2 Chapter 2: Prince Sasuke and System?
--------1st person POV----------
I've woken up to lavish furniture and red/gold fabric everywhere. I don't know why but I'm a baby again. Not like I remember the first time but I clearly remember what happened in the clan compound. My anger still bubbles up when I think of that, and I thought I could finally see mom again.

"Uwah?" 'huh'
Something just made a weird sound. What system?
[20%..

100%...Welcome host!]
'What is going on? I can hear these sounds in my head'
[Host, It seems you are unfamiliar with the situation and my basic functions. As a simple tutorial to you, I will briefly go over this with you. When you stabbed yourself in the heart, death was inevitable. However a soul inside you didn't want you to live such a short and awful life, so the soul called on its father and together sent you here to be reborn with me. Host, I suggest you say 'Status']
'Um okay? Uh S-status'

'So according to the System, someone took pity on me and sent me to a different world? You can do that? But that means I'll never see my mother in the afterlife...another world huh. I don't want a big brother anymore! I'll be the biggest! I don't need anyone's PITY!
Squeak* The Door opens with a woman walking in.
"Oh you're awake" A woman looks at me warmly. "And you're even evaluating me, perhaps you became too much like your father Ozai. Well, let me introduce myself to the prince." She semi bows and continues, "My name is Ursa, I'm your mother silly, hehehe" She giggles at her own antics which also brings a smile to my face as a laugh too.
She comes over and picks me up in her arms and feeds me a bottle.
"Oh child, I can only hope you have a good life. We are fire nation royalty but also just a regular family. I want you to only see the best of the world, but we are the ones making the world worse. And you will, unfortunately, have to take that burden."
...
'.. Ursa huh'. My family is dead and if I have to live another life with these people then I'll live it! Don't worry about me because from now on, I'll be the strongest! No one will ever compare me to someone and think I'm weaker. And if anyone gets in my way, I'll take a page out of Itachi's book…
---TimeSkip 2 years---
I tried everything but I can't seem to feel my chakra. I can feel something there that's very similar but I just can't figure out how to use it! Dang! How did I even breathe fire last time?! Sigh…
I look a lot like I used to but with straight hair. The back of my head isn't pointy anymore. In fact, I look more like my murderous brother but with golden eyes instead of my usual black ones.
Other than that, Ursa spends a lot of time with me. I don't acknowledge her, but at least she acts like a mother. My supposed father Ozai has been busy since I was born. He only visits sometimes then leaves, but that might explain the bulge Ursa has been walking around with. It seems I will get a new sibling.
I can't understand women. They are either crazy fangirls like pink-haired or are moms. Even my family before was like this current family. Maybe that's the proper transition from child to adult for women?
In the meantime, I've been figured out the language, talking at 6 months old and I've been walking around since I was 1 year old. That earned me much praise from the elders of the clan. I think they are called fire sages or something?
Anyways, my family goes on trips every year to this place called Ember Island. Not much to do there but cloud watch and skip rocks. I think I understand why that one spiky-haired kid in the class liked to go up to the roof now.
One day, I saw a group of young teenagers training in one of the campgrounds. It looks like they are practicing their taijutsu forms. Hmm.
'It's very different from the Uchiha style taijutsu but not in a bad way. It's like they are channeling something…'
"Hm?" ???
Someone noticed me watching.
"Attention! Everyone, greet the young prince!"
"Good morning, young prince!" everyone said in a 45-degree bow.
(A/N: Should I use young prince or young master here? What do my readers think? I'm going to change it later though)
...
"What are you guys doing?" After a few seconds, I replied. My curiosity in their taijutsu needs to be satiated. I can't be strong without training, and I don't know who to ask about this energy inside.
"We are practicing the basic fire forms, young prince."
"And what use does this have?"
"The basic forms help develop a strong foundation for our nation's new fire benders, and drill into them the concept of 'light as a leaf, heavy as iron'."
"Fire benders?"
"Hm? Have you not seen a firebender in action before, young prince?" The man takes a second and twirls his mustache in thought. Gross.
"Perhaps a demonstration then. Chu! Shen!"
"Sir!" Two guys step forward. One tall and one short.
"Have a spar to demonstrate what you have learned," said the instructor.
"Sir!" They say in quick acknowledgment.
The trainees make a small, three-sided square to surround them, leaving me space to see the action. They soon take a stance in front of each other while the Instructor stands next to me.
"Begin!"
Short one lunges first with a heavy step and sends a fist out and What! Fire explodes from his fist straight to the tall one! I'm the only one shocked, it seems as if the tall one was expecting it. He braces for it and makes a circular motion, summoning his own fire and canceling it out. He jumps to the side quickly counter-attacking. This makes the short one roll out of the way and they make their way closer and closer for hand-to-hand combat. The shorter one is faster but the taller one is a lot stronger. Soon the short one lost his balance due to the tall ones over the head double hammer fist, taking a step even closer, the tall one sends a powerful uppercut to his opponent's chin! The short one looks like he was still paralyzed from the last hit but he somehow reacts to the punch by following the motion and kicks the tall one in a fluid backflip.
"UGH!"
They both hit the ground with different levels of injuries but it's clear who was the winner.
"What do you think, young prince?" Said the instructor with a small smile. He is proud but I could handle these guys even in my old life's 8-year-old body.
"What is your name?" I said.
The instructor's smile grows even bigger with my question and immediately bows again.
"My name is Yi, young prince!"
"Hm. Teach me the forms Yi, I want to learn how to fire bend." was what I replied with.
