(Time Skip 2 years)
Now that I'm 6, I can finally put my plan into action. I got Aoi to teach me the basics of chakra control, and while my control is still lacking, I now have high academy-level chakra, which, while not great compared to people like Naruto, is quite good since I haven't even joined the academy yet.
While exploring over the years, I have amassed a few acquaintances.
The main one, though, is Shisui Uchiha, who was only a few years older, which made it easy to get acquainted. This bond is needed, as Itachi isn't the type to talk to many other than his friends and family.
Whoever he is, he and Shisui are great friends as well as cousins, so if I befriend and start to train with Shisui, by extension Itachi will start to talk to me... I hope.
After stopping by the orphanage to inform Aoi of where I would be, I headed to the Uchiha clan district to talk with Shisui about training.
When arriving at the Uchiha Compound, I see 2 gate guards, and after walking up, the guard on the left snorts a bit and says, "Hey kid, are you lost?"
"May I speak with Uchiha Shisui, please?" I say in response. The other guard asks, "What business do you have with him?"
I was about to respond before a voice behind the men said, "Oh, Tomo, it's you. What are you doing here?"
I then widen my eyes as I see none other than Shisui himself walk past. As I mentally thank the sage that I didn't need to talk with the guards anymore, I say, "Oh, Shisui, I was just on my way to speak with you about potential training."
"Oh? Why is that?" he asks curiously.
"Well, Hokage-sama, Come by the orphanage to talk about the will of fire next week, and since you are already a shinobi, I figured you could help me train to impress him." I stated with fake enthusiasm.
He smiles and says, "Sure, come by my house after school tomorrow, and we will get started on the basics." I smile and wave as I leave. 'That was easy,' I muse while walking away.
As I make my way to the academy, I see a tall, fair-skinned man no older than 24 with blond hair; it was Minato Namikaze.
However, he wasn't much of a concern considering the nine tails would kill him soon enough.
So I don't say anything, and I continue walking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
After reaching the academy, I am swarmed by girls asking me about lunch and other trivial matters; however, I have no interest, as the only woman I will ever love is the silver-haired rabbit in the moon, plus I'm not into any of that pedo shit—it's just weird.
After entering the class and finding a seat next to some cannon fodder that will likely get their throats slit in their sleep or be cooked alive during the Third Ninja War,.
After an exhausting day of pretending to be interested in class and studying way harder than should be humanly possible so that I can act like a genius, the academy finally ended.
