2 New beginnings

3RD PERSON POV

In a small forest like area we see 3 children playing around in a game that looked similar to tag and but had properties of hide and seek.

One of them was a girl of medium length coal black hair that had 2 bangs framing the sides of the face with one pointing slightly ahead of the other her raven eyes. She looked to be 5 feet tall wearing an azure vest over her black long sleeved shirt with cerulean trousers and dark brown sandals that were tailor made for Shinobi's. She also had a small belt with 2 small pouches on them. On the back of her vest she had strange symbol depicting an Uchiwa with Crimson and snow like white. 

One of them was a boy slightly taller than the girl at 5'1 he to had jet black hair and eyes though the hair was short and spikier with his own bangs slightly over his eyebrows. He wore a high collared long sleeved short dyed a deep sapphire like color with a similar looking symbol on the back of it. He had long black bottoms with a line of sapphire going through it and he had a similar looking belt on with similar pouches though they looked slightly bigger.

The 3rd child is a girl with long ebony like hair tied into a ponytail by a purple bow she wore a simple black shirt with similar looking trousers on she was the only one who didn't have the strange paper fan (Uchiwa) like symbol on her clothing. She looked around 3'5 but seemed to have a keener eye then her 2 older siblings. 

"Akihiro, Arisu where are you?" The girl who was the current seeker spoke as she looked around the field with a small smile as she looked around. She was unaware that they were both in the tree above her.

Arisu POV

This game was great for training stealth and DEX honestly. Since I started DEX had reached 15 and Stealth had reached Level 3. Of course my stats aren't super high outside of my INT which apparently stayed the same as my past life's intelligence. 180 that was my INT stat and it had not moved a single point since coming to this world. 

Then there's a few things I learned. First off only 3 faces existed on the Hokage monument. The second was that the Sannin had yet to be named. Meaning that I am within a time period set after the 1st Great Shinobi war and if the final piece of information I learned had anything to say then I am most likely a few years from the start of 2nd war. 

Which is probably why I was reborn directly into an Uchiha family and not reborn as an orphan that wasn't known to be from the Uchiha clan. 

I stared at Nee chan from above as she moved towards a bush before she turned to attempt to find me by looking on the trees. Nii san immediately grabbed me and leapt to another tree as she was trying to find us on them having exhausted her options. Meanwhile I was calculating her next move. Due to my understanding of the human brain I could guess someone's thought processes accurately. 

"Nii san move to another tree." I muttered quietly making sure that the sound got to his ears alone. 

He trusted my instinct and leapt away to a tree out of my sisters range as her eyes just landed on the tree we were on just 2 seconds.

"Good call." I heard him praise me. Now we were close yes but I have yet to unlock any social links yet with them and if I know Persona as I know Persona my family members will have a social link tied to all of them. Which means that I haven't met the requirements to unlock their social links yet. 

Well time to enjoy myself a bit more I guess.

1 hour later

"Seriously I can't believe you both would hide up on the trees for that long." 

I sat down in front of Nee chan and next to Nii san as she complained a smug smile on my face after I managed to achieve total domination for more than 2 hours.

"But Nee chan you never said anything about not using the trees to our advantage fully." I stated letting the words that left my mouth carry an air of air of confidence. 

"Right right come on Arisu you're clearly disobeying the idea of this exercise."

Such annoying excuses.

"Am I though? If I remember correctly the nature of this exercise is to gain skills in stealth and hiding from the enemy you only get to train agility after you've been found." I stated with a tone of superiority.

"You overconfident idiot!" She yelled suddenly as I heard a giggle from Nii san. I laughed whole heartedly joining in.

"Kid's lunch is ready." Kaa san came all the way to an Uchiha training grounds to call us for lunch at which point we left as my face went back into an emotionless expression. 

Time flew by after that as I ate, talked to Kaa san and Tou san and went through my usual training session. Progress was slow in terms of stat increasing but that was fine as I was only 4 years old at this point.

Tomorrow the clan was holding a training session for all 3 year old Uchiha's to learn how to awaken Chakra and the Uchiha's Taijutsu style. 

Since I arrived in this world 4 years ago I felt quite different than back then. I enjoyed another person's company for the first time. I cared for another human beyond what piece on a chessboard I considered them being. I even felt happy around other people fully.

Was this perhaps the work of Saireiko? I didn't know but I knew one thing. 

I will survive and protect those I care for. No matter the methods used to do so.
