Chapter 80: Chapter 80 : Sasuke
Despite how much I thought about it, training with Jiraiya was still training, even after the timely comedic relive from Jiraiya and Naruto's antics. Learning Seals was boring.
I kept on working under Jiraiya in the morning while my clones at this time did training while others didn't know.
I literally had no other work to do besides training at this point. My talent in seals was just that, average, nothing groundbreaking as Minato's. There ain't any way that I'm impressing Jiraiya anytime soon.
He was more focused on training Naruto and making him use Nine Tail Chakra anyway. I am also sure that at this time he must have talked with the Hokage, about what to exactly teach me and why.
That was the only reason he kept on teaching me, otherwise, it's very unusual for one of the Snanin to take a student under them.
"Hey, Shika… what are you learning." Naruto finally decided to take a little break after his crazy training, honestly if only I had one-third of his chakra or stamina.
He looked curious seeing I was reading the moment I came there, and even under Jiraiya I was doing the same.
"I am learning Fuinjutsu… " I reply not even looking at him while saying this.
"Ohhh…what it does ?" Naruto asked with curiosity.
"This is how the tenant inside you is kept from wreaking havoc, from transportation convinces to real right power, seals to many things," I reply but those words at the start made Naruto wince. Naruto's face was looking dark and he was looking a little worried right now.
Like worried that Shika knows this, which he had no idea how he knew in the first place, others will know too and the little comradeship he has, he will lose all that too.
I purposefully bring that up, saying to Naruto that I know about his secret.
Seeing him wince under what I said I can't help but sigh and then say.
"Naruto…" I said with a little commanding tone.
Naruto who was looking a little down or a little hesitant just knowing that someone knew his secret, looked up at with with a hesitant look.
"I am not very familiar with you, that I must admit…
You are sometimes a little annoying and an idiot."
That clearly infuriates the orange boy. But he didn't reply anything he just again put his head down and just listened to what I had to say.
This was my time to form a bond with him, if nothing then a person who recognizes him and he can call a friend. Of course, it was for my benefit but that doesn't mean that I didn't want to be friends with him, he was a little annoying in real life but in anime and my past life, he was one of my favourite characters.
"However… that what makes you… you.
Make no mistake Uzumaki Naruto. The fox is the fox and you are you.
You are not the fox, and if anyone says otherwise then they are an idiot." I said with a smile on my face to which Naruto immediately perked up.
"Shika…"
"For me, you are Naruto Uzumaki, a shinobi of the leaf, a comrade and a friend. So I personally don't care what is inside you. You will remain a friend to me. So don't go around thinking that you are alone okay…" I said as I got up… patted his shoulder and moved on, that was the most I could say…
Anything more and I might mess up.
I didn't see Naruto's face at that time but I was sure that I did notice a little wetness in his eyes. Though the boy was really good at hiding that.
Thus training kept on going, it was boring, but at least physical training was not this troublesome as Seals. Learning seals is like I am trying to do Math. But this time, it's only that none of the rules or formulas are given to us.
It's mostly venturing into foreign ground for any seal master.
Sigh
Some time later I finally got the time to work on another plan which I was thinking about. Training is fine and all but there is always a limitation on how much a person can do and grow.
To really get stronger, I need help, more like comrades who can help me in my plan for the future.
There is no doubt that I had to fight with Pain, Obito and Madara in the future. So I have to start planning from now on. And this guy who I wanna meet is the person who I believe can help me in this.
I long wanted to come visit him but due to the unwanted attention he was getting from a certain snake Sannin, he was under observation from Anbu.
It's only now that this has ended. I can't say why but this was the right time to talk with him.

Sasuke was training, and after his defeat against Shika, he threw himself into training with no rest. He was like this even before this but now the situation was worse, to the point Kakashi and Sakura were worried for him.
"I lost to literally a nobody." That was the only thing he muttered whenever he thought about his fight with Shika.
'Why? Why did I lose? I have worked so hard since that day. Then why… Why I am so weak.
In comparison, Naruto….he won his match and now he will participate in the Chunin exams.' Sasuke thought and gritted his teeth.
After a day of hard training and pretty much breaking his body. He went back home, tired now.
But just as he entered his house he noticed something, there was a presence in his house.
He lived alone, there shouldn't be anyone here right now, but there was and he wasn't even concealing his presence.
Sasuke slowly took out a kunai and slowly moved forward, as soon as he entered his own room he saw a familiar figure in front of him. But more than anything, he saw these eyes, those bloodshot red eyes staring back at him.
His mind went slag for a second, remembering what happened all those years ago, what that man did.
"Itachi." Sasuke all but roared and wanted to rush at the man in front of him to kill him but he found that he couldn't move anymore.
"Sigh, you need to control your emotions Sasuke…" came the reply as Sasuke was struggling to move but to no avail. Just before he reopened his now-sealed cursed seal, the man with those accursed eyes who was staring at him finally came out of the shadow, and the face that he was expecting to see wasn't the one he saw then.
"You need to calm down…I don't have much time to spend here, need to talk about something important with you." I said to the avenger with my Sharingan flaring at him.
