Itachi-Befriending The Uchiha Geniuses

1 Year later

"Mom, Dad, Please let me leave the compound I promise I'm just going to look at the academy."

"Fine Izuna but just don't ask anymore"

"Yes! Thanks Mom"

'Its been a year since I started learning jutsu I've learned many of the jutsu dad taught me mostly fire style and clone jutsu's. On my own I've been practicing all the other elemental releases which include Kekkei Genkai's. I've improved the range of my byakugan to 400 meters. And I've got the hang of wood style. Thank God (Literally) For this Talent.'

'I have two current plans for getting into the hokage's office and getting the scroll of sealing. Plan A I go to the hokage and tell him that i mysteriously have the power of wood in which i could distract him and get the scroll of seals, Plan B I go to the hokage's office put everyone under a genjutsu and take the scroll of seals forcefully.'

' I still don't know which plan to choose so im going to go to hokage office to find the scroll now, since Minato will become hokage in 5 months and i need strength for the Nine tails attack in about a years time.'

As Izuna was walking to the outskirts of the compound Izuna's heart skipped a beat, because a few meters In front of him was a 6 year old boy with black hair, It was Itachi Uchiha.

'Now's my chance to befriend the prodigy maybe he can bring me to Shisui, and if i join there friend group I could awaken my sharingun with the death of Shisui Uchiha.'

Izuna walked down the riverbed and sat a few feet away from Itachi as he skipped a stone across the water.

"Hi, I'm Izuna what's your name?"

"Itachi, why are you here?"

'Okay so around this point in Itachi's Shinden, Itachi is having a crisis and he keeps asking "what is life?", "What is precious?", and I think I'm going to make him resonate with me.'

"I'm just confused, I don't get why I'm here, or what is life, why are people precious? I cant seem to figure it out right now."

Itachi winced when he heard what I said, and he looked at me mildly dazed and sentimentally.

"Say Itachi have you ever wondered that either?"

Itachi gave a small smile and said to me "Life is what you want it to be, And people are precious if you care about them, I asked the same question for a long time before I came to that answer."

"Say Itachi Since we're so alike do you want to be friends?"

"Friends?" Itachi had a confused look, probably since I'm the first person that ever wanted to be his friend.

"Yea, like I'll always watch out for you and you will do the same"

Itachi gave me an unsure "Uh, Sure"

"Well now that we're friends Itachi do you want to compare our techniques?"

"Hmm, Ok"

'Yes! Lets go, I baited THE Itachi Uchiha into giving me first hand experience to combat, even though he's only six.'

"Okay Izuna follow me to my training grounds, i can show you some cool techniques."

'Wait, Shit I forgot i need to go the the hokage's office to use the scroll of sealing, well actually i have a better plan in mind so ill use that after.

Itachi Brought me to his shuriken training grounds and said "Watch This Closely Izuna" And proceeded to do his really cool throw kunai of shuriken technique.

*Dink**Dink**Dink**Dink*

"WHOA! Awesome Itachi"

After a few hours I said my goodbyes and went out of the compound to the hokage's Office.

After a bit of persuasion I was put in a queue where people had to wait to see the hokage, luckily all the people that were there at the time was my and the special Jonin guarding the hokage's office.

'I really don't know if this genjutsu will work but if it doesn't I will just kill this Jonin anyway.'

Izuna took in a deep breath and let out a sigh 'Ketsuryugan'

Izuna looked at the lazy slacking Jonin and said 'Genjutsu: Mind Control'

Suddenly the guards eyes had a slight reddish hue and he was fully under Izuna's control.

'Okay Jonin I will lure Hiruzen away by showing him my abilities while you take the scroll of sealing and copy it all down for me.'

After a few minutes of waiting the door opened up and a deep voice said "Come in"

Izuna walked in at a casual pace and sat down.

The deep voice was obviously Hiruzen, and he added onto that statement "Oh? Little Boy what are you doing here?"

"Um excuse me sir, I couldn't tell my parents about this, but for some reason I can manipulate the wood all around me."

"HUH?" Said Hiruzen in extreme Shock

"Its not just normal wood either its extremely powerful, and I didn't know anyone else to tell this to so I just came to you grandpa Hokage."

After Hiruzen regained his senses he proceeded to ask "Izuna boy, can you show me this wood style of yours?"

"Of course grandpa hokage, but I cant use it here or else the building will collapse."

Hiruzen said "Oh right, sorry I got a little to excited. Follow me Izuna boy."

Izuna followed Hiruzen until they went to one of the many training grounds in Konoha.

"Alright Izuna boy try moving this tree"

Izuna made a chakra gathering seal and after a few seconds the tree started to grow and a incredible rate, making a huge throne made of wood with cool ornaments to boot.

In the meanwhile in the hokage's office the Jonin copy's the scroll of sealing diligently and after a few hours pass Izuna is about to head in with Hiruzen so the special Jonin steps back in place and lets the two back in the door.

"Izuna boy I will handle this with your parents so you don't have to tell them just yet."

"Thank you grandpa hokage"

and after a brief chat Izuna left the hokage's office and took the copied scroll with him back to the compound.

After eating dinner with his parents he went to his room and started to read the scroll.

'AWSOME! look at all the jutsu's in this scroll'

Izuna flipped through until he found the shadow clone jutsu, he started practicing it, and in 10 minutes he learned the technique.

'With this all of my learning will breakthrough another level of efficiency and so will my strength.

'The next and hardest jutsu will be the Flying Raijin.'

Izuna started learning the flying Rajin and days flew by.

23 days later

*Whew* 'After so long I finally completed the flying Raijin to a new degree.

Izuna put a few seals in his room and practiced teleporting around and started getting the hang of the jutsu.

'In a few months since Sasuke was just born and the nine tails will attack so I should prepare my getaway, since I'm going to turn five very soon I should be old enough for people not to question me.'

since it was early in the morning Izuna at dinner with his parents and left the house

'Alright since I already left the house I'm going to go see Itachi and make preparations'
