Common sense

Chapter Three: Subterfuge

First Person POV____

I was sitting in class drawing on the side of my paper. It had been a few weeks since I had spoken with Yasu sensei.

"Alright, we will now have study period. I have made these packets with worksheets that will help you improve. They are all custom made for each of you so there will be no cheating." Shunichi sensei stated as he passed out the packets.

I couldn't help but sigh. We had also been getting packets like this during class time. Our goal was to finish as much as possible of them during class and each packet was different so I wasn't able to compare my answers to my classmates.

Sensei placed my packet down and I quickly flipped it open.

There was some basic math and as much as I hate to admit it, division was kicking my ass. It had been a long time since I divided without a calculator in hand. But that was nothing compared to fractions. I had been bad at those even in my past life. I always forgot the formulas to solve them. But I was getting the hang of them.

There were also some paragraphs with open-ended questions that I had to do.

Another thing I noticed was that I was actually learning a lot from these packets and I was one of the few that always got them completely done.

I bit the end of my pencil as I read over a paragraph and then wrote down my answer.

To be honest, my last 14 years of schooling in my last life really came in handy. Even if I didn't remember much I learned how to take tests.

Problem-solving, context clues, process of elimination, etc. I was able to go through and get most of the answers right.

As soon as I finished my packet I stood up and walked down to place it on sensei's desk. He gave me a curt nod before I hurried out of the classroom and went outside.

From there I waited until Obito and rin got out for recess so that I could chill with them.

I swung lazily on the swing. I couldn't help but get lost in thought about my past. I was always thinking about it. Trying to see if I remembered more of it.

To be honest I think that even my memories from the show are a bit clouded. There were already things that I was already forgetting and I also doubt that I will remember a lot of it when I really need it.

"Riku!" I turned to see Rin grinning as she waved her hand.

I hopped off the swing and hurried towards them.

'One thing is for sure, I have to write down what I do remember or else I will forget.'

"Obito what's wrong?" I asked as I glanced over at Obito. He had been mostly quiet and Rin seemed to be trying to cheer him up.

"It's nothing, I swear." He chuckled sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head.

I couldn't help but place my hand on his shoulder. "We are your friends and we help one another. You can trust us." I say calmly and his smile faded slightly as he let out a long sigh.

"My brother Fugaku activated his Sharingan when he was around my age. My parents and the elders are waiting for me to activate mine but..." he trailed off and pouted slightly.

I froze for a second. Fugaku, Fugaku Uchiha, wasn't that Itachi and Sasuke's father?! Does that mean Obito is Sasuke's uncle? If that's the case it's no wonder he was so pressured in the anime. If he made it to being 12 without activating it while being the son of the previous clan head they would be disappointed in him.
