8 More Training and Shisui's Arrival

Sitting in the back of the classroom in the middle of Izumi and Itachi was Ren who was waiting for class to end, so he could continue his training.

"As I am now, I am far to weak. Even though I'm able to use Chidori, I only have enough Chakra to use it once. If I could somehow awaken the Sharingan, it might help me train faster. In a year Itachi will have awakened his Sharingan from the death of his friend after graduating early. I need to increase my training Intensity" thought Ren.

Looking at Ren, Izumi asked, "Do you wanna go eat somewhere after class?"

Suprised by Izumi's question, he says "Sorry, I plan to continue training after class. I can't fall behind Itachi".

Hearing his response she disappointedly replies with an "okay".

...

The next day in the woods, you could see countless shurikens and kunai lying on the ground along with the clashing sounds of swords. There were two young children at the age of five both sparing. Clash after clash they continued until one of them lost their sword. These two young children were Itachi and Ren. While Itachi was much more skilled with ninjutsu, Ren found the sword very easy to use as he continued to win every exchange with Itachi. Suddenly, Itachi raised his hands and said "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu" before blowing out a flame of fire. As Ren couldn't use any other Jutsu besides for Chidori and Chidori was very dangerous to use, he could only dodge. Suddenly rushing up to Ren, Itachi takes out a kunai and brings it to Ren's neck before stopping.

"Looks like it's my win," Itachi said with a smiling while gasping for breath.

"Let's have another go!" Ren replied.

"Sorry, I'm going to go home and watch Sasuke."

"Okay, I'll continue to train I guess"

...

On the way home, Itachi hears someone throwing kunai. The man throwing kunai looked a few years older than Itachi.

"Itachi, the genius of the Uchiha clan." The man paused before continuing "Does the academy bore you so much that you're ditching?"

"I'm not ditching, there's just nothing for me to learn, so I was training with Ren."

"You're pretty talented at your age though."

"I'm no match for you though, Shisui." Itachi paused "I have to go now, I'm going to go watch Sasuke."

"Is that so, how about joining me with training later this week?"

"Okay!" Itachi replied enthusiastically as he felt he made a friend.

...

Meanwhile, Ren was still training his body and practicing his control on Chidori. He planned on getting different variations of Chidori like how Sasuke and Kakashi did in the anime.

"At this rate, I won't be able to stop Itachi from wiping out the Uchiha and from becoming an Akatsuki member. I should learn some more Jutsu to help catch up to Itachi. Also seeing how natural the sword felt, I should also start learning kenjutsu." Ren thought as he picked up his sword and starting doing practice swings.
