. I'm surprised myself! Enjoy~
