Chapter 4: The Enigmatic Beauty and the Prodigy

In the late afternoon, when the sun cast a warm glow over the village, Daichi found himself near a secluded training ground. He decided to practice his jutsu in private, away from the prying eyes of the villagers.

As he focused on molding his chakra, he noticed a figure in the distance – a beauty with long, ebony hair and striking onyx eyes. Daichi recognized her immediately. It was Itana, the prodigious ninja and one of the most talented in the village.

He had heard stories about her, a powerful and enigmatic figure, but had never encountered her up close. As he approached, he was taken aback by her beauty and poise. Even the actresses in his previous life couldn't compare to this young beauty. Daichi had always thought of Itachi as a male, just like in his previous world, but now he stood face to face with a stunning girl.

"Hello," Daichi said, trying not to appear too flustered.

Itana turned her attention to the young boy and offered a warm smile. "Hello there. Are you training your chakra?"

Daichi nodded, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. "Yes"

"I am Itana.What's your name?"Itana asked the boy who was looking at her in a daze.

"Ohh...mm..My name is Daichi." Daichi replied wakening from daze.

"Daichi!? I have heard about you, the child prodigy with monstrous talent in chakra control," Itana replied, her voice gentle and soothing, making Daichi blush.

"Do you mind if I watch you train?"

Daichi's heart skipped a beat at the idea of impressing the renowned Itana. "Of course not. I'd be honored."

He took a deep breath and began his chakra exercises. He molded the energy with precision, forming small chakra orbs and attempting basic jutsus he had learned from observing other ninja. As he performed, he couldn't help but sense a subtle energy radiating from Itana.

The enhanced Elemental Affinity Insight allowed Daichi to perceive the chakra nature surrounding Itachi. His eyes widened in astonishment as he realized that Itana had an affinity for fire nature at a higher level.

He had heard about the talent of Itana,but seeing it firsthand was a revelation. Daichi felt a newfound respect and admiration for Itana's abilities.

"You're quite skilled for your age," Itana complimented, her eyes reflecting genuine interest.

Daichi blushed at the praise, feeling a surge of confidence. "Thank you, Itana-san."

She chuckled softly. "Please, just call me Itana."

As they spent more time together, Daichi found himself drawn to Itana's presence. She was kind and patient, willing to share her knowledge and offer guidance whenever he asked for it.

From that day on, Daichi often found himself seeking out Itana's company. They would train together, sharing their experiences and insights. Itana was impressed by Daichi's dedication and how quickly he grasped new concepts. In turn, Daichi admired Itana's wisdom and skill.

As the months passed, their friendship grew stronger, and something more began to stir in Daichi's heart. He found himself viewing Itana as more than just a mentor and role model. He saw her as a love interest, someone he wanted to conquer when he grew up.

However, Daichi also carried a burden of knowledge from his previous life. He remembered that Itachi, as a member of the Uchiha clan, had been ordered to massacre her own clan under the command of the Konoha leadership. But in this world, he had reason to believe that the massacre might not happen as Itana's father had already died in a mission while some of the Uchiha clan leaders died during Kurama's attack.
