Chapter 3
The Test

Neji stood there, staring at his “friend” with his eyes, his menacing cursed eyes he hated so much the way he had achieved them, “but it had to be done.” That’s what he always told himself to rid himself from the guilt of killing his kin’s man.
“So Neji, it is here our ‘friendship ends’” Itachi smirked as he took out a kunai and flinged it at Neji with a killer intent.
As Neji was about to dodge it, Itachi suddenly appeared behind him and held him in place. The kunai pierced Neji’s right arm; it wasn’t deep enough to be serious, but that didn’t mean that it wasn’t painful. Neji could bear the pain of a weapon thrown at him, but not the pain of being hurt by his best friend. Itachi laughed at how useless his friend had became, once a top honor guard in Konoha, but now a sorry captive to Itachi’s sick plans. Yet without any warning Itachi was struck down by the fist of his former best friend.
“Enough of this nonsense Itachi, if you still want to act like this I have no choice but to kill you,” Neji said, as if hoping to scare Itachi to let him off. They both knew that the skills they had mastered were equal, that the strength they had was equal. Before Neji could turn around and escape, Itachi stood up, steadily gazing at Neji’s injured arm.
“Neji, Neji……You are worthless… just like your Father was” Itachi said lowly as he threw another kunai in Neji’s direction. Normally Neji would have shrugged off a comment like Itachi’s and treated it as the remark of an ignorant fool, but instead Neji was hurt. It wasn’t just that Itachi had insulted Neji’s esteemed father, but what hurt was that it came from the mouth of a former best friend. To his the man he had felt was like a brother to him now betray him and rub his honor in the dirt as if they were strangers was like a blow to the gut. Neji took hold of the kunai that was flying in his direction and he lunged at Itachi with the other kunai in his hand, his face beginning to stain with the tears of a man betrayed.

***

Jumping from side the side, the three boys kept dodging the kunai thrown at them, but every time they narrowly escaped one, they were barely able to dodge the others. At every twist and turn they were faced with another onslaught of Minato’s clones and more knives, daggers, and kunai. Neji tried to tell Itachi that they should split up, but as he turned his head to look for Itachi, he couldn’t find him. To make things worse he didn’t see the kunai that was flying towards him until it was almost too late. He was sure the kunai might kill him. He was expecting to open his eyes to the Gates of Heaven, but when he opened his eyes, Itachi was standing in front of him, blood trickling down his sleeve.
“Get up Neji” commanded Itachi as he removed the kunai from his arm. His voice was steady and calm, the voice of a leader who had stood up to take command of a downtrodden army.
“Are you alright? We can tell Minato Sama that you are hurt,” Neji said as he pushed Itachi towards the forest to get away from the onslaught of kunai and to find a temporary safe zone to recover in.
“Are you kidding Neji?” Itachi said with a smile on his face
“What are you talking about Itachi? You’re hurt!” Neji was surprised at Itachi’s calm in such a frantic situation. For crying out loud, they were being attacked on all sides by legions of jonin clones, clones that were masters of the Flicker Technique, clones that could kill them so fast that they wouldn’t have realized they had been hit.
“This is what it’s like when we are in a real battle field Neji, we have to go back for more,” Itachi said with a smirk as he ran back into the training ground to battle another Minato Sama Bunshin.
As Neji watched his best friend run towards his enemy without fear, he realized how weak he was compared to Itachi. As he stood up and brushed the sand off his knees, he opened his eyes. If you had been an innocent bystander, you would have witnessed the new boy, a boy with the power of a newly activated Sharingan. A boy would have just opened his Sharingan for the first time. Yet Neji wasn’t aware of the new transformation in his eyes, he just felt something different about himself, a difference that was both hard to explain yet he knew it was good. In another part of the forest, Neji’s other team mate Takashi was having troubles himself. He knew he couldn’t compete with the skills Neji and Itachi had, but he knew his Ninjutsu skills were good enough and he was proud of it. He decided that now was the time to unveil his new self-created jutsu, Panda no Jutsu, though he made sure that no one else was around to witness it, since it was still a secret and a surprise for later.
After 23 Hours into the training, the three boys still hadn’t cleared half of their sensei’s bunshin. Dashing through the forest, trying to escape from their “scary” Sensei, the boys found each other and decided to have a little meeting.
“We can’t run away forever,” Neji said as he was wrapping his many cuts and injuries in bandages.
“Yeah that’s why I say WE FIGHT” Itachi shouted, trying to encourage his fellow teammates to face their fears.
“Erm…we can’t fight him alone…it’s just not possible,” Takashi tended his panda’s wounds and Pandie cried in pain.
Neji then saw one of his sensei’s bunshin sneaking up towards them.
“Watch out!” Neji shouted as he pushed Takashi out of the way of his sensei’s kunai. Itachi quickly lunged at the bunshin and killed it with his small blade. The clone went “poof” and for the moment, the boys were safe again.
“I think we should work together,” Neji said as he picked himself up. He looked at both of his companions to wait for their answers. Takashi looked at Pandie as if to ask her if she could bear a little more, and as she seemed to say “Yes I can” with her big, black Panda eyes, he turned back to Neji and said with the utmost certainty and courage “Yeah…we have a better chance if we stay together and watch each other’s backs.”
Itachi stared at the both of them with a look of anger. There was a thought going through Itachi’s head, a thought full of irritation but he said “We can give it a shot,”
The three boys rested for a little while, then stood up and rushed out of the forest and into the danger their sensei had unleashed upon them.
As they stood at the edge of the forest they saw a field of bunshin ahead of them, if they had decided to count the amount, it would be over a thousand, or maybe more.
The three boys stood there looking towards what may be certain death. They started to feel scared. So blatantly frightened that that they couldn’t move an inch, so deathly terrified that the sweat beads on their forehead froze as well, so scared that the knowledge that their lives might suddenly be shortened at such a young age left them without breath. Their bodies tensed, their hearts stopped, yet their minds were frantically racing to find a way out.
Then without warning, the Bunshin started to lunge towards the three boys without hesitation. They tired to escape but a huge army of their sensei’s clones started running from behind them. They are trapped, and the only thing they knew they should do was try to kill as many as they could before they died, to at least leave this world with a bit of honor. The boys closed their eyes and grasped each other hands and ran forward head on to fight their “last battle.”

[Neji]

Just then they felt a small breeze, the breeze that Neji later called, “the sigh of an angel.” Neji opened his eyes to see a young blond man standing infront of him, and he quickly let go of his companions’ hands. As he looked at their faces he saw Itachi was shocked, while Takashi was relieved. He turned back to this blond man he saw him smiling. Before Neji could say anything the blond man walked up to them and said “You passed,” smiling as if it was amusing and not at all nerve-wrecking that three young boys nearly soiled their pants in fear of the god of death. The three boys looked up at their sensei not knowing what to say, they were just dumbfounded, yet slightly grateful to have their young lives given back.
“What did we do to pass?” Neji asked with a shocked expression.
“Well this test wasn’t for you to kill all my Bunshin,” Minato said as he started walking in circles around the boys, trying to see how much injury he caused to them.
“But you said we had to defeat all your clones!” Itachi said angrily, as he wondered why he had caused himself and his best friend so much injury just for some silly game his sensei wanted to play with them.
“It’s true, I did say that,” Minato said as he gave them a wide grin.
“What’s so funny? We almost died you know,” Takashi said. Neji could see that both his friends were about to kill his sensei; not knowing what to do he pulled Itachi and Takashi back a little to make them cool down. He then asked “What is this test all about sensei?”
Minato smiled as Neji said that. The smile he gave was one that a teacher gave a student when he asked the right kinds of questions, the kinds of questions that have answers that lead to real knowledge. Minato walked towards the three boys and ruffled their hair. He answered simply, “teamwork.”

***

Neji stabbed Itachi in the arm with a kunai and then kicked his knee, breaking it. Itachi screamed in pain. He looked like he was about to faint but before he did he grabbed Neji’s coat and stared him menacingly in the eyes.
He said “You will not escape Neji…Akatsuki will hunt your family down…everyone you love will die…all because of you…” Neji kicked Itachi’s hand off his coat and started to walked away, but Itachi shouted 2 names, “Meji……Nara!” Neji marched right back to Itachi and pulled him up by his collar, stared Itachi right in his eyes and said “Itachi…let me show you what my Mangekyou Sharingan can do…”

Chapter 4
Love

“Come on Takashi, catch up!” A teenager said jumping from tree to tree chasing for someone. He looked back to see a man running on the ground with his panda.
“Stop complaining Meji… go on ahead we must find Neji” Takashi yelled back at the spiky, brown-haired boy in the trees.
“Just wait a little while longer bro…..I’m coming” Meji said while speeding off towards the light.

***

Neji returned home to a smiling family. He missed the faces of his mom, dad, and most of all his little brother.
“Hi Meji!” Neji said happily he placed his hand on his little brother hair and started to ruffle it. “Stop that bro” Meji said as he pushed his brother’s hands off his hair. Meji gave his brother a tight hug to welcome him home from his training.
“How was your sensei?” Madara asked while putting down the newspaper he was reading. “Well…he nearly killed us” Neji said in all seriousness. He walked to the kitchen to greet his mom, who was busy making dinner. He gave her the tightest hug he had ever given anyone, since he thought of his mom as the most important person to him besides his dad and brother. He knew that if he ever lost them, he would be lost as well.
“So did you and Takashi get along?” Neji’s mom asked while hugging her son with a spatula in one hand.
“Well in the end, I saved his life and he saved mine, so what’s for dinner Mom?” Neji said smiling to his mother.
“Well…..since you have finally returned…we are going to have some steak…and miso soup” his mother said while smiling at her brave son.
“Sounds yummy,” Neji replied as he left the kitchen to see his brother in the living room playing with his teddy bear.
“So have you told this ‘girl’ your name yet? Hehehe…” Neji teased his brother about his crush. “No… she’s not JUST a girl… her name is Ayame Uchiha and she’s erm…” Meji stopped as he saw his dad peeping through his newspaper trying to listen and his mom leaning out of the kitchen wanting to hear the story.
About a couple of months ago Meji started Academy School and in his class there was a girl he described as an angel. Her name was Ayame Uchiha, she was a normal Uchiha, had not yet unlocked her Sharingan, and she was an orphan along with her older brother Hiro. Both of them lived in the Uchiha village and since their parents were Uchiha, they were left a house to stay there. Meji sat right behind her in class, everyday trying to get some info about her. He tried telling his name to her once during they recess.
Meji was at the field playing football with his pals when he saw Ayame getting bullied. So naturally he rushed to her rescue.
“Hey pick on someone your own size!” Meji shouted, trying to sound heroic, but he suddenly became very frightened when he a creature of black and white. He knew people called it a panda, and so he stared at this panda for what seemed 5 minutes trying to seem brave. He clenched his fist and was about to punch the panda when this girl ran out from behind the panda to stop him.
“Hey, are you thinking of hitting my panda!?” the girl cracked her knuckles menacingly.
“Stop bullying Ayame!” Meji replied while checking his surroundings making sure that the other boys and girls didn’t surround him and cage him in with this scary girl and her panda. “Well for your info, Ayame is my best friend and we were playing. BUT I can’t just let you hit my panda little boy,” The girl pushed Meji to the ground.
“Stop it Fidget, leave Meji alone,” Ayame said. She stretched out her hand wanting to pull Meji up.
Meji started to cry and brushed Ayame’s hand aside. He stood up and started to run away from Ayame and her friends.
“He’s a weird kid Ayame…but he seems to be a crybaby hehehe” Fidget said while giggling and petting her panda.
“Well he was just trying to defend me Fidget,” Ayame said, trying to defend Meji’s honor.
Although Meji was crying, he was happy since Ayame had known his name and that was all he wanted to know. But ever since that day Meji followed Ayame home almost everyday, except he wasn’t next to her like he wanted to be. He was sneaky, very sneaky; he would shift from tree to tree and stalked her shadow while watching her. On some occasions when she is playing with Fidget at the lake he would sit on a tree gazing at her.
One day while he was looking at her from a treetop from afar, his brother caught him.
“MEJI wad are you looking at?” Neji shouted at Meji. Meji was shocked from the tone and he fell off the tree right into Ayame’s backyard, although Ayame didn’t see him, her brother Hiro did. Hiro was Ayame’s brother, about one year younger than Neji and Itachi, although he was shy at times he was very protective about his sister, and well lets just say he hated Meji ever since that peeping incident. Hiro chased Meji all over town only to be stopped by Neji. Although Neji was trying to sound serious when he tried to explain to Hiro why Meji was there, every time he looked at Meji’s face he would laugh.
Yes, Meji was in love with Ayame, and although he didn’t admit it, his brother knew because he too loved someone but he was too shy to tell her. It was truly the Hirosaki legacy for the men to be shy little boys around girls.
Ever since the first time Neji laid eyes on Naratashi, he loved her. People would always tease him on how quickly he had fallen for her, even Itachi made fun of him, but although he made fun of Neji he helped with his love issue. Once Itachi brought along Naratashi for a training session with Neji, for example. However, when it was Neji’s turn to fight her, he lost all concentration and got beaten every time.
In the living room, Madara looked at Meji and said “My son…don’t involve yourself with the girls….believe me they will rip the heart right out of you and eat it,” Madara said in a low voice, but that didn’t help him. His wife still heard him and threw her metal spatula at his head. She went up to Meji and said “Son… girls are there to love you and to protect you. If you play your cards right you might end up loving them so much that you might give your life to them…..unlike your dad,” His mother glared at his dad while taking the spatula off Madara’s head. Neji smiled at Meji and walked off to take a bath, and so Meji sat there all alone. Well not exactly alone, but next to his dad who was now pretending to be dead after being swatted with the spatula so many times. Meji stared out of the window thinking of Ayame, looking towards the stars and wishing that she was doing the exact same thing……but what he didn’t know was that she really was doing the exact same thing as he was. Ayame had always known that Meji was stalking her…
“Dinner’s ready!” Mom shouted while sitting down and getting ready to eat.

***

“Brother…” Meji said as he saw his brother soaked in blood and holding Itachi’s collar. When he tried to pull his brother away, he saw Itachi’s eyes lose their redness. A normal Sharingan was as red as the dawning sun, but Itachi’s Sharingan was fading, so Meji knew it could only mean one thing…Neji did something to Itachi that no Uchiha should do to another. Neji was unconscious from the lack of blood and Meji had to carry him on his back. Although Neji wasn’t aware of whom or what was carrying him, he felt comfort and that was all he wanted to feel, sp he let himself go back to the unconsciousness, back into the black of his dreamless mind.
