Chapter 2- A Whole New World

"You are free to go, Sasuke-kun." The nurse said, unnecessarily helping him get up from his bed. It had been a day since he woke up in the body of an extremely unfortunate seven year old whose entire family was murdered by his older brother nonetheless. He felt pity and guilt for the child for both the massacre of his clan and also for him taking over his body. However the guilt was eased slightly by the fact that the child's entire life crumbled over a night.

'Perhaps it was better this way.' He thought as he stretched his body after getting up. While it was really unfortunate that he pretty much killed the boy, he found the notion of his death to be a fateful outcome. He can leave this horrible life that the boy had led and reunite with his parents. If he could reincarnate after his death, he was quite sure that there was some kind of after life for the young boy. After receiving the boy's memories, he really didn't want to know the mental state of the boy after learning that his brother murdered his family in cold blood along with showing him it using some strange ability that he was fascinated by.

"Is something wrong, Sasuke-kun?" The nurse asked him, seeing the boy in deep thought. Sasuke was brought out of his thoughts by the sudden question, leaving him to quickly answer with a shake of his head. After careful consideration, he decided to be silent for some time to avoid people from being suspicious.

The nurse smiled, walking with him out of the room before heading towards the reception. As he walked, Sasuke began to think about his new life. Perhaps it was out of pity and guilt that he decided to adopt the same goal as the boy.

'Don't worry Sasuke, I'll get revenge for you as an apology.' He thought with foreign determination that he didn't know that he had. Soon he was finally able to leave the hospital which immediately elated his mood after finally being free from the smell of hospitals that he was overly familiar with.

As he stepped outside, his eyes provided him a view that he couldn't help but stand in shock. The first thing that came to focus was the large faces that were carved on the mountain surrounding the village, reminding him of a particular monument from his previous life. He noticed that the village seemed to favour buildings having a colour palette consisting of green, yellow and orange with the occasional red.

"Is there something wrong?" The nurse asked, seeing the distant look plastered on his face. In her mind, she concluded that he must have been afraid after that night. "Don't worry. A jounin will be taking you to your new home. He should be arriving soon." She added, trying to give him a sense of security.

Her words led Sasuke to think about the conversation between the Third Hokage from the day before. While he could understand why they were moving him to a new apartment, there was still the missed opportunity of reading the books from the clan library that he could recall from the previous memories. What pleased him was the two weeks of rest that he received.

'I really need to organise my memories. They're such a mess.' He complained. A few seconds of waiting and he was greeted with the sight of an black haired man. The first thing that caught his eye was the dark circles under his eyes which he was also familiar with. He did attend highschool after all.

"I'm here to escort Sasuke Uchiha." The man said calmly.

He wished the cute nurse goodbye before finally heading towards his apartment. The walk was dull and boring like the history class that Hogwarts had. Not a single word escaped from their mouths leaving them to quietly walk the busy streets of Konoha. As Sasuke walked, he noticed that he was getting stared at by pretty much everyone which just annoyed him if he was being honest.

"That poor boy." One of the villagers whispered. More and more whispers began to form as Sasuke walked further towards his new apartment. He quickly shut off his emotions, stopping himself from being irritated from the constant stares and pitiful looks sent his way.

"Here you go. Hokage-sama wanted you to know that you can visit his office if you have any problems. It's in the red building over there." The man informed as he pointed at the large round red building near the monument with the Hokage's faces carved on it.

"Thanks for helping me." Sasuke said with gratitude.

"No problem, kid." He replied in the same tone before disappearing like some kind of ninja. Oh wait. He was a ninja in the first place. Within seconds he opened the door of his new apartment before quickly walking towards a black armchair stationed near the other side of the room.

'Finally.' He thought with relief as his body sank into the comfort of the soft armchair. He was still quite in disbelief at the fact that he had died of a stab wound and then woke as a seven year old boy in a world full of super powered ninjas who can shoot fireballs as if they were some kind of wizards.

'I wonder how the other earth is doing right now. What about my friends? Oh wait, I didn't have any.' Sasuke thought jokingly. He was an orphan and didn't have any friends in his previous life or at least he didn't think he did. Maybe he was fortunate because of that. At least no one would miss him now that he had died.

Instead of wasting time, he decided to make best use of his time by organising all the memories of the previous Sasuke, hoping to learn everything he knew about this whole new world. He still had something that he had to try out before he could organise all his new and old memories.

He got up from his chair and locked all the windows and doors before heading towards his bedroom. He plopped himself on the bed, relaxing his body as his mind also began relaxing. Within seconds, he slowly arrived back in his mindscape as he called it. His eyes feasted on the same familiar glowing orbs making the boy elated.

"Let's get working, shall we? I have two weeks to work as much as possible on this." Sasuke said with excitement. He wasn't 100 percent sure but he had a theory that he could change the entire structure of his mindscape.

"Hopefully this works."

… …

"Yes. I am the greatest!" Sasuke yelled. He stared at his accomplishment as he managed to organise most of the memories for easy quick access. It wasn't perfect but if it got the job done, he didn't mind. In front of him was a gigantic library spanning hundreds of metres across. It was arranged neatly with hundreds of shelves.

The orbs that he previously had were in the shape of books which he thought was kind of cool. However, the thing that excited him wasn't the neatly organised memories but the revolutionary idea that he had as he stared at a particular section in his mind. In the library there were multiple sections in which the memories were stored.

The "Orihime" section as he called it, held all the memories that he thought were unnecessary just like her in the show. Another section would be the one that he would have instant access to. Reading, writing, etc were among them along with helpful memories that he received from the young boy. The different ninja techniques were among them along with all the useful knowledge that he had of this world.

In the last few days of the two weeks, he worked on the memories of the seven year old. Quite a lot of it was not as useful so he immediately moved them to the "Orihime" section. The useful information was immediately sorted into the "priority" section. As he entered the mindscape more and more, his skills in entering improved along with the reduction of mental fatigue that the technique caused. His control over his mind and also his emotions got better and he started to notice that his thought processing was slightly faster.

"Now that we are almost done. Let's see what this Sharingan is all about." Sasuke said, oozing with curiosity. After organising one of the latest important memories, he came across the information about the infamous Sharingan.

"Since sharingan requires some kind of emotional event, shouldn't this kid have already unlocked it after that "night". Let's see if I'm right." Sasuke quickly exited his mindscape, hoping to check if he was right. From the information he had gathered, there was a high chance that the boy had already unlocked the sharingan after the mysterious technique that the elder brother used. Anger, fear and similar emotions were triggers that could unlock the Sharingan.

Once he got out of the mindscape, he immediately headed towards his bathroom. He walked to the mirror, standing in front of it with his attention towards his dark black eyes.

'I wonder if the emotions could be positive? From what I've gathered, the cases of unlocking the Sharingan were negative emotions.' Sasuke pondered. Not wanting to distract himself, he slowly circulated some chakra to his eyes after acquiring the knowledge from the other Sasuke's memories.

As his chakra was directed towards his eyes, the dark black eyes he had were immediately transformed into red. There was also a ring around his pupil with one tomoe stationed on it. In his opinion it looked kind of creepy but since he was a fan of the magical eyes trope, he decided to ignore it. The enhanced perception was cool in his opinion.

"That's pretty neat if I'm being honest." He said with a smile. The mirror displayed the bright red Sharingan for a minute before Sasuke couldn't maintain it any longer. After his Sharingan vanished, he quickly walked towards his bed, collapsing on it as the fatigue overtook him.

"Aaand I'm done for the day."
