Return to the Academy

Let it be known that chakra exhaustion and pulling an all-nighter is a deadly combination that sent me right back to the Hospital for half the day.

#$*%@^&, calm yourself, Sasuke. No one could have known this would happen, hell, this can even further cement the image of a boy desperately seeking strength for revenge. That's right, all according to plan, the perpetrators of the genocide won't know what hit them when I reveal true self at the climax.

*Haaah*

Letting out a sigh from my severe cope, I relished in the fact that I at least learned some jutsus and some useful knowledge for the future.

Even if I can memorise a jutsu with my Sharingan, even if I can see the flow of chakra, if my control over the chakra itself AND my proficiency in nature transformation is not enough... I will not be able to instantly use any jutsu like Kakashi did to earn his moniker 'The Copy Ninja'.

Even then, thanks to the combined talent of all 3 of us, I had managed to learn all 3 basic jutsus and the only thing gating me from reducing them to one or even no hand signs is the lack of chakra control. Something I'll remedy with my newly thought up training plan for chakra control.

First, I'll learn to walk on trees, before moving on walking on water. Then, I'll go to my hot spring and learn water-walking on there too, before finally learning the rasengan using the balloon steps. Even then, I still have more to go. I'll learn to do one-handed rasengans before making one finger rasengans, then a rasengan on each finger, then a rasengan from different parts of my body like my elbows, and knees, and my di-

Anyway, I'll wait until I leave the Hospital before I do my exercise plan. There are many levels so I'll just have to consistently train until I reach the peak, after all, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will perfect chakra control.

{The Morning of my Return to the Academy}

Waking up, I did my daily routine consisting of various hygiene practices, self-care, and daily exercises, both physical and chakra-intensive before leaving for the Shinobi Academy.

Originally, I would've worn the standard Uchiha clothing, but it reminded me too much of Itachi to wear. Instead, I decided to be different. Today, was the day I would establish a new image. One of an elegant, powerful, fairy-like existence. Someone that can only be admired.

I had chosen to wear silk robes of white, gold, and purple. Purple cloth that covered my hands and feet like it was a second layer of skin, and sleek sharp black closed-toe shoes.

Now that my outfit was set, it was time to make a stylish entrance. After all, I needed to truly engrave a grand impression on my classmates to completely subvert their expectations from when they last saw me at the Funeral.

Concentrating my chakra through my muscles, I weaved a hand sign and left.

Tora (Tiger).

<Shunshin No Jutsu>

In an instant, I was gone, speeding across the roof tops with rapid bursts of the body flicker jutsu before arriving at the Academy in seconds. Now, the wait. I'll use transformation jutsu to hide myself while I wait for Iruka to silence the class.

Inu (Dog). I (Boar). Hitsuji (Ram).

<Henge No Jutsu>

Disguising myself as part of the wall of the hallway, I watched as Iruka passed me without suspicion. Success! I had already reached a level of chakra suppression with the combination of my chakra control and Sharingan that even a Chūnin couldn't sense me.

"Why you, damn Ino Pig!"

"Me?! What about you, Forehead!"

"Man, what a drag... I can't even sleep with this noise."

*Crunch* "Yeah, it's making me so stressed that I didn't even notice myself opening another bag!"

"Woof woof!"

"Take a bite out of them if you want, Akamaru, heh, it'll show them."

"I will become the next Hokage, Dattebayo! Dattebayo! DATTEBAYO! DATTTEBAYYOOO!"

Walking into the rambunctious class full of noise, Iruka used his famed (among students) big head jutsu and shouted at the top of the lungs.

"QUIET! I have a big surprise for you all!"

Instantly, the class went silent, curious about what Iruka-sensei was going to show.

As for me, well, I was upset. Because only now did I realise that Iruka HAD noticed my transformation and just chose to ignore it, but... maybe that was normal, after all Iruka had even managed to catch Naruto numerous times in the Anime despite him being able to avoid the ANBU.

He paused for a moment, holding his chin up with one hand, before smirking.

"Actually, on second thought, I'll just let him make his own entrance."

A momentary grin spread cross my face as I realised that he understood what I wanted. I'll remember this favour, Iruka.

Dispelling my henge, I flickered to the front of the teacher's desk, leaving a bomb of smoke at impact, before flaring my chakra to disperse it in front of everyone.

"It's good to see you, everyone."

For a moment they were shocked, faces full of awe, even the idiot. And then, they roared.

The fangirls immediately began cheering in happiness while the boys were either still awed or envious of my looks. Taking a moment, I scanned through the faces, satisfied with their reactions until I saw Naruto, the idiot.

He had a blush on his face with red going all the way up to his ears just like Hinata. Just like that, all of my good feelings drowned out. Instead replaced by an overwhelming disgust and disdain, evidently showing on my face as my nose crinkled and eyebrows furrowed. A mouth deep-set with a frown looked straight at Naruto.

Which, of course, got a predictable reaction out of him.

"HAH!? Why are you looking at me like that?! Damn bastard, I'll kill you!"

Rolling up his sleeves while lifting his arm, he began running at me.

Suddenly shifting my expression, I put on a gentle smile. slowly yet beautifully lifting my arm as my robes fluttered, I threw my middle finger at him.

"On your left."

"You think I'd fall for that? You're dead!"

And then he got slammed to the floor by the fangirls who started tearing him apart for verbally abusing their 'Sasuke-kun'.

*Smirk*

Ah yes, I suppose this will be more fun than I thought.
