My father headed off to the police station, as me and Suraisu-sensei made it to the backyard.

He looked at me up and down. "You're too pretty, you're not a princess but a shinobi, you really don't look the part nor do you possess the glint in your eyes and aura your brother does and your body.. it's weak, you're already small and have a lower height disadvantage as it is, I'll have you work on that as soon as possible." He spat.

I agreed, he was right. I'm small so it's best if I at least pack some power and force behind my potential combat, and the innocent persona will have to drop slowly around him, from what I evaluated he see's maturity as growth and I'll give him what he wants. "Yes Sensei."

He looked at me one last time. "From now on we'll meet at your lake since it's your first day your father wanted me to get 'acquainted' with you." He begrudgingly smirked at me. "Hold your feet six inches off the ground and hold without stopping, there will be a sign when I want you to switch to your next exercise, which is the push-ups do them without stopping."

I immediately dropped onto the ground. Holding my feet six inches off the ground.

"Oh and I'll be gone." Seeing the reaction I had on my face he continued. "I'm your sensei not you're damn nanny that's why you have your mother here boy." Then shunshining off the scene seemingly disappearing.

'Damn geezer I mean I didn't expect someone like Jiraiya but although I had someone more realistic in mind but he's what comes to mind when you think of grumpy old men, hating the world and especially younger generations.'

'All I need to do is listen to him and progress if he's telling me that he must want me to do it. I don't know how he's gonna alert me to switch exercises but I'll keep an eye out.'

….

'Okay realistically it's been about an hour now but felt like four and this immediately started to hurt my abs and ligaments in the legs. To ease the pain I grabbed a mouthful of my high collar and bit down, focusing on the calm and warm vitality surging through every ounce of my body, but I still kept an eye out for the signal to switch.'

….

It's now been a good two hours and a half, I've been sweating profusely due to this exercise and the accursed sun and here I was thinking nature was on my side. The ground burned my skin, muscles felt blazing hot and the strength in my legs felt like they were giving out so I clenched the hell out of my asscheeks.

I saw a dragonfly go across my face then a swooping SWOOSH sound came then a Large thump signified its end. Unable to process what the hell happened seconds later I realized something flew over my head. Slowly looking behind me I saw an arrow inches from my head! Damn BASTARD was he trying to kill me!! I just reincarnated for god's sake!

I then got up and immediately went into a push-up position. My legs felt weak but my arms were fine. I proceeded to use my force in my arms and used my legs to hold my body weight. I carried myself up and down over and over until I kept thinking this was really getting repetitive.

It became so repetitive the thought and word repetitive became repetitive then that's when I realized I lost all sanity.

….

'Doing what I did best to cool myself down in an intense situation I thought about my clear future relieving the moments in the Naruto anime. It brought me back to the beginning, how I felt and the emotions I felt watching the very first episode, Naruto being a menace to his society pranking any chance he had. The nostalgia hit me and it hit me hard. I started to wonder how life was back at home.'

'Due to my job I never felt free I had to suck up and use my acting skills to get on the good side of higher ranking officials and utilize that to establish my place as the militaries top prioritized scientist making breakthrough discoveries comparing that to my life now I felt free from the authority and constant ass kissing I had to do on the job because it was beneficial to me.'

'That's the type of slimeball I was, truly opportunistic, I was doing anything beneficial to me out placing anything, even my pride, humanity and what was right. Not saying I have sucked a higher ranking officer off for benefits but if it was beneficial enough I'll put my pride aside and get it done.'

'This was all because I didn't have anything or anyone to tell me right from wrong. I raised myself and a child can't raise themself if they don't know anything so just imagine how that turned out to be.'

'Growing up in a government run orphanage looking for prodigious talent, I came to realize I was smarter than the smartest of people amongst me it was a clear distinction between me and others I've always had high pride kinda like Sasuke that's why I related to him so much but the difference was I was just as opportunistic.'

'I never sat down and wondered why I didn't have parents because I didn't know what those were all I knew was the information provided and the books they had to 'manipulate' us. I was able to realize this and took what I felt right from these books.'

'I never saw an adult until I became one myself, only the kids who I grew up with, but they didn't like me, I felt superior to them so I didn't like them as well.'

'In the end I was able to come to terms with my character. That's when I made the largest accomplishments in life, soaring through the government rankings I felt truly alive, I found the anime and manga Naruto and became the definition of obsessed and I went from there, that all ended one night…'

My body covered in sweat drizzled down my face from the rapid up and down movements I was making getting in my eye stinging me.

"AAHHHH.. tcch damnit." I wiped the sweat from my face with my dirt covered hand, ignoring the pain and remembering my past. I mustered a greater will to go stronger and harder. A new chance this is what I had and I was reaching for the top and that's the end goal I'll reach no matter what!

I clenched my toes and pushed up and down as fast and with as much strength as I could, eventually my adrenaline wore off and with a steady pace I did more and more push-ups.

Eventually after an hour or two my pace lagged, all the strength left in my body exited. I laid flat on the ground, my body eventually gave out due to the exerted force and recoil of the workouts covered in sweat, breathing heavily.

….

~Suraisu's POV~

'The kid seemed as green as green could get reeking the smell of his mother's tit but the brat had a level of maturity within him as well as unwavering devotion to acquiring his goal of said strength.

'It wasn't something I've seen a lot even during this generation. I've been training pupils for going on a decade and I've run into multiple problems, people unwilling, spoiled brats and those who wanted it, but no one ever as devoted to their own development as the Uchiha brat.'

'He heeds to instruction automatically and he's a natural he's teachable and corresponds to the act of tough love, I couldn't make this up, how could a kid seem so perfect he had his flaws such as strength but he was willing to change that all on his own long before I showed up he reminds me of the tales of Madara my grandfather told me as a little boy and I wonder if that's him reincarnated.'

"Hmph, I can't help but admit I am

fond of the gaki which says a lot but the bastard isn't getting my full respect until I see him shoot his way through in strength levels if he stays teachable he could make it to Jōnin level around his early teens." He whispered begrudgingly under his breath making a grave realization of his pupils determination and potential.

Passing his sensei's test he shunshined to his location shooting a freezing water jutsu at him shocking the boy awake.

~Sasuke's POV~

A huge source of frost cold water awakened me out of my slumber. The water then forced an adrenaline awakening within me as I shot up wide awake as if I was under attack and my life depended on my survival.

"WAKE UP!" The old man yelled with his terrible grumpy attitude.

I wiped my eyes and saw his face. "HAI!"

He looked me up and down. "Your body needs to get used to working out. If you were smart you would continue doing this all day. Tomorrow at the crack of dawn I'll be waiting by the lake. If you're later by a second I'll whip adhering to instruction into your core so best listen well. We'll continue further body training from there. This is goodbye until then.." he looked at me with a shit eating grin one last time. "Brat." He snickered as he body flickered away.

'DAMN HIM! Listening to him abuse his authority over me was something I could take. I was really good at dealing with these types of people but these were the same people I hated most. Always abusing their damn authority over you! I hated it!'

'The first thing I'm doing when I surpass this relic of the past is kicking his ass into the ground, I know I shouldn't count the chicken before it hatches but he's definitely tasting my foot. I'll crush his remaining pride and he'll taste the heel of my boot.'

I cooled off as I took a thirty minute break. It was currently around mid afternoon mom cooked me and dad some lunch. I chowed down like I haven't eaten in years, after I finished and cleaned I headed back out.

'If I manage to continue with the art of Kaizen I'll surpass everyone in the academy, I wanted to incorporate multiple forms of strong taijutsu styles into my own creating a devastating and lethal fighting style.'

'The thought of the future that awaited me always hyped me up to go harder than ever, I wanted to see the fruit of my labor when I officially became genin and I couldn't wait until then to compare this version of Sasuke to the previous one I knew.'

'By that time I estimated my overall strength to be Tokubetsu Jōnin level but I wanted to be Jōnin level in every category by the time shippuden roles in.'

'If all goes well who knows. For now I would abuse everything permitted to me and access granted to become as strong as possible.'

With my mind set I cracked my hands and neck and prepared myself for the disastrous amount of strain my body was gonna go through.

My future was in my hands and I was so close to grabbing it!
