4 Pulling Strings

"So you understand?... When it's your turn you will come to the front and state your name and dream... We will also be going from left to right starting with the front row." A deep voice spoke out in a somewhat silent atmosphere, almost as if he was talking to himself.

"Are you guys clear"

"Yes sir," a few kids in the classroom muttered under their breath

"I said are we clear!" his tone completely changed into a louder one, making it a voice worth of demanding respect which made everyone awake.

"Yes Sir!" The whole classroom is now filled with the high-pitched tone of kids.

POV MC

Three people sat at each table in this classroom, all facing directly towards the front where the teacher was currently standing. There were also three tables in each row, and there were only 3, so altogether, there were 27 kids as each row had nine students.

As the row goes higher, the higher the elevation of each table this is so back of the classroom can equally see what's in front as the first row and second row, from where I was sitting there was an entire row of windows two tables away from me to the far left side.

On my right and behind me were posters and other stuff that would be aesthetically pleasing for people's eyes. This side also had two doors, one at the back, right behind the third row, and another on the right corner further than the first row.

(I know my description is not the best but check out the link in the comments, so you know what I'm talking about)

The person that was coming up to the front first was a female I recognized at first glance. The bright red eyes and the wild hair coming down to her shoulders were no doubt Kurenai Yuhi.

As I saw her walking across the short distance from her desk to the front of the classroom, she nervously gazed at everyone as if she was figuring out what to say.

"My name is Kurenai of the Yuhi clan, my dream is to one day become the best genjutsu user this world has ever seen."

'Genjutsu huh, it is a tricky thing to learn even for me an Uchiha.'

Then after a few people, another significant person from the show came up, he looked exactly as in the show with his dark caramel skin, and an arrogant look was plastered all over him as he came down the steps.

Looking at everyone as if he was superior, he loudly and confidently said,

"My name is Asuma from the Sarutobi clan, and my dream is to become powerful just like my father."

Hmm, interesting he has got some feud with someone, but from the way he clenched his fists tightly when saying, father, it's probably him. Asuma could be used to my advantage indefinitely.

Next, it was my turn... As I was walking down the steps, I could feel the stares of everyone behind me, but I kept taking normal steps down the stairs with my hands in my pockets.

With my back turned towards the classroom, I mustered the most polite smile I could and turned around with a calm expression.

"My name is Yokuma from the Uchiha clan, my dream is to become the most powerful Hokage and protect the village," He said in a respectful and righteous tone.

"Shut up! do you wanna get beaten up after last period you goody two shoe little shit" Asuma screamed out these words after he said the word Hokage in pure spite and anger.

"What did you just say about my friend, you want some of this!" Obito jumped up and pointed his finger, and yelled from the far right corner of the third row.

Soon as Obito said this, Asuma sprinted across the room, pushing the chairs but soon felt like he fell into a wall.

Looking up, Asuma saw a man towering above him with a serious look in his eye as he then took a gulp and ran back to his seat. After the teacher flicked back, he then said in a compulsive tone, "Obito, Asuma detention."

They just quickly nodded, but Asuma's head vein was popping out as he turned back to look at Obito and cracked his knuckles, but Obito just stuck his tongue and middle finger up.

While I saw all of this, I just walked towards my chair, sat down, and tucked it in as I was wearing that righteous expression with my innocent eyes. I have made the first move, just a few more strings pulled, and it will be checkmate.

Now I have got the Hokage's son who has daddy issues and a fragile heart, Obito better not disappoint, or I will have to do it myself.

Just for a split second, Yokuma's eyes changed from bright and innocent to vicious and hostile.

After that, a few more people came up, such as the Ino-Chika-Chow trio and some other hot-headed clan kids that we wish for something they couldn't reach.

POV END

In a small room somewhere, a man was comfortably sitting down on his chair smoking a pipe while looking at a strange ball on his desk with his eyebrows raised.

After looking at it for a while, he looked at the 27 papers stacked upon each other in three separate piles. After placing his hand on it and rummaging through the first pile, he placed his hand on a piece of paper named Yokuma Uchiha.

"Yokuma Uchiha, parents Hiroto and Riko Uchiha"

"Father married into the Uchiha family and serving as a Chunin having doing average in the academy and a shinobi to."

"His mother used to score top marks in written tests but never really had the talent of an Uchiha, probably because two generations of their blood has been diluted with half Uchiha."

"Half Uchiha Riko marrying a non-Uchiha Hiroto, what does that make Yokuma, its a pity because he looked like he could be a good tool for me in the future"

Later on that afternoon

Two people could be seen walking together in the corridor of the academy; one had a boring look with a mask on his face while the other was walking with his hands in pockets with a neutral expression.

"Wait for me!" A boy in a green jumpsuit yelled, sounding a bit out of breath.

"We are going home anyway," Kakashi said while rolling his eyes.

As they were walking, they heard loud panting noises as well as some giggling around the corner. This lit up a curious expression on Kakashi's and Guy's faces, but Yokuma just hurried past them with a smirk on his face.

"HAHAHA, I can't believe we done that" A boy in orange and blue-themed clothing cackled like a madman while trying to cover his mouth.

"I know I know did you see his face PffHAHA" Another boy who had caramel skin and a rough face did the same until...

"Weren't you two just about to have a tussle just a while back?" You asked with a genuinely confused face.

Startled, they both jumped with horror, but when they both saw it was Yokuma, they looked at each other and then laughed with absolute no control.

"I thought it wa-"

"Sensei right, you should have seen the look on your face Obito."

"You should have seen you-"

"Ok ok can both of you just shut your mouth for a second because your annoying" Kakashi went straight to the point and exclaimed while frowning.

After that, they both scratched their heads sheepishly with a large grin on their face, while Yokuma had one too at the same time.

'Checkmate,' thought Yokuma.

Guy just put his thumbs up a both of them and started walking off while the rest caught up.

-

As all five of them just walked out of the academy grounds, Yokuma just looked at his watch, and then Obito, who was at the left of him as he was at the end,

"Hey guys I got something stuck in my shoe just wait up a sec."

They all just glimpsed at him and stopped 7 feet away, carrying on their chat from before,

"54 seconds on the right side 1 step two step three" Yokuma just carried on counting till 53 and then put his shoe back on after he threw the rock.

"Took you long enough," Kakashi muttered.

Suddenly a girl walked past on the right side of Yokuma. She had short light brown hair as well as two purple marks on each side of her cheek. Seeing her would make people feel happy and as well as warmth.

As soon as she walked past, Yoku quickly squeezed in on the right side between Asuma and Obito. Asuma tried stopping Yokuma but accidentally.....

"THUD"

Obito lost his balance and barged into Rin, making his head fall flat on hers.

"Oww," Came a high-pitched shriek that would make people close their ears.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't mean it," He said in a very apologetic voice while pulling her up with his hands.

But as soon as she turned around and said the words "It's ok" with one eyelid shut, wincing from the pain and rubbing her head... Obito shut down.... and soon she did too.

Obito's eyes quickly switched from pity to becoming infatuated, which she didn't notice considering how much in pain she was.

His face started to turn red as he didn't know what to say, but Kakashi just spoke.

"Come on Obito we are running late you know."

Rin suddenly looked up at that voice and soon started burning up seeing her crush right in front of her.

Obito saw this, and he clenched his fists "Every time," muttering under his breath.

"N-nice to m-meet y-yo-" Looking down where Kakashi was standing.

But Obito's disheartened face turned into one that had an idea,

"Hey wanna come to hang with me sometime Kakashi will be there too," He exclaimed with an expression full of expectation.

After saying Kakashi, she moved her head back and forth like a ragdoll, repeatedly getting jabs. Yokum's face turned into a fully morphed grin that went from ear to ear like he expected this to happen. He watched from the sidelines to empty his "shoe again."

MC POV

As I was near my house, I contemplated my decisions for the plot to stay in place. Obito, Kakashi, and Rin, not being in the same team I can deal with, develop their relationship before they even come together.

But Obito not being obsessed with her will change the whole timeline compromising my future which is a risk I will not be willing to take. Also, I still need to use Asuma as a way to get information about Hiruzen.

Even though I have done this, it's nowhere near enough. There is still a lot left to do in this world to go above and beyond. I tilted my head upwards with a gaze that pierced through this planet and into space.

This time I am not going to overlook anything I do or will do in the future; otherwise, it will be the same as in my previous life.

I am not talking about the person who killed me but the one who orchestrated it.
