Chapter 28 Tricking a Bro-con

MC POV

A few months have passed, ever since I went around collecting blood from a few Uchiha kids, that were easy targets.

During that time, I became six years old.

This also meant, that I had to attend another of Naruto's birthday party.

Ugh, it was quite the thing. Just thinking about it, is giving me PTSD!

Ramen...It was ramen. We had ramen at Ichiraku's...I am truly getting sick of ramen.

The little b*stard even made me pay 3 bowl of ramen for him, it is quite cheap but there's a limit to my tolerance!

Thankfully, the 3rd didn't come this time.

Maybe he gave up on trying to analyze me, or he was busy with the Uchihas or some other thing.

(But what exactly could have made him miss the birthday party this time....what did happen in the story around this time...hm...)

Now that I think of it the kidnapping of Hinata Hyuga was...when exactly?

Whatever! I will get to her one day and her sister. I am still not strong enough to get involved in that mess.

I'm thinking of the chunin exams or during the invasion. But if I choose to do it during the chunin exams, I have to watch out for Shino...he is an Aburame. These guys are actually quite dangerous and their jutsus are quite the mystery. As for Kiba...nah, he is pretty weak. But I have to take him down quickly because of his sharp sense of smell.

But really I should be doing that when she is alone or unguarded otherwise, I will fail.

Just hope by then, I will be able to use my sharingan or swift release.

I have tried to use them many times but got no way to make either work.

I know that the sharingan has to do with trauma or something...I don't want to give myself traumas. I'm just not that brave or too lazy to try, also it sounds pretty stupid when you hear it out loud.

- Let's get traumatized!....Yep! Stupid indeed.

So....there's little progress on that front.

-*sigh*

To be honest the older I get the more insecure I feel.

I feel that these days of my life will be replaced with fighting and danger but I like living more...besides in some way the fighting already started.

I have been fighting against Sasuke.

Well not "me" exactly but "Itsuki Uchiha".

Does a Uchiha Itsuki actually exist?

Dunno, The Uchiha clan's site is very big place. There might be an Itsuki over there but I don't know him.

I actually chose a name that name because of an other Uchiha brat I fought against in the past, when I was going around and hunting for blood. The name was close enough from the brat's and since he was a loner, there's a chance for adults to think that the kids misheard the name.

It's the same orphan that I got the shirt that I wear when I pretend to be an Uchiha. He was also pretty weak when compared to most but stronger than Takao was originally, to be fair Takao's about 2 years younger but still he was the weakest person I have met so far.

Regardless of all that, the kid was the same size as me and everything...to think that if I didn't train I'd been just like him *shudder*.

But thankfully Sasuke didn't know him at all, so he wasn't confused or asked any questions...I don't think he actually knows almost any of the other kids from his clan.

I looked for Sasuke but not in the Uchiha compound, I'm not that crazy! Thankfully my knowledge of the anime saved me a bunch.

It was easy to find Sasuke, he trains in one of the Uchiha training grounds alone, pretty sad if you think about it. That guy never had any friends...no wonder he became like how he did in the anime. His family and just a few other people that he is on friendly terms with, like Shisui are his whole world.

Even among all the Uchihas I've met, he might be biggest loner of them all.

So I dyed my hair black fully, slicked it back and put on my shirt with the Uchiha Crest logo that I got from the brat I beat up (this sounds messed up in so many levels). And lastly, put on a pair of goggles to hide my eyes.

Everything was done to make myself less and less recognizable to others as much as possible, I even changed my voice to resemble the guy I am trying to impersonate. It was possible, thanks to supercomputing skill...it is truly a terrifying skill, really glad I chose it...but I think I could have chosen better still, sadly it is too late now.

This is all the preparations I have to make when dealing with Sasuke, but honestly it's a pain in the ass to have to go through all that.

I tried to challenge him but after a few minutes it was clear that I was outmatched, if not for the

super computing skill I would have lost immediately.

But no matter how much you anticipate a punch to the face, if you can't move in time, you're still getting punched in the face.

In the end I lost. I lost badly.

The guy seems to actually know a bit how to fight and was faster than me.

....this was good experience for me too, because turns out I don't know jack sh*t about fighting! This world fight*ng style is totally different from what I was used to...sh*t! Damn you Guy! If you'd teach me for real I wouldn't have been so humiliated! (Sorry Takao. I took your money away for nothing but I'm not giving you a refund, because I've already used up most of your money. )

Seems like all I was ever in before were little kids squabbles, not worth much against a prodigy.

There's so much exercising can help you in a fight!

That is when I came to an epiphany.

How do you win a fight?

Good genes, I guess?

In this world of shinobis, genetics are everything!

...unless you are Might Guy, which I am not.

So I tried using tactics to get his hair samples instead.

But that didn't go so well. I fought him 3 times after that.

Got beat up.

And got almost nothing!

And, I can't even try to beat him up with all I got...because he is itachi's precious little brother.

A scar or any visible injury would be putting the guy on my trail. Life can be so harsh sometimes, but the little f*cker will pay soon enough, when I become stronger.

So regardless of my feelings, I had to be creative. Actually I have had the idea a longtime ago...but couldn't use it due to reasons.

I remembered that from watching the anime, that Sasuke around this age, likes to practice shurikenjutsu.

I trained myself at shurikenjutsu with the support of my super computing skill and got way better at it.

I also used super computing to decipher and write Shisui's technical nonsense in an easier manner to understand and made a bet with Sasuke.

Every time he beats me, he gets more pages, I have lost about 6 times now.

At first he beat me fair and square, but after the second time I made sure to beat him and lost. However, after that I let him beat me without putting too much of a resistance, in order to let him gain more and more confidence and easily accept my challenges.

But today I intend to go full out.

- So you came to lose again, huh! (Sasuke)

- it's going to be different this time Saucesuke!

-...hmph, whatever! A loser like you could never better beat me! I've got itachi-nii san to train me.(Sasuke)

- Sure...whatever you say. And just, where is your precious Itachi-nii san? Because to me you seem to always be alone...Oh no! Saucesuke! D-did you...did you make him up? So, so sad...hahaha!

- Bastard! I-I, y-you just don't know him because you are just too stupid and a nobody. Everyone in the clan knows how great Itachi-niisan is!(Sasuke)

-I know of an Itachi. But I just don' t think you two are related, since I heard he was a super genius. The same 1 that graduated after a single year at the academy. That itachi?...Never heard of him having a brother though. You must not be all that great, since I never heard of you.

- What! Y-you! big words from a loser! And I am as talented as my brother!!! (Sasuke)-Answered Sasuke with rage within his eyes.

It was clear that this outburst came from a source somewhere far deeper in his psyche than me taunting him.

- Take it easy Saucesuke-kun, let's say we make a final bet. If you win, you get it all the pages I have left. How does that sound to you?

-Deal! I am tired of a loser like you always pestering me, anyways. This time, at least I will have you stay away from me for good!(Sasuke)

- Don't you want to hear what I want if I win?

-No need! As if you'd ever beat me!(Sasuke)

- sure...

Boy! I really must have touched a nerve.

(Good. He took the bait....so easy to manipulate. No wonder he got played by almost everyone in the original canon.)

The way he glanced back at me reminded me a bit of the adult Sasuke from the manga...but sort

of also funny, because he is a kid and doesn't know how to try to scare people.

After that little debacle, we started our little shurikenjutsu matchup.

This time it was a 5 rounds match, with different targets to aim for all over the forest.
