Setting: Konoha - Uchiha Compound - Three Hours After Awakening
Soren strolled through the compound deep in thought 'I need to thank Naruto, the talk-no-jutsu is actually real. I don't know how I got out of that situation. I need to hope and pray that it's a common occurrence to be kneeling and crutching in front of the family crest. Yeah right. Who the hell would consider that as normal?! Whatever, I need to focus on right now. It seems like the holder of this body isn't well-liked. People have been glaring at me , openly mocking me harshly and loudly! It's pretty embarrassing, why are they interested so much in this kids life? The adults are taking notice of their kids but... it looks like they don't even care. Why? What did this kid do to be an outcast amongst his own.'
After thirty minutes of walking around, Soren wandered into the training grounds within the compound. It was occupied by a group of kids who couldn't be more than 7-9 years old. Soren tilted his head watching them as a realization came over him.
'Why isn't he enrolled in the academy? Shouldn't he be working on the transformation jutsu or even the clone jutsu? These kids are younger than he is so how come the guy from earlier was talking about him sleeping in, and the way he said it... It seemed like a common occurrence. Those kids are working on leaf exercises and tree climbing. Maybe he could've even taught them how he perfected it. My memories... wait no- these aren't mine. They're... they're his memories. They're sad. He's lying in bed for a lot of them, hiding his nose in books in others, and for the rest of them he's just buying food, indulging himself on a life he won't even have in a couple years. These aren't the actions of a bright-eyed child with big dreams to be the best ninja, but... they're of someone who's content to be a background character.. to be someone who fades into obscurity without even making an impact on the ninja world. Just... Just what kind of life have I inherited?'
Almost immediately after the thought finished, Soren had a chill run through his body, a tightness on his chest and a sharp inhale occurred. 'How... How did I know that? How did I see his memories?' Soren ran to hold onto the nearest tree as a wave of nausea overcame his senses. He clutched his head to try and block out the sensation of a nail being drilled into his brain. It feels like being inside a heavy fog to remember this boy's life which also happened to be his new one. It's disorienting, irking, clashing with his memories of who he once was before he became Soren Uchiha. Soren held himself against the tree, whilst attempting to gather his senses as the other kids approached.
Raiken, Sayuri, and Maiko approached Soren, the three of them wore a cocky grin and carried themselves with an aura of authority. The dynamic was clear. Maiko the leader, with Raiken and Sayuri as the two followers. Memories came forth once more as Soren opened his eyes to look at them. It felt real yet distant, like trying to recall a fading dream as he began to remember details about them. Soren instinctively felt on edge despite his sluggish and pained condition. They were the latest group of Uchiha kids that felt superior to Soren. They were in the academy, they joined as soon as they could at 6 years old, and although they weren't all in the same class, they hung out often during their downtime to train together or wreck havoc. "Hah! Look, it's Chubiha!" Raiken sneered.
Raiken was the youngest at 7 and by far the shortest in his class. he used to be teased for his height at 3'6(106cm) but his prodigal talent steered people from making fun of him. He had already awakened his Sharingan, and contained the necessary amount of chakra to make him on par with a Genin. He had mastered his eyes up to the 2nd tomoe due to his talent and guidance of his parents, he had spiky medium length hair, and a compact and muscular physique.
Sayuri said "Pfft. He'd better lose weight if he ever wants to be useful and live up to his name as Soren the Spare. What a loser, look! He's already tired just by walking here! Probably the most exercise he's gotten in months right guys?" Sayuri's comment caused the three of them to laugh. Sayuri was the oldest, she had long lanky arms, she had a growth spurt early and was already towering over her friends at 4'11(149cm). She was focused on the tree climbing practice, she did it with ease but was training on extending her duration. Sayuri hadn't unlocked the Sharingan much to her frustration but she was steadily working towards her goal of using Fire Ball Jutsu to be considered an adult by her peers and parents. She is the sister of Raiken, she was more athletic than muscular, and she had her long black hair in a low ponytail most days.
Maiko just watched the two of them with gleaming interest, always enjoying whatever trouble she and her friends can get into. Maiko was in the same class as Raiken, she stood a year back due to not meeting the skill requirements necessary although she'd never admit it. She constantly claims whenever prompted for a reason 'I wanted to be in the same class as my good friend Raiken! Otherwise how else will the best Uchiha's be in the same team together?!' She was the least talented by far but she had heart and that was... something. Maiko was a natural leader, she was constantly training and even at the times where Sayuri and Raiken was tapped out, she'd always convince them they had more left in the tank. Maiko was only limited by her lack of talent but she swore once she awakens her eyes she'll be able to catch up and exceed those around her. Maiko had focused on inciting the others, always being the loudest laugh to encourage mean-spirited behavior, and always being the one who asked. She reveled in it. She was 8 years old, had a slightly toned physique, and stood at 4'5 with her hair typically in a blunt cut bob style.
Soren attempted to stand upright but couldn't muster the strength so he settled for slouching on a comfortable spot on the tree. 'Fuck... I don't really want to deal with this. I just wanted to scope things out, to see if this was really my new reality... I didn't want to come and play tag with these tyrants! Fuck, I can't deny the facts though... They literally walked up walls like in the anime. What does that mean for my original body? My family and friends? Or even.. this kids soul?'' Despite the attempt to be intimidating and mocking, Soren was riddled by the thoughts in his own head to properly feel the effects of their words. Maiko asked with a snicker on her face "Helllooooo? Soren are you okay? Polly wants a cracker? You're gonna help us train right??" Raiken quickly followed up Maiko's question "Oh yeah he'll help us, he's just a little shy! You know that Maiko, he's already immersing himself to be an unsuspecting enemy who's unaware of the Uchiha might! I hope you're ready!" Sayuri stepped closer preparing to throw the first punch at Soren.
Soren flinched at the movement but it wasn't of the young girl Sayuri's punch but of the body flicker jutsu used by the towering female behind her. Her eyes... they were undoubtably the sharingan, bright red with three tomoe's within which hinted at her mastery over the dojutsu. Looking up at them... it left Soren's mouth slightly agape with surprise, they shook with an intensity he's never felt before. Her bloodlust was undoubtably palpable and since she came in an instant without a sound it only furthered the effect of feeling like a prey against a predator. Everyone in the vicinity felt the bloodlust radiating off of her including the academy students. The three of them jumped, Sayuri attempted to pull her fist back but she had put in far too much power to halt it immediately. She only managed to misdirect the punch into the tree behind Soren which led to her knuckles to undoubtably bruise.
The three kids hesitantly looked back as they collected themselves, they knew who it was, it was one of the only adults to care, one of the only adults to actively put an end to their relentless tormenting of Soren whenever she was near. She stood tall with her arms crossed at 6'1(185cms), she had her hair styled in a wolf cut, had scars of previous battles along her arms, she had the Konoha headband over her neck, wore a black sleeveless top, with a green flak vest over it, she wore black pants with heels to add to her already surprising height and had metal arm guards. She was none other than Taijin Uchiha, the mother of Soren Uchiha.

Soren The Spare - Soren's being used for spare parts
"And always being the one who asked" from Maiko's description - reference to the who asked meme lol
Blunt cut bob from Maiko's physical description - it's a hairstyle the hair's cut evenly just above, with straight edges and no layers
"Polly want a cracker" from Maiko's ending sentence - it's also a reference to another meme lol, particularly thought of the scary movie one. Search it up if you get a chance.
I also wanted to edit this chapter since I thought it was missing some more details and such! I'm pretty happy with it! I'll come out with a chapter tomorrow as I've now gotta edit my existing drafts! Cya!"
