Fugaku and Jiro began their walk to the academy after their seventh birthday. Junichiro was busy with paperwork from the policeforce and Akane was down with a cold she got after going on a mission to the Land of Water. After Jiro and Fugaku walked out of the Uchiha compound, many other prospective students soon joined them on their walk to the academy.Most kids steered clear of Fugaku and Jiro so Fugaku looked to see if Jiro was doing anything. If he was, Fugaku couldn"t tell. Fugaku considered activating his sharingan to check if Jiro was doing anything suspicious, but the chakra drain accompanying its usage while not too much for Fugaku to currently handle would leave him very close to drained of chakra.
On the way to the academy, Fugaku reminisced with a grimace of when he awoke his sharingan. It was very painful, not emotionally, but physically. The pain Fugaku experienced is by far the most painful experience he had to date.
Jiro and Fugaku were training like usual. Even after a year of training in Taijutsu, Fugaku was still getting his balance constantly thrown off by Jiro"s techniques. Jiro was pushing him harder than usual today and Fugaku"s body certainly felt it. Instead of giving Fugaku a brief recovery time after a particularly harsh attack, Jiro kept on pressing until Fugaku collapsed of physical exhaustion. After giving Fugaku a couple minutes to recover as well as some water, Jiro began to speak:
"Brother... the clan elders are waiting for you to awaken your sharingan. I have gradually increased the intensity of our training, but it seems that a very painful push will be needed for you to awaken. Want me to provide it?"
Fugaku looked at Jiro with a stern look in his eyes and declared:
"Provide it brother."
"As you wish brother."
Jiro responded with a smile grin crossing his face in the face of Fugaku"s resolve. He rolled Fugaku onto his back then walked back into the house to get a piece of cloth as well as a wooden stick. He then stuffed the cloth into the mouth of Fugaku and asked him bite onto the stick. Jiro walked over to Fugaku"s ankle and picked it up. Jiro then proceeded to snap it to one side dislocating it. Fugaku clenched his mouth, but gave a signal for Jiro to continue.
"I"ll start off easy brother. If you do not awaken early, then more painful body parts will have to be dislocated."
After a couple of minutes with the sounds of cracks and slight moans of agaony echoing in the empty courtyard, Jiro finally walked over to Fugaku"s shoulder. Fugaku had his knees hyper-extended leaving it bent in the wrong direction. His ankles were dislocated and already beginning to swell with a purplish bruise.
Fugaku"s wrists were dislocated leaving them flopped onto the ground. His elbows and fingers were hyper-extended easily showcasing the opposite of natural. Jiro finally popped one shoulder out of its socket and Fugaku finally screeched in agony, his voice m.u.f.fled by the cloth. Jiro got ready to pop out Fugaku"s other shoulder when he noticed that Fugaku"s sharingan had finally awoken.
"Congratulations brother, you have finally awaken."
Fugaku let out a breath of relief and began to sink into unconsciousness. He was unaware that Jiro had put him under a Genjutsu that would make the feeling of pain be amplified as it was his first time having his body broken. He was also unaware of Akane and Junichiro who watched from the shadows as Jiro basically tortured his brother to help him awaken.
When Jiro looked to them, Akane and Junichiro realized that they were discovered so they dropped down. After Jiro got back to putting Fugaku"s joints back into place, Akane quickly took Fugaku to the hospital within the Uchiha compound.
Akane and Juichiro were really proud of both their sons. Fugaku had the bravery to withstand intesne pain in order to do part of his duty as future clan head. They weren"t in awe at Jiro"s ruthlessness to his brother, but they were impressed with Jiro when he noticed them while they were watching from the side.
As Fugaku and Jiro finally reached the academy, Jiro noted with satisfaction that there was a clear distance between him and all the other kids. All he had to do was keep up the release of a low level of killing intent that would convey the message of wanting to be alone. Fugaku remained unaffected as he was usually with Jiro and the shinoi never bothered Jiro about it as they were used to certain people wanting to be alone.
The Academy stood tall with three floors. The symbol of Konoha stood tall, carved into the wall and the tiles of the roof were orange and light brown in color. Other parts of the academy were colored bright red really showcasing that this was an academy belonging in the Land of Fire. As students and prospective ones began their walk into the halls of the academy, Jiro saw a wide variety of ages among students and potential ones. The youngest looking around their age while the oldest looked to be about twelve years old.
As they walked into the cla.s.sroom, many clan students took note of the arrival of the future clan head as well as the genius of Uchiha clan. Many academy students also noticed the arrival of Jiro, specifically due to his involvement in creating the body refining technique which turned Fridays into a living h.e.l.l.
Fugaku began to walk to the left side of the cla.s.sroom where most of the clan kids were located in order to get to know them better. He remembered the message that his father left for him before he left for the police force:
"Son, make sure to know the other members of the clans better. It would be in our best interest to have allies within Konoha so make sure that you get to make connections."
Jiro strolled to a different corner in the cla.s.s and claimed the surrounding three feet with his aura of killing intent. Students within three feet of him began to feel uncomfortable and moved off leaving Jiro alone with the corner belonging to him.
As one of the Chunin intructors walked into the cla.s.sroom, he noticed the lack of students in the right side of the cla.s.sroom, especially the corner in the front. He quickly detected the killing intent Jiro was admitting and came up to him to ask what the problem was.
Jiro noticed that a teacher was walking towards him. He briefly pondered the idea of increasing the killing intent and directing it at the teacher, but he remembered what Junichiro told him after Fugaku received Junichiro"s advice about making connections.
"Son, I know that you don"t like to be socially active, but don"t go around causing chaos for the instructors. The image of our clan has to be maintained as approachable instead of arrogant or aloof. Lastly, don"t think that I wouldn"t notice that you are a shadow clone."
Jiro let a small smile grace his face as the game was up. The shadow clone dispersed and Jiro began to walk out of his room while Fugaku looked on with a puzzled look present on his face.
"Father, can I go to the academy as a shadow clone? No, it would give off a bad impression if you are revealed to be a shadow clone in the middle of cla.s.s."
The Chunin teacher finally reached Jiro and he noticed that the killing intent was lowered significantly making Jiro seem a tiny bit more approachable. The instructor nodded at Jiro showing his approval to maintaining this level of killing intent. He began to call the names of the students from his clipboard, starting with the Aburame clan.
