A tall man stood in front of me, His dark hair cascaded down his face, His eyes gleaned, creating a mesmerizing darkness, Fugaku spoke, " Congratulations on winning the championship "
He wasn't much older than me, about three- four years at maximum, However the stress lines on his face made him age ten more years.
' Itachi must have gotten that from him ' .
" Thank you " I replied back to the man.
My expression turned a tad bit confused, " Why have you asked for a meeting Mr Fugaku ? " I asked trying to be as respectful as I could be.
' When one who stands in front of you can silence you in a single strike...It's best to talk with respect ' I thought looking at his stoic face.
He seemed to have turned even more serious as he soon questioned, " Are you a friend of shisui? Kagami " He spoke authoritatively.
I nodded," Of course I am, why ? " I spoke... I couldn't quite guess the intentions of the man in front of me.
" Well then, Listen, The Uchiha's have been in a war against land of water since the start " His stoic face flickered for a bit, " Multiple of our genins have lost their life due to some mysterious attacker " .
He fixed his gaze on me, " I hope you will join the battle field with Shisui amongst the Uchiha troupes " .
' What ? ' I thought puzzled and shocked.
'Me ?'
But it made sense when I thought from his perspective as a clan leader.
' The strength of my bond gets measured as well as a future ally is joined with the clan ' .
After all, My recent progress must have caught the eye of some people.
Looking at shisui, I could tell he too was shocked, The boy must have no idea what his teacher planned.
" Its not much of a problem for me, I will join him...However I expect you know battlefield posting isn't anywhere close to my level of authority...So it depends on wether you can convince the Hokage " .
He smirked, it wasn't really a smirk, Just a small up by his lips, " Leave that to me..I consider this as you joining him ?" .
I nodded, ' Now, say the magic words Fugaku ' I thought while smiling inside.
' The Uchiha's are not poor, They reward just as generously as they love ' .
" of course, this said request won't be without reimbursement " His gruff voice remained neutral.
That was the end of the meeting, Apparently he had some meetings to attend and I had a whole day with nothing to do.
Shisui spoke, " Trust me when I say this, I really had no idea " He spoke,It was clear he might have misinterpreted it as him tricking me.
" Shisui, I know " These were all the words we needed to know that we were good.
' It feels wierd bring friends with a seven year old ' .
" What will you be doing now Kagami ? " he asked.
" Nothing much, Practice " I replied back.
" I have a mission to do with my team-mates, So I will be joining them, I would have practiced if I had time " he spoke apologetically.
I just ruffled his hair, " Still stuck on D-rank missions" I laughed teasing him.
It was the most universal feeling in the ninja world about how trash D-rank missions were.
Especially when one comes out ninja school hoping for world ending battles...only to end up cutting grass on some land lady's porch.
Shisui 's expression soured at that," I will be going to war very soon you know...Then we will have same rank missions " He spoke thinking he gave some very wonderful retort.
' Ah...the war ' I thought looking at him, ' Land of Iron must have already showed him the cruelty of A conflict on the scale of civil war ' ..
' But he has no idea, the blood seap in true war.' .
It's good I was going with him.
" I am gonna be late so bye bye " he spoke hurriedly and ran away in a flicker.
Making my way outside of the Clan heads residence, I went back to my bungalow.
It's mystic and ancient aesthetic making it look better than the clan head's house in my perspective.
' One thing my father did good was build this house ' I thought however I soon felt a small wave of sadness, ' Atleast the father in this life..'
I shook my head, Dispelling any thoughts of sadness, War was imminent, ,Even with my current capabilities, It still isn't enough, I needed to practice even harder.
Making my way inside, I quickly started knitting hand seals.
' Shadow clone jutsu '
The B-rank jutsu was easier to do than the previous time, In a jiffy, a clone eerily similar to me was standing in front of me.
' Perhaps my hair has grown far too long ' I thought looking at the ponytail I was currently adorning.
" So, what do I have to do " he spoke looking at me.
" lightening " One word was all we needed to communicate, Our thoughts process alike.
He nodded and quickly plucked a handful of leaves to train in seclusion.
I too started plucking a few leaves, in a minutes my hand was filled with multiple leaves.
Putting them on the ground, I picked one up, " Let's see if today is the day " I spoke while slowly gathering my chakra.
' What is lightening ? ' I thought, ' It is the difference in charges in the atmosphere ' .
However that wasn't something I could will my chakra to do...I didn't yet have such good elemental control.
' What could be one way to easily learn lightening ' .
I quickly thought of multiple things I could do to understand lightening better.
' First let's try imagining rubbing my chakra like sheets, electrifying it' I flowed my chakra on the leaf.
' let's see, Focus, Imagine to materials rubbing against each other ' I thought while shaping to small sheets of chakra and quickly repeating against one another.
The leaf didn't move a inch, It's vitality as it mocking me.
' Let's keep trying ' .
That was what I said about an hour before... the leaf was still nowhere near crumpling.
' I think I have a theory ' .
I wondered if the Imaging of lightening is different for every body..and as long the core principal applied, It can be used to bring it forth.
For example, Water can be imagined as integrating the different hydrogen and oxygen together, Or imagining a flow, Or feeling the moisture in the air and recreating it .
' Chakra is all about imaging and wonder...What I imagine, It becomes' .
' I think I need to experience lightening ' Knowing that I had Two lightening jutsu with me, It was a plausible theory.
Especially If I wish to learn it quicker.
" I remember the family of Raikage's also learning their technique of thunderstorm filled mountains " I muttered.
Knitting hand signs, I flowed my chakra through the predetermined pathways.
' Lightening style - Lightening arc ' The jutsu was D-rank..The lightening bolt it threw out was also very small and perhaps wouldn't even do much damage.
' Let's reduce the chakra output ', reducing the chakra i flowed into the jutsu,I quickly lessen it's intensity.
I quickly aimed it at myself and shooted the jutsu.
" Argh" I shouted holding myself together, My nerves felt as if they were on fire.
' I would cause never damage if I did this recklessly.'
However I could feel it, To understand lightening, I needed to feel it.
It was numbing and sharp, The pain was intense however it lasted for second.
' I can somewhat imagine how to feel my chakra ' .
Thinking about the lightening I just felt, I quickly tried crumpling the leaf once again.
' It...somewhat worked' My chakra produced one flicker of lightening before disappearing.
I tried it again and again, Slowly improving with each activation of chakra.
' It seems I still have a long way to go ' .
My chakra clone burst at the same moment, providing me his experience of the casting.
' He hadn't come to the theory like I did,However his practice still helped ' .
It seemed as if the grind never stopped.

...
In a dark room, A small flip of pages could be heard, A long list of form were stacked up, A man sitting at the table was flipping through the stacks of sheet.
His white eye patch clearly showed that he was blind however that was far from the case, His eyes were cold and cruel and his expression calculating .
The sheets consisted of different ninjas, Preferably lower than Jonin's for the purpose of a secret ninja organization - Root .
The pages stopped flipping, Landing at one sheet filled with information.
