Chapitre 3: Chapter 3: Academy?
---Timeskip 3 years---
I've been diligently practicing the basic forms for these last couple of years. My training doesn't go unrewarded or unnoticed. I have learned how to fire bend, my flames are powerful and hot. The Fire sages hail me as a young prodigy, even retelling the story of my birth. The story of me breathing fire traveled far and earned me the title 'The Prodigious Dragon prince'. Whenever I am seen, I am now called 'Young dragon'. Seems like they named me similar to an uncle I have.
Oh yeah, Ursa had a daughter, and her name is Azula. Named after her grandfather Azulan. She cries a lot to seek out Ursa's attention, and keep in mind I will never call her mom or any of these people 'family'. When Azula learned to walk she tried following me to practice. Though Azula is a spoiled brat, she is quite competent. It's kind of nice having someone follow you around like this. She learned the forms very quickly but not as fast as I did. She even called me 'big brother' and I HATE THOSE WORDS. Immediately all the nice feelings had gone cold. The first time she said that to me, my face took a drastic dark turn and I left her mid-sentence.
I will be no big brother to anyone. I will be nobody's Family. My family is dead. I don't give anyone time of day. Only dedicated to my training.
(Flashback to 3-year-old Sasuke)
One time when we went to Ember island, I was practicing my forms on the beach. Near my feet was a turtle crab that I ignored but a hawk above me didn't. It swooped down trying to do something, but I didn't take kindly to that. With a sharp glint in my eye, I took a defensive stance in preparation for its dive attack. Meanwhile, Ozai and Ursa were standing up under the umbrella nearby, watching with different emotions on their faces.
Seeing me waiting for it, the hawk seemed to have sensed danger and stopped its descent a little ways away from me. Unknowingly the turtle crab crawled beneath my legs. In a showdown that didn't really last long, the hawk flew back up and circled around me. I snorted at its actions and went back to practice my forms however I got quickly distracted again.
Both Ozai and Ursa thought I was protecting the turtle crab and Ursa came running.
"Sasuke, did you protect that little turtle crab?" asked Ursa while kneeling down to eye level. Ozai was close behind her watching.
"Hm? I thought the hawk was attacking me so I was just defending myself" I looked away as I replied.
---Ursa POV---
'Oh sweet boy, he must be wary of what his father will think so he is playing it off'
"Well good job regardless sweety. Defending yourself is something we all must learn to do yet you do it instinctually."
"Hum," he replied by nodding. Haha cutely still looking away from my eyes.
---Ozai POV---
'Defending yourself huh?' I'm sure he noticed the turtle crab but if he was protecting it, is still unclear...For your sake child, I hope it was self-defense. An affinity for the weak will only make you weak yourself! Scaring off the hawk means nothing! Weakness isn't needed in my heir!
(Flashback End)
---MC POV---
'haaaa' While maintaining a horse stance, a deep exhale escapes my mouth. A small puddle of sweat has accumulated in the small area I practice. I learned all the 32 basic fire forms within the first year and practiced them daily. Doing 5 sets without fire bending and 5 with firebending. I finish my routine with an imitation of a great fireball jutsu and an hour-long horse stance. I didn't start like this of course, but gradually increased the pressure on myself until I could maintain it. Because I learned it all in such a short amount of time, my status again rose in people's minds.
My body has grown and I have developed a sturdy lower body. The essence of fire bending is centered around the concept 'Light as a leaf, heavy as Iron'. It was difficult at first, but I already had the lightness of a leaf down. I was aiming to become a leaf shinobi after all. The heaviness is what was difficult. Power in my steps, in my core, and in every action yet maintaining my nimbleness. The integration of what I learned before and what I was being taught now made the moves harder than I think it would normally have been.

(A/N: I followed the Fire Nations rank system and combined some of it, which looks like this:
(Private, Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, Commander, Admiral, Colonel, General, Firelord) and I also just made up what I thought his stats would look like. Don't calc the stats as I go cause I'm sure they will be inconsistent.
PS- ADMIRAL Zhao and GENERAL Iroh puts things into perspective with this ranking.)
"Sasuke"???
I turn around, leaving my horse stance to look behind me. I see Ozai coming with his hands behind his back followed by 4 sages, two on each side. They all bow slightly when they get close enough. Ozai passes over my form and nods approvingly at my disposition to training.
"What is it?" I said in response. Ozai now looks coldly at me. His face of approval quickly leaves as he can't decide if he should be proud of his genius son or if he should punish my disrespect for him.
"You will start attending the Royal Academy for boys tomorrow. Be prepared." Ozai said what he had to say and left me to my thoughts.
'Great another academy...I have to go through this again'
