The Strongest Uchiha - Volume 1 Chapter 8 Making A Friend

Itsu couldn’t help but smile a little seeing how Hinata acts around him, he never had a girl like him in his previous life so seeing one act so shy and fl.u.s.tered because of him warmed his heart, “I was just teasing you, also a girl as pretty and as beautiful as you should be more confident”

Hearing Itsu compliment her so much made her mind go blank, steam instantly shot out from her head and she just sat there playing with her fingers at such an incredible speed that even with his sharingan Itsu doubts that he could track the movement.

“T-thank you, most people say I look weird b-because of my eyes” Hinata said that last part in a slightly sad tone, she didn’t understand why some kids her age called her wired because of her eyes, Itsu came up to Hinata and just hugged her, he looked into her eyes and spoke. “You’re not weird, we have not known each other long but I know how kind you are and in this world full of lies and deceit you are one of the few people I know who tries to stay true to them self ”

Hearing Itsu compliment her so much Hinata got happier, she was very glad with the fact that Itsu was so nice to her and thinks that she is beautiful, she promised her felt that from this day forth she would try and be more confident for Itsu.

( 1 hour later )

Time flew by while Itsu was talking to Hinata, he genuinely enjoyed spending time with her and found it pleasant to near her, but he had other things to do and he wanted his and Hinata’s relationship to develop well and even though he helped her, staying at her house too long would just be overstaying his welcome and him and Hinata had only met each other a few days ago, but there will be plenty of time to have some ‘fun’ with Hinata in the future since Itsu remembers clearly how Hinata looks when she’s older and the ‘assets’ she gains in her teen years, Itsu left the Hyuga compound with a massive smile on his face, many who saw his smile assumed he just had a good time with Hinata, only Itsu knew that his grin was not a pure one.

After leaving the compound Itsu used his sense to locate the chakra of Naruto and just like he had predicted Naruto was fast asleep wearing pyjamas and that stupid hat that he wore to bed in the anime. Itsu moves towards Naruto’s apartment and instead of coming through the doors he came in through the window since it would be faster.

He didn’t know how to wake Naruto up so he just poked him in the face a few times until he woke up, when he saw Itsu standing in his room poking his face he thought he was dreaming, but then Itsu poked him in eye so it most likely was not a dream, “Ow, why the hell did you do that for” Itsu answered Naruto’s question with his own question “Don’t you think the better question would be how I got into your apartment or why I’m in your apartment and not why did I poke you in the eyes”

Only after Itsu said that did Naruto realise that Itsu has somehow managed to find a way into his apartment, “Hey what are you doing here and why did you poke my eyes.” Itsu let out a small sigh before her spoke “I’m here to take you for some ramen and I poked your eyes to wake you up”

As soon as Itsu said ramen Naruto didn’t even bother to listen to the rest of Itsu’s sentence, he immediately got up and tried to get dressed as fast as possible, he was hopping around with one leg in his pants while trying to put the other foot inside and fell down, Itsu let out another small sigh how is it possible that this man is supposed to be not only the strongest kage but one of and if not the strongest shinobi ever. Obviously Itsu would be taking the title of strongest for himself but still it baffles him how Naruto ever managed to achieve anything.

After Naruto finally finished battling his pants (The pants won by the way) Naruto led Itsu to ichiraku ramen shop, after both him and Naruto sat down Ichiraku came up and showed a kind smile to both his customers, “What can I get you two?” Naruto answered loudly, “I will have the usual and don’t skip out on adding anything” after hearing that he smiled nodded and turned to Itsu. “And what will you have?”

Itsu was interested to try the famous ramen of legends, “I will have what my friend is having” hearing him say that both Naruto and Ichiraku froze for a moment and looked at Itsu. “What?” Itsu responded slightly confused to what’s going on, Ichiraku laughed and spoke “Nothing don’t worry, the first round is free for Naruto and his friend”

Naruto continued to stare at Itsu before responding, “Did you say I’m your friend?” Itsu then realised why both of them were shocked when he called him his friend, after all most people hate him and most parents tell their children to stay away from Naruto, now that Itsu thinks about it his parents never told him to stay away from him like others did.

Itsu just shrugged and answered, “Yeah, I’m buying you ramen and we’re hanging out, doesn’t that make us friends?” After hearing that Naruto put a massive smile on his face and laughed, “Okay well since we’re friends and you offered to pay for the ramen I hope your prepared for you wallet to cry” Itsu shrugged, his parents gave quite a generous amount of pocket money even though his is still a child and he never really spent any of it so Itsu has quite a bit and he didn’t mind using it.

After a short wait two bowls of tasty looking ramen were placed in front of the “Enjoy” said the cheerful old man with a smile on his face. Itsu started to eat and as soon as he tasted it he regretted not coming to this shop sooner, both him and Naruto ate their bowls as fast as possible, even though Itsu is a prodigy he somehow couldn’t beat the speed at which Naruto devoured his bowl, a truly frightening speed.

Now that Itsu thinks back Hinata actually could eat more bowls of ramen than Naruto and also eat it faster than him, he decided that in the future he would bring her here to see her legendary eating for himself, both Itsu and Naruto continued to eat to their hearts content, Itsu only managed to eat 3 bowls but Naruto had somehow eat 6 in the same time.

After they finished Itsu payed and both children left and started walking around the village together, along the way it was obvious that the villagers were giving them stares, Itsu even heard some of their whispers, “Why is someone as important as Itsu with a demon?” said one lady, “The demon child must have put the young Uchiha under some spell” said a man to his wife.

After a while Itsu got tired of hearing those idiots say stuff like that so he took Naruto to a secluded place and teleported both of them to the forest where his clones where training. Once they arrived Naruto didn’t even care about the fact that they were in a completely different area “Why are you being nice to me, everyone usually hates me but you bought me ramen and when you heard those villagers say mean stuff about me you took me here”

Itsu just looked at Naruto and responded calmly “Those villagers are idiots, they call you names but they don’t even understand you’re situation, but I have an idea on how to shut them up, I will train you, but before you answer I’m going to show you something”

Itsu then proceeded to show Naruto shadow clone justu, he showed him the hand signs and after 30 minutes of trying Naruto managed to make 10 clones, “Not bad for your first attempt” Itsu made 10 clones then made Naruto’s clones follow his clones for training.

“What did you just teach me?” Naruto was confused on what just happened, he did what Itsu said and made clones of himself, he didn’t even know he could do that, “It’s called shadow clone justu, it creates a physical clone of yourself that also has a small portion of your own chakra inside it, when they dispel you get all the information that the clones absorbed”.

Naruto just looked at Itsu with a confused face, “Huh?” Itsu sighed and remembered that it’s easier to show Naruto than to explain it to him “Make another clone and the real you turn around and the clone face my direction”, Naruto does what Itsu said and as soon as the real Naruto turned away Itsu punched the clone dispelling it.

“Hey why did you hit me?” Naruto asked still confused about what’s going on, “How did you know I hit you, you were looking away and I only hit you’re clone” after he said that it was as if Itsu could physically see the light bulb appearing above Naruto’s head. “Ohhh, I got the information from him”

“Do you want know something cool Naruto?”, after he said that Naruto got slightly excited to know what Itsu wanted to tell him, “That jutsu you used is classified as an A rank jutsu, to put it in short terms you learnt a high ranking justu in a short amount of time, do you know what that makes you?”

Naruto shook his head indicating that he didn’t know what that made him, Itsu once again sighed in defeat. “It makes you a genius, you may not be book smart but that’s not your fault, for someone like you it’s much easier to teach you by showing you rather than explaining”

It took Naruto a while to absorb what Itsu said to him, “Wait I’m a genius, are you sure?!” Naruto asked in excitement, “Yes, people think that just because you don’t understand when someone explains something to you that you are stupid, you aren’t it’s just that in order to teach you something you need to be shown it and not explained and learning an A rank justu in 30 minutes can only be called genius”

“I have decided to help you since I don’t like the way people call you names for no reason, the academy starts in a few months and in that time I will train you so that when it starts everyone can see your genius”
