Chapter 28: Sasuke [28]

--Third Person's POV--

As Raiden walks into the sparring grounds near the back of the academy with the rest of his class, most of the class starts to get pumped up and talk even louder than before. The sparring grounds were the shape of a rectangle with a circle in the middle to indicate the boundaries of where the spars would be taking place. They were joined by our teacher who introduced himself as Hanaki Narunso at the start of the academy. The four corners of the sparring grounds had multiple wooden stumps usually used for taijutsu practise.

It has now been a few months since they started the academy and Hanaki wanted to teach them a few katas to learn as they progress through the years. They weren't gonna be any spars though as it's just unnecessary fighting at this stage where they aren't efficient with any katas and that no kids at this age has fully mastered a taijutsu style.

Only if they knew...

Hanaki Narunso walking in front of the bustling crowd of kids starts to hold out a scroll.

"Today we will be seeing your physical limits, so to start us off before we try to learn any katas we will be ingraining into ourselves, as a whole group we will keep doing laps around the grounds untill you get tired and aren't able to keep going forward. Do try your best though and aim for around 3-4 laps." Hanaki says in a clear voice to the kids.

"Everybody start to lineup next to the entrance door."

The entire classroom including Raiden made their way to the beginning and after a few minutes of waiting Hanaki started the count down and everyone started to run at the start with a few kids leading the initial start.

Two boys with distinct features can be seen in the lead with one of them having black onyx eyes while the other having two red triangles on his cheeks. While this was happening right behind them could be seen Raiden and Hinata chatting and keeping up with the two people in front without difficulty.

Five laps later, only five kids remained. These include Raiden, Hinata, Sasuke, Kiba and Choji.

"Hinata are you doing alright?" Raiden can be heard asking Hinata while looking perfectly fine. Hinata is currently still looking okay but with a little bit of sweat nods as a response while focusing up making Raiden chuckle.

"That guy looks like he hasn't ran at all!" A random kid shouts.

"Yeah he looks perfecty fine!" Another kid calls out.

Slowly but surely the race wore down most of them untill only Raiden remained.

Raiden deciding it's a good time to stop, finishing up his final lap before heading towards the rest of his class who are currently in awe at how many laps he did.

Raiden walking up to the class makes his way next to a certain Uchiha boy.

"You did pretty well in the run, my names Raiden Shimura. What's yours?" Raiden tells the panting Uchiha who is currently one the floor groaning.

"Thanks, you did pretty good yourself. My names Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke responds by getting on his feet.

"Wanna partner up for the kata training? You're probably one of the strongest guys in the class." Sasuke hearing this nods not seeing anything bad about this setup.

Hanaki after the laps were settled started to teach everyone who didn't know any taijutsu katas the basics of the academies one while telling anyone who did have one to quitely practise their own clans taijutsu by themselves or with a partner of the same gender. So Sasuke hearing Raidens offer agrees as he sees Raiden as a decently strong guy from a clan.

Raiden and Sasuke parted ways with the rest of the class with Hinata finding a partner called Ino Yamanaka.

"Have you wondered around the village much." Raiden asks curiously while kicking a wooden stump. Knowing that the Uchiha clan were at their peak of civilian hate right now besides the aftermath of the Kyubi attack, Sasuke shouldn't be out much unless he's with his family.

"I have a little bit with my Nii-san and mum for dango and shopping, but other than that not really." Sasuke respond while giving a different wooden stump a quick punch.

"Is the dango shop you go to great? I've been trying to find one." Raiden says groaning.

Raiden has spent quite a few hours visiting a few stalls without any luck on "the one" as people like to call them. Sasuke hearing this starts to giggle as he converses more with Raiden making a more friendly vibe in their area.

This went one for a few more hours until the whole class went back to the classroom as Hanaki started to round everybody up. Everyone in the class was able to at least learn about three quarters of the katas while some were able to memorise all of the moves, the only thing the kids took away though was that they needed to improve their physiques more as they got tired easily.

--POV Raiden--

"Cya man!" I called out to Sasuke as he walked towards his brother while waving back.

'Damn that's scary as fuck, I'm not after Sasuke bro I don't swing that way. I cant say the same for Ashura's reincarnation though.' I think to myself as I see Itachi stare at me seeing who his brother's new "friend" is.

Ignoring Itachi's stare I make my way back to Hinata as she has also made some friends with other clan kids. This whole day was pretty boring besides the part where I talked with Sasuke. I mean who wouldn't have fun talking to a guy who might be a crazy edgelord after your ass in the future right?

My plan on befriending him overtime before graduating seems to be going fine as I'm slowly interacting with him becoming his genuine friend, he's is actually a nice kid who doesn't intrude on my personal space every five seconds. So I actually spent a decent amount of time just talking about normal stuff like our favourite foods and some things we can relate to.

Fuck I might save the guy myself if I'm really feeling like it in the future, but I will probably let him get corrupted by Orichimaru for the fact that I need that damn snakes attention away from Konoha for the whole time skip as I want to prepare myself for the war and Nagato.

No offence to Sasuke, he seems like a nice guy. But having a snake that was able to invade Konoha once to put a seal on a kid and get petty revenge on an old guy, isn't something I want hovering over the village to be honest with you.

Walking through the crowd of kids I spot Hinata talking to another girl that I remember to be Ino Yamanaka.

A very out going girl with a very bright personality.

Next to both of them are Ko Hyuga who is Hinata's body guard while Ino's father is also here to pick his daughter up. Going up to Hinata I quickly gave her a goodbye and a hug while greeting both the daughter and father duo.

After this short interaction I signal for Bird to body flicker me home.
