Uchiha Twins

" Shin kun, are you sure you are okay? "

Shinnosuke turned towards Ino, who was looking at him with worry.

" Yeah, I think I am good now, took plenty of rest, that should help somewhat.. "

Ino looked at Shinnosuke with a sad expression, the brothers didn't deserve any of this..

Well, at least Shin could somewhat talk again, his younger brother Sasuke was a whole another story, he has closed himself off from everyone but Shin.

But Ino didn't care about Sasuke as much as she did about Shin, Sakura will take care of her Sasuke, Ino meanwhile attempted to make small talk with Shin.

" Shin kun, how is the clan, is everything alright there? If you need my help just ask, I am a future clan head too you know! "

Ino said as she patted her chest, Shin gave Ino a small smile as he told her the status of Uchiha clan.

" Uchiha clan is nominally in my hands, but until I am Jonin, I don't have any true decision making power. "

Ino nodded, Shinnosuke was the older twin, he was the clan head by default.

But the rank restrictions leave him helpless.

" Right now Uchiha guards are managed under Fuma clan, they are our distant relatives. They should theoretically leave control once I am capable enough. "

Ino nodded a little pityingly, she knew the word ' capable enough ' was a gulf hard to cross, at least when talking about taking power back from someone.

But she believes in Shin.

" You can do it Shin kun, as long as you reach S class, they would have no choice but to give you back control. "

Then smirkingly she elbowed Shin.

" Then you can come to the Yamanaka to ask my hand in marriage too! "

Shin smiled but didn't comment on it, he currently considered Ino a good friend, nothing more.

Ino knew this, that's why she always egged him on like this, to take her more seriously.

" Class, settle down. "

Shin and Ino stopped talking as Shin started tuning out Iruka and thought of his current situation.

' I knew this day was going to come when I was reborn, but the Tsukuyomi was still painful '

Shinnosuke was surprised at first when he was reborn as Sasuke's twin, but had accepted it with time.

Because of this, Shin wasn't as naive as Sasuke and actually tried the stop the coup, be it by trying to influence Itachi and Fugaku, or asking questions that might give a new perspective. But nothing worked.

Everyone was far too gone, neither Uchiha nor Konoha upper level wanted to stop, so Shin alone couldn't do anything.

' At least the pain from Tsukuyomi was big enough time unlock my Sharingan. '

Shin and Sasuke both had unlocked their doujutsu.

Sasuke didn't know, and Shin didn't say, Sasuke might be better than canon because of him, but he was still revenge obsessed.

Telling such a Sasuke he now has the Sharingan will be throwing him into the fire pit, he will burn himself trying to kill Itachi and fail.

Looking at Sasuke, Shinnosuke gave a light smile.

' Itachi shouldn't be hated like this, he himself is thirteen, he was completely manipulated, he is a victim too. '

Writing in his notebook whatever Iruka taught. Shin made plans for the future.

' I have unlocked the one tomoe Sharingan, now it's either more emotional trauma or training to get it up to three. '

Shinnosuke wasn't about to go looking for emotional trauma, so training it was.

' If everything works out well, I should be up to three tomoe by graduation, I have a lot of time. "

Shinnosuke knew if all went according to plan, he will be a Jonin in all but rank after graduation.

' That's just how Sharingan works, with enough time three tomoe will push you up to Jonin, and Mangekyou will push you up to S class. '

This was generally the case as long as you had the potential or training to back it up.

' I have both conditions satisfied, I am Sasuke's twin, my potential is at least really high. And training plan I already have one. '

Shin had already prepared a training plan when he understood he couldn't stop the coup, every justu the clan head had, he had painstakingly copied and buried under a tree using Itachi's help.

' I have checked after the massacre, it's still there, now that a week has passed, and we are back at class, Anbu shouldn't be following us any longer, I can dig it out tonight. '

Shinnosuke wasn't too worried about gaining strength, until Itachi died, nobody could touch them.

Shinnosuke would grow at his own pace, without destroying his body in the process, he knew he can go far, so why the rush, he will enjoy life meanwhile.

Looking at Ino, Shin smiled, seeing which she smiled back.

Yes, Shin would take everything as it comes, there is no need to rush anything..
