2 Academy

They called him a prodigy.

he is the hope of the new generation.

The Ninja Academy is jokingly easy. he speaks only when spoken to, writes when needed, and participates only when necessary. All except for one person Mikoto Uchiha

The teachers are pleased.

he is a model student.

Finally, the elders are beginning to pay attention to him.

-----------------

The first – or rather second – time he meets his sister it is in rather undesirable circumstances.

The couple that adopted her, put her in the ninja academy in the very same class, Hokage told them the truth about them being the twins he felt the love for the first time, he swear that he will protect her smile and her innocence with his life, she felt the love about her only blood-related family as well

The academy pits him in a battle against his sister, they were only still children. Nanashi aims and hits and kicks and he dodges and sneaks past her guard with a kunai pressed to her neck.

"Yield." she does. The battle ends on a good note, even the genius of the generation, Minato namikaze and fugaku Uchiha lost to him, Nanashi boasted that he is her brother that day they formed a sibling rivalry she told him that she will defeat him one day

Nanashi tried, she tried extremely hard yet she could never beat fugaku, Minato let alone Ryo, they just kept going forward, and she....... no matter how hard she tried, could never catch up to them, the sibling rivalry turned into bitterness and after some months, it turned into despair

She didn't love him anymore, Nanashi hates him.

He tried, he tried extremely hard to save the relationship with his sister but the bonds they shared still got broken, that day his best friend or to say his only friend Mikoto stayed with him the entire day

He hates it, he hates the god, the village, his parents, his sister he hates them all, he curses at everyone, no one cared, no one listened

he is fond of his freedom and hates the shackles the village placed on him.

They train him. Feed him. Try to teach him loyalty to the village.

he listens.

The Hokage council is pleased.

----------------------------------------

In the academy, he has no friends.

he is always alone, at the back of the row

The children fear him and Nanashi spreading false rumors about him only heighten their fear. (she could not beat him, so she started bullying him)

This was the final year for Mikoto Uchiha, she was 11 and about to graduate

He confesses his feelings for her

She accepts, they were a couple, the only light that kept him alive and away from the darkness that always threatens to swallow him

--------------------------------

He promises her that he will graduate, and will come after her as soon as he can

He kept his promise

He gave the exams and passed with flying colors, he was happy to be able to catch up with Mikoto, but he never understood the pride she has, she gave everything she has to be able to pass at the age of 11, entire year earlier than she was supposed to, but he gave the exam just like that and he passed with the perfect score, she swore that she will surpass him, she never told him that, he never understand that

He passed the exam when he was 9, the entire village was in turmoil, he completed the academy in just 1 year, the feat never been performed before (Itachi did it in 11 months, Kakashi graduated at the mere age of 5)

Nanashi is jealous of his abilities and status. she hates him with a passion. he knows because she tells him so every day.

he finds himself caring nothing about the little sister he once swore to protect with his own life

From this day on he is a shinobi of Konoha.

This was supposed to be the beginning of a new life for him, he swore he will not make a mistake as he did in the academy or in the orphanage, he decided that he will have friends, the friends for life with his teammates
