Chapter 13 - Sympathy

With him being adamant about it, we eventually did spar with the sharingan and unexpectedly I was able to land a few hits but lost again.

At some point it got annoying to constantly lose against him as instead I focused my training with the sharingan to be on shurikenjutsu which should be an uchiha specialty and genjutsu as well.

By the end of this month through constant pressure and hardwork to stop being beatup by a kid who technically in this world I should be a year older than until eventually by the end of the month I was able to perfect both the shuriken jutsu and genjutsu to the best of my ability.

It surprised me how much one can improve if they just became relentless and tried.

By this time I had already missed the monthly academy evaluation and so I could not really evaluate my progress.

It was finally the twelfth month and eventually the time to show the result of our training to each other and for each day of the month we engaged in a friendly spar obviously near the forest area and the result being for me 1 win, 5 losses and 25 draws.

My result for the academy evaluation ended up being acceptable as I was overall ranked the fourth best in the academy.

At the beginning of the second year, despite no longer being the trash uchiha, I couldn't still get the hang of certain skills on my own that is beginning with the string-like jutsu sasuke used most of the time in our battle regardless of him trying to teach me many at times, I could not just quite get the hang of it and many at times tied myself up, I was on the fence on if I should add that to my arsenal but even more epic in this second year was the fact that I finally met Naruto.

Well it was not that I had not seen him before or anything of that sort but rather it was that there were more pressing matters to attend to at the moment.

My personal comment being he really did not have the aura of a protagonist at first, that title would go to sasuke, however as time went on, he did loosen up little by little.

For one sasuke wasn't opposed to making friends, he was just opposed big time to being dragged down by trivial friendships but regardless he still maintained an aura of cold personality around people who were not uchiha as to him, he felt they didn't understand his pain and his aim, he felt they were all running a different race and he had a goal to get stronger and stronger so that hed evenntually have the chance to exact his revenge on a ceratin someone.

I had to sympatize with him as I also had a goal that needed me to get stronger and stronger than everyone in this village to achieve as I also wish to take someones life… now thinking about it, that concept was frightening to the thought.
