Chapter 11 - (chapter eleven) the Uchiha family

yuto stepped out the bathroom as a cloud of steam flooded out the opened door. he closed his eyes and shook his damp hair. he heard a growl from his side as he turned to see his grandfather standing there his white kimono now sprinkled with wet spots. 

"ohh, i didnt see you there" yuto said with a nervous chuckle.

"you brat, this is your third shower today, were could you possibly be going at this time" his grandfather asked with a frown.

"I've been invited to dinner by the Uchiha family" yuto said.

"what, fugaku San actually took a liking to you" his grandfather said surprisingly.

"yeah, i was just as surprised as you are now, apparently i left an impression in my spar with his eldest son" yuto said.

"hmm, i see, did you win" his grandfather questioned.

"no i wasn't able to combat against his sharingan, he is truly a genius like everyone says" yuto said.

"i see, I'll have to increase your training then" the older man said disappointed. 

yuto nodded. while he wasn't very excited by the idea of more training he knew it would be necessary. he had no intentions of speeding up his death by falling behind in training.

"well go on, you wouldn't want to keep the Uchiha family waiting" his grandfather said.

after yuto dressed himself and looked at his newly purchased full body mirror. he had found out it was possible to get items delivered to your home. he wore a burgundy haori that was slightly opened showing his fishnet shirt neath. he wore black baggy leather jeans and his traditional Japanese sandals.(the sandals jiraiya wore)

he gave himself a check over before darting off to the Uchiha compound. he made it to the compound walking through the district as he saw some children playing with a ball. the ball coincidentally rolled towards him. he picked up the ball seeing the blacked haired boy run towards him accepting the ball yuto had stretched out. 

"thanks big bro" the boy said running off. yuto smiled "did he mistake me for an Uchiha" yuto thought.

he continued walking, eventually reaching the Uchiha family's home. he lightly nocked on the door and prepared to put on his 5 star acting skills. the door was answered by a middle aged women though she looked to be in her twenties. she had straight black hair framing her face and wore civilian clothing. 

"ahh, you must be yuto, please come in" she said stepping aside and gesturing for him to walk in. he was surprised by the hospitality as the Uchiha were always portrayed as stuck up pricks that believed everyone should kiss the soles of their feet.

"i thank you for welcoming me into your home, Uchiha San" he said walking through the door taking in the sight of the surprisingly modest home. he took his sandals off at the door hearing Mikoto's soft voice behind him.

"no need for such formality's child, lady Mikoto will do" she said with a smile.

"of course, lady Mikoto" yuto said.

his face became indifferent after the formal greeting was out the way.

"you can go to itachi's room while i prepare dinner" she said. 

yuto gave her a nod before walking towards the hallway he assumed itachi's room was. he walked into a random room seeing a small blacked haired boy reading a scroll on the ground. the boy turned towards the door hearing the door open.

"who are you" the boy asked, clearly not happy about his reading being interrupted.

"if I'm not mistaken you're itachi's younger brother, sasuke was it" yuto said with a light smile.

"yeah, how do you know my big brother" sasuke asked defensively.

"I'm a friend of itachi's from the academy, I'll be attending dinner here" yuto said.

"have you entered the academy yet" yuto asked curiously as he wanted to get an idea of how old the Konoha 12 were at this time.

"no i still have 2 more years, I'm going to be as strong as my big brother" he said, a determined look on his little face. 

he suspected sasuke was around four to five years old and the Uchiha clan massacre wasn't that far away.

"I'm sure you will" yuto replied. "you wouldn't happen to know were itachi is" yuto asked.

"I'm right here" said a voice behind yuto.

yuto turned seeing itachi leaning his shoulder against the wall. yuto rolled his eyes as he was used to the Uchiha's need to make a cool entrance no matter the situation.

"my room is over here" itachi said gesturing to the room not far from sasukes.

"big brother, you actually have friends outside of the clan" sasuke said surprised.

itachi sweat dropped at that as he didn't know it was that obvious.

yuto chuckled "he's quite the introvert isn't he" yuto teased.

"i don't have as much free time as you" itachi defended calmly.

"that's true" yuto said. 

sasuke got up running towards itachi in anticipation as he spoke "big brother can you teach me how to throw shuriken tomorrow" he asked a hopeful look on his face.

itachi stopped sasuke's approaching form with a tap to the forehead. " I'm quite busy tomorrow maybe another time sasuke" itachi said with a small smile.

yuto smiled seeing the familiar, remembering the many times it was shown in the series. 

itachi and yuto entered itachi's room as yuto frowned at the plain boring room.

"your taste really is dull" yuto chastised. 

itachi frowned "its not particularly important" itachi said indifferently.

"always so serious, you work so hard, i think you deserve to enjoy the pleasures of life" "that's the problem with this shinobi world, we should talk to people more, smile more, laugh more, its good for the soul" "you should follow your desires despite your clans expectations, I'm sure there's a cute Uchiha girl you have your eye on.

itachi's face flushed a light red "sure, i guess you can say that" itachi responded nervously at the oddly specific suggestion. 

 yuto lightly chuckled plopping down on itachi's queen size mattress.

"i know your weaknesses" yuto said teasingly.

"what do you mean" itachi asked.

"its quite obvious, sasuke and a certain someone is your weakness" yuto said obviously.

itachi looked a little surprised at that.

"don't look so surprised i know everything, its just how i am" yuto said as if it was obvious.

yuto climbed on top of the bed and started to jump up and down on the mattress

itachi looked at him confused by his actions. "what are you doing" he asked.

"your telling me you've never done this before" yuto asked surprisingly. "you really are upright" he said. 

itachi frowned and did something completely out of character. he started jumping on the bed with yuto.

"looks like you can have fun" yuto said smiling as they jumped. but they were interrupted by the door being opened by Mikoto. 

"dinner is..." she stopped seeing the scene before her. her jaw lowered in shock seeing her reserved son actually having fun. her shocked expression changed to a smile as she spoke "dinner is ready" she said before closing the door an amused smile still on her face.

itachi and yuto looked at each other as they shared a laugh at being caught behaving like children despite them actually being children.

they later arrived at the medium sized table with different kinds of food displayed on it. just as yuto, itachi, sasuke, and Mikoto sat down the front door opened and fugaku walked in the room taking a seat at the table.

"(thank you for the food)" every one said before eating. they ate for a few before fugaku spoke.

"I'm glad you could make it yuto" fugaku said in his pompous tone. 

"i am glad i was able to make it as well, Uchiha San" yuto said calmly.

"yuto I'm curious, do you plan on graduating early this year" fugaku asked.

"yes i am, i think I've held it off long enough, after i graduate I'll enter the medical field" yuto responded.

"the medical field? i suspected you would be a combat oriented shinobi considering your skills" fugaku said slightly surprised.

"i plan to master every shinobi art" "i plan to study the medical field in between my missions and take fuinjutsu lessons from a practitioner" he said.

"its quite difficult to study multiple practices at once and in some cases it can be harmful to development" fugaku said in a warning tone.

"I've considered that, but lets just say I'm a special case when it comes to that specific hinderance" yuto said arrogantly.

"i see, it seems you've planned things accordingly" fugaku said.

yuto gave a small nod with a confident smile. yuto looked hearing sasuke's little voice speak. 

"how come your the same age as my brother but your still in the academy" sasuke asked curiously.

"Humm, that's a bit tricky" yuto said with a thinking posture.

"how so" fugaku asked a little interested seeing yuto's mysterious tone.

"well, I'm leagues above your average academy student, i needed more time to build the foundation for my career". "I've developed my mind, body and spirit these past years, and I've gained chakra reserves comparable to a high level chunin through my efforts" yuto said casually. 

this was in fact true, his spiritual energy was powerful and dense because of his 20 years from his previous life, the only reason his chakra reserves weren't at the jonin level was because his physical body was pitiful and by no surprise made his physical energy terrible. 

fugaku looked at yuto suspiciously before activating his three Tomoe sharingan and giving yuto's chakra reserves a look over before giving a firm nod.

"impressive" he said. 

itachi and Mikoto were surprised hearing this news, as they didn't expect an academy student to have so much chakra. 

"now i understand why you so boldly asked itachi for a spar" fugaku said.

"what you sparred my elder brother? surely big brother won right" sasuke asked looking at itachi's quite form next to yuto's.

yuto spoke "I am afraid so, itachi bested me in our spar, as expected from the genius of the Uchiha clan" yuto said with a light smile.

sasuke beamed at that forcing a chuckle out of Mikoto.

"yuto, if I'm not mistaken the blade you used in your spar with itachi was your father's correct" fugaku asked.

"yes that is correct, i am ashamed to admit i am shackled by the blade" yuto said a regretfully.

"what do you mean" itachi asked speaking for the first time.

"we live in the shinobi world, i dream of a world were my blade cuts apples instead of flesh" yuto said wisely. 

this was a lie, he had heard this quote from a manga from his previous life but they didn't need to know that.

"your sagacity is highly commendable" fugaku said. 

itachi didn't show it but he was slightly jealous as normally at dinner his father would praise him for doing the clan proud, but after just one day yuto was invited to dinner with the Uchiha family and his father also dished out praise to yuto. but itachi was a lot more mature than most ten year old's and didn't hold it against yuto in the slightest, he was aware that yuto shined in areas he didn't like charm, and charisma so he knew it was only natural that yuto would have people gravitating towards him a lot more, despite itachi being significantly more talented than yuto.

they finished eating dinner as yuto left the Uchiha household after saying his farewells to everyone. 

he started walking home but stopped at his favorite water tower, this time jumping to the top in a single jump. he sat on the edge of the tower as his small legs dangled of the side off the tower. he pulled out his favorite chocolate bar and began to enjoy it looking over the sight of the village as the sky was now dark and the lights of stores and houses lit up the village.
