A Naruto Fan-Fic

Time slowly passed while Ken slowly familiarized himself with the new Chakra. It was foreign energy, furthermore, it was the purest form, this kind of energy did not exist anywhere in this world. So adapting to it was quite difficult.

Circulating it around his chakra pathway system allowed the energy to slowly merge with his body and strengthen his pathway system. Making the energy his own would allow him to recover his energy a lot faster than the average.

His dantian is also expanding, allowing him to have a larger energy capacity. Time slowly passed and the morning came.

Ken stopped meditating and got up. It was his usual time to wake up. Itachi also woke up, but he was careful not to wake the sleeping Sasuke or it would be troublesome.

"Let's go have a leak." Itachi carried Ken as usual. Ken was already able to walk, but Itachi did not care, he just wanted to carry his Little Bro like usual and have a leak together, like usual.

The siblings returned from the bathroom when they heard the door open. Itachi immediately went to receive their parents who just came home. It was just their mother who came home.

"You two, can't you just sleep a little longer?" Mikoto sighed helplessly. The sun's still not up and her two sons are already awake. Ever since she had a child, it did not feel like she was raising children, instead, she felt like she was raising young a.d.u.l.ts.

Fortunately, their youngest son was as normal as he could be. Sometimes, she really wished that she could have a daughter. A child that she could raise with all her might and enjoy it on the way.

"How is Sasuke?" Mikoto asked.

"He's still asleep, mom. How about father?" Itachi replied.

"He'll be here soon. He just needs to take care of some issues." Mikoto replied while massaging her shoulder. She looked quite tired.

"Go to rest, mom. I will make breakfast." Itachi insisted when she saw her mother's doubtful expression. "Don't worry, I know how to." He smiled and took her mother's groceries to the kitchen.

"Hah." Mikoto sighed helplessly and went to rest, joining Sasuke on the bed. After all, she still needed to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed her baby when he wakes up.

Itachi and Ken had their breakfast. Itachi was used to seeing her mother make some food for Ken so it was easy.

...

A week later, the whole Uchiha Clan finally moved to the new location. Although it was isolated, Ken thought that it was ideal. It is an ideal training ground. Even Itachi thought so too.

But Ken also noticed the clan members' unwillingness and dissatisfaction. It wasn't just that, he could also feel dislike, hatred, and killing intent.

Ever since Gluttony awakened, his senses towards negative energy got stronger. And Ken could feel it, there was something happening under the covers.

Unfortunately, he or any kid had no say in the matters of the a.d.u.l.ts. Still, even if he had a say, then Ken would not really say anything.

...

A year passed in a blur. Everything returned to normal and no further conflict happened. What was destroyed was rebuilt, one was the Academy.

Talks about the Kyuubi attack became a taboo, but the people still had fear lingering through there hearts. They were afraid that the Kyuubi that was sealed in the boy would go out of control and again, destroy the village.

Instead of regarding the boy as a hero or even at least pity him, the people instead began to despise and fear the innocent boy.

...

The family of five sat around the table as they had their meal. The atmosphere was harmonious as they ate.

"So, how was your day in the Academy, Itachi?" Fugaku asked as they ate.

"It was normal." Swallowing the food, Itachi answered. "Father, teach me some Jutsu." He added.

"Don't they teach you at school?" Fugaku was surprised.

"It's too easy." Itachi never had much emotion on his face, just like his father, and he replied as a matter of factly.

"Hahaha, you sure are my son. I'll teach you later, come meet me by the lake." Fugaku laughed proudly. He was a genius, his eldest son is a genius, his second son is also one of a kind, probably another genius. Seeing this pattern, it won't be wrong to assume that his youngest son is also a genius.

"How about you, Ken. Do you want to enter the Academy?" Mikoto also asked the eating-silently-Ken with a smile.

"No." The whole family froze and stared at Ken. Looking at him oddly.

"Why?" Mikoto and Fugaku asked at the same time.

"I don't want to. How about you teach me instead."

"Ha... You are still too young. We'll talk about it after you turn 4." Regarding their second son, both parents were helpless. They felt like they did not have a say in their sons' decision at all.

Fugaku even tried spying on Ken, but he did not find anything suspicious at all, instead, the more he observed his son, the more he pleased he became. What he did not know was that Ken also knew he was being watched. Still, he did not care, he had nothing to hide.

But thinking about it, Fugaku felt like it would indeed be better if he taught Ken. He knew that if another terrifying genius came out of his house, then it would invoke some ill will from certain people. It may look good on the surface, but if you dive in, you would find that it isn't an ocean, instead, it is an abyss.

...

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and today is also Ken's 4th birthday. The family of five, again, sat around the table with a lovely meal for the birthday boy.

"Father, I want to start training tomorrow." Ken whose physique did not match that of his age spoke. Compared to the average 4 years old, he was half a head taller. His body was also bigger and gave off the impression of cool, icy, and bully at the same time. His pure black eyes reflected the moonlight. But, his cute and chubby cheeks betrayed the coolness he displayed.

"Sigh.." Fugaku could only sigh. A year was enough for him, Mikoto and Itachi to teach Ken the history of the Shinobi world. It wasn't just that, Ken also forced his mother to teach him Hand Signs, Jutsu knowledge, and some basic idea on what the Uchiha's can really do.

"Alright, come with me tomorrow." Fugaku smiled helplessly and rubbed Ken's hair gently. As indifferent as he looked, he is, in fact, a doting father.

'Haa... maybe this is a good thing.' Fugaku sighed and left to join his lovely wife. Ken also stood up and went to rest.

...

A year was enough for Itachi to graduate from the academy. He was considered as a genius, a prodigy that had not been seen in several years.

In the two years since he got the Purified Chakra from the Kyuubi, he had already made it his own. Unfortunately, he could not purify his own energy, meaning, if his Purified Chakra ran out, he would not be able to produce it himself.

But with the help of Glutton, that problem is not actually a problem. All the Chakra that he would produce or recover will be purified by Glutton.

Still, no pay, no gain.

So, Ken made a deal with Glutton. He gets 70% and Glutton gets the remaining 30%. In the end, that is just a small price to pay compared with the benefits that come with it.

The Purified Chakra also helped him develop and strengthen his physique.

With his strength, Ken's punch should be able to compare to that of a 10 years old kid. But his agility was still limited with his small body. But with enough training, his body should be able to grow and burn the fat that he acc.u.mulated and transform it into strength, power, and stamina.

With enough training, Ken estimated that it should only take 5 to 6 years to surpass his previous life. That is just how useful Energy really is.

...

Inside the New Uchiha Compound. Inside a forest.

"Chakra is a magical thing. It is essential to even the most basic techniques. But, in order to have a sufficient amount of chakra, you have to train hard. Chakra needs a large amount of time and training to build-up, but the key to its use is not having a large amount of chakra but instead being able to sufficiently control and conserve it.

"I know you understand it, you are smart. So you have to be smart. Now, I will teach you how to control your chakra. Watch." Fugaku sternly stated to Ken. He raised his hand with only two fingers open and a gust of wind formed around his feet. He lowered his stance and started to walk towards the tree.

And to Ken's surprise, his father started walking on the erect tree like it was on flat ground. In no time, Fugaku reached the peak and he said to Ken, "This one of the common ways to control chakra. The bottoms of the feet are the most difficult place to gather chakra, so, in theory, once you master chakra control, you can master any Jutsu.

"Focus the chakra on the bottom of your feet and make them stick on the tree trunk. If you can do that, then next will be walking on water." Fugaku explained. In fact, he did not need to explain. Mikoto already imparted Ken some knowledge and what to do, he just needed to apply his knowledge.

"I understand." Ken then mimicked what his father did and to Fugaku's surprise, he could feel a tremendous chakra coming from Ken the moment he started to focus.

'Interesting looks like my son is one of those people blessed with such a large amount of chakra. Haha, he really is a genius! He is my son!' Fugaku exclaimed inside but he did not stop Ken. He could not help but recall the legend of a certain man, and his smile turned deeper.

Ken slowly focused a small portion of the chakra on the bottom of his feet and slowly stepped on the tree trunk. The moment his right foot touched the tree, he could feel that his body was slowly being repelled. That is when he instinctively knew that he needed to lessen the chakra a little bit.

Ken retrieved his foot and refocused when he felt that the chakra should be enough, he again raised his right foot and stepped on the tree trunk. It felt perfect! He then raised his left foot and stuck it on the tree. It felt perfect again. Without stopping, he balanced himself and slowly made his way towards the peak of the tree.

'That should be the right amount. But I would have to train it to perfection so I can do it with needing to focus.' Just then, a gust of wind blew on his face and he lost focus.

"Crack" His foot broke the tree bark and he was repelled and feel of the tree.

"Tch!" Annoyed, Ken scowled and balanced himself in midair before landing on the ground on his feet. Well, it had been 4 years, but he did not expect that his focus would be destroyed by a mere gust of wind. How can he not be annoyed?

Fugaku who was ready to help him stopped at the last moment and he thought again, 'This time, the Uchiha Clan will finally rise!'

"Haha, not bad!" He laughed and jumped off the tree and patted Ken's shoulder.

"That was better than I expected. But, it's not enough! How can you be distracted by a mere gust of wind, on the battlefield, a second could cost you your life. Train until you are dead tired! Only when you are able to do it without thinking will it be called true mastery!" Fugaku passionately tried to sound like a true instructor as he ruffled his son's hair.

"I know, father. Don't you have a lot of work to do? I want to train by myself." Ken turned even more annoyed when he heard his father. But, he did not bother to talk more.

"You... Ahem... I do have a lot of work. Don't forget to go home for lunch or your mother will be worried." Fugaku was again swept by the 'coolness' his son emitted and he was speechless. He could only leave ruffle Ken's hair and turned to leave.

"Thank you, father."

"Don't forget to go home for lunch!"
