3 Taijutsu

It was the next morning, Shinnosuke had went out the night before and got all the books out of the ground.

They were all buried as is without a storage scroll, root Ninja's searching the Uchiha compound never found anything.

There was no chakra signature to track after all.

" I have looked over the books with the Sharingan once, and memorized them completely using it's copying ability. "

Sharingan had a photographic memory associated with it, otherwise it's copying ability won't be much use at all.

It would be the equivalent of a ninja seeing every twitch in the Taijutsu users body perfectly, but then not remembering the order or what went how, that wouldn't be a very good copying ability now would it.

" Thankfully Sharingan needs to only see once to remember everything, even one tomoe has this ability, just to a smaller extent than three. "

Shinnosuke having remembered everything, destroyed the books completely right after.

He didn't want it getting into the village's hands, even if they already have the Uchiha library locked in with them, for ' safekeeping ' until I am of age.

Shinnosuke was lightly jogging around the yard with Sasuke as he thought of his plans for himself

' My genjutsu training will make sure I can master everything Uchiha without anyone being the wiser, Shurikenjutsu, Kenjutsu, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu even Genjutsu, I can practice them all and actually make progress. '

There was only one thing stopping Shin from performing in reality what he would be learning in genjutsu.

" My body needs to be strong enough. "

Shinnosuke concluded out loud, which caused Sasuke to look over and grunt as a response.

Shinnosuke stopped jogging after a while, took a breather, then got down on flat ground and began doing push ups, he was finished with the warm up, Sasuke following him with the same.

' My body needs to be strong enough to translate everything in genjutsu to reality, it needs to keep up with my Sharingan vision as well. '

And so Shinnosuke had decided, he will focus majorly in Taijutsu whenever he trains in reality.

' I will spend time honing my body in real life, and then rest my body and hone my mind in genjutsu. '

Shinnosuke had created the perfect plan, he will be training in the most optimal way using this, both his body and mind will get sufficient rest, he will be pushing neither to the breking point but will improve all the same.

' The rate at which I am going, I will be better than Jonin in a few years, I will be elite Jonin with everything Uchiha down pat. '

Shinnosuke never underestimated the rate at which he can learn in the genjutsu world, he would be practicing daily, for years, with evey terrain imaginable.

Even his chakra never ran there, what people could do in decades would be shortened to years by him using a focused way of training.

' As they say, do smart work nor hard work. '

After Shinnosuke trained some more and finished his morning routine, he went to the academy with Sasuke.

" Good morning Shin kun! "

" Good morning Ino. "

Shinnosuke nodded to Ino as he sat besides her, she began talking and he began responding.

As they went back and forth, something similar was going on with Sasuke and Saukra, but it was just Sakura blabbering to Sasuke and him ignoring her completely.

But there was one more person who wanted to ask Shinnosuke how he was, but simply couldn't get the courage to do so.

' Shinnosuke kun... '

Hinata murmered with a low voice, Shin didn't hear it, quite obviously.

But he didn't need to hear It as fate decided to give Hinata her chance to talk with Shinnosuke.

" Class, today will be matchups again! "

" Yahooo! Alright! "

Naruto yelled, looking over once towards him for disturbing him, Iruka continued with a smile on his face.

" I hope you all are ready, these monthly matches count towards your graduation score. "

As everyone made their way towards the training grounds, the matches began.

" Naruto vs Sasuke "

Amongst the Sasuke cheers and Naruto boos the game came to an end, Naruto did put up a fight, but Sasuke was actually somewhat trained, unlike Naruto who was getting through using his talent alone with nobody to teach him.

" Next game, Shinnosuke vs Hinata "

Hinata was flushed! She couldn't even gather enough courage to ask Shinnosuke how he was, how was she to fight him?

' Gulp.. it's alright, it's just a spar. I can ask Shinnosuke kun how he is after this. Yes. '

Hinata made her way with shaky steps, which were hid from everyone due to her baggy pants.

* Gulp *

Gulping once more Hinata fought the urge to run away, as the audience became active!

Shinnosuke received his share of cheers as well, but Hinata didn't recieve any boos like Naruto did.

Not that it helped, she was still a blushing mess standing before Shinnosuke.

" How have you been Hinata? Sorry I couldn't ask these days, my mood was a little down. "

Hearing Shinnosuke talk to her like normal, she was really happy, so she quickly tried to give a response.

" I.. shin kun.. I "

* Bam *

And Hinata fell down, Shin having already expected this had caught her before she hit the ground.

Smiling wryly Iruka announced the match.

He knew this would happen when Shin and Hinata were paired together.

' The girl doesn't like to fight in general, but with Shin she is a total blushing mess, sigh.. '

" Next "

Iruka called as he saw Shinnosuke taking the Hyuga heiress under a tree shade to wake her up.

Ino had meanwhile come along running and was trying to wipe hinata with a wet towel.

Shin stopped his attempts and let Ino do her work.

He wasn't surprised by any of this.

He had met Hinata one day when she was crying under a tree, she wasn't able to tell him what made her cry but he wasn't a naive kid, calming her down and giving her motivation wasn't much of a problem for him.

' From that day I seem to have replaced Naruto's future instance of bravery for her. She finds a support in me, after all nobody else truly gives her one. '

Giving a small smile to Hinata as she was waking up, Shinnosuke decided he would talk to her this entire class.

People like her want to say many things but can't, if I at least keep talking to her, her lonely mind will get some much needed help.

And Shin himself was currently experiencing loss, if he could, he would help her not feel the same loneliness.

" That's what happened! "

" I I see.. "

Hinata gave a small smile as she kept listening to Shin talk.

Ino was meanwhile just watching Shinnosuke.

Understanding his thoughts.

' He always does this, they both have this tactic understanding where she doesn't speak and he does.. I am pissed.. why can't Shin have that with me..! '

But Ino knew he was simply cheering her up, so she didn't brood and joined in the talks.

Just like that the day of academy was over.

One day less until graduation, one more day of training done.

From building relationships to his increasing personal power, Shinnosuke was progressing day by day. It won't be long before Uchiha clan shines again via Shinnosuke Uchiha.
