I would like to announce that I released a new fiction titled My Life In The Multiverse, check it out and tell me what you think.

Halting his plans to further master the rest of the sage styles, Bakorio made his way to Konoha which already returned back to normal after the slight turmoil with the village hidden in the sky, and currently, they were unearthing their huge fortress that was hidden beside cloud village to investigate their technology and maybe replicate it in the future…

Bakorio decided to go visit Naruto and Sasuke first since he missed those two kids he didn't meet for months, so the moment he set foot in the village through its huge entrance, Bakorio immediately caught the scent of the two brats bringing a smile to his face as he started making his way towards them.

After a few minutes of walking and enjoying the scenery of the village, Bakorio found his nose taking him towards the civilian school.

Unlike the ninja academy which works to train those who wish to become ninja, this school is something all kids attend when they are 6 simply to learn how to read and write and learn some simple math, then at the age of 7, they could attend the ninja academy to further their studies and also starts learning the way of the ninja.

And currently, the students appeared to be on a break, and Bakorio immediately found his targets, Sasuke was being surrounded by admiring gazes from the girls with an annoyed look on his face as he ate his lunch. Clearly, people were attracted by his good looks and intelligence as they already started calling him a genius. Not to mention, being the youngest son of the Hokage made his status even more prominent for these civilian kids and even those who belonged to ninja clans…

Two girls Bakorio recognized that were clinging to him were a pink-haired girl and a blond one, and they both seemed to be fighting for Sasuke's attention, and seeing them, Bakorio immediately turned around and went to Naruto since he didn't want to be infected by their stupidity, especially Sakura…

After he turned his attention from Sasuke, he locked into Naruto's position and he noticed that he was standing along a sleepy-eyed kid with a lazy look on his face and a kid wearing a hoody with and had some red markings on his cheeks as well as another chubby one who was eating chips.

'You already made friends huh?' Bakorio had a kind smile on his face seeing these small kids walking a different path in their life, as for why he was sure of this? Simple, they were both carrying his short swords on their hips making them stand out of place compared to the rest of the kids.

Meanwhile, during all of this, Bakorio was standing near the entrance of the school and yet no one seemed to notice him, and they would simply pass by him, so taking advantage of his stealth, he made his way to Naruto's back and heard him say to Kiba

"Tch, Sooner or later I will knock that smug look out of Sasuke's face"

Shikamaru shot a lazy look at the recent bulge on top of Naruto's head caused by Sasuke and decided not to respond while Kiba directly mocked him with a smirk "Are you crazy? That guy already awakened his Sharingan, there's no way you can beat him nor anyone our age" Kiba's face was full of confidence as he also tried and failed many times…

"We'll see" Said Naruto before he snorted and caressed his short sword slightly when suddenly he felt a breath near his ear before someone said "Boo"

"AAAA" All four of the kids were alarmed by Naruto's scream and Naruto couldn't help but jump in the air like a cat before he turned around and saw a familiar face staring at him with a smile "What did I teach you about letting your guard down?"

This scream not only alarmed Naruto but also the rest of the kids in the courtyard and it also attracted Sasuke's attention who had an excited look on his face when he saw the cause of this commotion prompting one of the girls surrounding him to ask with a curious face "Sasuke-kun, who's that black-haired kid?"

Bakorio was wearing a black outfit and a black cape that covered all of his body which contrasted with his creamy white skin, All of these were items he received from killing monsters during his time training with Jiraiya and enhanced his attributes greatly... Meanwhile, the girls around Sasuke could only hear him mutter "He's finally back…" Before his eyes transformed into his two tomoe Sharingan and he drew his sword out and started rushing at Bakorio at his fastest speed alarming the girls who started screaming "Sasuke-kun…"

Naruto was the same but before attacking, he first used the shadow clone Jutsu creating 3 clones and drew out his short sword and attacked Bakorio immediately from every possible direction.

"What's going on? Is this kid an enemy" mumbled Shikamaru to Choji beside him but he only received a worried look as the chubby kid replied "I don't know"

"Tch we need to call the adults or someone might get hur…" Before Shikamaru could continue his sentence, he heard puff puff puff sounding as all of Naruto's shadow clones dissipated before that unknown kid dodged the short sword and disarmed it from Naruto's hand and used it to block Sasuke who just arrived before kicking him away at the same time.

However, this time, Sasuke managed to dodge the sudden kick barely making Bakorio open his mouth slightly In delight 'It seems this kid is progressing pretty well in learning how to use his Sharingan, not bad'

Naruto didn't leave Bakorio too much time to think as he attacked from the back and to the surprise of everyone, the two kids that always argued and fought each other were working seamlessly against the unknown kid that suddenly appeared.

However, at this point, the rest of the people finally woke up from their shock and those from ninja families decided to help Naruto and Sasuke!

"Damn I don't feel good about this" muttered Shikamaru before he suddenly interlocked his hands and his shadow started moving silently approaching Bakorio's until it touched it.

"NOW ATTACK HIM" Yelled the normally lazy Shikamaru only to get an amused look from Bakorio that sent chills down his spine as he suddenly felt himself flying through the air before he slammed into Kiba who was charging recklessly at Bakorio.

"ITe ite ite, what the hell was that, am I dreaming? Did he just manifest my own shadow and used it to whip me around" muttered Shikamaru in shock before he realized that he was sitting on top of Kiba, so he quickly stood up and helped him up too only to hear a whisper in his ears "Maybe your father can bind me for a while, but you still have a long way to go kiddo"

Shikamaru let out a helpless sigh… After all, Bakorio has the shadow bloodline… You can't expect to play with shadows against him!

After feeling like he had his fun and understanding the extent of the power of these kids, Bakorio finally decided to wrap things up, especially since he noticed that Sasuke was about to use a fireball Jutsu and he didn't want to go to far so he immediately appeared in front of him and tapped his head slightly causing the latter to wince in pain and hold it with a cute pout while saying "That hurrrrts"

"Well, you shouldn't have tried to use that, you might hurt the kids" said Bakorio before calmly tilting his head avoiding a punch Naruto aimed at the back of his head thinking it was a blind sport with a smug look on his face before he head-butted him leaving him wincing in pain with a pout just like Sasuke.

"D-don't harm Sasuke-kun"

"D-don't harm Naruto"

Two scared voices rushed to stand between Bakorio and the kids, it was surprisingly Choji and Sakura, and other kids followed after them bringing a smirk to Bakorio's face as he flicked their foreheads slightly surprising the two as he said with a smile "Why would I hurt them? They are my little brothers"

"EEHHHHH" all the kids had shocked looks on their faces while Naruto and Sasuke had bashful smiles and while this was going on, Bakorio shot a look at a Jonin that was keeping tabs on what was going on and the latter responded with a nod before he disappeared, while inside he was wondering 'This little monster actually discovered me so easily...'
