Graduation [1]

The Uchiha Clan was on a sour mood, the news about Danzo attacking was hidden from everyone, including from the attacked Clan, for everyone, another Village attacked Konohagakure and the Uchihas protected it.

This increased their status within their Village and without the one-eyed man to continuously raise the Villagers enmity towards the Uchiha, all rumors regarding them eventually died, they were replaced with a more glorious air, however, their Clan Head lost his eyesight after the battle, a new Clan Head was selected; Itachi Uchiha, the youngest Clan Head ever, he's just in name, though, Mikoto is the one managing the Clan while he doesn't have enough age for it.

Flashback, Uchiha Estate.

''W-What? F-Father is blind?'' A trembling Sasuke stood there as he saw that Fugaku eyes no longer could see anything, a stark white was there instead of his usual onyx-colored eyes.

Itachi approached his younger brother, his usual stoic facade broke as sadness surfaced over his face, the young Clan Head patted Sasuke's back ''Don't worry, Sasuke, I'm here. Father may be blind but at least he's alive, he's here with us.''

The black-haired boy nodded even though tears dripped down his cheeks, he closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened again, they were bloody red-colored, a tomoe appeared on each of his eyes.

Flashback End, Ninja Academy.

Naruto was standing on a side of the Academy field, it was the break time, it happens once in a day for the students to eat or whatever they want, he just sits there, hearing the gossips silently.

''Did you hear about it? The previous Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku Uchiha, sacrificed his vision for the sake of saving the village, he's a hero! And Sasuke is his son!'' A girl said to another girl, he didn't know them nor was he interested in them.

'So Sasuke's father is safe, that's good.' Naruto thought, they came to become rather good friends, the Uchiha Clan never judged him, he didn't know why but nobody of the Uchiha Clan, be it Ninja or civilian of it, they never looked at him with hate, this is mainly the reason of why he chose to help them a few days ago.

''Yo, blondie, is being a loner your hobby or something?'' A voice came from his side, looking towards the voice owner, he saw that it was Sasuke.

The black-haired boy didn't come to the Ninja Academy for a few days because he was taking time with his father, that couldn't do his duties anymore ''You can say that it is my hobby, so, is sneaking behind others your hobby? Never thought you were like that.'' the blue-eyed boy refuted emotionlessly.

'Tsk...' Sasuke thought, they always battle with words because he can't defeat Naruto in a true fight.

Sitting beside Naruto while he ate food that was prepared by his mother, he asked curiously ''How has your Shurikenjutsu been going? Did you improve?''

Nodding, the blue-eyed boy said ''Yeah, I don't think I'm better than you at Shurikenjutsu yet, though. What about your Kenjutsu, Raiton and Katon? Also, are you doing good? You know, your father going blind and all...''

The black-haired boy smiled smugly ''I improved a lot at my Kenjutsu, also, I'm ok, even though I'm sad that Father lost his sight, I got over it, I even awakened my Sharingan, maybe I can defeat you with it!''

''Yeah, you're strong right now, congratulations.'' Naruto said indifferently before blinking once and then twice curiously 'Why is Hinata looking at me while fidgeting her fingers and that red face? She clearly wants to approach me, maybe her shyness is attacking again?' he thought before adding 'I'll ask Nii-san about it later!'

Turn out, last time, he forgot to ask about her reactions towards him.

Suddenly, they heard a girl scream ''Kyaaa! Sasuke-kun is back!'' through her scream, more and more girls started to scream, annoying Naruto in the process.

Sasuke was famous in the Ninja Academy for both his looks and status, Naruto still doesn't understand what they see in him, his appearance isn't even that good, his hair is strange and he's weak.

The blue-eyed boy, however, is the complete opposite, he's infamous, though his looks are considered at the same level and even a bit better looking, they hate him due to his status as a Jinchuuriki, their hate and fear imprinted by their parents.

Only a small minority of his class, that surprisingly still has 30 students, don't hate him, a peculiar fact is that out of the four classes, his class is the only one that no one quit, he's still sure that only nine will pass per class and become a Genin, though.

Looking over Sasuke, he patted the black-haired boy shoulder ''Good luck with your crazy fangirls, I'm leaving!'' Naruto said before disappearing, he didn't plan on staying for today, the class would be crazy with these fangirls, he decided to simply leave a Kage Bunshin.

As Naruto was walking through the Ninja Academy hallways while casually looking towards the students passing by, someone stopped him ''Oi, you're Naruto Uzumaki, right?''

Raising his head since the one that stopped him was taller, Naruto nodded, he was curious as to why someone would stop the infamous him, usually, no one wanted to even approach him.

''Fight me!'' The older kid said as Naruto thought for a bit 'I've seen him before in the 4-A, we stay in each grade for two years, this mean he's at the time of Graduation, I wonder why he wants to fight me...?'

Shaking his head, Naruto said ''No.''

The older kid sighed ''Please! I heard that you defeated Sasuke-sama and he's already at the level of a Genin, I want to fight a stronger opponent! I'm Uchiha Kinsuke, by the way.''

'Indeed, Sasuke told me that most Uchiha shinobi are battle junkies which is also why most confuse them as arrogant pricks...' Pondering for a bit, Naruto said ''Ok but I'm short in time, just come towards me, no Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, only Taijutsu.''

Uchiha Kinsuke nodded before his eyes suddenly changed and became a Sharingan, one tomoe in each eye, becoming serious, he advanced towards Naruto at full speed.

The result was obvious, he was defeated instantly, the blue-eyed boy went to his home while humming slightly, Uchiha Kinsuke thought as a fire of determination lit in his eyes 'I'll surpass you, someday!'
