AN: Be warned! There's a lot of time skip in this chapter due to the author not wanting to focus on the academy.

Konoha playground

1 month later

Morning

In the forest where no one can see me, I am a few distance from the playground where a lot of kids my age are playing.

Besides the fact that both my parents are encouraging me to also play and find friends, I also needed the space and correct settings for my next part of training.

Water walking and substitution jutsu.

Water walking was not easy to get but I succeeded nonetheless. It was inevitable anyway, with the amount of chakra I have, even Sakura the famously known useless character have great control due to scarce amount of her chakra, so why can't I?

I refuse to be useless than the useless character!!!

Though I haven't mastered it yet, I can at least last for a few hours before running out of chakra while running or performing the 3 basic ninjutsu.

My next goal now was to train the substitution jutsu. According to the scroll substitution is jutsu where you replace your body with a block of woood or some other object, the moment an attack lands.

This is where an optical illusion is deployed making the enemy think the attack was succesful.

It's like a combination of clone and transformation jutsu.

A block of wood is transformed into a clone of you that reverts back to its original state once an attack lands.

Only one question though.

Where the hell does the block of wood comes from?

I tried the jutsu once to satiate my curiosity, luckily not walking on water, the hand signs was composed of 5 seals only, so weave them after throwing a rock above me.

Ram-Boar-Ox-Dog-Snake

That was the part where I should've reviewed the scrolls first!

Before the rock returned and hit my head, my body was ejected from my clothes and I was bare naked yet the clothes where I was ejected from still has me wearing it.

Once the rock hit the head of me (the substitute), it turned into my clothes only and dropped on the ground while I was safe from a distance.

Question.

Where the hell is the block of wood?!

I immediately ran after my clothes and put them back on.

Taking the scroll from my pocket, I browsed the part where it mentions how to train the substitution jutsu and found my answer.

Either I store a block of wood in a sealed scroll in my pouch or I simply use something on me, just like my clothes which was triggered since I didn't have any block of wood or even a sealed scroll.

Fucking shit!

Why didn't I read that first!??

Anyway that was what happened during the 1 month skip.

And now I was once again in the same forest where no one could disturb me as I enter a state I discovered last month.

Yes, the state where my perception, senses and thought process are all enhanced.

I can maintain the state for as long as 30 mins before running out of spiritual energy which in case you asked is twice as large as my chakra reserves.

My physical energy? I don't know -_-

The fucker won't even budge no matter what I do, all I know is that it is consumed whenever I do any of my exercises.

Well the part where the scroll called it stamina might answer why I can't control it like I did with the spiritual energy.

You can't really manipulate stamina but you can control how much you spend right?

So I've given up on that and focused on my spiritual energy.

Another skip

2 months later

3 months before my baby sister is born, 5 months before I enroll in the academy.

I celebrated my birthday yesterday.

I was now 7 years old.

Quick facts and timeline check

The main characters of the world are 2 years younger than me which meant that I was 1 year ahead of Team Gai.

I had the 3 basic ninjutsu down and mastered by now, though I don't know if I was faster than clan members who probably already know them too.

The special state which I now called the shuchu state, I can now maintain for at least 2 hours which is not bad If I do say so myself.

[AN: Shuchu means concentrate or focus. If you have a better suggestion, keep it to yourself or write your own book XD]

One thing I stopped doing though is further expanding my knowledge in medical ninjutsu.

But since I was already done the entirety of the scroll. My remaining 5 months will be dedicated to medical ninjutsu.

That doesn't mean cutting back on what I already know. I will continue improving everything, from increasing my reserves, perfecting my chakra control, mastering the 3 basic jutsu until 1 hand or no hand seal is needed, increasing the duration of shuchu state, and maybe enjoying my the company of my soon to be born baby sister.

Her name was shiori...

My baby sister...

I had a brother in my past life but, ever since our parents passed away and we both entered adulthood, we barely had time to bond.

The first time I laid my eyes on my sister, I don't know what came over me, but there was this feeling of wanting to protect this fragile thing.

As if my heart would break just seeing her hurt even just a little. Is this what they call brotherly love?

I know what a siscon is and I don't intend to be one. But being protective of your younger sibling is perfectly normal right?

As much as I was excited to attend the academy was probably how much I was disappointed at what was taught at the beginning.

As soon as I saw the currculum, I knew it was gonna be a very boring time of my life.

The core curricum were reading (which I already knew and no, its not considered genius in the civilian families but something normal),writing (I also know how hence the notes I copied and no, I didn't use the english alphabet), mathematics, science, geography and more subjects from my last life from elementary to high school level subjects.

How I wished I knew the shadow clone jutsu yet as I think about my reserves, yeah no. I'd rather keep my life thank you very much.

The only bright side in this are the classes where we are taught how to handle shinobi weapons like the kunai, shuriken and senbon (which is not that much required), basic trap settings, shinobi rules, and also about chakra and how to use it.

Although the latter part I already knew including the 3 basic ninjutsu. Most of my time on the months that passed were focused on my training and the rest was taking care of my baby sister when mom and dad are busy at work.

Besides these, there are three core subjects that'll be taught to us.

Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu.

Taijutsu is simply PE!

But there are proper physical activities to help us train our bodies the shinobi ways.

Stances, poses and hand-to-hand combat which requires no chakra is directly taught by an instructor.

Ninjutsu as popular knowledge are the 3 basic ninjutsu Clone, Transformation and Substitution Ninjutsu. All of which I already knew.

Genjutsu is one of the core subjects I am interested in besides taijutsu.

It is focused less on how to create illusions and more on how they function, how to determine if your caught in it and how to release it.

That's all for the expectated subjects I shall learn for luckily 5 years (Hooray timeline without shinobi wars!) and not shortened due to war.

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed up only at the beginning of the school entrance ceremony and preaced about the will of fire, whatever the fuck that is.

I'm really not a villain and all but I am also not a hero and therefore will only focus on my important people. Those are my family members, Konoha comes 3rd to that since myself comes first before family.

Luckily for Konoha, I don't have a pet or it will have to come 4th place.

What?

Would you rather read a very boring chapter of children bullying their peers? Fangirls and fanboys? Especially fangirls!

Now that Uchiha Sasuke is attending the academy and gathering much attention to himself.

My humble self was very normal during the 2 years spent in the academy.

I was placed at the last section of my year but was moved to the leading class where there are more clan members from different clans.

The Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Aburame, Inuzuka and more... Civilian students are minority with me and 5 others...

One of the reasons why I was moved was due to my theoretical knowledge.

I scored average in taijutsu though the same with ninjutsu which I carefully hid. Even the clan members are hiding theirs such as sparring without using chakra when they obviously already can which I simply followed.

Anyway there was no benefit in me showing off my skills besides attracting a certain old man.

And so, I am now in my 3rd year in the academy and life was good.

My sister turned 3 years old and she was quite the mischievous type of kid. Always ull of energy running around the house and even outside when I take her to the play ground.

I plan to advance my knowledge with the medical ninjutsu since we can now choose at least 2 courses to focus on. This will continue until our fifth year.

I chose the medical ninjutsu class and sealing ninjutsu class.

Although we were already taught the seal on how to store and release objects from a scroll.

We weren't taught further like how to create explosive papers or talisman and more.

I wasn't expecting to learn much in the next 3 years but I hoped it would be enough for me to be able to start my journey to become stronger.

Medical ninjutsu so that I can heal my family when they are hurt while sealing ninjutsu since I lack chakra than most of my peers from clans.

Sealing ninjutsu, I decided to learn as it is something unpredictable and not much explored or used.

But I was disappointed during my 4th year since the curriculum for the sealing class was the same untill the fifth year!

All they taught was how to create explosive seal, storage seal, basic sealing of objects, living beings, chakra within another object (mostly scrolls), restricting seals like the movement or the use of chakra itself.

Besides all of that? Nothing else.

It seems like every student was expected to learn all of that within 3 years or even more. It's like the village was not expecting much from it's future generations in the area of sealing arts.

Shinobi fights normally revolves around taijutsu and ninjutsu. Rarely genjutsu are used and much more rare are the sealing arts.

Since I already knew all of what is being taught in the sealing arts, the remaining 2 years course I chose Genjutsu.

And so, 3 years passed by faster than I can say as we were finally graduating.
