3 Wake up to Reality

-A day before the Academy Begins-

Haou POV: Timeskip

It was just another day of training for me I had gotten a bit used to using mokuton, my chakra control is progressing at an okay rate, taijutsu could still use some work considering how underdeveloped this body was before I took over, and my genjutsu needed to be more perfect but for now I am doing all right with.

Academically I was doing good the subjects at the civilian library were truly refreshing I never got to enjoy the simpler things in my old world, so I now had a couple of hobbies such as drawing, growing plants, reading, wood sculpting, and cooking all of which I learned from a couple of tutorial books however drawing and wood sculpting is a skill that takes time to cultivate.

Currently, I was on top of a training log with my eyes closed I jumped up throwing the wooden kunai's in my hands in different directions several thuds were heard I landed back down my eyes opened with a glint each kunai had landed on a bullseye

I let out a sigh of relief I had done it yes, I replicated Itachis kunai throwing skill the problem was I had to do it multiple times before I could do it right, man, Itachi really was a monster even as a teenager.

I bent down and took a sip of some water from my bottle I swiped the sweat off my face and began walking away from the training field truth be told I don't really care if people know I have mokuton, after all, there is no Danzo or Sarutobi what could go wrong.

I went down to the center of the village where most of the shopping center was and with the money, I had I went on ahead inside a snack shop and there I saw the last box of the black tea flavored pocky my favorite.

I licked my lips already imagining the taste I was going to touch the box when my hand clashed with another I let out a grunt of confusion I looked up and saw a girl with black familiar hair, black eyes, and red glasses I narrowed my nah uh no one gets in the way of my precious no matter who they are hell I don't even care if they were the main character I let out a sadistic smile

"Oi little girl be a dear and let go of my box of pocky please" the girl narrowed her eyes "Cha no way I saw this first no way will I let this go and who are you calling little were about the same age hmph" I glared persistent little shit aren't you I thought as I began to enhance my hand with chakra the girl saw this her eyes widen before I suddenly ripped the box away from her hand she glares angrily

"Hey give it back I got it first " I raised my hand above her head she tried jumping up and down trying to get it back honestly it was hilarious but now I am starting to get irritated "look girl let's make a bet" she stops only to speak up "My name is not girl its Sarada Uchiha" I had a bored look on my face before I gave my name as well "Haou Sado" she nods before asking "So what's the bet?"

I let out a chuckle "Well Uchiha since you are a part of a shinobi clan, I suggest a taijutsu spar winner takes the last pocky deal?" she thinks about it before extending her hand for a shake which I gladly did so surprisingly they were rather delicate and soft no matter it's time for battle.

-Skip to a random training ground insert Minato Battle theme-

We were at a random field the wind was intense as we glared at each other the leaves danced in the air and in a flash, we were at each other throats Sarada tries to punch my face. I redirected her hand back down and kicked her in the chin and followed up with a hard kick to her side she lets out a grunt of pain and takes out two kunai and reverse grip seeing this I took out my own.

Once again we clashed anytime she aimed for my face with the kunai I would parry, get in her guard, and scratch her with my own wooden kunai of course that didn't me she didn't get her own few punches in which was an impressive feat by itself but I had enough of wasting my time with this fight so I charged my foot with chakra and with a mighty jump I tackled her sending her crashing into the floor she tries to get up but

I was quick to wrap her hands around her back she grunted in pain I leaned down to her face "So you going to give up yet princess?" I asked in a surprising teasing tone her face turned hot red I thought it was out of frustration, so I didn't really pay attention to it.

She composed herself a bit before smirking huh why is she smirking suddenly her left foot shot forward from behind toward my head I sensed it alright problem was that there wasn't enough time to fucking doge. Next thing I know I end up in her place with her on top of me which was enough to make me blush stop it Haou you're a 28 year old man.

I put my focus back on Sarada who was smirking arrogantly "Well Sado-san looks like I win" I merely looked at her with a calm face "Is that what you think?" I asked as her faced morphed into one of confusion. Smiling, I lifted my right hand to the left her eyes widen when she sees another version of myself right next to her with not even a scratch on him looking back down my current body disappears in a burst of crows.

I placed a wooden kunai near her neck "It's over" I said coldly watching her clench her fists "You cheated!! This was supposed to be a pure taijutsu battle" Sarada exclaimed. "You are correct I did say that this would be a taijutsu fight but I never specified what you could or could not do in the fight." I said putting the kunai away before walking away from her, but I stopped for second "Oh and just you know that was barely my full power so if you ever want to beat me than go get stronger" I said before finally leaving the training ground.
