The Touch of Death

The day of my entrance to the academy has come. Many events have happened during this time. I'll start with the main ones, I tested my abilities.

After another conversation with Toji-sensei, I decided to go to (father). Approaching his office, I knocked and entered.

"Greetings (father)" I said with a bow. (Father's) office was richly decorated. In my past life, I had only seen such things in photographs. The most remarkable thing here is the sword hanging on the wall. This sword is a family heirloom. My great-great grandfather killed the elder of the Senju clan with it.

"Hello" My father said, considering me more of an investment than a father to a son.

"Why did you come?" And here's the question of why I'm here, what's needed since I don't want to be here longer than necessary.

"Father, can I use your training ground?"

"Hm, why?" He had a very puzzled expression on his face.

"Your training ground is better equipped" I said bluntly. And it is a fact that on the training ground of the father there are many seals with which you can strengthen gravity or set a strong gust of wind to process kunai throws in bad weather. There are many more possibilities, but I will tell you about them another time.

(Father) studied me for a minute before saying.

"Okay."

"So simple?" I said involuntarily.

"Hmm, of course, you are my son and I will help you as long as it is in my power" He said with a smile.

"Thank you" I bowed.

"Well, that's it, go don't hold me up" And I quickly left the office.

I headed to the bottom of the house. Where the training ground was. Standing in front of the massive gates, I took a kunai and dripped a drop of my blood on the seal. It lit up and after some time the doors opened with a quiet click. What greeted me looked more like a gym than a basement. Lots of exercise machines and scorpions. (You can see them in the anime when Orachimaru was watching Itachi's training.) There are also many separate rooms and each has its own meaning. If an ordinary civilian shinobi saw this. He would most likely faint. Hmm, what kind of thoughts are typical of an Uchiha. So let's start with the sword. I just wanted it and the sword appeared in my hands. It was a beautiful sword. I don't know anything about swords (I didn't need it in my past life) but it is very beautiful. I swung it and tried it out, but very carefully. One cut and a corpse will appear in my place. The weight of the sword is not very heavy and when swung it is very easy to control and change the attack. I went to the dummy and swung the sword. A large cut formed where the impact was. Although with the help of chakra, I still lack physical strength. Of course, this sword can compete with Orachimaru's sword in quality. But its main ability is, of course, the ability to kill with one small paresis. Esdeath in the anime was a killer, a person who could easily destroy armies and freeze time, but she lost to a person who wielded this sword. I put the sword back. Now it's time to use my main move. I channel my chakra, transform my hand into flames and hit the air with it, then all my vision was occupied by fire.

"Of course, this is not a fire fist, but it will pull on a B-rank ninjutsu" I concluded, examining the place of destruction. A completely scorched floor and only the remains of mannequins. I am not worried that (father) will notice this destruction, since the floor will be restored due to the seals, and I will seal the mannequins in the scroll that I brought. And so, after 3 hours of trying my abilities, I finished and went to my room. The next important event of this week was saying goodbye to Toji-sensei. And I reconsidered a lot about him in our last conversation.

"You know Levi-kun" Toji-san said to me while we were sitting on the veranda.

"You probably think I'm a bad person, huh?" And he looked into my eyes the way one usually looks into a person's soul.

"No Toji-sensei, I think you're a complicated person" I said with a pause.

"Come on, don't lie to me."

"What I want to say to you is thank you." I was surprised by this, he noticed it and said.

"I loved one girl. She was beautiful" he said, turning his eyes to the sky.

"I wanted to marry her and came to my father with this, but she was a commoner. You probably know that my father wants to become a nobleman, naturally he didn't like it and he didn't approve of it. And I, I was young. I didn't want to take her as a concubine or just date her. I wanted to belong to her with my soul, not just my body. She is different from all these dirty animals that are mistakenly called people. (This is about ordinary people.) She was pure as a cloudless sky. She was beautiful. I ran away with her. Father did not send shinobi or samurai because he was afraid to stain his name. We lived well in one small town. I earned a living by writing and we were expecting a child. Five months passed and she had a miscarriage. She died along with my son," Toji-san said, already shouting. Then he grinned self-destructively.

"When I came home, do you know what father said? Finally, you came to your senses." The silence after that was deafening. I sat in shock, and Toji-san with a sad smile on his face.

"You replaced my son, that's why I'm grateful to you, I want to give you one last lesson, live without regrets, my dear student." Having said this, Toji-san stood up and left. After that, I sat in deafening silence.

"Well, why are you leaving?" Naori shouted at me.

"Yes, yes, sister, I'm coming." And I ran to her.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Yes, just about the complexity of life."

"Wow, what smart thoughts, it's too early for you to think about that." Naori said, taking my hand.

After walking for a few minutes in comfortable silence, we approached the gates of the academy. "Wow," I said in amazement. Naori grinned.

"I had the same reaction." In front of us stretched the gates of the academy and, without a doubt, the most majestic building I had ever seen. The building was made of red brick with the Konoha emblem on it. center,

"But you haven't seen the Hokage building yet." Naori said with a wink and we went inside.
