Balcony Flowers and Lines

I don't own solo leveling or Naruto

...

"I need to get out of this place so that I can test these new abilities."

...

When Izumi finally arrived to pick up Itachi from the hospital, Itachi felt excited to explore a world that was peaceful as this.

This new world was the image of peace that Itachi hoped Naruto could usher in the Shinobi World.

But first before all that Itachi would have go 'home' and settle in.

...

After an Uber dropped of him and Izumi off at her apartment address she grab Itachi's hand forcibly dragging him up several flights of stairs to door 345.

'She's almost as energetic as Madara's Tobi persona and she's almost 40,' He thought exasperated.

When Itachi gained his bearings he took off his black Allstars from the hospital and entered the apartment after Izumi. He was greeted with a door to his left leading to the kitchen and straight ahead of him was a washing machine at the end of the passage.

He walked forward and went to the washing machine's right leading to the living room door and it there that he saw Izumi from across the living room ready to open the door to her famous balcony garden.

Itachi smiled softly with an almost reminst gaze in his eyes as he thought about his Izumi. Her hobby in the Tsukyomi genjutsu he placed on her was gardening. It brought him complicated feelings when he saw this Izumi with the same passion for gardening.

Itachi crossed the distance between them and was meet with a wonderful array of flowers that he didn't know the meanings of, but Izumi would say them anyway. Itachi may not have known it yet, but he would cherish this moment of peace for years to come.

...

1 week later.

A handsome teenager with long pronounced tear troughs running under his eyes. He had long, dark hair tied up in a low ponytail. He was wearing navy sneakers, black jeans, a long-sleeved navy shirt with a black Nike hoodie on was walking purposely towards a tall building with the Japanese hunter association logo on it, most people come here for information on gates, guilds or to get evaluated.

-Note-

*Evaluation is a test done by a fairly accurate mana power dector to cement a hunter's rank in the association databases. The ranks goes as follows:

E-Rank, the weakest

D-Rank

C-Rank

B-Rank

A-Rank

S-Rank, the strongest

These ranks are important to distinguish the ability level between hunters and know which individual is most qualified to enter a high ranked gate, which are ranked similar to hunters with few exceptions.*

-Note-

This teenager's name was Itachi Uchiha and he came here for one reason to become a hunter.

His reasons for becoming a hunter were quite simple, Izumi need money to pay back all the loans and debit she is in for managing to pay for his life support, without it he most certainly wouldn't be here today.

Using what he learned about hunters and how previlged they were in this society from his time learning about them in the hospital, he came to the conclusion that being a hunter was the fastest way to get money and pay off Izumi's debt.

Some may say he shouldn't feel obligated to help Izumi with her debts, but Itachi couldn't help but feel guilty about taking the child away from his mother, Izumi.

He also wanted to help Izumi, because she reminds him of a possible version that could've been if everything didn't go south with the Uchiha Clan.

For that reason as well he couldn't help but feel obligated to protect her, because of what happened between him and her in his previous life.

...

During the 1 week he also deduced that Izumi had major debts that would catch up with her sooner rather than later and it was one of the reasons he would decide to become a hunter.

He was also trying to active his Sharingan.

He wasn't too confident in getting his Mangekyo Sharingan, because of the conditions required for that stage of his clan's prized dojutsu. It wasn't too difficult for him too figure out how to activate his 3 tomoe Sharingan, all he had to do was draw on all the self hatred he felt since the Uchiha Massacre, even though he has mostly forgiven himself.

...

When he was in the government authorized Tokyo branch of the Hunters Association building, he immediately went to the registration line to register for his evaluation. After 39 minutes in line he came to the front and was greeted by a grumpy middle aged woman with flecks of gray in her hair.

"Write down your name, surname and identification card number here, please," she drawled out in a tired tone.

Itachi wrote down his details as instructed.

"Email address or phone number," she drawled again forgetting to add please at the end, not that it mattered to Itachi.

Itachi was gald Izumi saved this body's old phone otherwise he would have been in quite the predicament. He wrote down his phone number and handed the clipboard back to the tired lady.

"Make your way to the evaluation hall, it's down the hall to the right of me, fouth door on the left," She said with more energy almost as if she was gald to be rid of him.

...

He went down the path as instructed and opened the door to a public seating area with 10 rows of metal chairs with 15 people in 6 of the 10 rows. Itachi sat in the first chair of the 7th row which he noticed had a number on it, 91st.

He realized he was going to be there awhile

"Hn" Itachi grunted in annoyance
