6 Goals and Ambitions

Uchiha Complex

The elderly woman was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, beside her was a small boy wearing a black top and white shorts. The young boy had straight black hair that framed his face. His eyes were half-closed, and on his face hung a perpetual smile. He stood alongside the elderly woman and helped her cook.

"Gin you are such a good kid. You should've slept longer. Today is your and Obtio's first day at the academy. I wish you'd sleep a bit longer like that foolish boy." The Elderly woman sighed. 'Such a deligent boy.'

"It's fine grandma, I don't mind helping." Gin spoke, as he continued to wash the utensils. 'After five years, I feel like I'm finally making progress.'

"Alright then. If you really want to help, go wake up that stupid brother of yours." Sighed the Elderly woman.

Hearing this Gin let out a small chuckle just as an evil expression flickered across his face. "Alright."

Gin went to the bathroom and filled up a bucket full of water. He slowly proceeded towards Obito's room, tip-toeing so as to not wake him.

Gin could hear loud snores coming from under the blanket. He quickly dumped the entire bucket of water onto the bed.

"ahah ahsgdgsj sid Wha ij" Mumbling nonsense, a drenched Obito jolted awake from his deep sleep. His originally spiky black hair now stuck to his face. The expression of confusion mixed with anger and annoyance spread across his face. Gritting his teeth in anger she shouted. "GINNNN!!"

"Yes?" Gin asked Obito in confusion.

"Why the hell did you throw water on me?????" Obtio asked in rage, standing completely drenched on top of his bed.

"Ah, that.....I guess to wake you up." Gin's perpetual grin grew wider.

"You snake-eyed loser.." Obito jumped from his bed, and tried to use his momentum to tackle Gin.

Seeing this Gin quickly side-stepped to avoid the awkwardly falling Obito.

"Hehe...." Gin let out a chuckle looking at Obito who made a fool of himself. "Grandma asked you to get ready for the Academy."

Hearing the word Academy Obito lost his previous hostility. "My dream to become the hokage starts with the Academy." He quickly sprinted towards the washroom to get ready.

Gin walked towards Obito's wardrobe and picked out his cloths and laid them on the study table near his bed.

"Hokage....." Gin's thoughts and expressions were hard to read due to his perpetual smile and half-closed eyes.

....

Hokage's Office

"Lord Hokage, the Anbu stationed at the borders near Kumogakure and Kirigakure have sent in their reports. They are dealing with their own problems and most likely will not be participating this war." An anbu member wearing a fox spoke. "Lord Hokage I have the detailed report here."

The Anbu handed Hiruzen, who was leisurely smoking his pipe, a thick file that complied the reports on Kirigakure and Kumogakure. Hiruzen stopped smoking and seriously went through the file.

'Kirigakure is in a state of civil unrest. The bloody tradition of having students kill each other, have hindered them from training large quantities of shinobi. The civillians are calling for a change of tradition, while the elders are adamant on pursuing quality over quantity. There is also a segment here about how the third Mizukage vanished into thin air. Kumogakure on the otherside suffered serious casualities when the Hachibi escaped during the Jinchuriki transfer. The third Raikage was wounded and there were many other casualities. So both of them will not be participating in this war.' Hiruzen analyzed the report thoroughly.

'But what is this feeling of uneasiness...' Being a veteran of countless battles and even being reffered to as the strongest Kage of his generation, Hiruzen had faith in his gut feeling.

"Lord third...may I add something.." The anbu member wearing the fox mask spoke.

"Go ahead."

"Lord third.....I feel like something is amiss. Earlier this year, someone was able to sneak into the village unoticed and managed to take out two top anbu members without leaving a single chakra signature. They seemed very familiar with the layout of the village." The Anbu member spoke. "I am going on a theory here, but what if the same person was the one who played a role in the disappearance of the Third Mizukage and the Hachibi escaping. The Third Mizukage was a relatively pacifistic and peaceful ruler, who was also against the cruel graduation traditions of Kirigakure. Kumogakure on the other hand is also known as the village with the greatest achievements when it comes to taming and sealing a Tailed beast. Their seals and transfer process of the tailed beast from one Jinchuriki to another is also extremely safe....it's odd that they suddenly made a mistake at such a crucial time."

"What is your point?" Hiruzen asked as he narrowed his eyes. '.....Hmm this young'un is on my same thought process, he would be an ideal candidate for the role of a Hokage's chief Advisor.'

"Lord third, the only person who I know is capable of such a feat...." As the Anbu memebr spoke, Hiruzen could make out his fearful expression from behind his mask.

"....Madara Uchiha.." Hiruzen understood the young anbu's fear very well. "...Your theory would be right..but Madara Uchiha died a long time ago. The first Hokage made sure of that, and even if he was alive he would be a mere shell of his former self. That being said, these events are indeed odd and require more looking into."

"Yes Lord third."

After the Anbu left Hiruzen revealed a more serious expression. 'Even if it is Madara, what good will abducting the Mizukage, and releasing the Hachibi do...? Why kill two random Anbu? None of it makes any sense..... Just who is behind the scenes. I guess I'll need employ the services of 'Root' to get to the bottom of this.'

.....

"The Hokage Rock is still so impressive no matter how many times I've seen it." Smiled Obito, as he walked towards it. "Don't you think so too Gin?"

Obito asked towards the boy who walked next to him. Gin wore a black high collar t-shirt with the uchiha symbol on the back and black pants. Obtio wore a blue full-sleeves with the uchiha symbol on back and blue shorts.

"I guess." Replied Gin, with a simle. '...Quite pretentious though....'

"Baah, what a lame reply...." Obito sighed in annoyance. "I'm going to be the Hokage one day, so you better show me respect then. If you throw water on me, I'll throw you in jail."

'Sometimes I forget that he is only a kid....' Gin sighed inwardly, but still had a smile plastered on his face. "Yes yes."

The two youth quickly made their way to the Academy, and joined the other students for orientation.

"The next four years of your life will be devoted to the Academy. You all will be provided with taijutsu, ninjutsu, bukijutsu, genjutsu and other lessons. Do your best and turn into splendid ninjas who protect our glorious leaf." Spoke the head instructor.

The young students who were unaware of the weight of the word 'ninja', cheered and continued to talk amongst themselves.

'...To be a ninja means to fight.....' Gin thought to himself, when he someone call out to him.

"Yo smiling boy." A boy with a shining black bowl-cut hairstyle dressd a sleeveless green full-body suit, walked towards. "Are you enjoying the passions of youth my smiling friend?"

'The passions of youth?' Gin thought to himself in confusion. "Ah, yes of course."

A fire seemed to ingnite the youth's eyes as he grabbed both of Gin's hand. "Finally, I've found a youth....who shares my passions of youth. My name is Might Guy. What is your name, smiling friend?"

'What the hell is the passion of youth?' Gin thought to himself, for the first time since reincarnating into this world, Gin couldn't smile. The pure weirdness of the youth in front of him, caused him to break his facade. "Nice to meet you Might Guy. My name is Gin Uchiha."

"Hmm, an Uchiha! I looked forward to our fated battle my smiling friend." The youth named Might Guy, shook Gin's hand before moving towards a white haired youth wearing a mask that covered most of his face.

"Hello my masked friend. Are you enjoying the passions of youth?" Might Guy asked giving the boy a thumbs up.

'This guy is really weird....' Gin thought to himself, when he noticed his 'brother'.

Obito was standing in a corner, staring at girl from far.

"Boo." Gin whispered in to his ears, after appearing behind him quietly.

"Wahh!!" Obito shouted out. "Ginnn, I told you to stop playing pranks on me."

"Yeah, Yeah. Come on we'll be late for our very first class." Gin spoke as he started walking ahead.

Gin and Obito sat next to each other. Since it was three students on each bench, one seat was left empty. A boy wearing a bandana, came and sat there.

"Hello, my name is Ibiki Morino." The youth introduced himself, after which he paid no attention to Gin or Obito.

"What a grump." Whispered Obito to Gin.

Gin hearing this, raised his hands in helplessness.

Just then a man wearing a dark blue shirt and pants, with a dark green flak jacket. The man also wore his forehead protector around his neck as opposed to his forehead.

"Hello everyone, my name is Shin. I will be your homeroom teacher." The man spoke lazily. "I want everyone to go one by one and introduce themselves. You may also speak about your goals and ambitions, you may also speak about your pets or anything else about yourself. It's a friendly exercise for us to get along better with each other."

One by one the students went introducing themselves.

"My name is Kurenai Yuhi, and my goal is...."

"My name is Asuma Sarutobi, and my goal is...."

"My name is Kakashi Hatake, and my goal is to be a strong ninja."

"My name is Rin Nohara, and my goal is to be the best Medical nin."

When the girl called Rin spoke, Obtio peeked his head out to look at her.

"My name is Might Guy, and my goal is to enjoy the passion of youth."

Then a spiky haired boy stood up. His face was red with nervousness. "ah..eh MY NAME IS OBITO UCHIHA. MY GOAL IS TO BECOME THE HOKAGE."

Hearing the loud annoucement, the entire class' attenttion was Obito. Everyone remained silent for a while, before bursting into laughter.

'This fool.....' Gin sighed in his mind. '....But what exactly is my goal...'

"Alright everyone, quiet down. Next." Spoke the instructor lazily.

"My name Gin Uchiha, and my goal is to....lead a normal life." Gin spoke, with his eyes half closed, and an eerie smile.

Once again the class' attention was on a Uchiha, and only one thought went through their minds. 'Unusual.'

'What an interesting kid.' The lazy instructor finally revealed some interested as he looked up to look at the boy.

'I've decided, I've had enough fighting, betrayals and killing for a lifetime.' Gin thought back to his life in soul society. 'The human realm was an enviable place. They lead peaceful lives and died peaceful deaths. I envied their peace. Now that I'm left with no one to protect and no one to kill maybe, just maybe I too can enjoy this peace.'
